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

A while ago, Shiba Inu was sent by Hanayama to train with Baki. The "Cockroach Dash" move was finally mastered under Hanayama's provocation. Shiba Inu still has many bruises from Baki's attacks, proof of their friendly sparring. Shiba Inu knows how strong Baki is, which is why he's so curious: can Baki, so powerful, defeat his father, the "World's Strongest Creature"? What kind of spectacular battle will the Hanma father and son deliver?

"I...I want to see."

Hua Shan let out a long sigh: "Me too."

Hey, if you all want to see it, why are you pretending to be so profound?

Not only Kaoru Hanayama and Chiharu Shiba, but many powerful figures tonight were also affected by the news of the battle between the Hanma family father and son. Perhaps due to the synchronicity, even without accurate information about the start of the battle, people such as Doppo Guji, Goki Shibukawa, Jack Hanma, and even the unemotional Pike all vaguely felt that dark clouds were gathering and that a battle of the century was brewing in the dark.

These powerful individuals were either rushing to the vicinity of the upscale hotel where Yujiro Hanma was staying, or excitedly lingering around their own residences. Some were overjoyed, while others were restless, but without exception, everyone was eagerly anticipating the start of the battle.

As for the person I'm most looking forward to, it's not some strongman, at least not someone whose personal strength is far from sufficient. So it's naturally Tokugawa Mitsunari, who is already seriously ill and not far from death in this timeline.

This old man could be truly inhuman at times, utterly despicable, but he was devoted to watching martial arts, exhausting himself in creating stages and facilitating the lives of the strong, making him a pure soul in his own right. Now, as Tokugawa Mitsunari grieves his deathbed, his only wish is to witness a final battle between the strongest father and son, Hanma Yujiro and Hanma Baki, before he can peacefully prepare for his ascension…

"That's strange. The agreed time has passed, why hasn't Baki arrived yet?" Putting down his binoculars, Tokugawa Mitsunari was both puzzled and anxious: "Could something have happened?"

Tokugawa pondered, "No, Baki isn't the type to break a promise, and there's probably no one who could cause an accident for him..." He slapped his forehead, "Oh, I get it! He must be imitating the duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro on Ganryu Island, deliberately arriving late to distract his opponent and increase his chances of winning."

“That must be it!” The more Tokugawa Mitsunari thought about it, the more convinced he became that he was right, and he even laughed out loud: “Hehe, Baki is really cunning.”

"That Baki kid is really cunning." The same words came out of Yujiro Hanma's mouth at this moment.

Tonight, Yujiro specially wore a very fashionable outfit that combined style and comfort, matching the upscale hotel where they were having dinner, while also allowing him to switch into battle mode at any time and move freely.

But right now, Yujiro is sitting alone in the upper-level private room, and the agreed time has passed. Baki still hasn't shown up, making him look really silly!

He had initially planned to wait for Baki to arrive before showing himself, intending to unusually instruct Baki on how to enjoy the food as a father, fulfilling his responsibilities as a "father" before taking action. But Baki didn't appear, so he had no choice but to sit down and continue waiting… He didn't have Baki's phone number! He couldn't very well call and ask, "Hey, son, why haven't you arrived yet? Did something happen on the way?"

Although Yujiro Hanma has his own philosophy of life, he is essentially a scumbag and a rough man who neglects his family. Usually, with his strength and bravery, there is nothing he can't solve by brute force, but force is not omnipotent, and even the "strongest creature in the world" is not omniscient and omnipotent. This time, he suffered a setback in silence, and he felt really bad about it!

Emptiness, anxiety, anger, and doubt—these negative emotions weren't particularly intense, but they were all new to Yujiro. He sat there alone, savoring the feeling: "Baki, that brat... how dare he stand me up, I won't let him get away with this..."

But as time went on, Yujiro began to realize something new: "No, this feeling of anxiety doesn't come entirely from Baki's absence; there are other sources too!"

This "world's strongest creature" suddenly stood up, startling the hotel manager who had been carefully attending to him. The manager even began to tremble: "Oh no, Mr. Fanma has been stood up by his son. Is he going to tear this place down in a fit of rage?"

Hey, it really is?! Suddenly, Yujiro threw a punch, his fist the size of a sandbag slamming into the wall, shattering the thick wall instantly, as easily as breaking a cookie! As expected of a man bearing the title of "strongest," he is truly extraordinary.

After breaking through the wall, Yujiro leaped out and arrived in the hotel lobby, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for something.

The broken wall startled the diners in the lobby. Those who could dine here were all wealthy and noble. The gentlemen and ladies were terrified and fled in panic. This made it easier for Yujiro to quickly identify someone.

She was an elegant and beautiful young woman, dressed in fashionable clothes, sitting alone in a corner of the restaurant, enjoying a sumptuous meal.

Because of her outstanding appearance and the fact that she was eating alone, several playboys approached her during the meal, but she ignored or rejected them all. The latest young man, who was relentlessly pursuing her, was also frightened by Yujiro's actions. When he saw Yujiro striding towards him, he cried out "Oh my god!" and ran away as fast as he could, completely forgetting about the girl who had just patted her chest and said she would protect her.

