Chapter 125 The S-class baseball bats are coming one after another!
"Go back three seconds to the previous scene."
Boros was obviously aware of how much trouble the order he issued in the heat of the moment had caused his men.
However, as the overlord of the universe, he did not need to and was too lazy to explain to his subordinates, and simply gave the order.
Hearing the 'electronic voice' of the command, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Boros's order to rewind the image displayed on the virtual screen.
Soon Borsalino's figure appeared on the screen. Coincidentally, the reconnaissance plane captured the scene of Borsalino looking up at the sky, and Boros's huge single eye happened to meet Borsalino's line of sight.
Even through a screen, he could sense a vague sense of threat from Borsalino.
This is the person!
The person who is predicted to have a hearty battle with him!
At this moment, Boros no longer cared about any bullshit prophecy. All he was looking for was a strong enough opponent, and it just so happened that Borsalino, this strong enemy, appeared in front of Boros at the critical moment.
At this time, even if the fortune teller who made the prophecy jumped out and pointed at Borsalino and said that the warrior in the prophecy was not him, Boros would not believe it.
After all, the last person who could bring him this sense of threat was before the establishment of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, so long ago that even his memory of it began to blur.
"Speed up! I want to see this warrior as soon as possible!"
Boros could hardly contain his excitement and at one point he couldn't help but stand up from the throne.
Before receiving the fortune teller's prophecy, he had dominated the universe for countless years. Boros's feelings of invincible loneliness were similar to Saitama's, and would only be more profound than his.
This is also the reason why Boros spent twenty years and traveled an extremely long distance to find the Earth just to get a prophecy.
"Yes! Lord Poros!"
'Electronic Voice' secretly groaned. The space jump device had just completed a jump, and it would take at least several days to cool down. Even though the mothership used the most advanced technology, twenty years of continuous high-intensity voyages had pushed the various devices on the ship to the brink of their limits.
But Lord Boros's orders were absolutely not to be refused, so the "electronic voice" had no choice but to bite the bullet and convey Boros's orders.
The mothership, which was originally sailing at a normal speed in outer space, began to speed up at Boros's command, entering the solar system and sailing rapidly towards the earth.
On the other side, after confirming that Boros was about to arrive, Borsalino did not make any special response.
He even had time to take the two sisters shopping, and then followed Fubuki to see Tornado's residence.
The apartment where Tornado, who has a very strong personality and style, lives is also in line with her style of painting. All the decorations are simple and elegant. Unfortunately, the pink bedroom full of fantasy atmosphere still exposes her true preferences.
"Asshole! Who told you to look here?"
Tornado pushed Borsalino out of the bedroom in embarrassment and annoyance. Unfortunately, without using her superpowers, she was even weaker than Fubuki. Borsalino, who was laughing, carried her into the bedroom with one hand and pulled Fubuki in as well.
What happened afterwards is indescribable. I only know that the clothes I bought while shopping yesterday came in handy.
"Where are we going to play today?"
He was clearly begging for mercy yesterday, but after a good night's sleep, Tornado was back to his usual arrogant attitude.
Looking at her energetic appearance, Borsalino had the illusion that he was being raped.
Then he couldn't help but sigh that people's ability to adapt is really strong. Tornado, who was clearly a rookie before, seemed to be able to take the initiative after just a few days.
In addition, Fubuki's "fighting ability" is also quite good. If Borsalino's kidneys were not harder than iron, he might not be a match for the two sisters.
But if you think about it carefully, leaving aside Fubuki, Tornado is also a mature woman of 28 years old, and she really cannot be compared with a girl like Nami.
"Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Borsalino leaned back in the oversized sofa chair, his eyes fixed on the small vest and hot pants that Tornado had just put on.
Although Tornado looks petite, everything she likes is oversized without exception, even the big pink bed is large enough for Borsalino to lie down easily.
"Then let's go to the amusement park. I heard it's much more fun now that it's been rebuilt."
Tornado felt Borsalino's gaze, but instead of feeling shy, she straightened her chest.
