Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 696 Captain America VS Wasp

Steve Rogers and Hope stepped into the ring and stood on either side, looking at their respective opponents.

At this moment, the martial arts tournament host announced:

"Game start!"

Steve Rogers looked at Hope and said:
"No matter what your goal is, I will not give up, and I will do my best in this game."

After speaking, Steve Rogers placed the shield behind him and assumed a defensive stance.

Hope spoke after hearing Steve's words:
"I also have my reasons for not giving up. I'm sorry, Captain!"

After speaking, Hope closed her mask and charged directly at Steve Rogers, the wings on her suit flapping to increase her speed.

In the blink of an eye, Hope was in front of Steve Rogers.

Hope immediately launched a combination of straight punches and backfists, his speed and the force of his punches were like a tiger's wind.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Hope's attacks were by no means weak. Having also been injected with the Super Soldier Serum, her strength was in no way inferior to Steve Rogers. The only thing she lacked was combat experience, which was something a chairperson who had spent most of her time sitting in an office could not catch up to simply by injecting the Super Soldier Serum.

Steve Rogers reacted just as quickly, deflecting all of Hope's punches with both hands.

"bump!"

"bump!"

"bump!"

Seeing that his punches were blocked, Hope immediately followed up with a high left roundhouse kick with a high right sweeping kick, the movement was very sharp and fast.

"Swish!"

Steve first blocked the left high kick, then bent down to dodge Hope's right high sweep kick, and the two switched positions at the same time.

In just three seconds, Hope still managed to launch several attacks, but Steve blocked and dodged both of his leg attacks.

The fierce fight between the two amazed the audience both in the venue and watching on television. Compared to attacks that were too fast to be seen with the naked eye and illusions that were imperceptible, this simple combat made everyone see it clearly.

During the qualifiers, Hope relied on the boost from the Super Soldier Serum to defeat her opponents with high attack speed and powerful strength.

However, when facing Steve Rogers, it seemed that every move he made was detected by the other party, and his ordinary fighting skills were completely at a disadvantage, which made Hope feel uncertain.

Although the Wasp suit can shrink her body, she still needs the right opportunity to use it to kill the enemy in one move.

Steve Rogers was on guard against Hope's sudden shrinking. Although he had extremely rich combat experience and could predict Hope's attack route by looking at her moves, he needed to be extremely careful with the shrunken Wasp. He didn't want to lose this match.

After that three-second exchange, both Hope and Steve entered a cautious probing phase.

Hope feinted with a kick, but Steve Rogers dodged it with a backward slide.

Steve Rogers immediately launched a side kick, and Hope immediately grabbed his left leg, trying to shrink her body to deliver a big blow to Steve.

However, before she could press the shrink button, Steve Rogers turned around and delivered a chop to Hope's neck.

"Shh!"

Hope had no choice but to release Steve Rogers's thigh and lean back.

Seeing this, Steve Rogers pressed his advantage, immediately following up with a backstab to the chest and a back kick, sending Hope airborne and delivering a slam.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Just as Hope was about to be slammed onto the ring, she pressed the shrink button at the last second.

She transformed into the Wasp the moment she fell, grabbing Steve Rogers' arm and twisting it in the opposite direction.

At that moment, a tremendous force came from his arm, and even Steve Rogers was forced to twist his arm behind his back.

Just then, Steve Rogers immediately activated the device on his wrist, unleashing an electromagnetic pulse that sent the Wasp flying.

"Sizzle! Bang!"

These wrist guards were a gift from Jessica Jones, intended as a tool to protect against Ant-Man and the Wasp. Unexpectedly, they actually came in handy in the ring.

Hope, who had been knocked away, regained her footing in mid-air, her expression extremely serious.

Steve Rogers' combat experience was too extensive, and he was at a complete disadvantage in close combat.

Hope immediately flew in an S-shaped trajectory toward Steve Rogers.

