History
Lawless City is a large city that doesn’t belong to any country and is considered to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world, due to its unique atmosphere, where the city is like a slum area and a suitable place to become a den for criminals as there is never a crime nor at least shady activity this place hasn't done, openly supporting slavery and prostitution. In fact, this city operating on survival of the fittest, where evil, wealth, and power from all over the globe congregate.

This place is not just an ordinary slum as the people who lives in this city were not ordinary vagabonds, but ruthless hunters wrapped them with a gleam in their eyes to aimed their prey by glaring their target as not a single one of them seemed like an easy target for being used to it and any weakling who stepped foot in this city was simply just nothing but a prey in the residents eyes.

Unlike other cities or countries, there is no moral order, security, or legal regime of any kind in the Lawless City which often commits many acts of corruption and illegal things, among them such as abuse, killing, harassment, robbery, rape, prostitution, murder, slavery, illegal sale of things, and other things that which are considered somewhat normal things to happen in the city. Also, the atmosphere of this city is still dangerous during the day and even at night it is much more dangerous.

In this city, the only exists law that applies is "Might", where everyone who lives there, whether man, woman, boy or girl which are born, grows or comes there, regardless of their race and species can only to survive there with sheer force and whatever means are available to them in order to protect themselves from others in their surrounding, as well as to create and exercise their own laws before the other peoples who inhabit there, although up to some extent certain point it has a partially deficient order.

This city is inhabited by various races so it is called a multicultural city. However, because there are no rules that limit them, they are free to do anything to fulfill their needs in carrying out their professions which are widely available in this city, such as thieves, bandits, sellers of illegal goods, slave traders and prostitutes. There is no one that can intervene in the Lawless City, be it kings, knights, or monsters, no one can interfere it.

As far as is known to the current date, the Lawless City has existed for a long time but its origin as such is not exactly known. Although the emergence of the Lawless City is not known, it is known that it was not always ruled by the 3 monarchs already known up to now, Elisabeth, Yukime and Juggernaut, each of them came later due to different circumstances, but it is known that since they established there, they or their own subordinates built the 3 high towers that would govern each third part of the territory of the Lawless City.

Great Trading Company Conflict
After the Red Moon incident, along with the destruction of the Red Tower and the defeat of its leader, Elizabeth (she withdrew with Mary the next day), only 2 towers were left standing along with their leaders. Yukime, leader of the white tower, upon being informed of the conflict between 2 companies that were secretly taking place in the kingdom of Midgar, remembering and witnessing the power of Shadow, asked her servants to invite him, since she believed that she was still in the lawless city, to ask him to join forces with her, so that yukime could take revenge on the president of the trade alliance, Gettan, who in turn, was her ex-boyfriend.

Soon after, Shadow went to Yukime request, and when she informed him of the situation, without telling him her reasons, plus the detail that she also ran a company on her own, Shadow ended up agreeing to help her, with the favor that will help him get a new outfit, without revealing his identity as such, to which Yukime agreed.

With Shadow's new outfit, under the alias of John smith, without revealing his identity as such, Yukime and him plan how they will carry out their plan to defeat both companies in the kingdom of Midgar, while they are weakened by the war in secret, while they were in the Lawless City, in the White Tower. It was at that time that John proposed to cause a "credit crunch" to Yukime, and after she understood how credit works as such, she agreed, and they both began distributing counterfeit bills throughout the circulation, of the city Midgar capital.

When the false notes began to be distributed throughout the capital of Midgar, the Shadow Garden girls soon realized that someone is planning to cause a "confidence collapse", which could result in their downfall, so they sent to the "numbers", to find out who it is and to recover the stolen Gold, before it is too late. The "Numbers" were sent, but they were defeated by the mysterious man, John Smith, when his superiors reported this, Alpha ordered Delta to go and investigate everything, and to defeat that subject. Delta soon found himself face to face with said subject and prepared to attack him, but when he launched himself at her, he immediately overwhelmed him when he learned from the smell that she was his Chief, to which Cid surprised him. Fearing that Delta would ruin his plans, he immediately stopped her and told her that she was on a top-secret mission that only he can do, and to avoid any trouble, he whimsically and improvisedly ordered Delta, to go to the Lawless City, and that he assassinate the leader of the Black Tower called Juggernaut, in exchange for granting what was within his reach.

