Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 156 Street Fighting Tournament!
Mitsunari Tokugawa, the 13th head of the Tokugawa zaibatsu and the operator of the Tokyo Dome underground fighting arena, proposed the rule of "street fighting".

According to him, under these rules, soldiers can fully utilize their unique characteristics without reservation!

Five death row inmates gathered here simultaneously, and Tokugawa summoned the fighters of the underworld to bestow upon them "defeat" as a gift.

And then...

The current president of the Kengan Association, Katahara Metsudo, a leading figure in the financial world, announced that a "Kengan Association Presidential Battle" would be held based on these rules.

Its name is: Kengan Street Fighter Tournament!

"..."

The two major events in the world of combat sports are like two storms that are turning in unison, converging tonight to create an even more dazzling wave!

Upon hearing this news, the assembled heroes had varying opinions.

Hideki Nogi, the president of the Nogi Group, gets together with another entrepreneur to analyze the current situation.

The entrepreneur was a bald, middle-aged man, who was none other than "Lu Yexuan," the chairman of Steel Generation Co., Ltd., the company of the fighter "Prison Angel" Guan Linchun.

"The Kengan chairmanship battle has turned into the 'Kengan Fatal Street Championship'?"

Kano Gen frowned. "Street fighting—that doesn't align with the Kengan Association's tradition. What was Katahara-sensei thinking?"

"Don't look at me. I thought it would be an 'elimination round,' but it turned into a 'street battle.'"

Nogi Hideki smiled wryly, "Although I was the instigator of the Kengan Association's turmoil, I really can't see through the chairman's thoughts. That old man is too terrifying."

The two looked worried.

Suddenly, a relaxed voice rang out, approaching the two from behind and forcefully interrupting their conversation.

"Want to know? I'll tell you..."

Nogi and Kano turned around and saw that the person was a thin, white-haired young man. According to the intelligence, he was a legendary gambler active in the underworld, the "Lie Eater" Baku Madarame.

The spotted tapir pointed into the distance.

The two looked in the direction the Baku was pointing and saw the conspicuous foreigner with long blond hair standing in front of [Carnivore] Billy Greco.

The spotted tapir made no attempt to hide its ulterior motives, but it also told the truth.

"That long-haired guy is the leader of IDEAL, named 'Vincent Laro,' a guy who really likes to use underhanded tactics."

These words were enough; Nogi and Kano understood immediately.

The leader of IDEAL has long coveted the Kengan Association and has been plotting to annex it. He has also most likely already obtained membership in the Kengan Association.

Now that the battle for the chairmanship has begun, IDEAL, as a criminal organization, will inevitably take action.

However, if the "Kengan Deathmatch" is held according to the tradition of the Kengan Association, all participants will gather in one place, which will inevitably be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

“When IDEAL makes a move, Mr. Katahara naturally has to accept it.”

Baku with a smile explained, "In order to deal with Vincent Laro's underhanded tactics, that old man incorporated 'underhanded tactics' into the game as well."

"Therefore, the Kengan Association's 'Deadly Elimination Tournament' updated its 'real combat' rules and became the 'Deadly Street Championship'!"

Baku tore open a packet of dried plums and looked at Nogi and Kano.

"If you two need more information, we can discuss it in detail later."

"You don't want IDEAL to get involved in the Boxing Association either, do you? Look at Vincent Laro, he's really enjoying himself..."

"..."

……

On the arena.

After a moment of silence, everyone understood one thing.

That's right!

Whether it's the street sparring among the fighters, or a part of it—the Kengan Street Championship—the competition has already begun.

The match has already begun!

"..."

An odd, distorted aura spread throughout the entire venue.

Just then, Baki Hanma suddenly yawned, easily breaking the silence.

"Phew—! Grandpa, I'm going back now. I have to get up early for class tomorrow."

The boy turned and waved, "Goodnight, everyone..."

"..."

Only after the champion left did everyone come to their senses.

After exchanging glances and memorizing each other's faces, everyone left one by one.

