Chapter 100 Talpo
Chapter 100 Talpo
"What...what happened..." Tsunayoshi was so frightened that his voice was trembling.
The old man raised the bird-head cane in his hand and poked Tsunayoshi, making him scream.
Yan Zhen, who wanted to stop them, gave up the idea of going forward when he saw Mi Yin just standing there and smiling at the two of them. Since his own brother didn't do anything, the old man should have no ill intentions... right?
"Are you the new Vongola Tenth? You really look a lot like the first one." The old man poked for a while, and seemed to be very happy with it, and his tone became much higher.
"Eh? I? Grandpa, you are..." Who?
Before Tsunayoshi could finish his words, a large group of people rushed in from the gate. They were the ninth generation and his tenth generation guardians, as well as Reborn who had been chatting with the ninth generation.
"Grandpa Talpo?" The ninth leader looked at the old man in surprise. "Why are you here?"
"Ninth-generation leader, boy." The old man named Talpo looked back, his blindfolded eyes scanning the tenth-generation guardians. "Are these the guardians of the tenth generation?"
"Grandpa, you..." Tsunayoshi looked at the group of people who broke in in confusion, then looked at the old man, very bewildered.
"Since you've activated the Simon Ring, I'll help you upgrade your Vongola Rings as well." Talpo said calmly, "Give me both the Vongola Ring and the Beast Ring."
"Huh? Natsu wants one too?!" Tsunayoshi was so scared that he took a step back and looked at the Ninth Hokage for help.
"Leave it to him, Tsuna." The ninth generation nodded to him and revealed the old man's identity. "Grandpa Talpo is the oldest gold engraver in the Vongola family. Legend has it that he has been loyal to the Vongola family since his first life."
"Yeah, by the way, this is the first time I've seen this old man too." Miyin nodded in agreement.
With these two assurances, Tsunayoshi no longer had any doubts and directly handed over the ring on his hand. Seeing that the leader handed it over very decisively, the guardians also took them off. The last one, Hibari, hesitated for a second, took it off and threw it over, then turned around and left with the duckweed crutch, going out to fight Dino.
After a while, Dino's screams were heard outside. Miyin curiously leaned over to the door to take a look, then quietly retreated.
Tsk tsk... it's really horrible...
"And that guy's thing is also necessary..." Talpo lifted up his coat and saw countless strange things hanging inside the tattered cloak. Miyin looked at them with the perspective of her spiritual pupils. These things all had a strange energy, most of which were materials collected by the other party from all over the world.
Talpo fumbled around for a while, then finally pulled out a vial from a hanging bag that looked very similar to Sin. "Yes, that's it. The blood of the First Vongola, 'Punishment'."
"Ah?!" The appearance of this thing was beyond everyone's expectations, and they all opened their mouths in shock.
"Come with me." Talbo pointed at Miyin and said, "With you as the law agent, we can eliminate the risk directly."
"Okay~" Miyin, who helped pick up a pile of rings, winked at her brother and followed happily.
Everyone watched as the two of them entered the small room next door one after the other and closed the door. Tsunayoshi tried to go forward and say a few words but was too late.
Piling the Vongola rings on the table, Talpo poked Daisora's ring with his cane and said to himself, "Simon has activated the ring. If you don't upgrade it, you'll be in danger."
The room was silent for a moment, as if listening to the other party's response. Then Talbo's voice continued, "So you all should cooperate. We have a law agent here to ensure success. There will be no subsequent risks."
The other party's words seemed to annoy him, and Talpo raised his voice a little: "Behave yourself, you little brats!"
The crutch poked Daisora's ring with more force, making Miyin inexplicably feel as if she heard the faint wailing of the First Generation inside.
Natsu made an uneasy sound. Yayin stretched out her finger and touched his ring, comforting him, "It's okay, Natsu, you can go back to your brother after the upgrade." The little lion made a few purring sounds obediently. If he were in physical form now, he would definitely rub the other's palm.
After Talbo had arranged all the equipment, he finally took out a huge nail with a strange shape, threw the big sky ring into the vessel first, poured in the blood called punishment, swung the scepter in his right hand with the bird head facing up, and a ball of transparent flame of death ignited. He struck it down with great force, and the flames suddenly shot up into the sky.
Following the super intuitive prediction, Miyin gathered a ball of law power in the palm of his hand, divided it evenly into seven parts, and slowly injected it into the seven upgraded stones. This is the appearance of the Vongola Ring and the Animal Ring after being combined and upgraded. Later, their owners will need to inject fire into them to make these stones become the most suitable appearance for them.
Tsunayoshi, who was separated by a door, paced back and forth in the room restlessly, and Yan Zhen's eyes followed him around, and then both of them were dizzy and caught by their respective left and right hands. Reborn looked at the synchronized movements of the useless brothers and silently said "idiot".
"Tenth generation, are you okay?" Mukuro quickly put Tsunayoshi on the sofa, and Yamamoto helped to put a cushion behind him.
"I'm fine, I'm just worried about Xiao Mi..." The scene of the opponent vomiting blood because of forcibly using the power in the future decisive battle is still vivid in Tsunayoshi's mind. Since then, Tsunayoshi has always been subconsciously rejecting the opponent's use of power.
"Lord Miyin will be absolutely fine!" Yusi said confidently.
"Yeah." Tsunayoshi felt a little relieved after being comforted by his companions.
Edelhayt tapped Yan Zhen's forehead in frustration. "What are you following me around for?"
"Tsunayoshi-kun looks very worried, so..." He unconsciously followed suit. Yan Zhen's voice lowered because he lacked confidence.
The door of the small room was opened, and Talbo came out pushing a cart. Everyone immediately gathered around and saw seven strange-looking stones on the cart.
Tsunayoshi, who was about to go into the room to look for someone, ran into the person he was looking for. Seeing that the person was intact, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to Talbo's words, the guardians picked up stones according to their attributes. Skylark, who was fighting outside, was also dragged over by Dino. However, the latter had many bruises on his face, most likely from being beaten by the former.
Each person held a stone, injected it with flames, and the stone emitted various colors of light. After the outer shell was broken, the upgraded Vongola ring completely changed its appearance and appeared on its respective owner.
Gokudera's belt, Yamamoto's necklace, Ryohei's armband, Hibari's bracelet, Rambo's helmet, Chrom's earrings, and Tsunayoshi's...ring!
Everyone's equipment has the characteristics of their own box animal, and the most iconic one is the emblem in the middle representing the tenth Vongola.
"Huh?" Tsunayoshi, who found that his appearance seemed closest to the original one, looked at the new equipment in his hand in confusion. The two rings on the middle finger and the little finger were connected by a small chain. Compared with the original light gem appearance, this one looked much more complicated.
"This is the shape that the Vongola Rings themselves chose to best suit you. These shapes are the ones that belong exclusively to the Tenth Vongola Leader and his Guardians," Talpo said with a smile. "Their name is... VG, Vongola Gears!"

In the comics, there is a scene where flames come out of the old man’s cane. I don’t know what it is in black and white, so here it is set to night.
