"Blaize, what's going on?" Sengoku asked, his voice tinged with unease.
They weren't fools; they knew Blaize had something to do with what was happening above the Red Line. But to what extent, and what his plan was, no one knew.
And they weren't in a position to inquire or say something because he was too strong and deep down, they knew he was doing the right thing.
Regarding Sengoku's question, Blaize shrugged his shoulders. "How would I know?"
"I know you don't want us to meddle in the clash between you and World Government matters, but if you need my help, I will do it even if it means completely falling out with them," Kuzan spoke in a lazy but steady voice.
"Kuzan!" Sengoku exclaimed, his eyes narrowing in objection.
"I appreciate it, Kuzan, but there's nothing to worry about. You guys do your duty; I will take care of everything." Blaize spoke with a casual smile.
"Bwahahaha... I don't know what you're doing, brat, but I know you wouldn't do something that endangers the common people," Garp chuckled heartily. "As for that scumbags, it doesn't matter if they are alive or not, it won't impact much."
"Garp..." Sengoku shouted again.
"Sengoku, we are retired. And, it's time the world changes."
"Sengoku-san, I'm not opposing the World Government for power or to rule, but to change the world," Blaize replied in a solemn tone and said, "Okay, everyone. I have to go; I'm in the middle of something."
With that, Blaize's clone returned to its previous mechanical state.

Cloud Island,
Terminating the talk in Marine HQ, Blaize regained his consciousness from the clone and his gaze shifted towards the distant battlefield. He could feel the intensity from afar as Dragon and Figarland prepared for the next clash.
In an instant, his figure flickered, and he arrived at the center of the battlefield. His presence made everyone pause, their eyes drawn to the imposing figure of Blaize.
Seeing Blaize, the tension among the World Government side rose. His mere presence and overwhelming amount of Haki pressed down upon them like a mountain.
This was no ordinary Man; this was the World's Strongest Man, and his arrival could only mean one thing; he was behind everything.
"Oh my, what a pleasant surprise to encounter the Supreme Commander of the God Knights here." Blaize smiled.
Figarland stepped forward, his gaze piercing as it met Blaize's. He spoke in a cold tone that echoed across the battlefield "As we suspected, you are the one behind everything, Blaize."
"Of course, it's me," Blaize admitted nonchalantly. "Is there anyone else in the world who opposes the World Government as openly as I do? I thought I made it abundantly clear."
He continued, "You shouldn't have come here, leaving your sanctum Mary Geoise."
Figarland sneered with disdain, "Hmph... who do you think you are? Do you fancy yourself a god? You are nothing but a dog we raised, and we can put you down whenever we see fit."
"Is that so?" Blaize's gaze narrowed while the air grew thick with mighty coercion.
"Blaize-san is terrifying!" Jax exclaimed, wiping the sweat forming on his brow.
"Don't let your guard down," Sabo cautioned, "The other God's knights are here. One misstep, and we're finished."
"I don't think that's necessary," Akira chimed in. "Their attention seems completely fixated on Blaize-san."
"Do it," Figarland commanded. Hearing his command, the other two God Knights, Death Knight and Evening Knight Lyra Nox attacked Blaize simultaneously.
At the same time, Figarland lunged forward, his sword gleaming with flashes of black lightning streaks. With a swift move, he appeared before Blaize and aimed a powerful slash directly at him.
However, to the astonishment of everyone present, the sword stopped inches away from Blaize, as if striking an invisible wall. Figarland's eyes narrowed in surprise.
He concentrated his entire strength into his sword, but no matter how much force he exerted, the blade didn't move an inch.
"It's futile," Blaize playfully mocked. "You can't touch me."
It was at that moment, that Death Knight and Evening Knight Lyra flanked Blaize with their own attacks but similar to Figarland their attacks stopped inches away from Blaize.
"Is that all you've got?" Blaize taunted in a calm voice. "I expected more from the so-called Supreme Commander and noble God knights."
No matter how much strength and Haki they exerted, it didn't change a thing.
"What kind of power is this? Why aren't we able to touch him?" Evening Knight Lyra exclaimed in a soft voice. "If it were a Devil Fruit power, it could be countered by Haki, but this is different."
"No wonder the Five Saints said he has the power to destroy the world! He's strong." the Death Knight commented solemnly.
Unlike the other two God knights, Figarland felt something abnormal when he attacked. His slash didn't come to a complete stop but instead, it slowed down to the point that seemed like it stopped.
To confirm his theory, Figarland launched another series of rapid slashes, but each time, his sword would stop just inches away from Blaize as if hitting an invisible wall.
"Enough," Blaize said, "Don't you see it's useless!"
The invisible barrier that stopped the attacks of the God's Knights was none other than Blaize's newly acquired technique, 'Limitless: Infinity,' obtained through the last lottery draw.
As if understanding their doubt and thought, Blaize began to patiently explain. "What you felt is an 'Infinity'. It creates an infinite space between me and others making it impossible for any attacks to reach me.
In simple sentence, your attacks slow down and never reach me. Now, how are you going to deal with me? I'm curious!"
Meanwhile, Dragon, Sabo, Jax, Akira, and others on the Revolutionary side were in awe after hearing it.
"Is it a Devil Fruit power?" Akira inquired.
"I doubt it. It feels different," Dragon mused, his expression thoughtful as he observed Blaize.
"As expected of Blaize-san... His abilities are truly remarkable," Sabo remarked, his tone tinged with admiration.
"Don't be so cocky!" Figarland's voice carried a tone of anger as an intense surge of Haoshoku Haki erupted around him, crackling with power.
A complex magic circle materialized beneath his feet, its intricate design pulsating with ominous energy. These circles bore a pentagram at their center, with five identical symbols adorning the space between their jags.
'This is..." Blaize looked at the magic circle closely. 'Isn't this the summoning circle used by the Five Elders? Even Figarland can do this!'
