Raian charged forward several feet before leaping forward his fist reeled back to smash into the mercenary's face only for Muteba to grab his arm at the last moment and throw him over his shoulder like it was nothing. Instead of letting himself merely plummet to the ground the Kure summersaulted in mid-air and landed on his feet before once again charging forward.

"Alright Dickhead, let's see how you handle this next bit." Raian smirked before aiming a dropkick to the man's face only for it instead to be blocked by Gazinga crossing his arms and taking the hit, causing the older man to be pushed backwards several feet.

Raian didn't drop his assault and immediately started striking Muteba wildly with blocking relatively well. However Raian was able to surprise the man with a quick but brutal kick to the leg causing Muteba to stumble ever so slightly. However this was all the opening Raian needed and delivered a brutal uppercut that managed to knock the mercenary several feet into the air only for Raian to slam his face directly into the man's face bringing back down to earth. Raian than mounts the mercenary before beginning to deliver blow after blow to the man's body

"And Raian beings the match with an explosive start! Landing a few devastating hits that put Gazinga on the floor before he starts a rain of hits!" Sayaka shouted her eyes staring intently at the match. "He may be a bit smaller than Gazinga but Raian's proven that doesn't matter by putting Muteba in the tight spot he finds himself in!"

From where they were watching Erioh snorted in disgust. "A tight spot. Goes to show how little he actually knows about fighting." The retired assassin muttered. "No Haki, no real defense, he isn't even trying to get up." Erioh muttered watching the fight unfold as Raian kept landing punch and punch and it was clear that Muteba was half-assing his defense.

"He's waiting." Cosmo muttered his eyes scanning every movement the two made. "Waiting for the perfect opportunity to get a quick but brutal strike against Raian." The grappling specialist examined as everyone turned back to watch the match.

'This piece of shit is up to something.' Raian thought as he continued to wail on the older man. The mercenary wasn't even trying to put up a fight nor was he trying to escape his hold. seemingly content to just allow Raian to wail on him. 'But why though?' The assassin thought.

Say what you will about Raian and his personality but he was still a Kure and was just as capable as any other. So he knew exactly what a trap looked like when he saw one but in this case he knew he had to be just a tad bit more cautious about setting it off than he normally would.

He got his answer a second later however when while in mid swing Mutbea wrapped his hands around the back of his head and pulled him down to slam their heads together. Muteba went a step forward and slated his forehead and nose in Haki just in time for the impact.

BAM

CRUNCH

The audience winced at the sound and did it again when Muteba slammed his fist into a stunned Raian's face sending him off the mercenary and rolling across the ground. "And Gazinga escapes his hold and lands a blow against Raian!" Sayaka cheered as the mercenary slowly got to his feet.

"Well than Kure is that it or are you just going to lay there?" He taunted getting a scowl from Raian before it became a smirk. "Fuck that and you." He retorted as he hopped to his feet.

From his viewing room Lihito sighed. "At least he can take a punch at least." He muttered while Yumi glanced at him. "Still wishing it was you sir?" She asked getting a nod from the CEO. "Of course I want to be out there." He confirmed before looking down. "But choosing a replacement was the right call." He admitted before looking at the screen. "Just wish it wasn't him."

Back in the arena Raian was on the move already charging forward before throwing a haymaker Gazinga's torso only for the man to casually sidestep it before countering with a left hook, Raian didn't let the punch bother him and went for a kick only for Muteba to sweep his leg causing the Kure to fall only to roll out of the way.

Pushing himself off the ground and into the air Raian trined to aim a kick to the man's chest and to his and many surprise it landed causing the mercenary to stumble slightly. Raian's eyes widened a fraction of an inch but decided not to dwell on it and continued on with another punch to the side of head before landing. Muteba instantly swung towards Raian who ducked before aiming an uppercut towards the mercenary's jaw.

The punch was blocked but Raian didn't stop and delivered a spearhead straight into Gazinga's chest. Gazinga grunted as blood started to leak out of the wound. "What?!" He demanded as Raian grinned and landed a brutal kick straight towards the side of Muteba's head before smashing his hist into the bald man's face sending him plummeting to the ground.

"Oh yeah!~" Raian cackled. "I remember now. Your quirk and the nice little ability you get with it!" He informed the Mercenary. "And Raian makes an amazing comeback!" Sayaka exclaimed with a smile. "Yeah it might only be a couple of hits but in some cases a single hit is all you need, and coming from a family of assassins that could be what Raian is waiting for." Jerry theorized.

Meanwhile Togo was growling and running her hands through her hair in frustration. "Fucking damn it! Looks like he's been found out!" She growled. "I was hoping to keep his quirk a secret but guess the cat's out of the fucking bag!" She continued to rant from where she was watching at the entrance along with Rino  who was looking at her in confusion.

"Okay but what exactly does his quirk have anything to do with the match?" Rino asked not wanting to state the obvious about quirks being pointless during a match. Togo must have known what he was thinking however as she clicked her teeth in annoyance. "It's not his quirk that I wanted to keep hidden but the passive ability that comes with it, one that I made sure works even with those quirk nullifiers on." She huffed at having to explain and knew the questions would keeping coming.

And sure enough.

"So what exactly is this ability that you wanted to keep hidden?" Rino questioned and Togo had to stop himself from unleashing  and simply chose to answer it.

"Seismic Sense."

Seismic Sense. An ability that constitutes for physical sense. This skill enables earthbenders to detect vibrations in the ground to perceive objects, people, and other aspects of their environment, essentially acting as sonar, but through earth and metal.

By sensing vibrations in the ground, earthbenders can perceive their surroundings as precisely as normal sight, and in some cases with even greater clarity. The advantage of the sense over normal sight is that practitioners are able to pick up things that are barely visible or even imperceptible to the naked eye as well as things out of their line of sight. Obstacles that would normally obstruct regular vision, such as walls and thick dust clouds, are rendered ineffective against seismic sense. Seismic sense does not only provide surface vision, as the vibrations also travel underground, enabling the user to effectively detect caverns and other deep subterranean cavities.

"Yeah It's almost impossible to get the drop on him in a ground." Horio Kure who had been against Muteba in the past muttered as he explained it to the group he was with. "Add in this Haki thing and it might be impossible to just get the drop on the guy." He muttered before looking over towards Izuku. "You're going to have your work cut out for you kid." He tired to warn only for Izuku to keep his eyes locked on the tv and the match.

The older man couldn't help but sweat drop at seeing this. 'Guess the boy knows how to keep a cool head under pressure.' He thought before the boy's previous fights flashed through his head. 'Than again maybe he's more prepared than I thought.'

"Hey excuse me." Cosmo suddenly raised his hand. "Sorry but what kind of quirk can give an an ability like that?" He muttered only for Horio to snort. "One that's a complete pain in the ass to deal with." The large man muttered before facing the screen.

"Last I heard Gazinga was calling it Earthbending.

Back in the arena Raian was slowly circling the man. "So what are you going to do now that I've got your number pal?" He asked with Muteba grinning. "Kid you've still got a lot to learn." He warned before charging forward and aimed a punch for Raian only for the Kure to deflect it and aim a punch towards the genocider who tilted his head out of the way before extending two fingers out. Luckily Raian realized what he was planning and moved his head in such a way that the impact landed just blew Raian's eyes.

Gazinga was shocked by the method Raian used and the Kure aimed a well placed kick to the man's leg casing him to stumble. Raian wasn't allowing any mercy this time and commenced to pummeling the genocider. A left hook, right jab, uppercut, kick to the kidney, headbutt, spearing, punch to the stomach. All deployed and all landing their marks as the mercenary was completely at the Kure's decadent.

"We could be nearing the end people! Each one of those hits look devastating and could put an end to the match!" Sayaka cautioned as Togo was gritting her teeth in anger. "Come on you idiot! What did I pay you all that money for?!" She raged with Rino continued to watch for a safe distance.

"Nighty night mercenary! I've got business to attend to in the semifinals!" Raian cackled as he laughed one final punch to knock the mercenary out.

BAM!

The sound reverberated through the arena as ever watched as Raian glanced at this knuckles which were now covered in blood with a bone even puncturing the skin. "Sorry boy." Muteba spoke grabbing his attention. "But the boss lady paid a lot of money for me to win this tournament and that money goes bye-bye if I lose. So unfortunately this is where you go down." The mercenary warned him as he covered his arms and legs in Armament.

Raian clicked his tongue but let out a laugh. "So I'm guessing you're using that Haki shit now!" He stated before grinning wildly. "Alright than, let's take things up a notch!" Raian roared his smile more in sane than ever.

It was than the pressure around Raian changed his skin began to darken and veins starred to show over his body.

The Kure watching this, looked on with wide eyes as Erioh was literally shaking in rage. "That blasted fool!" He practically snarled gripping his cane so hard that it nearly shattered. "W-W-W-W-W-What is that?! Kazuo asked shaking as he witnessed the transformation.

The Kures looked at each other unsure about what to say knowing how important it is to keep this particular technique secret. "It's the hidden trump card of the Kure family." Erioh suddenly spoke causing the other Kure to look at him shocked. "Grandfather?" Hollis asked with Erioh not even looking at him. As he continued. "A technique that allow's us to wipe away the limits the brain puts on our bodies with the transformation you see being a side effect of that wipe.

"We call call this technique-" Erioh went on as the transformation was complete and everyone was staring at a newly changed Raian.

"Removal."

Removal. It is the ability to consciously remove the brain's limits on an individual's muscular strength output. As such, while regular humans are naturally unable to access more than 30% of their body's muscular strength (except in times of extreme duress), the Kure bred to access a greater amount of their latent muscular strength.

The non Kure were silent as they tired to absorb the information just given with Akiyama finding her voice first. "Is.. is something like that actually possible?" She questioned with Hollis nodding. "Yeah it's our trump card of sorts, a hidden weapon to give us an edge if we need it during a hit." The Wailing Demon explained not seeing the harm now that Removal has essentially been revealed to the entire world.

Kazuo meanwhile was shaking sightly as he looked at the screen. 'To think Izuku was fighting someone capable of something like this.' He thought more than thankful Izuku was able to beat Raian before he was cable of activating this.

Nogi meanwhile was watching with a smirk as he lit a cigar. As for as he was concerned this was a win all around. If Raian won then he would face Izuku in the semifinals and would prove an easy win for Izuku. If Muteba won then he would be wounded quite a bit from his match with Raian which should make the match quite a bit easier.

A win no matter which way you look at it.

Izuku meanwhile was staring unblinking at the tv. 'So that's what he was trying after the match.' Izuku thought remembering his meeting with Raian after the first matching  before he smirked. 'Well can't say I'm disappointed he was stopped from doing that, but it does look like it would be fun to fight.' Izuku noted with a mental chuckle.

'Especially with that little trick Yuuichiro taught me.'

Back in the arena most of the audience were shaking in their seats. "And Raian undergoes a terrifying transformation, how is such a thing possible?!" Sayaka questioned at a complete loss at what was happening. "The scary thing is that it can't be with a quirk if the ref's reactions are anything to go by!" Jerry added watching Anna speak into her head piece only to get a reply back before going to watching the match with a much more nervous expression.

Muteba meanwhile released a mental sigh. 'Yeah that figures.' He thought already getting ready for a not so fun time. 'Removal is always a pain in the ass to deal with. It was a pain back than and it's pain now.' He ranted slightly before remaining on red alert around Raian. Still there are ways to deal with it and as long as he remained calm and get is wits and Haki at max he should be-.

BAM

Muteba's thoughts were brought t o screeching halt when Raian's knee slammed into his jaw sending him hurtling back with the mercenary knowing he just felt his jaw broke if the pain and blood fusing from his mouth was any indication. He was barely able to get his footing back when Raian slammed a fist directly into the older man's ribcage followed by another and another with a kick thrown in for good measure.

Muteba could feel his ribs start to crack but he wasn't going to let some punk take him down so easily so after Raian landed his most recent punch Muteba grabbed Raian face's while covering his hand in Haki before starting to deliver punch after punch to the younger man. Raian for his part grabbed the arm that was gripping his face and with his other began to exchange punches with the mercenary as Haki and Removal began to clash.

"And this fight has become a slugfest! Muteba Gazinga and Raian Kure has done away with their usual fighting styles and have simply restored to an exchange of fists!" Sayaka yelled as she didn't want to miss a moment of it. "It's clear that Raian's gone through some kind of power up and while it's unclear if Muteba has Haki his actions in the previous matches do point more to him having it than not. So it may come down to what last longer. What ever Raian's transformation is or Muteba's Haki." Jerry theorized

"That idiot." Reiichi muttered as she watched the match. "If he had used the clan traditions he could have ended the match while Muteba was distracted, hell the family traditions could have done some massive damage." The narcissist of the Kure clan muttered while Horio shock his head. "It's the folly of youth at its finest." He muttered while Erioh and Hollis were watching on unimpressed.

"To think 'The Devil' of the Kure clan would fight like this.' Hollis spoke quietly and Erioh scoffed. "Believe me Hollis when we return home I'll be giving that boy the lecture and training regime of his life!" The patriarch declared already planning out how to disincline his grandson.

The slug fist was continuing with neither fighter backing down even as they felt more and more damage build up and blood cover their bodies. Soon the two were surrounded by a ring of blood and sweat with both fighters panting in exhaustion.

