GUN BULLET is the sixth chapter of Hellsing: Volume 6, and the overall forty-third chapter of the Hellsing manga created by Kohta Hirano.
Summary
In a hard-earned victory that resulted in the deaths of half of their members, the Armed Priest Vanguard rejoices—a celebration that is cut short once they are forced to safely return Integra Hellsing back to the Hellsing Headquarters at the demands of Alexander Anderson despite many attempts to overrule the decision by Heinkel Wulf and Yumie Takagi. Zorin Blitz's herald reaches the headquarters, only for the missiles to be sniped by Seras Victoria's highly advanced weapon, Harkonnen II, an attack under the supervision of Pip Vernedead.
Synopsis
Heinkel points her pistol at Integra
With three Holy Bayonets, Anderson mutilates and shreds the final Last Battalion soldier with much excitement and energy. He brushes some parts of the stained blood on him, then questions his Armed Priest Vanguard, "How many of us are left?!" Heinkel Wulf informs Anderson that half of their members were taken, much to her surprise. She then orders the incineration of the corpses belonging to the Last Battalion as she reloads her pistol. Silently, Integra Hellsing flicks and tells the Vanguard that she will return to the Hellsing Headquarters, prompting Heinkel to hold her at gunpoint, despite Integra's insistence.
The Vanguard suffers a humiliation in the face of Integra's uncaring demeanor
She pulls the cigar from her mouth and tries to reason with the Vanguard, as she is in command of an agency that is awaiting orders. Heinkel states that they have received orders from Enrico Maxwell to secure and take her into custody. Coldly, even against a pistol pointed at her at close range, Integra demands a lighter for her cigar, dumbfounding the Vanguard. Integra calls them thoughtless, then once again demands a lighter, putting Heinkel in an awkward situation as she hesitantly lights Integra's cigar. She inhales and exhales the smoke in the face of the Vanguard.
Standing with a wall behind her, Integra proclaims that "a threat of a gun" would not work on her and that she is going "home." Yumie Takagi attempts a sneak attack, nearly unsheathing her sword before Heinkel stops her; they then discuss their course of action in an embarrassed and confused manner, provoking Integra after hearing Yumie's suggestion to tie Integra up and take her away. Integra asks the morality and acceptability of such actions to Anderson, who likens the act of forcing their will on a single unarmed woman to that of a "rapist." Integra demands that the Vanguard safely return her home, which Anderson agrees to in an answer that shocks the Vanguard.
Much to the reluctance and dismay of the Vanguard, Anderson agrees to safely return Integra back to her mansion, claiming that this is the best way compared to Maxwell's way of doing things
As the Vanguard follows Integra, Heinkel and Yumie bicker in fear of Maxwell's response; Heinkel tries to cope, but Yumie calls Heinkel's reasoning "sophism." Heinkel then receives an order from Anderson to find a vehicle, with the reasoning of them being "ducks in a barrel" out in the open. Heinkel reluctantly agrees, but one of the Vanguard questions Anderson's orders, telling Anderson that this will be seen as a breach of authority. Anderson declares Maxwell's "way" to be "too clever" and that his way is "for the best." Zorin Blitz's airship inches closer towards the Hellsing Headquarters, preparing for combat as the V1s make their way to be heralds for Zorin, launching towards the Hellsing Headquarters.
Seras, equipped with the highly lethal and heavy "Harkonnen II"
Zorin smiles but is shocked when the V1s are sniped from the Hellsing Headquarters, a report that baffles Zorin. On the rooftop of the Hellsing Headquarters, Seras Victoria is equipped with the highly advanced and destructive "Harkonnen II," which Pip Vernedead remarks weighs 345kg with a maximum range of 4000m; the absurdity of such a weapon being wielded makes Vernedead say, "It's like some blooming joke to mobilize that thing, girl." In annoyance, Seras requests Vernedead to stop referring to her as "girl," instigating a sarcastic response from Vernedead, who later invites Seras to partake in his revenge for London.
