Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

Then, with a deafening roar, the heavens and earth trembled.

The Dark Octopus King, its head and large eyeballs blown apart, was dragged over by Saitama, who was holding onto one of its tentacles. "President, how do we cook this to make it taste better?" "Hmm... how about we ask Katakuri?" "Oh right, he said he'd treat us to special takoyaki." And so, the two of them went to find Katakuri.

At this moment, Katakuri, completely dumbfounded, had his jaw agape, wide enough to fit a tire. "Wow~ this guy's mouth is huge."

Saitama looked at Katakuri with some surprise and said, "I didn't even notice him. He was actually this tall?"

Indeed, Katakuri is very tall, a full 5 meters from head to toe!

Keep in mind that a floor is only about three meters high, while Katakuri is almost two stories tall.

Therefore, it's no wonder that Saitama was amazed by the other person's height.

After all, Katakuri isn't a monster; he's a human.

"That...that thing just now, did you make it?"

"Hmm, what's wrong? Is something strange?"

Saitama didn't understand what Katakuri was trying to say. To him, he had just thrown a punch. Was that so strange?

Katakuri swallowed hard, staring at the huge missing piece on the black octopus king's body.

He looked at Saitama's face, which was completely different from his usual style, and his undeniably striking bald head.

"Are you..."

"I forgot to introduce him. Here, this is Saitama, the second vice president of League of Legends after Doraemon."

Zhao Chen stepped forward and gave Katakuri a brief introduction to Saitama.

Upon hearing Zhao Chen's introduction, Katakuri looked at Saitama in astonishment. He extended his hand and said, "Hello, Vice President Saitama. I am Charlotte Katakuri, the head of the Charlotte Family. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, hello."

Saitama, still as unassuming as ever, extended his hand and shook hands with Katakuri.

Although he didn't sense any aura or energy from Saitama, Katakuri understood one thing after witnessing how Saitama easily defeated the Black Octopus King with a single punch.

That is, the difference in strength between himself and Saitama is too great.

We're not even in the same league—or rather, we're not on the same level.

Saitama's strength has surpassed the level that Katakuri could even begin to fathom.

Only such a strong person is qualified to serve as the vice president in League of Legends!

Katakuri, who admires the strong, wanted to spend more time getting to know Saitama, but the various disturbances and chaotic noises coming from his earphones made him feel terrible.

"President, things are not looking good. The first line of defense against the sea dike is about to collapse."

"They can't hold on anymore!?" Zhao Chen was puzzled. Why did they always break down whenever something happened in Africa?

Zhao Chen, somewhat enraged, frowned and asked, "Where's Yugi Muto? Where's Reinhard? Where are those people from Noxus? And what about Whitebeard, Kaido, Shanks, and the others? Are they all dead?!"

"President, please calm down!"

Sensing someone's anger, Katakuri's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained, "The situation is like this: Minister Muto and Lord Reinhard have both gone to suppress the center of the disaster that broke out at sea."

"As for the Noxus people, they are all stationed on the first line of defense against the sea dike, along with Whitebeard, Kaido, Shanks, and others."

"If there are so many people here, why are you saying you can't hold on?!"

Zhao Chen glanced at Katakuri: "Could it be that someone is sabotaging me, deliberately holding my teammates back?"

"That's absolutely not true!" Katakuri's scalp tingled with tension. "The reason we couldn't hold on is because the sea level is rising too fast; it's almost overflowing the seawall..."

"As you know, President, our weaknesses as Devil Fruit users are limited to seawater, in addition to being countered by Seastone."

This explanation was barely acceptable. Zhao Chen nodded, rubbing his smooth chin with his left hand and crossing his right arm, saying, "If that's the case, then what are Yugi Muto and Reinhard, those two S-rank guys, doing?" "With their abilities, is it really that difficult to deal with an octopus?"

"President, there are more than one black octopus king this big in the sea." "I know, I'm not talking about the ordinary octopus you're thinking of." "This is just...ordinary?"

Katakuri was shocked by Zhao Chen's words. Could it be that there was a larger and stronger leader in the sea than the Dark Octopus King? "Let's go and take a look ahead."

"But President, the area ahead is flooded and surrounded by sea. The only way to get there is by boat..." "Enough nonsense. With me here, what are you babbling about? Follow me."

Looking at Zhao Chen, who was walking on the sea as if it were flat ground, Katakuri felt that he had nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Saitama curiously touched the surface of the water with his toes, and after confirming that he really wouldn't sink, he stood on it.

The three of them walked on the waves at a seemingly normal speed, but with the help of Zhao Chen's Phoenix Power, it was actually 4.1 times faster than teleportation! He could show off superhuman skills like shrinking the distance between people in no time.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the first line of defense against the sea dike.

Looking at the grand scene of the atmosphere cracking, dragons roaring, and sword energy crisscrossing, Zhao Chen immediately recognized whose moves those were.

Whitebeard's earthquakes repeatedly deflected towering waves back.

Kaido's Azure Dragon Breath swept across the sea, instantly filling the air with a fresh and fragrant aroma.

Red-haired Shanks' slashes were incredibly fierce; any black octopus king that emerged from the sea would be instantly killed with a single strike.

As for the Noxian warriors, they were all incredibly fierce.

