Chapter 48 - The Monkey Talisman is Really Strong

Fisk Commercial Building.

The sacred place in the hearts of the many gangs in Hell's Kitchen.

Guests who could freely enter and exit the building were, without exception, existences with immense power.

For example, Congressmen, Government Officials…

Or, the elderly woman who secretly controlled the drug trade in Hell's Kitchen.

—Madame Gao!

This was the old witch who had defected from Eastern Paradise K'un-Lun.

She had survived for multiple centuries, possessed the ability of telekinesis, and once sent Iron Fist, Danny Rand flying with a wave of her hand.

Her long life and age made her increasingly cunning, and she kept her emotions hidden.

Furthermore, Madame Gao was fluent in almost every language in the world.

She possessed an unimaginable resistance to drugs.

Although she appeared frail.

In reality, she had the terrifying strength to take down an elephant!

Most importantly, as a member of The Hand's Fingers.

She could command the evil ninja group rising from Fusang!

The Hand.

A mysterious organization shrouded in mist.

It was said that the shadow of a prehistoric demon lurked behind it.

And had countless connections with Shadow Demon King Tarak.

A person has two hands.

A total of ten fingers.

Corresponding to exactly ten masks!

Of course.

Regarding the outside world's guesses and discussions, Madame Gao always ignored them. Her only duty was to earn a massive amount of wealth and hand it over to The Hand's master for offerings!

"So, aliens really do exist in this world."

The burly, imposing, and extremely fierce bald man in a suit was nearly two meters tall.

The man in the white suit was a gentlemanly beast.

His name was Wilson Fisk.

However, he preferred another nickname to his real name.

A symbol of the mastermind, a synonym for terror and authority.

Kingpin!

"In fact, not only are there aliens, but also demons, wizards, and monsters."

"The Earth is not as peaceful as you might imagine."

The frail, thin woman, her face lined with wrinkles and covered with age spots, spoke with a profound tone.

"The Monkey Talisman you possess."

"...is a relic of the Eastern Demon Emperor."

Huh?

Demon Emperor?

Kingpin's eyes narrowed, a glint of interest flashing within them.

Wilson Fisk wasn't entirely ignorant of the Fire Demon.

Especially after discovering the Monkey Talisman's ability to shapeshift, he had become incredibly fond of it!

Through the Monkey Talisman, he had cleared away countless obstacles, destroyed numerous opposing forces, and fabricated false evidence and miscarriages of justice on numerous occasions.

With his swift and decisive methods, he had firmly secured his position as the top dog of Hell's Kitchen!

However, the news that Shendu, the Fire Demon, who had been slumbering for a thousand years, was making a comeback...

The message arrived in Hell's Kitchen from District 13, across the ocean.

"You're in danger."

"Kingpin."

"The owner of the Talismans has descended upon the Fisk Commercial Building."

Madame Gao's pupils trembled. Listening to the Hand ninja's report, she couldn't help but stand up abruptly!

Shendu!!

Even Kingpin felt a surge of terror upon hearing this.

Clutching the Monkey Talisman in his palm, his expression shifted repeatedly, his face etched with conflict and struggle.

Who would willingly give up a treasure they'd obtained?!

Besides, he might be able to force Shendu back with the Monkey Talisman!

Gulp!

Kingpin's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint as he actually opened his mouth and swallowed the talisman.

Decided to hide it in his belly!

Want the talisman?

Come and get it from my corpse!

Clap, clap.

Clap, clap.

A crisp applause followed.

A young girl dressed in a dark Gothic Lolita outfit, and a handsome, almost flawless, Eastern young man, appeared before the two crime bosses.

"That's gutsy."

"No wonder you became the overlord of Hell's Kitchen."

"The underground ruler of the sin city."

Shen Du couldn't help but praise.

Then, changing the subject, he sighed and said, "I didn't intend to kill you in the first place."

The key skin will hinder the casting of the magic for retrieval! That is to say, it is necessary to cut open Wilson Fisk for the spell to take effect! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!

Shadows rose one after another, transforming in a blink into black-clad ninjas with bodies completely covered.

Only the scarlet eyes were exposed, emitting an extremely dangerous aura that was daunting.

