Chapter 114 (Online): Executives

A horrified monster watches Pig God consume its comrades, who had wrongly figured the hero would make an easy meal. Pig God snatches the screaming creature and swallows it too, but the cadre Gums ambushes him from behind and gulps him down whole. Pig God fights against being digested until Gums is forced to spit him out, and the two hungry monsters begin trading blows.

Elsewhere, a monster wounded by the Disciples of Atomic Samurai limps off muttering about turning something loose. Iaian, Bushidrill, and Okamaitachi are moving down a corridor when Bushidrill picks up a menacing presence from a nearby room and asks whether the others feel it too. Inside they find a tank of fish, and the fleeing monster catches up to warn them that even Gyoro Gyoro struggled to keep the thing contained, noting it counts as a cadre, before recklessly toppling the tank and releasing Evil Natural Water.

The fish inside instantly begin devouring that same monster, revealed as the Mad Doctor Fish. Its desperate pleas fail as the water engulfs it and the fish strip it to bone while the three swordsmen look on in shock. The Mad Doctor Fish then turn on Iaian, who slices through them with ease, but he grimly observes that although the fish pose little threat, the fight is unwinnable since there is no way to cut water.

Pig God devours a group of monsters and is briefly swallowed by Gums before their battle begins. The swordsmen trace a dangerous aura to a room holding a sealed tank, and a wounded monster frees Evil Natural Water and the Mad Doctor Fish, which immediately reduce it to bone. Iaian cuts down the attacking fish but recognizes the hopelessness of fighting the water itself.

This online edition, titled Executives (Kanbu-tachi) and given by Viz as The Big Shots, is the 114th chapter of the Monster Association Arc and draws partly on webcomic Chapter 65. Its cover reuses a 2018 piece by Yusuke Murata, and the chapter contains several art inconsistencies, including Iaian's pierced sword appearing intact a page later and the disciples' battle damage disappearing between panels.
