Chapter 480 The man who likes being beaten by Ogata[7800 words]
At this point, Ogata, who had defeated four people in a row, finally gained the attention of everyone present.
Many people looked at Ogata who transformed into "One Punch Man" with shock on their faces. A few people were even so shocked that they frequently let out various exclamations:
"Hey, that Japanese is so strong! He has defeated 4 people already! (Lucia)"
"It seems to me that he doesn't know any boxing skills, he just throws ordinary punches! (Lucia)"
"Look at the wounds all over his body. Could he be a member of the Japanese army? (Lucia)"
"It doesn't matter! We have Sania! Sania should be able to deal with that Japanese!"
…
The "shirtless camp" to which Ogata belongs, because of Ogata's existence, the scale of victory is greatly tilted towards Ogata and his side.
Although they are at a disadvantage, the people in the "clothed camp" on the opposite side have not yet been defeated, and they are still supporting them tenaciously.
The two Lucians, who had just eliminated their opponents, rushed towards Ogata almost at the same time.
These two people are about the same height as Ogata, but the muscles on their bodies are much stronger than Ogata's. Their bodies are all big and hard muscles.
Ogata's figure is "lean" and not a "big guy" whose arms are bigger than a baby's head.
These two people, one on the left and one on the right, launched a pincer attack on Ogata.
Although Ogata didn't understand boxing, he could still instinctively feel from the movements of these two people that they should have learned some corresponding skills.
The footwork is very good, and the close body is very good. When punching, he does not just use the power of his arms, but he knows how to use the power of the whole body, and he also uses the power of the whole body very well.
However, their techniques are of no use.
Their skills are not enough to make up for the physical difference between them and Ogata.
In a hand-to-hand combat with fists and fists, if you are physically weaker than others, it will be a very desperate thing.
Therefore, there is an old saying in China that goes very well. If you practice martial arts but do not practice kungfu, you will be in vain when you get old.
No matter how well you practice various skills, if your strength, speed and other qualities are insufficient, even if you hit the opponent, you may not be able to hurt others.
Faced with the flanking attack by these two men, Ogata did two things and quickly retreated a few steps to avoid the fists swung by the two men from different directions.
Then he stepped forward again, narrowed the distance between them, and punched two people in succession at a speed that was so fast that afterimages were left behind, hitting the chests and faces of the two people.
The two people only felt the pain from the place where Ogata's fist hit them, which was almost enough to make them faint.
After holding on to the hit area for a while, he finally fell to the ground like the previous "seniors" who fought with Ogata.
Ogata didn't take a second look at the two people he had defeated. After knocking these two people down, he immediately went to find new opponents.
…
…
Ogata concentrated on dealing with all the people wearing single clothes.
Ogata moved around, constantly changing his position.
The current highest record is a short man whose body is full of tendons. He took 3 punches from Ogata before he fell.
Most of the people were knocked down one by one by Ogata's punches.
Until now, no one has even been able to meet Ogata...
"Sagna! Sanya! (Lucian)" A young man with dull blond hair shouted urgently towards a strong man with a shiny bald head not far away.
The strong man whom the young man called "Saniya" just knocked down the opponent in front of him.
After the young man's words fell, he turned his head following the sound.
"Sania! Go deal with that Japanese! (Lucia)" said the blond young man, "That Japanese has already killed 8 of us! If we don't kill the Japanese, we will lose! (Lucia)
language)"
Sania glanced at Ogata not far away.
He did not answer the blond young man.
He only showed a smile full of joy, and then answered the blond young man with his movements. He rushed towards Ogata like a brown bear charging at its prey.
…
…
Ogata heard a series of footsteps approaching him quickly.
Looking around, he saw a bald head.
A big man with a shiny bald head was rushing towards him.
There were no muscles visible on this strong man's body, only patches of fat. His fat belly looked like a pregnant woman with a baby.
Although this strong man has no hair on his head, his chin, chest, and abdomen have quite dense hair, so dense that it makes people feel sick.
Ogata, who didn't understand boxing, casually assumed a stance with his right hand in front and his left hand behind, standing sideways.
Although he cannot use a sword, the various abilities he has cultivated through years of fighting with a sword can still come in handy in a fist fight.
For example, the ability to calculate the distance between ourselves and the enemy.
The moment the bald head rushed into his attack range, Ouri immediately punched the bald head in his huge belly.
Ogata didn't expect that the bald man didn't have any defense or dodge.
