cluck cluck~~
After letting out one last cry, the owl flapped its wings and flew into the night.
Everything is quiet.
The sky was dark and there wasn't a ray of light.
The shops on the street were all tightly sealed, and the occasional light that appeared was from lanterns lit by night watchmen to accompany their chants.
"Be careful with fire!"
As the sound faded and the light dimmed.
A burly figure appeared in the darkness.
"Costa, get out here."
"You've completely disgraced me! Everyone else's missions went smoothly, but mine has encountered some setbacks." Several figures walked out of the alley.
There were at least fifty people, but everyone was injured.
"Sorry, boss."
Costa felt his face burning.
"That guy's Armament Haki is too strong; our attacks can't break through his defenses at all."
"Forget about breaking through their defenses, I can't even get close to them. It's like they're wearing transparent armor."
Transparent armor?
"That guy has mastered the flow of Armament Haki, so it's not surprising that you lost to him."
"Lead the way, let me see just how strong that Flower Hero Goro really is!"
"Watch out for the fire—who are you people?!"
"It's curfew now—uhhhhh!!"
Hanafza casually shook off the unconscious watchman and looked ahead.
It was just time for the samurai to change shifts, and the watchman's shouts drew their attention.
"Yalalala~~~"
"Listen up, samurai!"
"I am Hanafza, and those good-for-nothing bastards from the other day were all my subordinates!!"
"Get your boss out here! I want a one-on-one man's duel with him!"
"There's a bad guy!!"
One of the samurai ran towards the mansion that occupied a large area.
Soon after, a piercing metallic clanging sound rang out.
The entire compound seemed to awaken like a pack of wolves opening their eyes.
The warriors launched a charge.
Hanafza spat to the side, and his body rapidly swelled and deformed.
roar--!!!
The spiny dragon roared and charged forward.
"It's useless, useless, useless!"
"Get out here, Hyogoro! Are you only capable of bullying my men?!"
Its sharp teeth bit into several warriors, and blood splattered everywhere as it tore at them.
The piercing sound of a pool ball rang out.
His cold, vertical pupils glanced at the warriors attacking his scales, a hint of disdain flashing across his face.
"Rubbish."
The dragon's body spun, and its tail lashed out.
A group of samurai cried out in alarm and were sent flying backward.
"Boss, that guy's here!"
Costa, having just killed one man, leaped onto the wall and slowly moved toward the pistol he was gripping in his right hand.
Arm yourself!
Bang--!!
One bullet was fired first.
But he was knocked away by a blade that gleamed with cold light.
"Hahaha, that's the aura of a powerful being!"
Da da da·
The sound of wooden clogs quickly stepping on the stone ground could be heard.
Shh!
Hyogoro, who had taken to mid-air, wore a hearty smile.
"I'm the Hei Goro you're looking for!"
"Who goes there!?"
The Spinosaurus shrunk to its human-beast form, raising its scythe to block the enemy's slashes.
The thin membrane covering the moist pupil moves away, revealing the glassy pupil behind it.
"That's the aura of a real man, hahaha VN"
With a twist of his left wrist, the iron ball attached to the end of the chain flew out rapidly.
It blasted straight at Hyogoro.
He channeled Armament Haki into his palm.
With the appearance of the transparent armor, the meteor hammer, which should have hit its target, was deflected by an inexplicable force.
"It's here, it's that move, boss!!"
Costa hurriedly shouted, "It must be flowing Armament Haki, no doubt about it!"
"I know!"
Hanafza stared intently at the enemy, grinning as he said:
"A decent opponent. Looks like I've struck gold."
"Costa, Delon, hold off those warriors! I'll deal with their leader!"
At the same time, a fire suddenly broke out deep inside the courtyard.
Hanafza raised an eyebrow and looked over.
"Oh, looks like your hideout's on fire. My men are like cockroaches that can't be killed."
Hyogoro stepped back with his right foot, and pinched the tip of the horizontally held blade between his left index and middle fingers.
"It's not too late to put out the fire after we defeat you."
"Flower-Slaying Sword Style~~"
His blue curly hair flew up, and at that moment, Hyogoro looked like a raging demon.
An inexplicable aura enveloped his entire body.
"Angry hair—"
"Light Worship!!"
A massive flying slash broke free from the narrow blade!
Instead of dodging or retreating, Hanafza charged towards the flying slash.
The scythe in his hand suddenly turned pitch black as it was enveloped in Armament Haki.
"Yalalala!"
Bang! Sizzle!
After letting out an angry snort, the muscles in his right arm suddenly swelled up.
