One Punch of Justice

Ace and Sabo had planned to escape while Saitama was conversing with the hotel owner, but they ended up getting interested in their discussion.

Ace whispered to Sabo, “Did you hear that? The Weird Baldy said a lot of strange things. Do you think he really came from the New World?“

Sabo, being relatively clever, quickly picked up clues from Saitama’s words and replied with a shocked tone, “What he’s saying is…that he is a traveler from another world, and in that world, things like Heroes and Monsters exist...”

Ace was stunned and exclaimed, “Ah! How could that be true!“

Sabo then deduced while eavesdropping, “If he really is from another world, he should be planning to leave the town soon to look for a way to return to his world.“

Ace responded in a low voice, “We can’t allow that to happen! True pirates must have their revenge! We can’t let him get away!“

Sabo sat down and pondered, “That doesn’t matter. He doesn’t seem to be able to cross between worlds at will, and he doesn’t have a place to stay for now either…“

Ace was excited and replied, “That’s right! There is a way!“

Sabo then suggested, “We can take him to our secret base in the garbage mountain. That way, we would know about his whereabouts and could take our time while preparing for revenge!“

Ace was pleased and said, “Good plan! Sabo, you are so smart!“

After coming to a decision, the two young individuals with dark circles under their eyes approached Saitama.

“Excuse us, sir,“

One of them addressed him. “We have a place where you can reside, and you are welcome to forage for food and water in the nearby forest. However, it is important to note that the forest is inhabited by dangerous predators such as crocodiles and bears who may pose a threat to your safety. Are you still willing to accompany us?“

“Why are you two suddenly so eager to help me?” Saitama asked, surprised by the children’s offer. “You’re just young kids who may not even be able to cook rice. Are you sure you have a place for me to stay?“

“Absolutely!“

Sabo replied with pride. “We have a secret base located in the garbage mountain.“

“I don’t think I’ll go,“

Saitama replied, squinting his eyes and waving his hand dismissively at the mountain.

“It’s too smelly there.” With that, he turned to leave.

Ace grew anxious at the thought of Saitama leaving.

“If he leaves now, we won’t be able to exact our revenge,” he thought to himself.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.

“Wait!“

He called out, reaching his hand out to stop Saitama.

“I have another place you can stay. It’s a real house with a shower and a kitchen. How about you come with us there?“

Saitama turned back with a pleasant surprise.

“Really? Are you serious?” he asked.

Ace held his head high and replied arrogantly, “Of course, it’s true!“

An hour later

Dadan, the mountain bandit, saw the rowdy kid she had been wary of during the day returning with a bald man.

“Sorry to intrude. Thanks for letting me stay here,” he said with a smile, scratching his head. “If you need any help, just let me know.“

Dadan was confused and asked, “Who are you?” while picking her nose.

Before Saitama could answer, Ace interrupted, “Let him stay in my room.” Ace negotiated like an adult, “I’ll manage the food. The others can mind their own business.“

“Do whatever you want.”

Dadan reluctantly agreed after taking a closer look at Saitama, who seemed harmless. “It’s not impossible to let him stay here, but everyone here is a vicious bandit. If he offends us, we won’t give you any face, Ace!“

…………………………….

Saitama ended up living with the mountain bandits on Mt. Colubo.

Despite their name, they never came down from the mountain to rob people. Ace would bring them food every day, and whenever the other bandits planned on leaving, Dadan would mention a name and they would become obedient in an instant.

– Garp!-

One day, during dinner, Saitama asked curiously, “Who is Garp?” upon hearing the name mentioned by Dadan.

Dadan’s hand paused for a moment as she responded, “That’s really weird…“

Dadan looked at Saitama with a dry expression. “It’s hard to believe that there are still people in this country who haven’t heard of the famous marine hero.“

Saitama was surprised and grinned, “Oh, so he’s a hero?“

Dadan replied, “That’s right, that smelly old man! Because of him, we haven’t dared to do anything wrong for a long time. Now, all we do is drink and take care of that stinky brat, Ace. But he doesn’t need our care…“

Before she could finish, two small figures suddenly appeared before them. They had jumped from the second floor using a steel pipe.

“Death to the weird baldy!”

“…The brave pirates have returned to take revenge!

However, in the next moment, they were already lying on the ground with big bumps on their heads emitting smoke after being smashed with a single punch. The two figures were Ace and Sabo!

“Huh!?“

Dadan rubbed her bleary eyes awake, her head filled with confusion. “This is really strange… Why did that stinky little brat suddenly split into two? Did I get so drunk from just one glass of liquor?“

A bandit standing next to Dadan answered, “Boss, you didn’t see it wrong. There are actually two kids, another one besides Ace!“

“I’m not a brat! My name is Sabo… I’m a brave pirate who will one day conquer the seas and become the Pirate King,” he declared.

“This is my first time meeting you, please take care of me,” Sabo added.

“Damn it… I’m going to be the Pirate King,” Ace declared, as he got up from the ground, covering his head.

“It’s not over yet!” Ace declared, still seething with anger and frustration.

“A real pirate never gives up after a few setbacks. Just you wait, Baldy! Sabo, let’s go!“

The two children with large bumps on their heads disappeared without a trace.

Saitama blinked and turned to Dadan, asking, “Has he always been like this?“

Dadan rubbed her chin in thought and replied, “Well, Ace, that smelly kid, even though he dislikes us a bit, has never attacked us.“

Saitama shook his head, “No, that’s not what I meant. I was asking if he often refers to himself as a pirate?“

Impatiently, Dadan responded, “Yes, every damn day! He’s loud and annoying… why do you ask?“

Saitama pondered for a moment before asking, “His grandfather is a renowned Marine hero. So, why does he aspire to become a pirate?“

Dadan opened another bottle of wine and said cryptically, “Who knows…?“