Instead, he waved his right arm, shook his right fist, and threw his fist hard towards Ogata's fist.
Bang!
The two fists collided.
Ogata's expression changed slightly.
On the contrary, the bald man's expression suddenly changed.
The reason why Ogata's expression changed slightly was because the bald man's power was much more powerful than he imagined.
His fist actually felt a numbness that could not be ignored, but the pain was nothing compared to the injuries he had mentioned before.
As for why the bald head's expression suddenly changed...the same reason why Ogata's expression changed was that he also misjudged Ogata's power.
Ogata's lean figure looks so deceptive that it makes people think that he is a person with limited strength no matter how strong he is.
Baldhead, who seriously misjudged Ogata's strength, screamed while covering his right hand that was so painful that it felt like it was about to split.
Ogata would not miss this perfect opportunity to decide the outcome.
Ogata used his left fist to hit the bald man with a big belly hard.
After hitting the bald man's belly with his left fist, Ogata realized that this bald man was not the kind of person with only fat on his body.
He is the kind of person with strong muscles surrounded by layers of fat.
This kind of body shape reminds Ogata of that kind of sumo wrestler.
Sumo wrestlers are all built with strong muscles and a layer of fat. They have strong strength and a weight that is difficult to push.
Under the protection of this ring of fat and muscles, the bald man was extremely resistant to beatings. Ogata punched him 4 times before he finally fell, successfully breaking the record of "the number of punches Ogata withstood".
…
…
The rhythm of this fist fight became extremely fast due to Ogata's presence.
In less than half a minute, all 20 people in the "clothed camp" fell to the ground. 14 of them were knocked down by Ogata.
As for the "shirtless camp" on Ogata's side, due to Ogata's activity, there were a total of 10 people who were not defeated, including Ogata.
Most of their opponents were knocked down with one punch by Ogata who suddenly joined in...
"Oh oh oh oh!!"
After the last person in the "clothed camp" fell to the ground, the members of the "shirtless camp" except Ogata who were still standing cheered.
"Too strong! This Japanese is so strong! This is the first time for me to have such an easy fist fight! (Lucia)"
"Most of the people were killed by the Japanese. I'm a little disappointed...(Lucia)"
"This Japanese should really go to our country! Participate in those boxing matches with money to bet! You can definitely make a lot of money! (Lucia)"
…
In addition to cheering, these people also spoke words in Lucian that Ogata could not understand.
"Mashima! You are so awesome!"
At this time, Vasili came over and praised Ogata in Japanese, and Ogata finally heard a language he understood for the first time in a long time.
"Are you from the army?"
"No." Ogata shook his head, "I'm not a soldier. I'm just an ordinary ronin. Okay, I've finished this fist fight with you. It's time to fulfill your promise. Let's talk about it.
What did the two Japanese people I met look like?"
"...Mashima, I have an unkind request." Vasily pursed his lips and said seriously, "Can you please have a fight with me? Just you and me."
"Huh?" Ogata frowned slightly.
"I just watched your fight, and the blood in my body was about to burn. I want to compete with you! Just a fight!" Vasili's tone was somewhat sincere.
"After you finish fighting with me, I will tell you everything I know!"
Looking at Vasili in front of him, Ogata muttered in his heart in a helpless tone:
Is he another person who loves to fight...
How many people have I met so far who like to fight and compete with others? Ogata himself has lost count.
However, the people he had met before were all those who liked fighting with weapons. This was the first time Ogata had seen someone who liked fist fighting.
"No." Ogata said without hesitation, "You promised me that as long as I participate in this traditional activity of yours, you will tell me the details of the two strange-looking Japanese people you met before."
"Now you suddenly want me to fight you again."
"Are you trying to break your promise?"
After hearing the words "not keeping his promise" from Ogata's mouth, Washi showed impatience and embarrassment.
Vasily pursed his lips. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something and softly said "Ah".
Then he hurriedly said:
"Ah, by the way, how about this!"
Vasili quickly ran towards his jacket that had been thrown aside just now. After groping inside the jacket for a while, he took out a long tube-like object.
"This thing is called a 'telescope'!" Vasily ran back to Ogata with this long tube-shaped object. "It can see distant objects clearly! It is a very useful thing!"
"As long as you fight me again now, I will give you this telescope!"
"Telescope?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.
As a time traveler, Ogata certainly knows what a telescope is.
