Chapter 35 - Chapter 35 – “Bald Cape Man”? What the heck is THAT supposed to be?!

Across the myriad worlds, countless people fell into thought.

Some agreed with Obito's ideals.

Others thought he was simply insane.

One Piece World — Marineford

"Sons of Laughter… Madara represented 'lack of comrades,' Obito represented 'lack of love.'" Sengoku narrowed his eyes. "What will the remaining two represent…?"

No one answered.

Everyone was deep in thought — Obito's words had struck at some of their beliefs.

Seeing the room swallowed by silence, Sengoku frowned.

"What's wrong with all of you? Why the long faces? This isn't how Marines act."

Garp lazily waved his hand.

"Let the youngsters think, old man. You don't need to babysit them."

Sengoku glared at him, but the casual expression on Garp's face made him sigh internally.

He knew exactly what was happening — people were shaken, and he was trying to snap them out of it.

But Garp?

Chaos incarnate.

He gave up.

Right then, a new video suddenly appeared on the screen.

"The next member of the Laughing Four?" Sengoku straightened in anticipation… but after reading the title, his expression froze.

"Bald Cape Man?"

No!

He is — One Punch Man!]]

"…Bald Cape Man?"

Everyone exchanged weird looks.

What kind of nickname was THAT??

It sounded…

pathetic.

Still, curiosity won.

They hit "play."

They had to see for themselves what this so-called Bald Cape Man was capable of.

One Punch Man World — Z-City

"Bald Cape Man? Hey, Genos — that's the exact same name they gave me at the Hero Association…" Saitama leaned forward, mildly intrigued.

For the first time ever, someone out there had the same "taste" as him?

He suddenly felt invested.

Genos, however, stiffened.

Something in his cyborg intuition screamed:

This is going to be about Sensei… isn't it?

"No way another world has someone with exactly the same nickname… unless…"

Genos glanced at his master.

Given Saitama's strength, getting featured in a cross-world ranking made perfect sense.

Both watched the screen.

A red fist filled the frame—

BOOM!!!!

A massive impact shook the scene.

The camera rose—

Red boots.

A white cape.

A yellow jumpsuit.

And a blindingly reflective bald head.

A man.

An incredibly unimpressive-looking man.

But what he did next made every viewer across every world stop breathing.

Before him stood a hulking monstrosity — muscular, scaled, fanged.

The caption appeared:

[Deep Sea King]

The creature leered, hand reaching forward to crush the human before him—

BAM!!!!

Everyone froze.

The monster's chest had been blown open.

One punch.

Just one.

And the fearsome monster simply… died.

The bald man casually retracted his fist.

The world erupted in shock.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?"

"He punched a HOLE through him!!"

"That baldy is a MONSTER!!!"

All minds echoed back to the title:

One Punch Man.

And indeed—

He truly solved things…

in one punch.

Even Saitama himself grinned a little.

One Punch Man World

Saitama scratched his shiny head.

"Hey Genos… should I change my hero name from Bald Cape Man to One Punch Man?"

Genos actually smiled.

"It suits you perfectly, Sensei. It directly conveys your overwhelming power."

"Hmmm… maybe. But 'Bald Cape Man' has a charm too…"

Saitama mused.

Genos held back a sigh.

Yes… a charm…

Back to the Video

After punching Deep Sea King into modern art, Saitama walked away with absolute calm — as if he'd just swatted a fly.

His cape fluttered behind him.

Then the scene shifted—

To a bustling city.

Peaceful.

Bustling.

Normal.

A jarring contrast compared to the explosions and battles of previous chapters.

People wondered why—

Until—

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

Half the city vanished in an instant.

Tens of thousands died.

Only the towering Hero Association HQ remained standing.

Gasps erupted across countless worlds.

"An entire city… destroyed instantly!?"

"What kind of attack was that!?"

"Where's the enemy? Who can do something like this!?"

On screen—

The camera panned upward.

A wave of oppressive, alien energy filled the atmosphere.

A gigantic shadow loomed.

Revealed in full—

A colossal spaceship.

A floating fortress of war.

The destruction of City A…

Had come from this monstrosity.

People across the worlds stared wide-eyed.

Just what kind of enemy were they about to witness?