Delta went to happily accede to her Boss's order and went to the Lawless City, where she once found the Black Tower and its leader quarreled with it, resulting in Delta killing him, happily fulfilling her Boss's order, and then retreating without a trace. This caused no one to know what happened to Juggernaut, leaving the Black Tower Inactive, until it was too late for it, leaving only Yukime in the end, as the only active monarch of the Lawless City.

With the sudden disappearance of Delta, the members of Shadow garden took the situation very seriously, believing that their partner had died, so Alpha went in person to confront John Smith. During that event, the Commercial Alliance discovered about the "credit crunch" plan, but believing that it was Mitsugoshi, he ordered his servants to go and inspect everything, but they were liquidated by John, shortly after, he found himself with Alpha, don when colliding attacks, Alpha discovers that John is his lord Shadow, Alpha felt full of anger, rage, pain and sadness, when asking his lord why he did all this, to which he said that he had something To do alone, Alpha got serious against her lord, demonstrating her new abilities, but in the end she was defeated by him, and then Shadow knocks her out.

After Yukime and Shadow's plan took their wins, Yukime told Shadow about her motive itself and so on, while they arranged everything for the final fit. As the "Credit Crunch" took place in Midgar, both companies suffered damage while the Shadow Garden members felt that their lord had abandoned them for being useless, but upon being informed of what their lord was actually planning they were relieved with joy and cried with happiness, knowing that their Master had not discarded them. Shortly after Delta returned from her lord's secret mission, they felt more relieved and began to follow their master's final plans in advance.

When Gettan finally discovered who had, according to him, planned everything, he faced Yukime, his ex-girlfriend, but seeing that she had gained more power, he lost the first match, but seeing that she did not have the Courage to kill him, Gettan used the Diabolos pills, to increase his power, and managed to seriously wound Yukime in the chest with his sword, but then John Smith appeared, Gettan faced him, but lost the death match, even with his powers increased by the metamorphosis of the pills.

After Yukime was healed by Jonh, she remembered that he was the one who saved her in the past, but after that, she was scared that all the gold had disappeared, but then she found out from Alpha about Shadow's true plan. Among other things, Yukime ki let Shadow pass by as gratitude and then, she became an ally of Shadow garden along with those who Yukime had in command, making Shadow and hers have an ally, who would rule in the Lawless City, causing Yukime to become the only standing and active ruler of the Lawless City in the end.

Monarchs and its Towers
Lawless City is ruled by the Three Monarchs (三人の支配者) who are ruling over the city as each of them control a third of the city and residing in their own towers (White, Black, and Crimson). However, the Crimson Tower was destroy by Shadow during the Red Moon Incident and the Tyrant was killed by his orders, leaving the Enchantress as the remaining Monarch in the city.

White Tower
Yukime the Enchantress : Yukime rules the White Tower (白の塔), where everything related to prostitution and sales of some is directed.

In this lawless area of the city, he handles everything related to prostitution, as well as sexual appointments, some restaurants (regardless, whether they are illegal or not), the sale and purchase of slave girls for those who want to have their own sex girls or cute maids, and as well as the sale of famous furs. Although most of said area is governed by Yukime, the branches of said place are also scattered in small areas of the Lawless City, in order to gain and attract the attention of those who visit their places, although at the risk of risking their personal, due to the constant power struggle of the monarchs, to see who would control their Zone.

Although although the issue of the sale and purchase of sexual servants and slaves in said areas governed by the leader of the white tower is handled, it seems possible that the girls who work in said places can win their freedom to leave that place and live outside the Lawless City if they like, without their Boss yukime being bothered, as was the case with Marie, who after being saved by Shadow, during the Red Moon incident, she went to try earn a better life in Orianna's kingdom.

