With Gibi dead, Sid was both terrified and furious. He raised his hand and fired at Bege, who casually deflected the bullet with a swing of his sword. Bege slowly advanced, while Sid retreated continuously, firing his pistol until he'd emptied all the bullets.
Bege lunged forward with a slash. Sid dodged sharply, avoiding the attack. He quickly gripped a dagger and flicked it towards Bege's face.
Bege tilted his head, avoiding the dagger, and shook his head. Sid's skills were truly unimpressive.
"Stop him!" Sid grabbed two burly men beside him and shoved them forward. The two men were terrified, but they didn't run. They charged at Bege. Sid, meanwhile, turned and fled.
Bege's form flickered, and with two slashes, he killed the two men. He quickly caught up to Sid and chopped off his head with a single stroke.
"Sid is dead. Do you still want to resist?" Bege said calmly, looking at the mafia members in the courtyard who were pointing their guns at him.
Some of the mafia members hesitated, but others, Sid's loyal followers, fiercely fired at Bege.
Bege shook his head, dodging the bullets, and charged into the crowd. He slaughtered all those who resisted, while those who didn't resist dropped their weapons, knelt, and begged for mercy.
Several castle gates opened on Bege's body. Miniature figures dressed in black suits, members of the gang, jumped out of the castle gates and immediately grew to normal size. In a short time, the courtyard was filled with people. These were all members of the Capone Family.
"Cleanse this place. Kill all of Sid's family and close associates," Bege said impassively.
"Yes!" Everyone, with expressions of murderous intent, dispersed in different directions.
All the surrendered mafia members were imprisoned by Bege in the cells within his body-castle.
Gunshots echoed throughout the mafia headquarters, interspersed with screams and pleas for mercy. This night was destined to be bloody.
After Sid's headquarters was cleansed, Bege ordered the mafia members to start clearing out Sid's assets on Pineapple Island. He then quickly moved to the other mafia family's headquarters to check on Modi's situation.
The battle on Modi's side was surprisingly still ongoing. Modi was engaged in a fierce duel with a swordsmanship expert, while on the other side was a group of people who were clearly not dressed like mafia members; they looked more like pirates.
"It's not over here yet?" Bege frowned.
"Godfather, the mafia boss is dead. But at the last moment, a swordsmanship expert from the Iron Shield Pirates suddenly appeared, challenging Master Modi. He wants to spar with Master Modi in swordsmanship. A few of our men were killed," Hank reported gravely.
"The Iron Shield Pirates? Hmph, they've delivered themselves to us," Bege sneered. He looked at the battlefield. The two men's fight was exceptionally intense and ruthless, clearly a life-or-death battle. Modi's right arm was bleeding profusely; it seemed he couldn't grip his sword properly. He was now holding his sword with his left hand.
"Was Master Modi's right hand injured by him?" Bege asked, frowning.
"No, it was a weapons specialist from the Iron Shield Pirates. His arm was shot through. If Master Modi's right arm wasn't injured, this guy wouldn't stand a chance against him, let alone suppress him," Hank said indignantly.
"Ryushi, finish him quickly!" The Iron Shield Pirates were cheering and shouting.
The noise greatly displeased Bege. He drew his long sword and slowly walked into the battlefield.
"Kid, get out of here! If you dare to take another step closer, I'll gut you," the leader of the Iron Shield Pirates, a giant of a man who was at least three meters tall and wore armor, roared at Bege with a domineering gaze.
Bege ignored him, saying calmly, "Master Modi, do you need help?"
Modi quickly retreated a few steps, his gaze sharp. He said gravely, "No need. I will definitely kill this man."
"Good. Then I'll go kill the others. If you haven't finished by the time I'm done with them, don't blame me for stealing your kill," Bege said with a smile.
"Alright!" Modi responded gruffly, then charged forward to continue the fight.
Bege's form flickered, charging towards the Iron Shield Pirates.
"You're looking to die!" The armored giant's face twisted, looking extremely vicious. He grabbed the turtle-shaped iron shield beside him and lifted his two-meter-long, half-meter-wide greatsword with his right hand.
Bege slashed at the turtle-shaped iron shield, producing a loud clang. The shield didn't even budge, and there wasn't even a scratch on it.
"What a sturdy shield. It must be made of special steel," Bege said, surprised.
"Hmph, kid, I'll chop you to pieces," the Iron Shield Pirates' captain sneered, swinging his greatsword at Bege.
Bege's form flickered, dodging the greatsword. The blade easily sliced into the ground, showing its sharpness.
"Quite agile, but it's useless. No one can break my defense," the Iron Shield Pirates' captain scoffed, charging at Bege with his greatshield.
"One Sword Style – Rhino Horn!"
Bege sneered and thrust his sword forward. A massive rhino-shaped burst of sword energy slammed into the iron shield with a boom, pushing the Iron Shield Pirates' captain back more than ten meters across the ground. A mark was left on the shield, but it still failed to break.
"Nice sword technique, but it's useless against me," the Iron Shield Pirates' captain laughed.
Bege's form flashed again, rapidly closing the distance. The roar of a giant demonic ape echoed through the night, and a flash of sword light appeared. The iron shield was split in two. The sword light continued, slicing through the Iron Shield Pirates' captain, leaving a deep gash in his armor.
"My iron shield!" The Iron Shield Pirates' captain was furious. Bege walked towards him step by step.
"Quick, Iron Shield Formation!" The Iron Shield Pirates' captain roared. The pirates hoisted their large iron shields, forming a shield wall. Spears protruded from the gaps between the shields, and they fired at Bege.
"One Sword Style – Dragon Bite!"
Bege instantly unleashed a slash, a dragon of sword energy surging out violently. It blocked all the bullets and crashed into the shield wall. The quality of these pirates' iron shields was far inferior to the Iron Shield Pirates' captain's turtle-shaped shield. The shield wall was instantly shattered, exploding into pieces.
Pirates were sent flying. Bege then charged into their midst, a whirlwind of sword energy quickly expanding, engulfing the pirates. They were thrown into the air, their bodies torn apart by the sword energy.
The pirates fell from the sky, their bodies covered in cuts, a bloody mess.
"You few are pretty good, to have dodged my sword energy whirlwind," Bege said, looking at the ten remaining people on the field.
"Kill him!" The Iron Shield Pirates' captain roared. The ten men simultaneously attacked Bege.
With swift movements and flashing sword light, Bege moved through them. Six of the ten fell, three instantly killed, and three seriously injured and incapacitated.
"Damn it, who are you?" The Iron Shield Pirates' captain clutched his chest. His sturdy armor had been cut through, and a bloody gash marked his hairy chest, bleeding profusely.
"The one who will take your life," Bege said, stepping forward with his sword. His form was like the wind, twisting and turning. In the blink of an eye, he reached one of the men and swung his long sword.
"Swish!"
With effortless ease, he sliced the man's throat. Then, amidst the horrified gazes of the other pirates, he continued to swing his sword, cutting down four more in the blink of an eye.
As he sheathed his sword, he looked towards Modi. Modi's long sword had pierced his opponent's heart, and his opponent's long sword had also pierced Modi's abdomen.
Modi pulled out his sword and looked at Bege. "I won."
"Why would you need to trade injuries to defeat such a petty thief, Master?" Bege walked over with a wry smile.
A castle gate opened on Bege's chest, and a team of medical personnel jumped out of the castle, quickly carrying Modi into the body-castle for treatment.
"Cleanse Pineapple Island. Tomorrow, I want the Capone Family to have complete control of Pineapple Island," Bege said to everyone.