It went on like this until Raian felt the grip on his face loosen ever so slightly but it was enough for Raian to deliver an uppercut to the arm causing Muteba to let go which gave Raian the perfect opportunity to deliver a kick to the head and more specifically his left ear. 'Damn it, I think my ear drum burst!'

The attack froze the mercenary and Raian was fully intending to end it and threw his full weight onto the following barrage of fist.

Only to jump away suddenly.

"And Raian after delivering a brutally suddenly backs off." Sayaka muttered more confused than anything. "Could Raian have seen something we didn't?" Jerry muttered using the monitor on the announcer stand to replay the last exchange.

"Hey boy." Erioh asked his eyes drifting towards Izuku who briefly turned his attention to the elder. "Is it possible that was what I think it was?" Erioh asked and Izuku simply gave a nod. "Yup." He muttered before glancing back towards the tv.

"I think Raian just awakened his Haki."

'What was that?' Raian thought as he tried to figure out what happened. 'One moment I was wailing on the big, bald bastard and the next I see myself getting thrusted in to!' The assassin thought trying to rationalize what happened. 'You gotta be kidding me.' Gazinga thought in exasperation.

He had enough tough fights ahead of him, the last thing he needed was a lunatic with Haki, albeit barely awakening it. 'He managed to evade my last Heart Jab, but that wont happen again.' Muteba thought while flexing his fingers, his finger nearly recovered from the last match.

Raian had noticed the change in posture in the mercenary's and gave a truly demonic smirk. "What's wrong Baldy, tired already? Well don't you worry prick, I'm ending this right now!" Raian promised before rocketing forward. Raian started with jumping into the air and aiming a kick for the man only for Muteba to block it though it did cause some pain to course through Gazinga's arm. Raian followed up with attempting to deliver a kick to the chin only for Muteba to lean his head back causing Raian to whiff.

Scoffing Raian left of his arm before landing on the ground and tried to give a an elbow strike to the mercenary's head only for Muteba to block with his arm before sucker punching him in the gut. This knocked the wind out of Raian but he quickly recovered and delivered a knee strike to Gazinga's ribs causing Muteba to grit his teeth.

"Enough, this is over!" Muteba shouted having enough of the match and went to end the match with another Heart Jab. "Couldn't agree more!" Raian cackled moving to land a decisive blow as the audience watched with baited breathe.

SPLURCH

SQULCIH

A science covered the arena as the combats landed their blows. Muteba's Heart Jab landed clean but Raian had jammed his finer directly into Muteba's uninjured ear with the two standing perfectly still as the audience waited to see which would fall first.

Finally a winner was decided as Raian spat out a mouthful of blood and let out a weak "Fuck." before collapsing to the ground as his bloody finger exited the mercenary's ear.

"MATCH OVER!" Anna shouted before gesturing to Muteba who was already heading for his exit. "WINNER, MUTEBA GAZINGA!" She announced as the crowds stared to cheer. "And with that our first semifinal match has been decided with it being Izuku Midoriya from Yamashita Corporation going against Muteba Gazinga of Iwami Heavy Industries!" Sayaka declared.

Muteba heard this and grinned as he approached Togo. "Well looks like I'm heading towards the semifinals. Though wish my hearing hadn't taken such a hit." He told the woman who growled. "Yeah against a fully healed brat who could take down the fang!" Togo ranged before letting out a sigh. "Just follow me would ya? Everything's ready and Yurihama is waiting." She ordered and Rino looked confused. "Your security? What could you possibly need her for?" The queen bee asked with Togo smirking. "Just a little insurance for the next match."

The Kures meanwhile were watching the medics take Raian off the field. "Well you can't say he didn't try." Horio muttered going for a cigarette. "Yeah that last strike was defiantly aiming for the cerebellum. Had he managed to land  that before Muteba's last attack hit the match could have ended much differently." Reiichi admitted though it sounded like it pained him to do so,

Cosmo however looked at the tv in concern. "Well is he going to be okay? That seemed like a pretty brutal injury." He asked but the Kures just waved it off. "Trust me if Raian went down because of an attack like that he would have been dead a long time ago." Erioh told the group before releasing a sigh and started walking away. "Come along let's go check on that idiot." He muttered as the Kure started walking away. "Bye Izuku! I'll talk to you later." Karla promised with Izuku giving a wave in return.

"Well it seems your opponent is decided. I trust you can handle it?" Nogi asked getting a nod from Izuku. "Wonderful. Ms. Akiyama, Ms.Kushida would you please follow me for a moment?" He asked getting nods from the two secretaries. "I gotta go too man. Akira needs me." He told Izuku after getting off his phone. This left just Izuku and Kazuo alone. "Well than how about we." Kazuo started to suggest only for a bodyguard to walk up to them.

"Excuse me Mr. Yamashita, your sons have arrived sir." He informed causing Kazuo's jaw to drop in shock. "My sons are here?!" He shouted getting a nod from the man. "Yes sir if you would please follow me." He requested and the older man looked towards Izuku unsure but but the teen just gave a nod. "Go see your sons if they're here it must be important." He reasoned and after a moment Kazuo nodded. "Please lead the way."

And that's how Izuku found himself alone. "Great now what do I do?" He questioned to himself wondering what he could do until the next fight started.

And that's when a monstrous force slammed into him.

Izuku's entire body froze as the most powerful presence he had ever felt approach. 'W-what could possibly be the cause of something like this?' He thought as the presence got closer and closer and that's when he noticed something else that was strange.

'No wait, there's two of them!' Izuku thought gripping his fist having to stop himself from shaking as it got closer and closer. 'Alright calm down Izuku. It doesn't matter what is coming just face it head on!' He mentally prepared himself as he faced the direction they were coming from.

Sweat was rolling down Izuku's body as it got closer and closer and just as Izuku thought he might lose his nerve the source rounded the corner and Izuku finally met them face to face.

'That's... not what I was expecting.' Izuku thought and while he didn't let his guard down in the least he was able to ease the tension in his body. The man spotted him and after blinking tilted his head. "Aren't you Izuku Midoriya?" He asked after a moment of studying him and Izuku nodded. "I am." The teen confirmed and the man smiled while nodding. "Thought so. I've seen your fights, Those are some crazy moves you got there." He praised and Izuku couldn't help but smile. "You gotta tell me where you learned them." He requested and despite himself Izuku felt the smile grow wider across his face.

"Thanks a couple of them are thanks to my quirk but most of them are styles and moves I'm in the process of creating." He admitted and his eyes lit up in excitement. "Really?! You gotta tell me about that!" He requested and Izuku couldn't help but sweat drop. 'He's like a child.' Izuku couldn't help the comparison.

The sound of a cellphone ringing interrupted them and the man reached into his pocket. He took a look at the caller ID and proceeded to press the ignore button. "Sorry about that now I-." The phone rang again and Izuku could see the caller ID this time with the name Yan at the top.

And once again the man pressed the ignore button but went a step forward and turned off his phone. "Sorry about that now how about we walk and talk, maybe hit a restaurant while we're waiting for the next match to start?" The man suggested.

Izuku let out a mental sigh while giving a mental prayer to whoever this Yan guy was before shrugging. "Why not?" He answered. "My friends are busy right now and I was looking for something to do. This beats walking around on my own." Izuku confirmed while the man gave a happy smile. "Good to hear." He said as the man two started walking side by side.

It was silent for a few moments before a thought occurred to Izuku. "So what's your name by the way?" Izuku questioned having not gotten his name yet. The man blinked before a thoughtful look covered his face for the briefest moment before he answered.

"Call me Jackie Lee."

Lien break,

"And than I had to promise Yan to call him everyday to make sure I was staying out of trouble to make him promise to let me come here alone." Jackie ranted beyond annoyed at what happened. "I mean come on, how little does the guy think of me?!" He asked the younger man across the table multiple plates surrounding both of them.

The pair had found a nice steak house and quickly sat themselves at the bar and while Izuku did receive some looks from spectators and other kengan associates they were lucky enough to be left alone for the time being.

As for Izuku himself he was too busy laughing to properly respond. The man while still terrifying and feeling off turned out to be a geniuly friendly guy and while Izuku's guard was still raised he was able to relax around the guy. "Seriously I'm a full grown man and I've known the guy for years you think there would be a little trust between us." He muttered crossing his arms as Izuku calmed down to cut into his steak.

"Well to be fair I did see you ignore his calls twice and than turn off your phone to avoid him." Izuku reminded him but the older man waved it off. "No no. That's different." He said and reaching into his pocket before bringing out two phones. "See the phone I turned off was my work phone." He showed the still off phone while this one is my personal phone which Yan is supposed to call on." He explained.

"Okay but was it still a good idea to turn off your work phone? Could be important." Izuku felt the need to say but once again Jackie just waved it away. "Nah see part of the deal I had with Yan is that he wouldn't bother me with work. He's just trying to be sneaky." Jackie assured the younger man who sorted. "You make it sound like this has happened before." Izuku stated and Jackie had the decency to blush before coughing into his hand. "Anyway I've got to thank you." He said trying to change subjects.

Lucky for him Izuku took the bait. "Oh and what do you need to thank me for?" Izuku asked only for his jaw to hang open when Jackie raised his arm as it was covered in the red glow of advance Armament Haki. "For the longest time I had no idea what to call this but now I can at least but a name to it. Haki right?" He asked and Izuku nodded. "Yeah." Izuku muttered still in kind of a daze at seeing it. "It's actually one of the advance forms of the Haki called Armament. What about the other forms?" The boy asked. "Well I can see into the future a fair bit and I'm pretty good at sensing people."

"And what about the other kind? Can you use Conqueror's? You know knock people out without even touching them?" Izuku asked and Jackie seemed to think about it for a moment before shaking his head? "Not anymore. Haven't been able to do it for a while now." Jackie revealed and Izuku raised an eyebrow at that. 'Haven't been able to do it for a while. what does that even mean?' Izuku thought trying to make heads and tails of the statement.

"So how do you know so much Haki anyway?" Jackie asked and Izuku blinked at the question before answering. "It's thanks to my quirk actually." Izuku answered and Jackie leaned forward. "Oh and what's your quirk?" Jackie asked.

"Devil Fruits." Izuku answered and Jackie tilted his head with Izuku releasing a sigh before explaining everything he knew about his quirk. The memories, his devil fruits powers and his body which seemed to be conditioned for the other world rather than their own. "As for Haki well it was necessity if you wanted to survive in part of the world so I made sure my own was always in top form."

Jackie meanwhile seemed stupefied not that Izuku could blame him before letting out a low whistle. "Man that's incredible." Jackie said unable to find any other way to put it. "It's way cooler than my quirk." Jackie admitted easily with Izuku looking interested. "Oh and what is your quirk?" He asked wanting to know more.

Jackie took a drink of his beer let out a sigh before answering. "Quirk Immunity." He answered and this time it was Izuku's time to look lost. "What?" Izuku asked and Jackie nodded. "Quirk Immunity, I'm immune to quirks." He explained and Izuku could feel his eyes start to shake slightly. "Could you explain a little more?" Izuku requested and Jackie nodded.

"Why not? Okay so say for some reason or another I'm fighting Endeavor he launches a massive wave of fire at me. The fire will hit me but it will just pass over me as harmlessly as a light breeze. Or If I need to fight All Might. While his quirk is unknown it's genuinely accepted that's it's some kind of enhancement quirk right?" He asked and Izuku gave a nod. "Well then if he were to fight me then the best he could hit me with is his natural strength, not his quirk enhanced strength."

Izuku was floored by this information his mind reeling with possibilities as the weight of what Jackie told him hit him.. "That.. that's insane." Izuku said finally finding his voice. "I mean are there any limits? Could it be turned off be certain quirks like Eraser Head's or what ever Star n Stripes in America?" Having heard that thanks to whatever their quirks were they can cannel out quirks of others.

Jackie scratched his chin in thought. "Maybe. I've tested it against other quirk cancellers before and none of them work so who knows." Jackie answered truthfully as he took another drink of his beer. 'Not that Yan would ever let me.' He thought before continuing his explanation. "It's not all good though, because this means I'm also immune to all quirks that could benefit me as well. "Such as an enhancement quirk or recovery quirk." Jackie explained with Izuku nodded. "So it's kinda like a double edge sword. You wont suffer any negatives but you can't reap any benefits either." Izuku reasoned with Jackie nodding

"Seems like a  fair trade to me." Jackie said downing the rest of it before going to order another glass, but before he could a thought occurred to him. "Excuse me, two more please." Jackie requested getting a confirmaiton from the bar tender.

"Thirsty are you?" Izuku asked amused as the two mugs were put in front of the older man. "Nope." He said as he slid one over to Izuku. "This one's for you." He informed and Izuku just started at him blankly before giving a dry look towards Jackie. "Oh don't look at me like that one won't hurt ya. I just want to have a toast for you getting to the semifinals." Jackie defended himself as he raised his mug. "Come on." He tried to persuade causing Izuku to groan. "Now I see why this Yan keeps checking up on you." He muttered as he lifted his mug causing Jackie to grin.

"Cheers!" They toasted before downing their beer. Once gone Izuku let out a breathe as he put down his mug. "Alright I'll admit it," He said as he looked over towards Jackie. "That was pretty good." He admitted causing Jackie to smile.

"Right!?"

