Opening his eyes, Garou straightened up even before Cognac had time to heal him.
" That ? How? "
Looking around, he noticed that he was on the stands, much to his surprise.
" I ... I lost ? "
" You were useless. " Roared Quitela, pointing at him. " How could you have lost so miserably against a warrior from Universe 7? You made me ashamed ! "
Barely listening to him, Garou ended up looking at the arena, where Frieza and Frost were now fighting Joa.
" I lost ? " He repeated.
" Hey, I'm talking to you, you suck. "
Suddenly, Garou surprised both Kuru and Cognac by grabbing Quitela by his neck. Beginning to strangle him with one hand, Garou rose to his feet, while directing his gaze to the God of Destruction.
" Don't do that again! Don't ever call me 'suck' again. "
" Grrr! Let go of me. " Quitela ordered him, pointing her hand at him. " I will disintegrate you. "
Nevertheless, putting his staff in front of Quitela's hand, Cognac decided to intervene before the situation escalated.
" Quitela-sama! Garou-san! A little restraint, please. "
" Is there a problem ? " Wanted to know the high priest, looking in their direction.
Starting to growl, Garou then ends up letting go of Quitela. However, as Garou went to sit down, he looked at the field again. Leaving Frost to fight Joa, Frieza now looked at Garou. Then a mocking smile appeared on his face: Frieza didn't care about him.
" Motherfucker ! " Garou roared, leaning over the stands.
" No, stop. " Kuru ordered him, starting to belt him.
Struggling, Garou stared at Frieza angrily. He couldn't lose to him. Garou was invincible. Invincible.
" Garou-san, can I ask you to calm down ? " Asked the high priest. " Otherwise, we will be forced to take disciplinary action. "
Garou immediately glared at him. Someone dared to give him an order? Never. He would never tolerate such humiliations. Letting rage control him, he stared again at Frieza, who suddenly motioned him to come onto the pitch, with her mocking smile.
More and more angry, Garou wanted to kill him. To humiliate him. Destroy it. Make him erase his damn smile. Frieza only won because Garou let his guard down when their fight was over. If he hadn't rushed headlong to finish the fight faster, he was sure he would have won.
However, Garou suddenly calmed down. He wanted to keep fighting. Still, he wasn't stupid enough to do the irreparable. As much as he regretted to say it, he had known from the start of the fight that Saitama was surely the most powerful fighter on the pitch. What is the point of trying to break the rules if it's to be eliminated and disappear before fighting Frieza?
If his team won, Garou could always train more and improve. And one day, he swore to himself to find a way to revive Frieza, to humiliate her. Finally, for this reason, he ended up crossing his arms, before sitting down. Beside him, Kuru sighed, Cognac just smiled and Quitela groaned while affirming.
" We will talk about this after the tournament. "
" Mugiwara, you are the worst opponent I have ever faced. " Budo asserted.
Standing in front of him, Luffy had his body covered with electricity, while Budo attacked him three times with lightning. But apart from having his clothes somewhat burnt, Luffy was unharmed and remained standing in front of him.
" Sorry about that. " He excused himself, scratching the back of his head. " My body is immune to poison and electricity! My body is rubber. "
" Tsss! That's what I was saying! You are the worst opponent for me! Even if I manage to get you off the field, I would waste too much energy unnecessarily. "
Finally, concentrating his lightning in his hands, he aimed at the ground, before hitting it. The lightning immediately created a cloud of smoke and gusts of wind that made Luffy retreat. Embarrassed, he closed his eyes for a few seconds. Then, when he opened them again, he saw Budo running away.
" Hey, come back here. "
Running at full speed so he could follow him, Luffy started chasing Budo. Nevertheless, an explosion occurs not far from him and the smoke it produces blinded Luffy for a few moments.
" Ah no, not yet. " He growled.
Pushing aside smoke with a wave of his arms, he finally found that Budo had taken the opportunity to flee. He was nowhere to be found.
" Hin, he spun! Hey, lightning dude! Where are you ? "
Looking for him as he stepped here and there, Luffy suddenly turned around, to press his hands in time against the blades of a sword.
" Oh, nice reflex. " Sonic confessed.
In response, Luffy tried to kick him. Sensing it coming, Sonic let go of his sword and used his speed to dodge the attack.
" It seems to me that you are very fast. " The ninja remarked, finding himself behind Luffy's back.
" That ? " Said the latter, turning around, only to see that he had disappeared again.
" But me, I'm even faster than that. " Sonic continued, appearing again from behind his back.
