Chapter 26

Beat-Up But Shining is the twenty-sixth chapter of the OnePunch-Man manga series.

Summary
Genos' body starts to deteriorate because of the Sea King's Acid Saliva. Genos was completely at a major disadvantage and was about to get killed by the Sea King. Suddenly, License-less Rider attacks the Sea King from behind with his Justice Crash attack, by literally throwing off his bicycle towards the Sea King but the attack was obviously useless. License-less Rider then punches the Sea King but is easily parried and smashed to the ground few times before getting thrown away. Sea King then resumes to finishing off Genos but License-less Rider intervenes again with his Justice Tackle attack, hugging the Sea King from behind. This attack was also useless and License-less Rider admits to himself that there is no chance of him beating the Sea King, but he did not have any other choice but to fight because no one is left to fight. The people started cheering for License-less Rider and he gets pumped up, but gets knocked out by the Sea King with a punch to his face. License-less Rider's body was suddenly held by Saitama, who seemed to just arrive at the scene. Saitama praises License-less Rider's fight and was surprised by Genos' state and saying that he will take care of the Sea King, referring to the Sea King as a "sea-freak". Sea King hears Saitama's words and punches Saitama back in his head, but Saitama seems to be unaffected.