Line break,

"Are you ready for this Wakasuki?" Heihachi asked his fighter as they waited at the entry way for Wakasuki to be called. "Yeah. Setsuna Kiryu's Rakshasa's Palm is concerning and I don't know much about that transformation I know I can beat him sir." Wakasuki answered and Heihachi sighed before smiling. "Well do your best than." He told his fighter as the audience started cheering and Sayaka's voice echoed through out the arena.

"And now it's time for the 3rd match of the quarter finals and it all starts with this man!" At this Wakasuki started walking. "I'll be going now." He said. "Good luck." Heihachi muttered as Sayaka began the introductions.

"He's the unstoppable hunter who's been devouring his prey one after another well he be adding another victim to his ever growing pile? From Furumi Pharmaceuticals, the wild tiger, Wakatsuki Takeshi!" She announced as the man entered to a stadium shaking applause and cheering.

"And facing him is this man!" Sayaka continued on once the cheering died down. "Well this is it." Setsuna said with a smile as me faced his manger. "I'm off Miss.Shion." Setsuna said getting a nod from the woman as Setsuna stepped into the arena while Sayaka introduced him.

"He's the man masked in both mystery and beauty and he's looking to tear down the legend in front of him. From the Koyo Academy Group it's the beautiful beast, Setsuna Kiryu!" The cheers for Setsuna were no less loud than they were for Wakatsuki and the two men were staring each other down Wakasuki with a frown and Kiryu with a smile.

As Kiryu walked on to the field Izuku scowled which his new friend noticed. "Something happened between the two of you?" He asked and Izuku grunted. "It's a long and complicated story." Was all he answered with Jackie giving him a sideways glance before going back to the monitor.

"Are both fighters ready?" Anna asked getting a nod from both fighters."Then begin!"

BAM

Wakasuki rocketed forward before the words could been fully leave Anna's mouth with his fist slamming into the side of Setsuna's head causing him to flying back. However as Setsuna went flying through the air Wakasuki caught up to him and slammed his fist into the other side of the head. Setsuna wasn't going to fly back any further has Wakasuki grabbed his arm and flung him over his shoulder and onto the ground causing Setusna to cough up some blood and Wakasuki brought down his fist to slam into his face.

Only for the fist to stop mere inches from connecting with Setsuna's hand on Wakasuki's arm which was twisted into a spiral, a result of the Rakshasa's Palm. "Oh so close but now it's my tun." He said before kicking up with both feet slamming into the wild tiger's face causing him to stumble back. This allowed Setsuna to get to his feet and without a moment's hesitation went on the attack.

Setsuna attacked with a barrage of blows which were a mix of normal jabs, pushes and kicks but also were mixing in Rakshasa's Palms for more damage. Wakasuki was able to see them coming thanks to his Haki but Setsuna was higher in terms of speed meaning Wakasuki had to prioritize guarding against Rakshasa's Palm meaning Setsuna was free to hit him with his other attacks.

"And from what liked a quick and deceive win for Wakasuki has been turned into a desperate struggle to defend himself." Sayaka commented with Jerry nodding. "He's smart to prioritize guarding against Rakshasa's Palm but even someone as strong as Wakasuki can only take so many blows before he hits his limits." Jerry added on as he continued to watch the match.

Wakasuki was getting more and more frustrated as the match went on and the moment he saw an opening he swung only to whiff and hit nothing but thin air. His Haki activated and he instantly turned to his left only to once again miss before twisting his body again only to gasp in pain as Setsuna appeared behind him and delivered 3 Rakshasa's Palms to his back.

Wow, did you see that?" Jackie said as Izuku narrowed his eyes "Yeah I know that technique as he watched the match continue.

Flashfire. A style of movement that allows for the user to flicker like a flame. This technique is able to confuse the enemy by creating afterimages.

"It's a technique of the Niko Style. A martial arts that very few people know." Izuku informed with Jackie humming. "Wonder where he learned it from." Jackie muttered before turning his attention back to the match. 'I've got an idea.' Izuku thought eyes narrowing as the match continued.

Wakasuki was snarling as he tried to minimize the pain before twisting on a dime and slamming his fist directly into  Setsuna's torso. The impact was so strong it caused him to go flying through the air and slam into the side of the arena.

Before the beautiful beast could pull himself out of the wall Wakasuki was on him in seconds and continued to deliver blow after blow onto the trapped fighter. "And Wakasuki rains a merciless onslaught down on Setsuna!" Sayaka commented as Anna started to rush over however before she could stop Wakasuki, something shot out of the rubble and directly into Wakasuki's face causing him to flinch and jump back slightly.

"Well I can't say that was pleasant." Setsuna commented as he dropped down to the floor Fallen Demon having clearly activated." The wild tiger growled before charging forward ready to throw a punch only for Setsuna to dodge it before landing a punch on the larger man's chin halting him for a second and allowing Setsuna to land more blows.

The blonde man snapped back to it and tried another punch only for Setsuna to once more evade and get a kick in to his shoulder. Wakasuki ignored the pain and tried to tackle the smaller man who evaded by spinning behind him and delivering a chop to Wakasuki's neck. This nearly ended the match as Wakasuki had to use every bit of his mental strength to keep himself from going unconscious.

Regaining his footing Wakasuki twisted on his heel to throw a kick only for Setsuna to deliver a sweep kick knocking Wakasuki to the ground. "Time to sleep." Setsuna uttered barreling down on Wakasuki a Rakshasa's Palm aimed at his neck.

BOOOM

Blood flew through the air as the audience watched in stunned horror. Wakasuki himself was breathing heavily a look of disbelief across his face as  his out stretched fist, veins bursting with blood and coating the fist in blood. Setsuna was laying a few meters away his face covered in blood with multiple teeth laying around him with the beautiful beast shaking violently.

"What... what happened?!" Sayaka asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "Setsuna Kiryu was set to finish the match but now he's on his back shaking like crazy!" She screamed as Anna rushed over to check on Setsuna. 'It was a Blast Core.' Wakasuki absently thought as he managed to get to his feet, the daze he was feeling numbing the pain for the time being. 'It was completely instinctual but I fired off a Blast Core at point blank range.' He thought trying to move his arm only for it not to budge.

'Damn it, it's broken.' Wakasuki thought before looking over towards his opponent just in time to see Anna stand "MATCH OVER!" Anna shouted raising her hand before gesturing to Wakasuki as medics rushed in. "Winner Wakasuki Takeshi!" She shouted to the roaring fans. "And it's Wakasuki who's moving on to the semifinals." Sayaka nodded as the fighter started to leave the arena. "Yeah he'll be facing either Adam Dudley or June Sekibyashi! Neither of which are gonna be easy opponents. And the way he's holding his arm tells me he's gonna have some problems with that as well." Jerry noted causing Wakasuki to scowl as he made it to his entrance.

"Nice work." Heihachi praised his fighter who nodded. "Than-." He had to stop for a moment as he spat out some blood. "Thank you sir." He muttered almost breathlessly. Heihachi instantly became alarmed before a stern look came to his face. "We're getting you to the infirmary now." The CEO demanded grabbing hold of Wakasuki and started leading him towards the infirmary.

"But the other fighters." Wakasuki weakly tried to explain only for Heihachi to ignore it and lead him to the infirmary.

One the other side Shion was looking down at her eliminated fighter tears leaking out his eyes and he could hear him mutter. "I'm sorry Izuku, I couldn't keep our promise, yes you have every right to be angry with me." He continued to mutter insanely before being carted off to the infirmary with Shion watching with sweat dripping down her body.

Line break.

"Well looks like your little problem has taken care of itself." Jackie muttered with Izuku leaning back in his chair. "Maybe." He muttered sounding unsure. "Though when it comes to psychopaths like him you can never be to careful." Izuku muttered.

"Eh I'm sure you'll mange one way or another." Jackie said with Izuku letting out a chuckle. "Thanks appreciate that." Izuku said with Jackie nodding.

"Anytime pal."

LIne break.

"So that's as far as you could go eh Setsuna?" The man hidden in the dark muttered before ultimately giving a shrug. "Eh what can you do?" He asked himself before turning to the stage. "At least Yuuichiro's boy is still here to entertain me." He said as Sayaka entered the arena. "But first let's enjoy this little show."

Line break.

"Prepare yourself, this well be your most difficult fight yet." Gensei cautioned Adam with the formers arm in a cast after his fight with Muteba. The two were waiting at Adam's entry way waiting for the man to be called. Adam however just smirked at the Assassin's words. "Believe me Pops I know. That wrestling bastard is one tough SOB but everyone has their limits. I just get him to hit his limit before I hit mine." Adam told the bearded assassin who smirked. "Well than I wish you luck." He told the American who faced forward as Sayaka started.

"And now it's time for the final battle of the quarter finals!" Sayaka announced before turning to the left. "And first up we have this man! The fighter from the land of the free, he's bested the exterminating vicar, Mokichi Robinson and than the giant killer, Kaneda Suehichi and now he's looking to tear of the wings of an angel! From Boss Burger it's The Emperor, Adam Dudley!" The daughter of Katahara introduced as Adam entered the arena smirk on his face as he approached the center of the arena before smirking and crossing his arms as he waited for his opponent.

"And now for his opponent!" Sayaka moved on while in his own entrance way Jun smirked as he cracked his neck. "Now don't go overboard out there. You've still got 2 tough fights after this." Gen reminded his fighter while Iida. "I wish you a quick victory Mr. Sekibayashi." The teen told the pro wrestler who gave a thumbs up.

"Don't you worry kiddo, Nothing's gonna stand in my way to the top!" Seki promised as he headed out. "He's been kicking up a storm since he started. He triumphed over the immeasurable Gozo Murobuchi before swatting away the whirlwind, Hassad! He's aiming to dethrone the emperor! From Gundai, it's hell's angel, Jun Sekibayashi!" The pro wrestler entered the arena his fists raised in the air as he let out cheers while he approached the center of the arena.

"Well old man, ready to retire to your rocking chair?" Adam taunted getting a wide smile from Jun. "How about instead I show you what pro wrestling here in Japan looks like?" He asked in return. "The trash talking has already began and it's up in the air who wins this match." Sayaka commented with Jerry nodding. "My money's on Jun personally but after all the crazy shit we've seen so far I can easily see Adam causing another upset in this tournament." Jerry said giving his honest opinion on things.

"Are both fighters ready?!" Anna asked with both men getting into their fighting positions. "THAN FIGHT!"

Adam was quick to move beginning with a left hook right to Jun's face but the pro wrestler didn't even budge as he retaliated with a punch directly to Adam's torso. The blow forced Adam to hunch over in pain but that gave Jun the perfect chance to delver a slap to Adam's face sending him bouncing across the floor.

Adam groaned as he regained his bearings but startled gasp from the audience quickly drew his attention and as he found his opponent his eyes widened in alarm and terror. Jun had taken the few seconds he got to leap into the air and prepare an elbow drop to end the match.

It was thanks to Adam's reaction time that he managed to get up and out of the way in time to avoid the attack. However that gave Adam the perfect opportunity to deliver a brutal kick directly to Jun's face causing it to snap back as blood burst from his nose.

Adam didn't relent though as he kept on delivering kicks all over his body wanting to deal as much damage as he possibly can. "So you don't like to block huh well let's see how far that gets you!" Adam taunted as he kept on delivering kick after kick.

Only for Jun to suddenly reach out and grab Adam's ankle.

Adam grit his teeth as he tired to break free only for his struggling to provide nothing substantial. Jun began to chuckle slightly as he got to his feet blood dripping down his face and several points on his body as he still held Adam in his grasp. "Well that was a fun little round one." Jun told the American before he moved the arm that was holding Adam's ankle back. "Here's hoping that round 2 is just as entertaining!"

Adam's struggling all ended when Jun turned and jerked his arm to the around causing Adam to lose his balance and collapse to the ground before being dragged across the ground.

"And it's an explosive start with both fighters taking some heavy damage, however Jun Sekibayashi has the clear advantage as he drags Adam Dudley around like a rag doll!" Sayaka commented watching as Adam couldn't hold in the wince as he felt something burst from his back as it started to bleed.

Himuro frowned while seeing. "Adam needs to be more careful. His opponents before this can't hold a candle to Jun." He muttered glancing to his right. "No offense Kaneda." He told the giant killer who didn't even look away from the fight. "Don't give it another thought Himuro" The smaller man told him. "You're right after all. My specs were almost all lower than Adam's and Mokichi Robinson looks to be about equal with Adam." Kaneda observed.

"But Sekibayashi's stats are far above Adam's. So his normal street fighting style isn't going to cut it. He'll need to get creative."

Adam was gritting his teeth so hard he was concerned his lower teeth with crack as he was continuously dragged and flung around blood now covering several parts of his body.. 'Come on think damn it think! How do I get out of this?!' Adam thought trying to keep his thinking leveled.

However due to being flung around the blood was entering and exiting his head at a rapid pace causing his thoughts to get jumble. 'Bastard might as well have be suffocating me.' He thought as he felt himself being raised again. 'Hold on.' Adam thought his eyes going wide before a smirk grew on his face. 'That's it.'

Jun meanwhile still holding Adam by the ankle was currently holding him over his shoulder. "Well kid ready to say good night?' Jun asked only to receive no answer. "Well then. Let's not waste any more time!" Jun decided as he raised Adam over his head ready to slam him down.

Only to freeze when he felt the arms wrapped around his neck.

