The battle between Blaize and King ended with Blaize emerging as the Victor. As for King and Jack, they were apprehended and bound with seastone shackles.
King is tough and strong-willed as he was able to battle him for six hours without losing. When it comes to strength and Haki, he's as strong as Speed but he's not as fast as Speed.
Compared to King, Jack is a lot weaker and has a long way to go.
At that moment, system notification sounded in his mind awakening Blaize from his thoughts.
[~ Achievement: Defeated one of the All-stars: King.
Reward: +0.5 Haki +1.0 Free attribute point
~ Achievement: Defeated one of the All-stars: Jack.
Reward: +0.5 Free attribute point ~]
'Lucky!' Blaize exclaimed joyfully. At the same time, he wondered why the rewards are a lot low as both King and Jack are Calamities of Beast Pirates.
Then he thought, maybe only when the entire crew is defeated the rewards will be complete. Blaize then checked his status panel,
[~ Name: Blaize Hunt
Occupation: Marine
Constitution: 65.4
Devil Fruit: 62.7
Haki: 61.8
Free attribute point: 4.5 ~]
"Blaize-san..." Regis's voice interrupted his thoughts. When he raised his head, he saw the latter holding Den Den Mushi that resembled Sengoku.
"Hello,"
"Blaize..." Sengoku's helpless voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi. He heard that Blaize has caught two All-stars of the Beast pirates.
He's pleased with Blaize's strength but thinking of Kaido gave him a headache. That madman Kaido will definitely try to attack and rescue his subordinates.
If it's some normal members of the crew Kaido may not care but King and Jack are a different matter.
"I assume you know about the clash between Whitebeard and Kaido, right?" Sengoku asked.
"Yes,"
"Their battle has ended a while ago when Kaido got the report of King and Jack's defeat. If I am not wrong, he's heading right towards you.
From what I heard, he left the battlefield furious. I don't need to say what this means, right?" Sengoku stated the situation.
"If possible, I really want to fight Kaido, the strongest creature in the world!" Blaize answered in an excited tone.
"You brat...I agree you have strength rivaling Admirals but against Kaido I see no odds of you coming out alive. Don't compare him with Crystal, they are not of the same level."
"What do you need me to do, Sengoku-san?" Blaize asked, openly.
"Impel down won't do any good. Bring King and Jack to the Marine Headquarters. Garp and I are here and I also ordered Akainu and Kizaru to come back.
I sent Kuzan for your support. My concern is, can you reach Marineford before Kaido get to you?"
"Even though Kaido is strong and capable of flight, he can't find me easily. The New World is big!"
"Did you forget there's something called Vivre card in the world?" Sengoku helplessly responded.
'Yes,' Blaize scratched his head and replied. "I forgot!"
"Then if I kill King and Jack, there should be no problem, right?" Blaize asked while his eyes gazed over King and Jack.
"Can you stop with the foolish talk? It's a serious matter!" Sengoku angrily spoke.
"Ok." After listening to Sengoku's plan, Blaize ended the call and threw the Den Den Mushi back at Regis.
At that moment, King who was silent the entire time spoke. "You may be strong but against Kaido-san you won't survive a single blow."
"I would be happy if Kaido can defeat me in a single blow but I doubt he would do that as he enjoys fighting and likes to test the strength of his opponents." Blaize indifferently remarked.
"If he wants to rescue, that's only after defeating me!"
At that moment, Regis who was next to him spoke. "Blaize-san, I don't doubt your strength but it's a widely known fact: If it's one-on-one, Kaidou will win.
On land, sea, and air... among all living things, he is a pirate who is known as the strongest creature!!"
Blaize rolled his eyes at Regis as the latter spoke the exact words said in the anime. But Blaize knew the words aren't just for show as Kaido's really strong.
In New World, no one dared to provoke that madman, and his strength is acknowledged by all.

Back in Marineford, the order is given to prepare for battle by Sengoku and the top officers present in the Headquarters rallied elite troops to the plaza.
Meanwhile, the inhabitants of Marineford, a city where the families of Marines reside, have been told to stay indoors for safety purposes. Fleets of ships were stationed around the coastline.
When the soldiers heard Kaido is coming, they were nervous and anxious as every time Kaido attacked Marineford many have died in the process.
--
After what seemed like two hours, the marine soldiers noticed a figure pedaling a bicycle on the sea. Kuzan has arrived.
He could have arrived sooner if he used his devil fruit in a different way but he won't as he's basically lazy.
"Kuzan, you came. Have a bite?" Blaize gestured the latter as he savored large meat of the sea king that he just killed and barbecued.
"You really have the nerves of steel. You even found time to eat. I don't know what to say! But Blaize, you should stop stirring up trouble wherever you go."
"I can't, it's in my nature" Blaize shrugged, swallowing a huge piece of meat.
"So, what are you going to do? I don't think we can reach Marineford before Kaidou finds us, do you have the confidence to confront kaidou head-on?"
"Nope,"
Kuzan sighed and sat next to Blaize. 'I should at least enjoy the meat. It smells good!'
