Super Fighting Tokyo.

"..."

Tokugawa paused, then suddenly nodded. "Indeed, but the fact that they were drawn here shows that they are undoubtedly 'strong' as well."

"Therefore, I, too, have begun to wonder—"

What is power?

……

……

As he said this, Wu Fengshui had already climbed over the spectator seats and gone to Bai Mucheng's side.

She overheard Tokugawa's words, "Speaking of which, Shiraki Chika is also pondering the question of 'what constitutes strength,' isn't she?"

"indeed."

Bai Mucheng looked up at the ceiling and said leisurely, "I came here for the answer to 'what is strength'."

……

……

Tokugawa cleared his throat.

"【The strongest creature on earth】Yujiro Hanma once said: True strength is the power to make wishes come true."

"The smallest unit of 'power' is the power to display willfulness and the power to carry out one's will!"

"From this perspective, everyone here is a strong person!"

Tokugawa's voice echoed throughout the arena.

"But one thing is certain: there are definitely some of you who disagree with this."

"So, if you want to refute this, then take the first step and answer with all your might!"

……

……

Having said that, I, in my humble opinion, have come to a clear understanding.

"Haha, the old man asked me to contact 'them' over, and it really was for this reason."

As they spoke, four people, including Yuji Doppo, got up and headed towards the arena.

Doppo, Retsu Kaioh, Hanayama Kaoru, and Shibukawa Goki!

Baki Hanma was pulled up by Doppo in the end, making him fifth.

The five men went up to the arena and stood opposite the five death row inmates. At that moment, they couldn't help but look around and experience the perspective of being "center".

"The scenery is indeed beautiful!"

Doppo opened his left eye wide, looking very happy, and even winked at Shiraki Cheng on the sidelines.

"..."

Let me explain first.

Tokugawa raised the microphone, "Not long ago, I held a tournament in this arena, with thirty-eight fighters participating."

"In terms of both content and level, I can confidently say that, throughout history, no competition can rival it!"

"In the end, the one who dominated that competition was this young man—"

"Baki Hanma!"

Tokugawa turned around and looked at Sikorsky.

"You just said that, in the end, the competition is just a rehearsal—preparation for the upcoming 'real battle'."

"Therefore, what I want to start tonight is not a match, but a 'battle'!"

"—It is integrated into daily life, and no one can predict when it will erupt or in what form."

"Only through such sudden battles can we bring out our unique characteristics!"

"In other words, everyone present has the ability to 'respond to each other'!"

"..."

Upon hearing Tokugawa's words, everyone's expressions varied.

"that……"

Baki raised his hand, indicating, "After talking so much about practical combat and everyday life, what you're really after is probably asking us to fight, right?"

"That understanding is not wrong either."

Tokugawa smiled and said, "As for the rules, I would like to adopt the 'Maeda Mitsuyo' method, which is—"

"If the duel is to take place in Shinjuku, then both sides must arrive there at the same time."

"Just wear your usual clothes and take a casual stroll around Shinjuku. You can go out for a meal or a drink if you like."

Finally, the two naturally encountered each other—

"Let the duel begin!"

"If you don't meet, continue the activity at the same time and under the same conditions on the second day, and keep trying until you meet."

"This is the idea proposed by judo master Mitsuyo Maeda when he was training overseas and asked local masters for permission to engage in mixed martial arts combat!"

"You can choose your opponent at will, regardless of the location, time, or even the rules."

"Even when you're eating, sleeping, or being affectionate with a woman, you have to be ready to fight at any time."

"That's what you call real combat!"

Tokugawa spoke so much that his voice was a little hoarse, but he could not hide his passion and pride.

"Want to fulfill your desires? Want to know 'what it means to be strong'? Then start with 'battle'! Start right now!!"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Katahara Metsudou clapped his hands and laughed.

He picked up another microphone and shouted in a booming voice, "Nogi!"

"……Yes."

Nogi Hideki, standing in the audience, stood up amidst the unimaginable pressure and the shifting gazes of the crowd.

Seeing this, Mie Tang revealed an expression of appreciation.

"You have been planning for a long time and have met the requirements to hold the 'Kengan Association President Competition,' so I will accept your challenge."

"To think that your wishes will come true just by making a wish is wishful thinking."

"What you truly desire is always accompanied by death..."

"Therefore, this 'battle for the position of president' will adopt the 'real-world' rules that I just mentioned!"

"It doesn't matter who it is!!"

"Members who want to seize the position of president of the Kengan Association, feel free to send your strongest fighter to participate in this 'real battle'!"

"I will also dispatch the [Fang of Annihilation]!"

"Both sides can contact the referees of the Kengan Association before the fight begins."

"Of course, both sides can also go to the referee for notarization and registration of the outcome of the battle after it has taken place!"

"We don't care where you come from, as long as you volunteer to join the war, or even join later!"

"Whether they are martial artists, fighters, murderers, or death row inmates..."

"Whether it's courting, cooperating, sowing discord, enticing, betting, or using personal favors..."

"Because other 'real-world' battles will be held at the same time, it is specifically stipulated that there can only be one 'official' battle in the competition between members."

In other words, the registered win or loss can only be recorded once.

"The company to which the defeated fighter belongs, or the member company that has no one left to fight, is considered eliminated."

"Fighting under these rules until the last fighter emerges is the ultimate victor!"

Its name—

"Kengan Street Fighter Tournament!"

Like Tokugawa, Metsudo leaned on his cane and blessed the warriors.

"I sincerely hope that you... no, we will all know the answer to 'what is strength' in the battles to come!"

……

……

After he finished speaking, the entire underground arena remained silent for a long time.

However, anyone could sense that the atmosphere did not quiet down; on the contrary, it intensified and began to spread and burn unchecked!

Amidst the turmoil of conflict, undercurrents are stirring...

Chapter 155 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!
