Dragon ball:cosmic fighter group one-piece

"In all these years, I haven't taught you kung fu properly..."

Zhu Wushi, the Marquis of Iron Courage, stood at the top of the grand stone steps, gazing coldly down at the three men before him—Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Dao Shou, and Cheng Shifei—his former subordinates, adopted sons, and most trusted agents.

"...Let me see how far you've come today."

His voice was cold and unwavering, filled with disdain.

The three men looked at one another. Duan Tianya finally stepped forward and replied, "Very well. We humbly ask Lord God Hou for his instruction."

He no longer addressed Zhu Wushi as "Adoptive Father." That relationship had been severed, their loyalties diverging. Now, he called him plainly—God Hou, the Marquis.

Zhu Wushi's lips curled into a cold smile. Without another word, he suddenly leapt into the air, raising one hand and slashing down with immense force, initiating a fierce battle between the former master and his three protégés.

Although the three agents were renowned across the martial world for their abilities, Zhu Wushi had undergone a frightening transformation. Over time, he had absorbed the martial arts of many powerful warriors, gaining exponential increases in strength.

Despite being outnumbered, Zhu Wushi dominated the fight.

With tremendous power and fluid precision, he knocked the three of them out of the hall. They tumbled across the courtyard, injured and breathless, as Zhu Wushi landed atop a massive stone statue of a dragon.

Arms crossed and expression regal, he declared in a thunderous voice:

> "I am the true Son of Heaven!

Those who obey me shall live—those who oppose me shall die!"

He looked down at his former disciples. "Kneel, and I will spare your lives."

But Duan Tianya and the others didn't yield.

With renewed determination, they launched themselves back at him—but it was hopeless. No matter how fiercely they attacked, Zhu Wushi effortlessly repelled them and knocked them down again and again.

Then, in a horrifying display of power, Zhu Wushi stretched out one hand toward the mountain behind him—Feihulong Villa.

With the other hand still keeping the three agents suppressed, Zhu Wushi began to pull the entire villa toward them, preparing to crush them beneath it.

Duan Tianya, Cheng Shifei, and Gui Hai Dao Shou looked up in horror as the villa was slowly torn from its foundation, groaning under the immense spiritual force dragging it from the earth.

Their expressions paled.

This was no longer martial arts—it was something else entirely. Something godlike.

A Voice in Desperation

As the three lay wounded and cornered, a voice suddenly echoed in Cheng Shifei's ear.

> "You are in danger. Do you require a thug to assist you in resolving this crisis?"

The voice was calm and mysterious.

Startled, Cheng Shifei glanced around. The voice had come out of nowhere—but its words were clear.

It was offering help.

Desperate and without other options, Cheng Shifei didn't hesitate.

"Yes! I need help!" he shouted into the air. "Someone—anyone—please stop Zhu Wushi!"

If the villa fell, they would all be crushed. Even if they survived, Zhu Wushi's power would only grow more monstrous.

> "Understood. Task has been generated. Support will arrive shortly."

Mission Notice: Help Requested!

> Ding! A new thug mission has been generated!

> Mission: Help Cheng Shifei and his comrades defeat Zhu Wushi, the Iron Courage Marquis.

Jack: "@Everyone — New mission detected. Get ready to grab it!"

Champa: "Finally! A mission! Lord Jack, hurry up and send it out—I've been itching to fight!"

Beerus: "You? Don't forget there are twenty members now. Your odds of grabbing the mission are as low as your IQ."

Champa: "Tch! Like you're not trying to grab it yourself!"

Beerus: "Of course I am! I'm not about to let you hog the spotlight."

Jack: "Alright, sending the mission out now. Good luck to whoever grabs it."

> Ding! Congratulations! Thug No. 17 has grabbed the mission!

Beerus: "Ha! It's one of mine! @Champa, see that? No. 17 is from Universe 7! What do you have to say now?"

Champa: "Pfft. You've got more members in Universe 7 than I do in Universe 6! Of course, your chances are higher."

Beerus: "Careful with your words. Are you blaming Lord Jack for not inviting enough people from your universe?"

Champa: "No! Not at all! @Group Leader Jack, I didn't mean it like that!"

Jack: "Relax. The mission's been assigned. No. 17, proceed."

Arrival of No. 17

With anticipation burning in his chest, No. 17 stepped into the swirling portal of light.

The moment he emerged in the new world, he saw it—Feihulong Villa, an entire mountain estate, hurtling through the air toward the wounded agents.

Zhu Wushi stood atop the collapsing mountain, his robes fluttering, his face stern. His power now resembled that of a deity.

Without hesitation, No. 17 surged forward.

With a single leap, he appeared in front of the three agents—and unleashed a devastating kick!

> BOOM!

The entire villa was sent flying into the sky like a ragdoll!

The air rippled with shockwaves.

And before it could fall back down and cause more destruction, No. 17 raised a single hand and formed a glowing energy sphere.

He launched it straight up.

> KABOOM!

The villa was instantly obliterated—reduced to nothing but glittering ash and smoke.

A Turning Tide

Zhu Wushi froze in mid-air, visibly stunned.

Someone had just kicked an entire mountain estate into the air—and destroyed it with a casual energy blast.

Even with all the powers he had absorbed, he had never seen anything like this.

Who was this newcomer?

On the ground, the three agents—Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Dao Shou, and Cheng Shifei—stared up in awe.

Dust swirled around them as No. 17 slowly turned to face them, his expression calm and confident.

"You… you're the one who came to help us?" Cheng Shifei asked in disbelief.

He had shouted out a plea in desperation—never really expecting an answer. Yet here this person stood, having just saved their lives in a way that defied explanation.

Gui Hai Dao Shou and Duan Tianya exchanged glances, still trying to process what they had just witnessed.

Cheng Shifei continued, "Your strength... it's unlike anything we've ever seen. You must be even stronger than Zhu Wushi!"

The Power of the Thug Group

Back in the Thug Group Chat, members erupted with excitement.

Beerus: "@No. 17, that was incredible! What a kick!"

Goku: "I wish I got that mission! That looked fun!"

Whis: "His performance was efficient and precise. A true professional."

Jack: "@No. 17, well done. Complete the mission by suppressing Zhu Wushi. But don't kill him unless necessary."

No. 17: "Understood."

---

Zhu Wushi's Confusion

Zhu Wushi narrowed his eyes at the strange warrior standing between him and his prey.

"Who are you?" he asked, voice laced with suspicion.

No. 17 didn't answer right away. Instead, he raised a hand and cracked his knuckles.

"Someone hired to stop you."

---

As Zhu Wushi prepared to retaliate, No. 17 calmly got into stance.

The battle between man and monster, between a martial emperor and a cosmic thug, was just beginning...

And the world was about to witness power beyond anything it had ever known.
