Super Fighting Tokyo.

As for the origin of that monster crocodile, there are some theories online, such as it was a saltwater crocodile that was abandoned by its owner and grew to a gigantic size in the sewer.

Although its size was abnormally large, in Pike's experience it was just a "little dinosaur".

finally……

The monstrous crocodile was completely exhausted. Pike grabbed its tail with one hand, and its whole body trembled helplessly.

Then, without paying attention to the other onlookers, Pico dragged the giant crocodile's tail and walked straight to the drainpipe next to him.

The drain pipe connects directly to the Tokyo sewer system and is about two meters in diameter.

The enormous crocodile's body was estimated to be 2.5 or even 3 meters wide, and it would be even wider if you included its limbs.

So in reality, it's impossible for that crocodile to "climb" into the drainpipe.

But Pike didn't care about any of that. He dragged the crocodile by the tail and walked straight in, actually "pulling" the crocodile's body and squeezing in alive!

Gara gara...

The crocodile's body clogged the drainpipe, squeezing it until it made a cracking sound, followed by the grating sound of flesh and bone being squeezed together.

Squeak...

As they went deeper, the crocodile's body was squeezed and deformed by the pipes, and the excess "flesh" was forced forward, piling up in a circle around the crocodile's head.

This scene caused everyone present, as well as several people in the ward, to twitch their eyebrows and eyes, and inexplicably experience phantom pain.

It must have been incredibly difficult to squeeze in like that, and it must have hurt a lot!

But the pain didn't last. The crocodile's spine was broken, and it died. As a lump of prey, it was dragged into the drainpipe by its skin and disappeared into the pipe.

"..."

It was clear that the police officers and reporters at the scene were all staring wide-eyed and speechless.

That's incredible arm strength! It's like a bulldozer...!

"--above!"

The host exclaimed in shock:

"As you can see, a giant crocodile resembling a dinosaur has appeared on the scene, as well as—a mysterious humanoid monster that suddenly appeared and is hunting the crocodile!"

……

……

At the same time, at the residence of Tokugawa Mitsunari.

bass!

A sharp blade slashed down, splitting the Tokugawa family's expensive LCD TV in two, along with the "Pico" logo on the screen.

Click...

The TV screen went black.

Miyamoto Musashi sheathed his sword, but looked completely bewildered. "Huh? I definitely saw him...where did he go?"

He searched everywhere for Pike.

At this moment, Tokugawa, who was standing nearby, panicked and shouted, "Idiot!"

Tokugawa felt a chill run down his spine. While unplugging the TV, he said helplessly, "What's the point of cutting off the TV! It's just transmitting signals...cameras...via satellites..."

The old man rattled off a long explanation of how the television works, until he was sweating profusely.

Musashi didn't understand.

"so--"

Musashi pressed on, "Who was that person?"

"..."

Tokugawa paused for a moment before replying, "Pico—the primitive human Pico, who mainly fed on dinosaurs, was the strongest warrior of the Cretaceous period."

Musashi's eyes widened, and he imitated the new word in confusion, "Fear... style? Is it a school of thought?"

Tokugawa took a deep breath and started rambling again, saying things like "New Mexico, rock salt layer, 200 million years".

He spoke so loudly he was almost breathless, but Musashi didn't understand a single word.

"so--"

Musashi got back to the topic, "Where is that Pikachu now?"

Upon hearing this, Tokugawa, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, revealed a playful smile and asked in return, "Are you very concerned about Piko?"

Seeing that Tokugawa was in the mood to joke, Musashi responded with great interest.

Swish!

An invisible sword slashed diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, striking Tokugawa's body—a rather careless kesa slash.

Tokugawa was startled.

Musashi then stroked his chin, pondering, "As an enemy, that skin is still too green, but—"

"Hmm, interesting."

Musashi changed the subject, smiling expectantly, "The strength of those who haven't been trained is, in a sense, similar to my own."

"I want to see him, Tokugawa."

Musashi looked down and saw that Tokugawa was still complaining about the slash he had just received, so he squatted down and made a chop motion with his hand towards Tokugawa's neck.

Musashi ignored everything else and simply urged, "Let me see him."

……

……

Inside a ward at Imperial University Hospital.

Honbu Izo said in a deep voice, "That Miyamoto Musashi, once he sees Pike, he will care about nothing else but seeing him."

"Aha……"

The department head sighed deeply and looked at Shiraki Cheng beside him, "I can't let Pi Ke be left out of the people I need to protect..."

"I want to protect Pico too!"

This is the realization of the head of the Izang sect.

However, it was precisely this unavoidable realization that made the commander feel a deep sorrow and subconsciously think of lighting a cigarette.

While everyone was engrossed in the television, he quietly pulled out the can of "Peace in a Tin" from his pocket, intending to sneak a sip.

Just one bite...

However, the nurse "Yoshizawa Kokomi" noticed the headquarters' behavior and quickly spoke up to stop it.

"No, Mr. Headquarters, smoking is not allowed even in a private room."

Kokoro looked helpless and said seriously, "If you keep smoking like this, you won't be able to protect the cavemen, let alone your own lungs!"

Headquarters: "..."

Kokomi added, "Even if you smoke at the back door of a convenience store, you won't run into a pretty clerk; you'll just get a warning from a patrolling police officer!"

Headquarters: "...?"

On the other hand, Yingchu noticed the "Peace in a Tin Can" brand cigarettes at headquarters.

"oh oh!"

When I first learned about this brand, I noticed that it was "filterless and contained up to 28mg of tar, which would be very irritating even for heavy smokers."

After saying that, Yingchu took out a body donation form and said, "Sir, it's rare that you've given me the opportunity to study this. Please sign it."

Headquarters: "...???"

Just as everyone at headquarters was wondering what was going on, another commotion came from the television.

It was a live interview.

The interviewee is a paleontologist who is a Nobel laureate in chemistry and has close ties to "Pico"—

Dr. Albert Payne.

"..."

The reporter asked curiously, "What are your thoughts on the giant creature that Pico captured, Doctor?"

Dr. Payne shook his head helplessly. "Giant creatures? In Piccolo's eyes, they're probably just a safe and reasonably portioned meal."

Another person asked, "How do you think Piccolo, who suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, has managed to survive all this time?"

"sewer."

Dr. Payne replied decisively, "The sewers of big cities can be considered ideal jungles."

"There is a constant flow of warm water, and the temperature and humidity remain suitable all year round."

Dr. Payne gave an example:

"On a whim one day, I got a special pet that I kept, and before I knew it, it had grown to a size far beyond what I expected."

"The owner, who was worried about what to do with it, secretly threw it into the sewer one night."

"But he didn't realize that it was an ideal paradise for animals."

"Crocodile, lizard, turtle, python..."

"Countless tropical creatures live in Tokyo's underground system!"

“Pico survived in such an environment.”

"..."

Dr. Payne's words not only surprised the reporters, but also shocked everyone in the ward, who felt that Payne was truly remarkable.

Shiraki Cheng laughed, "Picco, so you're living the life of a 'hunter' in the underground jungle of Tokyo!"

Izou nodded. "Piko, the primitive man, should be the first and only man in the world to live a 'hunting' daily life in modern Tokyo."

"..."