…… ……

Kou Momiji, who was in the front row of the audience, couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of Baki Hanma, he can still be so casual in this kind of atmosphere."

"Shiraki, that's the champion of the underground arena. I was defeated by him."

"..."

"Shiraki... Hey! Shiraki?"

With no one answering, Hao Hongye turned her head in confusion and saw Bai Mucheng leaning against Wu Fengshui's shoulder, his eyes gently closed, looking serene.

Hao Hongye: "..."

Hao Hongye: "He..."

Wu Fengshui raised his finger and made a "shh" gesture, "He's asleep."

Hao Hongye: "..."

Hao Hongye: "...?"

He paused, then whispered, "When... wait, why can I fall asleep here? And why do I need to sleep?"

The doctor was completely baffled.

"Perhaps it's very simple, because I'm sleepy."

The one who answered Hao Hongye was not Wu Fengshui, but a voice that came from behind him.

Hao Hongye turned her head and saw a white-haired uncle with a cigarette that had just been extinguished in his mouth, probably so as not to disturb the sleeping Bai Mucheng.

Wu Fengshui recognized the man, so he quietly introduced him to Hao Hongye, "This uncle is called Akagi Shigeru."

[A person from the divine realm]!
Among Gao Hongye's patients were also regulars at underground mahjong parlors, who had heard of this "legendary" figure from them.

Is Akagi Shigeru also a friend of Shiraki Shō?
Just as Kou Momiji was wondering what was going on, Nogi Hideki from the Nogi Group also rushed over and headed straight for Shiraki Sei.

He had just chatted with Baku and heard him mention Shiraki Cheng, so he decided to come and ask him in person to learn more about Baku before making any further plans.

Unexpectedly, Shiramu Cheng was fast asleep, leaning on the girl's shoulder!
"……Ha ha."

Nogi chuckled a few times and said helplessly, "To be honest, if I were a fighter, and I got involved in tonight's events, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully even if I went home, let alone fall asleep now."

Akagi Shigeru asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"

Nogi was even more puzzled, "Is that even a question?"

He spread his hands and said, "Thinking about it carefully, the 'real combat' rules just now were just a bloody free-for-all, with no specific restrictions at all."

"Attacks can happen anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances. Whether you're eating, sleeping, or on a date, you could be attacked. It's like the Warring States period!"

"The fighters participating in the 'Street Fighting Tournament' are all employed by members of the Kengan Association, so we will leave them aside for now."

"If I were targeted by those death row inmates, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep a wink all night, and I'd be paranoid even when I went out on the street. I couldn't stand that!"

"..."

Hearing Nogi's words, Akagi Shigeru took a few puffs of his extinguished cigarette. "Heh, is that so? It's definitely the most 'normal' way to think."

Nogi rubbed his temples. "Yeah..."

But Shigeru Akagi changed the subject, "But what does it matter?"

"When you're tired, just find a comfortable place to sleep, and if you want to go home, you can just go home directly. Perhaps this is the simplest kind of 'power'."

Shigeru Akagi gestured with his fist.

"As long as your fists are strong enough, and as long as you treat 'real combat' as 'daily routine,' then life will not change, except that you will stay up a little later tonight."

"Whether it's Baki Hanma, Jouken, or any other fighter, they probably all think the same way, right?"

Akagi Shigeru lowered his gaze and looked at the sleeping Shiraki Shige, sighing softly.

"I really envy them..."

"Only people like them—"

"Only those who can sleep peacefully and live ordinary daily lives before fierce battles can be considered to truly enjoy the fight."

"...

Akagi Shigeru paused, then suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, ever since Chengjun fell asleep, there's been a group of people watching you. Is something the matter?"

"Ok?"

Following Akagi Shigeru's gaze, Nogi saw the Wu clan members, led by "Wu Eriyo".

They were looking in Wu Fengshui's direction, curiously examining Bai Mucheng, who was sleeping on Wu Fengshui's shoulder.

Wu Fengshui chuckled and said, "It's alright, my older brother is too lazy to care, but Grandpa Clan Chief is very satisfied. Bai Muqin is qualified!"
