Chapter 124: Muscles Are Justice

When Jenazad and the fake Saiga were about to attack my back, Ogata and Akira attacked them from the sides in a pincer attack.

Ogata and Akira were really strong martial artists, they could even surpass the Ryozanpaku experts except for Hayato and Akisame, but still, the two of them were weaker than Yami's two experts.

Even though Ogata and Akira were weaker than Jenazad and the fake Saiga, the latter two had completely focused on doing a stupid villain act so they were knocked off with a palm strike from Ogata and a blow to the nerves Akira.

When Jenazad and the fake Saiga fell back, Ogata and Akira did not continue to attack and took their fighting stances while turning their backs on me to protect me, how moving.

"The fight is over" - Ogata began to circulate his Ki joining the Ki Dou and Ki Sei in a single flow through his personal technique, Seidou Gōitsu. - "My disciple has won, I will not let you stain this magnificent fight"

Akira did not say a word and took a stance of absolute attack giving up the defense.

Jenazad started laughing and although I couldn't see his expression due to his mask, it's obvious that he's furious. - "Kekeke, although I am not surprised that Akira is protecting one of his disciples since he is a sentimental idiot, I did not expect that you, Ogata, are betraying Yami's interests"

Ogata was smiling not caring that this fight could cost him his life. - "My disciple, my rules, if you have a problem with that then you can try to kill me"

Navi appeared next to me while Yami's experts had a discussion about loyalty, the nature of martial arts, and all sorts of stupid things. - "Hey Listen! I like that idiot! "

"You like all idiots" - I sighed as I mentally communicated with the idiot.

"That's a lie!" - Navi started laughing. - "I only like idiots who are single! Idiots with beautiful women in their lives will only be your victims! Muahahaha! "

... Whatever, I'm worried that this idiot seems to be right.

"How are things with the girls?" - I asked while using Hamon breathing to regain some of my energy.

Tsubaki was using her own spiritual energy to help me recover so she was silent, using her own energy to help me required a lot of concentration.

"Hey Listen! Your women found out that you escaped the island and they are furious! I estimate it will take them an hour to get here! " - Navi was having fun.

It's enough time to finish this stupid thing, it hasn't even been 10 minutes since I started my attack on Yami's ship.

"For now stay here and help me fight" - I regained enough energy to fight.

Ouganosuke has recovered 60% of his strength which leaves him at a similar level to Mikumo, that will be enough to be of help.

Combining his strength with Ogata and Akira it will not be impossible to assassinate the other Yami experts who are beginning to approach to help Jenazad and the false Saiga.

"Hey Listen! Hey don't kill all these idiots! " - Navi yelled as I made my plans to end this.

"Now why?" - I sighed.

"The person in heavy armor is a woman!" - Navi yelled with joy.

"So what?" - Damn Navi with a collector's complex.

"You have to add the beautiful and talented women in your harem! Killing a tall, muscular woman would be a waste! " - Navi was talking to me like I was an idiot which was bugging me.

"Navi, since this fight started I was almost killed 10 times, I don't have time to think about picking up women" - This idiot is going to give me gastritis from anger.

"You are an uneducated pig! I know you love six-pack abs like Mildred's! She Now she stops crying like a bitch and she goes to seduce the woman in armor! " - Navi tried to hit my head, but he is incapable of causing damage so he felt like a cotton ball, it was still annoying. - "Let's go! Do it for the greater good! "

I sighed. - "Bastard…. It's fine"

"Muahahahaha I knew you wouldn't disappoint me!" - Navi yelled with joy.

I stood up and turned around to look at Akira and Ogata who were still arguing with Jenazad.

You guys are supposed to be martial artists so stop talking and start killing each other with flashy blows, how annoying.

"Oh, you really managed to stand up, you're an amazing boy" - Ogata didn't look at me, but his voice was full of pride.

Akira gave a subtle nod of acknowledgment, a man of few words.

"Thank you for helping me, but you will be in danger" - I spoke showing concern in my voice as I showed tiredness and weakness.

"Are you underestimating me?" - Ogata frowned.

"No" - I let out a tired sigh. - "I do not intend to prevent you from fighting, I just do not want to see my master die without reaching the top of martial arts"

"..." - Ogata was silent, but something happened that I could never predict in my damn life, that idiot increased his strength for no reason.

