Katsumi looked straight ahead, slightly raising his eyes to look at Pico, who was now fully standing.

I have nothing left to use.

I have done my best...?

Haha, even now, I still don't think so!

Katsumi took a slight half-step back and assumed the starting stance for karate.

But to be more precise, due to the severity of his injuries, it could no longer be considered a stance; it was merely a simple imitation of movements.

But his fighting spirit remained undiminished!

Keep a calm mind...

This is what Shiraki Cheng meant by abandoning the concept of "ultimate move" and integrating combat into a normal mindset.

Whenever and wherever I am with Piccolo, this is all I want to do.

Because this is "me".

This is the only instance of "foolish self-destruction" since the Earth's birth 4.6 billion years ago!

"..."

Katsumi struggled to clench his remaining left fist, but only two fingers trembled. His eyelids felt incredibly heavy, as if they might close at any moment.

But he rearranged the stand.

"Come on, let's continue..."

With a sincere expression, Katsumi challenged Pik to a duel, heading towards this inevitable death feast.

Upon seeing this, Mo Tanghou shouted loudly:

"No way!!!"

Not only Mo Tang, but all the other disciples realized what was happening and cried out in alarm, begging their master to turn around and run for their lives.

But clearly, Katsumi Kuji did not agree.

Thank you everyone...

You believe that I will not run away at this moment and will continue to fight, which is why you are shouting like this, right?

Thank you for treating me this way...

Yuji's consciousness gradually blurred, and although he managed to remain standing, all that remained before him was darkness.

He didn't see the final scene—

Faced with his own dilapidated stand, Pi didn't pounce or bite.

Instead, he shed two hot tears, clasped his hands together, knelt down, and finally lowered his head, lightly touching the tip of his nose to the knuckle of his thumb, to express pure respect.

Chapter 540 Contentment

"—!!"

Inside the enormous Dome Stadium, the noise was even louder than before.

Because they were far away, most viewers didn't notice Pike's movements immediately.

All they saw was that Yudik had lost consciousness, while Pico shed two streams of hot tears.

Pike won.

So, Katsumi is going to be eaten...!?

Some people closed their eyes and pursed their lips, unable to bear looking at them;

Some people shouted loudly, hoping that Yudi Keji would escape quickly;

These sounds transformed into waves, echoing throughout the stadium for a long time.

"..."

Shiramu Cheng bathed in it, unable to help but squint slightly.

"Look..."

He turned his head slightly and sighed to Wu Fengshui beside him:

"Because it is certain that Katsumi Kuji had no intention of living to be a hundred years old, people cheered for his feat."

"Because they were certain that Katsumi would not run away, that's why some people shouted for him to flee."

"It is precisely because people are certain that Katsumi will accept the consequences that they attempt to change things."

"—This is a kind of trust."

Bai Mucheng pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Yuji Katsumi's strength has ultimately earned him this trust!"

"..."

After Bai Mucheng explained it this way, Wu Fengshui could understand.

But at that moment, the girl's eyes were fixed on the field, not understanding why such a scene was unfolding—

There, Pike's burly, wild body was kneeling before Keji, tears streaming down his face, his hands clasped together.

It is not the religious gesture of clasping hands together, but a more primitive form of "prayer hands".

Simply clasp your two hands together, overlap your thumbs, and overlap the remaining four fingers, then bow your head earnestly.

What kind of move is that?

Wu Fengshui blinked his black-and-white eyes. "So, is Pi going to eat Keji? When...?"

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Seeing that Katsumi had lost consciousness, Tokugawa Mitsunari in the audience had made a great decision.

Forgive me, Pikachu...

This isn't the age of dinosaurs, and I can't keep my promise!

The outcome is already decided, so Ke Si must not be eaten, much less lose his life...

Swish!

The old man frowned, suddenly raised his right hand, and gave an order.

Immediately, several gunmen who were already prepared stood up from various parts of the audience.

Holding tranquilizer guns, they aimed at Pico from different angles to ensure that the tranquilizer darts would hit, and would fire as soon as Tokugawa gave the order.

"……Um?"

To Bai Mucheng's surprise, Wu Fengshui, who was standing next to him, also pulled out a tranquilizer gun, activated his "Brow Liberation" ability, and aimed it at Pi Ke from a distance.

Hey~!

Wu Fengshui stuck out his tongue sheepishly and said with a grin, "Old Master Tokugawa hired me before the competition started, just to add an extra layer of insurance."

"I wanted to refuse, but he offered so much."

"I'll treat everyone to cake later~~~"

"..."

Bai Mucheng understood and stopped worrying about his girlfriend's work.

That said, Tokugawa sir did indeed act much more cautiously this time.

Perhaps it was the incident with Retsukai-oh that made Tokugawa feel lingering fear.

He was a passionate dueling enthusiast, but after the outcome was decided, he couldn't bear to lose any of his warriors, and he had an incredibly complex emotion.

Since Katsumi had already lost consciousness, Tokugawa did not want to see Katsumi being eaten!

"This isn't live ammunition, so get some sleep. Forgive me..."

Tokugawa took a deep breath and was about to lower his arm when the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, blocked by a thick shadow.

"...!?"

Tokugawa looked up and was shocked to find that it was none other than the "God of War," Goji Doppo!

"Unrivaled!!"

What Tokugawa didn't expect was that Doppo would assume a ready stance to throw a straight punch, aiming at Tokugawa, the threat of which was self-evident.

Tokugawa was stunned.

Du Bu, however, had a complicated expression and managed to squeeze out words with difficulty.

"Put the gun down..."

He stared at Tokugawa. "Old man, do you... want to disgrace my son?!"

"The unwritten agreement between men—Katsumi and Pico—is something no one else can interfere with..."

"Whether you're eating or being eaten... you should keep your promise!"

Du Bu's voice was somewhat hoarse, as if he had used a great deal of effort to finally make this decision.

Tokugawa stared blankly at Doppo, unable to bring himself to strike, frozen in place.

"..."

……

At the same time, in the stands.

Wu Fengshui kept his gun at bay, continuing to aim at Pico.

Although Tokugawa did not give the order, the girl could pull the trigger at any time if Shiraki wanted to.
