Nipplaggeddon: Capturing the first battle

As Haruto watched the young kid, he noticed the stress on Saitama's face. He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's going on? Why do you seem so agitated?"

Saitama, still visibly anxious, replied, "I think that kid over there is the one who drew nipples on Crablante's chest."

Haruto couldn't help but chuckle, as he was already aware of this peculiar incident and had been eagerly waiting for the day when Crablante would finally track down the nipple artist. It was like a ticking time bomb, and Haruto knew it was going to be explosive.

Meanwhile, Saitama caught sight of Crablante in the distance and urgently signaled Haruto to take action. Haruto didn't waste a second and quickly activated his time-freezing ability, setting up cameras to capture the impending battle. This was Saitama's first real fight, and Haruto wanted to make sure every moment was documented.

As Haruto approached Crablante, he didn't take the typical approach of telling the monster to leave. Instead, he comically yelled, "DoN't Go tHaT wAy! tHeRe'S a cLeFt-cHiNnEd KiD oVeR tHeRe! AHhH!"

In a fit of anger, Crablante lunged at Haruto, tossing him high into the air. Haruto had prepared for this, though, and was ready for the ride. Crablante moved forward, believing Haruto was incapacitated, Haruto observed from a safe distance.

Haruto had been well aware of the situation and was eagerly awaiting the inevitable confrontation between Crablante and the mischievous artist. All while lying on the ground,

He said, "Action."

In the meantime, on Saitama's side:

Kid: "What are you looking at, old man?"

Saitama: "Do you do anything to tick off a crab monster?"

Kid: "Huh? Oh, that guy? He was asleep in the park, so I drew nipples on him with a marker."

Saitama, realizing this was indeed the culprit, pondered his next move. He thought to himself,

"It's him, alright. He still doesn't know what he's done. What should I do? There's no time to hide him...but he isn't cute at all...and it's none of my business. Should I just walk away?"

Kid: "Huh?"

Saitama paused for a moment, then thought, "Yeah, I mean, who cares? Heh..."

But suddenly, he felt a surge of killing intent as A crab-like hand descended toward the kid from behind. Without a second thought, Saitama leaped into action, using his explosive power and reflexes to grab the kid and jump out of harm's way.

In mid-air, Saitama saw Haruto on the ground with a blood mountain on his forehead

"Whaa...?"

It was all Haruto's plan.

Safely landing, he urgently told the kid, "He's after you! Run!"

Kid: "B...but..."

Saitama: Don't worry about me, Just go!!

Kid: "But my soccer ball-"

Saitama, growing frustrated: "Your ball? Just get moving, or I will kill you!"

Meanwhile, Crablante was annoyed that his attack on the kid had been missed.

Crablante: "What's the big idea? Are you gonna try to save that kid?"

Saitama: "Come on, you don't want to commit murder over a childish prank, do you? Think about it."

Crablante: "Gurgle! I have already diced up several people! No one makes fun of my appearance! Glorgle!"

Crablante, showing the crude drawing on his chest: "That brat drew nipples on me with a bloody permanent marker! With these claws, I can't even wipe it off with a towel. I can't let him get away with it! If you interfere, I will make sure you never find a job again!"

At that moment, Saitama remembered Haruto's words: "Life is full of surprises, and you never know what's around the corner. Who knows, maybe something amazing is waiting for you just beyond the horizon."

Saitama couldn't help but burst into laughter, even as Crablante looked on with confusion.

"Heh heh..."

"huh?"

"Heh heh heh heh heh... aaaaah hah hah ha hah hah hah!"

Crablante: "What's so funny?"

Saitama, tears in his eyes: "Hah, I just remembered. You look like the villain in an anime I used to watch!"

Wooosh! Thump!

"Gah!"

Crablante attacked Saitama, sending him flying. Crablante then moved toward the kid with a murderous intent.

Klonke!!

Saitama threw a rock at Crablante's face to get his attention. Saitama, removing his coat and loosening his tie, declared all while hard breathing, "Wait a second. With the birthrate so low, I can't let you kill that kid. And I remembered something else. I wanted to be a hero when I was little. Not a hero who sends shameless villains like you flying... with one punch."

With determination and spirit, Saitama shouted, "I don't care about finding a job! BRING-IT-ON!"

Unworried by Saitama's words, Crablante attacked him.

"Some hero you are! You-don't-stand-a-chance! Gurgleblorgle!"

Saitama, thinking it over, put his tie around Crablante's eye and pulled it with incredible force, causing Crablante to scream in agony.

"Gurgleeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggh!"

Blood sprayed everywhere as Crablante's internal organs were yanked out with a single pull.

As Saitama stood exhausted and gasping for breath, looking up at the sky, he muttered, "Haruto, you were right. Life is full of mysteries."

With that, Saitama began to collapse, but mid-fall, Haruto swooped in to catch him.

"Cut."

"Sorry Saitama, I couldn't help you."

Haruto looked concerned and said, "Oh, oh. I should get you to the hospital."

Before leaving the scene, Haruto called the police to report the situation, ensuring that the child was taken care of and safely reunited with their parents. He also made sure to file a complaint about the kid drawing nipples on random people's chests.
