Chapter 102 Dragon-level disaster! Bald!
Chapter 102 Dragon-level disaster! Bald!
"Second place in S-rank..."
Lily was so frightened that she covered her mouth, afraid that she would accidentally scream.
Under the premise that Blast, the first in S-Class, has been missing for many years, the second in S-Class has already dominated the entire Hero Association.
It was incredible that such an important figure was sitting in front of her and having a pleasant conversation with Lady Fubuki!
"Okay, okay, we haven't tested it yet, don't brag too much."
The corner of Borsalino's eye twitched slightly. It had been many years since he had experienced such a scene where everyone around him was shocked after knowing his strength.
Now that I experience it again, I always feel a sense of shame.
Having been an admiral for too long, he seems to have become thin-skinned. Decades ago, he still enjoyed the admiring looks of others.
"Ding ding ding..."
"Ding ding ding..."
Before Fubuki could say anything, her and Lily's cell phones rang at the same time.
"Master Fubuki, there has been a monster attack in City A! The target is wreaking havoc, and the current disaster level is tentatively rated as 'ghost', and the threat level is rising rapidly!"
Lily quickly answered the phone, and after a brief conversation, a panicked expression suddenly appeared on her face.
Although the current disaster level is still tentatively classified as 'Ghost', according to the association's notification, the threat level of the target monster is still increasing, and it is very likely to be identified as a 'Dragon' level disaster.
That would be a crisis that could lead to the destruction of several towns, even if City A is the headquarters of the Hero Association!
"Don't worry. City A is where the headquarters is located. It won't fall so easily. Auntie will be fine... Lily's mother lives in City A..."
Fubuki hugged the helpless Lily, and seeing that Borsalino seemed a little curious, she began to explain.
A dragon-level disaster is judged to be a crisis that could destroy a city or even several cities. If you are lucky, it may be defeated as soon as it appears and will not cause too much damage to humanity.
But if you are unlucky, the consequences can be quite serious.
Therefore, every time a dragon-level disaster breaks out, the Hero Association will do its best.
S-class heroes correspond to dragon-level monsters, but that doesn’t mean every S-class hero is capable of dealing with dragon-level disasters.
Especially these monsters that could be judged as a 'Dragon' level disaster as soon as they appeared, it would be quite dangerous even for S-level heroes to face them.
By the time the S-class heroes arrived and joined forces to destroy the monsters, it was not surprising that the entire city was reduced to ruins.
Many cities have such abandoned urban areas, which are the ruins left after being destroyed by monsters.
With Fubuki's comfort, Lily finally calmed down, but at this moment, their cell phones rang again.
This time, Fubuki took the initiative to look at it, and she, who had just been comforting Lily, also showed a shocked expression.
"What's wrong?"
Borsalino asked casually. It had not been long since he came to the One Punch World, but he had already begun to feel how dangerous this world was.
"There are no S-class heroes near the headquarters. The thirty-one C-class, B-class, and A-class heroes that were dispatched have all been defeated! It can be confirmed that the disaster level has risen to 'Dragon'!"
Fubuki pursed her lips. Even with her strength, she would feel powerless facing this kind of "inhuman" monster.
If the place where the monster appeared was not in City A, but in City B where the Fubuki Group was located, even if all thirty members of the Fubuki Group attacked together, the result would not have changed.
"By the way, if I get rid of that weirdo, can I become an S-class hero directly without passing the test?"
Looking at Lily, who was shivering in Fubuki's arms, Borsalino raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke.
Although they are humans from another world, protecting civilians from pirates is the justice that the navy upholds.
Now it's just a matter of replacing the pirates with monsters. As a man who shoulders the responsibility of justice, Borsalino will naturally not stand idly by.
"Absolutely! Only S-class heroes can independently resolve dragon-level disasters... No, only S-class heroes can participate in handling dragon-level disasters!"
Fubuki didn't care that she hadn't yet pulled Borsalino into the Fubuki team. Compared to the glory of the Fubuki team, getting rid of the monster as soon as possible was the most important thing.
