Seeing a rare blush appear on Hanon's face, Musashi asked curiously, "Is there something else?"
"Um... I don't have any cash on me, and I don't feel comfortable using my bank card. Could you lend me some money?"
Anyway, Kanon took the money from Musashi, hailed a taxi, and went to find Musashi.
News of Musashi's appearance kept updating online. The general public didn't know if this person was actually Miyamoto Musashi, but in modern society, a strangely dressed person with a sword walking at night would certainly attract a lot of attention. The news of his solo riot was also broadcast on television, so Musashi's real-time location was always very accurate.
When Kanon got on the bus, netizens said that Musashi was walking on the streets of Shibuya.
When Hanon got off the bus, netizens said that Musashi had already started fighting someone!
"Who is it!" Kanon's heart jumped again—it had to be Yujiro Hanma, otherwise no one could guarantee they would escape unscathed from Musashi.
But Yujiro is such a coward. Whenever he's needed to take charge, he's nowhere to be found. He said he'd only make his move after Kanon and Musashi had settled their differences, and sure enough, he's been silent lately. Kanon even suspects he's left Japan.
Online posts are still being updated: "Is this guy really 'Miyamoto Musashi'? He's wielding a real sword, how scary!" "Yeah, his opponent is unarmed, how can he fight?" "But that guy is also very strong, probably over 1.9 meters tall, with a buzz cut, looks very capable, maybe he can fight!" "The two are facing off, it really feels like a martial arts movie."
Standing at 1.9 meters tall, with a buzz cut, extremely robust, and possessing a capable demeanor, he had been spotted near Shibuya... Kanon had already sketched out the image of that person in her mind—needless to say, it was Kaoru Hanayama.
Oh, that would be even worse!
"Brother Hanayama, please don't let anything happen to you!" Hana was already heartbroken that a stranger had been killed by Musashi, but if Hanayama were to fall under Musashi's sword, Hana would regret it for the rest of her life.
After getting off the bus, Kanon ran wildly through Shibuya pedestrian street, searching for the locations reported by netizens. Her concern clouded her judgment, and in her haste, she bumped into someone at a corner.
"Eek—" Hana had long since developed a muscular physique and was quite heavy. When she ran at high speed, her impact was astonishing. However, upon the collision, she was sent flying backward. The person who came was incredibly heavy!
"Who—huh?" Hanon stared intently, then fell into even greater confusion. Who else could it be but Hanayama Kaoru!
However, Kanon was very happy: "Brother Hanayama, it's so good that you didn't challenge Musashi!"
"No, I'm going to challenge Musashi." Hanazono's tall figure was wrapped in a trench coat, his feet in wooden clogs, revealing his thick calves. His appearance was like that of a perverted exhibitionist... It's not hard to imagine that Hanazono really wasn't wearing much under his coat. He had already dressed up according to the rules of the underworld, wrapped in gauze and a loincloth, his upper body bare, ready to go.
"The rules of the Japanese underworld are really confusing..." Kanon first complained, then became confused again: "Since you are still on the path of challenging Musashi, then who is Musashi fighting now?"
Author's Note: Still updating at 3 PM today.
My eyes were tired yesterday, but after a good night's rest, they feel much better today. I'm planning to buy some eye drops tomorrow; looks like I'll have to keep some on hand from now on. It's not that the novelist is frail or sickly; it's just that online novels need to be updated daily, and everyone gets headaches and fevers sometimes, so it's easy for people to get that impression.
Section 844, Chapter 835: The Madman of the Law
We've already reached Shibuya, how far is Musashi? Who's Musashi fighting? We can just go over and see.
Hanayama isn't a pervert. The reason he went out to challenge Musashi to a duel dressed so "casually" was because someone along the way tipped him off. The yakuza underlings and police officers in Shibuya unexpectedly formed an alliance. After seeing Hanayama, they all pointed out Musashi's location to him. Soon, Hanayama and Hanon found a place where a crowd had gathered. They pushed through the crowd and saw the two facing off inside.
Seeing the situation, Hanon's expression went from surprise to normalcy to indifference, a complete rollercoaster of emotions: "Hehehe, so it was him. I should have known."
