"We've got trouble! A bunch of Public Safety Devil Hunters have barged in! The police have surrounded the place, too!"
"What the hell is going on? The police are one thing, but why are Public Safety Devil Hunters here too?!"
"Did some idiot cause serious trouble? But even then, surely it wouldn't bring Public Safety down on us?"
"Quick! Get the guns! No matter how strong those Devil Hunters are, they're still human!"
Clearly, these ordinary Yakuza members didn't know that Gun Devil Flesh was hidden in the building. Probably only a handful of higher-ranking members knew.
The Public Safety Devil Hunters' raid scared the Yakuza members inside the building witless.
Those who ran fast enough managed to get upstairs to fetch guns, while the slower ones were arrested on the spot.
But even those who were fast enough couldn't find a single gun in the armory.
With neither guns nor devil power, almost every Yakuza member in the building could do nothing but surrender.
The operation ended quickly. A small number of the Yakuza members in the building were killed, while most were arrested.
The Yakuza members at the other hideouts were all rounded up as well.
Those smaller hideouts had no firearms. For instance, neither that old man Hamano from Denji's place nor his subordinates had carried guns around freely.
Neither the police nor the Public Safety Devil Hunters suffered any fatalities during the operation, and only a few were injured.
They also seized one kilogram of Gun Devil Flesh from the Yakuza building, enough to put those arrested Yakuza members behind bars for life.
As the police led the Yakuza members away one by one, Asaba Kotone spotted the current boss and the young heir, Hamano Daiki.
The original boss had been that old man Hamano.
