"Why did you do it, Big Mom? You shouldn't have agreed to the World Government's request to deal with me!" Blaize's voice reverberated across the Whole Cake Island.
"So what if I do, brat? Do I need to seek your permission to make my decision? Who do you think you are!!" Big Mom's thunderous voice boomed. With an air of indifference, she casually labeled him a mere 'brat'.
"Is that so...Then remember it, Big Mom. It's your decision that's going to be the downfall of the Big Mom pirates!" Blaize uttered casually as if he could them on a whim.
"Mama...Mama...Do you truly believe yourself to be invincible after defeating the old Whitebeard who's weakened by the passage of time and burdened by the hidden wounds." Big Mom spoke.
"Disappointing!" Blaize shook his head and voiced in amusement, "I thought you were smart, Big Mom. Haven't you thought about why would a behemoth like World Government strike a deal with the likes of you to deal with me?
Big Mom's expression stiffened for a moment before returning to normal. "What are you trying to say?"
Blaize continued. "Why do you think they let me take control of the Marines without putting up a fight? Is it because they were so bored, they want to see what I do with it?"
"No," He shook his head, his entire being radiated with an overwhelming aura as he spread his hands in a flashy manner. "It's because I am strong! Even the World Government fears facing me head-on.
Knowing me well, they are making preparations by assembling their forces and trying to draw strong people to their sides like you and Kaido."

'What an arrogance!' Big Mom pirates thought but after a moment of contemplation, they found it right.
"Let's test your words! If you aren't as formidable as you claim, be prepared to be buried here!" Big Mom's fingers tightened around Napoleon's hilt, shifting it to its longsword form.
A surge of black lightning danced along the blade's edge, infused with Haoshoku Haki.
"Hah!" With a roar, she unleashed a mighty swing in Blaize's direction. The sheer force of her attack cracked the air itself.
A deafening roar pierced the air as an explosion-like shockwave of pure destruction, as it surged forward at incredible speed, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.
Buildings crumbled to dust, and the very earth trembled as the shockwave tore through everything in its path. Meanwhile, the big mom pirates struggled to maintain their footing while the weak ones took cover.
Facing such an attack, Blaize stood tall, his hands casually tucked inside his pockets, with a relaxed expression. He looked nonchalant as if he had no intention of blocking the attack.
As the destruction wave neared Blaize, it crashed against some barrier and stopped in mid-air. And with a wave of his hand, Big Mom's attack dissipated into nothingness.
"If that's all you got, then it's pretty weak!" Blaize chuckled and stated, "Let me show mine! First, let's take out the weak ones! They will be a nuisance in the battle of our scale."

"Katakuri nee-san, can you see what he's going to do?" Charlotte Daifuku inquired, knowing full well of his brother's extraordinary Observation Haki.
"My Observation Haki is restrained by his presence," Katakuri said with his brows furrowed. "I can foresee every move, but when it comes to him... it's as if the future itself is blocked! My abilities don't seem to work against him."
"What?"
Blaize unleashed his full-level Conqueror's Haki. The air around him twisted for a moment before a ripple spread outward, sparkling with black arcs of energy.
His Haki covered the entirety of Whole Cake Island in an instant, rendering everyone unconscious while buildings and vegetation were crushed to nothingness.
Aside from the Sweet Commanders and a select few strong individuals such as Daifuku, Oven, and a handful of others, no one remained conscious on Whole Cake Island.
After a second, fissures formed on the ground, spreading like spiderwebs as if the island itself was under Blaize's overwhelming pressure, showing signs of falling apart.
The impact was catastrophic, as the entire Whole Cake Island turned into a ruin.
"How dare you? I'm going to kill you!" Big Mom screamed in fury, witnessing her home getting reduced to rubble.
Her Conqueror Haki exploded in rage and fought with Blaize, trying to reduce the impact and protect the island from falling apart.
With a resounding roar, their Haki clashed in mid-air, but the next moment, Big Mom found herself momentarily overwhelmed by the sheer power of his will. 'How can this be?'
Despite her years of experience, She found it unbelievable. 'Such a level of Haki is impossible. It's even stronger than Captain Rocks and Roger!'
In no time, Blaize's intense Haki exerted his dominance over Big Mom and suppressed her.
At Big Mom's level, there's nothing more disgraceful than being defeated by an opponent's will. Big Mom clenched her fist, 'It's infuriating...to think one day I would be...Ah!'
"Mama's Haki is suppressed! He's so strong, we underestimated him!" Charlotte Snack exclaimed nervously. "We have to do something!"
"How?" Charlotte Oven asked in a frustrated tone. "We're already using every ounce of our willpower just to remain standing! How are we supposed to confront him?"
His words mirrored everyone's emotions. Despite their formidable strength, they found themselves at a loss against Blaize's overwhelming power.
"Though he's strong, Mama's not weak. Be ready, when there's a chance we must unite our powers and deliver a fatal blow." Katakuri uttered and continued,
"In case something worse happens, be ready to retreat with Mama! Using Brulee's devil fruit ability, we can withdraw into the Mirror world.
Even if the battle destroys all the mirrors on Whole Cake Island, I have a spare one right here."

Charging forward, Big Mom released a devastating punch aimed at Blaize. Her fist was boosted by the firepower of Prometheus and infused with the Haoshoku Haki.
In the face of Big Mom's attack, Blaize countered with a powerful punch of his own, coating his fist with the formidable Haki of the King.
"Boom!"
As their attacks collided, a shockwave reverberated outward, crackling with the black streams of energy all over. A grand clash of two conqueror haki users!
A blinding flash of light flared from the epicenter of the clash, blazing the entire island with its brilliance. And then, with a resounding boom, the sky above Whole Cake Island split apart!
