A quick summary of Sakamoto Days chapter 117

In the previous chapter, Koba announced that the poison would kill anyone within 10 minutes, and he alone held the antidote. Nagumo tried to comprehend the poison's effects and contemplated why the only ones impacted were he, Kindaka, and Rion, while Uzuki, Konomi, and Amo seemed fine.

After ruling out factors such as gender, weight, and fitness, Nagumo deduced that the poison acted more rapidly on those who were physically active. The faster someone moved, the faster the poison spread through their body.

Meanwhile, Uzuki was under stress because of the task of killing Kindaka. This stress increased his heart rate, and he realized that an increased heart rate could accelerate the poison's spread. So, he quickly knocked out Konomi and Amo to help their bodies relax and live longer.

At that moment, Rion devised an ingenious way to reach Koba without having to sprint and inhale more poison. She sat on Kindaka's wheelchair and propelled herself towards Koba with the aid of a grenade blast. She then attacked him with a knife but used the recoil of her gun to move her arm instead of using her own strength.

Surprisingly, Rion then stopped attacking and started smoking a cigarette. The reason for this soon became apparent when Sakamoto's hand burst through the ground, grabbed Koba, and pulled him down into another tunnel below.
