The last person Nakano was expecting to see tonight, is Hanma Shuji. How he's not dead right now is beyond her, but if it were her choice, she'd go up there right now and end him herself.
The confused and shocked murmurs of the Toman members behind her pretty much sum up the whole situation. No one knows what's going on, but if the enemy is right in the middle of their territory, it has to be something important.
"Bloody Halloween." Manjiro finally says something, his voice carrying over the murmurs and silencing everyone else. "Valhalla's 300 versus Toman's 150. Despite an overwhelming advantage, each of you held your own and claimed our victory. Hanma Shuji, vice-leader of the gang we defeated, has a message for us."
'Another declaration of war? I'd be happy to settle that right here and now.'
Nakano sends a dangerous glare in Hanma's direction as he takes a stand in front of the rest of the gang. "Hanma Shuji here, from Valhalla. My gang has never had a leader."
Nakano knows why that is now. Her brother told her that Valhalla was created for Manjiro to rule. Now that they failed to destroy Toman, and with Valhalla defeated, that shouldn't happen.
"So... In the wake of our defeat, we'll join under Toman's banners."
And like that, all of Nakano's common sense has been thrown out the window. "You what?!"
"Nakano!"
Takemichi pulls her back to no avail, but feels two more sets of hands holding her back. She glances back to see Draken and Mitsuya taking hold of her.
"Cool it, Nakano!"
"You heard me, princess." Hanma sends her a quick smirk, before turning back to the rest of the gang once again. "Valhalla is now affiliated with the Tokyo Manji Gang!!"
There are echoes of scattered mumbles, as the Toman guys take into consideration the benefit of joining forces with Valhalla. They start chanting Toman's name, taking this as another victory. Sure, the gang got bigger, but they have no idea what hell awaits them all now that it happened.
'Manjiro... Why?' She looks up at him, a spark of betrayal in her eyes. 'I promised I'd defeat them for you, but you made them a part of the gang? Are you kidding me?!'
He looks at her, and she swears for a moment that she sees a hint of regret in his eyes before he averts his eyes to the rest of the gang. His expression hardens once again, like he's forcing himself to look tough now.
Nakano relaxes, shrugging her shoulders to get Mitsuya and Draken to release her. ''Does he even know what he's doing?'
"Somebody helped to connect our two gangs!" Hanma then adds. "It's thanks to him that this is happening at all!"
As if the situation weren't dire enough, Nakano and her twin share a glance, knowing exactly who Hanma is talking about. The worried look on Takemichi's face reflects onto hers, before she narrows her eyes.
"Please step forward! Kisaki Tetta!!"
"Kisaki is the enemy."
"With that piece of shit in the gang, everything Toman stands for will mean nothing."
"If it all goes to shit, please protect my friends."
"I'm trusting you to take care of Chifuyu and the others for me. Promise me you will."
"Mikey... And Toman... I'm leaving them... In your hands!!"
'Fuck!! All of Toman is in danger now, and Manjiro's been manipulated! All of this was happening, and we didn't have a clue!!' Nakano squeezes her fists tightly, digging her fingernails through the bandages. 'Shit... I'm sorry, Baji... I let my guard down...'
