"What's happening?" The citizens of Mary Geoise came out of their residence.
As soon as they came out of their home, they were assaulted by intolerable heat that scorched their skins within seconds.
Besides, they were shocked by the bluish-white fireballs raining upon them. Screaming in terror and pain, all of them began to run for their lives.
Never in their dreams they thought, someone would attack Mary Geoise. They all wondered, 'What are the guards and Five Elders doing?'
But, just before the fireballs could fall on the ground, a powerful sword thrust came out of nowhere and cleaved the space itself.
A void cracked open in mid-air and engulfed the fireballs. The fireballs plunged into the opened expanse and disappeared from view.
Even so, some of the fireballs escaped under Blaize's control and found their target. As soon as they touched the ground, 'Boom', it triggered a devastating explosion that incinerated everything in its path.
The destruction and the shockwave itself killed countless World Nobles before they could comprehend what's happening.
In Blaize's mind, a notification sounded. He completed an achievement.

Just as Blaize closed his status panel, the Five Elder appeared before him with rage apparent on their faces.
"I have finally seen your hypocritical faces. What are you angry about? Since you decided to hurt someone on my side, you should have prepared for my retaliation." Blaize ridiculed.
The five elders didn't speak nonsense, they directly attacked. One of the Elders used 'Soru', appeared before him, and delivered a kick packed with his full strength.
Blaize who saw the future effortlessly parried the kick with his left hand but what happened next startled him a little.
A transparent black radiance rose from the Elder who assaulted him and covered everything within 100 meters, including the other Elders.
Blaize felt some kind of pull and the next moment, he stood in an unfamiliar place. He instantly figured he was teleported somewhere far away by the power of the Elder.
'A space power.' Blaize muttered to himself and looked at the Elder who used the power, he's the youngest looking one with blonde hair and beard.
Of course, if he'd wanted he could have evaded the attack, but the only reason he didn't do so was because he sensed the black radiance can't harm him.
When he looked around, he saw Pangaea castle in the distance, some kilometers away, to his right-hand side.
Blaize smiled, noticing the people below. Along with the Five Elders, he saw Commander-in-chief Kong, countless world Government agents, and Cipher Pol. "A Grand Welcome indeed."
"Shall we start?" Blaize said while an overpowering momentum erupted along with the sea of bluish-white flames.
"Attack!" Commander-in-Chief Kong waved his hand. As soon as he commanded, the World Government and Cipher Pol agents swarmed him from all directions.
'Are they trying to exhaust my strength with numbers?' Blaize thought and faced everyone with Haki and pure physical strength.
Blaize was cautious and kept watch of his surrounding with Observation Haki as he knew World Government isn't simple. As the sun had set, he has to limit how much strength he uses in his attacks.
He doesn't want to exhaust his strength as it would end very badly for him. Even so, dealing with them one by one is a very taxing job so he directly used his Conqueror's Haki.
'ZZZZ!'
But, his Haki only managed to take out one-third of the World Government agents as most of them are trained to face such situations.
The next moment, the countless agents attacked him all at once while Kong, Five Elders, and some Cipher pol agents watched from the sideline.
"You guys are getting on my nerves," Blaize clenched his fist, coated them with Haki, and punched. 'Bang!' His fist triggered an air pressure along with terrifying heat that crushed and incinerated everything around him.
Countless agents were thrown in the air, some were killed struck directly by his fist while some were burned to ashes. In the end, only a few remained.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a CP-0 agent appeared before him and tried to grasp his hand. Sensing danger and seeing the future, Blaize leaped and decided to widen the gap between him.
But, he was shocked to find the CP-0 agent's reaction is faster than him as the latter shadowed him easily. With no choice, Blaize blocked the latter's attack by coating his entire arm with Haki.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and breathed flames that roared forward with terrifying momentum. In such close range, evading is impossible.
