A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Saitama could easily have taken down a mere Tiger-level monster before he even started training, so it should be even easier for him now.

Crab Monster: ?

Even so, Johnson still went against the flow of people and headed towards where the strange man had appeared.

……

Ten minutes ago.

"Ugh—a monster!"

"Run! Run!!"

"A weirdo! A weirdo has appeared!!"

"Mother!!!"

"..."

An octopus-like monster the size of a hot air balloon appeared in the city. With a casual wave of its claw-like tentacles, buildings were cut and destroyed, and the sparks it sent flying ignited gas pipes that had been cut, causing a violent chain of explosions.

The city, which was peaceful just a moment ago, now resembles a scene from hell.

A Tiger-level monster, "Octopus Claw Man," has appeared.

"Nisnei, Nisnei, Nisnei!"

"Humanity needs Sine!"

The octopus monster had a cynical and bizarre face, and kept muttering to itself as it waved its tentacles to attack the crowd.

Its sharp claws made its tentacles extremely aggressive. Many civilians who were caught fell down like grass, and some even flew into the air screaming, their blood splattering all over the ground.

"Xine! Xine!"

The strange man's voice was like a death knell. A tall, thin man with blond hair lost his footing in a panic and fell to the ground. He turned around and looked at the giant octopus monster that had approached him with a face full of despair.

Am I...am I going to die?! (crying voice)

Thump thump thump... thump thump thump...

A series of rhythmic striking sounds gradually grew louder and louder. The octopus monster was stunned for a second, wondering why the little thing below was suddenly making such a loud noise.

But the next moment, a thick tentacle, like a whip, left a blur and suddenly fell!

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"

"my eyes!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky. Three bloody wounds appeared on the man's left cheek, and his eyeballs were almost shredded by a claw!

Good luck!

It was just that my eyelids, which I closed unconsciously, suffered a minor injury.

The "Octopus Claw Man" looked at his claws in confusion. Had the distance between them become too short?

The tall, thin man clutched his wound in pain, blood seeping from between his trembling fingers, soaking half his face.

His face shape was the kind that made strangers want to stay away, but because of his timid personality and his habit of wearing hats, it wasn't very noticeable before.

At this moment, the wounds and blood unexpectedly added a touch of ferocity to the scene.

If only his eyes weren't so fearful.

How is this going?

The "Octopus Claw Man," now transformed into a monster, didn't hesitate for long. Driven by a destructive urge filling his mind, he raised the tentacles he had just retracted high and slammed them down with another powerful blow! This attack was bound to cleave the lucky man who had escaped death beneath his feet in two!

The strong wind that almost hit his face made it difficult for the man to open his eyes, and his entire life flashed before his eyes like a slideshow.

A carefree childhood, an ordinary school life, and an ordinary adult experience of being beaten down by society, ultimately turning him into a shut-in who only knows how to play video games.

The thought of not having even met her new waifu in the visual novel she just bought finally overwhelmed her reason, and before death, it manifested as a desperate, furious scream: "I don't want to die! Anyone!! Please come and save me!!!"

Thump thump thump... thump thump thump...

"Nisunai...eh?"

The deafening drumbeats, accompanied by desperate shouts of "Damn it!", successfully brought the giant octopus's "Shinei" to an abrupt halt.

The expected excruciating pain did not come. The tall, thin man, covered in sweat, struggled to open his eyes and, as if in a hallucination, saw an ordinary figure, not even as tall as himself, blocking his way.

But anyway...

I survived!

The falling tentacles stopped in mid-air, trying to retract, but found themselves bound in place by a force far beyond human strength. The octopus monster had to look down again and saw an ordinary human wearing a blue tracksuit, who was holding its tentacles tightly with both hands!

What the hell?

But how could human strength possibly contend with monsters?

"Every time I go out to buy groceries, something unpleasant always happens. It looks like the clothes I just mended are going to tear again..."

With his feet firmly planted in the concrete and head bowed as he wrestled with the giant octopus, Saitama called out to those behind him, "Hey, if you still have any energy left, get out of here! This is about to become a battlefield!"

"I know, I know!"

At this moment, Saitama's profile, obscured by his face, resembled that of an angel, while his ordinary body, indistinguishable from that of a normal person, was as majestic as a mountain.

The scene before him was like a branding iron, deeply imprinted on the man's heart.

The man, nearly losing control of his bladder from fright, dragged his limp legs and scrambled away.

"A series of... normal punches!"

boom……

The fleeing man watched in shock as his savior was knocked flying to his side.

The more cool his stance was when he blocked the monster, the more pathetic he looked now as he was sent flying.

"Ouch... I was careless, I didn't dodge!"

Saitama, whose forehead was cut, instinctively squinted, the blood quickly staining his cheeks red.

Some blood flowed through his eyes, inevitably staining his vision with a bloody tinge.

Chapter 82 That Man

Unlike the other man present, Saitama habitually ignored the pain, as if getting injured was nothing out of the ordinary.

Noticing the man staring at him in disbelief, Saitama grinned: "Don't worry, I'm still very strong after training!"

He nimbly scrambled to his feet, shoving aside the still-dazed man, and fiercely punched the octopus monster that was chasing after him.

"Come on, the battle has only just begun!!"

……

When Johnson arrived, the giant octopus that had caused the chaos had its head blown off by some unknown force, and its mangled body lay in the middle of the street.

A ragged figure was grabbing an octopus tentacle with sharp claws and cutting it apart from the other octopus tentacles.

Why do octopuses grow tentacles?

Oh, what a weirdo!

That's fine.

"Heart Net" located several severely injured survivors. Johnson's hands flowed with vibrant green chakra. He activated "Palm Healing Technique," rapidly repairing their wounded bodies and pulling them back from the brink of death.

Unfortunately, such lucky individuals are ultimately few and far between.

"Are you alright, Saitama?"

"Hey, wait a minute... who are you?"

Saitama subconsciously turned around and saw a guy whose face he couldn't quite make out approaching, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

Does it work so well?

Qiao Sen looked up in surprise at the baseball cap he was wearing, the same style as the Qiao family's war god, revealing his handsome face: "It's me, Qiao Sen."

"It's Johnson! Strange, I almost didn't recognize him when he put on the hat?"

"After all, I am a public figure, so it's normal for me to need to disguise myself a little when I go out, right?"

Saitama couldn't help but recall the serious stampede that had nearly killed him, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement: "What you said makes a lot of sense!"

Using his telekinesis to move the injured man, whose vital signs had returned to normal, to an open area where rescue was easier, Qiao Sen looked at Saitama, who was covered in blood but working hard, and his lips twitched slightly: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Cutting off so many octopus legs, are you planning to take them back to eat?"

"Yeah, these octopus legs are so fresh, it would be such a waste to waste them!" Saitama, who looked like he had just come back from scavenging, kept busy with his hands and looked completely at ease. "Besides, I also bought some wasabi sauce this time. With soy sauce, it's the perfect match for boiled octopus slices!"

At this point, Saitama froze, his expression changing drastically: "Oh no, I threw away the things I just bought while trying to save someone! I have to go find them!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already vanished in a flash.

"Eh……"

Johnson raised his hand but couldn't stop him. He sighed and used his telekinesis to turn the cut-off octopus leg into a card, intending to help Saitama retrieve it.

As for eating?

Eating it is impossible! I would never eat such a strange food in my entire life!