This is indeed a good thing.
"May I see it?"
"Take it." Vasili readily handed the telescope in his hand to Ogata, "Just pull these two tubes apart and you can use it."
The telescope in Vasily's hand was a very popular monocular telescope in this era.
It's very small, only as long as Ogata's hand before pulling it open.
Ogata took the telescope handed over by Vasily, pulled it open and tried it out. He could see quite far away and very clearly.
"A-Machi!" Ogata shouted to A-Machi who was standing not far away, "Do you want to come over and try out this telescope?"
At this time, Japan still pursued a national policy of isolation, so such Western gadgets were very rare on the market.
Although Omachi had heard of the name "telescope" before, he had never used one.
After Ogata asked her if she wanted to try out the telescope, Amachi, who was very curious about the telescope, immediately ran over and took the telescope handed by Ogata.
"Wow!" Amachi immediately exclaimed after putting one eye towards the camera, "You can see so far. So this is a telescope..."
Needless to say, the practicality of telescopes.
In Japan, which is still closed to the country, telescopes are a luxury item with a price but no market. Probably only those high-ranking officials have channels to get their hands on telescopes.
"As long as you fight with me, no matter whether you win or lose, I will give you this telescope!" Vasili added.
Looking at A-Machi who was holding a telescope and having a great time, Ogata only thought for a while and then looked at Vasili.
"...Okay, I'll fight you again."
"I can't thank you enough!" Vasili's face showed a look of ecstasy.
"A-Machi, please stand a little further away. Vasily, after the fight is over, you must keep your promise and tell me the details of the two Japanese you met before."
"Don't come up with anything else for me."
"Don't worry!" Vasili pressed the joints of his fists, "I will tell you everything I know immediately after I compete with you!"
Ogata and Vasili had been communicating in Japanese just now, so Vasili's subordinates couldn't understand what they were saying or what they were planning to do.
But after seeing Ogata and Vasili putting on their own boxing stances, they all cheered. Although they didn't know why Ogata and Vasili planned to fight in a one-on-one fight, they just knew that there was a good show to watch.
That’s it.
Some people who had just fallen to the ground but were not seriously injured also got up again at this time, and gathered not far away from Ogata and Vasili, preparing to watch the duel between Ogata and Vasili.
Ogata just wants a quick victory now.
So as soon as he opened his stance, Xu Fang rushed towards Vasili like an arrow from the string.
Vasili's eyes couldn't keep up with Ogata's speed.
Unable to react, there was only one fate for Navasili. He was punched heavily in the stomach by Ogata.
However, Vasily did not collapse.
After coughing a few times, he punched Ogata on the head.
Ogata just lowered his head to avoid Vasili's attack, and then aimed another punch at Vasili's chest and belly.
However, Vasili still did not fall.
Surprise appeared in Ogata's eyes at this time.
The reason why Ogata was surprised was not just because Vasili could take three punches from him and not fall down.
What's more, he discovered that Vasili, who had been punched by him three times in a row, actually smiled happily.
As if being beaten by Ogata is such a happy thing...
…
…
Vasily was born in a rural area near Moscow.
His father gave him many teachings.
Among them, the teaching that impressed him the most was "Celebrate the festival with fists."
In Vasili's hometown, he not only fights with people on Maslenitsa, but also fights with people from his own village and other villages during every festival.
So as soon as Vasily could remember, he started fighting with people.
Maybe it's because of his personality, he likes to fight with people very much.
Especially when fighting someone so strong.
As long as he punches those strong people, or is punched by such strong people, Vasili will feel very happy.
It felt like having a sudden stomachache in the wilderness, enduring it for a long time, finally finding the toilet, and finally getting over it.
Only when he hits a strong person and is hit by a strong person, Vasili will feel very happy.
Among their group, Vasili would only feel happy when fighting with their red-haired boss. The others were too weak, and there was no joy in fighting them.
And now, for the first time in a long time, Vasily experienced the joy of fighting with someone other than the red-haired boss.
Whenever Ogata's fist hit him, although he felt pain, he also felt very happy.
There is a strange pleasure.
Painful and happy, this is probably how Vasili feels now.
Fighting since he was a child, Vasily has developed a very strong ability to resist beatings.
This strange happiness also allowed Vashili to withstand Ogata's heavy punches longer.
Because he couldn't avoid Ogata's fist at all, Vasili resisted Ogata's fist while counterattacking.
