A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

This time, Pi didn't crash into the opposite entrance passage; instead, he stopped right there on the field. With his superhuman dynamic vision, he noticed that the spot where he had just crashed was nothingness—no prey, no obstacles, just air.

Where is Retsu Kaioh?

Pi looked around in confusion, and then saw the crowd standing on the sidelines: Tokugawa Mitsunari, Homoyo, the two foreign old men, Hanon, Adam, and Kotomi, all of whom were looking diagonally upwards.

So Pico turned his head and looked, and sure enough, he found Retsu Kaioh—Retsu Kaioh was standing on a high place on the opposite stand, looking down at Pico.

"Brother Lie, that's right." Hua Yin smiled with satisfaction. Lie Haiwang's actions were exactly the advice she wanted to give. There was no "Buddha's Palm" in this world. There was nowhere above the arena to gain leverage, so Lie Haiwang couldn't unleash a palm strike that descended from the sky. Even if he could, its power would be far from enough to defeat Pike. All he could do was lead Pike into an environment where he couldn't exert his full strength: "Illuminate from above, not strike from above. This battle isn't governed by the rules of an arena, but by the rules of a primitive battle where one side concedes defeat and flees or loses the ability to move. Therefore, there's no need to emphasize winning or losing on the arena."

"Goo?" Pike was a little puzzled. This skinny little guy was fighting with him, so how did he leave the battlefield and run up there? Was he trying to escape? Like those wolves that tuck their tails between their legs when they're scared?

However, after a few more seconds of confrontation, Pico did not see Retsu Kaioh turn away. The distance between the two had increased, but Retsu Kaioh's strong fighting spirit still emanated intermittently, indicating that the battle was not over, but the battlefield had simply expanded.

Well then, let's continue playing with the little guy for now...

Facing the powerful Sea King on the high platform, Pike took a few steps back to the edge of the arena, then slightly jumped off the ground, placing his feet on the railing.

Ancient humans did not possess advanced science, but the seeds of science were sown not in theory but in practice. Early humans did not know why fire could be made by rubbing wood together, but this did not prevent them from embarking on the path of cooking with fire. In Piccolo's time, humans were far from realizing that fire could be artificially created and food could be cooked, but through long periods of combat, Piccolo had long since grasped another truth—by leveraging external forces, a charge would be more ferocious and powerful.

Sprinters use their legs to push off the ground during preparation, which is effective but also old-fashioned. However, for Pike, this is his unique hunting technique. Pike might be the first human in history to use a horizontal running start to generate power! By stepping on rocks, trees, or anything else, Pike can withstand the charge of a five-ton Triceratops, defeat a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex, and even scare away a large Brontosaurus with pain.

Pike charged diagonally toward Retsu Kaioh. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"... From the walls to the stands, all obstacles in Pike's path were smashed to pieces, but Pike's momentum did not diminish at all, and he rushed straight toward Retsu Kaioh.

Those were the strongest charges that had dominated the world since ancient times; these thunderous roars were like the horns of victory.

Unfortunately, in ancient times, Pike's fighting environment was not like it is now.

Dinosaurs are strong, but also very large. Pikachu is small compared to dinosaurs, so no matter the battlefield, Pikachu is always the more agile one, able to use the terrain to restrict the opponent's movements. Now the situation is reversed; Retsu Kaioh is small compared to Pikachu, and it is Pikachu that has difficulty moving.

When Pike charged majestically towards Retsu Kaioh, his momentum hadn't diminished, but the process took longer. Retsu Kaioh, under the spotlight, had ample time to observe, assess, and react. For example, he could calmly dodge and then kick Pike in the waist.

With a "whoosh," Piccolo's figure veered off course, unexpectedly emitting a whistling sound like an arrow, startling everyone. Immediately afterward, Piccolo's body, like a swiftly shot arrow, veered off course in mid-air and crashed into the distant stands.

"Boom..." Another loud noise came from beside Pike. It was the sound of him smashing a seat. The stands were now a mess. Pike had destroyed the stands in less than five seconds with a single charge and turn. The effect was truly amazing.

"Amazing..." Tokugawa Mitsunari murmured, then became incredibly excited! Although his businesses were destroyed, was this rich thirteenth-generation heir really someone who cared about money? Thanks to Pike and Retsu Kaioh, he witnessed a "spectacular sight"! "The destructive power of a fighter can actually reach this level? Retsu Kaioh is amazing!"

