Black-robed Superman from a certain American comic book

"F*ck! Free agent..."

The leader looked at the burly man, whose forehead was covered in sweat. As a member of the glorious Free Nation, no one was unfamiliar with the captain of the New Global Guard, the eldest son of the Omnipotent Man, the Free Man.

"Boss, should we get out of the car, put our hands on our heads, and squat down, or should we just kneel down?"

The newcomer looked at his boss and asked how to deal with encountering a free agent.

"Are you kidding me?"

"We earned the money through our own abilities, so why should we have to return it just because he arrives?"

"There's no reason! This isn't freedom at all!"

As he spoke, the leader pulled out his M16 from between his legs and opened fire on the libero.

"Da da da da..."

Bullets flew swiftly from the gun in the leader's hand, countless bullets instantly piercing the windows of his beloved car and landing on the Free Man's body.

"Ding ding ding..."

The bullets struck the Free Man's body as if they had landed on an incredibly hard alloy, causing no harm other than sending up countless sparks.

In no time, the man wielding the gun had emptied his weapon of bullets.

"Can we get off now?"

The free man stood with his hands behind his back amidst the smoke of battle, looking at the ruthless bandit, and spoke softly.

"F*ck! Go to hell! You monster!"

Hearing the free man's words, the thug cursed angrily and sped away, stepping on the gas.

"Suck~"

After the thugs left, the free man didn't rush to chase after them; instead, he took a deep breath.

"Yes, it's the taste of freedom!"

Smelling the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air, the Free Man gave a resounding affirmation. In the Japanese-style world of *One-Punch Man*, he hadn't smelled such authentic gunpowder in a long time. Seeing his hometown bank robbed again, he felt a sense of familiarity. Yes, it was the smell of freedom…

"Big brother, we just attacked a free agent, are you sure it's okay?"

Inside the car, several robbers questioned their leader.

"No problem! These mere superheroes wouldn't dare do anything to us!"

The leader seemed to have plenty of experience dealing with superheroes; he knew that at most they'd be arrested and sent to a labor camp for further study—who in this country hadn't been to a labor camp before?!

"Zizzizi..."

The great free man stared at the fleeing vehicles, his eyes gleaming red!

"boom!"

With a roar, the off-road vehicle's fuel tank was instantly ignited, and it flew into the sky amidst flames and explosions.

"Surprise! Mother f*cker!"

Watching the car being blown away by the explosion, Freeman flashed a free-spirited smile typical of the Free Nation; he was quite different from the other superheroes!

Chapter 86 The New Global Guardian Program

"boom!"

Looking at the streets filled with the roar and flames of the explosion, the Free Man, who had successfully dealt with five bank robbers and brought a sense of peace to Free Country society, smiled with satisfaction and took to the sky. He didn't concern himself with firefighting, rescue, or arrests; those were the work of Free Country, the fire department, private hospitals, and the police, and were not within his purview. His mission was simply to eliminate evil, regardless of the aftermath. Everything before him was merely the price to pay for eliminating evil.

"Let me see the next incident..."

Jupiter floated in the sky, using his super hearing to search for the next job that required the intervention of superheroes.

This kind of job isn't hard to find; after all, this is a free country where shootings happen every day...

In the afternoon, Jupiter returned to the Global Guard headquarters to prepare for the daily meeting.

The clone Kate, Black Samson, Atomic Eve, Beast Girl, Robot, and Shrink Ray are all here.

"Welcome..."

Jupiter, who had arrived at the conference room early, was dressed in a black and white suit, with his hands behind his back and facing away from everyone, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery outside through the window in front of him.

"Jupiter, why didn't you come to school today?"

Eve looked at Jupiter, who had his hands behind his back, and asked a question.

"Because I'm doing something more important."

Upon hearing this, Jupiter turned around and looked at Eve with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Eve looked at Jupiter but didn't go forward. She felt inexplicably that Jupiter was a little unfamiliar to her.