Clang clang clang!!

Armed to the teeth, the Hand assassins.

Almost simultaneously, they emerged from hidden corners on all sides.

Arrows were aimed at the silent shadow ninjas!

"The world knows the name of the Hand."

"And yet, they do not remember the existence of my ninja corps."

"It's a disgrace!"

The Dark Queen emitted an eerie, fantastical, dual voice, suddenly floating upwards.

A chilling airflow spread outward.

The intimidating and terrifying pressure was something even the ancient hag, who had survived for centuries, was astonished by.

This little cutie…

Who exactly is she?

To possess such unfathomable, abundant magical power? It seems there isn't a single female child among the ten commanders of the Shadow Ninja Corps!

Clang clang clang!!

Shadow ninjas threw kunai and shurikens.

They clashed with the notorious Hand assassins! The latter initially gained the upper hand.

In the blink of an eye, they routed countless shadow ninjas.

However, the ninja corps possesses the terrifying traits of being taciturn and endlessly regenerating! Even if they are annihilated, they can be summoned again.

And, as time goes on, it will reach an astronomical number!

They will gradually reverse the situation through a sea of people!

"It seems your magical tattoo is quite extraordinary."

Madame Gao's eyes narrowed, keenly observing the Tarak Tattoo on Jade's ankle.

This was the foundation for seizing the Shadow Demon King Tarak's command over his troops!

Once washed away, the connection between them would be severed.

Of course.

Relying on the Grimoire Fragment's recorded mysterious spells.

Shen Du had already grasped the solution!

Everything was ready, just waiting for the final push!

ROAR!

A furious, frenzied roar exploded.

The burly and imposing Kingpin had transformed into a different, vicious, and terrifying form!

He resembled a bipedal, prehistoric ape.

His fangs were white, sharp, and uneven, and his mouth was filled with black saliva and a foul stench.

His fur seemed to bristle with steel needles, emitting a metallic clanging sound.

His massive frame lacked any fat, and his muscles were knotted and well-developed.

Every movement was filled with explosive power, seemingly enough to flip a tank.

To smash a tank!

At this moment, Kingpin's transformed appearance was strikingly similar to a classic monster from cinematic history.

A creature with the title of King of the Jungle.

— King Kong!!

The Monkey Talisman possesses the ability to change in a myriad of ways.

It can transform based on the holder's imagination.

It seems Wilson Fisk often revisits King Kong.

Dong dong dong!!

An explosion of sound, like a drumbeat, erupted.

A prehistoric giant ape, its thick, stout arms furiously pounded its chest, followed by a deafening roar!

"You!"

"Don't even think about taking the Monkey Talisman!"

King Kong roared in a deep voice.

Suddenly clenched his fist!

His giant hand tore through the air, emitting thunderous roars, carrying an indomitable force, smashing down towards Shen Du from above!

Boom!

The ground shook.

The floor of the Fisk Commercial Building cracked, then shattered, collapsing!

Even Jade and Madame Gao had to temporarily avoid the attack, retreating to the sides!

Their faces were pale.

"Shendu!"

"Giving up the Monkey Talisman is the smart choice!"

A piercing roar echoed again from within the billowing smoke.

The surging sound waves instantly dispersed the dust particles obscuring vision.

However, the battle hadn't even begun before it ended!

Endless symbiote fiber tissue layers piled upon Shen Du's arms, then condensed into a grotesquely shaped scythe!

Armament Haki enveloped it!

Suddenly enhancing the Venom symbiote's destructive power and lethality.

At an unbelievably fast speed, it pierced directly through the prehistoric giant ape's chest!

"You ultimately lack a bit of imagination."

"If I transformed into Godzilla..."

"Or Hydra, a Western dragon..."

"I might not be able to easily retrieve the Monkey Talisman."

A magnetic, lazy voice drifted over.

The refined and aloof Eastern youth looked regretful, shaking his head.

The Monkey Talisman.

It held the power of infinite transformations.

It fell under the category of animals.

The more detailed and vivid the images I constructed in my mind…

The easier they were to materialize!

"…Thank you for the reminder."

"Actually, I really like Dragons."

A hoarse, muffled laugh echoed.