In mid swing Adam had managed to wrap his arms around Jun's neck in a chokehold using Haki to further increase the pressure. Predictably Jun let go of Adam's leg to try and pry Adam off him. However this gave Adam time to position himself better.

"And just when it looks like Adam was heading for loser's ring he reverses his situation in an instant!" Sayaka cheered at the sudden development. "Jun better hurry, He's only gotten seconds before he's out cold. It usually only takes 9 seconds for a chokehold to knock someone out! He might get some extra time due to his physic but that wont buy him munch time." Jerry added knowing Jun had to make every second count.

The wrestler meanwhile was grinning not bad kid, but it's gonna take more than that to stop me!' Jun thought before launching himself back and began running backwards. Adam however simply tightening his grip. "Sorry old man but my Pa was a professional bull rider and he was kind enough to show me some of his moves, so it's going to take more than that to knock me off!" He told the professional wrestler.

By now darkness was beginning to creep into the bigger man's vision but he still managed to smirk as he continued to move back. "Who said anything about knocking you off?" Jun responded causing Adam to blink confused before his eyes widened in realization but it was too late.

BOOM

Adam let out a strangled gasp of pain as he was slammed between the arena wall as his grip went limp and fell to his side. Anna quickly rushed over to exam Adam before raising her hand. "MATCH OVER!" She shouted as she gestured to Jun who already took his fist in the air as the audience was already cheering. "WINNER JUN SEKIBAYASHI!" She finally announced.

"And there you have it ladies and gentlemen the final 4 as well as our semifinals have been decided. The first match will be Izuku Midoriya vs Genzi Muteba while our second match will be Wakasuki Takeshi vs Jun Sekibayashi! It's from these four gladiators that our new champion will emerge!" Sayaka commented from the audience. "Who will rise to the top? Who will crash and burn? By the time the sun sets we'll have the answers to these questions!"

"Well looks like you might be getting that championship belt after all." Gen muttered with a smirk as Jun laughed. "What can I say I-." Jun suddenly stopped himself as he looked around. "Where's the kid?" He asked having noticed Iida had vanished. Gen hummed before glancing around. "Odd Iida's never done something like this before." He muttered. "Want to look for him?" Jun muttered an uneasy frown on his face.

The CEO just smiled and shock his head. "It's fine. He's probably just gone off to find his friends. It's a little odd that he didn't say anything but hey it's not like anyone can say they haven't done anything out of character before." Gen relied getting a laugh from Jun. "Can't argue with that."

Gen patted him on the back. "He'll join back up with us later. For now let's focus on getting you prepared for your next match. Wakasuki might be injured but it's still going to be a tough fight." Gen reasoned and Jun nodded. "Oh I know." Jun smirked. "And I wouldn't have it any other way."

Line break.

Adam groaned as he finally came to. 'What...what happened?' He thought before his eyes widened as he recalled what happened. "The match, FUCK!" He shouted as he slapped his hand over his face. "I fucked it up, damn it!" He thought as he sat up while ignored the pain as he noticed his body now wrapped in bandages.

"Damn it why didn't I see what that fucking meathead was planning, it was so fucking obvious!" He continued to rant to himself before a low chuckle reached his ear. "It was simply a factor of your age and experience." Gensei told him as Adam looked to see him setting by his bedside. "You learn from this and wont be caught off guard again." He told the American. "Still it was a nice match."

Adam let a rueful smile cover his face. "Thanks pop but you don't have to sugar coat it. We didn't even get to using Haki!" He muttered getting a nod from Gensei. "True but again it was mainly due to your experience. Almost your entire history comes from street fighting correct? Well the more time you spend in the Kengan matches the more you'll experience and the more you'll grow."

Adam starred at the older man for several seconds before giving a smirk. "Thanks pops, think you could give me some tips?" He asked and Gensei grunted and folded his arms. "I don't take students." He told the American bluntly, but after a few seconds he sighed. "Though perhaps a few tips wouldn't hurt." Adam laughed as he heard this.

"I won't let you down pops!"

Line break.

"Is it almost done Yurihama?" Togo demanded of her secretary who had her hands over Muteba's eyes with a green glow coming from them. The mercenary himself was laying on an operating table and seemed to be asleep. The woman nodded. "Yes ma'am, Muteba will be ready for his match." She confirmed getting a wide smirk from the CEO. "Perfect." She cackled before hearing the door opened with Kirimi and Rino entering.

"So you're really trying this?" Kirimi asked. "Seems a little risky doing this so close to the semifinals." He muttered with Togo giving him a smirk. "Ah don't be such a pansy cowboy, I've had this planned since the beginning of this little shit show." Togo admitted before scowling. "And considering the little monster he's going up against I say we need all advantages we can get." She muttered before looking back to her fighter.

"Besides who knows what other bullshit that brat has up his sleeve."

Line break.

Furumi Heihachi sat silently in a private room next to Wakasuki who was hooked up to various machines and monitoring systems. The wild tiger was currently asleep and the CEO couldn't look at the man without feeling an immense amount of guilt.

The moment Hanafusa spotted him he practically teleported over to him and was examining and muttering under his breathe before immediately taking him to an operating room and been his treatment.

The surgery didn't take as long Heihachi feared but the results were still quite devastating to hear.

The bite wounds were close to infection

several bones were shattered with many more cracked

nerve damage from where the Rakshasa's Palm landed

his arm that had landed the final Blast Core was broken in several places and his shoulder was dislocated

and the beginnings of a fever were already showing

The CEO couldn't even look the doctor in the eyes as the younger man relentlessly tearing into him for letting it get this bad and not bringing him here. Heihachi weakly responded that Wakasuki didn't want any of the other compeitors knowing of injuries only to receive a look of absolute disgust from the doctor.

The doctor didn't even look at him as Wakasuki was placed in a pirate room as he told the CEO that in no uncertain terms that should Wakasuki fight anymore in the tournament he's mostly likely going to get an injury that he will never recover from.

Hanafusa then turned to leave however he did leave the CEO with some parting words. "I would seriously consider removing him from the tournament, well if you truly do care about him that is." The doctor told him before leaving the room.

Since then Heihachi was simply sitting at his fighter's bedside watching him sleep as he reminisced on his meetings with the boy.

Being introduced to him and his brother Imasuji in the research faculty

Growing close to the two boys who gradually became bigger and bigger parts of his life

Being brought into the Kengan association and soon bring the two brothers into that world as well.

Watching in pride as the two got stronger and stronger as they're names started to spread.

Falling to the ground in disbelief when he heard that Imasuji was wanted for murder and was going on the run

Wakasuki had been inconsolable after he learned the news and it took close to half a year before Takeshi was able to start moving forward. Heihachi at first decided to keep his distance. Having never been through something like that before he had no idea on what to say and thought it would be best to give the boy some space until he was ready.

A decision he regretted ever since.

"I wasn't there for you the last time you needed me." He muttered as he placed his hand on the man's shoulder. "But I won't make that mistake again I promise." He declared a look of determination crossing his face. Wakasuki might very well come to hate him because of his decision but if it meant saving his life that is a price the CEO was more than willing to accept.

Line break.

"Oh there you are Izuku!"

The green haired teen along with Jackie were still sitting at the bar before turning and saw Kazuo approach them. Izuku smiled upon seeing him. "Ah Mr. Yamashita how was your talk with your sons?" Izuku asked and Kazuo let out a beaming smile. "It was wonderful and really helped matters I think. They're out exploring the island right now and reconnecting. I'll introduce you to them officially later." Kazuo promised knowing Izuku has meet Kenzo yet and his first meeting with Yasuo was less than ideal.

"That sounds wonderful." Izuku smiled before gesturing to Jackie. "This is Jackie Lee, a new friend of mine." Izuku introduced as Kazuo extended his hand. "It's a pleasure Mr.Lee." He said as Jackie smiled and took his hand. "Please call me Jackie." He told the businessman before the tv came to life again catching everyone's attention.

"Attention everyone we've got some shocking news!" Sayaka said her eyes wide and her tone was filled with disbelief. "Furumi Pharmaceuticals has just announced their withdraw from the tournament due to as of yet unknown reasons!" Sayaka declared with exclamations of shock ringing out through the island.

"No way!" Cosmo shouted in complete disbelief at hearing his friend's company just drop out of the tournament. "There's no way Wakasuki would accept something like this!" The king of stranglers declared wanting to get to the bottom of this.

Shion meanwhile breathed out a an annoyed steam of smoke. "Of course he had to wait until after the match to pull this." The young woman muttered fully annoyed that she was now eliminated for no reason.

Jun himself grunted with a nod. "Given the injuries he was building up it was the right choice. I would have hated to accidentally cripple the guy." The pro wrestler muttered with Gen nodding. "And with how close Heihachi is to his fighter he wasn't going to simply change his fighters."

As these and other conversations were going on Sayaka continued to speak. "This means that his opponent Jun Sekibashi of Gandai wins the match! Meaning that we have our first Annihilation tournament finalist!" She exlaimed as the bracket appears and it shows Jun moving to the finals position.

"And speaking of the finals it's time to to see who will be joining him so will Izuku Midoriya and Muteba Gazinga please make their ways to the arena?!

The tv turned off and Izuku got out of his seat and began to stretch. "Well let's get going mr. Yamashita." He told the businessman before turning to Jackie. "You wanna come?" He asked with Jackie blinking at the offer. "You sure I won't be in the way?" He asked with Izuku raising an eyebrow. "Do you plan to get in the way?" He asked getting a shake of the head from Jackie. "Well then it should be fine." Izuku reasoned having already started to walk away.

Jackie just blinked a bit confused before he heard Kazuo shouted as he reached up to pat the older man's shoulder. "Don't think that much about it. It's just how Izuku is. You'll get used to it." He promised with Jackie humming. "If you say so."

"That's the sprit! Now come on let's go cheer Izuku on!" Kazuo cheer as he followed after the young man and after a moment Jackie followed after a small smile etching its way on to his face.

Line break

"And now it's time for the semifinal match! Which of these two will make it to the finals? Let's not waste anytime and find out!" Sayaka's introduction "Up first is this man!" She said before gesturing to the left.

"He's the youngest fighter in the tournament but he's proven age is just a number! From Yamashtia Corporation, It's the Ashura, Izuku Midoriya!" She cheered which was soon joined by the screaming fans as the young man walked on to the field, hands in his pocket with a relaxed smile on his face.

"And facing him is the man who's gone from on slaughter to another! From Iwami Heavy Industries, it's the Genosider, Muteba Gazinga!" As the mercenary walked into the arena he could hear Toga yelling at him that he had better win. 'Easier said then done.' He thought as he stood across from the young man as Yamamoto once again entered the arena.

"AT THE READY!" The referee shouted as both got into their fighting stances. 'Well than kid, let's see what you got.' Muteba thought to himself as he prepared himself. However a moment later a shocked look came across his face. 'He's gone!' The mercenary thought as Izuku completely disappeared from his Haki sensing.

"FIGHT!"

Izuku instantly vanished in a Shave before reappearing in the air directly to the right of the mercenary, delivering a roundhouse kick to the man's nose causing it to break instantly before once more disappearing and reappearing in front of him before delivering an uppercut to Muteba's chin. The older man's head back and Izuku unleashed a flurry of blows onto Gazinga belting the man with hits before reeling his fist back and delivering a Five Thousand Tile True Fist onto the mercenary.

The Genocider flew through the air as if he was shot out of a cannon before crashing into the wall with such force it caused the arena to shake and the older man to be buried deep into the wall,

"And Midoriya waste no time in his assault, delivering a merciless assault on to Gazinga!" Sayaka commentated. "Yeah catching Muteba off guard was definitely the right call, though I do wonder how he did it. From what I understand of Haki he should have at least caught a glimpse of what Izuku was planning. So did something happened or was he simply unable to react in time?" Jerry questioned and Gazinga scowled as he spat out several globs of blood.

'Show's what you know, I can't even sense him anymore! Much less see what he's about to do!' Gazinga thought as he dug himself out of the hole. Izuku himself was smirking. 'Seems Observation Killer is working.' The teen thought before his smirk widened. 'Now let's end this.' Izuku thought before taking to the air using Moon Walk. 'Okay so Observation Killer took care of his Haki, I'm off the ground so that takes care of Seismic Sense, Raian took care of his hearing for the most part and I just broke his nose.' Izuku went over his mental check list. 'So I should be able to end the match with this.'

Without hesitation Izuku rained down Tempest Kicks down onto the mercenary, aiming for just enough to hit him to cause enough damage to cause Muteba to go down. However to Izuku's shock  Gazinga's head snapped up, a look of panic crossing his face as he began to frantically duck and weave to avoid the attacks.

Izuku's stoped his assault and stared at his opponent in complete confusion wondering just what the hell was going on. A sentiment shared by the rest of the audience. "And Muteba manages to dodge Miodoriya's assault by a hair!" Sayaka commentated with Jerry nodding. "It seems Gazinga's got his Haki back under control, considering the way he just moved." The fighter theorized.

'No, that's not it.' Kaneda thought leaning forward while deep in thought. 'Midoriya's Haki presence has completely disappeared, it's like he's a mannequin standing there.' He thought interested in this new development.

Elsewhere Agito was watching was Gensei and Adam in the infirmary. "Not to mention Gazinga's hearing must still be damaged from his fight with Raian Kure. The 5th fang took noticed off as Gensei nodded. "Along with the fact that Midoriya is in the air while firing off those attacks means his seismic sense is ineffective." The Devil Lance muttered before narrowing his eyes.