[System notification: A special requirement has been met. Your words have managed to modify the Destiny of a Character who considers you a friend]

[System notification: New energy has been unlocked]

[New Energy: Nakama Power (10%)]

[Nakama Power: Do you want a Power-Up? Have a Power-Up son of a bitch!

Your words of encouragement and camaraderie can give a temporary power boost to allies who see you as a friend or partner. The increase in power is determined by the feelings of friendship that the person feels towards the user and the user's Will statistic. Power increases can become permanent if special requirements are met.

Warning: The user's Destiny Energy is given to allies so using this energy excessively can cause the user's Destiny to collapse.

Warning: If the person who receives Nakama Power is much weaker than the user, his body will not support the increase in power which will cause death at the end of the fight.

Warning: If an ally who was influenced by Nakama Power decides to abandon and/or betray the user, the power increase will be doubled when attacking the user]

…. I'm happy and angry, whatever, I don't care anymore, I just want to go eat.

"Boy, don't interfere" - Ogata sounded excited, on the one hand, he wants to fight an expert like Jenazad, on the other hand, this idiot was influenced by the power of friendship. This is absurd.

Akira smiled, something very unusual for him, and like Ogata, his power grew.

I sighed and took a step back, if these two idiots want to commit suicide I'm not going to stop them.

Ogata smiled and ran towards Jenazad as Akira rushed to attack the fake Saiga. Since the fake Saiga lost an ear, his balance was a bit upset, but he was still much stronger than Akira.

Since we were standing on the wreckage of the ship, the space to fight was small so immediately the four experts began to exchange blows.

As the four of them were fighting, I looked at the eight Yami experts that I have yet to fight.

Of the armed division only Kodachi's master was injured, I have yet to deal with the scythe, executioner sword, and hatchet users.

From the unarmed division, I need to deal with the experts from Muay Thai, Combat Sambo, and Kalaripayattu.

This is a headache.

"Brat, I didn't think you were so soft" - I received a pat on the shoulder.

Ouganosuke had stood up and with his body language showed the side that he had chosen, now I have a helper at Hayato's level.

I looked at Yami's other experts who frowned as Ouganosuke stood up and acted friendly with me.

My gaze focused on Ogata and Akira who were at a disadvantage against the Pencak Silat expert and the fake Furinji-style user.

Although the fake Saiga was using some of Hayato's moves, most of his techniques were from a different combat system, although they looked familiar to me ...

Oh wait, those moves are similar to the techniques of Akira's disciple Sho Kano's clan.

Mikumo mentioned that the Kuremisago clan had an expert who was assigned to be Miu's mother's fiancé.

That man should be a similar age to the real Saiga Furinji and from what I can see, he is wearing a kind of mask that can perfectly mimic human skin so he could pretend to be Miu's father.

I don't know the name of that man, but at least I already have an idea about his identity, this gives me an idea.

I coughed up some blood showing how severe my injuries were, but still kept a determined expression. - "I'm going to face the rest of Yami, old man I need to ask a favor"

"I said I would work for you, just say what you want brat" - Ouganosuke smiled bitterly, it must be bad for his pride to have to follow the orders of a teenager.

In order not to damage his pride, I did not give him an order but asked for a favor. - "Please help my teachers"

Ouganosuke showed an appreciative smile like an old man looking at his grandson. - "Brat, you are a good disciple"

Ouganosuke grabbed his two swords and walked towards Ogata and Akira.

Although Ogata will be angry that Ouganosuke intervenes in the fight, the influence of the Nakama Power should allow him to work as a team, then I need to study this energy in depth.

Since I am a bastard who loves to take advantage of the weaknesses of others I took a deep breath and screamed so that the fake Saiga could hear me. - "You idiot of the Kuremisago Clan! I will not forgive you for murdering my wife's mother!"

My scream caused the fake Saiga to be distracted by a millisecond which was fitting for Ouganosuke to perform a sword slash that severed the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Many of the techniques of the Kuremisago clan are based on attacks with the fingers so losing them is like splitting a samurai's sword in half, they can still fight, but they will no longer show the same performance.