It's a pity that she is a rich lady with a breast breast at such a young age, and you can't tell the difference at all.
"Has the reconstruction been completed? Let's go and take a look."
Fubuki, who was wearing the same vest and hot pants as Tornado, walked out of the room. However, compared to Tornado's "cliff-like" figure, Fubuki, with her good figure, was really eye-catching in this figure-revealing outfit.
"Amusement park? Let's go check it out."
Borsalino subconsciously thought of the amusement park in the Sabaody Archipelago, but he didn't know if he could enjoy the amusement park facilities in One Punch World.
Although the three-meter height of the "General" is very useful in battle, it is still a bit inconvenient in daily life.
It turned out that Borsalino's worries were unnecessary, as he was able to use most of the facilities in the amusement park normally.
On the contrary, because of her height, Tornado was mistaken for a child several times, which made her so angry that she almost used her superpowers to let those idiots experience free fall.
"By the way, why does this place look familiar?"
Borsalino looked around the amusement park and felt as if he had been here before.
"Because it was Vaccine Man who destroyed the amusement park before. Look, that's the Hero Association headquarters over there. That's where you destroyed Vaccine Man. The 'passage' you created has now been built into a main road..."
Fubuki pointed to the north of the amusement park and began to explain. Following the direction of her finger, one could vaguely see the Hero Association headquarters, which looked like a fortress.
There were also faint traces of the passage that Borsalino had penetrated. Seeing this, Borsalino couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise.
"Is the reconstruction so fast? It hasn't been long since I killed that 'Namekian', right?"
Borsalino felt a little bit unbelievable, for it was then that he realized... the entire city of A had not only been restored to its original state, but had also been rebuilt to a great extent, compared to the near ruins when he came last time.
Such a speed would probably scare the workers who are rebuilding the Navy Headquarters. You have to know that the reconstruction work of the headquarters is not much larger than the scale of this amusement park, not to mention the project of half of City A.
If Borsalino knew that it was impossible to bring humans to other worlds, he would really want to hire a group of workers to go back.
"Very fast? Not bad. If the construction team from the association's headquarters were to do the work, it would probably be much faster."
Tornado didn't understand why Borsalino was so surprised. In her opinion, such a reconstruction speed was normal. Not to mention Dragon-level monsters, even Demon-level monsters could easily demolish a building. If the construction speed of the One Punch World was not fast enough, it would not be able to keep up with the speed of those monsters who were comparable to the demolition office in demolishing houses.
Just as Borsalino was secretly complaining about this cheating behavior, the cell phones of Tornado and Fubuki rang at the same time.
"Hmm? An emergency call for S-ranks?"
Tornado opened his phone and took a look, then he couldn't help but frowned.
She was still thinking about continuing her trip with Borsalino and Fubuki, so why did they call her up at this time?
However, Tornado immediately realized that Borsalino was also S-level and should have received an emergency summons as well.
"This is an emergency call from the association's headquarters, requiring all S-class heroes to rush to the headquarters as soon as possible."
Fubuki looked up and said to Borsalino. Because he disliked the trouble of carrying this thing, Borsalino directly transferred all his contact information to Fubuki's mobile phone. Anyway, he was always with Fubuki, so it would be the same if he found Fubuki if there was anything.
Fubuki, who is keen on increasing the influence of the Fubuki Group, is also happy to deal with the headquarters on behalf of Borsalino.
"Maybe they're discussing the end of the world or something like that. We have nothing else to do anyway, so let's go take a look."
Borsalino shrugged; it just so happened that he wasn't too keen on the amusement park.
With his current level of strength, even with pure physical ability, Borsalino can easily reach a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound. Rides like roller coasters are not as fast as him, and he feels no emotion at all when sitting on them the entire time.
"Silver Fang and Atomic Samurai have arrived in City A."
"...As expected of the mainstay of the Hero Association..."
"The metal bat is on its way..."
"...Drive Knight is still..."