"Well, how far is this place from the weirdo?"
Borsalino tried to expand the range of his Observation Haki to the maximum, even covering the entire city's surroundings, but still failed to include City A.
There are only dozens of cities in the world. In other words, these dozens of cities accommodate people from all over the world. It is not difficult to imagine how amazing the area of these cities is.
"City A is only 127 kilometers away from here. It only takes two and a half hours to get there by train!"
After hearing what Borsalino said, Lily suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.
An S-class hero may not be able to solve a dragon-level disaster on his own, but saving people is not a difficult task. Besides, Mr. Borsalino is a strong man whom Lady Fubuki highly respects!
"Where are the trains going to City A now? Drive my car there!"
Fubuki acted decisively. It was great that Borsalino was willing to help, although she was a little reluctant to part with the luxury car she had just bought. After driving it for more than a hundred kilometers, it had turned from a new car into about 80% new.
But in order to defeat the monster as soon as possible and rescue Lily's mother, Fubuki couldn't care less.
"Driving? That's too slow. Do you know the way to City A?"
Borsalino spoke very calmly, and the next moment, amid Fubuki's screams, Borsalino jumped out of the window holding her, and ran towards City A at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour using the Moon Step in mid-air.
The strong wind was blocked by the external armed color domineering. After the initial shock, Fubuki quickly calmed down and began to give directions to Borsalino.
"Is this really okay? The straight-line distance is 127 kilometers. Can we just run there?"
Fubuki couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Even for an S-class hero, running for hundreds of kilometers while holding someone, and running in the air at such an astonishing speed, such physical exertion was too exaggerated.
"Don't be silly, I was just warming up, we need to speed up next~"
Borsalino stepped heavily on the air, kicked himself high enough from the ground, and raised his other foot high.
'boom! ’
An extremely terrifying air pressure fluctuation exploded instantly, and Borsalino's figure rushed forward like lightning, and his speed soared several times in an instant.
A violent sonic boom sounded in the sky. When people looked up at the sky, they could only see a white line rushing towards the direction of City A at an astonishing speed.
However, Borsalino did not continue to accelerate. It was not because he could only reach this speed, but because he was worried that Fubuki would not be able to bear it.
No matter how powerful a person with super powers is, his or her physical condition is still within the range of normal humans.
Measured by the values created by the S-class hero Child Emperor, Fubuki's physical strength is only 19. Even most C-class heroes are stronger than her. She is not much stronger than ordinary people. She is a typical fragile mage.
Borsalino was a little worried that Fubuki wouldn't be able to withstand the gravity at high speed, so he had to maintain the speed just around the speed of sound.
"So fast!"
Fubuki showed an expression of disbelief when she saw the sonic boom cloud. The speed of sound propagation in the air is about 340 meters per second. When the speed of an object exceeds the speed of sound, a sonic boom will occur.
In other words, at this moment Borsalino was running wildly in the air with her at a speed of over a thousand kilometers per hour, and from her perspective, Borsalino's expression clearly showed that he still had some room for improvement. Such physical fitness could only be described as terrifying.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you spread rumors, I will sue you for defamation. How can I be fast?"
Borsalino said jokingly, but Fubuki obviously didn't understand his deeper meaning, and the expression on her pretty face was a little confused.
Before Fubuki could figure out what Borsalino meant, her cell phone rang again.
"The headquarters' attempt to stop and lead away the monster has failed. The target is still moving towards the association headquarters! At the current speed of the target, it will come into direct contact with the headquarters in no more than three minutes!"
Just after taking a look, Fubuki couldn't help but exclaim again.
When a dragon-level disaster is confirmed, the Hero Association will inform all heroes of the progress of the disaster in real time. Of course, the subtext is actually to urge the heroes to act as soon as possible.
Although the headquarters of the Hero Association is a giant fortress standing on the earth, in the face of a dragon-level disaster, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will only take a little longer to dismantle.
