"Ahh!" Big Mom let out a painful cry as the huge Sun engulfed her entire being. Being the target, Haki covering her body shattered within seconds under the searing heat and it began to burn her alive.
The unbearable pain of being boiled alive made her consciousness shut itself as she passed out. But at the last second, she felt someone pull her away from the burning inferno.
"Hmm?" Blaize suddenly found Big Mom disappeared from his senses. It didn't take long for him to realize Big Mom was transported to Mirror World as he perceived Katakuri near Big Mom.
'Should I pursue them?' Blaize mused and before he could decide, the system notification interrupted his thoughts.
[~Achievement: Defeated Big Mom Pirates
Reward: +2.0 Free Attributes ~]
[~ Name: Blaize Hunt
Occupation: Marine
Constitution: 100 [Half God]
Devil Fruit: 96.0
Haki: 100.0
Free attribute point: 2.0 ~]
'Good! With just 2 more points, I should be able to max out the Devil Fruit attribute,' Blaize remarked in joy.
As for pursuing the Big Mom, he didn't think much. His primary reason for coming here was to obtain the attribute points, and now that he had achieved his goal, he felt no need to chase after her.
And considering that she took his attack head-on, she won't be able to do much for one or two months and won't be much of a threat.
As Blaize closed the system panel, he watched the entirety of Whole Cake Island below him consumed by boiling sea, causing it to vanish from the world without a trace.
"Sigh... another island is destroyed," Blaize lamented softly, retrieving a transponder snail from his pocket.
He called Admiral Fujitora and issued his orders, "Issho, encircle the Totto land. Don't let anyone escape. Big Mom is injured heavily by me, if possible capture her alive.
Me? I am returning to the headquarters. Contact me if you require assistance."

Some distance away from the Totto land,
An earth-shattering battle is taking place between Yonko Kaido and two of the three Admirals of the Marines, Aokiji and Kizaru.
Aokiji's ice power enveloped the entire sea, creating a frozen expanse, while Kaido transformed into his hybrid form before landing squarely in front of them.
On the other side of the battlefield, Kizaru and Aokiji stood with some grazes impairing their Marine uniforms. It was evident that they had clashed with Kaido for some time.
Kaido's entire being boiled in anger, as soon as he found himself confronted by two Admirals of the Marine. His plans to confront Blaize alongside Big Mom were foiled, leaving him frustrated.
With Aokiji and Kizaru blocking his path, leaving would not be an option. Despite his formidable strength, Kaido knew if he fought them, the outcome would not be determined anytime soon.
With his spiked kanabo slung casually over the shoulder, Kaido looked at the two admirals with narrowed eyes. "Since you two have dared to stand in my path, I suppose you are prepared for what comes next. It means WAR."
"Arara... it seems our actions have angered you," Aokiji remarked coolly, "Perhaps you should have thought more carefully before aligning yourself with Big Mom. And don't overestimate yourself, we Marines are not afraid of you!"
"Scary-ne... Fighting a Yonko is exhausting," Kizaru remarked casually, his hands tucked nonchalantly into his pockets.
"Worororo...After that brat became the Fleet Admiral, you marines grew some balls." Kaido crackled for a moment before his voice took on a serious tone.
"Since you two insist on standing in my way, then I suppose I have no choice but to crush you both."
With his words, the atmosphere grew tense and electric. Kaido's entire being radiated with black streams of energy, a show of his mastery over Conqueror's Haki.
On the other side, Aokiji's body began to change, half of him encased in ice, chilling the air around him. Meanwhile, Kizaru's body was engulfed in a radiant golden aura, ready to strike at any moment.
With a surge of strength, Kaido charged at the two admirals with his Kanabo crackling in black lightning arcs.
Facing the charging Kaido, Aokiji unleashed torrents of freezing ice, aiming to turn Kaido into a frozen statue, while Kizaru fired torrents of deadly golden light beams from his hands.
"Don't kid me with such puny attacks!" Kaido roared as he swung his spiked club with thunderous force, imbuing it with the overwhelming power of his Conqueror's Haki.
The elemental forces of ice and light shattered upon impact, unable to withstand the sheer might of Kaido's blow.
Undeterred by the Admirals' attacks, Kaido pressed forward, his impervious dragon skin rendering him immune to their assaults.
With each exchange of blows, shockwaves reverberated through the frozen sea, sending tremors rippling across the surface.
Black lightning crackled through the air, intermingling with blinding bursts of golden light, explosions, and shards of ice as Yonko and Admirals collided with everything they had.
As the clash raged on, Kaido thought, "Linlin, you have to do this one on your own. Don't you dare lose to that brat, or I won't forgive you."

Inside Mirror World,
"How's Mama?" Charlotte Perospero asked.
"I managed to wring out the residual heat and pain but Mama's in critical condition and requires immediate treatment." Charlotte smoothie said.
"Big Bro Katakuri, what about you? Are you ok?" Charlotte Oven inquired, looking at his bloodied form.
"My skin's burned but I'm good. If not for everyone using their Haki to protect the Mirror, I would be done for." Katakuri said and instrcuted,
"Brulee, transfer the best doctors present in Totto land to Mirror world. After that, destroy all the mirrors, except for the well-hidden ones!"
"Okay, Onii-san," Brulee acknowledged before turning and departing.
"I can't believe we were reduced to such a state by a single man." Charlotte Snack clenched his fist in vexation.
Hearing his words, there was silence. In the face of such overwhelming power, they could do nothing but watch. For the first time in their life, they saw a man whose strength had no bounds.
That man's casual moves defeated their entire Big Mom Pirates.
"Let's not dwell on anything else for now, as we're not out of danger yet. Without Mama, we're nothing," Katakuri warned, "Let's concentrate on healing Mama before considering our next moves."
"Good!" the others replied in unison, accepting Katakuri's words.
