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

"Is it finally our turn?" "We're all members of the Kengan Association, why are we so late?" "This is such discrimination..."

"Sorry to keep you waiting." The leader of the men in black greeted them, "You are not going to board the Kengan, but this way—"

A dilapidated ship, two sizes smaller than the Kengan, slowly entered the harbor, with a sign on its hull that read "Death Ship".

Chapter 91 Author's Note on the Launch

Hey, this book is about to be released.

As the results show, everyone can see that every author was probably full of ambition when they first entered the field of novels, but most of them were not satisfied with their results later on. Now that I think about it, I am a newcomer who wrote a niche fanfiction. It is not easy to get to where I am today. It has accompanied me through the entire book writing process, and I hope it can accompany you to spend a few minutes of relaxing time every day.

Much of what I wanted to say has already been said in the author's notes in previous chapters, so there's not much more to add now. This book might not be very long, but it will definitely be finished. Updates might not be frequent, but they will be consistent. Thank you all so much for keeping me company until now. I've read every post and comment. Some readers are truly talented; a single sentence in a post can make me laugh. br**o~

Regarding the content of this book, now that we've entered the Kengan Deathmatch, what follows is a "long" storyline that took over two hundred chapters to complete in the original work, but actually only took place within ten days. I believe this is something many readers are eagerly anticipating. I, the author, reiterate and swear that the timing of this plot point at the time of publication was not intentional; it was simply a coincidence as I wrote it. After the Deathmatch, the protagonist will enter a new storyline, perhaps involving farming or the addition of new manga characters. The story of youthful passion and excitement will continue.

The author is now a working professional, so daily updates are less frequent. I originally wanted to leave a reward, but after writing this, I changed my mind. A person should keep their word, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the promise. Actually, the mediocre results have their advantages; at least I'm under less pressure, right? There's no need to ask for votes here, since asking wouldn't really change anything. If you're willing, just subscribe and tip, that's fine too, o(*￣︶￣*)o

Finally, I would like to thank everyone again for your continued support. As the author, I only hope that you all enjoy this book.

Section 92, Chapter 91: The Qualifying Rounds

The exterior of the "Death Ship" was dilapidated, and the interior... was just as dilapidated.

Despite the poor environment, the staff were very polite, humbly guiding the 123 companies that had not received invitations into the cabin.

"Next, the competitors, please stay on the first floor and enter through the door behind me. Other guests, please go upstairs and wait."

"Huh, so we're going to separate here?" Tokita Ohma's manager, the bespectacled uncle, loved to make a big fuss.

Kanon had already inquired about him. His name was Yamashita Kazuo, he was fifty-six years old, and he was originally an employee of a publishing house under the Nogi Group. He had only recently made a name for himself as the manager of Tokita Ohma. He had also won a membership in the Kengan Association of a small company through the Kengan Tournament. He was widely regarded as Nogi Group's hidden trump card and was definitely a formidable figure.

"Actually, he's just an ordinary middle-aged man..." Hanon looked him over from left to right, but couldn't see anything special about Yamashita Kazuo.

"We're going upstairs too, Kanon, be careful." Miho said goodbye to Kanon and went upstairs. Adam was not representing the fighter at the moment, so he followed as a bodyguard.

Hanon, or rather, the dressed-up Flavor Sander, followed the group through the gate, which was empty; it was a huge glass room.

Looking up, you can see that Miho and the others have already gone up to the second floor and are observing this side from above.

"Heh heh, all those self-important fools have gathered together!" Tokita Ohma of Yamashita Trading Company exclaimed excitedly.

Hanon was speechless. This Tokita always seemed very confident, but based on the two matches she had observed him in, while he was strong, he wasn't exactly one of the top fighters. In that case, he seemed rather arrogant.

Hanon was already short among the fighters, and her outfit covered her up completely, so no one noticed her. She was happy to keep a low profile and leaned against the wall to observe the fighters from these small companies.

Aside from Tokita Ohma, Kanon also found two acquaintances. One was Sawada Keizaburo, the ballet dancer who had taken Kanon to watch his match; he was incredibly skilled with his legs. The second was someone Kanon knew even better: Rito, the first fighter she had ever met.

Of course, Rito didn't know Kanon, let alone the current Flavor Sand. His first defeat was against Tokita Ohma. He also seemed to know Sawada Keizaburo, and they were rivals. So he started talking to the two of them right away.

"Tokita Ohma! I've been wanting to see you again for so long..."

"The one who cleaves Rito!" This roar didn't come from Ohma, but from a burly man covered in scars—oh, Kanon recognized him too; he was Rito's opponent in the first match, the one Rito brutally defeated with his finger razor.

The burly man blocked Rito's path: "Hey, Rito, don't forget me! I'm going to demand justice for the wounds on your body!"

"Who is this guy?" Rito was talking to Ohma and didn't have time to pay attention to the big man. He reached out and slashed the big man's body. Blood flashed and the big man was cut by the razor again. He bled profusely and lost his fighting ability.

"Did Rito just use a finger razor at close range?" Both Ohma and Kanon realized this. It seems that Rito has indeed practiced hard after losing to Ohma.