"Child Emperor is asking for leave from school..."
……
At the Hero Association headquarters, a dozen staff members at the reception desk are busy working.
Although they had no status in the association most of the time, at this moment the attention of the entire association was almost focused on the reception desk, and even the senior staff members became nervous unconsciously.
At this moment, Borsalino, Tornado and Blizzard also entered the Hero Association headquarters.
"It's Speed Flash! And Thrilling Tornado! Go and inform Mr. William!"
The moment they saw Borsalino, all the staff present seemed to be frightened. As the experience of William, a senior executive in J City, gradually spread in recent days, Borsalino's reputation in the Hero Association headquarters has tended to be demonized.
Especially since some people intentionally or unintentionally spread the announcement that Speed Flash was preparing to kill Metal Knight, these ordinary staff members were extremely terrified when facing Borsalino.
"It's quite lively...but we seem to be the first ones here."
Borsalino spoke with some surprise. He, Tornado and Fubuki did not deliberately speed up.
I thought someone should have arrived first when I came here, but it seems like I’m still the first one?
"Except for Child Emperor who goes to school in City A, and Metal Bat who lives in City A, the rest of the S-class have to come from other cities, so it definitely won't be that fast."
Tornado explained casually that as the second in S-rank, Tornado had a very high authority in the Hero Association, and in a sense was even considered half of her "own people" by the association's top brass.
However, because she was too close to Borsalino, her original position was somewhat precarious. This could be seen from the fact that when the association issued an emergency call, there was not even a dedicated person to contact her.
It is completely the treatment of an ordinary S-class hero. Of course, Tornado doesn't care about this at all. The reason why she chose to become a hero is purely because she wants to. Even if there is no Hero Association, she will still go and destroy monsters.
"It seems like there is someone who arrived earlier than us..."
As soon as Borsalino finished speaking, a lifeless man in a windbreaker walked out of the association's headquarters.
"Trembling Tornado and... Speed Flash, the main force has finally arrived. I can't handle this kind of situation alone..."
The man in the windbreaker said something as if he was relieved, but the expression on his face didn't change at all, making people feel as if he was speaking in a sarcastic way.
"Tsk, this guy is the 8th ranked S-rank zombie man. He's very weak, but he can be of some use when needed."
Tornado looked at the zombie man with some disdain and took the initiative to introduce the identity of the visitor to Borsalino.
Clearly, these words were somewhat provocative.
But the zombie man did not show any dissatisfaction, instead he showed a little surprise.
In his impression, Tornado has always been so high and mighty, but now he actually takes the initiative to introduce his identity to Speed Flash. What is the relationship between the two of them?
"Uh, I'm Speed Flash, or you can just call me Borsalino. I'll just call you by your hero code name?"
Borsalino is quite friendly to most of the heroes except Saitama. Even though the zombie man no longer looks like a living person, Borsalino still takes the initiative to extend his hand to him.
"It's up to you, or you can call me dead."
The zombie man forced a smile, shook hands with Borsalino, and even made a little joke.
Although Zombieman is used to being a lone traveler most of the time, this big scene of summoning all the S-class heroes is obviously not something that one or two S-class heroes can handle.
Zombieman, who only wants to protect others, has no choice but to cooperate. Borsalino, who can make Terrifying Tornado speak properly, is obviously the best partner in Zombieman's eyes.
Her own strength is strong enough, and she can also restrict the Thrilling Tornado from doing anything wrong. These two things make Zombie Man very satisfied.
"I don't need these trash at all..."
Tornado was muttering softly to the side. Fortunately, the zombie man already knew Tornado's character and didn't care that he was treated as a small fry by the other party.
"elder sister……"
Fubuki secretly pulled down Tornado's clothes. Even if Tornado was not afraid, there was no need to offend others like this. Not long after Borsalino arrived, Child Emperor, carrying a schoolbag, landed outside the gate of the Hero Association headquarters on a flying skateboard.