"Amazing..." Dr. Payne also expressed his amazement, but his praise was directed at a different person than Tokugawa's: "Pico, amazing!"

Author's Note: It's getting late... I've written way too much in this chapter. I thought I could finish this chapter. Let's see in the next one.

Section 741, Chapter 733: How can someone who can't transform twice have the nerve to be a BOSS?

Dr. Payne has been studying Piccolo for a long time and has a very deep affection for him. Piccolo is indeed full of admirable qualities, and the doctor can praise him without any pressure.

"Things moving at high speeds in a straight line can easily change direction. Like someone who commits suicide by shooting themselves, even if they shoot themselves in the temple, the bullet might exit through the back of their head." Dr. Payne gave a gruesome example to explain Piko's deflection: "Because all the force is converted into a straight-line thrust, applying force from the side, even a leaf from an ornamental plant, can deflect a bullet! I admit that the fighter named Retsu Kaioh is incredibly powerful, but Piko, who was kicked so far, is also an amazing feat!"

The explanation wasn't hard to understand, and everyone watching except for the poorly-educated and clueless Hina understood it. Tokugawa Mitsunari's forehead was covered in sweat: "Next... what will happen next?"

"There's no need to fight anymore," Hanon said, offering her answer.

"What?" Tokugawa was taken aback, but did not question Kanon's opinion—the two foreign old men were unaware of Kanon's strength and status among martial artists, but Tokugawa knew all too well! She said there was no need to fight anymore, so this battle probably really didn't need to be fought.

"Brother Lie!" Hua Yin called out to Lie Haiwang, "That's enough, continuing the fight will only lead to the same result!"

In fact, Kanon had thought quite a bit: At this point in the battle, Pike seemed to have run out of tricks. If he continued to use his charge attack, fighting on the special terrain of the stands, Retsu Kaioh wouldn't be afraid of him; all Pike would face was being repeatedly bounced back. Of course, given Pike's high defensive capabilities, repeatedly crashing into things or being slammed against the ground by gravity wouldn't truly harm him. If the battle dragged on, Retsu Kaioh's stamina would likely collapse before Pike's. At the same time, Pike could abandon his charge tactics and return to close-quarters combat. With Retsu Kaioh's hands crippled, it would be difficult for him to hold out until the end. Judging from the current battle situation, Pike still had a better chance of winning than losing, and could even be considered a foregone conclusion.

However, Retsu Kaioh has already completed his transformation, and in the first year of the so-called Retsu Kaioh Fist, he has taken a solid step forward. If his hands, which were initially crippled due to his inability to adapt to Pike's charge, were restored, then Retsu Kaioh could not only easily break through Pike's charge, but also suppress Pike in close combat using Chinese martial arts techniques. The two can be said to each have their own strengths. Pike's stamina and defense can ensure that he survives to the end and becomes the actual survivor, while Retsu Kaioh's skills make him the winner on the field, and he can suppress Pike until his stamina is exhausted.

King Liehai wanted to see his limits and know how his Chinese martial arts would perform in front of ancient powerhouses. Now he has come to a conclusion.

So Kanon called a halt to the fight: "Continuing to fight won't change anything. You can't defeat Pi, but your martial arts have won."

"The victory of martial arts?" This line, which sounded like the arrival of the Sea Emperor, made Retsu Sea King a little dazed. How long had Hanon been the Sea Emperor before she learned to say this?

Hanon's considerations, the so-called "victory of martial arts," were somewhat understandable to Retsukaiou, but he was unwilling to accept this outcome.

"Ye Haihuang, please allow me to refuse." Lie Haiwang shook his head at Huayin: "Let this battle continue until the end. I... want to try to defeat Pico."

Ultimately, he still couldn't break through Pike's defense; he only had a slight advantage on the field, which was all talk and no action.

Whether it's Chinese martial arts or Retsu Kaioh's own boxing style, even though Retsu Kaioh can only use his two feet now, he still has many techniques he can use to try them out on Pike! Since there's still some distance before he runs out of energy, Retsu Kaioh wants to see if he can take another step forward.

Lie Haiwang stood on one leg, pointing one leg at Pi Ke: "Fellow martial artist, let's continue the fight!"

Pico also had the same idea.

"Awooo—" The fighting spirit from ancient times awakened further. Pi didn't know what the modern world was like, but he could understand the feelings of mutual respect and life-or-death struggle in battle.

