Super Fighting Tokyo.

at the same time.

The main branch of the Jujutsu Dojo welcomes yet another rare guest.

——【Demon Gun】Kuroki Gensai.

This burly man with a full, dark beard was wearing a black martial arts uniform with a long overcoat. He took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the floor.

Before him sat the master of the dojo, Honbu Izo.

The two middle-aged men were drinking hot tea.

"..."

The headquarters recounted what Shiraki had said yesterday.

"Um..."

Gensai Kuroki silently drank his tea and listened quietly.

Some time ago, he asked Shiramu Cheng a question:

"What kind of fighter do you want to be? What are you pursuing? And how should you proceed?"

Shiraki Cheng did not give an answer at the time.

And now, after traveling so much during this time, Bai Mucheng's final words reveal his true thoughts—

Shiraki Shōsō wanted to explore "what it means to be powerful".

Therefore, he can recognize the "difficulty" but does not dislike it.

We must face difficulties and confront strength in order to find the answers.

"……I see."

Gensai Kuroki took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "Hmm, that is indeed an answer that I, Kuroki, can 'agree' with!"

"..."

After a pause, Kuroki Gensai slowly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. "Mr. Honbu, can you beat Shiraki Sei?"

The commander took a sip of tea, exhaled a few puffs of steam, and after pondering for a moment, replied, "If I were to go into the arena, I might not survive!"

"so……"

Kuroki Gensai finished his tea, got up to say goodbye, put on his shoes at the door, and then picked up his simple bag.

In his trench coat pocket was a key card, similar in style to Shiraki Cheng's, except that it had the "Six Insects" landmark printed on it.

"In that case, I should go and fulfill my mission."

Gensai Kuroki left the main dojo and walked through the streets, step by step heading towards the inner city.

……

……

About an hour later.

Shiramu Cheng had already arrived at the outskirts of the inner city with his backpack on.

It was a deserted neighborhood, and you could smell the signs of decay.

This place is not within the inner city, but because it is adjacent to the inner city, it is often frequented by criminals, and thus it has gradually declined.

Most residents have moved away, and no company is willing to develop the area.

After a while, the area became completely deserted. Although people still lived there, it would eventually turn into a complete ruin.

click, click, click...

Bai Mucheng walked slowly.

From a distance, you can see a large wall, about ten meters high.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a series of interconnected "buildings," complete with windows, resembling a prison or some other special type of structure.

Judging from its appearance, it is clearly quite old, and there are traces of repairs and reinforcements nearby, suggesting that the Metropolitan Police Department has been maintaining it.

"..."

We walked out of the deserted street and came to the front of the high-walled building.

This is the entrance to the "Three Wolves Street".

As you can see, there is a warehouse-sized entrance on the wall, with a guard post outside where police officers are stationed.

There were also temporary tents nearby.

It can be inferred that there are not many police officers stationed there on a regular basis, since the inner city is beyond their control and the residents of the inner city are too lazy to get entangled with the Metropolitan Police Department, so they usually do not cause trouble outside.

But recently, something seems to have happened that has led to the Metropolitan Police Department needing to deploy additional personnel.

"..."

White wood supports buildings near high walls.

Seeing that he had come prepared, the stationed police officers were about to step forward to question him when Bai Mucheng suddenly spotted two familiar faces—

Superintendent Morio Sonoda and another female police officer, Kazuka Iori.

"Hey, stop asking, it's someone I know~ Someone I know~!"

Iori Kazuka waved his hand, dispersing the police officers who approached.

She still had that delinquent cop vibe, with her signature tuft of hair sticking up and a mouthful of sharp shark teeth, making her look intimidating.

"So you finally came, Shiraki-kun..."

Yi Hua put her hands on her hips and said, "Whether it's you or that Oliva—I knew I couldn't stop you all!"

"But anyway, you still helped the Metropolitan Police Department, thanks!"

"..."

Bai Mucheng was stunned when he heard this.

"So that's how it is, there were indeed other people here!"

He already knew that Oliva was investigating things in the inner city using "Dor" as a lead.

Based on Yi Hua's words, it can be inferred that Oliva most likely also obtained a "key card" and came to the inner city to investigate.

In Oliva's words: "I will never allow anyone to be freer than me!"

And so, the freest man on earth came to this "freest city on earth".

"Ha ha……"

Shiramu Cheng found it very interesting and unconsciously grinned.

Seeing this expression, Sonoda knew he couldn't persuade him, so he reluctantly stepped forward and got straight to the point, introducing the situation in the inner city.

"Regarding the origin of the Sato Castle—it is said to have been a settlement established by a group of shogunate soldiers and refugees during the late Edo period, but the credibility of this claim is unclear."

"In short, over the years, that place has become a complete lawless zone."

“Terrorists, wanted criminals, illegal immigrants, criminals… and of course, people ‘born in the inner city’.”

"The combined above-ground and underground areas—a total of approximately 20 people."

Sonoda gestured.

What does this mean?

"For a district, this number is already quite remarkable. Several districts in Tokyo don't even have this many residents."

"Although it can't compare to the city center... the population density is quite alarming because the area is small."

Sonoda stroked his chin.

"Let's talk about recent events—"

"With the covert support of 'Tokyo Electric Power Company' without direct evidence, the international criminal organization IDEAL, in conjunction with the 'Insect Organization', instigated a group of unruly villains in the inner city."

"This group seems to be joining forces to reorganize the power structure of the inner city, and a chaotic battle is about to break out."

"We don't know yet if there are any other conspiracies."

"Once this group takes action, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar, and may even lead to a riot throughout the entire city."

"By then, a large number of residents of the inner city will riot and flee, and it will be impossible to stop them. It can almost be called the 'most violent street riot in history'."

"If this is the case, public security in the outside world will definitely be affected, and even more distant places may be endangered."

"Some economists speculate that the criminal organization wanted to take advantage of the situation to manipulate stock prices and make a fortune."

At this point, Sonoda's expression didn't look good.

After all, he was a conscientious and responsible police officer who just wanted everyone to live peacefully.

Sonoda turned his head and looked into the distance.

There stood an older police officer, nicknamed "Grandma," with a hooked nose, sharp and discerning eyes, and a physique full of explosive power.

"She is the Eagle Lady of the Secret Burial Department, and also a master of martial arts."

Sonoda said in a deep voice:

"Although the Secret Burial Division sent many people to provide support, and the Metropolitan Police Department also deployed other special forces, the risk is still extremely high."

In short—

Sonoda reached out and grasped Shiraki's hands tightly.

"I'm worried about you all, so I feel it's not appropriate to say it like this..."

"But, whether it's Oliva, you, or the other fighters—whatever your purpose, I appreciate your help, and please be careful."

"I'm sorry, I can't offer any effective plans, but if you need intelligence, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll keep you updated with any news."

"..."

Looking into Sonoda's sincere eyes, Shiraki felt a little embarrassed.

"Hmm...besides Mr. Oliva and me, are there any other people here?"

He hadn't thought too much about it; he just wanted to travel around and see what it was like. He hadn't expected the inner city to be so lively.
