The man in the suit pressed the remote control in his hand, and images immediately appeared on the projector.
Raging seawater roared, like an out-of-control beast. The seawater raged, flooding human cities, and rampaging through the city. Inside the seawater were also many terrifying sea creatures, arbitrarily harvesting lives that fell into the water.
The man in the suit said with a sad face: "This seawater from another world has swallowed twenty percent of our cities. Now, the seawater has been stopped by the topography. We have lost many human comrades. Fortunately, the sea disaster has been successfully dealt with."
All the heroes frowned.
The man in the suit pressed the remote control again. The screen changed, and began playing some videos. In those videos appeared many strangely shaped sea creatures, and even some oddly dressed humans riding ships.
They burned, killed, and plundered, committing all kinds of evil. Their wild laughter was heard everywhere in the recordings.
"Pirates!"
Saitama recognized them.
He was the third-ranked existence on the Golden List, of course he knew some information about the Pirate World. The pirate flags flying on the masts were very conspicuous.
"Correct!"
The man in the suit nodded: "Those are Pirates. They are mysterious organizations from another world, living at sea year-round. They have a different power system, and even some special people have very strange abilities, called Devil Fruit users."
Atomic Samurai nodded: "I encountered a man while on a mission two days ago. He must be the Devil Fruit user you mentioned. He could transform his body into a beast. His combat power skyrocketed and was very difficult to deal with!"
Several other heroes also nodded, clearly they had some knowledge.
"Yes!"
The man in the suit looked serious: "The threat to us now doesn't only come from monsters, but also from fellow humans. Some of them are good, some are evil. Similar to the Monster Association, they are a group whose souls have fallen!"
"We need to become stronger, much stronger, to protect our home!"
The man in the suit spoke with full spirit, looking toward the heroes, his emotions surging. He suddenly struck the marble table hard, then fell silent.
"???"
The heroes were slightly confused.
Why stop talking?
They saw the man in the suit covering his hand and crouching silently, his body continuously trembling.
The heroes: "..."
A few minutes later, the man in the suit recovered his composure, adjusted his emotions, stood up, and continued speaking as if nothing happened.
"Currently, the Hero Association has discussed and formulated some solutions that will be beneficial to you all, and even all of humanity!"
The heroes immediately got excited, looking toward the man in the suit with interest.
The man in the suit said: "I already know that the Golden List that appeared in the sky has changed the world, and also ranked the experts throughout the world. And the Hero Association has four people on the list!"
While speaking, he smiled looking toward Saitama and Tatsumaki.
"Mr. Saitama, Blast, Tatsumaki, and Watchdog Man!"
The man in the suit said: "This is an honor for us, especially Mr. Saitama, who truly amazes me. You're so strong, ranked third in the entire world!"
Saitama scratched his head: "Actually I didn't expect I was this strong either. It's just basic, don't make too much fuss, don't make too much fuss!"
Tatsumaki gritted her teeth and muttered: "That damn baldy, why are you so arrogant—"
The heroes: "..."
The man in the suit pushed his glasses and said: "The strength of these four heroes is undoubtedly, but human power is limited. They are individuals, and their energy is limited. The world is so big, it's impossible to support every place at the same time. So, most of the time we still have to rely on ourselves. Moreover, as far as I know, in the Monster Association, there are also people on the list!"
Silver Fang nodded: "Indeed true. The number of people on the list in the Monster Association is no less than us."
"Exactly!"
The man in the suit sighed: "Of the three worlds, our world's strength is the weakest. Almost ninety percent of experts are in the other two worlds. Fortunately, besides the mysterious first and second rank experts, Mr. Saitama rank three is here, and this is a deterrent! As long as Mr. Saitama is here, they'll also be careful!"
Flashy Flash, rank 13, was already getting impatient: "Can you speak faster and get straight to the point!"
The man in the suit was slightly awkward. He was used to setting the atmosphere and wanted to stir the heroes' emotions, but now it seemed slightly out of place.
He cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice.
"It's like this, we plan to have some heroes specifically capture some experts from other worlds, and obtain their world's training methods from their hands. Think about it, the other two worlds are so strong, and their number of experts far exceeds us. There must be special training methods."
He paused, and continued.
"Their people can train, there's no reason we can't train. As far as I know, the main structure of both these worlds is still human. Even if not everyone can train, as long as more heroes emerge in our world, we can save more human comrades!"
The other heroes' eyes gradually shone.
Genos nodded, also slightly excited: "Right, that's it. Not just ordinary people, we heroes also have room for improvement. If we obtain their training methods, we can surely become stronger, and at that time we'll have greater power to protect humanity!"
In this regard, Saitama and Tatsumaki had more right to speak.
Tatsumaki showed a thoughtful expression, and nodded.
"This idea is very good. Based on information I obtained in the live broadcast space, in the Naruto World, they train a kind of special energy called chakra, which can communicate with natural elements and use extraordinary mysterious power."
"While in that Pirate World, ordinary people can also train their physique to reach a very strong point, and there's even a very systematic training system, it's just not easy to obtain. It seems to be held by forces called the Marines and World Government. Besides that there are Devil Fruits. If we could obtain something like that, someone could immediately leap to become an expert and become a hero no problem."
"Good!"
The man in the suit's face showed joy. He raised his hand, wanting to strike the table, but suddenly stopped, and instead slapped his thigh: "Since everyone agrees, then I'll announce the mission."
The man in the suit looked toward Saitama and Tatsumaki, and said seriously: "God said, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You all, as Golden List experts, must bear this pressure. This mission I entrust to you. I'll also speak with Blast and Watchdog Man. Please bring back people who are stronger as much as possible, so we can obtain more better information!"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Two days later.
City A, Hero Association Headquarters.