"Bang!" "Bang!" Pike gave up the charge and leaped twice to the front of Retsukai, staring intently at the little guy who had given him the short time.

Retsukai smiled slightly: "It seems you've realized that charging is ineffective against me, Pikachu. You truly are my confidant! Close combat is exactly what I need. I have many more moves to share with you..."

Retsukai couldn't continue speaking because he suddenly noticed that Pico had a new scar on his body.

"That wasn't left by me, nor is it a new wound. It runs diagonally across my entire torso, even extending to my back, like a wound inflicted by the Azure Dragon Blade... Dragon, dragon..." Retsukai realized, "This is a wound from being bitten by the sharp teeth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Pike is a hero who survived the jaws of an ancient behemoth! Or rather, he is a super strong warrior worthy of killing a Tyrannosaurus Rex! But why is this wound only now showing up? And has Pike's body become even wider?"

Since the birth of life on Earth, the struggle has never ceased. Devouring rivals and strengthening oneself is the oldest instinct and an adaptation to nature. Based on this, life began its magnificent evolutionary journey.

Picarda, too, has adapted to nature and struggle.

Dr. Payne was completely mesmerized: "So that's it! So that's it! Piccolo's unique physiological structure is explained!" He looked around and, seeing everyone staring at him with puzzled expressions, explained, "Pico's body, his bones, especially his joints, have an extraordinary degree of flexibility, unlike modern humans. They can move a certain distance in a specific direction. I couldn't understand why Piccolo, with this physiological structure, wouldn't look much different from modern humans. Now I know! What I saw before was just Piccolo in a relaxed state; this is what he looks like when he's giving it his all!"

"Hiss—" Hana gasped, "So, the skin has a second transformation?"

Shoulders, waist, elbows, hands—the joints shift outwards, muscles swell, and Pico, awakening primal memories of slaughter, enters his ultimate form. After this series of combinations, his already robust parts become even more indestructible, and his already powerful parts become even more ferocious and invincible.

What appeared before Retsu Kaioh was an unimaginable and indescribable terrifying existence, like a collection of countless ancient ferocious beasts from legends!

"Gulp." Even the mighty Poseidon couldn't help but swallow hard, his back soaked with cold sweat... but his fighting spirit didn't wane: "Pico, thank you for giving me the highest level of treatment... Come on!"

Pike threw a punch—too fast to dodge. Retsu Kaioh only had time to extend the leg raised in front of him and kick Pike's fist, hoping to use this to "dissipate the force" and escape.

But Pike's attacks were not only too fast to react to, but their power also exceeded the limits of Retsu Kaioh's techniques... Do you remember the battle between Kaoru Hanayama and Fuminobu Inashiro at the same tournament held in this very venue almost a year ago? The damage Hanayama's heavy punch inflicted on Inashiro...

"Pfft!" Retsukai's leg bone protruded through muscle and skin, and blood gushed out, spurting out in a fountain of blood. Retsukai was also blasted away by Pike.

Section 742, Chapter 734: Piccolo's Dinner, and...

"How did Ye Haihuang feel when he faced Hanma Yujiro's three punches?" Retsukai-oh was blasted into the air by Pico, and such a thought actually flashed through his mind—this was not a good omen.

It's important to know that these seemingly unrelated things usually only slowly surface in a person's mind when their consciousness is blurred and they are about to cut off their thoughts.

Retsu Kaioh has already started watching the slideshow...

Pike's punch was too powerful. Retsu Kaioh was not afraid of the pain, but the blood loss in his shoulder and the pain from his broken arm had already worn his stamina down to a very low level. Suddenly, the excruciating pain of his broken leg piercing him was also triggered, which immediately stimulated Retsu Kaioh's brain. It can be said that Retsu Kaioh deserves to be called a "hero" for not being immediately knocked unconscious when he was thrown out.

But Pike's attacks won't stop because of Retsu Kaioh's determination. In Pike's mind, victory or defeat is about defeating the opponent until they are powerless to fight back, and then eating them.

So, as soon as Retsu Kaioh landed, unable to stand, he sat down hard on the ground, and Pique's second punch arrived.

At this point, Retsukaion had lost three of his limbs and had no way to resist.

"Bang!" The Sea King flew out again, crashing directly back into the arena from the stands. Like a rag doll that a child had grown tired of playing with, he rolled a few times in the sand, covered in blood, and fell to the ground, motionless.

