A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

With a sonic boom, Johnson flew swiftly over City A. In his line of sight, the giant crane monster swung its booms of varying lengths, instantly shattering the buildings on both sides and filling the sky with dust.

That's how the near destruction of half of the special training camp building came about.

Its powerful perception took in the apocalyptic scene. From the devastated ruins came screams and wails of agony. The owners of these voices were not so lucky; countless people had died the moment the disaster struck.

Although he had seen similar scenes more than once since his transmigration, Johnson was still angry.

Click——

The once calm sky over City A was suddenly filled with turbulent clouds.

With the power of thunder erupting, Johnson's eyes turned silver-white, and a large amount of lightning was released from him. The cotton candy-white clouds turned dark at a speed visible to the naked eye, with flashes of lightning occasionally streaking across them, producing muffled sounds like drumbeats.

A storm is brewing!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak... Hiccup! Why did the weather suddenly change?" The crane monster, who was about to wreak havoc, looked up in confusion when he noticed the sky had suddenly darkened. "Wait a minute! I'm no longer a weak human, so what does it matter if it rains! Squeak, squeak, squeak... Huh?"

Crack!

A twisted bolt of lightning tore through the not-yet-completely-dark sky and crashed down. Only after a long while did the distant high sky faintly echo with muffled thunder!

Mysterious Technique: The Heavenly Prison of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts!

Dense bolts of lightning descended from the sky. The crane monster only glanced at it before being engulfed by the dazzling lightning and frozen in place!

The storm imprint contained within instantly reached its limit, and the rule-like power tore apart the monster's mind, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Boom boom boom!

The thunder subsided, and thick smoke billowed.

Two pieces of glowing red scrap metal appeared on the scorched ground, as if it had been hit by artillery fire; those were the metal bodies of the crane monster.

However, the strange man is still alive!

"Squeak...it hurts! It hurts so much!"

"Damn it!! Who did this? Don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you into a foundation at the construction site!!"

"It's so noisy—"

Just as Qiao Sen was about to unleash another cannon shot, an impatient Jiao Zha's voice suddenly rang out from the sky.

A tiny, shimmering green dot floated beneath the lingering dark clouds, accompanied by an immense mental fluctuation that seemed utterly disproportionate to its size.

"That is……"

The little green dot gradually flew lower, revealing itself to be a green-haired loli with emerald green curly hair and wearing a black slit long shirt.

"It's her!"

Seeing that familiar, distinctive, and sexy outfit, Johnson suddenly realized: "S-rank second, Trembling Tornado! Oh...right, the association doesn't have an S-rank tier yet."

"But judging from this momentum, Tornado is already excessively strong. No wonder she is the strongest fighter in the association besides Baldy!"

A supermarket in City Z.

Achoo!

An ordinary-looking man with black hair suddenly sneezed. At that moment, he was torn between choosing between the limited-time special offer chicken breast and the limited-edition veal.

It was Saitama.

At this point, Saitama was wearing a plain yellow battle suit and plastic gloves like those worn by janitors, as if he was taking a quick trip to the supermarket during a hero's activity.

His facial features, enhanced by his battle suit, appear somewhat resolute and handsome, but upon closer inspection, his overall style softens back, and his gaze, preoccupied with the ingredients, seems particularly relaxed.

He looks like an ordinary human who enjoys quirky cosplay but is harmless.

"Huh...is someone thinking about me, or have I caught a cold?" Saitama rubbed his nose in confusion, completely ignoring the strange looks from other customers, and seriously propped his chin up as he muttered to himself, "That's strange, the weather isn't even that cold yet I still caught a cold, and I've been sticking to my training every day, what could be the reason?"

"In that case, let's have a special beef hot pot for dinner tonight to warm our stomachs! Speaking of which, it's been almost half a month since I've seen Qiao Sen, should we give him a call and invite him to join us?"

Just then, a sweet voice announced from the loudspeaker on the supermarket ceiling: "Dear customers, today's limited-edition sale items are sold out. The next limited-edition sale will begin next Saturday. Welcome to visit us again!"

"Ahhh, all the limited-edition items are sold out!?" Saitama was dumbfounded upon hearing the announcement, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "In that case, there's no need to worry about what to buy anymore. Tonight, we'll just have regular chicken breast hot pot..."

Ding Dong!

Before he could finish speaking, the announcement came on again: "It is now 5:30 PM. Today's limited-time sale has ended. Staff, please close the sales lanes promptly. Customers who have already selected their items can continue to the front desk to complete their payment..."

"..."