However, his punch speed was too slow, and Ogata easily dodged his punch and launched a torrential attack on Vasili.
After discovering that Vasili was thicker than he thought, Ogata increased his strength slightly.
But Ogata still became more and more surprised the more he fought.
After all, he could understand Vasily's smile.
Ogata guessed that it was probably because he met a strong man whom he had not seen for a long time that he smiled so happily.
But for some reason, he always felt that Vasili's smile looked very strange.
Aiming at Vasili's chest and throwing the ninth punch, Vasili's body shook a few times and finally fell to the ground.
"Hahaha……"
Vasili was lying in a large shape in the snow, breathing heavily.
"Thank you... for your advice..."
Vasili rolled his tongue and spoke a slightly awkward Japanese honorific.
Although his body was obviously bruised with various bruises, he still showed a strangely happy smile.
I have to say that Vasili really endured so many punches, and apart from some bruises on his body, there were no other serious problems.
Although this is also related to Ogata showing mercy.
"Are you satisfied?" Ogata asked, "Can you tell us everything you know?"
"Of course...but...ha...please let me take a break..."
…
…
After lying in the snow and resting for a while, Vasili asked Ogata and the others to come with him, saying that it was not a suitable place to talk and asked Ogata and A-Machi to come to his camp.
Ayaka had already left at this time. After all, it was already noon. His wife had been waiting for him to come home for lunch for a long time.
Ogata and Atachi, who were following closely behind Vasili, led them into the camp of Vasili and his group of Lucians.
Not long after entering Vasili's camp, A-Machi let out an exclamation.
"Ayi! Look! Their horses are so tall!"
Ogata and the others were passing by a stable.
Inside the stables, there are majestic horses.
Looking at the horses in the stable, a bit of surprise appeared in Ogata's eyes uncontrollably.
Atachi's height is approximately 1.55 meters.
And every horse in this stable has a shoulder height higher than Atachi.
The height at the shoulders alone is higher than Atachi, and when the height of the head is included, the height of each horse in this stable is between 1.7 meters and 1.9 meters.
Since traveling to the Edo period, Ogata has become accustomed to seeing horses that are not much taller than donkeys.
Now that he suddenly saw so many tall horses, Ogata felt a little uncomfortable.
There are also horses produced in Japan, but horses in Japan are generally short and basically not much taller than donkeys.
All the horses Ogata had seen before had a shoulder height of only between 1 meter and 1.4 meters.
When they escaped from Butterfly Island last year, Mamiya and the others gave Ogata a horse.
It was at that time that Ogata learned to ride a horse. Then with this horse, he followed Mamiya and Makimura from Kii to Owari, and then rode alone from Owari to Kyoto.
The horse Ogata was riding at that time was not as tall as Ogata, even including the height of his head...
In terms of overall height, it is probably only on par with Atachi.
In terms of shoulder height alone, the horse Ogata was riding at that time was only about 1.2 meters.
"Hahahaha!" Vasili, who was walking in front, laughed a few times, then turned his head and cast a gentle look at the horse in the stable next to him, as if he were looking at his own child, "How is it? You're surprised, right?
, the horses used by us Cossacks are all Don horses.”
"The Don hippopotamus is the strongest horse breed in the world."
"It has both speed and power, strong endurance, and can withstand rough feeding. It is the most suitable horse to be used as a war horse."
"To us, these horses are like our best friends and wives, accompanying us from the distant grasslands of Eastern Europe to this distant east."
"Cossacks?" Atachi tilted his head, showing a cute puzzled expression, "Aren't you Lucians?"
"Hahahaha." Vasily laughed a few more times, "Although it's not wrong for you to call us Lucians, I prefer you to call us 'Cossacks'."
"We also like to call ourselves 'Cossacks'."
"Cossacks...are they ethnic names like 'Kazuto' and 'Ainu'?" Amachi continued to ask.
Vasili shook his head.
"It's not an ethnic name. How should I put it... You can understand 'Cossack' as the name of a group."
"'Cossack' is a Turkic word, which means 'free person' or 'brave person'."
"The history of our 'Cossacks', to put it simply, is that almost 200 years ago, a group of people could not bear the oppression and decided to flee to other places, and finally successfully settled in a fertile land."
"This group of people includes all nationalities. Together they tenaciously took root in a foreign country and survived."
"This group continued to grow, and over time, everyone began to call them 'Cossacks.'"
