Yuujiro didn't hold back.
He didn't play like he usually was. Holding back and playing with his enemy didn't even cross his mind currently since he knew Shishio was different from any opponents that he had ever crossed in his life.
In his life, there were many types of people that he had fought, but there had always been two types of people.
One was someone who was strong. Either they were talented fighters, they had powerful bodies or both. However, such an opponent was easy to deal with since they were usually a loner and weren't rich. As long as he crushed their spirits or killed them, no one thought too much about it.
The second type was an influential person with a brain. They weren't that powerful, but they had a lot of powerful people under him, but this was the easiest to deal with since those people under him weren't exactly loyal, and they were moving based on their interests.
As long as he killed the boss, everything was done.
Then, based on his experience, who was the strongest?
If he had to, it would be the United States.
During his youth, he went to Vietnam to join the Vietnam War, and in that place, he didn't become an ally of anyone. Instead, he just wanted to taste the thrill of war, killing both sides without mercy.
His existence was simply a problem, and he was targeted by the United States.
Whether it was bombing, ganging, shooting, or many others, he received all of them.
Even the honey trap.
However, he wasn't killed. Instead, he won and forced the United States to sign unfair treatment, telling the country to bow down to him.
The United States also agreed since the price of fighting this demon wasn't worth it, so they lowered their pride, and this man conquered them.
After that, no matter who had fought, he won, and everything became boring, so he thought to create children since if it was his children, they would be strong, right?
When they were born, he knew that they would challenge him, and it would be fun.
Still, everything changed when he heard the name Shishio Oga.
In the beginning, he only scoffed at this young man, but when he did so, he suddenly felt that he couldn't get him out of his mind, and in the end, he decided to visit him.
Before he visited Shishio, he planned to visit Tokugawa, but maybe fate helped him, so they quickly met each other.
The moment they met, they knew instantly they would be an enemy.
They would kill each other, and there was no mercy.
The lost one would be dying and lying on the ground lifelessly.
There was no gentlemanly fight where the winner would stop as long as the loser gave up or passed out.
The conclusion of their fight was only one, either killed or to be killed.
This was also why he kept provoking Shishio, telling him that he was going to do his women.
Yet, to be honest, he felt a bit regretful to do that since he realized that this young man was crueler than he had thought.
If it was modern people, they would think that killing was a cruel thing. It was the cruelest thing one had ever done since killing someone; you would take away people's right to life.
Yet similar to him, Shishio thought the rest of humanity, except for his women, family, and the people he cared about, was nothing but a bug.
It was the same as Yuujiro, who cared about his treasured son, Baki Hanma.
Baki Hanma was an amazing boy, especially at how talented he was at fighting.
As the champion of the Underground Fighting, Baki Hanma was famous, and he also made a lot of connections with many people. Similar to how he cared about them, they also cared about him. If he was in trouble, they would come to help, including Tokugawa.
More importantly, he was so pure that in his head, all he thought was how to defeat his father.
The relationship between a father and a son is complex, especially when the father killed the mother, causing the son to hate, yet also expected him to be gentle.
Even in the past, there was also a fight between a father and a son, which was rather famous.
While the fight wasn't recorded, the people who watched it, especially those fighters, were quickly moved by this pair of a father and a son.
Some people even kneeled to worship Yuujiro.
However, what did that have to do with Shishio?
Shishio only wanted to have a peaceful life with his women, yet this guy interrupted him, so he would destroy everything Yuujiro loved.
Even if Yuujiro might seem heartless and didn't care about them, who could see what was inside his heart?
Even if Yuujiro might not care about those people, Shishio didn't care since, as he had said before, he was going to erase all the Hanma's blood and the people who were related to him in this world.
To be honest, Shishio didn't understand Yuujiro.
From his understanding of Yuujiro, Shishio knew that this guy was just bored.
As the strongest person in the world, no one could become his enemy.
Whether it was a master martial, fighters, criminals, wild beasts, organizations, or even a country, they were nothing in front of Yuujiro's fists.
As someone who stood on the top of the food chain, it wouldn't be weird to call him a god in this world.
But even so, so what?
Similar to the stupid karate-ka, whose name he had forgotten, even if Yuujiro was a god, devil, demon, ogre, or whatever, Shishio was going to kill him since he didn't want to be killed.
Yet, he had to say Yuujiro was strong.
His body was several times stronger than an average adult's, yet for him to tear the sound barrier definitely wasn't something easy. He needed some preparation, but Yuujiro could do all of that casually.
With Yuujiro's speed alone, everyone who faced him would die already.
There was no mercy on Yuujiro's fist. As he slammed his fist, he had the intention to kill Shishio, smashing Shishio's head like a crushed watermelon, but he didn't expect that Shishio would meet his fist.
While this action stupified him for a moment, Yuujiro quickly grinned since this was probably the fight that he was looking for.
"Haha? Are you going to meet my fist? Good! Let's see who is stronger?"
Their fists met, but as expected, Shishio was thrown.
*BOOOOM!*
Shishio's body was blown away as he crashed into the shipping container, causing the dust to fly everywhere.