The girl, however, remained calmly seated at the dining table, allowing Yujiro to approach.

She had finished her main meal and was now enjoying dessert and drinks. Even with Yujiro's muscular body standing beside her, looking down at her, the girl remained unmoved.

“What an impressive demeanor.” Standing beside the girl, Yujiro confirmed his feeling: “The oppressive aura you exude even makes me anxious… I never expected that a peerless master would be right here, and a young girl at that.”

Author's note: I'll continue later.

Section 927, Chapter 918: The New Three Punches

"It is very impolite to disturb other people's meals."

The girl, of course, that was Kanon, rolled her eyes at Yujiro and said quietly.

Yujiro wasn't angry. As a martial artist, he respected any other top-tier fighter, just as he and Doppo usually shared many common interests. In recent years, among the top-tier martial artists, only the Jack and Baki brothers had truly been severely disciplined by Yujiro; after all, it was their father disciplining his sons.

Yujiro calmly pulled up a chair, sat down, and apologized to Kanon: "It was my fault. I'll wait for you to finish eating."

But as soon as Yujiro sat down, Kanon stood up: "I'm done eating."

"Hiss—" Not to mention others, even Yujiro couldn't help but gasp. This girl was really bold. She was obviously making fun of Yujiro Hanma!

The hotel manager was especially aware that Yujiro Hanma was someone even the US and Japanese governments feared, someone whose power was unimaginable. Who was this girl in front of him, daring to provoke him so blatantly? Was she truly unafraid of death? Or was she... fearless because she had something to lose?

Yujiro suddenly stood up, almost face to face with Kanon. His fierce aura pressed down, causing the entire building to shake.

"Whoosh! Earthquake?" The diners were quite frightened. Some lost their balance and fell to the ground, some quickly grabbed onto nearby objects, and one even wet himself in fright!

Amid the tremors, only Yujiro and Kanon, locked in a standoff, remained unmoved.

This made the furious Yujiro feel an extra bit of admiration for Kanon. It seems that no matter which timeline, Kanon's strength and style are quite compatible with Yujiro's—she is the kind of person who can inspire Yujiro's fighting spirit.

The "fierce beast" smiled: "A powerful figure, what's your name?"

"Me..." Hana tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly revealed a tearful expression: "Waaah, brother! I am your long-lost sister, Hanahan!"

Yujiro frowned and said, "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Honestly, Kanon's acting this time was much better than when she acted against Baki, but this joke was really too lame and fake. At Kanon's age, she's too young to be called Yujiro's daughter, let alone his sister. Even passersby wouldn't believe it.

"Tch, boring." Hana shook her head, the joke was completely ruined: "You and your father are both so boring."

Yujiro sensed something: "You know Baki?"

"He won't be coming tonight." Hua Yin smiled brightly. "I'll play against you instead."

"Hmph, hahahaha..." Yujiro only snorted once, then burst into a long laugh. The shaking of the building stopped, and only Yujiro's laughter remained in the entire hotel lobby.

Hana was chilled by his laughter: "What are you laughing at? Are you crazy?"

Yujiro was certainly not out of his mind and would not say something as absurd as "I laugh at Zhou Yu's incompetence and Zhuge Liang's lack of wisdom." He had a reasonable reason: "Given Baki's personality, he certainly won't be persuaded by anyone. He didn't come to the appointment tonight because you defeated him, right? That's good. It shows that you are a worthy opponent."

He glanced at Hanon a couple more times: "And you were completely unharmed, so you obviously won with ease."

"Uh, I interrupted your father-son duel, aren't you angry?"

"The kid is no match for me. He lost, so be it. This proves that his challenge to me was a foolish thing to do. He's still far from being good enough."

Yujiro Hanma is a pure warrior with a competitive spirit and a love for fighting and destruction. However, the problem is that he is too strong, which gradually leads to a sense of helplessness. He feels like he is looking down on everyone else and has no goals in sight. Everything is within his grasp. Being too strong becomes a problem and a burden. Being too strong takes away a warrior's dream. Yujiro Hanma's sense of accomplishment in life is gradually worn away in the loneliness of being invincible.

Therefore, Yujiro craves a good opponent, anyone will do. For many years, he has been paying attention to his son Baki. Aside from the natural bond between father and son, it is more because Baki has a strong Hanma bloodline and unlimited potential. He has grown to a point that even Yujiro is amazed by.

Yujiro's acceptance of Baki's challenge was a decision made after witnessing Baki's strength. Years ago, he had nearly killed Baki, and had since regretted it—not regretting almost killing his son, but regretting acting too soon; Baki was far too weak then. In Kanon's original timeline, Yujiro's hesitation to challenge her was also related to this incident.

Now, Kanon and Yujiro unexpectedly meet in another time and space. Yujiro doesn't recognize her, but as long as the person in front of him is stronger than Baki, he is pleasantly surprised and will not refuse anyone: "Tonight I only want to fight with the strong. Since you have defeated Baki, you are qualified to fight me."

