Captain Strei, Dr. Payne, Tokita Ohma, Momiji Hiroki, and Shiraki Sho—

Five easily recognizable individuals walk together on the street, strolling in the night, continuing their detailed discussion of the approaching battle.

Yujiro Hanma VS Baki Hanma.

The strongest father and son on Earth are fighting!!

"..."

The burly "US Army Colonel" Stryker was smoking a cigar.

"Although arguments between fathers and sons are a common occurrence in every family, there is no need for others to get involved."

"But if you really think that way, then there would be a huge misunderstanding."

"That's a problem comparable to war breaking out between nations!"

Captain Stray exhaled a puff of smoke.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Payne paused for a moment, then recalled, "That Yujiro Hanma was also one of the infiltrators at the US military base, wasn't he?"

"I saw his face in the video, and he really does live up to his name; he's a typical [Ogre] type of person..."

Dr. Payne clenched his fist and gestured.

“I remember that Mr. Yujiro once used a clenched fist to wrestle with Pike head-on—an act that defied common sense.”

"I never imagined that Mr. Streiley could maintain a friendship with a man like that."

"..."

Stryker laughed helplessly and scratched his head.

"Spare me! I only managed to maintain our friendship on the condition that I challenge Yujiro with all my might once a year, and I always lose miserably..."

"In short, for Yujiro Hanma, all the emotions, efforts, and diligence are just decorations, and they will cast a shadow over the purity of victory or defeat."

"The strongest creature on earth will not complicate the pure essence of 'victory'."

Stryner flicked his cigarette ash.

"Including Dr. Payne, you should all have met, or at least heard of, Mr. Unchain from the Arizona State Prison, right?"

The four people traveling together nodded in agreement.

Even Dr. Payne had seen the "Unbound One" Bisket O'Lewis in his research materials.

His physical data is so exaggerated that Dr. Payne even speculated that Oliva was fully capable of fighting Pike head-on!

"I received the news just yesterday."

Stryker said in a deep voice, "At Arizona State Prison, Oliva lost to Yujiro."

"...!!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma's eyes widened immediately. "Really? That Uncle Oliva who almost turned the inner city upside down actually lost?!"

Strei's eyes widened. "Is that hard to imagine?"

Wang Ma paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "Well, it's not that hard to understand..."

Stry raised his hands and clenched his ten fingers.

"At the end of that brief contest, Yujiro and Oliva raised their hands, interlaced their fingers, and engaged in a head-on grappling match."

"Yujiro gave his definition of victory and defeat—"

"It depends on the elevation and altitude at the time of the duel."

Whoever can hold their head the highest wins!

"In the end, Yujiro overpowered Oliva in the hand-to-hand grappling, forcing Oliva to bend over and lower his head, making him 0.5 meters shorter than Yujiro."

"..."

Hao Hongye smiled faintly: "Powerful, decisive, and without a single point of doubt—that's definitely the style of [Ogre] in terms of victory and defeat!"

Dr. Payne nodded in agreement, “Unlike Piccolo’s eating habits, it’s a different kind of competitive mindset.”

"Speaking of which... where's Piko?"

Wang Ma suddenly realized, "I haven't seen him since we chatted on the rooftop that night. I heard from Yamashita Kazuo that there's been a lot of online arguments about him lately!"

The following information about Piccolo is also what Dr. Payne wants to tell everyone.

"Pico is currently staying at the research institute in Tokyo."

“Across the world, from high-level officials to ordinary citizens, a great debate has taken place regarding Pike’s placement and future.”

“Let him stay in the modern world and live with us, or put him back into the rock salt layer to continue sleeping.”

"—The debate raged on between these two viewpoints."

As he spoke, Dr. Payne pointed to Captain Stryker beside him.

"Mr. Stryker and I, as people associated with Piccolo, also attended the discussion."

"Of course, we both agree that we should take responsibility for Piccolo's 'present' and let him stay and live."

Stryker added with a laugh, "They also criticized me, saying I shouldn't have brought Pike to Tokyo, and even more so, I shouldn't have let martial artists fight him."

"..."

At this point, Dr. Payne paused.

"Approximately one billion people worldwide launched a vote on this issue."

"In the end, there were 500001572 votes for 'putting it back' and 500000543 votes for 'living together'."

"By a margin of just over a thousand votes, the modern world has concluded that Pico should be put back into the rock salt layer."

Dr. Payne could only sigh helplessly.

"For Piccolo, this is a pitiful conclusion."

"For humanity, this is an incredibly foolish conclusion!"

“Those fools don’t understand at all. Even if we put Pico back into the rock salt layer, it’s just putting the problem to the future and using high-sounding humanitarianism as a cover.”

Dr. Payne, a top scientist, felt only sorrow at this moment and earnestly told those around him:

"Leaving problems for the future is tantamount to permanently closing the door to solving them!"

"..."

Stryker sighed as well. "Pico will probably be sealed away again soon."

Upon hearing this, both Wang Ma and Hao Hongye were somewhat displeased, and even wanted to see Pike again to try and do something else.

The next second, something unexpected happened.

Swish!

Bai Mucheng reached out and grabbed Dr. Payne's collar, pulling the old man a few steps away.

"—Huh?!"

At the same time, the remaining three also sensed something and jumped back to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud "boom," some huge, heavy object suddenly fell from the sky and crashed onto the street in front of everyone.

The five people traveling together, along with a few passersby, all looked up and were stunned.

What appeared before them was a gigantic "Tyrannosaurus Rex dragon head"!

"This...this is...!!"

Everyone's eyes widened immediately.

Its origin is unique in the world, and it comes from the Tyrannosaurus Rex that Pico hunted!

Someone cut its head off!?

Who is it...?

Then, a figure darted over, sat cross-legged on the Tyrant's head, and gave the obvious answer—

Pi Ke.

"..."

Pico sat cross-legged with his arms outstretched, looking down at the astonished crowd before him, without saying a word.

Of course, it can't actually talk.

Even so, everyone could still understand Pike's thoughts.

"Thank you, Streiley, thank you for bringing me to Tokyo."

"Thank you all too, and to everyone else, this is a thank-you gift for you..."

Goodbye!

After a brief silence, Pico leaped up and disappeared into the park beside the street, vanishing without a trace.

And just like that, Pike disappeared into the Tokyo night...

"..."

Dr. Payne paused, then laughed with a touch of melancholy, "Haha, Pike has made the whole world laugh...!"

Wang Ma patted the Tyrant's Dragon Head and asked, "Is this a thank-you gift? How are we going to eat it?"

Shiraki recalled, "I ate it raw, and it tasted great."

Helpless, Hao Hongye, as a doctor, advised, "You should still roast it before eating..."

Captain Strei grinned and said, "That's right, I haven't eaten at a World Heritage Site yet!"

Only Dr. Payne realized what was happening and felt a huge headache coming on. "Hey! Even if it's a gift, modern people shouldn't just eat world heritage sites!"

"..."