LeBlanc, the Deceiver. LeBlanc unleashed her Phantom Chains, ensnaring a giant red octopus. Then, the elusive Katarina flashed and landed on the octopus's forehead, piercing its central nervous system with a dagger—a clean and swift move.

Chapter 174 Whitebeard: I'll take the hit!

"Aaaaaah—I'm going to eat you all up!!!"

Kaido, the Azure Dragon, was caught off guard by three black octopus kings who used their tentacles to capture him. They tightly bound him from head to tail and pulled him towards the water. At the critical moment, a powerful and domineering blade of light came to his rescue.

After the blade severed the tentacles, Kaido immediately seized the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven.

Immediately afterwards, Kaido unleashed a powerful breath, turning the three black octopus kings into a delicious seafood soup.

Watching Kaido bite off a huge octopus tentacle from the seawater and tear and gnaw on it incessantly.

On the seawall, Shanks, who had previously helped Kaido, couldn't help but find the situation somewhat absurd.

Just then, a small wave crashed over the seawall, wetting Shanks' upper body.

Shanks removed his wet straw hat, his smile vanishing as he gazed at the rising tsunami waves on the distant horizon, his heart filled with worry. "Damn it, the sea level is rising again. If this continues, we'll have no choice but to retreat to the 23rd seawall."

"Gurararara—Red-haired brat, are you doubting that I can handle that tsunami?"

Holding a large naginata, the white-bearded figure stood alone on the seawall, constantly unleashing the overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki within him.

Faced with Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki, apart from the two large octopus monsters, the Red Octopus and the Poisonous Blue Octopus, whose strength reached the Demon-level (B) Disaster, which could be ignored and approached, the other weaker octopus monsters dared not provoke him in the slightest.

However, even if a group of giant red octopuses and poisonous blue octopuses attacked together, in the end it was nothing more than a single punch from Whitebeard.

Splash! Splash! "Awooo~!" "Awooo~!"

A crisis is looming.

Nearly a hundred large red and poisonous blue octopuses, led by five black octopus kings, rode the nearly forty-meter-high tsunami towards the seawall.

It is important to know that once a tsunami strikes a coastal city, a tsunami of just ten meters in size can cause significant casualties and incalculable property damage.

Just reading about it might not convey how terrifying the power of a tsunami truly is, so let's take an example.

The tsunami that occurred in an island nation in Asia in 2011, aside from issues such as nuclear leakage, let's just talk about the tsunami itself.

The tsunami triggered by the earthquake rushed toward the east coast at a speed of 800 km/h, and created tsunami waves with peaks reaching up to 10 meters high.

This wave directly caused 18,000 deaths and indirectly affected the forced relocation of 450,000 people.

Countless houses and buildings were destroyed, but the most serious damage was done to the island nation's stock market and economy.

The World Bank even estimated that the island nation would suffer losses of at least 230 billion US dollars from this tsunami!

It will take the island nation at least five years to recover from these losses. This gives an idea of ​​just how severe the tsunami disaster was.

Right now, if this terrifying tsunami, nearly forty meters high, were to hit, not only would the port of Aden sink, but also coastal port cities in countries like Berbera, Bosaso, and even Djibouti and Yemen would suffer! "Damn it, if only that old lady Charlotte Lingling were here."

Gazing at the ever-rising tsunami crest, Shanks put on his straw hat and grumbled under his breath.

Whitebeard couldn't help but curse the juvenile, baby-like old woman who died young.

Her Soul-Soul Fruit ability was clearly the most useful in this situation, but unexpectedly, she died in the previous battle against Noxus.

Facing the ever-approaching tsunami, Whitebeard composed himself, his spirit and energy reaching their peak. "Leave the tsunami to me, and those octopus monsters to you, okay, red-haired brat?" "Heh~ A man can't say no, Whitebeard." "Ouch—you two, why are you excluding me!"

Kaido, the Azure Dragon, descended from the low sky, his enormous dragon head, with smoke billowing from its nostrils, managing to squeeze right in front of Whitebeard and Shanks.

Hearing Kaido's booming voice, Whitebeard slapped him across the face in annoyance. "Stay away from me when you talk, you bastard! Your drool's flying everywhere!" "Ouch—Whitebeard, you wanna fight?!"

"Haha, alright, alright, please give me some face and stop arguing."

Seeing that Kaido was about to go berserk after being slapped by Whitebeard, Shanks quickly stepped in to mediate.

Using a combination of persuasion and reasoning, Shanks pointed to the approaching tsunami and said, "Let's work together to resolve that tsunami problem first, otherwise things will get very serious." "Hmph!" Kaido glared at Whitebeard, then whipped his tail, preparing to take flight. "Remember this, Whitebeard." Completely disregarding Kaido's threats, Whitebeard thought to himself, "If he dares to come, I'll beat him up."

At that moment, Shanks leaped into the air and used Moonwalk to land on Kaido's dragon back.

Seeing Kaido and Shanks ready in the air, Whitebeard on the seawall also began to prepare.

With a thud, he planted the large naginata at his feet.

Whitebeard raised his arms, and his muscles instantly bulged and swelled, with blue veins popping out, even bulging on his neck and forehead.

Armament Haki, a blend of black and purple, covered half his body. His white beard, radiating an aura of power, stared intently at the massive tsunami before him and roared, "—Everyone!!! Stand firm!!!" —【Seaquake】!

As Whitebeard threw a punch, it struck the air heavily in front of him.
