Super Fighting Tokyo.

call!

The old fisherman swung his harpoon with a powerful punch, using the outside of his little finger to forcefully "throw" it at Kebar, striking him in the chest.

What was emitted at that moment was not a muffled thud, but a roar!

Boom—!!

Kebar did not flinch, letting Horukichi hit him with heavy punches, and even continued to put his hands on his waist to take the blows head-on.

—Swish!

Kebar's two shoes left two tire tracks on the sandy ground.

When the echoes faded, everyone stared intently at the sound and froze in place.

All that could be seen was the heavy punch of Horukichi's Whale Burial still on Kebar's chest, and he himself was still in the position of putting his hands on his hips.

Aside from the tire tracks under his feet, he didn't move an inch!

Didn't...miss?

No! They weren't defeated!!

"—!?"

He Luji's eyes widened involuntarily at this moment.

He never imagined that his powerful punch would be taken by a "creature" in this way, and that the creature would even be able to stand up!

That's a punch that can shatter concrete walls and even the spine of a great white shark can't withstand!

What an incredibly stable base! And what terrifying resilience!

"..."

Bai Mucheng could see it more clearly.

The Whale Burial of that [Sea Monk] Horukichi is a powerful punch that would cause even [Roaring Fighting Spirit] Armored Sapain to spit blood from his mouth and nose after being hit.

But Kebal acted as if nothing had happened!

"..."

"Hmph!"

Kebar twitched his nose and exhaled a hot breath.

"Old Captain, you can't defeat me."

"Because you people are merely 'standing on the ground,' which is not enough to 'establish a foothold.'"

"..."

As he spoke, Kebar gently pressed down on Horukichi's fist.

"Since we're going to fight, let's make it more formal. I remember 'boxing' involves this kind of movement, right...?"

He slowly raised his fists, like a beginner, using a simple movement to protect his chin, his expression always relaxed and at ease.

Before He Luji could react, he heard Kebar say with a faint smile, "Speaking of which, I also quite enjoy brawling—"

Whoosh!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kebar delivered a left-arm swing punch.

Its speed was truly as fast as lightning, and its power was so great that it made a whooshing sound as it hit the side of He Luji's head in an instant.

Boom-!

With a muffled thud, He Luji Cheng was struck on the right side of his head, and his body tilted to the left before crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

The 165kg giant smashed into the sandy ground, sending up clouds of dust.

"...?!"

Everyone looked closely and could vaguely see He Luji lying on his side on the ground.

Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, He Luji suddenly stood up.

What's even more unexpected is that He Luji Cheng didn't stand up by pushing off the ground, but stood up directly by relying solely on his feet and waist, using the resilience of his torso!

His posture was perfectly balanced, like that of a ballet dancer, not at all like that of a giant!

"call……"

He Luji was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and looked up at Kebar.

Upon seeing this, the onlookers immediately gasped in surprise.

"That bald guy still wants to fight!"

"He didn't lose!"

"It's so sturdy!"

"..."

Even Kebar himself clapped and praised, "Oh! Not bad at all. If you want to live at sea, you have to be at least this good!"

"..."

He Luji heard what everyone was saying, but he felt no joy at all.

Because he became "sober".

Lu Zui, also known as "Landing Disorder"—

Living at sea for extended periods can easily cause these symptoms.

Specifically, this manifests as a loss of balance.

Nothing happened while at sea, but after returning to land, one might experience the illusion of being rocked by the waves.

Fishermen who make a living from fishing often suffer from this symptom because their sense of balance is completely adapted to the waves.

With over 40 years of experience as a fisherman, [Umibozu] Kōrō Yoshiaki exhibits typical symptoms of land-drunkenness.

For him, land was an unstable place.

However, Kebar's punch just now hit Heluji Cheng's temple, shaking his brain and disrupting his balance.

as a result--

He Luji Cheng, return to the sea!

His symptoms of intoxication disappeared, his senses became sharp again, and he was able to see his opponent more clearly.

Even if I were to risk my life, I would have absolutely no chance of defeating [Second Master]!

The difference in strength is too great; they're not even in the same league!

What should I do?

He Luji was lost in confusion.

TEPCO's henchmen are probably hiding among the crowd, watching me. So what should I do to protect my home?

Just then, Kebar's rebuke rang in Horukichi's ears.

"Old Captain, are you going to stop?! When facing a powerful enemy, will you lose your precious courage?!"

"..."

Kebar's shout brought Horuki back to his senses.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had indeed been taught a lesson by the young man in front of him.

What if we face a formidable foe?

Even when facing monsters in the sea or storms on the ocean, he never backed down and fought to the very end!

Swish!

He Luji strode forward, raised his right fist, and unleashed another powerful Whale Burial punch, striking Kebar's face.

--boom!

It is clear that He Luji's strength was insufficient this time.

Kebar's punch was too heavy.

Even though the symptoms of "Lu Zui" were relieved, the physical exertion on He Lu Jicheng was still enormous, leaving him unable to exert any strength.

But when the fist hit Kebar in the face, it caused him to bleed from both noses.

"Um……"

Kebar stood there, letting Horuji's fist embed itself in his face, his expression full of leisure and reminiscence.

"That's more like it! That's the kind of punch that's powerful enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Lujicheng exhausted all his strength, and with a "thud," he finally collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over.

"..."

……

He Luji Cheng threw two punches in quick succession, but only managed to draw a few drops of blood from Kebar's nose.

Kebar didn’t even throw a second punch; with his remaining strength, he made Horukichi lose his senses and fall to the ground, unable to get up again!

Such a scene is truly breathtaking!

Seeing that the outcome was decided, the underlings rushed forward noisily to celebrate their new leader's victory.

At this moment, Bai Mucheng noticed a "skinny man" hiding in the crowd, with a weapon concealed at his waist and a malicious glint in his eyes.

Swish!

As his henchmen surged forward, the assassin quickly closed in on Kebar, drew a pistol from his waist, and raised it to fire, intending to carry out the assassination.

The next moment—

call out!

Kebar disappeared without a trace.

The assassin looked bewildered, pistol in hand, glancing around.
