Seeing the change in Jack's expression, Dr. Payne was already sweating profusely.

The scientist simply couldn't understand, "Wouldn't this dosage of 'medication' be fatal? Why go to such lengths?"

Shiraki looked carefully into the distance and explained, "Because Jack thought that this would make him stronger, he decided to do it."

Tokugawa then added seriously, "As long as we can become stronger today, we don't need tomorrow—that's the mindset that Jack has held all along!"

Therefore, his "today" is incredibly heavy!

"..."

Dr. Payne was so shocked that he was speechless.

At the same time, two more footsteps came from behind, stepping over medicine bottles and syringes scattered on the ground.

The three spectators turned around and saw that it was none other than Retsu Kaioh and Baki Hanma.

After being given the address by Tokugawa, the two rushed over without stopping and finally arrived at the scene, in time to watch what happened next.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at the mess of medicine bottles on the ground, Baki couldn't help but break out in a sweat, his expression somewhat complicated. "This scene is just like a 'candy house' from a fairy tale."

King Liehai nodded, "Indeed, nothing could better indicate who passed through here."

Both of them held their breath and looked up, their gazes sweeping over the three spectators.

"coming!"

—It's unclear who spoke first, but the five spectators weren't interested in paying attention to any of that.

At that moment, Pi Ke, who was lying prone on the ground, seized the opportunity and used his hands and feet to push against the ground, rushing forward like a missile.

Swish-!

The sound of something cutting through the air was deafening, and the air around Pi Ke was distorted, forming a blurry curve!

In the blink of an eye, Pike had already arrived with a whoosh and pounced on Jack.

At the same time, Jack took a big step back with his left foot, firmly planting his shoe on the ground, and opened his arms to welcome him.

boom!!

The two collided violently.

The sound was like an explosion, shaking the air so much that it seemed to lose its color, leaving only a pure contest.

When the onlookers looked again, they found that only Jack remained in the same spot.

He stretched out his arms, palms down, elbows slightly raised, and stood in a lunge position with his legs forward, his entire body muscles extremely tense.

...What about Pikachu?

Following the wisp of smoke remaining in mid-air, everyone looked behind Jack, at the other end of the distance.

Splash splash splash splash...

Just twenty or thirty meters away—

At the end of that alley, Pico crashed into a concrete brick wall, his entire body submerged in the rubble, with only his two legs remaining outside.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Tokugawa's eyes widened in astonishment. "Pike was sent flying! Flying that far?!"

"..."

The battle continued without pause.

After sending Pike flying from the impact, Jack turned and strode heavily toward the collapsed concrete wall.

Whoa!

Jack reached out and grabbed Piccolo by the back of the head, pulling him out of a pile of broken bricks.

Whoosh—!

Immediately afterwards, Jack twisted his waist and pushed off the ground, lifting Pike's head and slamming it violently against a nearby abandoned telephone pole.

With a loud crash, half of the sturdy cement pole shattered, revealing several steel bars buried deep inside.

Such a scene cannot be simply described as "violence".

"..."

Hanma Baki stared blankly.

He looked at Jack's face, which had been torn off.

Another obvious sign is the muscle reaction caused by the medication.

In addition, Pike, who had been sent flying fifteen... no, twenty meters away, was hit hard on the head again, but he had already started moving again...

It was Brother Baimu who brought Pi Ke to the street and used his actions to reflect on his troubles;

Then, Jack took the initiative and started fighting with Pike!

—After witnessing all of this, Baki Hanma realized that he was "two steps too late".

This understanding gradually became a tangible feeling, and then transformed into pain.

"..."

But just as the boy's brows furrowed in deep sorrow, Shiramu Cheng patted Baki's shoulder, comforting him.

Shiraki Takamasa watched the match intently, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Don't miss it!"

"……Um."

Baki suddenly came to his senses.

He was completely different from Jack—a different kind of fighter.

Baki's unwavering belief is "for tomorrow".

For the young man, there should be no regrets in "today" in order to defeat Yujiro Hanma, and he should just keep working hard for it!

Now that the battle has begun, we should definitely take a good look!

"..."

……

At this moment, after smashing the cement pole with Pike's head, Jack stretched out his two large hands and clamped Pike's head with one on each side.

Coincidentally, this brother of Baki was also thinking about what Shiraki had said.

Pi Ke...

Shiraki said you're a senior who "faces greatness," but I don't care about that.

What I care about more is your fangs.

Even fighters from the underworld are still modern people and would overlook the powerful weapon of "biting".

However, it is not the same.

We can bite each other recklessly, and I may even be the one who ultimately loses!

So, you are also my senior!

Senior...

Tell me, senior!

"what!"

Jack roared, swung Pike's massive body, and slammed him heavily to the ground, making the entire road tremble.

Boom...

Pico, with his back to the ground, got up and sat on the ground, his back to Jack.

Jack didn't stop moving. The moment Pike turned his head to look back at him, he suddenly delivered a powerful mid-section left sweep kick, striking Pike in the head.

Boom——!

After the blow landed, Pike's body flipped to the side and he fell to the ground.

Senior, can you feel it?

--I.

What was I thinking? And how did I survive?

Food, wine, beautiful women, money, status, fame—I've shut the door on all of that!

One road is enough...

Swish!

Jack aimed at Piccolo, who was lying on his side, then raised his left foot and stomped hard on Piccolo's throat, striking a vital spot.

boom!!

Another muffled thud rang out, causing Pi Ke's eyes to tremble and a look of bewilderment to appear on his face.

"..."

Jack's inner emotions were churning.

My life is dedicated to this one path, and that's enough!

That's strength!

I never stopped training, even to the point of incontinence.

I took drugs and teetered on the brink of death...

I wanted to grow taller, so I underwent bone lengthening surgery, enduring excruciating pain to achieve my desired height!

My...my...

All my life's activities are for the purpose of becoming stronger! Everything is for this one thing!!

shuh...

Jack bent down and, as if grabbing a basketball, used his right hand to grab Piccolo's head, lifting the over 200kg body off the ground.