Chapter 21 Tornado Drop

An invisible low pressure descended, and the two elementary school students who were chasing and playing suddenly stopped. Their innocent eyes looked at the strange man who had turned black and white, and their expressions gradually turned to fear...

"Mom!!" *2

The two children ran away crying. Saitama's tightly clenched fist trembled slightly, then he let out a long breath, his black-and-white style returning to normal, and a harmless, powerful expression appeared on his face: "Well, I guess I'll have egg rice bowl today~"

Back in City A.

Just as Tornado was about to strike and kill the ugly monster with the annoying voice, her eyebrows furrowed and she turned to look into the distance.

"Who is there?"

As a fellow psychic, Tornado immediately realized that she wasn't alone in the sky and coldly turned her gaze aside.

"Who I am is not important." Johnson moved slightly closer, ignoring Tornado's aggressive gaze, and pointed to the crane monster below that was trying to close its two bodies. "The problem is not yet solved, and there are still a large number of people who need rescue."

"...Enough with the nonsense!" Tornado frowned, seemingly noticing the large number of civilians injured. She immediately calmed down and gave a haughty snort. "I'll handle that piece of trash down there. You don't need to interfere!"

From below came the grotesque, grating laugh of the crane operator, which sounded like scrap metal: "Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak! Found it! You did it, you brat! Squeak, squeak, squeak! Watch how I deal with you!!"

Tornado: “…”

Stinky little devil?

(?? ?)

"What...did...you...say...that..." The legally-owned loli's face darkened, and her slender fingers, glowing green, pressed down. "So noisy!!"

An unimaginable amount of mental energy poured out, and the formless and intangible spiritual intent solidified into a substance comparable to the hardest material in the world, instantly obscuring the entire sky.

Then, it crashed down!

Johnson: "..."

This brat, isn't she afraid of wasting her telekinetic power by using it like that?

"Squeak, squeak... Huh?"

The sky above suddenly turned pitch black, and the crane monster's swinging hammer to attack the surrounding buildings and its ear-piercing, metallic laughter came to an abrupt halt. For the first time, the human-like, ugly face at the center of the crane arm showed an expression of terror.

"Do not--"

The crane monster, which was swaggering just a second ago, was instantly flattened as if it had been stuffed into a hydraulic press. Its massive body, tens of meters tall, was reduced to a bloody mess, with thick, black blood gushing out.

Seemingly disgusted by the scene, Tatsumaki frowned, and the psychic energy spreading across the sky shifted from downward pressure to contraction. The next moment, the crane monster's corpse, which had suffered a dimensional reduction attack, along with the blood that filled the sky, converged towards the center, and within seconds it was compressed into a lump of metal cubes whose original shape could not be recognized.

Johnson casually accepted the monster's spirit and turned it into an SR monster card. Seeing Tatsumaki clapping her hands triumphantly with a pout, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I'm going down to rescue them first."

Tornado: "Ah..."

The emerald green-clad superpowered girl looked in the direction where Johnson had fallen, and the horrific scene below immediately came into view.

She has always been responsible for eliminating monsters, and now that she has joined the Hero Association, she is just following in that man's footsteps.

"Tch, the weak caught in the crossfire... I see, what a nuisance!"

Muttering discontentedly, Tornado turned her small face to the side, revealing no hint of her mood.

She raised her fair hand, her slender fingers spread out, and casually waved it.

Countless injured people, enveloped in transparent energy shields, floated out of the broken stairwells and windows, gently falling to the ground.

In the center of the ruins, Johnson was using the same method to rescue civilians. When he saw the green psychic energy around him that did not belong to him, he couldn't help but laugh.

So, at heart, he's not a bad person after all.

Two superpowered individuals joined forces to rescue a large number of civilians from the ruins.

Many of the lucky survivors who were not injured, though covered in dust and dirt, spontaneously joined the rescue efforts.

Hero Association and other rescue teams arrived one after another, and the entire rescue operation continued until late at night.

It's almost over.

Qiao Sen breathed a sigh of relief. The large amount of mental energy consumed had left him feeling exhausted, even with his physical constitution.

"You're quite good at holding on for this long."

A textbook-perfect arrogant tone came to his ears, and Qiao Sen had a headache. Then he saw a green-haired loli who seemed to have no bottom line descending from the sky, enveloped in green light.

Her pretty little face was radiant with sunshine, clearly indicating that she was in a good mood.

"You make it sound so easy..."

"Tch, it's a really easy little thing."

"Yes, yes, it's a small matter for you, Miss Tornado."

"Hmph..." With a soft snort, Tornado felt quite pleased with Johnson's flattery. "Johnson, right? Sitch told me you're a hero too."
