Jack's massive body charged toward Uchiha Hiko like a small house. He suddenly raised both legs, coating them in Armament Haki before furiously stomping down. The howling gale unleashed by that crushing blow violently assaulted everyone's eardrums.
Everyone's faces went pale. They had not expected Jack to break free of the iron chains so easily, nor to move so swiftly and launch such a fierce, powerful attack at Uchiha Hiko in an instant. Though they could see it happening, they had no time to react. They were certain Uchiha Hiko was doomed, and those with softer hearts had already shut their eyes.
"However, I don't feel like dying just yet!" Hiko, entirely shrouded in shadow, curled his lips in mockery. Then, with one hand, he rubbed his palm and pressed it toward Jack's legs. A sphere of light lit up in his palm. "Rasengan!"
The Crown Prince had used this move his entire life, yet Hiko rarely used it. But that did not mean Hiko lacked mastery over it. On the contrary, Hiko's perfect control over Chakra made his Rasengan even more powerful.
A tremendous tearing sensation struck. Jack had transformed into his beast form and put every ounce of his strength into that Armament Haki-coated stomp. Yet before his feet could land on Hiko, Jack felt a violent distortion of space surge up from below. His overwhelmingly powerful strike instantly lost its sense of direction. His enormous body slid sideways in midair, and a sharp pain tore through his abdomen.
"Heh!" Hiko unleashed his immense Chakra, enough to shake even time and space. His Rasengan suddenly slammed into Jack's massive mammoth body. An invisible ring of airflow burst outward alongside a deafening boom, and everyone nearby felt a terrifying blast of force sweep over them before being sent flying.