Especially this time, the dragon-level disaster was obviously aimed at the headquarters of the Hero Association. No matter how the heroes sent by the association tried to block and guide it, the target was always moving towards the headquarters.
"Only three minutes left? If it goes faster, can you hold on?"
Borsalino looked at Fubuki in his arms. He himself could move at the speed of light, but he couldn't take Fubuki to City A in an instant, unless he wanted to take a pool of mosaic that was not even meat paste with him.
Fubuki, who was already having difficulty breathing, heard Borsalino was going to speed up, and her pretty face suddenly turned pale.
But considering the glory that joining the Fubuki Group would bring after Borsalino saved the Hero Association, he suddenly felt fearless.
"I can! Just speed up... ah!"
Fubuki hugged Borsalino tightly. Before she finished her words, Borsalino's speed suddenly increased, leaving only Fubuki's series of screams in the sky.
At the Hero Association's headquarters in City A, the association's staff was in chaos. At first, everyone was hoping for the best, thinking that the headquarters was far enough away from the disaster site and would not be easily affected.
By the time they realized that the target monster was heading for the association's headquarters, they had less than three minutes to react.
This short period of time is not even enough for the association’s top leaders to make a decision!
Some senior executives wanted to evacuate as quickly as possible, while others had inexplicable confidence in the headquarters' defenses and wanted to stay and hold out to the end.
Of course, there are even more guys who are at a loss like headless flies. After all, the Hero Association was established only a few years ago, and there are many useless trash among the so-called senior management.
If the heroes who are willing to stand up and fight against the monsters were not strong enough, the Hero Association would be defeated in a matter of minutes.
"Damn it! That guy is too strong, he's not on the same level as us!"
"We can't let him go any further! We must stop him! Everyone, come together!"
"Asshole! Fight with the weirdo!"
……
The heroes who arrived upon receiving the notification gathered themselves together and formed the last line of defense between the monsters and the headquarters, trying to stop the other side's advance.
"Bang... Boom... Boom... Boom..."
However, before the heroes could see the figure of that strange man, they saw a light bullet flying over from a distance, which hit the ground and exploded violently.
The explosion destroyed an entire city block in an instant!
Whether it was high-rise buildings or sturdy underground fortifications, they were all flattened by this force that was enough to destroy mountains and turned into a large ruin.
Soon, a figure with purple body and appearance very similar to Namek appeared in the ruins. It was the Dragon-level monster who was heading towards the headquarters of the Hero Association.
The headquarters of the Hero Association standing on the ground is already visible to the naked eye. The purple monster ignored the heroes buried in the ruins. The surging energy gathered from every part of his body to his hands, turning into a huge energy bomb.
"The target's energy index is increasing rapidly! 3600! 7200! 14400! High energy ahead! Alert! Alert!"
At the Hero Association headquarters, the piercing alarm sounded causing the staff to despair. Even those who were most confident in the headquarters' defenses did not think that the headquarters, built of reinforced concrete, could withstand an energy bomb with a power equivalent to millions of tons of explosives.
At the critical moment of life and death, even the top leaders of the association, who were fighting for power until the end of the world, looked in despair at the purple-skinned monster on the virtual screen who looked like he was holding up the sun.
"Disappear completely! You humans who are constantly polluting the earth's environment!"
The purple-skinned monster raised the energy bomb in his hand high!
He planned to first eliminate the Hero Association that was in the way, and then slowly eliminate all humans.
The few heroes who managed to poke their heads out of the ruins closed their eyes in pain, not wanting to see the association's headquarters being destroyed by monsters.
"Swoosh... bang!"
However, just when the purple-skinned monster was about to attack, a figure dropped from the sky and kicked it away, along with the high-energy energy bomb.
The purple-skinned monster who was kicked away by Borsalino flew hundreds of meters away in one breath, crashed through more than a dozen buildings before landing, leaving a deep groove on the ground.
'boom! ’
At the same time, the purple-skinned monster's energy bomb fell to the ground and exploded violently!