“Jupiter, no, Free Man, I just received a message from Cecilia. You destroyed more than thirty streets in one afternoon. What were you thinking? We are superheroes, created to protect this world and this country. We have never been destroyers. What you are doing is no different from those criminals.”

Black Three Sun frowned slightly and walked up to Jupiter.

"so what?"

Jupiter remained expressionless, as if he had expected this.

"Therefore, I believe that although you have power, you are not mature enough and do not have the heart of a qualified superhero. I do not think you are qualified to be the captain of the Global Guardians!"

After going around in circles, Hei Sansun finally returned to his goal.

"Ha ha……"

"So, besides me, who in this world do you think is more suitable for the position of captain than me?"

Jupiter gave a cold laugh after hearing Black Samson's words.

"I!"

"As one of the original members of the Global Guardians, although I left for a period of time for my own reasons, I dare say that no one knows the work of the Global Guardians better than me!"

"You may lack experience, but that's okay. I have enough experience to help you grow."

Black Sun addressed Jupiter and the others in the room, explaining his ideas.

"Ugh……"

Upon hearing this, Jupiter sighed helplessly, turned around, and faced away from Black Samson, looking quite disappointed.

"what do you mean?"

Black Samson felt insulted when he saw Jupiter not facing him directly.

"Black Three Grandsons..."

Jupiter softly murmured the name of the Black Samson while raising his right hand.

Jupiter's right hand formed a semicircle with his thumb and forefinger, making a pinching motion.

"Forehead……"

Instantly, Hei Sansun felt something lodged in his throat.

"Clap clap clap..."

Hei Sansun kept hitting his own neck, his face contorted, and cold sweat poured from his forehead before he knelt down on the ground.

It was at the moment Hei Sansun knelt down that he suddenly felt his neck loosen, and air could finally flow through his throat again.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Hei Sansun gasped for breath, staring in horror at the snow-white cloak and broad back in front of him.

"Black Three Sun, don't let power choke you..."

Instead of constantly teaching others how to work, why don't you start by doing your own job well, for example, by rediscovering the superpowers that have left you?

Jupiter withdrew his hand, putting it behind his back again, and simultaneously withdrew the telekinetic power that had been controlling Black Samson.

"you……"

Hei Sansun watched Jupiter's retreating figure with a gloomy expression, but ultimately said nothing.

"Very good, it seems you have no objections."

"Since that's the case, then let me explain to everyone the reason for gathering you all here."

“In fact, starting today, I think it is necessary to reform the entire All-Round Guard, including the hero system.”

Jupiter turned around and looked at the crowd as he explained his purpose.

"reform?!"

Eve was a little confused; she didn't understand what Jupiter meant.

“That’s right. Based on the lessons learned from the previous Global Guard, I don’t want to see that day happen to us.”

"Therefore, I believe it is necessary to reform the entire hero system!"

"The hero system should be made more reasonable and complete, rather than allowing individuals to become superheroes simply by wearing a mask or outdated technology, even if they have no superpowers or have lost them."

Jupiter then shared his thoughts.

"..."

Black Three Sun said he was being subtly criticized again, with comments about wearing outdated technology and losing superpowers. They were talking about him, right? They really were talking about him, weren't they? Right?

So what should we do?

The robot instantly understood Jupiter's idea and asked a question.

"Bring all those who aspire to be heroes into the Global Guardian family!"

"Of course we need their registration information, including their real names, etc..."

"This will allow the Global Guard to grow from a small group of a few people into a righteous organization of hundreds or thousands of people!"

"And all heroes preparing to become members of the Global Guardian Team will be ranked equally, into C-rank, B-rank, A-rank, and S-rank! And missions will be assigned according to the superpowered individuals' abilities to reduce casualties, increase efficiency, and effectively combat evil!"

Jupiter looked at the robot and recounted what he had learned from the One-Punch Man world.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the robot remained silent, but a glint of light appeared in its eyes.
