"Kyojuro Rengoku, I, Might Guy, acknowledge your passion! You're a man as fiery as the sun! Go for it!"

Might Guy was almost moved by Rengoku Kyojuro's passion and opened the Eight Gates.

I almost died.

"An interesting man, who can actually ignore the temptation of immortality!"

"I admire such willpower and resilience! It's a pity... you can't be with me."

"Otherwise, our passion will surely change this corrupt ninja world!"

Madara Uchiha roared with unparalleled fervor.

Sensing Kyojuro Rengoku's spirit, he too had to accelerate the pace of his own plans.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Battle Begins!

After being rejected by Kyojuro Rengoku, Akaza unleashed his Blood Demon Art. "Since you don't want to become a demon, then I have no choice but to eliminate you," he said. "In that case! Activate the technique!!"

"Destruction Kill, Compass Needle!!"

In an instant, ice crystal-like patterns lit up beneath his feet, and a fierce and dense surge of superior ghost energy erupted!

boom!

Swish-!

The two figures collided instantly, the ground shattered, and countless rocks and rubble flew behind them, forming a cloud of dust and smoke.

The two figures are no longer visible in the footage.

Only the sound of fists clashing with blades echoed in this desolate place.

Swish-!

Rumble——!

A continuous roar echoed as blue lightning and red flames crisscrossed and collided like lightning.

Akaza did not use any weapons, relying solely on his fists to parry the Nichirin Blade's attacks.

Upon closer inspection, each cut would be fatal to a human, but to a high-level demon, it was merely... a mosquito bite.

Even if an arm is severed, a new arm will grow back instantly in the next second.

Leaving aside how terrifying his combat power is, his recovery ability alone is enough to shock countless powerful figures in the anime world.

Seeing this scene reminded Kaneki of a math problem he had faced before... What is 1000 divided by 7?

Pirate world.

"This is terrifying. There's actually more than one ghost like this in this world..."

Bucky was terrified by what he saw and bit his finger.

Lord Buggy panicked; his Split-Split Fruit was no match for the regenerative abilities of a demon.

"Kurara, what an amazing creature. It can fight against blades with its bare hands without Armament Haki."

"Kyojuro Rengoku is truly an admirable man! It's a pity he's not from our world, otherwise I would definitely adopt him as my son!"

Whitebeard downed a glass of '82 beer and laughed loudly.

"Disgusting ghosts, if they face my fire fist, I'll melt them in one go!"

Ace erupted with intense heat, looking at Akaza with disgust.

It's so hard being human in this world.

Fighting these superhumanly strong ghosts with cold weapons...

Not to mention, these ghosts also have all sorts of strange abilities.

"What a pity... such an imposing swordsman was born in such a poor and weak world..."

"If I were in the world of One Piece, I would definitely become a world-renowned swordsman."

Hawkeye drew his black sword, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Not being able to fight such a swordsman would be a great regret in his life.

Death world.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stared intently at Rengoku Kyojuro, his Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka blaring wildly in his hand.

"Ryujin Jakka...Are you excited too?!"

Although the demons of this world are very weak in front of him, he can burn away all evil spirits with a simple wave of his hand.

But the human body, made of flesh and blood, is no match for these beings whose regenerative abilities far surpass its own strength by dozens of times...

"Aaaaah! I really want to go in and slay these demons!"

Kenpachi Zaraki unleashed a terrifying spiritual pressure, going berserk.

It's been two days since I've stabbed anyone!

I feel terrible all over!

Seeing this, even Unohana Retsu, who hadn't fought in a long time, felt an intense fighting spirit emanating from her body, and she felt the scar on her chest burning.

Sitting next to him, Byakuya Kuchiki of the Sixth Division stared intently. Was Retsu Unohana, the woman who once made Soul Society tremble, about to make a comeback?

He knew very well how strong Unohana Retsu was.

He was no match for her; she was a strong fighter from the same generation as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

...

Video continues.

"Destruction Kill - Air Style!"

Akaza leaped into the air, a terrifying aura emanating from his fist.

boom--!

Boom boom boom boom!

Six invisible fist winds attacked Rengoku Kyojuro. Because he couldn't see the invisible fist winds, he found it difficult to defend himself. Although he tried his best to defend, he was still hit a few times.

"I see." After being hit by the fist, Rengoku Kyojuro immediately figured out a way to break the attack, proving his battle-hardened talent as the Flame Pillar.

"Breath of Flames - Feast Vortex!"

Enveloped in raging flames, he swung his Nichirin Blade around himself, creating a protective shield of flames that blocked the invisible force of his fist.

This move—the empty stance—has been perfectly countered.

Kyojuro Rengoku realized that he could not keep his distance from Akaza and had to fight him at close range to have any chance of survival.

We can't let them kite us anymore; we need a quick victory!

Swish-!

boom--!

The next second, Rengoku Kyojuro transformed into flames, vanished from his spot, and swiftly slashed towards Akaza.

Swish swish--!

Rengoku Kyojuro lunged forward, unleashing a storm of fiery slashes at Akaza.

"This incredible reaction speed and superb swordsmanship will gradually decline. Don't you think that's a pity?"