A huge mushroom cloud rose up, and the shock wave, carrying scorching flames, completely razed the nearby ruins to the ground!
By the time the explosion had completely subsided, a super-large crater with a diameter of over a hundred meters and an unfathomable depth had been blasted out where the energy bomb landed.
"It seems we have caught up. It looks like we are lucky..."
A slightly frivolous voice suddenly sounded, and a man in a suit and a white windbreaker with the word "Justice" written on it walked out from the smoke of the explosion.
What was even more unexpected was that in his arms was a woman in an evening gown who looked a little frightened.
"What happened? Did the reinforcements finally arrive?! Which S-class hero?"
"Wait! Zoom in on the image! Yes! Freeze it here! It's that woman!"
"It's the number one B-class Hell Blizzard! How could it be her? Who is the man holding her?"...
At the association's headquarters, the staff had no time to celebrate their escape before they began to get busy under the urging of the top management.
Although they seemed powerless in the face of dragon-level disasters, the Hero Association is not entirely helpless.
A big part of their job is to provide all kinds of intelligence to the heroes, so when the surveillance footage captured Fubuki's appearance, a staff member recognized her immediately.
"He looks like one of ours? Go check the association's hero list right away. I want to know the man's identity as soon as possible!"
The top executives at the headquarters also breathed a sigh of relief and secretly made up their minds to attract more S-class heroes and have them move to the vicinity of the headquarters or simply live in the headquarters.
In order to avoid this predicament from happening again, at the critical moment the headquarters did not even have an S-level hero.
On the other side... Fubuki, who was brought here by Borsalino at a speed of nearly Mach 3, was still a little weak on her legs, and could only barely stand with the help of Borsalino.
"Are you okay?"
Borsalino asked with a bit of amusement, Fubuki's physique was still too weak, even worse than Nami's.
I have to persuade Fubuki to exercise more in the future, otherwise, let alone fighting, even doing other things will be difficult.
"I... I'm fine! You have to be careful, dragon-level disasters are not that easy to solve!"
Fubuki is still a little frightened!
However, she was very clear about how terrifying Dragon-level monsters were, and as soon as she came to her senses, she immediately reminded Borsalino.
'boom! ’
Before Borsalino could open his mouth, the purple-skinned monster that had just been kicked away rushed back at an astonishing speed.
"be careful!"
Qing Yan, who was ranked 6th in Class A, shouted loudly!
He thought he was not much worse than an S-class hero, but in front of that purple-skinned monster he was not even qualified to get close to him.
Although Borsalino kicked the purple-skinned monster away when he first appeared, Qingyan still felt worried for Borsalino from the bottom of his heart when facing the counterattack of the purple-skinned monster.
"Ok?"
Borsalino raised his eyelids slightly, without even turning his head to look at the purple-skinned monster, he just slapped him casually.
Relying on his super-strong observation Haki, Borsalino, who was the first to attack, predicted the movements and reactions of the purple-skinned monster. From a distance, it looked like the purple-skinned monster himself put his face under Borsalino's slap.
'Snapped! '
The extremely powerful slap made the purple-skinned monster fly out like a top and fall heavily to the ground.
The monster's head was slapped dozens of times by the slap, and its neck was twisted like a pretzel, but it still did not die.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This is unforgivable! How dare a mere human humiliate me like this!"
The purple-skinned monster took a long time to come back to its senses after being stunned. Its anger almost made it lose its mind!
He roared at Borsalino.
Even though he had suffered such a serious injury, the purple-skinned monster was like an indestructible cockroach. He turned his head dozens of times and appeared to be unharmed again.
"Tsk, it's still a lot worse than that bald guy. Should I try that kind of exercise too?"
Borsalino glanced at his right hand with some dissatisfaction.
Although I have long known that bald men are unreasonably strong, it was only after I had a clear reference that I realized how brutal they are.
The purple-skinned monster or the Vaccine Man is far inferior to the Four Emperors' admirals, but he is also ranked among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Probably the only one who can defeat him, and the rest are only Hancock and Doflamingo.