Turning again, Luffy wasted no time looking for him and immediately swung his fist at him. However, once again too fast for him, Sonic only smirked, while Luffy's fist only brushed against him. Then running, he found himself in front of Luffy, and kicked him in the face.
Leaving back, Luffy sprawled out on the ground, while Sonic had fun running and jumping all around him.
" I am here ! No, there! In fact, I am here! In short, I am anywhere! I'm so fast no one can see me. "
Standing up then, Luffy glared at him, trying to see him clearly.
" Where is he ? "
" Here. "
Appearing then to his left, Sonic kicked him in the chest, which threw him back against the ground.
" A sort of … " Luffy said, getting up.
" I'm here. "
Slapping him on the back, Sonic knocked him forward, before resuming his leap in all directions.
And so, he amused himself hitting Luffy over and over again, every time he got up.
" So ? Too fast for you? Normal, I'm Sonic! The best ninja on Earth! No, from all universes! You'll see, I'll beat you and the others! And then, with the dragon balls, I could finally have the strength to beat that damn bald head. "
Hit over and over, Luffy took the attacks without flinching, and didn't even try to retaliate.
" Hey well then? My speed terrifies you of her so much that you can't fight back? In that case … "
Suddenly leaping into the air, Sonic ends up falling straight back towards Luffy, while raising his leg.
" I will end it right away. "
Yet in a quarter of a second, Luffy disappeared from sight, only to be right in front of him.
" That … ? "
A phenomenal punch then hit him in the face, making him flutter up to a pile of rocks. Exploding on contact, it eventually fell and crushed Sonic under the rubble. First in the clouds, the ninja however had the necessary strength to move the stones crushing him. Standing up, he showed many wounds as well as a big bruise where he had been hit.
" How? How could you? "
Looking at Luffy, he was surprised to see smoke all around him.
" GEAR SECOND ! "
Noting that he was up to something, Sonic hurried to run before jumping back and forth again.
"What is he doing?" It doesn't matter! If he had me earlier, it must be thanks to a stroke of…! "
Feeling frozen, he made out Luffy's presence, right next to him, despite the fact that he was moving at full speed.
" What … ? "
" JET PISTOL ! "
Barely able to see Luffy's fist, Sonic dodged it at the last minute, feeling Luffy scratch his cheek.
" But how ? "
Jumping onto a new rock, he abruptly changed direction.
" It's impossible ! He can't … "
This time, he stopped dead, seeing Luffy appear right in front of him, surrounded by smoke.
" Is he faster than me ? "
" Forget about it. " Luffy advised him. " Compared to Rayleigh's, your speed isn't worth much. "
" What ? " Sonic enraged. " Who do you think you are, you brat? Do you have at least an idea of how many years I had to train to acquire it? What's a mosquito like you worth to me, eh? "
In response, Luffy positioned his arms back, before throwing them like submachine gun bullets.
" GUM GUM GATLING ! "
Trying to calm down, Sonic managed to see Luffy's fists and began to dodge them one by one while getting closer to him.
" Calm yourself ! A ninja should always stay calm in the middle of a battle! If you show fear for a single moment, the fight is already over for you. "
Suddenly seeing an opening, he ran straight to Luffy, before leaping into the air.
" SHURIKEN ! " He shouted, throwing several projectiles.
Distinguishing them in time, Luffy crossed his arms in front of him and covered them with haki to block them. Thus, he managed to avoid being injured. However, the weapons exploded upon hitting him. Taking advantage of this diversion, Sonic landed behind him, and picked up his sword on the ground before charging him.
" I got you, Mugiwara ! "
Yet for the second time his sword came to a halt. Gripping his blade in one hand, Luffy had stopped it like nothing had happened. Despite the bleeding, he continued to grab the weapon without wincing.
" What do you think ? I too have trained for many years to have this strength. "
" Oh yeah ? " Said Sonic. " And why are you fighting? "
" To save my friends. " Luffy roared, while breaking Sonic's sword.
Taking a step back, Sonic finally asserts.
" I see ! As I see it, the importance of friendship can sometimes force people to push their limits! In this case, I have no other choice! I will try my best technique on you. "
" Hey you ! "
Turning around Saitama saw Dyspo walking towards him, arms crossed.
" You are the bald guy who made his show earlier, from the start of the tournament, right ? "
Staring at Dyspo, Saitama suddenly sported a serious gaze. Immediately, feeling like he wanted to attack him, Dyspo moved into a defensive position. Analyzing Saitama, in an attempt to attack him, he was surprised to find that Saitama's defense was perfect, despite the fact that he didn't move a millimeter.
" What does it mean ? It has no opening. "
" I found … " Saitama suddenly announced.
