Boom!
Kaido's massive body slammed into the ice like a cannonball, forcing Bullet, Rhino, and Sound Man to dodge hastily.
Under the tremendous impact, the ice covering several kilometers split straight down the middle, forming a fractured belt.
Seawater was about to swallow Kaido. Once he fell into the sea, even his immense strength would probably be powerless to save him.

Yet in just two or three years,