If Borsalino gets serious, he should be able to kill the Vaccine Man in seconds, but compared to a bald guy who beat the Vaccine Man to pieces with just one punch, the gap is still obvious.
"Asshole! I am the Vaccine Man who was born to destroy humanity! Humans are just pathogens that destroy life on Earth! How dare you ignore me!"
The purple-skinned monster, or vaccine man, who was ignored, became furious. Endless energy surged from his body, and the shrill high-energy alarm sounded again at the Hero Association headquarters.
Vaccine Man’s combat power may not be as good as the top warriors in the pirate world, but the energy in him is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the top warriors.
The energy that erupted from his anger was so great that even Borsalino couldn't help but look sideways.
"With so much energy, I don't know if the monsters are considered human beings. If I could bring them back and let Vegapunk transform them, wouldn't it be great to use them as batteries?"
Borsalino stroked his chin and thought about it. There are many kinds of energy in the pirate world, even Coke can be used as fuel.
However, compared with the energy that the vaccine man has unleashed at this moment, a mere can of Coke is naturally not worth mentioning.
Even the energy device developed by Vegapunk to drive the Pacifists is far inferior to that of Vaccine Man.
"Humans! Accept the wrath of the Earth! Earth Purifying Cannon!"
Vaccine Man didn't expect that even though he had unleashed such tremendous energy, Borsalino still ignored him.
In his anger, Vaccine Man didn't care that his original goal was to destroy the headquarters of the Hero Association. After all, without getting rid of this hateful guy, there was no way to eliminate all human beings.
The endless energy was compressed to the extreme by the Vaccine Man, and then suddenly exploded towards Borsalino.
Vaccine Man may not be what he claims to be, a messenger created by the Earth to destroy humanity, but this guy's strength is real.
Even if the retired former admiral Zephyr is included, there are no more than ten people in the navy who can defeat Vaccine Man, and the number of people who can defeat him without any injury can be counted on one hand.
Plus the monster itself has super vitality and endurance.
Admiral candidates like Gion and Kake have a high chance of failing if they fight a life-and-death battle without knowing the information about the monsters.
"The ultimate flash!"
Borsalino raised his right hand, pointed a finger at the Vaccine Man, and shouted softly.
Light!
Endless light!
The endless light made the sky and the earth seem to have lost their color!
As the light gradually dimmed, a shocking scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes. A circular passage with a diameter of several meters passed through the ruins and most of the city, and even the mountains that were vaguely visible on the edge of the city were pierced through.
The passage extended to the end of the sky, and one could not even tell with the naked eye how far Borsalino's attack had reached.
Even someone as strong as the Vaccine Man was reduced to ashes by this blow, not even a trace of him was left.
"Wow...what a cool move. You seem very strong..."
While everyone else was still immersed in shock, a bald man in a khaki uniform and a white cloak appeared out of nowhere, staring at Borsalino with his two dead fish eyes with a hint of curiosity.
Saitama, who did not join the Hero Association, rushed here from City Z after watching the news on TV.
But when he arrived in City A, he found that the weirdo who was said to be very powerful had been killed by a very tall guy.
If that were all, Saitama wouldn't take it to heart. Killing a monster with one blow was common to him. The key point was that when he saw Borsalino, he actually had a feeling that 'this guy can definitely withstand my punch'.
For Saitama, who has gradually lost his emotions, what he longs for is a battle that can make his blood boil.
However, Saitama's strength is too strong, so strong that it is unreasonable, just like boxing champion Tyson breaking into a kindergarten. Even a dragon-level monster can't withstand his punch.
As a result, he now found a guy who seemed to be able to fight with him, and Saitama began to feel eager to try.
"Thank you for the compliment. You are also very strong..."
Borsalino was also looking at the bald man in front of him. His observation Haki was giving a crazy warning, reminding him how dangerous this seemingly ordinary and old-fashioned bald man was.
Although he is not a fatal threat, this guy is probably the strongest person he has ever met!
