Super Fighting Tokyo.

Another powerful punch landed.

But this fist wasn't thrown; it was "thrown out."

Following the enemy's movements, Baki's fists "arbitrarily"—as if guided—strike out repeatedly, hitting Pike.

Snap! Thud!

Taking advantage of the gap in Pike's punch, Baki threw two quick counter-punches, hitting Pike's face in succession, causing his eyes to tremble uncontrollably.

……

……

Not far away, Musashi had already retreated to the side of the corridor inside the courtyard.

Although the battle was interrupted, Musashi wasn't too angry, because his curiosity and desire to find out more overshadowed his minor displeasure.

Pico and the boy...

Musashi stood with the others, watching the battle unfold on his own.

When he noticed that Pike couldn't do anything to Baki, but Baki's attacks were consistently effective, he stroked his chin and nodded approvingly.

"Yes, the boy's line of thinking is correct."

Musashi smiled faintly, "While Pike's physique is top-notch, in the instant before he attacks, he becomes consumed by appetite, anger, fighting spirit, and so on..."

"Muscles that should be as hard as steel will relax during battle because they forget they are being attacked."

"That's the perfect time to strike."

Musashi gestured with his hand and said with a faint smile, "In this way, even if it doesn't cut into the bone, it will still make him bleed and seriously injured."

"No matter how primal and resilient his body may be, bleeding is inevitable."

"In this way, we can corner Piko!"

"..."

As everyone listened to Musashi's words, and because his description was so detailed, they couldn't help but think of the scene of Pike dying from blood loss.

Meanwhile—

Bang!

In the battlefield between Pike and Baki, a muffled thud suddenly rang out, followed by Pike dodging to the side and darting around in the spacious courtyard.

Swish swish! ! !

That Pike used lightning speed to move, actually to avoid danger!

Despite his massive size and strong muscles, he had no advantage and was helpless against Baki Hanma, forced into a desperate situation!

So Pi panicked and ran around the yard, using both hands and feet to escape!

Whoosh whoosh!

The reinforced courtyard wall was trampled into pieces by Pi Ke, with broken bricks bursting open and even large footprints appearing out of nowhere.

Baki also pushed off the ground and moved to the side, continuously chasing Pikachu, and could not shake him off no matter what.

"Hoo ya ya ya!"

Pike's roar echoed throughout the courtyard.

……

……

Musashi watched this scene and couldn't help but admire it.

"Yes, it doesn't care what others think, it shouts loudly, and it even uses all four legs to escape."

"What untamed wildness!"

"but……"

Musashi smiled helplessly at this point, "The boy is right. Although Pike is a wild beast, he is not a samurai."

"Although I could kill many times, it's ultimately just child's play, and I have no interest in it..."

Chapter 684 My Heart is in Turmoil

Baki's fist struck Piko in the abdomen;

Baki's kick, if it hits the groin;

A backhand arc punch to the face, a palm strike to the knee, and an elbow strike to the upper arm!

Those incredibly powerful techniques, those amazing and complex moves, terrified Pi Ke, even bringing him to tears and leaving him utterly bewildered.

Whizzing!

No matter how fast Baki moved, even if it was too fast for the naked eye to catch, he never left Baki's side and stayed close to him.

The despairing physical disparity and the chasm-like power gap were overcome by the [Champion's] fighting techniques.

Bang!

Another high kick from above, delivered just as Pike was about to counterattack—his muscles were at their most relaxed—and a powerful counterattack was launched.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Pi Ke was kicked away, tumbling through the air before crashing heavily to the ground outside the courtyard.

"..."

The primitive man, having exhausted all other options, began to tremble.

He made no attempt to hide his fear.

However, when Pike looked up again at Baki who was approaching step by step, he could not see any appetite in the other person.

Piccolo's fear vanished, replaced by bewilderment.

"Snoring..."

Finally, Pike stopped moving or attacking.

He realized that his situation was completely different from the "hunter" life he was familiar with, and it defied all common sense.

He was attacked, but his opponent wasn't hunting; he was protecting.

Thinking of this, Pi Ke slowly got up, wiped the blood and tears from his face, and turned to leave with a look of melancholy.

Tap, tap, tap, tap...

He walked to the street corner in deep thought, making a low "snoring" sound, and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Baki shook his arm and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But at that moment, Miyamoto Musashi suddenly raised his hand and reminded him, "Wait, Pikachu, don't you want to eat me anymore?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Pi Ke turned his head to look at him.

After being thoroughly beaten by Baki and experiencing that feeling of powerlessness, Pico seemed to have learned something.

Therefore, when Pico looked at Miyamoto Musashi again, he no longer saw the "Deinonychus," but the "bee" that had caused him so much suffering.

bee--

This creature, though its skin cannot name it, clearly remembers everything about it.

Even if you defeat it, you won't die; in fact, if you eat it, it will explode in your mouth and cause excruciating pain.

Therefore, for Pi Ke, "bees" are something he doesn't care about not being able to eat.

"..."

Looking into Miyamoto Musashi's eyes, Pike suddenly became alert; the guy in front of him was also a "bee"!

Thinking of this, Pike became even more frightened. Trembling, he quickly walked away and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

Musashi didn't give chase, but helplessly pursed his lips, "Hmm, I don't want to chop down a guy who's trembling and running away in a sorry state."

"Speaking of which..."

Musashi looked up at the sky, his expression thoughtful.

“Pico, when you realized that the boy was ‘not edible,’ you stopped eating him. You also realized that ‘eating me would get you killed,’ so you gave up on eating me as well.”

"—You can do something like that."

Musashi smiled helplessly and shook his head.

He looked at Bai Mucheng, said "Excuse me," and then left without saying anything more.

"...?"

Upon seeing this, Tokugawa was immediately filled with doubt, "Mu...Musashi?"

The old man couldn't understand what Musashi was thinking either, so he could only hurry to catch up, sweating profusely with anxiety.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

Dr. Payne wasn't worried about Piccolo, but he was certainly curious about Piccolo's actions.

To satisfy his curiosity, the professor greeted Shiraki Cheng and then jogged toward the street where Piccolo had left to find out what was going on.

……

……

Pico, Musashi, Tokugawa, Dr. Payne.

The four people left one after another.

At this moment, Baki Hanma finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his numb shoulders as he chuckled and murmured in awe.

"Isn't this enough for Pi Ke? Mr. Headquarters..."