This image gave Borsalino an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. If it weren't for the fact that Child Emperor's head was not big enough, it would really look like the elementary school student from Death next door who had walked into the wrong set.
Although he is the 5th S-class hero, Child Emperor, who has a candy bar in his mouth, is probably the S-class hero who looks the least like an S-class hero.
"Hey, Terrifying Tornado and Speed Flash? Nice to meet you. I'm Child Emperor. I heard that you said you wanted to kill Metal Knight?"
Child Emperor, who was a little shorter than Tornado, jumped off the skateboard, raised his head curiously, and looked at Borsalino, who was more than twice as tall as him.
It was the first time he had seen someone so tall. However, compared to the fat Pig God and the "non-human" Superalloy Darkshine whose muscles were harder than steel, Borsalino, who at least had a handsome face, looked more normal.
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
Borsalino spoke very naturally, if we talk about anyone in the One Punch Man world who can compete with Saitama in terms of outrageousness, it is probably only Child Emperor, who can be said to be a cheat.
Although he is still an elementary school student, he possesses a physique that surpasses many A-class heroes. What is even more unreasonable is his genius brain. He became Metal Knight's assistant at a young age, and then defeated countless monsters with his own inventions, becoming an S-class hero ranked above Metal Knight.
"No! What I want to say is...Keep up! And be careful of that damn old man's schemes!"
Child Emperor didn't care at all that he used to be Metal Knight's assistant. He just wanted Borsalino to deal with that stubborn old man.
However, Child Emperor is not optimistic that Borsalino can defeat Metal Knight. The old man is hiding too deeply, and even he, his former assistant, does not know Metal Knight better than others.
"you do not mind?"
Borsalino looked at Child Emperor with some surprise. When Child Emperor arrived, Fubuki told him that Child Emperor used to be Metal Knight's assistant.
Originally, Borsalino was thinking about whether he should "kick the North Sea Kindergarten" today, but he didn't expect that Child Emperor would actually support him in causing trouble for Metal Knight.
"That old guy is not a good guy. When you kill him, remember to help me punch him hard too!"
Child Emperor explained succinctly that his idol was Blast, who was ranked No. 1 in S-Class. However, after showing his talent, he was tricked by Metal Knight Dr. Povoy into working as his assistant.
When he realized the true face of Metal Knight, he chose to leave Metal Knight and join the Hero Association without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll help you punch him hard."
Borsalino agreed without much thought.
Perhaps he had already begun to adapt to the identity of the Navy Admiral in advance. Every time he saw these talented heroes, he couldn't help but feel the urge to bring them back to the Navy Headquarters.
Especially for someone like Child Emperor who is a genius among geniuses both in body and brain. If he were handed over to Zephyr, after training for ten years or so, he would become the next candidate for admiral, and there is even a possibility that he would replace Vegapunk.
But then I thought about it...
If he could take people across the world at will, it’s hard to say whether he would be satisfied with just bringing back a few geniuses.
Even as a navy who bears the name of justice, Borsalino cannot guarantee that when faced with a world that may belong to him completely, he will not have the idea of taking it for himself.
"Then it's a deal, it's a hard punch!"
No one knew how Metal Knight had offended him, but Child Emperor waved his fists hard in front of Borsalino, as if he was treating the air in front of him as Metal Knight's face.
"rest assured."
Borsalino doubted whether Metal Knight's body could withstand his punches.
However, he had already promised Child Emperor and was not going to go back on his word, so he could only pray silently for Metal Knight in his heart and observe a second of silence in advance.
"Huh? It seems like someone else is here..."
Child Emperor was about to say something, but at this moment he saw a familiar figure appear outside the gate of the Hero Association headquarters out of the corner of his eye.
"Tsk, there are actually people who came earlier than me!"
Soon, a young man who looked like a hot-blooded high school gangster appeared in front of them. He was casually wearing a school uniform and carrying his iconic weapon on his shoulders. It was the 16th-ranked metal baseball bat in S-class.