However, Yuujiro didn't chase after Shishio. Instead, he stood in a place, frowning, looking at his bleeding fist. When he thought they would trade their fists, he didn't expect Shishio to be so sneaky as to put a blade between his fingers.
If it was a normal blade, it would bend or crash the moment it touched his fist, but this blade was special since it was tempered by Shishio's "Blacksmith Mastery," causing a deep wound on his fist.
Normal people would have their fists disabled at this moment, but Yuujiro merely frowned, took the blade, threw it casually, and clenched his fist tighter, causing the blood to stop. He could feel the pain, but it was nothing, especially when many parts of his body were stuck with bullets.
Yet, suddenly, a kunai was about to strike his neck, but he quickly caught it with his hand.
"What a sneaky little bitch!"
Yuujiro was full of a bloodthirsty aura, showing how angry he was. He might have expected a strong opponent that could wake him up from a boring-like life, but it didn't mean he couldn't get angry.
Shishio's way of fighting was so cunning. He placed many traps, using weapons, and many others.
While there were few fighters whose fighting style was similar to Shishio, Yuujiro had never fought someone as strong as Shishio. After all, those who used ninjutsu usually had weak bodies; one punch from him was enough to massacre them.
Still, even if Yuujiro caught the kunai, Shishio didn't stop. Instead, his hands kept moving, throwing kunai, shuriken, and various other hidden weapons, including stones like a machine gun.
"What's the use of those toys?!"
Yuujiro had a wild beast-like instinct, so he knew that not all those hidden weapons thrown by Shishio didn't pose a threat to him. Instead, they were all useless, especially when they couldn't cause harm to his body. Furthermore, he knew that Shishio didn't have unlimited possession of a dangerous hidden weapon and only had some, so Shishio mixed his weapons with something he found around him.
Yet even if it did nothing, Yuujiro had to admit it annoyed him.
Shishio's throwing technique was just otherworldly. He had always aimed for vitals from eyes, crotch, various holes on Yuujiro's body, and many other things.
However, no matter how many times Shishio threw something, they were useless.
After all, could a diamond be broken by a stone?
Yet, Yuujiro regretted this action since he suddenly felt something warm and smelled an unpleasant stench on his face.
"What is this?"
As Shishio's attack stopped, Yuujiro rubbed his face with a frown.
"Dog shit. Do you like it?"
Shishio didn't like Yuujiro, especially when this guy was so arrogant, so he threw a dog shit, and as expected, this guy didn't dodge, which was funny.
"........"
"YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!!"
Yuujiro's anger was like a volcanic eruption, and he dashed in Shishio's direction madly.
"Do you think you are invincible under that dust? You're wrong!"
This time, Yuujiro wanted Shishio to pay and directly entered Shishio's playground. Even if the area was hard to see, especially with a lot of dust that surrounded the area, he could still pinpoint where Shishio was. His instincts and senses were similar to a beast. It was impossible for Shishio to hide, but even so, he had to say it was so troublesome to catch Shishio since he was so slippery, like an eel.
"Don't run, bastard!"
However, Shishio kept dodging, and his figure was like a matador dodging a raging bull. Still, unlike the matador with red clothes, he held a knife and caused several cut wounds on Yuujiro's body.
Yuujiro's speed might be fast, but he had a lot of trouble under this dust.
*BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!*
But even so, Yuujiro quickly adapted and found Shishio's pattern. He kept waving his fists around, causing all the shipping containers in the area to fly around and make a mess everywhere. More importantly, it seemed that those shipping containers contained flour, which caused dust and flour to mix everywhere, covering this place and making his figure even harder to see
Moreover, it was hard to breathe since, with how thick the dust and the flour were, the oxygen was minimal.
Even worse, they were fighting intensely, causing the oxygen in their lungs to deplete quickly.
However, whether Shishio or Yuujiro, they weren't ordinary people, so they could hold on, but in the end, Yuujiro caught Shishio.
*Crack!*
Yuujiro's fist hit Shishio's shoulder, causing Shishio to fly into the distance. He knew that this punch should have caused a lot of damage to Shishio, so he wasn't in a hurry to chase after him.
This was the problem of all the strongest people.
Arrogant.
As long as they were powerful, they would think that no one in this world could defeat them.
"How is it? Do you have any other tricks? Or is that all?"
Even if Shishio had angered him, it had been so long since Yuujiro had so much fun fighting. Usually, his body would be unscathed, but under Shishio's attacks, he had a lot of wounds. Nevertheless, he had so much fun that he felt it was a waste to finish this fight.
"You're strong," Shishio answered.
"Oh? You're still alive?"
Yuujiro thought that after that punch, Shishio would crumble in fear and might even bow desperately at him, yet he didn't expect that Shishio would still have the courage to fight him.
"But it seems you are not that smart."
Shishio's tone seemed at ease, and everything seemed under his control.
"What do you mean?" Yuujiro's body was tense since his instinct told him this place was dangerous, but everything was too late.
"Have you heard about a dust explosion?"
A little spark ignited in the middle area, covered by dust and flour, and suddenly an explosion happened.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!*