Black Tower
Juggernaut the Tyrant : Juggernaut, ruled the Black Tower (黒の塔) with pure innate strength. (now the tower was left inactive, since Juggernaut died at the hands of Delta, by Shadow's capricious order).

In said Zone around the black tower, everything related to the sale of illegal weapons and equipment, along with chemicals, drugs, the sale of slaves, among other things, is usually handled in an industrial manner (as seen in the reports). trailer previews), said place was run by Jugernaut, where he ruled everything with brute force, unabashed instinct, and partly intelligence in a commercial way.

It is speculated that all those who work in said place, together with their trading points, manage in a strong, orderly and well-protected manner the merchandise that they sell and usually buy, under the hard and savage gaze of their boss, while at the same time These, upon entering their service, begin to be corrupted by the greed and arrogance of the place.

Red Tower
Elisabeth the Blood Queen : Elisabeth ran the Crimson Tower (紅の塔) as their queen, where vampires and their relatives, the ghouls, lived (now the tower was destroyed at the hands of Shadow).

The red tower was built as the headquarters, lair and refuge for the last vampires who survived the hunt for their race and species, at the hands of humans, more than a thousand years ago, but during a moonlit night, they took a strong power of this and with the strength and uncontrolled frenzy of the vampire Queen, Elizabeth, they managed to destroy 3 entire countries in just 3 days of the red moon, but after Mari defeated Elizabeth (without being able to destroy her heart as such), the vampires remaining, they took the body of their queen, and strengthened themselves and kept in the Lawless City, building their mighty tower, knowing him as the third leading force of the city, and therefore the most powerful of all, above the others. who ruled the black and white Towers, waiting for the opportunity of another red moon, so they could revive their vampire queen,

It is not known as such what the vampires dedicated themselves to directing or governing in their respective area as such, but it is intuited that they dealt with slaves, using them as food in order to continue existing, in exchange for allowing (ignorantly) that the residents They could live something close to their dominions. This is seen when the White Demon, who challenged the rulers of the red tower, to kill their queen (not knowing she was dead), easily lost the battle, but instead of killing him, the vampires let him live, like a guard dog at the entrance, letting only Queen Elizabeth's servants, relatives, guests, and those who were strong enough to defeat or kill, the "dog" of vampires.

As is known, the red tower was the first tower built in the Lawless City, with the arrival of the remaining vampires, becoming the first tower to rule over the city as such. Until the arrival of the other monarchs centuries later, the vampires showed disinterest in fighting land and disputes, against these monarchs, since according to them, they did not represent problems at all, and that did not interest them, but always keeping their territory well protected, against those who wanted to take them away or kill them.

Layout
The Lawless City is basically treated and seen as a gigantic slum where there were many huts are standing, shanties line the roads, the foul stench of garbage permeates the air and people who live freely on the streets. But, what prominently stands out the most in the city are the three enormous skyscrapers towering above its streets, namely White, Black and Crimson Tower.

People who only looked from the outside couldn't understand any aspect of the inside of Lawless City because they had never seen it in the first place and when proceed into the city center, the impression changed from a desolate slum to a miscellaneous city with a multicultural fusion.

The Magic Swordsmen Association had set up their base within the city, in order to quell the chaos due to disturbance which caused by the Blood Queen's underlings are having wreaked havoc around the city, resulting the surrounding countries close around the Lawless City had suffered from the damage they caused.

When night falls on the Lawless City, the most crowded area is invariably the Red-Light District (色街), which is the bustling place where many scantily clad women with lots of exposure saunter up and down the streets and trying to entice male passersby.

Normally, when a beautiful woman standing in the windowsill wearing nothing but her underwear on would cause hordes of men to stop in their tracks and stare. All the prostitutes in this town don't think about the outside world, which to them is just an illusion and all they have to do is forgetting everything by indulging themselves into drown of the transient pleasures of the night.