The busy staff at headquarters and some heroes who came to receive or submit missions suddenly felt a tremendous tremor.
"What's wrong? Earthquake?!"
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded inside the building. Red lights kept flashing on every floor.
"No need to worry!"
The Hero Association's senior leaders, currently meeting on the upper floor, were very calm: "This building has the strongest defense system. It can be guaranteed safe even in the face of level 12 disasters."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gentle sunlight shining from outside the window suddenly dimmed, covered by a large shadow.
"What's that?"
Someone hurriedly ran to the window and looked out. Their eyes immediately bulged: "Damn!"
At this time, some people on the lower floors had already run out of the building. Then they couldn't help but back away in horror, and screamed: "Monster coming! Monster attacking headquarters!"
The scene immediately became chaotic.
No one expected the Hero Association headquarters would be attacked. After all, there was more than one S-Class Hero on rotating duty here.
"How dare they attack the Hero Association headquarters, truly tired of living!"
Atomic Samurai and Metal Bat walked side by side. They looked up, and were immediately shocked.
Visible above their heads, an extremely large giant monster floated in the air, blocking most of the sunlight, providing extremely terrifying pressure.
"This monster... at least Dragon level!"
Atomic Samurai felt slightly chilled, immediately entered combat mode, and drew the long sword at his waist.
Metal Bat's face was also serious. He gripped the baseball bat in his hand.
"King! It's time, come out quickly. This guy looks difficult to deal with!"
Atomic Samurai took time to shout behind, slightly dissatisfied.
A man with three claw marks on his eyes walked slowly with hands in pockets. He looked up at the terrifying giant floating in the air. A thunderous drum sound came from his chest.
"It appeared! King Engine!"
Someone shouted, their expression joyful. As if after this man appeared, everything could be safe.
S-Class Hero rank 7, King!
Metal Bat and Atomic Samurai looked at each other, also slightly relieved.
Metal Bat said: "Alright, with this person here, it should be safe."
Atomic Samurai nodded: "Right, although this guy looks somewhat emotionless, his strength is still very good."
Then he tilted his head toward the man and said: "Looking at your appearance, seems you're already eager to move. An honorable person won't steal others' pleasure. I'll leave this big giant to you!"
After saying that, he put his sword back in its sheath and walked to the side.
Metal Bat also put the baseball bat back on his shoulder.
It seemed both of them trusted this man greatly.
King: "..."
After a moment of silence, King said: "That... I suddenly want to go to the toilet!"
Atomic Samurai said: "It's time, hold your pee first. With your strength, it shouldn't take long to finish this guy, right? If really can't, you can just pee on him when no one's looking. Ordinary people absolutely can't possibly catch your speed."
King took a deep breath. He had an urge to take off his pants and directly pee on this person's face.
Which bastard raised his name to this level?
He was truly just an ordinary person, damn it!
Just because of a series of coincidences plus his cold and fierce appearance, he managed to become an S-Class hero.
If not for his luck, he would've died long ago.
It seemed today, his luck might end.
"King! Hang in there, I believe in you!"
"Finish him! King, I want to have your baby!"
"King, don't worry. If you get hurt, I'll operate on you. I'm the woman with the highest medical skills in the entire Hero Association. Whichever part breaks off I'll replace!"
"... I truly thank you!"
King was pushed by the situation. Because the situation didn't allow it, he was forced to exit the building, facing this terrifying monster directly.
In front of this monster, humans were as small as ants.
*THUD-THUD-THUD!*
The King Engine sound got louder. Everyone became excited. They knew this was the beginning of King's action. Once he moved, the monster before him might not even be able to withstand a single punch.
"Finally he'll move..."
Atomic Samurai crossed his arms and leaned on the doorframe, his eyes shining: "Since this guy became an S-Class hero, I've never seen him move. I'm very much looking forward to it..."
Metal Bat nodded: "His strength is indeed very strong. This special attack introduction makes me feel great pressure. Perhaps his strength is enough to enter the top three, might rival Tatsumaki, I don't know why he didn't make the Golden List."
Right at this moment, a woman's voice came from the air: "Move aside everyone, clear space for me. No view. So many people gathered here, where should I put this thing?"
"???"
Everyone looked up shocked. Visible was a green-haired girl wearing a black dress floating down from the air, and floating in front of King. She looked King up and down, and nodded: "Indeed worthy of being the legendary King. Facing a giant this big without fear, and still wanting to move. Good. I myself needed some effort to clean up this big giant, because he was in the sea."
After saying that, she waved her hand.
The surrounding crowd was suddenly pushed by invisible force, clearing a wide area.
Then, the large giant in the air fell with a loud sound, right in front of King. The ground around the Hero Association had been reinforced, but even couldn't withstand the pressure of this force, immediately shattered to pieces, revealing terrifying cracks.
King still stood in place with hands in pockets, face expressionless, and looked very cool.
Tatsumaki patted his shoulder, praising: "Very good. Facing a collapsing mountain without changing facial expression. Has the aura of an expert. Perhaps the S-Class hero ranking should be changed."
After saying that, she walked toward the headquarters building.
King stood still and unmoving. His deep back gave a great sense of security. Many young girls showed infatuated expressions.
"He's so macho! I want to sleep with him!"
"He gives such a sense of security! I'm willing to have him ghost me a hundred times!"
"If you want to marry, marry a man like this!"
Atomic Samurai and Metal Bat saw Tatsumaki entering, showing dissatisfied expressions: "So it was you making the commotion. You made us shocked. I thought there was a monster attacking headquarters!"
Tatsumaki sneered: "Your auras are far worse than King's. Look at him!"
Atomic Samurai looked at the man's back, and praised sincerely: "He's indeed a very strong man!"