Akaza, who responded with a rapid series of punches, was excited by the fighting talent that Rengoku Kyojuro had displayed. However, thinking that this human's superb swordsmanship would decline as he grew old, he continued to urge him, "Rengoku Kyojuro!!! Become a demon!"

";"

Kyojuro Rengoku's crimson eyes revealed an incredibly resolute gaze, completely unaffected by Akaza's words, allowing him to maintain the flow of his swordsmanship.

Tanjiro Kamado watched anxiously from afar, struggling to get up and go help, but Kyojuro Rengoku noticed his movement and turned around sharply, sternly rebuking him: "Don't move! It will be fatal if the wound reopens! That's an order!"

Upon hearing Kyojuro Rengoku's words, Tanjiro Kamado was taken aback.

"Waaaaah—! Mr. Rengoku... I couldn't help..." Seeing this, Tanjiro Kamado's expression froze, his tiger eyes already brimming with tears. Even while fighting Upper Moon Kiagaza, he managed to spare a sliver of attention to observe the person he was protecting behind him...

At this very moment, Kyojuro Rengoku was in a very dangerous situation; if he wasn't careful, Akaza would kill him by trading blows.

“Mr. Rengoku... I need to train hard too!” Kanroji Mitsuri quickened her eating pace, glancing at Mr. Iguro beside her every now and then, a blush creeping onto her face.

Such a lovely girl went on a blind date with an idiot two years ago and was actually rejected by him!

"Even Kyojuro Rengoku can't beat an Upper Moon demon..." Gyomei's expression was somewhat solemn, and he increased his training plan for today several times over.

"Go, brother!" Senjuro, the younger brother of Rengoku Kyojuro, watched anxiously, silently cheering on his brother in the video.

"Genos, this is what it means to be a hero, this is the secret to my strength!" Saitama touched his shiny head and said earnestly to Genos, "This belief in protecting the weak is the secret to a hero's strength! There are no magical techniques or skills, it's just pure belief!"

“Saitama-sensei…I think I understand.” Genos’s mechanical eyes flashed with electricity as his brain began to rapidly process the hidden meaning in his teacher’s words. Before long, the temperature of his core chip exceeded the limit.

At the Mumen Rider's house, Mumen Rider did sit-ups while watching the video of Kyojuro Rengoku displaying his spirit. "That's right, this is my path to becoming a hero. I want to become stronger, just to protect more people."

Although I am weak and only a C-class hero, no matter what level of monster stands in front of me, I will rush forward to protect those weak and innocent people!

Just then, countless particles invisible to the naked eye from the One-Punch Man world entered Mumen Rider's body, slowly altering his genetic sequence and strengthening his brain's neural network.

The constraints on his body are being peeled away layer by layer, and one day he will break through those constraints and become a hero.

"Hmph, while it's foolish to be distracted in battle, I acknowledge your spirit!" Inside the Hero Association, Tornado, dressed in a black cheongsam, said arrogantly, "But an idiot is still an idiot! A hot-blooded idiot is just like a metal baseball bat!"

Upon hearing this, Metal Bat, sitting next to him, dared not speak out in anger. He held back and gave up, after all, he couldn't beat a freakish legal loli like Tornado.

Chapter 23 Kyojuro Rengoku vs. Akaza 1

Video continues.

BOOM——!

Rengoku Kyojuro swung his sword in a fierce horizontal slash, followed by a side kick that struck Akaza in the abdomen, sending him flying into the distant forest.

Akaza was incredibly excited; he was captivated by Kyojuro Rengoku's fighting prowess.

He had no intention of killing Rengoku Kyojuro and kept trying to persuade him.

It would be such a pity for such a powerful man to die like this.

"Become a demon, Kyojuro Rengoku!"

"You are qualified!"

"I refuse, I'll say it again, I hate you!"

"我

You won't turn into a ghost!

While Akaza was not attacking, Kyojuro Rengoku recovered his strength and reorganized his battle plan.

At this moment, Rengoku Kyojuro only had the thought of killing Akaza in his mind.

He continued to slash at Akaza with his sword, the Nichirin Blade wreathed in flames descending from the sky! "Breath of Flames - Third Form: Flame All Things!"

"That's great!"

"Destruction Kill - Air Style!"

Akaza's face was filled with excitement as he threw a punch!

He was shocked by the strength that Rengoku Kyojuro had displayed; this human's strength was still increasing.

Inosuke and Tanjiro Kamado, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, were both shocked and couldn't see the two men's movements at all.

I feel like I'll be instantly killed if I get even a little too close.

They can't go and help Rengoku Kyojuro, otherwise they'll only be a hindrance.

Dong Dong Dong Dong——!

"Don't you understand? Continuing to attack is tantamount to choosing death! Kyojuro!"

No matter how much Akaza tried to persuade him, Kyojuro Rengoku remained unresponsive. What did death matter...? I must follow my mother's teachings and protect the weak!

"Breath of Flame - First Form: Shiranui!"

After blocking several terrifying straight punches from Akaza, he seized an opening, shifted his body, and then turned around to sever both of Akaza's arms with a single slash. However, Akaza's severed arms instantly regenerated, demonstrating an astonishing regenerative ability.

"It would be a waste to kill you here; your body hasn't reached its peak yet!"

Akaza retaliated with rapid punches, speaking with deep regret.
