The crisis that Kaido sensed isn't a mistake, as soon as the golden-bluish Sun popped, it didn't generate any form of explosion or flames but something weird happened.

The space itself shook and twisted as the air around the surrounding sucked to a single spot before they contracted further. Finally, a small spark occurred in the core.

A gentle ripple of death spread, covering nearly everything within one kilometer before it happened. A terrifying power burst out before they mutated into flames of mass destruction.

"Boom!"

A huge mushroom cloud raised to 200 meters in the sky, blooming the entire sky red. Followed by the explosion is a devastating shockwave of extreme heat that spread in all directions.

Kuzan's ice field evaporated in an instant along with the seawater below, revealing the bottom of the sea.

--

"Ah!"

The Marine soldiers on the ship screamed as the entire ship was tossed into the sky, along with them. Some were even brought in the air and thrown off from the ship but were saved by Kuzan.

The ship went down as the entire sea below them had evaporated and hit the ocean bed, stupefying everyone as they all looked around.

Regis, Rosinante, Kuina, and Kuzan looked dumbly at the mushroom cloud, and then down at the seafloor, they just crashed in unbelievable expression. 'Did the sea just disappear?"

For the first time, they understood Blaize isn't simple as seen on the surface and underestimated him severely. The momentum of the battle was even stronger than when they faced Crystal pirates.

"Aokiji-san, look there!" Regis and Kuina screamed at the same time.

In the distance, the parted sea came crashing down again. They nearly forgot the fact that they were standing in the middle of the sea.

Kuzan leaped high in the air while an ice shard extended from both his hands. As soon as they touched the water, they iced the entire sea again. He knew it won't hold for longer, considering the scale of the battle.

--

As for Kaido who was just a few meters away from the center of the explosion, felt the full brunt of it. A powerful, disastrous force of heat blazed his entire dragon form.

The extreme flame even scorched his impervious scales and hurt him. Even, he, who takes pride in his tough physique and is called the strongest creature in the world, was forced to use Haki at the last moment.

Otherwise, the explosion and the flames would have injured him heavily. He was shocked by the power Blaize had shown.

"That hurts..." Kaido's voice came from the cloud of debris and mist as he returned to his human form.

Blaize frowned a little as his attack failed to inflict the damage he expected but it's mostly because he couldn't control it well and let it explode before it could reach Kaido.

Even though he knew about Kaido's impenetrable defense, he was still astonished seeing it in person. Furthermore, he could sense his Haki is very powerful.

As the mist faded, Kaido's human appearance came into full view. He stood close to 23 feet in height and wore a purple full-sleeved shirt with baggy pants of gray-green color.

He looked imposing with a stern face while a massive pair of gray-white, sharp-pointed horns come out of the sides of his head.

He held his weapon, a large, black, spiked kanabo that rested on his right shoulder while he wiped the blood that trickled from the corner of his lips with his left hand.

"You got some spirit and strong devil fruit!" Kaido grinned.

The next moment, Blaize's expression changed as he hurriedly crossed his arms over his chest while the six small miniature suns transformed into armor and encased his arms.

"Bang!"

Despite his enormous size, Kaidou's figure crossed nearly a hundred meters in an instant and appeared before Blaize as he swung his Kanabo with devastating force.

"Raimei Hakke!"

A visible trail of dark lightning exuded from his weapon, indicating he imbued his weapon with both Conqueror and Armament haki.

His overpowering attack collided against Blaize's armored arms. 'Crack!' The defense Blaize created with the devil fruit power and Haki shattered as the spiked Kanabo hit the arms.

But before Blaize was smashed away, innumerable flaming Fist extended from the large miniature Suns behind him and punched Kaido. As the attacks had advanced Haki, they bypassed Kaido's defense.

Even Kaido didn't expect that his opponent would strike at this moment.

Blaize figure was cannoned far away and crashed into ice wall frozen by Kuzan while Kaido too flew back, knocked by innumerable fists at the same time that had advanced Haki.

Marine Headquarters,

With their mouths wide-open, everyone present in the Marineford watched the earth-shattering battle between the Blaize and Kaido. Some clenched their fists with burning passion in their eyes.

Among the crowd were some familiar figures like Smoker, Hina, and other trainers who met Blaize before. They just came to the Headquarters finishing their training.

At that moment, Blaize's figure was deeply rooted in countless Marine's minds while their respect for him grow deeper. They all knew that someone stronger than Admirals has appeared in their ranks.

Without his knowing, Blaize's fame spread while his standing improved.

--

Blaize coughed a mouthful of blood, struggling to rise to his feet as he couldn't feel his arms. When he looked at them, he saw a dent in his left while his right arm was crooked to an unknown degree.

Kaido used everything in the strike. In a way, it's his full-powered attack as it was imbued with the conqueror's haki.

His arms shined in golden light before they showed signs of healing, visible to the naked eye. In a matter of seconds, his arms recovered to their original state.

Blaize didn't use his Senju vitality to heal the injuries as it would drain his physical strength. Facing Kaido, it's not a good idea to fatigue himself.

His eyes flashed recalling Kaido's strike. 'So this what it feels like when struck by a weapon imbued with Conqueror's Haki. It's really powerful!'

If it's any other person in his place, they would have lost their consciousness against this overwhelming power. Even Blaize would have been seriously injured if he had failed to block it.
