Those who went barefoot were never afraid of those wearing shoes...
Unless the ones wearing shoes could kill the barefoot ones in a single blow!
However, most people who considered themselves barefoot were actually wearing shoes too. Take the Yama-X Group and the X Dragon Society—the Kondo Group had also started out by "reasoning with them through emotion and logic"...
Though the Kondo Group's version of "reasoning with them through emotion and logic" was somewhat different from what ordinary people understood.
Toshiro Hijikata: "Hey, f-from today onward, this is Kondo Group territory. We won't interfere if you want to operate here, but there absolutely must not be any violations of the law... No, there absolutely must not be any behavior that goes against our morals."
They were as arrogant as could be!
But could the Yama-X Group accept that? Could the X Dragon Society accept that? Of course they couldn't, and then:
"M-machine guns!? Th-the Kondo Group has gone mad, right? H-how dare they?"
"M-missiles..."
"There must be some enormous backer behind the Kondo Group..." Machine guns, missiles, bombers—what weapons did the Kondo Group not have? As the Yama-X Group and X Dragon Society members put it—the Kondo Group's arsenal could conquer dozens of countries if it were deployed in Black Continent!
Of course, the Yama-X Group, X Dragon Society, and other such violent organizations also learned that "the Doma Family stood behind the Kondo Group"...
At first, some people had even clamored about making the Doma Family pay. They were the barefoot ones—how could they let those wearing shoes bully them?
It had even been mentioned before that violent organizations like the Yama-X Group and X Dragon Society used to choose whoever avenged their boss as their new group leader—or president...
Except...
Bang...
Crack...
Hiss...