Musashi's riot these past two days has been a major embarrassment for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which is why someone sought help from Hanayama. However, the Metropolitan Police Department is a highly capable organization, and relying on outsiders to resolve the issue, even if they manage to subdue Musashi, would still be a loss of face. The Japanese police are not without their own experts, so higher-ups with differing opinions were called in…
"State your name again, samurai." Miyamoto Musashi had just unleashed a strike, sheathed his sword, and while preparing to continue his iaido, he also questioned the burly man before him.
"Captain of the 44th Mobile Unit of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Kiyoaki Akoya."
Look, it's someone I know.
While Kanon and Hanayama were arriving, Akoya and Musashi had already been fighting. Musashi had already struck three times, so Akoya was not in good condition.
Knowing he would be facing off against the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, Akoya wore his private "justice-executing" uniform today—a very sturdy, high-tech suit of armor.
However, having armor but not knowing how to absorb energy is not enough; simply brute force against Musashi won't work.
Musashi's first strike was a sweeping blow to the head. Aguya, relying on his superhuman reflexes, slid down at lightning speed to avoid a fatal blow, but Musashi still managed to cut off half of his helmet and flatten his short, upturned head. This is why the term "flat head" appeared on online discussion forums, and why Kanon didn't immediately associate it with him.
Musashi's second strike was a massive kasaya slash from his right shoulder, incredibly fast and powerful. Aguya flexed his arm muscles, using the steel plates in his armor to create his prized "shield," not only withstanding Musashi's attack but also using the momentum to push Musashi away, almost knocking him to the ground! Fortunately, Musashi was as agile as a monkey and jumped away in time, otherwise his two lifetimes of fame would have been ruined.
Akoya is tall, strong, and skilled in arrest techniques. He also has mental issues and doesn't know his own strength. Anyone who is subdued by him will suffer a terrible fate...
Finally, when Kanon and Hanayama arrived, they saw Musashi's third slash, which he had just sheathed. It was an upward thrusting slash, the most natural attack stance after an iaido slash. When Musashi used it, the speed was beyond description; it was practically a guaranteed hit!
Akoya was no exception; the sword cleaved his armor from bottom to top. Combined with the cracked steel plate on his forearm from blocking the second sword, half of his armor disintegrated due to structural damage and scattered on the ground. When Musashi asked his name again, Akoya was removing the remaining half of his uniform.
"That was close..." Seeing the scene before her, Hanon could naturally guess what had happened. She patted her chest and said, "Luckily, we made it in time... Hey! Aguya! You step back and don't fight him anymore."
"Shut up!" Aguya had already entered "justice execution" mode, which is basically a psychopath. He wouldn't listen to Kanon's attempts to stop him at all: "Yo Kanon, after I wipe out the evil in front of me, you'll be next!"
"Damn it, nobody cares about you!" She'd come to the rescue with good intentions, sweating profusely, only to be yelled at like that. Even the gentlest Kanon has a temper! She pouted and ignored Aguya: "Wait until Musashi kills you, then we'll see who regrets it!"
Aguya definitely won't regret it, and if Kanon doesn't regret it either... well, at least there's still one person who will be sad and shed tears for Aguya.
"Miss Hanon... thank you..." A gentle female voice rang in her ears. Hanon knew without looking that wherever Aguya Kiyoaki appeared, his lover Hiyama Shunka was naturally nearby.
Kanon genuinely wanted to advise Hiyama: What a waste of a perfectly good girl to be tied to that lunatic, Akoya Kiyoaki! Anyone else would be better off than him! Why not use your position to buy Akoya a few exorbitantly priced accidental death insurance policies, then wait for him to actually kill himself one day, collect the money, and find a normal person as a new love? Wouldn't that be wonderful? You're the president of a major insurance company, good-looking, with a great personality, and not that old—why would you have trouble finding a partner? If it weren't for Mieko already being with him, Kanon would be willing to take the fall… *cough* (Here I have to add a doge emoji: Kanon isn't that kind of person. Even without Mieko, there's always Garuda, right? (doge emoji))
But despite her complaints, Kanon understood that Hiyama and Akoya were two broken people. Over the years, they had become interdependent and had a deep bond. Hiyama couldn't live without Akoya, and if Akoya died, she might not choose to live alone...