Ignoring the look of utter hatred from the fake Saiga, I held onto the ninja sword and looked in the direction of Yami's remaining experts.

"How are you feeling Tsubaki?" - I sent a mental message to my pretty partner.

"I'm fine" - Tsubaki replied calmly.

This silly girl is hiding her tiredness and her injuries ...

I took out the Whetstone and used it to repair the sword that was Tsubaki's body.

During the fight with Ouganosuke the ninja sword received some cracks from the clash of swords, the cracks were small so Tsubaki only received superficial wounds, but I still dislike her getting hurt.

If it weren't because Ouganosuke is a good pawn I would have killed him for hurting my cute Tsubaki, plus during training, it's not uncommon for Tsubaki to get hurt so I've been using the Whetstone constantly. If it weren't for Shigure being able to repair the Whetstone then things would get troublesome.

Tsubaki is worried that she cannot keep up with my constant growth of strength and at this rate, she will no longer be a suitable weapon for me, that is also why I want to go to other worlds to find how to strengthen Tsubaki since I do not want to see her depressed

Anyway, it's time for Madness to eat.

I chose the scythe expert as my first target as that idiot always struck me as disgusting.

I lowered my body and started running in the direction of the scythe expert. That idiot was able to react to turn his scythe into a circular slash that served both defense and attack, at the same time the executioner sword expert rushed to attack my right side while the Muay Thai expert attacked my left side.

I used Hamon on my right foot to get the water to stick to the sole of my foot and kick into the air. The water was stuck to my foot so with my kick the water turned into a water blade that attacked the scythe expert.

With my sword, I intercepted the executioner sword expert while my left hand used Seikuken to stop the Muay Thai expert's kick.

When both of my hands were busy, a shadow covered me as the armored expert fell on me using her ax to attack my head.

Navi flew in front of my face and intercepted the ax while two thorns of black blood came out of my shoulders to attack the woman, she raised her heavy shield and hit the blood thorns managing to destroy them.

The armored expert didn't hesitate to try to use her feet to crush my face.

I didn't prevent her attack and when the sole of her steel boots hit my face, I stopped using Hamon on the soles of my feet so I could sink into the ocean.

As my body began to sink into the water, threads of black blood came from my back to support the legs of the armored expert to sink with me.

The executioner sword expert and the Muay Thai expert tried to hold the shoulders of the armor expert so that she would not sink, but I used Spin on my body and that of the armor expert to make us spin violently making the two men go pushed away by force.

I sank into the ocean as the armored expert tried to fight to free herself, but the black blood kept trickling down my back to hold the joints of her armor.

If I remember correctly her name is Marmaduke Brown. Although most of the people in Yami think that she is a man since she does not speak and besides her intimidating appearance, as far as I know, she should be a beautiful woman.

How do I know?

This is my instinct as a professional womanizer.

Marmaduke is one of the people with the strongest body in all of Yami, she could even beat Apachai and Sayo in a brute force contest, added to this she has a ridiculous speed comparable to Kensei.

Marmaduke is basically a Soviet tank with the speed of a race car, which added to her armor that is more resistant than a nuclear bunker she is a difficult opponent to defeat without causing fatal injuries, but while the armor normally protects her, now she was locked up like a sardine in a can.

If it weren't for Marmaduke's strong lungs, she would have already been killed by the pressure of the water since we are at a depth where even a submarine would be in danger.

"Hey Listen! You said you would not murder her! " -Navi screamed in my mind in panic as if he were a child who sees his older brother destroying his toys.

I ignored the idiot and when I was at an adequate depth so that the woman could not escape I released her from the threads of blood.

Marmaduke was still conscious, but she couldn't move as the water pressure was crushing her internal organs at the same time that the lack of oxygen began to affect her.

I circled Rasen in my right hand and channeled it into my sword. The rotating energy caused the sword to be covered in a small tornado that could cut through steel like it was jelly.

I brought Marmaduke to a region of the ocean where there was visibility so that she could easily see me so that I too could see her face when I remove her helmet.

With my attack ready I made a vertical cut towards Marmaduke causing the armor that protected her abdomen, chest, and face to shatter.