"Which could mean only one thing!" Adam shouted his eyes wide in realization.

'He can see.' Izuku thought critically coming to the same conclusion as many of the other fighters in the arena watching the match. 'It's the only way he could have avoided the Tempest Kicks.' Izuku thought watching as Muteba was now looking directly up at him with a frown and a nervous sweat dripping down his face.

"GOD DAMN IT!" Togo shouted at the top her lungs as she whirled her head around in a fury while running her hands through her hair in a fit! "WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?! HOW COULD YOU JUST UP AND FUCK UP LIKE THAT?!" The CEO roared in absolute rage.

She had it all planned out. After the 3rd match Togo would put artificial eyes into Muteba with a quick surgery before her secretary who's quirk allows her to heal a single body part of anyone to perfect health once a day quickly fix him up. Lucky for her the eyes combined were considered  a single part. Odd but something Togo was fully willing to exploit if it meant having a hidden ace up his sleeve.

'One that's now gone because Gazinga couldn't man up and take a few hits!' Togo thought as she grit her teeth in anger.

Back on the field Izuku smirked before suddenly disappearing causing Gazinga to look around only to stumble back as Izuku appeared mere inches in front of him. The boy's fist quickly approaching the mercenary's face. However Muteba saw what the boy was planning. The boy's fist was positioned  in a way were his thumb was closest to Muteba with the mercenary being able to see the boy's thumb sticking out and on a direct path to his right eye.

'Little bastard!' Muteba growled in his head blocking the jab with his arm only to hunch over as Izuku covered his fist in Armament Haki and planted it directly in the mercenary's stomach. Gazinga growled going for a Haki covered Heart jab only for Izuku to meet his attack with punch that completely shattered the fingers in the mercenary's hand. A quick kick to the man's leg destroyed his balance and Izuku quickly followed this up with a chop to the neck.

The mercenary dropped to the ground and tuned around just in time to see Izuku quickly raise his leg to stomp down on the genocider. He was able to raise the arm of his unbroken hand just in time,

"Wait. I give, I give!" He shouted and instantly Izuku's leg stoped it's decent and placed it down calmly with a smirk. "MATCH OVER!" Yamamoto shouted as he raised his arm. "WINNER IZUKU MIDORIYA!" He shouted over the roaring fans.

"And there you have it everyone, Our final round will be between the Ashura, Izuku Midoriya and Hell's Angel, Jun Sekibayashi!" Sayaka declared with the screaming fans nearly shaking in their seats. Izuku grinned as he extended his hand for the mercenary who took it.

"Thanks." The genocider told the younger man as he got to his feet. "You know you're a pretty scary ass kid. You know that?" He told Izuku who merely smirked. "I've been told that a few times." He admitted getting a laugh from the older man. "Figures." He muttered. "Hey listen do me a favor and try and win this thing. Gonna look a lot better for me if I'm taken out by the guy who ends up winning." He requested with Izuku giving out a laugh. "I'll see what I can do." Izuku promised with the mercenary giving another grin before walking off.

As he made it to  his entrance Togo was predictably waiting for him. "What the fuck was that?!" She demanded with Muteba giving a helpless shrug. "What were  you expecting from me? The match would have ended had that stomp connected anyway. I simply decided to end the match before any more damage could be done." He said told his employer showing his broken hand and fingers.

Togo was still shaking in rage. "Well then what about the money I wasted on you?! We agreed on a money back guarantee if you got your ass kicked?!" She growled as grinds her teeth together and Muteba gave her a grin as he raised a finger.

"Ah ah ah, that's not true. Our agreement was that I wouldn't get paid unless I won. The only money I've gotten so far was the hiring fee." Muteba answered as her secretary came up with Gazinga's clothes which he took with a thank you.

Togo was still shimmering with rage as she watched Gazinga get dressed which the mercenary noticed and let out a sigh as he reached into his pocket. "Here." He told her handing her what looks like a business card. "What the hell is this?" She questioned looking it over as Muteba answered.

"A freebie. It guarantees one free job, anytime, anyplace." Muteba answered before giving a nod of his hand. "Now if that's all I really must be going. I've got to pay the good doctor before my next job." He said before turning around and walking off leaving the two women alone.

"Ah.. Ms. Tomari are you okay?" Her secretary nervously noticing her boss's shoulders start to shake only to stumble back with a terrified squeal as Togo's face blossomed with a slasher smile spreading so wide it looked to be threatening her face in two.

"Now this.. this golden ticket has some potential!" She cackled insanely as she trough her bead back. "Now the question is what do I use this little baby for?!" She continued to laugh while Fusae let out a tired sigh. 'Why can't she be normal for once?!' The secretary questioned with tears streaming down her face.

Meanwhile Gazinga was walking down the hall way to the infirmary, enjoying having sight again after so long when he noticed a ground of Hayami's leading a ground of nervous looking teens and young adults somewhere. Muteba smirked as he quirked an eyebrow.

'Now where are you lot of to?' He thought before discreetly following after them.

Line break.

"Way to go Izuku, just one more to go!" Kazuo cheered as Izuku left the arena and was greeted by Kazuo and Jackie. "Yeah those techniques were great on the screen but seeing them up close was even better. Would love to learn them." Jackie admitted getting a grin from Izuku. "Well I could teach you if you want." Izuku offered which got a grin in return from the older man,

"Oh is that offer open to everyone?" A newcomer asked and all 3 men turned to see Mirko walking up with a smirk. "Ms. Mirko!" Kazuo shouted in surprise but was ignored as Mirko walked past him. She did spare a glance towards Jackie who retuned her gaze before the rabbit hero turned her attention back to Izuku.

"Those 6 Powers of yours are impressive, especially those Moon Walk and Tempest Kicks of yours." Mirko praised as she smirked and leaned in close. "So what do you say? Mind if I join this little class of yours?" She asked with Izuku raising an eyebrow. "I mean sure if you want, but are you sure you can pull them off?" Izuku questioned Rumi snorted as she slapped her legs.

"Have you seen these girls?" She asked rhetorically as an arrogant smirk covered her face. "They were made for kicking, there's no kicking technique I can't master!" She challenged and Izuku gave a grin. "Well  I've got some time before the final match, why don't we go see if you actually got what it takes?" Izuku challenged and Mirko's smirk covered her entire face.

However it was than Kazuo's phone went off and after checking it the businessman's eyes widen slightly. "Ah Izuku I just got a message from Mr.Nogi. He wants you examined straight away to make sure you're still in fighting condition." Yamashita told the teen who took the phone and examined it before sighing in annoyance.

"Guess my regeneration isn't enough for the old man." Izuku grumbled in annoyance before turning to Jackie and Mirko. "looks like we're going to need a raincheck on those lessons." Izuku muttered with the two waving it off. "Oh no worries, we've all been through things like this." Jackie reassured with Mirko nodded. "Yeah trust me I get it, buzzkills are nothing new." She added and this time it was Jackie who nodded. "Yeah can't tell you how many times Yan ruined my fun."

Izuku smiled in gratitude. "Thanks guys." He gave a nod of thanks before turning to leave. "Well Mr. Yamashita, let's get going." He told his manager who nodded as the two began to walk off. However they didn't make it more than a few steps before they heard Mirko shout.

"Oi, don't think you can just leave us behind!" She shouted as she and Jackie were walking besides them. "Yeah we can still walk and talk." Jackie suggested before pouting. "Unless you don't like our company." He accused with Izuku smirking in amusement.

"Why who can ever dislike your company Jackie?" Izuku asked rhetorically as Mirko snickered. "Well with that settled let's get little green here to the medical wing so he can get boo-boos looked at!" The rabbit hero declared and Izuku with a deadpanned look actually looked down on the smaller woman. "You realize I'm taller than you right?" He asked the shooter woman who just waved it off.

"Details Little Green details." She muttered before patting his back. "Now let's get going, and don't you worry I'll hold your hand if you need a shot." She promised with a teasing smirk. Izuku felt his eyebrow twitch in annoyance and it didn't help he could hear Jackie snickering under his breathe while he saw Kazuo turn away but he could see his shoulders shaking lightly and could hear the odd chuckle escape from the older man.

The eye twitch got worse but all that escaped was an annoyed sigh. "What a drag." He muttered as the group made their way to the medical wing.

Line break.

Gen was watching Jun prepare for his match  with his arms crossed. "So ready for your big rematch?" He asked getting a laugh from the wrestler. "What are you talking about? You said it before remember?" Jun questioned before raising 3 fingers. "A wrestling matching is best of 3, this is just round 2!" Jun laughed before punching his fist into his palm. "Besides everyone loves a good come back story!"

Gen just smirked at his fighter's antics before it disappeared into a frown as he looked at his phone again. Only to see he hadn't received any new messages. "Jun frowned seeing this. "Still nothing from the kid?" He asked causing  Gen's frown to deepened. "No. Iida's never acted like this before and I'm worried." He told the larger man who couldn't say anything because a knock of the door was heard.

The two spared a glance before Gen decided to answer. "Come in." He invited as the doors opened with Juzo walking in. "Juzo what a surprise." Gen said with surprise lacing his voice. "Yeah sorry to interrupt you before such an important fight but there's something I gotta ask you"

"Now this really caught Gen's attention. Both were veterans in the Kengan Association both as fighters and competitors and Gen knew Juzo wouldn't have interrupted unless it was important. Seeing that he had his fellow CEO's attention Juzo went on. "I'll be blunt my niece is missing and I was wondering if you or your nephew had heard or seen anything?:

Instantly red flags flared to life in Gen's head and his face immediately darkened which Juzo immediately saw. "So you do know something." He theorized. "No but my nephew has been gone for quite a while now too. At first I thought he ran off to go find his friends but now I'm not so sure." Gen spoke of his own worries. "Friends? You mean Izuku Midoriya? You think he and Yamashita cooperation have anything to do with it?" Juzo asked with the bald CEO shaking his head.

"I can't think of a reason why not to mention that's not the vibe I got off them from my brief encounters of them." Gen explained having meet Yamashita only a couple of times now. Once at the kengan match and the other when they were drawing lots. "Maybe someone else then? A competitor that's already lost or didn't qualify, maybe a villain snuck on to the island." The scared CEO theorized.

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold on a minute." Jun said as he tired to ease the tension in the room. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We don't even know if they were taken, they're kids they could just be goofing off somewhere. Besides even if someone did take them, this place is overflowing with Kalahara's bodyguards, not to mention fighters and pro heroes. Any dumbass that's trying something is bound to get caught.them which again I don't see happening."

Despite Jun's words neither CEO felt reassured and both could remember their fellow Kengan members looking more and more uneasy and nervous these past couple of days."

"Attention everyone, the final match will begin in half an hour, Izuku Midoriya and Jun Sekibayashi please head to your waiting rooms now."

The announcement prevented anymore discussion as Jun smirked and slammed his fist together. "Well then looks like it's go time!" He laughed before facing Gen. "You remember what we talked about?" He asked causing Gen to let out a tired sigh but he nodded with even a small smile managing to come out.

"Yes. Everything should be waiting in your waiting room." Gen promised and Jun smirked before giving a nod of thanks as he headed out the door. "Well then gentlemen all I've got to say is sit back and enjoy the show."

Line break.

Kazuo paced nervously outside the room Izuku was currently in along with doctor Hanafusa while Mirko and Jackie were watching him go back and forth." However it was clear Mirko was getting more and more annoyed as she watched this go on. Finally she released an annoyed grunt.

"Come on man, give it a rest you carving a hole into the floor won't make this go by any quicker." She told him causing Kazuo to stop and look at her apolitically. "Sorry Ms.Mirko, he's just been in there for a while and with that announcement my nerves are a more than a little on edge." He told her.

"Completely understandable Mr. Yamashita!" A new voice cried causing everyone to turn and see Crust and Ira approaching them. "And Mirko you must be more considerate to others feeling." He attempted to lecture the younger hero who just rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah crust I get it. What are you doing here anyway?" She asked causing the shield hero to laugh. "Why to check on young Midoriya of course! We heard he was here and Ira and I wanted to make sure everything was okay!" The pro hero admitted with Ira nodding in agreement as the door opened and the boy in question exited while finishing putting on his shirt.

"Relax I'm perfectly fine." Izuku reassured him before looking behind him. "Are you about done?" He asked as doctor Hanafusa who was mutteringly insanely a mile a minute. Fortunately he seemed to snap out of his funk. "Yes. Apologies for that little display I just got a little excited once I finished my examination, especially glancing at that back of yours." He said sounding almost wistful before shaking his head. "You're clear to fight I didn't find any problems." He said before placing a hand on Izuku's shoulder. "Though should the worst happen and you find yourself leaving the mortal coil rest knowing I'll take very good care of your corpse." He promised with the most sincere smile many had ever seen.

This did little to distract from what he just said however and with a dry look Izuku nodded. "Good to know." He muttered with a tone that matched his look before turning to his manger. "Let's go Mr. Yamashita." He said getting a nod from the older man as the two headed for Izuku's assigned dressing room. Jackie and Mirko were about to follow after him before the mad doctor turned his attention to them and his eyes seemed to light up as if noticing them for the first time.

"Well hello there would either of you two care for an examination? I've got a free table-" Hanafusa didn't even get to finish his offer when the two immediately turned to follow after Izuku and Kazuo. "No thanks." They muttered quickly leaving the room leaving a pounding doctor behind.

