"Woooh! This feeling... It's been a while!" Kaido grinned savagely, a predatory gleam in his eyes as he looked at Ian, a thrill coursing through him.

Whoosh!

He charged again, a force of nature, a rampaging beast, his power threatening to overwhelm everything in its path. Ian's expression remained calm, almost serene, as their fists collided once more. Kaido was pushed back, but in the next instant, he was charging again.

Like a relentless tiger, he attacked again and again, his savage intensity unwavering, as if trying to tear Ian apart. Yet, each time, Ian repelled him.

Against Ian's power, Kaido relied solely on his monstrous durability, a testament to his resilience. Ian was stronger, but not by much.

Perhaps, given ten days or half a month, he could achieve victory. In the world of One Piece, overwhelming strength resulted in swift victories, but evenly matched opponents could clash for days.

Finally, as Kaido charged once more, a glint of determination flashed in Ian's eyes. He clenched his right fist and muttered a single word.

"Busoshoku: Koka."

Hum! In an instant, Busoshoku Haki enveloped his fist, coating it in a deep, lustrous purple.

Ian's figure flickered, appearing mid-air. His Haki-infused fist, angled downwards, connected with Kaido's incoming attack.

BOOM!!!

The air exploded, a thunderous roar that reverberated through the prison, making their ears ring.

A shockwave rippled outwards, carrying dust and debris in all directions, shaking the very foundations of Impel Down's Level Six, the Eternal Hell. The tremors reached the surface, stirring the already turbulent waves of the surrounding sea.

In that instant, a flicker of surprise crossed Kaido's bloodshot eyes, a brief moment of clarity.

Crack! As their Haki-clad fists collided, a sickening crack echoed through the air, the sound of bone fracturing. Lightning crackled around their fists, the manifestation of their respective abilities.

Ian's fist also crackled with explosive force and the power to manipulate weight, the Kilo Kilo no Mi.

Having absorbed the Float Float no Mi, Ian could potentially develop it even further, reaching 100,000-ton threshold. While insignificant compared to Kaido's monstrous strength, it was a valuable asset nonetheless.

Kaido was sent flying, crashing into the ground with such force that he became embedded in the earth. He continued to slide backwards, plowing a deep furrow in the ground like a raging bull.

BOOM!

A thunderous roar echoed as Kaido's body, buried beneath a pile of rubble, finally came to a stop. A furious voice emerged from the debris.

"You bastard..."

BAM! Rocks exploded outwards as Kaido emerged, clutching his twisted arm. With a powerful twist, he snapped it back into place.

Crack! His arm was healed, as good as new. But his focus wasn't on his injury. It was on Ian... who still hadn't unleashed his full power. He hadn't even drawn his sword.

He had initially thought Ian was a worthy opponent, their strength comparable. He had anticipated a battle of attrition, a test of endurance, a domain where he reigned supreme.
