Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2348 King is so strong!
"You...you're One-Punch Man?"

Once he came to his senses, Garou immediately recognized Saitama's identity.

"Heh, you just took down an SSR-level hero and another one comes along?"

"very good!"

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was still surprised by the speed and power that Saitama had just displayed.

How could someone knock out someone who has mastered the Strange God-Slaying Fist with a single punch?

"Yes, I am Saitama, a hero who does it for fun."

"I thought my opponent was a weirdo, but it turns out he was just a guy pretending to be a weirdo. He looks pretty cool though."

"You know what? I almost lost control just now," Saitama said, spreading his hands with a helpless expression.

"Alright, game time is over. Hurry up and take off your clothes and come with me."

"what?"

The hungry wolf was furious and enraged, clenching his fists.

"How dare you so disregard me, this absolute evil? Then don't blame me."

"uncle!"

Just as he was about to charge forward with his Strange and Deadly Fist stance,

A familiar yet joyful boy's voice came from afar.

The hungry wolf instinctively turned around to look.

Sure enough, it was the kid he called 'Snotty Bear' running over.

Following behind was Bomb, the master of the Whirlwind Iron Slash Fist.

Previously, he, along with three grandmasters—Raimon Goten, Yuhime, and Onigawara—led their disciples to eliminate the robot army that was wreaking havoc in City B. After that, he returned to City Z alone to support his younger brother, Bang.

Then they encountered Ah Xiong, who had been sitting on the steps in front of the Martial Arts Association headquarters.

He said he saw Garou on TV; he was the one fighting Admiral Fujitora in City A.

Although her appearance has changed quite a bit, I can still tell the difference myself.

He also suggested bringing him to City A to meet Hungry Wolf, hoping to persuade him to stop attacking heroes.

Bump certainly disagreed at first.

But the boy just couldn't resist clinging to her leg, crying and begging, saying he'd rather walk there than not see Uncle Hungry Wolf.

Even so, Bump had no intention of agreeing.

At worst, someone can keep an eye on him at headquarters until everything settles down before sending him home.

Until Ah Xiong shouted, "I can turn Uncle Hungry Wolf back to normal!"

This was, of course, a rambling remark he made in a moment of inspiration.

But this reminded Bang of what Bang had said before: that Garou still had a conscience. Perhaps this kid could do it?
So he contacted the Justice Society headquarters and requested that a plane be sent to take him there.

"Yo~"

"You little brat, you're still alive!"

Even the freaked Garou's tone became much lighter when he saw 'Snotty Bear'.

The familiar words surprised and delighted the latter, who had initially been frightened by the wolf's appearance: "You really are my uncle!"

A series of black lines appeared on Bump's head, so the child was actually not sure either.

"And you really are a great hero!"

The little boy, his eyes filled with tears, looked up at the hungry wolf and laughed.

"what?"

The hungry wolf helplessly spread his hands: "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?"

"How do I look like a hero? Look at me carefully!"

"I am a monster, a monster who is hunting heroes, kid!"

Not far away, Bomb, Saitama, and Issho, who had just swallowed a 'Sea Beast Pill', silently watched the two exchange words.

"No!"

All that could be seen was Ah Xiong, short and plump, drenched in sweat, with snot running down his face.

At the same time, he clenched his fists, mustered his courage, and loudly denied the presence of the hungry wolf.

"You are a hero!"

"No matter where I encounter danger, my uncle will come to save me."

"To me, you are the greatest hero!"

"So please, stop playing the weirdo."

As the little boy spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears streamed down his face.

The voice was broken into sobs, trembling constantly.

"I really hate that everyone misunderstands you, Uncle. You're clearly a very, very good person!"

Upon hearing these words, the monster-like Garou lowered his head and fell into a long silence.

"So your name is Garou. You were just playing the weirdo."

"The child is crying and begging you, can't you act like a grown-up?"

Saitama walked towards Garou and Axiong while making sarcastic remarks.

He realized that Garou wasn't a monster; he just enjoyed playing monster games.

Unexpectedly, the hungry wolf picked up Ah Xiong and skillfully threw him to Bump.

"You brat, just you wait and see, from now on I'm going to completely destroy your values!"

"To show you how powerless a hero can be."

"Whether it's someone who wants to save you or someone who wants to kill you, I won't let them go."

"And I, the last survivor, will become absolute evil and destroy everything that has ever hurt me and you!"

The core of Garou's feelings for the boy is that both of them suffered a lot of bullying because they played monsters in the hero game.

Therefore, he hopes that the other person can despise heroes as much as he does, and admire the power and evil of monsters.

But Ah Xiong always held a good impression of heroes and had faith in them, and even regarded himself as a hero worshipper.

This made Garou very unhappy, extremely unhappy!

"I just defeated an SSR-level hero, that is, Admiral Fujitora. Next up is One-Punch Man!"

The wolf's words made Ah Xiong's face change drastically. He tried to break free from Bump's embrace, but when he realized he couldn't, he shouted urgently:

"Do you still want to fight the hero?"

"No!"

"If this continues, you'll really be seen as a weirdo!"

Unexpectedly, Saitama had already walked up to Garou, raised his head, and taunted him with a smile:
"You want to fight me, don't you?"

"Then come."

"He's perfect as a replacement for King. That guy is really driving me crazy, but I can't do anything about him right now!"

Thinking about his previous losing streak in video games, Saitama gritted his teeth in anger.

But his words made everyone present—including Yi Xiao, Bump, and even Hungry Wolf—remember the name King.

Especially the smile he gave King, whom he had met once before.

He even wondered to himself, "Is that man really that strong?"

The aura I sensed at the time was clearly very ordinary; he seemed like just an ordinary person.

And because the other party is an S-class hero of the Hero Association.

This led him to speculate that King might possess some kind of ability to conceal his aura.

Techniques similar to 'seeing and hearing kill'.

Now that Saitama has said this, it's basically confirmed that this is true.

King is a powerful being who even Saitama can't handle, a being driven by impotent rage!

at the same time.

Because the two sides were only exchanging information and not fighting, and there was also the live broadcast ball device brought by Bump.

This ensured that the conversation was successfully transmitted to the command center at the Justice Society headquarters.

King

Morgan William murmured thoughtfully.

He originally thought that after Saitama left, all the cards on the table had been played.

I never expected that there would be an SSR-level master in K City.

He immediately looked at Sitch and said, "Contact King as soon as possible and invite him to join the Justice Society!"

“President, King rejected us before,” Sitch sighed.

"I know, I just want you to try one more time."

"If he still refuses, tell him that he can just be a figurehead and enjoy the treatment of an SSR-level hero."

"I believe he also needs sufficient income to ensure his quality of life."

"We don't force him to carry out missions; we just need him to step in and resolve disasters on his own in times of crisis!"

Morgan William didn't know how strong King was, but he knew that Saitama was terrifyingly strong.

This is One-Punch Man, who can easily suppress Issho and Tatsumaki!
