Chapter 103: Jokezillah?!
The giant fist gangster had finally reached his limit.
His confidence was gone. His pride was gone. Even his intimidating aura was gone. Only pure fear remained.
Nobody pointed one crowbar toward him. Then dramatically spread his arms. "Run."
The giant fist blinked. "Huh?"
Nobody grinned beneath the crimson bunny helmet. "Run as fast as you can."
The giant fist didn’t need to be told twice. "THANK YOU NOW LET ME LIVE!" Then he turned around and sprinted.
Not a tactical retreat. Not even a dignified escape. The man simply ran for his life. He with his giant fist charged across the warehouse like a terrified giraffe fleeing from a tiger.
Every step shook the floor.
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
Despite having gigantic fists capable of crushing concrete, he was running from a bunny-helmeted biker.
Several conscious staff members stared in disbelief.
One rubbed his eyes. "Is...Is that top gangster running away?"
Another nodded. "Yes."
A third looked toward Nobody. "...Honestly? I’d run too."
Nobody watched the fleeing giant. Then slowly nodded. "Reasonable choice."
The system appeared.

[PREY ATTEMPTING ESCAPE]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Indeed." Nobody snapped his fingers. A motorcycle instantly appeared.
VRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMM!!
The engine roared like a beast.
The giant fist guy looked behind him. His soul almost left his body. Because the bunny biker was now mounting a motorcycle.
The giant screamed. "WHY DO YOU HAVE A BIKE?!"
Nobody adjusted his helmet. "Because walking is slow."
VRRRRRMMMM!!
The motorcycle launched forward. The giant screamed even louder. "THAT DOESN’T ANSWER MY QUESTION!"
The chase began.
The giant fist guy ran. Nobody drove. The distance rapidly closed.
The giant fist’s eyes widened. "No. No no no no no!"
Nobody accelerated. The crimson motorcycle practically flew over broken crates.
The giant desperately increased speed.
Unfortunately, Nobody had learned something from Stage 6.
Movement, speed, reaction. His body was completely different now.
The motorcycle reached the giant within seconds. Nobody stood up on the moving bike.
The giant looked behind. Well it was his big mistake. The last thing he saw was a crimson bunny helmet. And a crowbar.
SWING!!
CLAAAAANG!!
The crowbar smashed directly into his head. The impact echoed throughout the warehouse.
The giant fists’ eyes rolled backward. His massive body froze.
Then....
TIMBER!
BOOOOOOOOM!!
He collapsed face-first into the floor. A cloud of dust exploded upward.
Nobody landed smoothly. Then casually parked his motorcycle beside the unconscious giant.
The system appeared.

Nobody immediately became excited. "WHOOOA!"
He looked at his hand. Then imagined punching somebody. Then imagined punching somebody with a giant fist. Then imagined punching Kuruda.
His excitement doubled. "Nice..Very nice. Muha ha ha ha!"
The system appeared.

"...Maybe."

"...Definitely."
Then....a laugh echoed through the warehouse.
"Hehehehe..."
"Hehehehehe..."
Nobody slowly turned.
The smiling gangster remained standing. His grin somehow looked even wider now.
Nobody sighed. "What’s with this lunatic?"
The system appeared.

Nobody immediately paid attention.

The smiling gangster continued laughing. "Hehehehe..."
The air around him began shaking.
Nobody took several steps backward. "Oh. That doesn’t look healthy."
Then the transformation began.
CRACK!
Bones shifted.
CRACK!
Muscles expanded.
CRACK!
The gangster’s body rapidly grew. His smile never disappeared. That somehow made everything worse. Dark green scales erupted across his skin. His arms enlarged. His chest expanded. His spine stretched. His teeth sharpened.
The warehouse floor cracked beneath him.
Nobody couldn’t even blame the impact it was creating.
Because the smiling gangster was becoming absurd, bigger and larger. More monstrous. His body now resembled a dinosaur. A giant reptilian monster. Massive claws, powerful tail and rows of sharp teeth.
Yet somehow his original hair remained perfectly intact.
Nobody stared. The dinosaur gangster stared. Several seconds passed.
Then Nobody finally spoke. "...What."
The monster roared. The warehouse shook violently.
Nobody pointed immediately. "What the actual Jokezilla is this?!"
The system paused.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ANALYZING]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The giant dinosaur gangster laughed. "Hehehehehe!"
The laughter sounded even more disturbing now.
Nobody pointed again. "No..Stop laughing. You look ridiculous."
The dinosaur gangster stopped laughing. For exactly one second. Then resumed. "Hehehehehehe!"
Nobody looked toward us and said, "Guys.Tell me I’m not the only one seeing this."
The dinosaur gangster’s tail smashed through several walls. The warehouse trembled, steel beams bent and concrete shattered.
This thing was enormous. At least three stories tall. The remaining warehouse lights flickered. The dinosaur’s glowing eyes locked onto Nobody.
Then...
a system window finally appeared.

Nobody read the description. Then slowly lowered the screen. Then raised it again. Then lowered it. Then sighed. "Yeah..I’m not reading all that."
The dinosaur growled.
Nobody pointed at him. "I’ll summarize."
The dinosaur tilted his head.
Nobody spread his arms dramatically. "You became a giant lizard."
The dinosaur immediately roared.
ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAR!!
The entire warehouse shook. Windows shattered.
Nobody’s coat fluttered violently.
Yet, instead of fear a grin appeared beneath his helmet.
Because after fighting Demoness Aconite, red headed centipede, a giant dinosaur like monster wasn’t the craziest thing he’d seen. Not even close.
Nobody twirled his crowbars. The metal reflected the monster’s glowing eyes.
Then he pointed directly at the transformed gangster. "Alright, Jokezilla."
The dinosaur growled.
Nobody cracked his neck. "Let’s see if you’re funnier than Bob."
The dinosaur’s smile slightly faltered.
Because somehow...The bunny biker looked excited about this fight.
The giant dinosaur took a heavy step forward.
BOOM!
The entire warehouse district shook. Dust fell from the ceiling. Cars outside had their alarms triggered.
Yet Nobody simply rested a crowbar on his shoulder. "Man...I leave for a few minutes and suddenly I’m fighting Greenzilla’s unemployed cousin."
The dinosaur growled loudly.
ROOOAAARRR!!
Nobody pointed at him. "Relax, Jokezilla...You’re big. I get it."
Then he twirled both crowbars and entered a battle stance.
A grin formed beneath the bunny helmet. "But let me warn you..." Training scars from the tutorial faintly glowed across his body. "I spent months getting beaten up by monsters much crazier than you."
The system appeared.

Nobody laughed.
"Now that’s a prediction I can get behind."