"Sigh!" Hanon sighed heavily. On the other side, Hiyama's lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but Hanon waved her hand to stop her first: "You don't need to say anything, I know what you mean... If it really comes down to a critical moment, I will not stand by and watch someone die."
"Yes!" Hiyama's eyes were red and moist, with tears welling up. Her beloved was going to challenge Miyamoto Musashi, and judging from his performance in the first three sword strikes, he was under immense pressure. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't anxious. But what could she do? Hiyama, who couldn't leave Akoya, could only dance with this "madman of the Law" until the very end.
Hiyama didn't even wipe away his tears, focusing intently on the situation as they streamed down his face. By this time, Aguya had removed his armor, and Musashi didn't pursue them. The two resumed their standoff, drawing everyone's attention, not just Hiyama's.
"Is he someone you know?" Hanayama and Hanon stood side by side, and only after Hanon had spoken with Akoya and Hiyama did he slowly post the message.
Kanon nodded: "Yes, he's a fighter from the Kengan Association. We've known each other for a long time, and we've fought before."
Hanayama stared at Aguya for a moment: "He's very strong."
Hanon pouted: "Not as strong as Musashi."
Hua Shan nodded again: "I trust your judgment, after all, you are the one who knows him better. So, if a rescue is needed at a critical moment, I will also lend a hand."
"Oh, Brother Huashan, you really are..."
Before Kanon could finish praising him, Akoya and Musashi started fighting. Musashi launched his Iaijutsu, but Akoya dodged the slash! He then punched Musashi in the face, knocking him back!
Akoya finally gained the upper hand and began to pursue. Musashi quickly swung his sword to block him, but Akoya seemed to have divine assistance. He suddenly stopped and retreated while charging forward, narrowly avoiding Musashi's sword. Then he continued to stride forward and punched Musashi in the face again!
This……
Huashan looked at Huayin with suspicion. Was this the acquaintance she didn't think highly of?
Hanon then guiltily rubbed her forehead and said, "Hey, I only said he's not as good as Musashi, not that he's weak!"
Author's Note: There will be another chapter in a bit! Musashi has provoked the Metropolitan Police Department, it would be a real shame if Aguya didn't come out and take a look.
Section 845, Chapter 836: Master of Fist, Musashi
Kanon wasn't the only one surprised; Miyamoto Musashi was also dumbfounded after being hit twice in quick succession, directly in the face without holding back. The swordsman was sent flying backward a short distance by Aguya's second punch, landing on his buttocks.
Wow! That's the mighty Miyamoto Musashi! Is Musashi too weak or Aguya too strong?
It's naturally Aguya who's the strongest.
"Your strength pleases me." Musashi suddenly shouted. He didn't rush to stand up, but twisted on the ground and changed to a kneeling position. He waved to Aguya and said, "Brother Aguya, you keep saying you want to 'punish' me. May I ask what it is?"
Aguya stopped his pursuit and said coldly, "Murder... pay with your life."
"Heh, interesting." Musashi chuckled dismissively. "I may be a killer, but you're also someone who's walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. We have a similar vibe~ You can't fool me."
“You have murdered several police officers,” Aguya said. “Murdering guardians of justice is pure evil, and evil… must be punished.”
Musashi's smile widened, but his laughter was cold: "Hmm, so you mean there's a difference between good and evil in killing?"
Aguya shook his head: "Killing someone means paying with your life. I am also evil for using killing to uphold justice, and sooner or later I will take my own life, but before that, I want to purify the evil in the world."
Hana, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore and changed her posture to put her hands on her forehead: "My God, he's in the late stage of chuunibyou! It's extremely embarrassing."
However, Hanayama, who was standing next to him, seemed to be listening with great interest, and it seemed that he quite approved of Aguya's way of life.
"Aha!" Even Miyamoto Musashi was laughing at Aguya—he leaped up and said loudly, "Whether it is justice or evil is determined by the survivors! Thanks to your honesty in stopping and talking to me, I've calmed down from the dizziness of being slapped in the face~ In return, why wait until later to settle things? I can send you to your death right now."
"How despicable..." The onlookers discussed among themselves. Miyamoto Musashi was such a shameless person?