With a roar, Pike leaped from the stands back into the ring, pounding his chest and howling to the sky.

“Pico won.” Dr. Payne took off his glasses and wiped the liquid on them—some were sweat from the intense battle, and some were tears of emotion from being moved by Pico’s strength.

But the doctor's words were devoid of emotion: "It's better to watch what happens next without your glasses."

"Huh? Dr. Payne, what are you saying?" Tokugawa Mitsunari, as usual, was startled and turned to look at the doctor, wondering what he meant.

“What am I talking about? Mr. Tokugawa, you know very well what’s going to happen next, don’t you?” Dr. Payne said. “It’s night, it’s dinnertime.”

"Dinner time? You mean..."

"The problem isn't what I said, but what this fighter named Retsu Kaioh said. You don't want to break your promise to Piko either, do you?"

"Ah, ahh..." Tokugawa Mitsunari froze, then suddenly roared, "No! No! Stop Pico! Do you really want him to eat Retsukaioh?"

Dr. Payne frowned. "Why me? When you invited Piccolo to join the battle, you were the one who said, 'Do you want to devour a powerful opponent who can rival you?'"

"That was just a metaphor, a metaphor! How could you really eat the loser!" Tokugawa panicked. This old man was obsessed with martial arts; it was true he would use any means necessary to lure warriors into fighting, but to say he deliberately sent them to their deaths would be unfair. In Tokugawa's heart, the stronger the warrior, the more precious and protective they were. Someone as powerful as Retsukai-oh was Tokugawa Mitsunari's darling. Killing Retsukai-oh was less desirable than cutting Tokugawa himself!

Alas, Tokugawa's intentions were good, but unfortunately, his brain wasn't up to par. How could Pi Ke know what a "metaphor" was? He was an ancient, honest man from ancient times. Although he didn't understand Tokugawa's words at all, all the old men who had recently entered this arena and been defeated by him had been eaten by him. So, the little guy from just now, after being defeated, should also be his prey.

Speaking of which, that short guy was a rare opponent. His methods were hard to understand, yet they exuded a sense of "power." It would be a real pity if I never saw him again.

As he thought about it, Pike actually shed tears! But he didn't stop moving and continued walking towards Retsu Kaioh.

Those were tears of parting...

"Pico!" Tokugawa Mitsunari exclaimed in alarm, jumping off the fence and running over, yelling as he ran, "You idiot! You, are you going to eat your friend? Retsu Kaioh is thinking about you all the time! You—Pfft!"

Pike wasn't that dramatic; he couldn't understand Tokugawa at all! With a flick of his wrist, Tokugawa flew back and crashed into the fence, falling unconscious.

When you're hungry, you need to eat; what you get after hunting is food. Pike's worldview is that simple.

But when he turned around, he stopped moving.

Suddenly, a small, female figure appeared in front of Pike...

"Hey, has that little girl gone mad?" Dr. Payne was also getting agitated: "Standing in front of Piccolo is too dangerous! Especially since she's interfering with his eating! Damn it, it's too late to stop her..."

In his haste, the doctor didn't have time to think about how the little girl had gotten to the center of the ring in the blink of an eye.

He had forgotten that the girl who had just been standing next to him had been giving advice to Lie Haiwang, and that everyone except him trusted her completely.

“Heh…” The old American soldier who had been silent all along, standing next to Dr. Payne, chuckled and patted the doctor on the shoulder: “Now that she’s out of the game, Pico won’t be able to have this meal.”

"Huh? Stride, what did you say?"

The elderly military man, named Streida, was a close friend of Yujiro Hanma: "This young lady is named Hanako, a Chinese woman, and a rare powerhouse who can rival Yujiro Hanma. You just heard Retsu Kaioh call her 'Empress Hanma,' didn't you? In the realm of Chinese martial arts, Hanako's strength surpasses even Retsu Kaioh's."

“Even surpassing Retsu Kaioh…” Dr. Payne was puzzled. His understanding of the strength of combat was still based on the concept that weight class determined everything. The girl in front of him was not even as strong as Retsu Kaioh, and was far inferior to Pikachu. Even if her skills were really excellent, how could she possibly stop this ancient warrior?

But what happened next left Dr. Payne speechless: Pike actually didn't move when faced with Hanon.

The "delicious" sea king was right in front of him, but Pico stopped moving forward. Of course, he didn't retreat either. Instead, he curiously stared at the female in front of him.
