The Level 2 Technique? Unleashing the Silver Cannon!

'''Drag was sent flying through the air after being defeated by White, but Zet Largon is still at large, and the villainous cyborg has beaten Wanamo down. Now, he has a new plan, and is telling the grunts from the village to bring hostages to the base. '''

Golden Voyage Part 9
'''Zet Largon chuckled sinisterly into the Den Den Mushi. Wanamo could only look on in horror as the plan unfolded. A word came through the transponder from the town. '''



'''Den Den Mushi:  Aye Aye, sir. Harharharharhar! '''



'''Zet Largon:  Larahahahaha! Do you see what resisting does now, you fool? Larahahahaha! '''



'''Wanamo fell onto one knee from his wounds, but struggled back up. He coughed up blood. The rain started to let up a little. '''