" What ? "
"What did he find ? A way to defeat me? My weak point ? How could he analyze me so easily? "
At that moment, Saitama pointed at Dyspo before declaring with a blissful smile.
" You are a rabbit, aren't you ? "
Big silence.
" What ? "
" I wondered what animal you were! Finally, I found it! You are a purple bunny, aren't you? "
In an instant, Dyspo's foot hit him in the face, causing him to crash into a rock.
" Tsss! How could I have overestimated you so much? You're just a second-rate fighter. "
Falling to the ground, Saitama straightened up almost immediately. Then, running his hand over his face, he noticed that his nose was bleeding.
" I'm bleeding again ? "
" I'm Dyspo of the Prides Troopers! I am the third most powerful person in my universe! As well as the fastest being! Saitama, you think you're super cool but actually, you're insignificant. "
" Ah yes ? "
To prove it, Dyspo started to run straight towards Saitama, and kicked him in the stomach. Surprised, Saitama gasped. He had felt pain, it was as painful as his last colic. Yet, seeing him stand still as his kick used to knock anyone down, Dyspo ran all around Saitama, still claiming.
" The next shot will finish you off. "
Finding himself behind his back, Dyspo ended up closing his fist and wanted to hit him on the back. However, upon impact, Saitama's body shifted slightly to the left. So Dyspo struck the void. Then, a moment later, he let out a shrill cry, feeling Saitama hit him in the stomach. Falling to the ground, Dyspo curled into a ball, moaning in pain. He felt like Saitama had just sprayed his stomach.
" But how … ? "
" It was easy for me to see you running all around me. " Asserted the bald hero.
Groaning at once, Dyspo rose to his feet, before resuming running around Saitama.
" Stop playing smart! I'll beat you in one fell swoop. "
However, he caught sight of Saitama right in front of him, and the man punched him again that hit his chin. Stunned, Dyspo let himself fly back, before hitting the ground on his back.
" Dyspo ? " Bermod wondered.
" Am I dreaming ? " Khai wondered, as surprised as the god. " This guy happens to see Dyspo running. "
" It's not just that. " Retorted Marcarita. " It looks like Saitama-san is also able to equalize his speed. "
" What ? "
" How is it possible ? " Dyspo asked, getting up with difficulty.
Seeing him do it, Saitama kept his jaded face.
" I who believed you to be a stimulating opponent! It's really boring. "
Angered by this comment, Dyspo clenched his fist. Nonetheless, he ended up displaying a confident smile.
" I see ! I have to admit that I underestimated you! Still, do you really think I'm that reliable? "
Gritting his teeth, he roared.
" Who do you take me for? I'm Dyspo of the Prime Troopers! I never let my target get away! Because in the end, I catch up with her with my speed. "
He started running again at that point, except this time, using his maximum speed, he moved so fast that even Saitama couldn't see him.
" What ? " He wondered.
A kick hit him at speed, causing him to back away. Wincing slightly in pain, he received another blow, as Dyspo took revenge for his former humiliation.
" Here is something I have planned especially for a guy like you! I admit that I wanted to use it against Son Goku from Universe 7, but you will do just fine. "
Hit in all directions, Saitama could not retaliate and had to withstand attacks one by one. And each time, he felt his body aching. For the first time since the start of the tournament, someone was really hurting him. He was cornered.
Seeing this, Kuru got scared.
" It will be impossible for Saitama-san to be able to hit him. "
Even Quitela could admit that he had the greatest difficulty discerning Dyspo because he was so fast.
" Damn it! No way we lose another warrior! Not now ! "
Finally, after a few seconds, Dyspo finally stopped and found himself in front of Saitama, who remained still. Seeing him thus inert, Dyspo questioned him with a broad smile.
" So what's going on? You suddenly became very silent! Even you're right to show yourself so scared! Universe 11 will have no trouble fighting you and your team. "
" Why did you stop ? " Saitama stopped him. " Attack me again. "
" How ? "
" Attack me again! Attack me. " Saitama ordered him, clenching his fist. " Attack me with all your might, never stopping. "
" Are you sick or what ? " Dyspo asked him. " Or hitting you so much you have detracted from the brain! But hey, you don't have to ask me to finish you off! I'll be done right now. "
Starting to run again, he hit Saitama in all directions. Taking all the attacks, Saitama stood with his arms outstretched, seeming to savor the pain that Dyspo's attacks were giving him.
" Yes that's it ! Continued ! Attack me! Again and again. "
" But what does this idiot do. " Roared Quitela. " Is he losing on purpose or what ? "
Remaining silent, Garou only fixed Saitama's gaze. Finally, he asserted.
