Pollock Island, G-5 Base ruins.
"Vice Admiral William, Commodore Sephiroth!"
A panicked, anxious voice suddenly came from Kaido's side, making him instinctively turn to look.
Not far away, Frank wore a white Justice coat and carried a heavy rocket launcher on his shoulder. His face was filled with worry as he looked at Sephiroth, who lay on the ground with his fate unknown, and Vice Admiral William, who had been blasted away into the distance.
Frank had never expected that he would find a rocket launcher in the collapsed armory just as he was preparing to provide Sephiroth with support and cover.
However...
Before he could even get there, Sephiroth had already fallen...
"Damn you, Kaido!"
Thinking of the care and support Sephiroth had shown him over the years, Frank roared in fury. Blinded by rage, he gave no thought to the immense disparity in their strength. He instinctively raised the heavy rocket launcher, aimed it at Kaido, and pulled the trigger.
The next moment.
An armor-piercing warhead shot from the rocket launcher's barrel, streaking straight toward Kaido.
This heavy rocket launcher was a high-powered weapon purchased from Umbrella Corporation. Even a large sailing ship would be blown to pieces in an instant if hit by one of its warheads!
Boom—!
As the deafening explosion rang out, brilliant orange-red flames erupted around Kaido's body, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and forming a small mushroom cloud.
The intense heat wave rushed toward him, making Frank reflexively shut his eyes.
However...
When the dust dispersed and the heat faded, Frank opened his eyes again. To his horror, Kaido stood where he had been, completely unscathed, staring at him with an ice-cold gaze.
Gulp!
Is this guy really human? The thought surfaced in Frank's mind.
"Hmph! You're courting death!"
Kaido's expression