"It seems there's no one who cares about medical advances these days."

Line Break.

The arena was shaking from the cheers of the crowd though nobody seemed mind as they showed their support to the two fighters who have yet to enter the arena. And after giving the audience a few moments Sayaka began the final introductions.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have finally arrived at this moment. After 5 days and 30 brutal matches two gladiators have made their way to the top! Karate, Boxing, Judo, Mixed Martial arts, Ballet and so many other styles have been shown with all us being lucky enough to have witnessed these clashes! And it's been all leading up to this moment!

A commotion  cut off Sayaka's introduction causing them to turn and see 24 of the 30 eliminated fighters sitting right behind the booth. The 7  missing being Wakasuki, Raian Muteba, Meguro, Bando, Setsuna and Sen "COME ON! LET'S GET THE MATCH STARTED!" Saw Paing shouted in his normal style. "Yeah this is the match everyone's been waiting for!" Lihito laughed. Gaolong watched on with his arms crossed. "This is more than just the finals. Apparently it's a rematch for before." The Thai god of war commented as Rei who was sitting beside him glanced towards him.

"Izuku Midoriya and Jun Sekibayashi have faced each other before?" He asked looking down in the arena with his new set of eyes, the same kind Muteba now had ,while getting a nod. "Izuku Midoriya bested Jun Sekibayashi and that's how this whole tournament got started." Gaolong explained what he knew.

"So it would seem Midoriya has the advantage." The former assassin said with the boxing master hummed. "All evidence points towards that but it would be foolish to dismiss Jun Sekibayashi esspically since both have Haki." Gaolong muttered with just a hint of jealously entering his voice when mentioning the myserteous power.

Conversations were occurring between all the eliminated fighters and Salami had stoped for a moment to listen to some of the commentary before picking it up again. "Now let's not waste anymore time!" Sayaka suggested getting cheers and shouts of agreement from the crowds as she turned to the right entrance.

"Let's begin our introductions and is there anyone we can truly begin with than the man who has turned the Kengan Assoicaiotn on its head?!" She questioned. "He came into this tournament an unknown but know he seems to be at the center of it all! I give you the Ashura, Izuku Midoriya!"

Inside the entrance tunnel Izuku smirked as he began heading out. "Well let's do this." He muttered before looking back to see Kazuo, Jackie and Mirko smiling in support with Mirko giving a thumbs up. "Do your best Izuku." Kazuo told him. "Don't let that meathead beat you kid, hear me?" Mirko asked getting a laugh from Izuku. "Well do." He promised before heading out to the cheering crowd.

"There he is!"

"Don't lose it now kid!"

"We know you can win it all!"

It wasn't just the spectators who were cheering but the fighters as well.

"Come on buddy show everyone what you're made of!" Cosmo shouted his own support. "You've proven yourself to be a worthy champion now just claim the title officially." Agito through in his own support.

Raian was sitting alone in the stands after getting patched up. "Don't you dare lose and make me look bad you little shit!" Raian threatened but still had an exciting grin on his face.

However it was than all lights in the stadium went dark and an emergency siren and flashing red lights began to over take the arena. The crowd began to mutter and some looked close to panicking however Sayaka was quick to ease their fears.

"Attention everyone I've just got an urgent update! For the final battle Gundai is making a fighter change! They will be using a new fighter for the final match!" She revealed as many in the audience voiced their confusion. "What the hell man?! I thought that Sekibayashi was good to go!" Adam shouted from his seat. "It's definitely odd. Not many can hold a candle to Jun Sekibayashi, maybe they had another ace up their sleeve." Kaneda theorized as he scratched his chin in thought.

Sayaka took a deep breathe as she fought to keep the smile small as she prepared to introduce the fighter. "Okay people let the reserve fighter enter the ring!" She announced as a blue mist suddenly covered the arena from the entry way.

From the blue mist flames appeared and with them cloaked figures holding torches as two rows of them slowly marched onto the field. They appeared half way to where Izuku and Sayaka were waiting before facing each other and placing their touches together illuminating the entrance and revealing a figure waiting in the darkness.

"He is summoned." Sayaka began ominously. "Straight from the darkest bowels o hell." She continued as the figure began to walk calmly into the arena. "His origins and even his true species remain a mystery as anyone who's gone searching for answers has never been seen again. Gundai has sponsored this demon from below! It's the God of Hell, It's Marvelous Seki!" Sayaka finished as the lights flashed one revealing Sekibayashi with a demented smile on his face while having his face covered like a clown.

The audience upon seeing the reveal went into a frenzy upon seeing Marvelous Seki while the fighters where a mixed bag. "Are fucking kidding me?! They put on that whole dog and pony show for this crap?!" Takeru demanded while growling in his seat with Okubo nodding. "He's dressing up for Halloween a bit early I mean we're still in July." He reminded him.

"AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!" Saw Paing shouted eyes wide and crazy. "THIS IS EXACTLY HOW A TOURNAMENT LIKE THIS SHOULD END!" He roared. "Hell yeah brother!" Lihito was in complete agreement.

Kanade meanwhile was shaking. "Marvelous Seki! His death match style is legendary! I can't believe I get to see it with my own eyes!" This got more than a few of the fighters attention. "And just what's so special about this?" Hassad questioned wondering if this was truly anything more than an act.

"Marvelous Seki or Jun Sekibayashi. He's a hellish monster who specializes in death match style fighting. He was only allowed to be on the circuit for one year yet his impact was huge, almost exclusively fighting in death matches. He plunged Chonichi into the depths of terror. Two years ago he faced the God of Pro wrestling, Karugo Kurachi, in a match they. still talk about today, called the "Death match of 10,000 Fluorescent lightbulbs." He disappeared and we thought he went back to hell."

Finish his explanation Kande stood up. "Never did I imagine he'd appeared here." He gasped in happiness while the fighters looked on with various emotions. "So that's his story." Nezu muttered while Okubo snorted. "Scrawny guys really do love pro wrestling huh?" He asked as Kande sat down. "Well regardless of what you think just know that Marvelous Seki has a completely different fighting style then Jun." He warned as they all turned to their attention back to the arena.

No one noticed how Haru leaned forward and was paying extra close attention.

From his monitor Hiashi smirked. "God of Hell huh? A truly fitting final opponent and obstacle before claiming your hard on victory my son." The ancient villain approved as a proud smile filled his face as the camera picked over to the green haired boy. "This is it Izuku, this will be where you cement your mark on the world."

"Marvelous Seki huh, can't say I'm disappointed but I was kinda hoping for a rematch with Jun." Izuku told the older man who laughed as he wiggled his fingers cracking them as he did so." Oh don't you worry boy, this is going to fun especially when I'm beating you to death like we do in my circle of hell!" He laughed while sticking out his tongue.

Izuku gave a laugh of his own as a response. "You really are a demon huh? Always wanted to fight one." Izuku admitted before a grin covered his face. "Well then since you're allowing me to fight something I've always wanted to, how about I let you fight something I'm sure you've always wanted to fight." Izuku proposed with Seki matching his grin. "Sounds fantastic let's see it." He accepted.

Izuku gave a brief nod before he leaned his upper body forward, then lower his body by putting his right leg back and clenches both his fists, one above and one below his head each. "Well?" Izuku asked with a smirk. "What do you think?"

Everyone both fighters and non were confused by the strange stance. Just what was he trying to do?

'What is this?' Seki thought with narrowed eyes trying to figure out what the boy was planning before his eyes widen.

Ultimately it was his opponent Marvelous Seki who saw it first.

The grin that he wore threatened to split his face in two. "Oh you absolute mad genius little bastard!" He roared in complete rapture.

Next it was the fighters that could see it.

"Holy shit! Lihito shouted shooting up from his seat with Cosmo nodding. "You can say that again." He muttered in disbelief. Agito and Julius had their eyes narrowed. "So he had more tricks up his sleeve than what he showed in our fights." The fang muttered to the monster who was gripping the arm rest so hard they were instantly crushed under the pressure.

"It would appear so.

"Now that's scary." Jackie wrestled an impressed smile on his face as Mirko was literally shaking. "Okay I call dibs on the next match!" She shouted.

Than came the sponsors who had an eye for talent.

"Izuku.. to think you still had a card like this to play." Kazuo muttered with a shake of the head and a small smile on his face. "Heh, that's my little brother for ya." Shion muttered with a smirk from the bar she watching in while a few seats a way Ken laughed happily into his drink. "Kazzy I've said it before and I've said it again, you've got your self a real ringer!'

Soon it became visible to everyone.

"OH MY GOD! I CAN"T BELIVE IT! IS EVERYONE SEEING THIS?!" Jerry roared into his mic as the crowd erupted into noise. Sayaka herself was speechless. "I can't believe what I'm seeing. I never thought I'd see the day! But somehow! Someway!" She cried before taking a breathe as if the words would make what they were seeing a reality.

"A dinosaur has appeared in the stadium!"

How just how was such a thing possible?! The quirk canncllers were already activated so just how was Izuku Midoriya capable of something like this? Thus was the question going through almost everyone's head.

However for the fighters a few had a theory. Gensei hummed as he gazed into the arena. "The best practitioners of the form fist do more than merely emulate but actually make the beast their emulating actually appear." The Kaiwan Style practitioner recounted a phrase he heard in his youth.

"And now before everyone's eyes a monster's appeared." Agito finished crossing his arms, his arm twitching slightly as he tried to fight his excitement down at that thought of fighting it in the future.

"A dinosaur vs a demon, can anyone think of a more kick ass way to start our grand finale?!" Jerry questioned as Sayaka stood with a clenched fist. "Can't say I can Jerry, and if there is I don't want to hear it!" She answered as Tashiro Mosashi entered the arena to referee the match.

The other 3 referees in the stands watching as the newest and youngest referee approached the center of the field. 'This is how it should be.' Yammamoto thought. 'I'm to old for this, it's up to you to raise the next generation now.' He thought as Tashiro now stood in the center of the arena with both fighters already waiting in their respective fighting stance. 'Never forget that the referee is there to elevate "violence" into a "match."'

Seeing that both fighters were already ready Tashiro took a deep breathe. "

"Before we begin the final match I have something to say. The referee has a very small roll in the Kengan matches where there is virtually no fouls. All that we can do is call the match in and out." He told the two fighters before breathing in and out. "SO I WILL AT LEAST BE THE CLOSEST WITNESS! THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HUNDRED THOUSAND WITNESSES GATHERED HERE TODAY IN THE KENGAN DOME!" He roared as he raised his arm.

'AT THE READY!" He ready he roared as both tensed slightly as they covered their arms in Armament Haki. "No holding back for either of them I see." Kanade smiled with Agito nodding in agreement. "Would you truly expect anything less?" He qustioned getting a laugh from the shorter man.

"Not at all."

The stadium went silent as they all waited most not daring to breathe as they waited for the climax of the entire torment.

With one final glance between the two fighters before finally bringing his arm down

"BEGIN!

Both fighters moved as one and meet in the center of the ring. Seki's arms raised before delivering a barrage of Mongolian Chops to the smaller man's back as Izuku plowed into the man and started pushing him directly towards backwards.

Seki ignored the force and pain surging through his torso as he continued to hit Izuku in the back. Izuku grunted with each blow he felt towards his back, knowing Haki could tear through Shaorii Izuku dedicated to tough his defense. So with a mix of Iron body and Indestructible of the Adamantine Kata from the Niko Style Izuku was able to tighten and tense his muscles in his back to guard against the blows.

It wasn't flawless however as Seki's Haki along with his strength was more than to get through his defense. 'Fine than, time to go on the offense.' Izuku thought before to the surprise of Seki felt Izuku's fist bull back. 'What's he up to?' Seki thought with narrowed eyes trying to land back on the ground only for them to widen in panic when he saw Izuku put his two fist tother and aim them at Seki's chest.

Now Six King's Gun!' The shockwave rammed into Seki forcing Seki further back in the air with Izuku chasing after him. As he did so a new image overshadowed Izuku as extended his hands and raised his thumbs, index and middle fingers while keeping his ring and little finger down.

"A velociraptor this time!' The audience thought as the beast seemed to charge forward before attacking as Izuku swung his left arm. The fingers made contact and tore through Seki's skin causing him to gasp as the air left his lungs, allowing Izuku to slice even deeper with a swing from his right.

'Looks like the Raptor Claws are a success.' Izuku smirked.

"And this match is already off to an explosive start with both fighters taking damage right at the beginning!" Sayaka cheered into her mic. "Yeah but those strikes from Midoriya were practically rough." Jerry added getting a nod from Sayaka. "Any idea what it could have been though?" Jerry gave it a moment to think about it. "Best I can figure it was the Heavy Whip or something adjacent to it."

The Heavy Whip, A technique where the user swings their arms around like a whip. It involves moving the whole body in tandem, to concentrate all their weight onto their arms. It uses centrifugal force to shift the body's weight from the feet, to the hips, trunk, shoulder, elbow and finally to the fingers. This allows the user to slice through metal and flesh with their bare hands. A number of Chinese wushu schools teach a similar technique.

"Usually the user places their fingers together to increase the force behind it but with Midoriya's monstrous strength it would appear he has the strength he needs to make up the difference." Jerry finished his explanation as Izuku raced forward throwing a kick straight towards Seki's head. However the wrestler was ready this time as he was able to grab Izuku's and pull him forward before grabbing him in a headlock.

