One Punch Man Manga Online Chapter 172
Black Sperm and Overgrown Rover, now tamed and tagging along, trail Saitama as he makes his way to the Hero Association HQ in A-City. Inside, Association officials host a sleek presentation promoting new ultra-secure, monster-proof apartments—exclusive to A-Class heroes and above. The pitch emphasizes peace of mind, luxury, and the impenetrable protection of Metal Knight’s AI defense system. But murmurs ripple through the crowd—many heroes are skeptical, questioning the wisdom of trusting security to fallible tech and humans.
Suddenly, alarms blare. The source? Saitama casually strolling into the HQ—flanked by a grinning Black Sperm and a puppy-sized Overgrown Rover. The security system instantly flags the monsters, deploying Metal Knight’s automated robots in force. Before anyone can intervene, Saitama dismantles the first wave without breaking stride. More bots arrive, escalating in size and cost, but Saitama nonchalantly crushes them one after another. Within moments, the HQ’s prized defense system—worth 9 billion yen—lies in smoking ruins.
Panicked staff and high-ranking officials rush out, horrified at the destruction. Saitama, as always, seems more confused than concerned. Before tensions escalate, King arrives, calmly inserting himself into the situation and vouching for Saitama. The atmosphere cools immediately. Saitama awkwardly hands King his cracked game console, which he’d been carrying around for repairs, before King silently exits.
Hidden beneath Rover’s back, Black Sperm marvels at how he managed to infiltrate Hero HQ undetected—an absurd twist of fate that even he can’t fully comprehend. Across the hall, Forte, still nursing his bruised ego, watches Saitama and King interact. He stares, baffled, as the pieces start to connect. Moments later, it’s confirmed—Saitama has been newly promoted to A-Class Rank 39, though the implications of that title remain hilariously misunderstood by almost everyone involved.
