One Punch of Justice

An immense surge of power was unleashed in an instant!

The sky, the thunderclouds, The Ark Maxim, and everything in front of Saitama were decimated by the sheer power of his punch, leaving nothing but debris!

Enel, floating in the air, stared in utter shock. He tried to scream in terror, but no sound came out.

He had never seen or even imagined such immense strength. This attack, defying all natural laws, seemed capable of obliterating the entire world with a single strike. It was something that belonged only in the realm of fantasy and legends.

But today…

“Unbelievable! This power… It’s unimaginable!

What a horrifying beast!

With just one single punch, everything vanished!

The sky, torn apart by the sheer force, as if the world split in two!

Control over nature?

Godly might?

None of it matters anymore.

In the face of that devastating blow, all laws crumble.

That bald man, defying all logic!”

Enel’s final words trembled with disbelief. He never imagined his life would end like this.

“One down.”

Saitama clapped his hands, his cape fluttering behind him. He turned to the middle-aged woman and asked,

“So, what about the next one? That ‘Golden Lion’? Can you tell me where to find him?”

The people stood there, stunned and astounded.

They never thought they would witness the day when their mighty god would be defeated. And by whom? By someone so seemingly weak!

Despite his ordinary appearance, for some inexplicable reason, when you gaze into his eyes, an undeniable feeling of confidence washes over you.

“I’m sorry, Skypiea is a big area, and I don’t know where Shiki is right now…”

The middle-aged woman tightened her fist and said, “From what I know, Shiki is throwing a big party at the God’s Shrine in Upper Yard in just three days.

Some visitors from the Blue Sea, who are called pirates, will be there.”

Saitama responded casually, “I see.”

The middle-aged woman’s face expressed a mix of sadness and desperation as she continued, “This morning, the God’s Army collected an extra portion of food, on top of our regular monthly taxes.

They said it was for the upcoming event in three days.

The remaining food is barely enough for us to survive.

It feels like we’re trapped with no way out.” She paused, tears welling up in her eyes, and then said, “I’m begging you, please, we need help… Save us… Please!”

Saitama nodded, determination in his eyes, “Got it. I’ll do what I can.”

—————————————————————–

The Heavenly World refers to a series of three floating islands, all under the control of the Golden Lion’s powers.

These islands are interconnected by Skypiea’s unique cloud layers, creating a complex network of pathways.

Originally, Shiki planned to monitor the slaves’ whereabouts by deploying surveillance Den Den Mushi throughout their living areas.

But, Skypiea presented a challenge.

Firstly, Enel’s exceptional “Mantra” ability proved far more effective than surveillance Den Den Mushi, making it a hundred times better for surveillance.

Secondly, in an effort to win Enel’s loyalty and trust, Shiki refrained from placing surveillance Den Den Mushi in the territories Enel governed, giving him considerable independence.

This generous display of autonomy left him completely ignorant of recent developments, including the significant death of Enel by Saitama.

As expected, he actively participated in the meeting, completely oblivious to the unfolding events.

—————————————————————–

Three days later.

The palace where Shiki resided stood proudly at a soaring altitude atop a colossal beanstalk.

Its architecture exuded a refined charm, complemented by the serene and picturesque surroundings.

As the designated seat of power from which the Golden Lion planned to conquer the four seas and the new world, the palace had surpassed the mere description of opulence and splendor.

With the abundant reserves of gold resources obtained from the Sky Islands, the lavishness and extravagance of the palace were truly staggering, surpassing all expectations.

-The party day-

A group of pirates arrived at the palace, carrying special invitations given to them by the Golden Lion through secretive channels.

They gathered in the jardin, indulging in a grand feast with delicious food and drinks, creating a lively and joyous atmosphere.

In the celestial realm, precise instructions from Shiki were needed for access.

But, the pirates freely entered and exited without any checks on their invitations.

In the midst of the crowd, a weathered, bald man and a captivating swordswoman with glasses effortlessly sneaked into the palace, blending in with the festivities…

“Wow… This place is truly extravagant,” Tashigi remarked as they entered the palace.

The place was engulfed in chaos as pirates danced, shouted, and laughed uproariously… Among them, stunning girls with small wings on the backs gracefully carried trays laden with food and drinks, their faces betraying an undercurrent of fear.

The two unexpected visitors found an unoccupied place and discreetly observed their surroundings, trying to spot their target.

Within seconds, a young Sky Islands girl approached them, emanating an air of politeness and grace. A mix of fear and respect could be sensed in her demeanor as she cautiously offered two glasses of rum.

“Ah, thank you!”

Tashigi quickly took the glasses and kept them out of sight. Leaning towards Saitama, she whispered, “Saitama-san, it seems all the kidnapped girls from the Sky Islands are here. That’s why…”

“Mmmm”

Saitama nodded, his mind curious about the fate of the captured young men. “I wonder where they’ve taken those boys…”

Before he could finish his thought, tan unexpected guest joined the table, a pirate who took a seat.

“Hey, kid, mind if I join you here?” A burly man with a mustache asked, emitting a bit of roughness. “I’m Clark, came all the way from the East Blue. What’s your name? How about sharing a drink?”

Saitama glanced at him and shook his head, “No thanks.”

“Hey, come on, don’t be rude!”

Clark playfully rapped his knuckles on the table and shifted his gaze towards Tashigi, a lecherous glint in his eyes. “Man, you’re lucky. Having such a pretty girl by your side. Is she your subordinate? She’s hot…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Tashigi swiftly drew her sword, placing its blade against Clark’s neck, her eyes shooting a fierce and resolute look.

“Shut your mouth, you damn pirate!”

The blade glinted menacingly.

Clark was startled, raising his hands defensively. “Hey, take it easy… we’re all pirates here, no need to be so serious, ok?

I’ve got my own girls too. Once we join Shiki, he said we can have any of these Sky Island girls we want.

You might be cute, but with your bad attitude, you’re not worth dating, just a friend…”

“Damn that Gold Lion…”

Tashigi, couldn’t hide her disgust at the way women were treated as mere possessions to be gifted.

Pirates would always be pirates.

They never regarded the Sky Island people as equals.

Slaves, beasts, merchandise.

That’s how Shiki valued the lives of those commoners.

“Hey, you!”

Saitama turned back, his expression puzzled. “Why did that Lion gather you here?”

“To form alliances. Aren’t you here for the same reason?”

Clark cautiously moved away from the edge of Tashigi’s blade and continued, “Shiki has been making waves lately. You must have heard, right? He destroyed Roguetown and even killed all the stationed Marines! Hahaha…”

“Stationed Marines!…

Smoker-san!” Tashigi was taken aback, her mind racing in disbelief.

“It couldn’t be!…

That’s a lie!

Vice Admiral Smoker might not be as powerful as Saitama-san, but he was not someone who could be easily defeated!

He must still be alive!

He must be!”

Her heart pounded with worry and concern for her old friend.

Tashigi couldn’t fathom the idea of Smoker being defeated.

The news had shaken her to the core, but she was resolute in her belief that Smoker was strong enough to survive any ordeal.
