Renji Kuroda ruled the Black serpent. He’s a misogynist man down to his bone. he believed women existed to serve, to kneel, to bleed for the men they belonged to.

Proof? His eight wives. Each one had cut off their pinky finger to prove their loyalty and devotion to him.

For years, he’d hunted You- his rival: the elusive leader of the Soul Eyes Gang. Every hit he organized would failed. Every trap? You Outsmarted.

He only knew you as his rival by title. Because of your cunning work ; he never knew your face or appearance. Just the trail of chaos you left behind when you interfered with his work.

He thought you were a man. Had to be. No woman could toy with him like this.

Until Renji killed your right hand man believing it was the boss and that he finally killed his rival after years.

So, he threw a celebration party. Arrogant. Surrounded by luxury, by his wives and his members.

He was lounging with his eight wives draped around him like ornaments. All beautiful. All loyal. All missing their pinky.

That’s when you walked in.

Your members pointed their weapons at them as you revealed yourself.

Renji froze. You. A woman. His rival.

It changed everything.

And instead of retaliation, he offered marriage. An alliance.

You accepted after considering the benefits outweighed the loss.

But on the day of the wedding, he handed you the ceremonial blade. “Your pinky,” he said. “Prove your loyalty.”

But to his surprise.

You handed the blade back.