"You wicked scoundrel, trying to outsmart me!" Akoya was enraged, fueled by the shame of being toyed with by evil. He angrily swung his iron fist, aiming for Musashi's face for the third time. At the same time, Musashi swung his sword to meet Akoya's attack.
"Whoosh—" The light was dazzling, Musashi's iaido was as fast as lightning, there was no room to dodge at all... Ah! Aguya dodged!
Kanon was once again completely taken aback. Was Musashi's iaido really that easy to dodge? Suddenly, she felt incredibly useless...
Akoya dodged Musashi's attack and followed up with a heavy punch, but Musashi was no pushover who only knew one trick. He was very decisive and directly abandoned his sword, reached out and grabbed Akoya's arm, pulling him into his arms to form a joint lock!
At the critical moment, Akoya performed another miraculous feat. With one hand caught, the other immediately followed, delivering a punch to Musashi's ribs before Musashi could react—"Bang!" The punch was so heavy that Musashi's ribs were probably cracked! Then, Akoya loosened his grip, pulled his arm back, and grabbed Musashi's shoulders with both hands. With a sweep of his leg, he went from being locked in a lock to taking the initiative with a throw, twisting Musashi to the ground.
"It's so nostalgic." Hanon sighed softly. She had seen Aguya back in the Metropolitan Police Department's judo dojo. This super cop's wrestling skills had always been impressive.
As for how Akoya was able to continuously suppress Musashi, is there any need to guess? Hiyama was right next to Kanon, her hands were tucked into her sleeves, she was probably pressing buttons to prompt Akoya Musashi's movement frequency!
Hiyama Shunka's near-superpower-like precise biological clock, combined with Akoya Kiyoaki's near-superpower-like superhuman reflexes, allows them to gain a significant advantage once they become familiar with their opponent's movement speed. They are truly a rare ace combination in the world.
After knocking Musashi down, Akoya immediately gained a huge advantage. If he could use the "Arrest Technique" to suppress Musashi, the scales of victory would completely tip in his favor!
However, when Aguya leaned down and pressed down, his body suddenly swayed and he lost consciousness in about a second.
In a battle between masters, things change in an instant. Not to mention a mere second of lapse in concentration, even a fraction of a second can alter many things. While Aguya was momentarily distracted, Musashi rolled away, not only escaping Aguya's downward pressure but also picking up his discarded sword, "Nameless Golden Heavy."
Aguya quickly regained consciousness, before even touching the ground face-first. He quickly braced himself with his arms, pushed himself up, and leaped away like a startled cat, putting distance between himself and Musashi.
Akoya then touched his chin, where Musashi's fist had grazed him, causing him to lose his composure.
Was Miyamoto Musashi also a master of martial arts?
No, Musashi is not. Born on the battlefield and having experienced all sorts of chaotic combat tactics, his close-quarters combat skills are certainly not bad, but they are still far from the peak level of modern unarmed combat, let alone matching his own superb swordsmanship.
Musashi was very curious about how Aguya was able to dodge his slash. He had met some people in ancient times who could achieve this effect, but the methods they used were all different. Therefore, fist techniques were not Musashi's "main weapon". That punch was just a test, part of his battlefield survival strategy.
"You anticipated my strike, so I abandoned my sword and switched to unarmed combat, and you predicted my unarmed attack as well." Musashi praised Akoya excitedly, "Then I changed the frequency of my attacks, and sure enough, you were caught off guard. Akoya Kiyoaki, you not only possess extraordinary reflexes, but you can also memorize my attack rhythm. You're truly a talent!"
As expected of a legendary warrior, Musashi is truly remarkable. He was unaware of Hiyama's innate abilities, assuming it was Aguya's skill. However, through his probing, he directly saw through the actual effect of this combination... and instantly found a way to counter it.
"Now that I know your abilities, there's nothing to worry about. I have at least three ways to defeat you."
Musashi's words had a kind of magic. Although he had not performed well since the start of the war, not only did he cunningly delay time to recover his condition, but he was also hit hard in the face by Akoya, causing his nose to bleed and his ribs to ache. However, when he declared that he would launch a counterattack, no one doubted him. Even Akoya and Hiyama did not. Akoya immediately went into a defensive state and was ready for battle.