If a real fight came to pass, Borsalino might be able to fight him at the speed of light, but he would most likely be defeated in the end.
After all, the bald guy can make countless mistakes, but if he makes just one mistake he will be beaten into a pig's head.
"Then do you want to give it a try?"
The bald man spoke with shining eyes.
Because Borsalino didn't look like a monster, Saitama didn't want to hit him just because of a disagreement. Saitama thought that Borsalino was so powerful that he should be worried about not being able to find a suitable opponent.
He should hold back his strength while waiting for the fight to start, and maybe they can have a good fight!
"No need. I'm not interested in fighting you for now."
Borsalino rejected Saitama's proposal without hesitation, and he would also enjoy fighting if there was a possibility of defeating his opponent.
With an extraordinary existence like Saitama, even if Borsalino fights to the death, the probability of his victory will be in single digits at most. Fighting with him is just asking for trouble.
Even if he really wants to challenge Saitama, Borsalino can just wait for a few more years. With the speed at which his strength is improving, he will be qualified to fight Saitama head-on in two or three years at most.
"Well, okay, when you are interested, you must come to me..."
The bald guy felt very sorry. He finally met a guy who could fight with him, but he didn't want to fight him at all.
"it is good."
Borsalino spoke briefly and then watched Saitama leave, looking back every few steps.
obviously……
Out of interest, Saitama had no intention of dealing with the Hero Association. Of course, this was mainly because Saitama didn't know that the Hero Association would provide subsidies to the heroes.
It was a long time after Saitama left that Fubuki came to her senses and walked over cautiously, her beautiful eyes full of awe.
The attack just now almost pierced through the sky, and the energy level detected by the Hero Association headquarters was as high as an unprecedented 99999+, which was several levels higher than the maximum output of the fortress main gun developed by Metal Knight.
Moreover, the attack distance is extremely terrifying. Even without considering the power of this attack, the range alone exceeds the highest record set by the association so far, which was created by Dr. Bofoy, the 6th-ranked Metal Knight in S-class.
"Who was that person just now?"
After witnessing Borsalino's strength with her own eyes, Fubuki didn't know how to start the conversation, so she could only pretend to be calm and ask.
"He's a very troublesome guy, troublesome in every sense of the word."
Borsalino curled his lips and said that he didn't want to deal with this guy at least until he could fight Saitama head on.
At this moment, Borsalino seemed to understand how those guys who called him a "naval monster" felt when facing him.
Before Fubuki could speak, her cell phone rang rapidly. This time it was a call directly from a senior member of the Hero Association headquarters.
"Um...are you willing to join the Hero Association...and the Fubuki Group?"
Fubuki looked at her phone with some confusion, and hesitated before answering the call, but she still couldn't help but ask Borsalino.
Originally, I wanted to slowly win over Borsalino, and then invite him to join the Fubuki Group when the time was right.
But now we have no choice but to invite Borsalino.
"The Hero Association is fine, but I'll think about the Fubuki Group."
Borsalino raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not reject the Hero Association. Although the Hero Association in the One Punch World had many shortcomings, it was much stronger than the World Government. At least the original intention of establishing the Hero Association was to protect the people.
Of course, part of the reason is that the gap in strength between the two is too big.
If the Hero Association were as large as the World Government, it might become even worse than the World Government.
But at least for now, joining the Hero Association is still a good choice, especially since he has already had a good start.
Borsalino's choice did not surprise Fubuki. If she hadn't known that Borsalino was from another world, she would not have humiliated herself by inviting an S-class hero to join the B-class hero faction.
"Then remember to think carefully about it."
Fubuki spoke a little depressed, and then answered the call from the Hero Association headquarters.
"Ms. Fubuki, do you know the gentleman next to you?"
The call has just been connected.
The top executives of the Hero Association on the other side couldn't wait to speak.
They had searched all the registered heroes' catalogs and found no record that matched Borsalino's image.
In other words, Borsalino, who solved the dragon-level disaster alone this time, is an "ordinary person" who has not yet joined the Hero Association.
