Black Lagoon Chapter 93

IT’LL MELT YOU KNOW?

PUT IT IN BEFORE IT WARMS UP,

FIRSTLY, THE ALBANIAN MAFIA.

IT’S EDA’S TURN!?

MEMBERS OF SHIGURIMI*, [ALBANIACS], SPLIT OFF AND THEY TOOK OVER FORMED THE LOCAL A GROUP.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY THE PARENT ORGANIZATION OF THE ROGUES FROM THE [KOSOVO LIBERATION ARMY (KLA)], BUT...

AREA AND ARE NOW THE YAKUZA AND DRIVING FORCE OF THE NEW ERA IN EASTERN EUROPE.

*Shigurimi: the Albanian National Security Bureau

OF COURSE.

THE ONES KEEPING SICILY’S RONNIE ‘THE JAWS’ COMPANY ARE...

YES.

SO, NEXT.

THAT’S THE IDENTITY OF THE GUYS YOU ATTACKED.

THE 4MAN GROUP OWNED BY [BREN THE BLACK DEATH], COMMONLY KNOWN AS [EN CALTIET] (THE BIG 4)

THEY’RE ILLEGAL AGENTS WHO DO DIRTY WORK FOR A LIVING.

THEY’RE OF DIFFERENT RACES BUT CALL THEY THEMSELVES MOVED BROTHERS. HERE RECENTLY.

*Tirana: capital of Albania

CARTELS FROM THE PARENT ORGANIZA -TION IN TIRANA* NEARLY ALL THE MEMBERS ARE FROM SHIGURIMI.

HE PROVIDES COVERING FIRE HE ACTS LIKE WITH A HE’S ONE OF MACHINE FRANK GUN, HE’S FRAZETTA’S* A MACHO HEROES, BUT IT’S MORE LIKE IDIOT.

C CLASS ACTION FROM A VIDEO CELL.

THE SECOND BROTHER, ROBERTO.

HE THEN STARTED WORKING TOGETHER WITH MONKERO.

HE WAS PREVIOUSLY HIRED BY CARTELS IN SALVADOR AS A HE’S A GUNMAN. SNIPER, SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT.

- AND THE FOURTH PERSON,

RICO! OUCH!

THIS GUY...

?

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET TOO COMFY IN YOUR JOB.

THE TOP KILLER AMONG AMERICAN CRIMINALS. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HE USED HIS CURSED ABILITIES TO MAKE A LIVING.

THE ELDEST BROTHER, MONKERO, IS BRAZILIAN.

*Frank Frazetta: an American comic book artist

HE WAS NEXT, DISHORABLY DISCHARGED BUCKSON, A KOREANFROM THE AMERICAN. ARMY FOR HIS ATTITUDE, JOINED A KOREAN GANG IN LA.

WE’VE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY BUT STRANGELY ENOUGH,

NO ONE’S SEEN HIS FACE.

ANYWAY, WE HAVE 4 PEOPLE AS OUR OPPONENTS, BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET THE FOURTH PERSON GET CLOSE, DON’T FORGET.

SO...

THERE WAS A SUDDEN RISE IN GOLD TRADING RECENTLY.

THIS GUY IS AT THE CENTRE OF IT.

I’M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT,

EVEN AROUND BREN’S PLACE

WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT THERE’S A FOURTH PERSON BUT...

GOOD GRIEF. WE’LL TRY TO GET SOME INFO ON THIS GUY SOMEHOW. NEXT ROCK, AS YOU IS ASKED, I GOT THIS THE PUBLIC GUY. INFORMATION FROM THE GFMS*.

THE BUSINESS PARTNER WAS HIDDEN,

*GFMS: Gold Fields Mineral Services

WE DON’T KNOW HIS NAME OR RACE, WE KNOW AT LEAST HE SEEMS TO BE A KNIFE – USER…

WHY’RE CHALLENGE. YOU AIMING FOR THIS GUY? JUST FOR TRAINING, - RIGHT, LET’S SAY…

AND THE FEWER THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THIS ONCE SECRET, THE EXPOSED, BETTER. A SECRET ORGANIZATION IS WEAK. IT’LL COLLAPSE. YOU CAN’T FIGHT AN YOU UNKNOWN REALIZED THREAT, THIS TOO, THAT’S AND THAT’S WHYWHY YOU’RE FOLLOWING HIM, RIGHT?

YOU’RE NOT TOO BAD. READING A PERSON’S MOVEMENTS IS THE BASICS OF INFORMATION -GATHERING.

WHY DON’T YOU TAKE A GUESS?

