The Firestorm enveloped Ridge's figure illuminating him completely with fire. When his body touched the ground, his skin was completely melted while his flesh region had burn wounds.
The astonishing thing, he still breathes though knocked unconscious by the strike.
"Captain!" The Demonbear pirates rushed forward while some tried to attack Blaize but all of them were blasted off to distance by his powerful heat breath.
As for Glave, he was blocked by Gion. Since he was at the end of the line, Glave fought with his all not even caring about his life.
"Die! Die! Die!" Screaming, he furiously swung his hatchets sending powerful wind blades at Gion with a crazed look.
The only thing in his mind right now is to eliminate the obstacle before him and go help his Captain, Ridge. So, his strikes were ferocious and wild, striving to heavily injure Gion.
Seeing this, Blaize was unhappy. 'I shouldn't have shown him mercy!'. He wanted to use Glave to temper Gion's sword skills as the former possess the power of slash-slash fruit.
A perfect devil fruit ability to enhance Gion's sword skills but he didn't expect Glave to be slightly stronger than Gion.
'Well, Gion should have already grasped her weakness. It's time to end their fight!' Thinking through, Blaize thought and few bullets actualized before him out of extreme heat.
Waving his hand, he fired the bullets towards Glave who was some distance away from him. As he was fighting Gion, he didn't foresee the attack.
The heat bullets curved in mid, avoiding Gion they struck Glave; two bullets hit his legs, two struck his rib area while another two struck his shoulders.
The sudden attack forced Glave to take a step back and created an opening for Gion. Sword has no eyes, though Gion noticed the abnormality she couldn't hold his sword from mercilessly hacking Glave.
'Slash!'
Blood splattered! A huge gash appeared on Glave stretching from his right chest to lower abdomen.
Thud!
Forced to his knees, Glave spat a mouthful of blood. Soon his consciousness plunged into darkness while his body collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Gion turned and death glared at Blaize as if she wants to kill him with her eyes while Blaize just showed her an apologetic smile.
A true sword user hates their battle to be interrupted, Gion is that kind of person. But Blaize can't let her drag this battle any longer.
At that moment, the system notification sounded in his ears.
[~ Ding...
Destroyed DemonBear Pirates: Captain Ridge and his crew.
Reward: 1.0 Constitution+ 1.0 Devil Fruit Potential+ 1.0 Free attribute point ~]
Blaize's lips curved a little seeing the reward. 'As I thought the reward varies according to the pirate's strength and bounty.'
Wasting no time, he checked his attribute panel.
[~ Name: Blaize Hunt
Occupation: Marine
Constitution: 21.1
Devil Fruit Potential: 21.3
Haki: None
Items in storage: None
Free attribute point: 1.0 ~]
Blaize was slightly surprised to see his Devil Fruit potential raised by 0.2 points on their own. 'It looks like the attributes grow more as I use my devil power.'
As for the free attribute point, he saved it for future use.
Blaize knew he lucked out today. If Ridge had held his ground against him without transforming, he wouldn't have beaten him easily.
Unfortunately, the Full bear form granted by this fruit enhanced Ridge's frame making him an easy target.
Though the devil fruit granted him unparalleled strength and solid defense, it decreased his speed and prompt reaction leaving him unable to dodge Blaize's high-speed attack.
He would have been a tough opponent in the future after he learns to use Haki perfectly. After all, his devil fruit is similar to Jack's Zou Zou no mi Model: Mammoth.
Regrettably, he was defeated by Blaize and will be soon sent to Impel down.
Gion walked towards Blaize with an angry face and asked, "Why did you interrupt the fight, is it because you thought I would lose?!"
"Of course not! I want to you conserve your strength! We have a company." Saying this, Blaize gazed in a particular direction.
Following his sight, Gion saw a pirate ship with red sun hovering outside the Fishman District. "The Sun Pirates...Why did they come here?"
"The Fishman District is their home, and do you think they will just stand by and watch some human pirates kidnapping their fellow brothers and sisters!" Blaize replied.
The arrival of Sun pirates came as no surprise to him as he knew they will come. In the original series, most of the human pirate crews were wiped out by their hands.
Naturally, there's communication between them and residents of Fishman District. If something happens, they will be here to save the day most of the time.
Even if Blaize wasn't here today, the Sun pirates would have definitely stopped the DemonBear pirates from running amok.
Blaize saw some familiar faces on the ship: Fisher Tiger, Jinbei, Arlong, Hatchan, Aladhine, Chew, and others.
'Fisher Tiger...!' Blaize mumbled in his heart. He respects his courage and decision to free the slaves from the World Nobles.
Aside from having resentment against the human, he's a great character. In the original series, he will die in three years. 'Such a pity! Since I am here, let's change that for fun!'
"Shahahaha! Fishman District looks lively today. But, we don't need a human to save us!" Springing up from the ship, Arlong dashed towards Blaize.
"Wait...Arlong!" Jinbei tries to stop Arlong but he didn't heed his words.
"Arlong, huh." Blaize squinted his eyes a little while his lips curved a little.
He knew very well about Arlong and his character. He is an extremely confident and arrogant person in nature while thinking Fishmen are the superior race.
"You human scums are the most that I hate in this world. Let me show you the Terror of Fishmen!" Noticing Blaize's calm look, Arlong was further enraged. "Your very existence is an inexcusable crime. I sentence you to death."
Arlong's hatred for humans is engraved deep in his bones. He craves to instill fear in the humans and let the world know Fishmen aren't to be messed with. His ambition is great but the path he chose is the wrong one.
