Flashy Flash's Miserable Day

After dealing with matters concerning the Neo Heroes, Oboro left immediately.

However, he was unaware that everything he did had been observed by both factions.

Although his soul power can control everything, there is one weakness in the world of One-Punch Man... that is technology.

The Neo Heroes was able to be established and challenge the Hero Association in a short period of time involves not only the super conglomerate that invested in it, but also many other forces, and is not simply about recruiting heroes.

"Hmm... Judging from this person's abilities, it would be unimaginable if he were to become a disaster. But he probably... hasn't reached the level of a god yet."

In a secluded room, Metal Knight. Dr. Bofoi, an S-class hero of the Hero Association, watched the footage of Juli, who was kneeling on the ground after making eye contact with Oboro. Zhu Li and muttered to himself, deep in thought.

Indeed, the various facilities and structures inside the Neo Heroes's headquarters building were all built using his technological achievements.

He had been quietly observing this so-called New Hero Association for a long time and infiltrated it at the right time.

Although he is officially a member of the Hero Association, that doesn't stop him from doing both.

In his view, this Neo Heroes would also have great value if it were to rise to prominence in the future.

However, the appearance of Oboro now seems to have slightly altered the future direction of the Neo Heroes.

This time, the enemy broke into the Neo base but did not cause any substantial damage or casualties... they merely took control of the force.

"Let's analyze the data on his abilities he just demonstrated... This person is a variable, but also a good research sample... If... if we could conduct some experiments on him and use technology to obtain some methods similar to his... then..."

Dr. Bofoi wriggled his buck-toothed mouth, becoming more and more excited as he thought about it.

"It seems the Hero Association is also looking for this person... Should we notify them?"

"Forget it... Once Sekingar finds out, this person will be exposed to 'sight,' and it won't be so easy for me to intervene."

On the other end, there was also an al-Qaeda organization hidden outside the social system.

In a dimly lit room, figures stood in the darkness, staring at the images on the screen before them.

This is the 'headquarters' of the Organization, and also the research lab for manufacturing various new-generation mechs.

They witnessed firsthand what Oboro did in the lobby on the top floor of Neo.

Among the heroes summoned by Neo's leadership was a test subject for the Machine God experiment. The equipment the subject wore had the function of real-time monitoring and video recording, in order to collect all the data generated by all test subjects after using their equipment.

As luck would have it... the entire scene was captured on camera.

"Is it murderous intent? It's like a mental attack... Judging from the host data transmitted back, his brainwaves are abnormally disordered, and he has clearly broken down."

"However, this is a bit too absurd... Our chosen guinea pig is an S-class hero, yet he was so frightened by a single glance that he lost his will to fight... Can the killing intent emanating from a person really be that strong? Besides, killing intent is, frankly speaking, just a stimulation of a creature's survival instinct, not a tangible thing. Even if this guy named Oboro has some kind of mental ability, it's impossible for him to reach this level, right? Judging from the data we obtained from scanning his body, he... seems to be just an ordinary human, only with slightly higher physical strength."

"To achieve this level of bioenergy with humans is a bit too outrageous."

At that moment, a hatch in the secret room opened, and a robot walked in with heavy steps.

"No information was found related to the target... This person seems to not belong to this world. The intelligence we have gathered is largely consistent with that of the Neo Association, all starting from a certain period of time ago, that is, after the man fell from the sky... Before that, the information is completely blank."

"Um?"

"Could it be, like that Tatsumaki, another experimental subject of some organization?"

"You mean... Tsukuyomi?"

In the sky above the apartment in the no-man's-land, Long stepped out from within the space.

I sensed it and found that the bald demon king wasn't there; he must have already left.

It then quickly flew down to the ground.

But... as he prepared to go home, the dilapidated scene on the street made his expression change.

At an intersection not far from the apartment, the surrounding houses and buildings were completely destroyed, and the area was quite large... It seemed that a fierce battle had taken place.

"A weirdo?"

He mumbled incoherently.

Slowly approaching the detected signs of life.

Finally, I stood before this person.

"..."

Long stared at the person lying in the ruins before him, eyes rolled back, already unconscious, and was speechless for a moment.

He naturally recognized the other person.

Long golden hair, a cross-shaped headdress... a black bodysuit over a metal armor, and a white cloak.

Flashy Flash, ranked 13th among the S-class heroes of the Hero Association.

Oboro looked around again at the buildings and ground destroyed by the battle.

These things were clearly destroyed by swift and sharp strikes... In other words, this ruin was created by Flashy Flash alone after he used his ability. As for the person who fought him, it was most likely Saitama... and Saitama probably 'instantly killed' Flashy Flash, because Oboro could not see any trace of Saitama making a move from the traces left on the battlefield.

Why is he here?

Long squinted slightly. "You came looking for me?"

"That bald guy knocked the person unconscious and then left?"

Long was somewhat speechless.