"We don't care about your nationality. As long as you join us on that land, you will be a 'Cossack'."
"So in 'Cossacks' you can see people of all nationalities."
"For example, there are two Germans under my command. They are both Germans and Cossacks."
"And our boss is both Scottish and Cossack."
Having said this, Vasili paused and then quickly added.
"By the way, I think I haven't told you yet. There is a boss above me, but he is out for drawing now."
"I know." Ogata nodded, "Ayaka told me something about your boss yesterday."
"Then according to what you say, we can also become Cossacks?" A-Machi interjected from the side.
Although Amachi didn't recognize the Germans or Scots that Vasili just mentioned, she barely understood what Vasili meant.
"You can say that." Vasily nodded, "It's a pity that we Cossacks are no longer 'free people'."
A hint of helpless bitterness slowly appeared on Vasili's face.
"We Cossacks are now under the control of the Tsar of Lucia."
"At the request of the Tsar, we had to come to the distant Far East to explore."
"I haven't been home for four years."
"I really want to go home..."
After raising his hand and grabbing his hair, Vasili moved forward and pursed his lips.
"We're here. The tent in front is my tent."
As the second-in-command of their group, the tent he lived in was not any different from the others' tents. It was very simple.
Vasili lifted the curtain at the entrance of the tent: "Come in, it's a little messy, please don't mind."
After entering the tent one after another, Ogata and Atachi looked around at the place where Vasily lived.
Ogata found out that Vasili was very dishonest, which was a little confusing.
The three tables of different sizes in the tent were filled with all kinds of messy things.
The space on the floor is also occupied by all kinds of messy things, leaving almost no place to stay.
With this level of filth, even if you tell Ogata that this tent is a tent for storing debris, Ogata will believe it.
Although there were all kinds of debris in this tent, one thing caught Ogata's attention.
There is a gun rack placed on a small table not far away.
On the gun rack was a very long musket.
It was this long musket that caught Ogata's attention.
Atachi and Ogata discovered the musket almost at the same time.
With his eyes shining, A-Machi carefully stepped on the few open spaces on the floor that were not covered by various debris, and came to the small table where the long musket was placed.
"Is this the musket you use?" A-Machi asked Vasily, "This is the first time I've seen such a long musket..."
"Hahaha!" Vasili casually pulled a table next to him and sat down. "This gun is called the 'Kentucky Long Rifle.' It should be considered the most advanced musket at present."
"His shooting accuracy is higher and his shooting range is longer."
"Eight years ago, the Milicians on the American continent relied on this Kentucky long rifle to defeat the English army, win their independence, and establish a new country."
"American continent?" A-Machi looked confused.
"Across the sea to the east of your country of Japan is the American continent." Vasily said, "Eight years ago, a group of people who had immigrated to that continent just established a new country."
"It is said that during the Revolutionary War they fought, a gunman named 'Mossie Murphy' shot and killed the enemy commander 300 yards away."
"300 yards...how far is that?" Amachi asked.
"Hmm... I don't know what unit of length you use in Japan."
"It's about 30 yards from our camp to Aiyaka's Kuma village."
"So the distance of 300 yards is roughly equivalent to five round trips from our camp to the village of Aiyaka."
"Can this gun hit such a long distance?" A-Machi's eyes widened in surprise, "And there is a way to accurately hit the target at such a long distance..."
"This kind of gun is currently only equipped on a small scale among us Cossacks." Vasily shrugged.
Vasili looked at Ogata.
"Okay, let's talk about the main topic."
"You said you are looking for two Japanese people, right?"
"More than a year ago, we did meet two Japanese people whose appearance matched what you just mentioned, but I don't know if they are the people you are looking for."
"We were moving to a new place and exploring new and unknown places."
"While passing through a certain forest, I suddenly heard a strange sound."
"We were curious, so we rode over to take a look and found that it was two Japanese, an old man and a young man, quarreling."
"We were far away at the time, so we couldn't hear clearly what the two people were arguing about."
"The younger one, for some reason, I always feel like he..."
Vasili raised his hand and nodded his head.
"There seems to be something wrong here."
"Because the way he looked at that time was really weird and hysterical."
Hearing this, Ogata's eyes narrowed slightly.
If the young and old couple that Vasili was talking about were Xuan Zheng and Xuan Zhen, then this would be consistent with the information he had heard from the pet dealer named Tang Shen before. Xuan Zhen's mind seemed to be a little abnormal.