The next second, Steve Rogers was seen wearing the third-generation combat capability detector and using the target acquisition function to keep a constant lock on the flying Hope.

With Hope's shrunk size and her rapid flight and running abilities, locking onto her with the naked eye was quite troublesome. Steve Rogers' solution was to use the enemy detection function of the combat power detector. Even though Hope's body had shrunk, she had nowhere to hide from the third-generation combat power detector.

Furthermore, Hope's combat power was simply insufficient to destroy the combat power detector.

Hope's actions were obvious to Steve Rogers, who immediately stopped defending and launched an attack.

Seeing Hope flying towards him, he immediately slapped him with his bear paw.

Looking at the huge and swift hand, Hope immediately changed his flight path and prepared to fly around the arm.

She's no match for him in close combat, but once she gets on top of Steve Rogers, she has plenty of ways to defeat him.

Steve Rogers watched Hope wrap around his arm, and immediately the electromagnetic pulse device on his wrist was released again, as he was worried that Hope would jump onto him.

"Zi la!"

Hope was blasted away by the pulse device again, and Steve Rogers immediately followed, swinging his shield at Hope as he flew backward.

"Shh!"

The shield struck first, instantly slamming into Hope as she flew backward, pinning her beneath it.

Steve Rogers, who arrived later, leaped up and slammed onto the shield, pinning Hope beneath it.

Hope, who had been pinned to the ring by the shield, had regained her balance and recovered. Looking at the shield on her body, Hope tried to push it away, but Steve Rogers pressed it down hard.

Hope immediately returned to her original form, and the shield that had been holding her back was completely useless against her now that she had regained her size.

However, what Steve Rogers was waiting for was for Hope to regain her size. He couldn't defeat Hope when she was under the shield, but it would be much easier once she regained her size.

Steve Rogers immediately unleashed a barrage of low punches at Hope, his fists moving so fast they left afterimages, each strike delivered with full force.

Clearly, Steve Rogers was not holding back at all in order to win the match.

The shield that had been pressing down on him had fallen off due to the earlier blow. Seeing Steve Rogers's powerful punch, Hope quickly pressed the shrink button.

"bump!"

Steve Rogers' punch, which he intended to knock Hope unconscious, landed on the ring with a loud thud.

Hope was about to retaliate when the magnetic device on Steve Rogers' arm instantly attracted the shield to him.

Steve Rogers, now with the shield, slammed it down on Hope again. "Bang!"

Before Hope could leave, she was quickly subdued by Steve Rogers and pinned under his shield.

The shield, forged by the fusion of vibranium and adamantium, is impenetrable to Hope inside.

As for the contact surface between the shield's edge and the ring, Hope could only flow out from it at the atomic level.

However, Hope didn't dare to attempt atomic-level scaling at all. Scott's success was of no reference value; the other party had even forgotten how he got back.

Just as Hope was pondering, Steve Rogers' voice came through.

"Hope, give up."

As he spoke, Steve Rogers pressed down on his shield and slowly moved toward the edge of the ring.

Hope, inside the shield, watched as the shield began to move and started running in the same direction. Her body wasn't tough, and she didn't want to be crushed by the shield.

As for giving up, Hope will not give up until the very last moment.

Steve has people he can't give up on, and Hope naturally won't give up on her goal: to resurrect her mother, Janet.

They quickly reached the edge of the ring, where Hope was waiting for Steve Rogers to unveil his shield.

If her opponent doesn't remove her shield, she will fly out through the gap at the edge of the ring; even if the shield is removed, she will still fly out to counter-espionage.

However, upon reaching the edge of the ring, Steve used a magnetic device to instantly pull up the shield, raised it with both hands, flipped it over, and slammed it down on Hope with incredible speed and force.

If Steve had hit him, Hope would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

"clang!"

At the critical moment, Hope immediately enlarged her body. Her suit was not very fast, and she could not avoid Steve Rogers' counterattack. The best way was to restore her body and take the hit.