It’s worth mentioning that… Metal Bat was ranked 223rd in C-Class when he first debuted. He was promoted from C-Class all the way to S-Class, and he is considered a very inspirational example.
"This guy is Metal Bat, a one-track-minded, hot-blooded idiot."
Tornado glanced at the person who came and whispered in Borsalino's ear.
Child Emperor, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw the intimacy between Tornado and Borsalino. He then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The trembling Tornado, who could be described as unruly, willful, arrogant and overbearing, actually had such a 'gentle' side.
"Hey! You're the Speed Flash, right?"
Before Borsalino could speak, the originally nonchalant Metal Bat's eyes suddenly became sharp after noticing his presence, and the bat in his hand was pointed at Borsalino without any hesitation.
This somewhat hostile action made Borsalino raise his eyebrows slightly, but before he could open his mouth, Tornado could no longer hold back and stood in front of him.
Whether in terms of height or appearance, Tornado seems to have no deterrent effect in front of the metal baseball bat, but Tornado's aura is far more flamboyant than that of the metal baseball bat.
"Why? Do you have any problem with him?"
Tornado asked aggressively, as if he was ready to start a fight if they disagreed.
Even though Tornado was repeatedly defeated by Borsalino, in the end, both her body and her sister fell into Borsalino's hands.
But that was purely because Borsalino was too strong, and with the help of the competent "inside ghost" Fubuki, he was able to drag Tornado into the water.
The real Tornado is the second highest S-class player, the ultimate weapon of the Hero Association, and the absolute trump card who has destroyed countless monsters single-handedly!
Not to mention an S-class hero like Metal Bat who is ranked low, even Child Emperor couldn't help but twitch his mouth and unconsciously took half a step back.
He still underestimated the relationship between Terrifying Tornado and Speed Flash. Fortunately, he fully supported Borsalino's plan to deal with Metal Knight, otherwise he would have been taught a lesson by the mixed doubles.
The combination of two S-class heroes is simply too shameless. Even though Child Emperor has very little information about Borsalino, he only knows that he is a "superpower" with extremely fast speed and can fire "light cannon" with his bare hands.
But when Speedy Flash and Terrifying Tornado teamed up, Child Emperor tried to use the small computer in his backpack to simulate the battle, and he lost a hundred times out of a hundred simulated battles.
Even when teaming up with Metal Bat and Zombie Man, the winning rate would not exceed 13 percent.
Of course, this is mainly because Zombieman's abilities are too badly suppressed by these two "superpowered people". If it were Silver Fang or Atomic Samurai, his winning rate should be greatly improved.
However, this is enough to show how terrifying Speed Flash and Terrifying Tornado are. If Child Emperor was Metal Bat, he would definitely choose to give in immediately.
"Of course! How can he climb over my head!"
However, Metal Bat had no intention of backing down. Compared to other S-class heroes who were famous for their strength or skills, Metal Bat's biggest characteristic was his stubbornness, or his single-mindedness.
He will never back down from anything he has decided on, including when fighting against monsters. Even if he is facing a monster that is much stronger than him, Metal Bat will fight to the death.
Unless he could kill Metal Bat instantly in one breath, this guy would rely on his 'nature' that gets stronger with each fight, and would grind down enemies who were originally stronger than him.
"I rank much higher than you, and you have a problem with me?"
Relying on her ability to float, Tornado looked down at the metal baseball bat from a high vantage point, and spoke with an air of arrogance.
In fact, this is the normal state of Thrilling Tornado. Expecting her to behave the same in front of others as she did when facing Borsalino is really thinking too much.
"Asshole! That guy only defeated a weirdo, it's nothing like you!"
Metal Bat shouted in a timid tone.
Although he was known for his stubbornness, he still felt a little nervous when facing Tornado, the second-ranked S-class warrior.
But if it were any other S-class hero, they would not continue to cause trouble for Borsalino even for the sake of Thrilling Tornado. This shows how serious Metal Bat's stubbornness is.
"Hmm... a very strong physique..."