At this moment, in the captain's cabin, the captain, who looks a lot like Santa Claus but has a wicked grin on his face, is monitoring everything.

"Oh dear, some people have already taken action. Hehe, it's alright, the qualifiers will start at the same time we set sail anyway."

The captain picked up the megaphone and announced to the entire ship: "Fellow fighters and employers, thank you for your patience. The Death Ship has officially set sail. We would like to inform you that the preliminary rounds of the Death Elimination Tournament have begun. There are 151 companies participating in this tournament, of which 28 have been invited by the Chairman of the Film Source Association to qualify for the finals. The remaining 123 companies on this ship will be selected through a free-for-all format to choose five companies to participate in the finals."

"The time limit is until sunrise. By the way, if more than five fighters are still standing by then, everyone will be disqualified from the competition." The captain also announced a rule that forced everyone to fight to the death.

Tokita Ohma sighed, "Ah, this is troublesome. It seems I have no choice but to deal with it as soon as possible." Then someone hit him from behind.

Although he was hit, Ohma was not angry and did not retaliate, because the person who hit him was the very beautiful blonde bespectacled secretary of Yamashita Trading Company. Kanon had also inquired about her name; she was Akiyama Kaede.

Akiyama came down to bring Ohma water, but after exchanging a few more words, the preliminary rounds began, and she was trapped in the glass enclosure. This girl was quite formidable; she remained calm under pressure. Surrounded by over a hundred burly men fighting for their lives, she showed no panic, only demanding that Tokita Ohma protect her: "Ultimately, my predicament is because of you; you have to take responsibility for it!"

"Don't worry!" ×2, both Ohma and Rito agreed to Akiyama's request.

"Little Akiyama, I, Rihito, will personally serve as your bodyguard!"

"unnecessary."

"Haha, don't be so polite, don't stand on ceremony with me."

Uh, after watching for a while, Kanon realized that Rito was actually a lecherous and naive person, quite different from his previous arrogant and domineering persona. Considering Adam's recent change, does losing a fight change a person's personality?

"Damn it, they don't even take us seriously! Don't underestimate us!" The fighters around Ohma and Rito were dissatisfied and launched an attack on the two of them. However, the difference in their strength was too great, and they were quickly dealt with by Ohma and Rito.

"So amazing..." Not only Kanon, but Akiyama was also observing. She could sense that Ohma and Rito's level was several levels higher than the others, and they could easily crush a group of them.

However, Rito soon encountered a formidable opponent, "Beastman" George, a skilled fighter, especially adept at grappling techniques. He ambushed Rito from behind and restrained him.

"You can't fight back in this position, haha, you brute, prepare to die!"

"Damn it, watch me break free!" This posture was indeed very clever. Rito could only muster all his strength to wrestle with Saji and break the lock by brute force.

On the other side, Tokita Ohma was still wreaking havoc, the brightest star in the glass room melee. He advanced all the way and gradually approached the location of Kanon.

"Oh?" Hanon sneered. He hadn't expected that the first one to come after him, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, would be Tokita. He was truly unlucky...

Unfortunately, Kanon and Ohma did not meet in advance. Another "star" from the glass room rushed over. He was a strong black fighter who charged and defeated his opponents, and he ended up standing between the two of them.

After scanning the room, the black man's gaze fell on Hanon: "Alright, you're my next prey!"

Section 93, Chapter 92: Rocket Punch

"You chose me in the end? That's such a silly thing to do~" Hanon straightened up, no longer lounging in the corner, and officially began her journey in the elimination tournament.

Upstairs, Miho was watching the match while searching for Kanon's name on the big screen. Beside her were Adam, Yamashita Kazuo (with whom she had unexpectedly struck up a conversation), and several other small business owners; everyone was placing bets on the preliminary results.

Choosing 5 out of 123 really tests one's judgment, but Miho already had someone in mind. She didn't need to guess all five of the contestants; trusting Kanon was enough.

"Suoh Seitetsu, embossed flowers... Fravo Sander, 1 billion yen!" This amount of money is a drop in the bucket for most Kengan Kai members, but it is all the liquid funds that Suoh Seitetsu can come up with after paying off his debts. Moreover, the club presidents who participated in the betting did not have the same confidence that Miho had in Kanon, and few dared to place a heavy bet on a fighter.

"Wow, President Suoh has such a spirit! So confident!" Thanks to Kanon and Adam's activities, Miho is now a rising star of the Kengan Association with some fame, and quite a few people in the neighborhood know her.

"But President Suoh's Flavor is up against that Jerry Tyson." Some people were pouring cold water on the idea, saying, "It might be a tough fight."

Jerry Tyson, an American, is a fighter representing 22nd Century Fax. He has a perfect record of three wins in three fights at Kengan, making him a very strong fighter.

At this moment, Jerry faced Hanon and adopted a very strange posture, with his fists clasped together and outstretched, his legs bent and his back hunched, and his center of gravity very low.

"Strange posture..." Hanon was a little confused. Her knowledge of martial arts was not very extensive, and besides, Jerry's fighting techniques had many original elements.

