Boom!!!
A powerful roar echoed.
A mighty crescent-shaped slash, like a giant curved moon, thundered down onto Saitama in midair!
Fubuki, witnessing this, was instantly even more shocked.
In the space where the slash had just passed, a misty trace appeared, as if it could not withstand the overwhelming power!
One could imagine just how terrifying this strike was!
Originally, Fubuki thought Saitama's defense was quite good, but now she suddenly felt worried for him.
However, what happened next was something Fubuki never expected.
This time, the slash unleashed by Ryuu Kumo landed on Saitama, but unlike before, it did not send him flying.
At that moment, the overwhelming blue light froze just before hitting Saitama.
It looked as if it had been blocked!
Seeing this, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on Fubuki's delicate face.
Such a powerful and terrifying slash was actually stopped? How was that possible!?
But then, as if confirming her thoughts, the crescent-shaped slash completely froze in place.
The sky filled with blue light, as if an invisible giant wall was blocking it!
In the next instant, with a shake of Saitama's hands, that enormous crescent of blue light shattered explosively right before Fubuki's stunned eyes!
"Hiss!!!"
Fubuki gasped sharply.
This scene was even more shocking to her than the slash being blocked.
Saitama had actually crushed the terrifying energy of Ryuu Kumo's slash with his bare hands — what kind of power was this!?
At that moment, she suddenly felt something strange.
It seemed that the vaccine man who had rampaged through City A just now was nothing special after all.
Compared to that, Ryuu Kumo and this suddenly appearing bald man named Saitama were the real monsters!
And now, these two monsters were fighting right in front of her eyes!
Thinking this, Fubuki instinctively flew back a little.
She seriously doubted whether City A could still exist by the time these two finished fighting.
On the other side,
Seeing Saitama shatter the slash wave, Ryuu Kumo's hawk-like eyes narrowed.
Though he had expected this, the scene still shook him deeply.
After all, the power he wielded now was that of the greatest swordsman in the pirate world!
Such power was easily crushed by Saitama!?
Amidst his shock, Ryuu Kumo grew even more excited.
Was this the strongest power in One Punch Man!?
In a daze, Ryuu Kumo suddenly felt something like the sensation Dracule Mihawk had when facing Whitebeard.
In fact, Ryuu Kumo's memories did include scenes of Dracule Mihawk and Whitebeard meeting.
But the two had never truly fought, and the power gap between them was only estimated by Dracule Mihawk based on various intelligence and his own judgment.
In short, Whitebeard deserved the title of the strongest man in the pirate world, but Dracule Mihawk was not afraid; instead, he harbored the desire to replace him.
At this very moment, Ryuu Kumo's mindset was just like that.
To put it bluntly, Saitama was just a homebody favored by the author, gaining astonishing power.
Essentially, he was no different from Ryuu Kumo, who had obtained a system.
If that was the case, why couldn't he replace Saitama and become the strongest in this world!?
Then, perhaps because of Ryuu Kumo's wild thoughts, suddenly his role-playing completion as Dracule Mihawk began to rise again!
"Ding! Current role-playing completion +2%!"
"Ding! Current role-playing completion +2%!"
These notification sounds felt like encouragement, fueling Ryuu Kumo's fighting spirit even more.
Just as Saitama's figure landed ahead, Ryuu Kumo stepped forward, sword in hand, and charged.
Swish swish swish!!!
On the way, the black blade Yoru in Ryuu Kumo's hand transformed into a chaotic flow of light, its sharpness fully revealed.
As Saitama just landed, he was immediately surrounded by a cluster of sword light.
The fierce blades covered nearly 365 degrees with no blind spots.
But at that moment, Saitama's figure suddenly began to create illusions.
He burst out with terrifying speed, weaving through the sword light!
Most astonishingly, at this moment, Saitama not only unleashed incredible speed but also reacted swiftly.
Before the sword light could fall, he had already slipped through the gaps and in the blink of an eye closed in on Ryuu Kumo, preparing to throw an ordinary punch.
Ryuu Kumo's Observation Haki immediately gave an unprecedented warning.
In that instant, his hawk eyes flashed, and his fighting spirit exploded even stronger.
The black blade Yoru in his hand transformed from a slash to a cut, releasing a cyan-blue slashing wave once again!
Boom!
An explosion-like ripple rose from the ground, and Saitama's figure was sent flying into the air.
Ryuu Kumo immediately perked up and swung his sword fiercely at the airborne figure, but his expression changed in the next moment.
The figure in midair suddenly became intangible—it was just an illusion!
At the same time, Saitama's figure suddenly appeared right in front of Ryuu Kumo, then swung an ordinary punch straight at him.
At that moment, it was like a mountain collapsing, the power overwhelming!
Ryuu Kumo's gaze darkened, and he quickly changed his sword stance.
The black blade, wrapped in Armament Haki, boldly met Saitama's fist.
Boom!!!!!!!
A deafening explosion!
Fubuki, hovering in midair, immediately changed expression drastically.
At this moment, although she was far enough from the battlefield, she was still affected by the aftershock, pushed back repeatedly by the strong wind.
In front of her eyes, the battlefield had turned into a chaotic domain.
At the center, an incredibly terrifying power spread wildly, ravaging everything around.
Buzz!!!
The power reached its peak and suddenly exploded.
Fubuki's beautiful eyes flickered as she suddenly saw a figure flying backward from the center of the raging power.
At first, she thought it was Saitama, but upon closer look, she was stunned.
The figure flying backward was dressed as a Western swordsman, holding a jet-black long blade—none other than Ryuu Kumo, playing the role of Dracule Mihawk!
The two collided head-on, and this time, it was Ryuu Kumo who was sent flying!?