Borsalino, however, didn't care about Metal Bat's slight "offense" at all, and was still releasing his Observation Haki with interest, assessing Metal Bat's physical strength.
Apart from people with super powers like Tornado and Blizzard, most heroes are actually standard "physical" ones. In other words, they will be able to adapt quite well to the world of pirates.
Take Metal Bat for example. Even though he can only swing the bat, if he learns the Armament Haki or even the three colors of Haki, he would be a youth-bankrupt version of Kaido, the King of Beasts.
"Ah, young people are really energetic, but can you please give me, an old man, some face and stop arguing for a while?"
Just when Metal Bat and Tornado were arguing fiercely and even starting to feel tense, an old man with white hair and a hunched back walked over. When he opened his mouth, Borsalino almost thought that Shanks had traveled through time.
Although he doesn't have Shanks' "Face Fruit", the old man's face is still pretty useful.
Even though Tornado was still a little bit relentless, Metal Bat didn't give in.
"I'll settle accounts with that guy after we get through this crisis!"
Metal Bat swung his bat in annoyance, which sounded a bit like he was threatening, but anyone who was familiar with Metal Bat knew that he was really capable of doing such a thing afterwards.
"This is Silver Fang Bang, the third-ranked S-ranker. He is a very powerful martial artist, and his specialty is the Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist..."
Because Tornado is still arguing with Metal Bat, the task of introducing the person to Borsalino can only be done by Fubuki.
Compared to Tornado's simple and rough introduction, Fubuki's is obviously much more careful, and it's obvious that she has done a lot of homework in advance.
"This must be Speed Flash... Hmm, he's incredible. No wonder Miss Tornado fell in love with him..."
Bang quickly followed behind Tornado. Just like Child Emperor, Silver Fang quickly determined that the key to overcoming this crisis was on Borsalino.
It’s not because he can sense Borsalino’s true strength, but because the other party can restrain Tornado to a certain extent, and that alone is enough.
A Thrilling Tornado that can go all out is enough to sweep away most powerful enemies and is definitely the main force to deal with this major crisis.
However, Bang would not underestimate Borsalino because of this. After all, with Tornado's vision, most of the people she likes are probably not weak, and at least worthy of the 9th place in S-class.
"hello."
Borsalino greeted with a smile.
If it was when he had just traveled through time, he would have had some ideas about Bang's Flowing Water and Rock-Breaking Fist.
But now, Bang's boxing skills are probably not even qualified to add icing on the cake for him. Borsalino is willing to take the initiative to say hello, probably because of the character of Silver Fang Bang.
"I'm Bang, Master Speed Flash. I heard that there was a little conflict between you and Metal Knight..."
Bang did not expect Borsalino's attitude to be so peaceful. He originally thought that anyone favored by Tornado would probably be an arrogant person. But after meeting him, he turned out to be polite, but at least he was a "normal person".
Yes, any normal person who came would make Bang very surprised. After all, there were too many "problem children" among S-class heroes, and there were very few normal people.
"Well, it was just some minor matters. As long as the rat gives an explanation, it will be fine. But he actually dared to send a robot to attack me, so he can expect to die as an apology."
Borsalino didn't even wait for Bang to speak up, and directly "sentenced" Metal Knight to death.
When he was in the pirate world, he had to take old man Kong's position into consideration, and did not pursue those senior naval officers who had disgusted him too much. He simply caused more than half of the senior naval officers who had provoked him to encounter various "accidents" afterwards.
Including but not limited to pirate attacks, sea king attacks, tsunami attacks, storm attacks...
As for why a high-ranking naval officer who was once a vice admiral of the headquarters would be hacked to death by a pirate whose bounty was no more than one million berries, it certainly had nothing to do with Borsalino.
If it were in the One Punch Man world, and now that his strength is countless times stronger than before, all Borsalino has to do is let his thoughts flow.
If he wanted to kill Metal Knight, he had to be killed. If he hadn't wanted Metal Knight to expose more of his lairs, Borsalino would have come to his door by now.
