Marine Headquarters,
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I think there's nothing to worry about the contact between Whitebeard and Vice Admiral Blaize." Rear Admiral Avery Silver remarked.
After witnessing the recent battle between Blaize and Yonko Kaido, he became an ardent follower of Blaize and began to follow the justice of the Strong.
Hearing this, most of the Marine officers agreed while Sengoku raised his eyebrows. He could tell from their faces they regarded Blaize as some kind of hero in their heart.
'It's not the problem right now...' Sengoku rubbed his temples.
The fight between Yonko and Blaize is no joke, as Blaize directly represents the Marines. If not handled properly, the consequence may be catastrophic.
Facing Whitebeard and his group without any preparation is tantamount to idiocy. Though the Marines had grown rapidly in recent years, the same could be said about the Pirates.
The Marines have what it takes to fight and win a Yonko group, but they must consider other factors that might affect the situation.

Fist wrapped in a white spherical bubble soared towards Blaize. Halfway, the air seemingly cracked, a sound like thunder reverberated throughout the area, and a wave of destructive energy released from the end of Whitebeard's Fist.
Traveling towards Blaize, it aimed to tear apart and crush anything in its path.
Not to be outdone, Blaize counterattacked with an equally mighty blow. The power of Sun cocooned his fist into a golden spherical bubble similar to Whitebeard.
When he punched, his fist unleashed a massive fist of fire that blasted toward Whitebeard.
Midway, both forces collided. "Boom!!!" The clash between the power of the Sun and Shock is overwhelming and destructive. Neither side showed any signs of backing down, aiming to triumph over the other!
Flashes of golden and silver lightning sizzled all over the area. The clash triggered a massive shockwave, tearing down the very landscape of the Island. Trees, rocks, mountains, none spared.
As the shockwave is made of both shock and heat, it burns everything. Making sure nothing would grow on this land for the next decade!
After struggling against one another, the forces canceled out. Blaize was not surprised when the attacks neutralized. His opponent is, after all, Whitebeard!
Once a greeny island, with trees and shrubs, it was now reduced to a barren one. Standing 50 feet apart, Blaize and Whitebeard looked at each other.
"Gulalalaa...not bad, Marine boy. It's been some time since I fought an interesting opponent. Let's fight to our heart's content!" Whitebeard laughed and leaped high in the air.
What happened next shocked Blaize because Whitebeard floated in the air without any support. Only then he noticed, Whitebeard was using pulsating energy to stand in the air.
'He can do that?' Blaize wondered in his heart. Whitebeard before his eyes is completely different from what he imagined and knows.
"Boy, are you daydreaming in the middle of the battle?" Whitebeard roared, enraged a little, presuming the brat underestimates him.
In the blink of an eye, he traversed a distance of several meters and appeared before Blaize. Gripping his naginata with both hands, Whitebeard slashed as the quake bubble formed around the blade side.
The slash shattered the air, unleashing a shockwave shaped like a wind blade covering a wide area.
Reacting quickly, Blaize waved his arm, sending out an advanced form of Armament haki off his body. As Whitebeard's slash closed in, it collided against the invisible layer.
"Bang!"
The shockwave bypassed the defense and smashed Blaize, as the latter's Haki wall couldn't hold back Whitebeard. The powerful force pushed Blaize back, making the latter skid along the ground.
As Blaize balanced himself, a huge figure loomed over him. Whitebeard attacked again without giving him any room to breathe!
"Boom!" Blaize and Whitebeard once again clashed, but this time they brawled in close combat with their fists.
"Not bad, Whitebeard! You are dancing well for your age. I expect nothing less from the World's Strongest Man." Blaize praised. He once again began to feel the long-lost feeling of excitement.
With a broad grin on his face, Whitebeard stared right into the eyes of Blaize. "Gulalalaa, boy, you keep on underestimating me. Is it because you beat that boy Kaido, you think you are the Strongest in the sea?"
As his words resonated, Whitebeard's entire body was illuminated in white light! 'No...it was not white light, it's Quake bubble.'
Similar to covering his arm or weapon, this time Whitebeard concentrated his shock power around his body. Not only that, whisps of dark purple energy crackled emphasizing the use of Haki.
The quake bubble burst as soon as it formed, unleashing a concentrated shockwave explosion that was countless times more powerful than a typical move.
'Shit!! How did my Observation Haki fail to foresee this move? Don't tell me...' Blaize couldn't continue thinking as he felt the impact that flung his body far away.
"World Shock!!!" He heard Whitebeard's roar.
Being so close to the attack, there was not much Blaize could do to avoid it. However, his brain acted instinctively shrouding his entire body with Haki.
The moment he felt the impact, the shockwave traveled through his body as a destructive force seeking to tear and destroy everything.
Thankfully, his body acted out of self-dense and covered his inners with Armament Haki. Still, it couldn't protect him from all the damage as it was done instinctively.
Before he could clear off the force, Whitebeard appeared above him in a zippy and punched with his fist downward. He didn't give any chance for Blaize to resist as everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Even Blaize didn't expect Whitebeard to be this agile for his age. And, he would use everything in his sleeve to finish him off in the shortest time possible.
This move is similar to the one he used to crush Akainu in the summit war. But, the intensity of the attack is much stronger and far more potent.
'Crack!!'