THAT’S AN ODDLY SPECIFIC TARGET.

HM, FOUREYES, YOU’RE AN EX-SPY, AREN’T YOU?

TAKING AN EDUCATED THIS GUY GUESS, WAS IN ON A BIG SECRET IN THE ORGANISATION.

THIS IS A DEALER HE’S WHO INCONSPICUOUS DOES NOT YET DOES A TAKE LARGE AMOUNT RISKS OR OF BUSINESS AS MAKE I THOUGHT, A FLASHY STRANGE DEALS, DEALER.

EXACTLY, FOR A COMPUTER GEEK, I THOUGHT YOU’D BE THE SAME AS THOSE IDIOTS AT THE NSA*, BUT-

*NSA: National Security Agency

HOW MEAN. FINE, I’LL ACCEPT YOUR

OF COURSE.

*LMBA: London Bullion Market Authority

BACK TO THE POINT.

YOU’VE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

THE LMBA* RUN

BY THE BANK OF ENGLAND, THE DEALER’S AFFILIATED WITH THEM.

THI GUY, HE WENT THERE, RIGHT?

DID THEY GET INTO SOME TROUBLE?

ONE DAY, THE WORK STOPPED FOR SOME REASON.

THERE WAS A GOLDMINING OPERATION IN ALBANIA.

ABOUT THAT-

IT’S BECAUSE THE [WASHING MACHINE] BROKE DOWN.

TO CELEBRATE THE NEARCOMPLETION OF THE WORK, HE WENT ON A CRUISE TO A CHALET.

GOOD ANSWER. THE GUY’S NAME IS ZEMID DIAB.

HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED, BUT ANYWAY-

WHAT’S IMPORTANT IS NOT HOW HE DIED.

HIS RECORDS SHOWED THAT HE MET A SICILIAN FRIEND IN AN UNKNOWN LOCATION A WHILE AGO AND-

EXAMINATIONS

BY THE LOCAL MALTA POLICE AND THE LONDON POLICE SUGGESTED IT WAS A SIMPLE ACCIDENT. ASIDE FROM THAT-

HE DIED WITHOUT REVEALING A THING.

NATURALLY,

BY DEATH.

ALL WE KNOW IS THAT HE DROWNED.

HE HAD NO RELATIONS OR PARTNERS, HIS CAUTION MAY HAVE BEEN HIS DOWNFALL.

FOR THE [WASHING MACHINE] THAT OPERATED SMOOTHLY FOR 20 YEARS TO BREAK DOWN AT SUCH A TIME, THE GUY RESPOSIBLE MUST BE PUNISHED,

…

THE MONEY THAT HAD BEEN LAUNDERED UP TO NOWWHERE IS IT?

AT LEAST WITH REGARDS TO RONNIE ‘THE JAWS’.

THAT’S NOT MY JOB, ROCK.

ABOUT THAT,

I ALREADY GOT YOU THE NAME OF THE DEALER.

BUT AS A FRIEND,

IF YOU ASK ME-

YOU SHOULD CHECK THE BTCE.

ANY MORE INFORMATION WILL COST YOU, SO INVESTIGATE IT YOURSELF…

…

THE EUROPEAN BANK FOR TRADE AND COMMERCE, HUH.

STORING MONEY EARNED FROM DIRTY WORK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN WISE.

YES. IT’S A POPULAR BANK FOR DICTATORS AND ORGANISED MAFIAS.

THIS IS THE LIMIT OF OUR ALLIANCE, HUH.

ROCK.

WITH EDA’S HELP, IT’S ALL CONNECTED NOW.

WELL,

WHAT EDA DOES IS UP TO HER AND HER ALONE.

WE CAN’T GO BANKRUPT.

… THE ITALIANS’ QUARRELS WERE WHY I CAME HERE AT THE VERY START.

THE FORMERLYSHIGURIMI MAFIA MEMBERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE CHAOS AND ESCAPED WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS’ GOLD, THAT IS-

AL DRAGUA*.

*This appears to be a name. As someone who doesn’t read Black Lagoon personally, I have no idea what this means, unfortunately.

JUST AS I THOUGHT, THEY’RE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR THE LOST LAUNDERED MONEY.

THAT MUCH MONEY, ANYONE WOULD LEAVE IT HIDDENIN A SEA OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS. CAN WE STEAL IT?

THAT’S ONE OF THE OPTIONS, BUT I DON’T IT’S TOO THINK IT’S A DANGEROUS. GOOD IDEA, FENG.

THEN,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

AND SO WE’LL HAVE TO HIDE OUR TRACKS WELL. THAT’S YOUR SPECIALTY, RIGHT?