What I saw was a beautiful woman with white hair, large breasts, and firm muscles. Well, I admit, maybe, just maybe, if I have a fetish for tall women with strong muscles.

Something I've learned from this world is that women who renounce femininity are vulnerable to sudden declarations of love, a perfect example of this is Izayoi who renounced Yami without hesitation when I showed her a little affection.

I don't know if it is something designed for the 'Plot' of this world, but it's convenient for me.

I showed a surprised expression when my eyes met Marmaduke's. She looked at me with a determined expression without showing fear of death, the martial artists of this world have a martyr complex.

Although I can't speak underwater, I moved my lips as if I was muttering "She's so beautiful" to myself.

Marmaduke could understand my supposed murmur so she widened her eyes in surprise as her cheeks reddened bringing color to her pale face.

I clenched my fists as if faced with a dilemma, after a few seconds of hesitation I grabbed Marmaduke by her arm and began to swim to the surface.

Although I can swim at great speed, I took my time which caused Marmaduke to begin to suffocate from lack of air.

I showed a panicked expression and rushed to kiss her so she could breathe.

Marmaduke had an incredulous expression and although she seemed to want to use her hands to attack me now that I showed an opening, she hesitated and in the end, she did not attack me, instead, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss.

After kissing her I kept swimming to get her out of the water, although I made sure to make my skin turn a little purple as if I was gasping for air which made Marmaduke's gaze difficult.

When we both surfaced, the Muay Thai expert tried to attack my head with a kick, but Marmaduke raised his arm to grab the expert's leg. Even if her weapons were left on the bottom of the ocean and her armor was left with only her arms and legs, she has enough strength to smash a car with her fists.

"Why?" - Marmaduke and I were floating in the water while I pretended that I was struggling to breathe. - "Why did you save me risking your life?"

"..." - I showed a complicated expression while catching my breath. - "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Seeing Marmaduke's flushed face I knew that I easily got another wife, this was so easy that it is not entertaining.

"Hey Listen! Your women are coming! " - Navi began to scream with joy.

What?

It's too early, they shouldn't be here, if Jenazad and the fake Saiga see them then my harem will be in danger as even if Ouganosuke is attacking them, Ouganosuke is an honorable warrior and he's not using sneak attacks so Jenazad and the fake Saiga are only receiving superficial wounds while Akira and Ogata are being wounded.

The other problem is that the rest of Yami's experts can still fight….

Damn it, I'll have to rush things.

"Old man!" - I screamed loudly ignoring the furious look of the Muay Thai master. - "Let's change our objectives!"

I released Marmaduke, stood on the surface of the water using Hamon, and then rushed in the direction of Jenazad and the fake Saiga.

Ouganosuke didn't seem happy with my orders but he didn't complain and ran in my direction to attack Yami's experts.

When Ouganosuke passed me I used Hayato's sound transmission technique to give him a message. - "Cut off their limbs, but try not to kill them, and don't touch Marmaduke"

Ouganosuke let out a grunt of dissatisfaction as he nodded.

I don't have time to think about the old man's feelings. I got behind Akira and Ogata and before they could respond I grabbed them by the neck and threw them back.

"Dammit! What are you doing?!" - Ogata yelled furiously.

I focused Ki on my right leg and launched a Phoenix Kick so that Jenazad and the fake Saiga couldn't move forward to attack me.

"Ogata, Akira, I promise I will have a good fight with you, but right now I need to stop the other Yami experts" - I did not hide my anger at the fact that I have to rethink my plans.

Ogata and Akira seemed to notice that my mood was not right so they turned around to help Ouganosuke.

"Boy, you owe me a fight so don't die" - Ogata exclaimed as if he wanted to look great.

When Akira and Ogata left, the ninja sword in my left hand turned into a double scythe linked by a chain.

"Brat, you have a lot of weird tricks" - Jenazad cracked his joints as he prepared to fight.

The fake Saiga was emitting a bloodlust so thick that it was almost visible but I didn't care anymore, I originally thought about hitting him a bit and then I would play with his brain to get him to tell me the truth about the death of Miu's mother, but not any more mind, I'm gonna rip the heads off these two jerks.

"Meal?" - Madness that had been in a bad mood asked me happily.

Yes, it is time to eat.
