The city was under attack once again, its buildings crumbling under the power of yet another monster. Sirens wailed, people screamed, and news helicopters circled overhead. Amidst the chaos, a lone figure strolled down the street, seemingly unaffected by the destruction surrounding him. It was Saitama, the One Punch Man, on his way to deal with the problem.
As he approached the center of the devastation, the ground trembled beneath him. From the dust and debris, a monstrous figure emerged, towering over the buildings. Its body was a terrifying amalgamation of rock and steel, its eyes blazing with a malevolent glow. It roared, the sound echoing through the city, but Saitama merely yawned in response. He looked up at the beast, then turned his gaze to the side, spotting a discounted grocery store sign nearby.
Half-price sale today, huh?
he muttered to himself.
Better finish this quickly.
Without any more words, he began to walk towards the monster, his pace leisurely, his expression bored. The crowd watching from afar held their breath, their eyes wide with fear and anticipation.
The monster launched a barrage of attacks, hurling chunks of buildings and vehicles with a ferocity that would make any other hero falter. But Saitama didn't flinch. He simply dodged, his movements so swift they were barely perceptible. He slipped past the attacks effortlessly, his eyes never leaving the monster.
Finally, he stood before the beast, looking up at its towering form. His expression was as bland as ever, but there was a spark of something in his eyes. Excitement? Hope? It was hard to tell.
Well,
Saitama said, cracking his knuckles.
You're a big one, aren't you? Let's hope you're more than just big. It's been a while since I had a real fight.
The monster roared in response, its cry shaking the very air around them. Saitama merely sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly.
Guess you're not much for conversation,
he said, a hint of disappointment in his voice. Then, he clenched his fist, his gaze turning serious.
Alright then. Let's do this. One Punch should do the trick.
As Saitama took a step forward, his fist raised, anticipation hung in the air like an unseen threat. The city held its breath, waiting for what came next...