But, the CP-0 agent disappeared and appeared behind him. This time, Blaize couldn't evade the latter's hand from grasping his neck.
Out of nowhere, a tremendous force attacked his consciousness, Blaize felt as if his soul was struck by countless needles. It was so powerful that screamed in pain before his Conqueror's Haki erupted on his own and blasted the agent far away.
But, that short time frame is enough to change the outcome of the battle of this caliber. The Fiver Elders who were waiting for this opportunity, attacked.
The Elder with a long beard appeared before Blaize when he was in trance and pierced his heart.
As soon as Blaize came out of his trance, he sent a kick to the Elder's head. But, the latter calmly avoided and retreated to the other Elder's side.
Blood dripped from Blaize's chest but the wound healed, at the speed visible to the naked eye. Even so, he wasn't happy as he knew something doesn't add up.
The Five Elder aren't fools. Since they planned such an attack there has to be a reason and Blaize wasn't stupid enough to believe it was to pierce his heart.
With their intelligence, they naturally knew everything about his powers; So is his ability to heal from even severe injuries.
If they knew everything, why did they execute such an unwise blow?
What Blaize doesn't know is, the Five Elders are the most bewildered ones. They thought Blaize would be weakened by now but why did he seem completely fine without any sign of sluggishness.
They are wondering not because they pierced Blaize's heart, but because the Elder who pierced his heart implanted multiple seastone scarps inside the latter's body.
But they didn't expect Blaize would look completely fine even with seastones in his body.
Unfortunately, they don't know even though seastone will deprive Blaize of his devil fruit powers, it won't weaken him as the Devil fruit came from the system.
"How are you still fine?" The Elder with the birthmark on his forehead asked, unable to contain their curiosity.
It didn't take long for Blaize to discover that he couldn't utilize his devil fruit power. 'So the last attack was to strip off my devil fruit abilities and weaken me at the same time...Possibly, they left tiny pieces of seastones inside my body.'
"If you think using the seastone will end me, you are guys too naive," Blaize declared. Before coming here, he thought of this possibility and he wasn't someone who completely rely on his devil fruit power.
He needs to be wary of the annoying Space fruit power and the other Elder's flawless teamwork. Furthermore, he needs to figure what kind of abilities the other four Elders hold.
Imbuing his arms with Conqueror's Haki, he rushed towards the elders without minding the World Government agents.
But before he could reach them, a figure interrupted him mid-way: the former Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Kong.
"Kong-san, are you sure you want to do this?" Blaize asked in a calm tone.
"From where I stand, it's inevitable and you knew it," Kong replied.
"So be it," Blaize's face turned cold and he attacked the latter without a shred of hesitation.
Kong met Blaize punch that imbued with Conqueror's Haki with nothing but Armament Haki and stood still like a mountain. That's how refined his Haki is.
The next moment, Kong's figure transformed into a huge gorilla that had a body full of silver hair. Balling his enormous left hand, he smashed at Blaize.
Blaize attempted to stop the attack by crossing both his Haki-coated arms but the power behind the strike flung him far away. His figure crashed into the huge rock and slid to the ground.
'What a monstrous power!' Wiping the blood at the corner of his lips, Blaize stood to his feet. If he hadn't improved his physique to 70 points, the blow would have injured him heavily.
Blaize heard about Kong's power. He had eaten an Ancient Zoan fruit: Monkey-Monkey Fruit model: King Kong.
"Time to get serious!" Blaize muttered. 'Soru!' His figure disappeared and appeared before Kong the next second.
Before the latter could react, a punch imbued with Conqueror's Haki struck his stomach and sent him flying away.
"Trying to show off your power, to me you're just another old fogey!" Blaize ridiculed.
Knowing Blaize can't be defeated by Kong alone, the Five Elders along with Cipher pol agents joined the battle.
Just like that, the battle of generation started between Blaize and the World Government! Unfortunately, no one would come to know of this heroic battle of a single being facing the entire World Government.