Hanafza swung his scythe upwards, and the flying slash was drawn into the sky by an even more powerful force.
Then he gripped the chain tightly with his left arm and swung it around.
The meteor hammer once again transformed into a streak of black light and shot forth!
But this time, before the enemy could use the Ryuo to deflect the meteor hammer, the shadowy figure struck first.
With a twist of its buttocks, the dragon's tail lashed out and wrapped around the enemy's waist.
"Now, I'll show you what a real man is!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hanafza suddenly dropped his weapon and threw a punch at the enemy's face.
Ora ora ora!
The heavy punches landed one after another.
The warriors who were stopped by Costa looked anxious.
"Boss!!"
"Boss Hyogoro, fight back!"
Bang--!!
Another powerful punch landed, but this time it was caught by a hand with thick calluses.
The small, dark blue glasses shattered into pieces, revealing the eyes behind them.
"Not bad punches, outsider. Now, let me show you some of Wano Country's specialties!"
Hyogoro stepped on Hanafza's thigh, then used his entire body to push backward and upward, quickly breaking free from the dragon's tail.
With a forceful pull of his arms, which were gripping the enemy's fist, he yanked his body back onto the battlefield.
Arm yourself!
Bang-!
Their heads collided, and the friction of their dark Armament Haki produced sparks that only metal could produce.
He loosened his grip and unleashed a punch entwined with flowing cherry blossoms!
Hanafza's eyes rolled back, and he fell backward.
A few broken teeth flew out from between slightly parted lips and tongue.
But soon, Hanafza regained his senses, tensed the muscles in his right leg, and forcefully stopped himself from falling.
The eyeball returns to its socket.
The muscles in his previously relaxed right arm tensed up again, and then he lashed out with an uppercut like a whip.
The fist successfully hit Hyogoro while he was still in the air.
cough!
Fresh blood mixed with saliva was coughed up.
Hyogoro clenched his teeth and held on tightly.
The body uses the force to fly into the air, spinning as it does so.
The imposing wooden clogs were brought towards the enemy's heart.
Hanafza, who was nearly out of breath, kept backing away.
"Boss Hanafza!!"
"Boss Hyogoro!"
The two sides immediately separated.
The samurai stood in front of Hyogoro, their eyes filled with worry as they called out to him.
The former members of the Lizard Pirates, who had broken out of the mansion and joined Costa, swarmed forward, blocking the samurai's view of Hanafza.
"Get out of here!"
The overlapping sounds came.
"This is my battle!"
"This is a man's battle!!"
"A real man would never rely on his subordinates for personal gain, you bastard!"
Hanafza removed her tattered clothes and mask.
Remove the metal gloves you are wearing.
His lips curled up, revealing a warlike grin that showed several teeth missing.
"Hey, Hyogoro!"
"The battle isn't over yet!"
"A man like you wouldn't fall for a punch like that!"
"—He really is a strong man."
Pushing aside the samurai, Hyogoro walked to the front and dropped the sword he had just unconsciously picked up.
Get into a boxing stance.
Let me reintroduce myself.
"I am Hyogoro, the chivalrous hero known as 'Boss' by everyone in the Flower Capital!"
"Who goes there?"
"Hanafza, the pirate!"
As if sensing the unusual situation, both Costa and the group of warriors slowly retreated.
The two elders, who had been introducing themselves, stepped aside to clear the open space outside the courtyard.
"I felt the fairness and justice from your fist."
Hyogoro took the opportunity to adjust his breathing.
Once his breathing had calmed down, he took turns stepping forward with his legs and charged towards the enemy.
"The reason why men are expected to stand tall and upright is because they must be honest and upright people!"
Bang--!!
Hanafza took the blow head-on with his face, his body leaning back, but he was quickly pulled back by the powerful force of his core.
He then threw his own fist.
Heigoro grunted, his eyes widened, and his right leg instinctively took a half step back, shoveling into the mud and sand.
"I don't need you to teach me how to be a man!"
Another punch came flying in!
Hanafza spat out blood, which splashed onto Hyogoro's face.
The second punch!
Hanafza was also stained with the blood of his enemies.
The third punch!
Fourth, Fifth
The punches are getting faster and faster!
Half a minute later, all the samurai and pirates could see were two men standing still, fighting each other.
Until the first ray of reddish sunlight appeared on the horizon.
The fist stopped.
The two men looked at each other's bruised and swollen faces and burst into laughter.
The laughter suddenly stopped.
Under the witness of dawn, two fists slammed into each other's cheeks.
"This is the final punch!!"
"I am the real man!" / "I am the real man!"