Speaking of which, Jerry Tyson's martial arts have quite a connection with Kanon, because the foundation of Jerry's martial arts is Chinese boxing. He studied Xingyi Quan in China when he was young, and after a long time, he wondered: "Why do humans, who are at the top of the food chain, imitate animals? Why not imitate those great things, like... firearms?" With this in mind, Jerry spent many years honing his martial arts skills and eventually created a set of Xingyi Quan based on firearms, called "J-style Xingyi Quan".

Hana didn't recognize this martial art, but she knew that this posture of bending her legs and lowering her center of gravity must be the starting move for a quick charge. All she had to do was wait for the opponent to come over.

Sure enough, Jerry pushed off with both legs and launched his charge. His power was fluid and natural, highly concentrated, and both the weight of his attack and his body balance were perfect. He was like a cannonball, and this was the move that had knocked down several fighters in his path.

Seeing his fierce attack, Huayin didn't take it head-on. Instead, she dodged to the side, but then Jerry twisted his waist and hips, changing his direction of attack at lightning speed and charging at Huayin again.

"You change tactics so quickly!" Hanon praised. Such a powerful charge, yet you can change tactics so quickly. This guy's lower body is really stable.

Kanon dodged again, and Jerry pursued once more. For a moment, the attacks were relentless, making Kanon appear to be constantly dodging and thus at a disadvantage.

"Kanon, be careful!" Miho, who was on the second floor, couldn't help but worry.

In reality, Kanon was completely at ease and wasn't intimidated by Jerry's attack. In terms of speed, while Kanon might not be the fastest fighter, she was still fast enough to catch up with Sasuke—no, lightning bolt wielder. As for changing her moves, Kanon, with her "Disorder" divine technique, might actually be a force to be reckoned with among fighters, far surpassing Jerry's ability to force a change of direction using lower body strength. Therefore, this attack posed no threat to her at all.

Jerry knocked down several more fighters blocking his way during his charge, but he couldn't touch a hair on Hanon's head. Although his offensive continued, he couldn't help but get a little annoyed: "Damn it, damn it, Boy, you're really good at dodging!" Hanon was dressed as a man at the time, and she was short and moved with agility, so Jerry subconsciously mistook her for "Boy".

Jerry charged forward, and just as he was about to crash into Tokita Ohma, Ohma swung his hands, deflecting the force of his charge and leading Jerry toward the wall.

Jerry, being a skilled fighter, wouldn't just crash into the wall like that. He did a somersault, pushing off the wall with both legs, which actually increased his speed, and he charged towards... Secretary Akiyama with even greater momentum.

"Huh? Why is there a girl standing in the path?" Jerry panicked too. "Change course? Emergency brakes? No way, it'll be too late in this situation..."

"Think fast, Jerry Tyson! What should we do? What should we do? There's no way..."

"Girl, I'm sorry, you might... probably won't die."

The last thing Akiyama Kaede saw was Jerry's bewildered expression, a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Bang!" Jerry didn't hit Akiyama. In that instant, Tokita Ohma tensed his muscles and used "Unbreakable" to withstand Jerry's super heavyweight charge.

Even faster than Wangma and Jerry was Kanon, who rushed forward first, grabbed Akiyama, and avoided Jerry's charge.

"So fast!" That was everyone's thought, including Wang Ma, Jerry, Akiyama Kaede, and the audience on the second floor, as well as another fighter whose face was wrapped in bandages.

Hasad, the representative of Beirut Oil, has a perfect record of seventeen wins in boxing matches and is known as the "Arabian Whirlwind".

Hassad is not a cold-hearted person. On the contrary, when he saw Akiyama in danger, he was also preparing to rush over to save him. However, he was farther away and a step slower than Hanon. Seeing that Akiyama had been rescued, he stopped halfway.

Shocked by Kanon's speed, Hassad silently assessed: "This person is about as fast as me, but judging from her effortless manner, she might be holding back. No wonder she broke my record, Flavor. I should get to know her sometime."

That's right. Before Kanon set the record for the fastest knockout in the Kengan Tournament in one second, the fastest fighter in the Kengan Tournament was Hazard.

"Hey, put me down right now!" Being held in the arms of a strange "man" in an ambiguous position, Akiyama Kaede blushed with embarrassment and struggled to get down.

"Okay..." Hanon responded subconsciously, but forgot to use her gruff voice, which startled Akiyama Kaede: "Why is Flavor's voice so shrill?"

Realizing something was wrong, Kanon quickly shut up, silently put Akiyama down, and walked to the side. After taking those few steps, Kanon happened to come face to face with Hassad.

"Oh my, are the two fastest fighters in the Kengan Association finally going to meet?" A commotion broke out among the audience on the second floor: "It's amazing to see two lightning-fast fighters battle in the qualifiers!"

Unfortunately, Kanon and Hassad didn't actually fight. The two, who had little to do with each other, had already gotten into a fighting stance when they were abruptly interrupted: "Hey, Flavo! I've come to get my revenge on you!"
