Dohko saw that Hades was actually so overbearing, and a fierce courage surged within him! He roared angrily, "If that's the case, then let me, Dohko, collect the debt you owe my companions!"
His fist slammed viciously toward Hades...
It was the strongest punch of Dohko's life...
And also the punch that carried the most memories...
More than two hundred years ago, Italy.
On a dam, Dohko saw the most important person he would ever meet.
His future disciple, Tenma of the Pegasus Constellation, was striking a boulder again and again.
Dohko could not help but laugh. "Hey, handsome kid, what are you trying to do by hitting that huge rock? The flood is so fierce right now. If you can't break the rock, fine—but if you do break it, the flash flood will sweep you away at once!"
He was telling the truth. A mountain flood had erupted, and the mud and boulders it carried had blocked the original riverbed. As a result, the river changed course and surged toward a nearby little village!
That little village had already been soaked by the floodwaters. Though the water had not risen too high yet, it had already covered people's feet. If the river continued pouring toward the village, the flash flood might truly submerge it!
To save the village, they had to move away the huge rocks blocking the river. But everyone was too busy saving themselves—who had the leisure to go to the front of the river and move rocks? Besides, once those boulders were moved, the flood would immediately burst forth from that direction. Anyone standing below would instantly be swept away by the torrent, with little chance of survival!
Everyone would rather wait for rescue in their homes or on their rooftops than go to the riverbed
