chapter 105: Justice for Sonic
To be honest, Sonic wasn't overly sensitive about whether he was male or female; after all, in his eyes, as long as one could become a good Ninja, either gender was fine.
But having been a boy for so many years, Sonic and his 'little brother' had known each other since birth. Now, a sudden tragedy had struck—his brother was suddenly dead.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!"
For a moment, panicked screams filled the cell. Sonic had never felt such humiliation, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot.
Where is my brother! I can't feel his existence anymore! No!!
What made Sonic break down was that if he had simply turned from a man into a woman, he might have been able to barely accept it.
But the problem was that now, Sonic had not only lost his dignity as a man but also lacked the symbols of a woman. He was now a freak who was neither male nor female.
Seeing his long-cherished sweetheart in such pain, a flash of heartache crossed Puri-Puri Prisoner's eyes, which were filled with tenderness, and he strode forward.
By the time the grieving Sonic reacted, it was too late; an incredibly thick masculine aura rushed toward him.
In an instant, Sonic felt as if his face had been hit head-on by countless steel needles. A strong sense of compression came from his entire body, and the tough chest hair pricked his face, making him almost suffocate.
Puri-Puri Prisoner spoke, his tone filled with heartache and pity:
"It's okay, honey... Although your current form is no longer my preferred target, I will still love you. I won't let you feel cold-hearted, after all, my love for every little sweetheart is deep."
Hearing these words, Sonic, who was already somewhat suffocated by Puri-Puri Prisoner's intense hug, suddenly felt a surge of anger rush to his heart.
Who the hell wants your love! You damn muscular freak! Let go of me now! Why am I suffering this level of ultimate humiliation?!
But these words could only be thought in his heart, because now even Sonic's mouth was blocked. His entire person was buried in powerful pectoral muscles, making it impossible to breathe.
This intense hug lasted for over two minutes. During this time, Puri-Puri Prisoner continuously expounded on his philosophy of love while never stopping to express his deep love for his little sweethearts.
"Phew~ Finally finished. Now, little sweetheart, you know how passionate my love for you is, right? Eh?! Little sweetheart, what's wrong with you!"
Puri-Puri Prisoner released his arms and looked in panic at Sonic, who had already rolled his eyes back and was foaming at the mouth.
"Oh no! It's all my fault for being too moved. I actually forgot that you couldn't breathe in my Angel Hug, honey. I must make up for my mistake!"
Puri-Puri Prisoner carefully laid the unconscious Sonic flat on the cold, damp cell floor, then leaned down, his sturdy muscles twitching with his movements.
"Muah~~~"
(T/N: Kyaaaaa—cough—I mean, noooo!)
Puri-Puri Prisoner puckered his thick, sexy lips, and his stubbly chin drew closer and closer to Sonic's fair and handsome face.
That's right, the remedy he spoke of was to use his love-filled artificial respiration to wake up the unconscious little sweetheart.
At the moment they were about to touch, Sonic seemed to sense some kind of danger. He frowned and then opened his eyes in confusion.
The moment he opened his eyes, what came into view was a pair of large, sexy red lips that occupied almost his entire field of vision.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!! Don't come near me!!"
Having just woken up, Sonic's mental state collapsed once again.
At this moment, Sonic not only felt an intense loathing for the muscular gay man Puri-Puri Prisoner in front of him, but even more so for the Bald Demon King Saitama and King.
The former had brought him an unprecedented level of extreme humiliation, while the latter two were even more wicked, having directly revoked his 'male license'.
Fuck!
Watching Puri-Puri Prisoner get closer and closer, endless despair flashed in Sonic's eyes as the painful experiences of the recent past resurfaced in his heart.
"Gwah! Don't come near me! You damn gay guy!!"
"Oh~ You're even flirting by talking tough? You really understand me~ As expected of a little sweetheart~"
(T/N: Seriously, author-sama is so ruthless to Sonic.)
...Three days later.
City Z remained prosperous and bustling. Even though it was one of the cities with the highest frequency of Monster appearances, people didn't feel much fear.
This was simply because two highly popular S-Class Heroes were stationed in this city.
In the eyes of the public, no matter how powerful a Monster descended upon this city, it would be easily dealt with by the two of them.
S-Class Rank 5, known as the strongest man on the surface of the earth, King, possessed countless legendary battle records to date and was even hailed as the hidden S-Class Rank 1.
S-Class Rank 10, One-Punch Man, the fastest-promoted S-Class Hero since the founding of the Hero Association. It was said that he killed any enemy he encountered in a single punch, and his signature bald head was sought after by countless people.
It was worth mentioning that after the recent Boros invasion incident, the Hero Association had witnessed Saitama's powerful strength in killing Melzargard's Clones with one punch and decided to raise his ranking once again.
As for why King's ranking didn't change much, only moving up by one spot, the reason was also very simple.
The high-level executives of the Hero Association believed that King had defeated the leader of the alien warship during this invasion incident.
And his own popularity was already nearly number one in the Hero Association, with only a slight gap from the top-ranked Sweet Mask, making him a national idol of society.
The titles of the top four S-Class ranks were no longer just symbols of pure strength, but also connections to certain interests.
The S-Class Rank 1, Blast, remained unshakable to this day. In fact, even most of the high-level executives didn't know why a hero who had been missing for two years was placed in first place.
S-Class Rank 2, Tatsumaki, was the best model worker since the founding of the Hero Association. She was busy every day dealing with various powerful Monster disasters and had the highest appearance rate among the public. For this spirit of hard work and for killing so many Monsters, her ranking as S-Class Rank 2 was well-deserved.
s-class rank 3, Bang, was somewhat special, not just because of his powerful strength and excellent battle record, but also because Bang was a Martial Arts Grandmaster renowned throughout the entire martial arts world. He alone represented the support of the martial arts community.
S-Class Rank 4, Atomic Samurai, as a premier master swordsman, his powerful strength was certainly part of his fourth-place ranking, and he represented the Council of Swordmasters behind him.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Hero Association's high-level executives, based solely on his contribution this time and the powerful strength King displayed, there was no problem with him being ranked fifth.
After all, from the beginning, the Hero Association's rankings were not based on pure strength, but were determined by various factors such as contribution, popularity, and strength...