WE’LL USE THEIR MONEY AS A SHIELD, AS A SECURITY MEASURE TO KEEP FENG SAFE...

…

FIRSTLY,

I HAVE A DIFFERENT IDEA.

I’M CONFIDENT THAT I CAN SLIP THROUGH THE BANK LIKE A GHOST AND GET THE MONEY OUT.

WAWAIT A MINUTE!

BUT...

THAT

IT’S TRUE THAT IF WE USE THAT PLAN...

MACHINE,

IT’S OFFLINE.

AHAHAH AHA!

SFX: AHAHAHA

WHAT AN OVERSIGHT!

AHAHA, MY STOMACH HURTS! IF YOU’RE NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, YOU CAN ONLY PLAY MINESWEEPER! UH, WHAT ABOUT AN INTERNET CAFÉ-

AHAHA, EHEHEHE HUH? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

THEY KNOW YOUR IDENTITY,

LIKE I SAID, IT’S VITAL THAT WE GET INTO THE SYSTEM SOMEHOW,

ARE YOU SLEEPING? ROCK.

- YOU DO REALIZE.

HOW ELSE...

THEY’LL SPOT YOU IF YOU GO TO AN INTERNET CAFÉ.

ISN’T THERE SOMEWHERE WE CAN GO ONLINE...

DID YOU FORGET THE RECENT SHOOTING,

AND THAT REVY’S STILL LOCKED UP?

I THINK THE MAFIA IN THIS AREA HAVE THEIR OWN WE COULD SERVERS, TRY USE THOSE,

WELL,

SECRETLY, ANYWAY.

WELL IF IT WERE ME, IN THE CAGE OF THE TIGER, SINGLEHAND EDLY WINNING A FOOTRACE WOULD BE PRETTY HARD.

THOSE SERVERS ALSO HAVE LOTS OF WONDERFUL SECRETS, RIGHT? IF YOU FORCIBLY TRY TO USE THEM...

EVEN IF WE’RE CORNERED-

DAMN,

DON’T PANIC, SEXY. I CAN’T THINK OF ANY OTHER PLACES NEARBY WHERE WE CAN GET ON THE THE END OF INTERNET, AFTER ALL THE THIS ISEARTH*.

THERE’RE STILL THINGS WE CAN DO, RIGHT? IF IT’S THE ROANAPUR WHY CITY DON’T WE POLICE, START IT’S NOT WORKING THAT FROM HARD. THERE?

FOR EXAMPLE, WE CAN START WORKING TOWARDS GETTING REVY OUT. TO GET TRANSPORT SHE’S BEEN FROM THE DETAINED CITY POLICE FOR A STATION TO WHILE CENTRAL, WE ANYWAY. CAN THINK ABOUT THAT.

WHETHER IT’S SAFE OR NOT...

IT’S AS SHE SAID,

—- THE CITY POLICE, HUH.

RAISING BAIL FOR HER ISN’T A PROBLEM— BUT,

*I think this means a really rural area.

CAN’T WE DO IN THIS ANYTHING? STATE, EVEN IF WE KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS, WE CAN’T GET IT.

THE CITY POLICE!

FOR THE CENTRAL DATABASE TO BE USED, THERE SHOULD BE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE.

WELL, NOT LIKE THE MAFIA’S GOING TO CARE.

GIVEN THE SIZE OF THIS CITY,

IF IT’S THE CITY POLICE, IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THEY’RE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.

SOMEHOW, FOUR-EYES’ PLAN ISN’T THE MOST SENSIBLE.

ROCK.

YOU’RE THE BOSS, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

THIS MAY BE THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT THIS CITY ISN’T THAT SMALL.

THAT’S OUR HAND… SO, ROCK. IT’S WORTH LOOKING INTO.

- IF IT ALL GOES WELL, WE CAN ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES AT THE SAME TIME.

VERTICAL TEXT: TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE! A RAID ON THE CITY POLICE!?

WE’LL START WITH THE CITY POLICE.

Hello, Hyaka here! Thanks for reading our scanlation of Black Lagoon 93.

Just wanted to say that this was a really text-heavy chapter, and I had a LOT of problems trying to translate the lines… especially Eda’s. So while I’m confident I’ve gotten the gist of it, please take some of the details with a grain of salt.

If you find any errors, please drop us a message either by reddit or tumblr and we’ll be happy to make a correction!

As this chapter specifically was requested for translation, we are not planning to pick up the Black Lagoon series for translation, unless it is specifically requested for again.

That’s all, cheers and on to the next translation! \^0^/ - Hyaka
