Kaido started, his stern expression nearly cracking at the question.
"How do you know about Joy Boy?"
"Me?"
Kuta rubbed his chin in thought for a moment, then raised his head and chuckled. "What if I said I knew from birth? Would you believe me?"
"Quit joking, brat."
Clearly, Kaido wasn't about to believe such a ridiculous explanation.
"Hmm!"
As though something had suddenly occurred to him, Kaido fell silent.
This guy was so powerful he could suppress him. From what Kaido had seen so far, his chances of winning inside this strange space were less than ten percent.
Even if King arrived with reinforcements, his chances of escaping this space would still be pitifully small.
Being trapped in this strange space felt like falling into an endless swamp of pressure.
He knew King's strength. King would be able to move in here, but not as easily as he could.
So he had known from the outset that getting out would be incredibly difficult.
As for Charlotte Linlin, that old hag could barely save herself right now. How could she possibly save him?
He had lost.
Utterly lost.
He had never imagined he would suffer such a complete defeat.
Kaido raised his head and looked at Kuta, who sat in midair like a true god, with a complicated expression. With difficulty, he said, "You're..."
Once he had spoken, his tone grew certain.
"Joy Boy."
"I..."
Kuta's eyes widened. Leaning forward to stare at Kaido, he pointed at his own head in astonishment. "I'm Joy Boy?"
"Yes!"
Kaido nodded. "Only someone who defeats me can be Joy Boy. I don't know why you look different from what I remember, but surely only Joy Boy could possess such incredible strength at your age."
The more Kaido spoke, the more convinced he became.