" He is preparing something for her. "
" What ? "
" Damn it, it's been a long time since I felt this. " Saitama asserted, finally showing a real smile. " This feeling of danger and adrenaline! Thank you very much, rabbit! This is my first correct fight in a very, very long time. "
" Correct fight ? " Dyspo wondered, stopping again. " That's all ? "
" Go ahead, show me everything you can do! Don't hesitate to show me each of your attacks and then I will defeat you! I'll crush you! And at the end of this tournament, the only person who will still be standing will be me. "
" Be careful what you say. " Dyspo roared. " Because you will regret it! Want to see my best attack? OK, here we go. "
Suddenly running in circles, it increased its speed rapidly, to the point that a tornado formed. Then, running straight towards Saitama, he transformed into a real shooting star and his foot brutally struck Saitama's face. Flying immediately, Saitama's body pulverized rock after rock, before ending up under a pile of rubble. Dyspo had just knocked him out with that powerful kick.
" And there you go. " Dyspo asserted. " As the saying goes, `` a dog that only knows how to bark will never be able to win! ''
" What? That's all ? "
Opening his eyes, Dyspo saw the pile of rubble move, while Saitama rose to his feet. Despite the trace of Dyspo's foot on his face. Despite the many blows he had just received. Despite the fact that he was now bleeding all over his face, Saitama was still standing, showing his confident smile.
" But how ? " Dyspo wondered, stepping back. " It's impossible ! I should have defeated you. "
Seeing Saitama walking towards him, Dyspo wanted to run away. Nonetheless, fixing Saitama's gaze, he felt his whole body start to shake.
" Damn it, but who are you? "
" Me ? I'm just a hero. "
Then, appearing to teleport, Saitama positioned himself in front of him, with both arms back.
" Here is a real attack. DOUBLE IMPACT PUNCH ! "
Striking Dyspo's abdomen at the same time, Saitama's two fists make a sound of broken bones. Bleeding, Dyspo's body flew backwards, crossing the entire field. And even hitting several rocks doesn't slow him down.
" TOPPO ! " Creates Belmod.
Still facing Reiner, Toppo turned around and saw his teammates rush straight into the void. Dodging a punch from the titan, he rushed straight towards Dyspo and managed to get in front of him.
However, barely did he manage to catch it when the impact between their bodies pushed him back. Startled, he felt his feet slip back, as the void was only a few feet behind him. Gritting his teeth, he did his best to stop himself, as Saitama's punch seemed to be more powerful than all of his power.
However, managing to swell the muscles in his arms and legs, he managed to stop, before falling into the void. Then exhaling, he let Dyspo's body fall to the ground. Coughing up blood, his comrade still moans in pain, while Saitama seems to have broken several of his ribs. Even though Toppo had saved him, he was no longer in a condition to fight. Somehow, Saitama had knocked him out of this tournament.
Falling on his butt, Bermod watched his two warriors, while his mouth was wide open.
" It's ... it's impossible. "
" How could this have happened? " Wanted to know Khai. " Did this Saitama beat Dyspo so easily? Is this a joke? "
For his part, raising his fists in the air, Quitela sneered.
" Hahaha! I love this guy! As long as he's on the pitch, Saitama will win us over! Continued ! "
" Cognac-san! " Cried Kuru, turning to the angel. " Where does this warrior come from? Who is he ? How did he manage to be so strong? "
Content to keep his smile, Cognac advised him.
" Why not wait until the end of the tournament to ask him? Moreover, Quitela-sama has promised him a fight, if our universe wins! And to tell you the truth, I wonder if I'm not going to bet on a victory for Saitama. "
" What? " Quitela wondered. " Don't say stupid things ! This guy can never beat me. "
" I hope for your pride. "
Meanwhile, Bermod was tearing his hair out, while seeing Saitama walking towards Toppo and Dyspo.
" It is not possible. " Cried Khai. " We were completely wrong in our calculations! Son Goku is not our worst enemy! It's that guy. "
" JIREN ! " Belmod shouted, directing his gaze to his warrior.
However, his eyes opened that moment, as did Helles'.
Walking towards Jiren, Midora was right in front of him. With folded arms, he stared at Jiren, whose eyes remained closed.
'' But what is he doing ? " Wanted to know Khai.
" MIDORA ! " Cried Pell. " This guy is dangerous! Don't stay there. "
Pretending to ignore him, Midora stood still, staring at Jiren. Finally, the man opened his eyes. Staring at each other the two warriors faced each other. Then, finally two auras could be seen from the stands.
Two all-stars were going to fight. Midora from Universe 2 and Jiren from Universe 11.