"Hope your ready kid." Seki warned with a crazed grin as the the two began to fall backwards. "For the DDT!" Seki shouted as the two slammed into the ground.

"DDT! Marvelous Seki pulls off a devasting move and slammed Midoriya into the ground!" Sayaka shouted. "Stay on guard Seki that didn't do as much damage as you were expecting." Gen thought seeing how the kid had both his hands planted on the ground.

'He used his arms to keep himself from fully slamming his head into the ground. It still did damage but Midoriya is far for bested.' Gensei thought before looking more intently at the match. 'But other than that you've made another mistake.

As Seki was struggling in keeping Izuku contained a his arm erupted in pain with such intensity and so suddenly it made Jun loss his grip allowing Izuku to break free and gain some distance. B Blood was dripping from his mouth but Izuku gave a grin showing bloody teeth before spitting out a large chunk of flesh.

Seki spared a glance towards his arm which was now missing a large amount of flesh and muscle. The wrestler gave it a hum before refocusing his attention back on his opponent. "Well than kid that was a good warm up but how about we really get this match started?!" Seki proposed getting a smirk of agreement from the teen. "Sounds good to me." Izuku accepted before adopting a new fighting stance.

Many in the audience blinked. "That's the Flicker Stance  of the Hitman Style of Boxing." Jerry pointed out with Sayaka nodding. "For those of you unaware this particular style is the go to for the Tai God of War Kaolan Wongsawat." She announced while many were interested in seeing a boxing vs wrestling match up.

As for the fighters each one turned to Kaolan who kept his eyes forward as he answered. "It's not perfect, not even close probably Upper-Intermediate. Not something one should usually use against an opponent at Sekibayashi's level but given what else Izuku Midoriya is capable of it should be fine." He answered.

Seki charged forehead with a backhand punch only for Izuku to duck and weave before delivering 3 swift jabs that Seki was easily able to ignore before throwing a Mongolian Chop that that Izuku blocked before throwing another barrage of punches that he landed over the gashes from the Raptor Claws. This caused Seki to wince for the briefest of moments but that was all Izuku needed before to deliver an Arabesque Brick Fist that launched Seki back.

The wrestler didn't let this slide however for as soon as he landed Seki charged forward with a shoulder tackle with Izuku quickly trying to side step only for Seki to pivot and and hurtle into him with a Lariat. Izuku spat up some blood before racing up to the man, this time firing of a Flash landing seven blows before backing up.

"Alright let's try something new." Izuku muttered before his image started to flicker. "I've seen this technique before." Jun muttered. "it's the same technique Setsuna Kiryu used against Wakatsuki." Jun accused with Izuku nodding. "Yup the Flashfire sure is a handy move and it's about to get even better." Jun tilted his head but before he could politely ask what he meant Izuku's after images suddenly seemed to multiple to the point that Jun was completely surrounded by flickering images of Izuku.

"What's this?! Izuku Midoriya seemed to have multiplied himself and have completely surrounded Marvelous Seki!" Sayaka gasped at the sight. "Midoriya said the technique was FlashFire and we've already seen it with Setsuna Kiryu. Perhaps this is a more advance version or simply what it looks like a higher form of mastery." Jerry theorized.

Jun was examining the images closely looking for any sign that could lead him to guess which the real one was. 'Damn. My Observation isn't strong enough to tell me where he is exactly.' Ever since he awakened his Haki, Jun focused almost entirly on Armament having trained his Observation just enough to help  him in his wrestling matches.

'A mistake that's come back to haunt me now.' Jun thought as a smile that was a mix of annoyance and embarrassment before shaking his head. 'Okay no time for kicking my own ass, gotta deal with Midoriya first!' He pumped himself off only for several hard blows to slam into his back forcing him to stumble forward slightly only to regain his footing quickly and instantly try and swing in retlation only for his swing to go through his form.

Jun barely had time to blink before he felt something hard impact the left side of his face wit the wrestler throwing another wild swing only to miss entirely before a kick to the face caused him to jerk back as the ring of flickering Izuku's seemed to shrink in on the wrestler.

'Niko Style, Flame Kata: Ring of Fire.' Izuku smirked as he waited for Seki to get up. Ring of Fire was a creation of Izuku's combining the Flashfire of the Niko Style and the Shave of the Six Powers resulting in more after images.

This along with Izuku's boxing resulted in a downpour of jabs, uppercuts, left and right hooks and every other kind of strike upon Seki who tightened his muscles while covering his body in Haki. However much like Seki got through Izuku's defense before Izuku was able to blast through Seki's defense with the man getting covered in more and more blood .

However Marvelous Seki wouldn't go down so easily and even now stood tall. "HA! Pretty good little brat, but if you want to bring down a demon like me than you're going to have to ry harder!" The pro wrestler taunted only to take to a punch directly to the face. Seki tried to give a punch in return only for Izuku duck before jumping slightly in the air and slamming his knee into Jun's chin before grabbing the back of Jun's head and slamming it into his knee.

Jun's legs' buckled and as Izuku fell back to the ground Izuku slammed his elbow into the back of Jun's head.

"Now Muay Tai." Kaolan muttered getting everyone's attention. "And this is at a much higher level than boxing I'd say upper advance with him going into mastery soon enough." He muttered before something flashed through his eyes before he leaned forward.

'I wonder.' He thought as he kept his eyes on the match.

Right before Seki's head slammed into the ground his arm gripped the ground stopping his fall as the wrestler was panting and bleeding but still in the match.

Izuku didn't give him a chance to counter as Izuku's leg slammed into the side of Seki head forcing him back but the man did back on his face before charging forward. Seki went for a reverse back swing punch only for Izuku to raise his arm to block before delivering a jab to the man's face.

Seki countered this by grabbing Izuku's arm and throwing him over his shoulder. Izuku used his free hand to cover his head and caution the blow. Seki tried to stomp down on the boy once he landed which Izuku narrowly avoided.

Hoping back on his feet Izuku went for another Flash as Jun delivered a duel Mongolian Chimp with both fighters landing clear. Izuku gave two more punches to Seki's chest before Elbow Striking Seki in the kidney. The damage this caused on top of everything else to start swaying back and forth giving Izuku the perfect chance to slam his shin into Seki's head causing him to fall flat on his face.

As the crowd was cheering Kaolan nodded. "So I was correct after all." He spoke sounding happy and just a tad bit excited. "And just what were you right about?" Haru asked with the boxing genius leaning back. "His Boxing and Muay Tai. They're almost the exact opposite of mine."  He explained only to get more confused looks. "Without getting to into it, You could say that my fighting style is a Muay Tai style Boxing fighting style while what we're seeing here is a Boxing style Muay Tai fighting style. Same skill sets just used differently." Kaolan exclaimed quickly.

'And one I'm quite eager to face once it's complete.' Kaolan thought a barely noticeable excited smirk on his face thinking about what a match like that could look like.

down in the arena Tashiro was besides the wrestler. "Sekibayashi, can you continue?" He asked wondering if this was were the tournament would end. The wrestler managed to set up and slowly got to his feet. He got out a laugh despite the obvious pain he was in. "Of course I can! What do you take me for?!" He asked as he managed to get to his feet, "Well kid do you got any more tricks up your sleeve or are you ready to put this to bed?!" The wrestler mocked.

A bluff and a poor one to be sure. Everyone in the stadium knew that Marvelous Seki was on his last legs and so did Seki, but ever the entertainer he was damn sure if he was going down than he was going to make sure the audience was given one hell of a show!

"Any more tricks huh?" Izuku muttered with a lazy grin as he spared a glance to his back before giving an amused smile. 'Ah what the hell?' He thought with a shrug before he turned back to Seki. "Yeah I've got a couple tricks left, want to see them?" Izuku questioned with Seki's grin increasing. "Hell yeah! Show me what you've got kid!" Seki challenged as he prepared himself for what ever the boy had in store for them.

Slowly Izuku raised his arms and spread them apart with his palms facing down.

The stance itself was odd enough but as he was doing so everyone could hear the sound of something rip and as his arms raised higher and higher the noise continued until finally after he brought his hands to a rest did the ripping stop and a moment later his shirt now split in two and fall off his torso and on to the floor.

However no one was paying attention to that as their entire focus was focused sorely on Izuku's now exposed back.

Pure silence over took the audience, all either shocked into slience or literally shaking in fear at such a sight. "J-J-Jerry, any thoughts?" Sayaka squeaked only for the man to shake his head in complete and utter silence.

Kazuo was staring opened mouth at the sight while Mirko's foot was bouncing up and down in excitement. "Now that-that is amazing." She smiled her smile wide and her eyes shining nearly as brightly as stars. Jackie kept silent as he continued to watch however in his mind he was more than a little happy.

'Izuku you might be exactly who I've been waiting for.'

As for the fighters most of them were surrounding Cosmo having heard he's known Izuku the longest and questioning him about what he knew. Unfortunately the king of stranglers knew just as much as the rest of them did was now trying to explain that to the rest of them when he was saved by an unlikely source.

"It's called the Demon Face." Gensei Kuroki answered his eyes not leaving the field. It  is a "technique" in which the user very forcefully flexes the back muscles to form the face of a demon. The user becomes many times stronger to their level prior to activation in every aspect, experiencing an increase in physical strength, speed, endurance, stamina, etc. The user can virtually absorb any hit while additionally, the user can dish out massive amounts of damage in return." The Devil Lance explained while most of the other fighters looked on in disbelief.

"How can such a technique exist?!" Nezu squeaked in fear and disbelief only for Julius snorted. "Did you not lesson you little fool? For this technique to work one simply needs to flex their back muscles. Meaning that is the result of increasing your muscles to the fullest rather than some worthless technique." The monster reiterated. 'The only question is how does it work?!' He questioned in his head wanting nothing more than to how to get such a result himself.

Gensei ignore all of this however as he kept his eyes on the match. 'I don't know what you did to this young man but for him to achieve the Demon Face at such a young age is incredible Yuuichiro, you did a marvelous job in training him.'

Similar thoughts were going through Erioh Kure's head as just finished explaining about it to the rest of his family. "That's incredible! I knew you were incredible Izuku!" Karla gushed towards the monitor they were watching on. Erioh himself let out a defeated sigh. "Yes he really is?" He muttered almost like he was forcing the words out. "So does that mean you've accepted him Grandfather?" Hollis asked and Erioh looking close to tears answered. Karla has already accepted him so how could I not?!" He cried getting sweat drops from the other 3 male Kure.

Back in the arena Seki was twitching, it wasn't from the pain, the blood loss or his body trying to shut down. No this was from excitement. "A demon vs a demon, I couldn't think of any better way to end this fight!" Seki said while clenching his fist. Izuku just smiled. "Then let's see what you've got." Izuku said and Seki was more than happy to obliged charged forward and threw a punch directly into Izuku's face.

The boy didn't even budge as the fist connected causing Seki to blink before throwing another only for the same thing to happen. Growing annoyed Seki attempted every move he could. Punches, chops even a few kicks but none even seemed to leave a mark.

Seki was panting in exhaustion his fatigue having finally caught on with him and it looked like he could barely keep on his feet. "What's wrong demon, I thought the Marvelous Seki would last longer." Izuku taunted getting a laugh from Seki. "Well kid what can I say even us demons have our limits." He reminded the young man who chuckled as he appraoched and placed held his fists against the taller man's chest. "That's fair." He agreed before grinning at the demon. "Well it's been fun." He told the wrestler who nodded his arms lowered at his side, having lost the strength to raise them. "Wouldn't trade it for anything." Seki agreed with a matching grin.

With nothing else to do Izuku preformed his final Six King's Gun, the force more than enough to dry Seki into unconsciousness and slammed into the ground with a resounding thud.

There was no movement in the audience as if they were afraid to move as Tashiro looked over Sekibayashi and after he was sure took a deep breathe. "MATCH OVER!" The mustached man roared and that seemed to be the spark that reignited the fire inside each of the audience member as the stadium erupted into cheers, applause and so much noise the entire stadium began to shake.

"WINNER, IZUKU MIDORIYA!" 

"IT'S OVER EVERYONE! THE KENGAN ANNIHILATION TOURNAMENT HAS COME TO AN END! AFTER 31 MATCHES WE'VE FINALLY HAVE OUR CHAMPION, AND IT'S NONE OTHER OTHEN THE ASHURA, IZUKU MIDORIYA!" Sayaka screamed her lungs out as the crowd increased their cheers for the now young champion.

"Awesome work Izuku! I knew you could do it! Cosmo shouted a full blown megawatt smile on his face.

"Never doubted you for a second buddy!" Lahito laughed along with Okubo.

Agito just gave a smirk. 'Izuku Midoriya. A force that came out of no where and took the throne for himself.' He thought before a brief moment his face became demented. 'Don't you dare lose until I've had my chance at revenge.' He mentally threated the only one to ever best him.

Gensei didn't say a word and only got up to leave. His business here was done and he had no reason to stick around. Adam noticed this and was quick to follow. "Leaving already boss?" He asked getting a nod from the Kaiwan master. However just as they left the arena his phone went off. Thinking nothing of it the Devil Lance took it out only to see he had a message and from Muteba of all people.

Found something I think you'd be interested in.