In the instant he recovered, Hope punched Steve Rogers in the chin and snatched the shield from Steve Rogers' hand.

The punch that landed squarely on his chin left Steve Rogers feeling slightly dizzy.

However, having mentally prepared himself, Steve Rogers, after taking the hit, immediately followed up with a side kick aimed directly at Hope's head.

"bump!"

Steve Rogers' kick was very powerful, hitting Hope directly in the head.

Before she could even savor the joy of snatching the shield, she was kicked off the edge of the ring and crashed heavily to the ground.

The kick was incredibly powerful. Hope, lying flat on the ground with her arms outstretched, nearly fainted.

In a daze, Hope even saw her mother waving at her, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was the medical staff who had arrived.

The medical staff checked him over, nodded to the martial arts tournament host, and then put Hope on a stretcher and took him away.

At that moment, Steve Rogers raised his arm, and the magnetic device activated, causing the shield that had fallen off the ring to fly back and attach to his arm.

At this moment, Steve Rogers looked around and realized he had made it to the semifinals. Looking at the cheers around him, he was one step closer to his dream.

This time I'm walking on thin ice. Will I really be able to reach the other side?
At that moment, the martial arts tournament host announced:
Congratulations to Steve Rogers on his victory and advancement to the semifinals!

The crowd in the audience kept calling out.

"Wow, no wonder he's Captain America, my childhood idol, he actually made it to the semifinals this time."

The people nearby cheered:
"Captain is a superhero who existed during World War II; he has a wealth of combat experience."

"There was no chance for Wasp to make a move. Unless it was a one-sided battle, his combat experience was a huge help."

Tony Stark was also somewhat surprised at this moment.

"It's really surprising that the captain made it to the semi-finals."

Little Chili nodded and said:

"But every game from now on will be difficult."

Ivan Vanko said:
"Unsurprisingly, the captain will likely be eliminated in the semifinals."

"The players who advance to the next round can no longer win simply by relying on combat experience."

Tony Stark nodded, knowing that winning the World Martial Arts Tournament would only become more difficult in the future.

He didn't think the captain had any chance now or in the future, unless the captain became a five-gem captain.

But even if the captain were given five gems, he wouldn't be able to use them.

However, Tony didn't know that if Thor lent Mjolnir to Steve, he would still have a sliver of a chance.

It's a pity that Thor isn't on Earth right now, so he can't lend Mjolnir to Steve Rogers.

At this moment, Hank Pym was having a headache. His daughter had failed. Despite being injected with the Super Soldier Serum and wearing the Wasp suit, she had been defeated by Steve Rogers.

This was simply unacceptable to him, but reality was right in front of him.

As for Scott, he will face the most formidable opponent in this tournament, Icarus.

This made Hank Pym even more desperate, and he saw even less hope of winning.

Turning his head to look at the box where Smith Doyle was, it seemed that he could only wait until after the competition to talk to him and see if he could persuade him.

Scott, who was in the candidate area, was also having a headache at this moment, because his girlfriend Hope had failed.

The heavy responsibility of reviving his girlfriend's mother fell on his shoulders, which put him under immense pressure.

He turned to look at Icarus, who would be his next opponent.

At this moment, the host on the stage announced:

"Steve Rogers and Hope just gave us a great fight, showing us that fighting can't be judged by paper strength alone."

"Extensive combat experience is also key to victory. The second match will now begin."

"Please welcome Icarus and Scott to the stage!"

Scott took a deep breath and said:
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I can do it."

Icarus glanced at Scott and said:
"Don't worry, the battle will be over soon, and you won't feel much pain."

After speaking, Icarus flew directly out of the candidate area and onto the arena.

Scott held his breath, thinking to himself:

"Never mind, let's give it our all."

"As for success or failure, Hank should already be mentally prepared."

After figuring it out, Scott also stepped into the ring.