Even though the area around the apartment is relatively safer in the entire no-man's-land, it is still a place where monsters roam. Moreover, the Monster Association is lurking beneath the entire no-man's-land... This is an S-class hero. If he is found by a monster, Flashy Flash will surely die in his current state.

The Monster Association's information gathering on the Hero Association is also very comprehensive.

"Hey... you're not dead, are you?"

"Wake up."

Oboro crouched down, patted Flashy Flash's cheek, and called out.

With his wake-up call, Flashy Flash finally let out a painful groan, regained his senses, and woke up.

In the instant the pupils focused, almost instinctively, a dazzling blade of light shot straight towards the Oboro Slash.

Flashy Flash Slash, Flashy Slash!

With a casual wave of his hand, Long deflected the blade's edge, maintaining his crouching posture... He looked at the man before him and dodged far away as if electrocuted.

Besides his incredibly powerful physical body, One Piece still possesses the Haki power he had in One Piece. However, after joining One-Punch Man, in order to assimilate and integrate into the power system of this world, his power was transformed into something similar to 'aura', but the effect was not diminished.

Oboro yawned, shook his hand, and glanced at the wary-looking Flashy Flash. "This is not a place to sleep... you'll die here."

"Where's that bald guy?!"

With a cold expression and bloodshot eyes, Flashy Flash asked directly.

He practically had the words "revenge" written all over his forehead.

"Have no idea."

Long shook his head.

Flashy Flash was furious, but his ninja 'discipline' forced him to remain calm.

He glanced at the sky and thought to himself, "I was unconscious for so long?!"

"Um?"

After briefly recalling the events before and after he lost consciousness, he seemed to notice the appearance of the man in front of him who had woken him up.

"It's you!"

Flashy Flash's expression changed.

This person... isn't this Oboro, the one Sekingar sent him to find? "It's me. You came to see me?"

Long raised his hand again, readily admitting it.

Judging from Flashy Flash's reaction, his guess was pretty much right: the Hero Association had also taken notice of him.

"You know that bald guy?"

"Flashy Flash questioned."

"..."

"We're neighbors, and besides, he has a name. Isn't it a bit impolite of you to just call him 'bald'?"

Flashy Flash ignored him, "That bald guy's matter... let's put it aside for now, I won't let him get away with this!"

"You...come with me."

Where to?

"Hero Association".

"Sorry, I'm a bit busy... Besides, I don't even know you, why should I listen to you?"

"You don't recognize me?"

Flashy Flash paused for a moment.

He himself was a dignified S-class hero with countless fans and immense fame. Even among all S-class heroes, he ranked among the top in terms of popularity alone! This guy didn't even recognize him? "I just woke up, and my mind and body haven't quite synchronized yet... so the power of the Flashy Slash I released subconsciously was definitely greatly reduced. It's normal that this person was able to block it... but he's not some pushover either. To be able to withstand my attack like this shows that this guy has some skill."

A thought flashed through Flashy Flash mind, and a confident smile appeared on his face. "Whether you go or not is not up to you... You have no choice in front of me."

"..."

Long shook his head helplessly.

I think I understand now... why this guy got beaten up by Saitama.

After thinking it over, he decided not to pay any more attention to Flashy Flash and immediately got up and turned to leave.

This dismissive attitude immediately made Flashy Flash's eyes turn cold.

That bald guy was already infuriating enough... Now even this trash dares to disregard him?

Whoosh! In an instant, like lightning... Flashy Flash flew behind Oboro and raised his fist.

He planned to beat the man until he was incapacitated, teach him a good lesson, and then take him away.

However... with a snap.

Everything seemed to be happening again.

The man didn't even turn his head to look at him; he simply swung his hand casually, and the incredibly hard palm was faster than him, striking his face first.

As if struck by a heavy Flashy Flash, the approaching body tumbled countless times in mid-air, spitting saliva, and flew far away.

Flashbacks flashed through Flashy Flash's mind. The bald man, facing his countless dense sword strikes, One-Punch Man him in the abdomen the instant Flash was close... and then, nothing more.

A loud thud.

Flashy Flash's body tumbled to the ground and crashed back into the rubble, where he passed out.

"Can't you understand human language? Really..."

With his hands in his pockets, Oboro muttered a complaint.

He controlled the force of his strike very well.

Originally, she planned to go back to her apartment, but after thinking about it... she walked up to Flashy Flash and touched his forehead with her fingertip, altering the latter's memories.

He erased all memories related to him and Saitama.

Only after doing all this did I lift my foot and walk away.

Half an hour later, Saitama, who had gone out to buy pajamas, returned carrying a plastic bag.

As I passed this intersection, I saw Flashy Flash again, sprawled out on the ruins and stones.

"Huh? Still not awake?"

"This body is way too weak..."

Saitama tapped his cheek with his fingers and said a few words.

He could tell that the blond man was quite strong, so he wasn't worried about him getting hurt. With the power and control of his punches, the man should have woken up long ago... How strange.

Then, without paying any attention, he strode towards the apartment.