The message was accompanied by an image and once it registered what the picture was Kuroki's eyes widened in a rare show of anger as his Haki leaked out for a split second before reeling it back in. Adam was understandable shocked by this. "Hey old man what's the-?" Gensei cut him off by placing his hand over his mouth before showing Adam the picture. The American's eyes widened in shock in rage but managed to calm himself down enough for Gensei to release him.

"I'm going with you." Adam growled not willing to compromise on this. Gensei to his surprise nodded as he sent a one worded response to the mercenary.

Where?

The answer was sent a few seconds later and soon the two men were on their way each with a sense of anger building deep within them.

Line break.

Izuku excited the arena and cheering fans only to be meet with the smiling faces of the three he had entered with. "Now that was an amazing match kid, one for the books." Mirko gave a thumbs up with a mad grin.

"Yeah honestly some of those moves are kinda scary." Jackie admitted though by his tone it was hard to tell if he was serious or simply joking. "It really was incredible Izuku, Mr.Nogi's plan actually worked." Kazuo muttered a large and relived smile on his face. "Yup now all you have to do is name Nogi as the chairman right?" Izuku asked getting a nod from Mr. Yamashita. "Yes there will be a ceremony tomorrow and that's where I will officially name him as the chairman." Kazuo explained.

"Yup but tonight it's simply a time to party. Food, drinks, women, men,  anything anyone could want will be there." Mirko promised having been told this by some of Mestudo's bodyguards that she was friends with.

"Sounds great." Jackie beamed before clicking his teeth and adopting an annoyed look on his face. "Too bad I've got to get going." He whined. "You're leaving already Jackie?" Kazuo questioned sad to see his new friend who nodded sadly. "Yeah I promised Yan that I'd leave as soon as the matches were over and trust me you don't want to deal with an annoyed Yan." He spoke as if the whole thing was the most annoying thing in the world to deal with.

Kazuo nodded having dealt with people like that his whole life. "Well than it was great to meet you." He told the younger man who smiled. "Yeah it was fun chatting with you to Kazuo." Mirko and Izuku both gave each other dye glances before turning back to the two. "You guys remember cell phones area thing right and you two can probably meet up one way or another." Izuku told them. Both men blinked before punching their fist into their palms. "Oh yeah." Both exclaimed causing Mirko to groan as she slapped her forehead.

"Idiots."

From within his base Hisashi raised a glass in honor of his sun. "Spectacular Izuku I couldn't have done it better my self!" He laughed his eyes and tone filled with respect and love for his son, eagerly waiting for his son to call and deliver the good news.

Elsewhere in a darkened room, a figure stood up from where he was watching headed for the door. "Well guess it's time to go see my boys." He muttered with a grin.

Line break.

The party that night was one one would forget. Food and music from all over the world was present as world leaders, higher ups in the business world and fighters from all over were mixing and mingling as they enjoyed themselves and celebrated such a successful and massive tournament.

Kazuo himself had been approached by dozens of people and group already either to congratulate him on his victory or to talk to him about his Kengan Mercenary company he's planning. 'Guess Mr.Katahara was serious about spreading the word.' Kazuo thought laughing sheepishly at the thought only to blink went he noticed a bodyguard approach him. "Apologies sir but Master Katahara has requested a meeting with the participants of the tournament." He told the CEO who blinked.

"That's odd, I could have sworn I just saw him a few minutes ago. Did he sat what it was about?" Kazuo asked but the bodyguard just shook his head. "Apologies sir but we don't know anything more than you do." He admitted before turning. "Now if you'll please follow me." The bodyguard requested. "Yes of corse." Kazuo agreed and was quick to follow.

Less then 10 minutes later the 31 of the participating CEOs had gathered in the same room where the lots were drawn along with Crust and Mirko. The only missing was Hayami. "Alright sir we're all here, why have you gathered us here?" Akira asked with Metsudo laughing as he stood not only with many of his bodyguards next to Erioh who were there along with Hollis, Horio and Reiichi. "Oh I figured everyone here would simply want some entertainment." He explained before turning to the door. "Alright Katsumasa come on in." He invited and before the other CEO's could even blink Katsumasa Hayami entered along with dozens of his guardians.

"Well Mestudo it seems your ahead of the game as usual but I will admit it gathering everyone here does make it easier. Hell you even gathered up those worthless fools I hired." He muttered glancing towards Ajiro Korinmaru and Yoroizuka Sanemitsu who were barely containing their anger.

Easily ignoring this Metsudo continued on. "So why don't we move things along so we can get back to the real fun of the evening, so go ahead and explain your big plans for your little rebellion. So what's your big play? The guardians that are now covering the island, along with the hired villains, mercenaries and assassins, or perhaps the multitude of bombs  you have planted over the island? Come on don't be shy give us your speech." Through out the entire speech the other CEO's were getting more and more nervous and that didn't change when Hayami started to chuckle. "So you know about those little details tell me have you already dealt with him?" He asked as if speaking of an old joke they share.

"The bombs are disabled. And over 50 elite members of the Kure clan are nearly hero ready and willing to tear your guardians apart." Erioh explained his eyes narrowing slightly at how calm Hayami was acting glancing towards the bodyguards as well as Crust and Mirko. The 2 heroes were tense and ready to spin into action but their years of experience in the Kengan Association kept them grounded until they were certain all the enemy's cards had been revealed.

Haiyami sighed as he reached into coat pocket as he brought out a remote. "Well it can't be helped I guess." He said before holding up his remote. "Just know it pains me to have to resort to this." He said as he pushed a button on the remote causing the TVs to turn on.

It took exactly 3 seconds for what they were seeing to fully process in their minds and when it did. The room was filled with roars and screams. Rage, terror, threats and pleas covered the room as the tv's showed dozens if not hundreds of people bound, gagged and blindfolded, quirk suppressers on all of them surrounded by armed guardians all ready to strike if given the signal

"MOMO!" Juzo screamed at the top of his lungs seeing his beloved niece restrained and terrified if her shaking was any indicaiton. The man nearly busting a blood vessel when he saw one of the guardians place the tip of his machete at inches from her throat.

"Iida." Gen muttered under his breathe but it was clear he was furious indicated by his twitching hand with a shaped in half cigar near his feet as he watched the boy's mouth and arms jerked around no doubt trying to speak and move his arms in his usual manner despite the restraints on his body.

"Fumikage." Hiyama whispered to herself, voice sounding dead as she watched an avian headed teen struggling as he tried to remove his quirk surpresseors off only to be thrown to the ground with a guardian now pointing a loaded gun at him.

"IRA!" Crust cried seeing the large teen standing on his feet as the guardians tried to pull him back to the ground before being shaken off and rushing forward in a random direction. The buy didn't get far however as Ira was than hit with close to a dozen tasers that brought him to the ground before 4 guardians rushed over to the teen and proceeded to stomp all over him.

"Minoru." Forum whispered seeing a boy with purple spheres on his head quivering in fear as tears flowed from his covered eyes. Next to him was a girl with flowing red hair and she seemed to be shaking too but it was clear that it was rage and hatred radiating of her. "Erza." Rikiya growled his birth marks on his forehead growing rapidly until it soon covered his entire face.

Yoshiko Togawa's hands were covering her mouth with her hands as she kept her eyes trained on a girl with purple hair and ears that had jacks growing out of them.

Atami Hisahi was gripping his monocle so hard the glass shattered but he paid little attention to that as he kept his gaze on a large teenage boy with sliver hair and multiple arms and he seemed  to bending down and trying to comfort small child, 'Mezo.' He thought head bowed in shame. 'I'm so sorry, I got you involved in this.'

"Eijro, Mom, Pops." Togo snarled under her breathe as she saw a boy with red hair trembling slightly while next to him the woman was fighting tooth and nail to get free no doubt screaming death threats underneath her gag while next to him a rather heavy set man sat tensely on the ground ready to defend his family the best he could at a moment's notice.

Kirimi  eyes settled on a teenager girl with orange hair tied in a pony tail. The CEO took a deep breathe through his nose to try and keep himself calm. 'Don't worry Itsuki, Papa won't let anything happened to you.' He mentally promised.

Kazuo mouth was hanging open in seer terror as he kept his eyes locked onto the monitor that was showing his two sons once more in danger.

Finally Mestsudo kept quiet as his. eyes lingered on the form of his beloved daughter. 'I thought it was strange I hadn't heard from her these past few hours.' He thought before turning his attention back to Hayami.

"What is your end game Hayami? Surely you know that you won't be able to get away with this, much less become the chairman of Kengan Association. No one will accept you know, hell it's likely you'll never leave the island after this stunt." The chairman questioned with many of the CEO's nodding, wanting nothing more than the man's head on a pike.

"The chairman position? You naive fool by the time I leave this island I will be the most powerful man in Japan if not the entire world with all of you acting as my loyal little dogs helping me run this county." He demanded along with a glance towards Mirko and Crust. "Along with two heroes as my personal hitmen." He chuckled.

"AND WHY THE HELL  WOULD WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!" Juzo demanded with many of the hot-blooded among the ground shouting out similar. "You're just a conceited and washed up old fool." Nogi muttered looking at the man in disgust and disappoint. "Even if we were to agree how could you possibly make sure no one stabs you in the back?" He questioned.

Hayami just chuckled as he let up a cigar. "Why with my quirk of course." He admitted. This caused many of the older members to freeze slightly. "Hayamai, for as long as I known you I've never heard that you have a quirk. Your records even show that you're qurikless." Mestsudo accused.

Hayami simply raised his hand and before everyone's eyes, a small transparent snake appeared wrapped around his arm. "This is my quirk. I call it Contract. With it any deal I make is binding and making breaking it always results in dire consequences, and not just for the one who broke the contract." He chuckled as the screens zoomed in as it showed an ouroboros mark on several of his hostages.

The screens changed and it showed that most of  the fighters and bodyguards  were busy dealing with guardians "Hope of rescue is foolish and according to you Erioh, your family hasn't yet arrived so no help there,: He mocked causing Erioh to shake in rage. "And even if help does arrive there's no guarantee that a hostage won't be killed or worse." He smirked over to Crust who was trembling in rage with Mirko looking like she was about to start screwing fire.

"So what we'll it be ladies and gentlemen? Will you allow your loved ones to suffer so you can keep your pride and positions?" He asked before extending his hand towards Metsudo. "Our do any of you want to make a deal?" He laughed in victory while Mestudo remained silent, his eyes fixated on the monitors while his eyes glowed a neon green.

Line break.

"What the hell is going on?" Izuku muttered punching a guardian so hard it sent him crashing into another guardian before the two went barreling through a wall. With her were Agito Kanoh and Setsuna Kiryu. "These are Hayami Katsumasa's forces. He's behind this attack." The 5th gang spat in disgust as he ruthlessly shattered a guardian's spine with a kick.

"Unoriginal and quite lacking in flare. Sloppy work at best." He uttered wrapped in bandages while using Rakshasa's Palm to snap the neck of one of the guardians. He had started tracking Izuku down the moment he awoke and found him and Agito looking to get away from the crowds for a bit. Setsuna was about to start one of his insane ramblings when the guardians began their attack.

Izuku grunted before delivering one last Finger Pistol to finish off the final guardian. "Alright, time to move on." Izuku told his two allies after using the Bind-Bind Fruit to make sure the guardians were locked up tight.

The two nodded but before they could take a single step clapping could be heard. "Now that was. impressive boys." A man's voice laughed with both Setsuna and Agito freezing. 'That voice.' Agito thought as a dark scowl covered his face. 'It's him.' A disgusted sneer covered Setsuna's face.

"What's with those looks boys? Aren't you happy to see me? After all." He laughed as he finally entered the trio's line of sight.

"I'm the one who made the two of you who you are.: The man laughed which only seemed to make the two angrier. Agito looked close to going feral and it was only thanks to his years of training and self discipline that he was able to control himself as he gritted out his next few words.

"Why are you here?" He questioned before continuing as he he spat out the next two words in disgust.

"Niko Tokita?"

To Be Continued.

And with this we are finally able done with the annihilation tournament with one last chapter to bring the first act to a close. Now on to the fights themselves, I'm sorry if they were lack luster but I'm just ready to move onto the next few arts. I mean really we're at least 3 arcs away from even getting to UA and they could very well change. Also apologies for not giving a final Wakatsuki fight but I thought it would be more fitting for him to be removed due to all the reckless actions in the tournament. Still I hope the fights were at least somewhat enjoyable.

Moving on, I hope everyone enjoyed the surprise of Jackie Lee's early introduction and how I wrote him. As for his quirk I felt it was perfect considering it would make him one of the most powerful forces in this story like he is in Kengan Omega.

Next Hayami's big plan was relived and looking to be actually be quite a threat. And yes many of the characters will have connections to the kengan verse as I felt it would be interested to bring in some characters early.

Finally we see Izuku, Agito and Setsuna coming face to face with Niko Tokita or the other Niko and if you think it's gong to be an east fight, well just wait and see."

Now I'm not sure how many of you are aware of this but I have decided to make this the prequel to my Ragnarok rewrite which I will start when ROR and One Piece are both complete. So many of the things that don't seem to be going anywhere here will be set ups for the plot in Ragnarok and it's sequel

Finally I don't know when my next update is going to be. I've got some big changes coming on in my life and it's eating up a lot of my time. SO for now this will be my final update. My plan when I come back is to finish this arc up before covering the first part of the next arc in Devil Fruit Overlord before going back in forth between those two stories.

That's it for now.

Till next time,

Bye.
