The battle between Son Goku and Ron had reached its boiling point.
Both of them were giving it everything they had.
Every punch landed solidly, and they were even willing to trade injuries.
Son Goku was going all in, fighting with everything he had, all for the sake of fully showing off his current strength.

Then his body plummeted like a meteor and crashed onto a massive island.
The aura of Kaioken hadn't faded, which meant the battle wasn't over yet.
The moment he hit the ground, Son Goku kept backflipping to put