“Okay, I guessed so.” Hanon shrugged, not surprised by Yujiro’s words: “As a father, you’re really heartless… Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Hanon… Hey!”

Before Hanon could finish her introduction, a fist the size of a sandbag appeared in front of her.

Yujiro Hanma wasn't entirely heartless; he just had an eccentric personality and a fatherly instinct towards Baki and Jack. With Kanon having defeated Baki and becoming a suitable opponent, Yujiro was naturally eager to act, partly to start a fight and partly to avenge Baki.

The fist of the "world's strongest creature" struck Hanon silently.

To the hotel diners, the scene was truly bizarre: a tall man threw a punch, and a frail girl flew backward like a piece of paper, but there was no sound or the texture of the impact. This light, airborne knockback was like a bug in a video game, full of incongruity and driving them crazy.

Having dealt with Yujiro several times in her own timeline and knowing his temperament, Kanon remained on guard while speaking, and Yujiro's punch was completely neutralized by "force dissipation".

Landing gracefully, Hana let out a long sigh: "A surprise attack, how despicable..."

Yujiro didn't answer; his second punch had already landed.

Along with the sound of the punch tearing through the air, there was also the sound of clothes being torn – Yujiro had activated "Oni Back"! His bulging muscles burst his well-fitting coat.

"Bang!" This time, the impact was both loud and impactful. Kanon was knocked back again, crashing into the building's special glass. The glass window cracked, indicating the transfer of power and that Kanon had failed to deflect all of Yujiro's power.

“‘Power absorption’, I just saw it at the grand martial arts tournament in China a while ago, at the Guo Haihuang’s place.” Yujiro finally spoke: “That’s a good technique, but it can’t stop my punches.”

But then Huayin, who was leaning against the glass, raised her head and said, "I already knew that."

Despite being hit hard, Kanon was unharmed!

"Power dissipation" is not a panacea. A fast and powerful enough attack can be countered by sheer force. Hitting an obstacle can also be threatening because it affects the dissipation of power. Kanon understands all of this. In fact, as early as her first fight with Yujiro, which was the three-punch agreement after the Tokyo Dome Underground Colosseum Tournament, Kanon had already mastered "power dissipation" and personally verified that it could not stop "the God of Death's Strike".

So Kanon used "Raiden" (雷部)~

"I'm much better now than I was back then..." Hana sighed softly.

At that time, she had not yet mastered the Thunder Department, let alone the "Heartless Heaven" that followed. Back then, she could only struggle to hold on against Yujiro, but now she was confident that she could confront him head-on and even win the battle.

Ignoring the fact that Yujiro in this timeline had no idea about the Three Punches Pact, Kanon beckoned to him with her finger and used a combination of One Finger and Lion's Roar: "Come here!"

As the saying goes, "What you ask for, you get," and Yujiro Hanma's third punch has arrived.

Author's note: See you tomorrow! I haven't been resting well these past two days, and I have a headache.

Section 928, Chapter 919: Iron Man

Yujiro Hanma's third punch was still the "God of Slaughter" in his "Oni Back" state. He used even more force. So, could this punch break through Raibe's defense and seriously injure Kanon?

We will never know the answer to this.

Yujiro's third punch missed, and Kanon used "Unpredictable Transformation" to dodge away. When she reappeared, she was behind Yujiro and charged forward—"Splat!"

The building's glass shattered into countless pieces from the combined force of Yujiro's fist and Kanon's impact, with Kanon on top of Yujiro's body, as the two of them fell from the sky amidst the glass shards.

"Ah! What happened?" Not only were the diners in the hotel in a panic, but the people outside the building who were watching Yujiro were also shocked. Baki Hanma hadn't even arrived yet, so how could someone have jumped off a building? And it was Yujiro!

The acceleration due to gravity was extremely fast, and the speed at which people fell was also extremely fast. Before anyone could react, Kanon and Yujiro had already landed on the ground.

Strictly speaking, it landed on a luxury car parked below the building.

With a deafening roar, the luxury car was completely destroyed. It didn't even need to be compressed at a junkyard; it was simply flattened, its parts flying everywhere.

Throughout the fall, Kanon maintained the position of pressing down on Yujiro's body, using him as a cushion. But was it effective? Falling from that height, whoever cushioned the other would be dead!

No, Kanon is still fully conscious... as is Yujiro.

"Huh!" Hana was surprised, but she moved very quickly, jumping up instantly and leaping away from the ruins of the luxury car. It seemed that she was not only conscious but also physically unharmed!

Well, that's nothing special, because Yujiro did the same. The reason Kanon jumped away was to avoid Yujiro's attack.

Even when falling from a height of hundreds of meters, even when smashing a car, even when Kanon drove "Indestructible" the whole time to increase the intensity of the impact, Yujiro Hanma still acted as usual!

He swung his hand across, but missed; Kanon had already jumped away. The powerful momentum of the chop sent Yujiro spinning in the air, striking the luxury car beneath him. The already wrecked car was further damaged, splitting in two. Yujiro's momentum remained unaffected; he used the momentum to shift his center of gravity and stand up.
