Chapter 234: End of Sabaody Incident
Chapter 234: End of Sabaody Incident
The straw hat group noticed Blaize seemed to know Luffy, it somewhat calmed their emotions about meeting Pacifista and the Marine Admiral.
"This bastard, why didn't he tell me he knew such a strong man?" Nami clenched her fist in anger. 'Everyone he knew is more terrifying than the last.'
Seeing the situation, Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief. 'Thankfully, he didn't come for Luffy!' With his old bones, stopping Kizaru is already his limit.
'Such an overbearing haki...' Rayleigh thought. Against someone like Blaize, he won't stand a chance. The other party's haki is as vast as an ocean.
"I don't mind letting them go since you're the one asking..." Kizaru stroked his chin, "But, how should we answer the Celestial Dragons? Marines can't lose face in front of them!"
Hearing Kizaru's words, Blaize narrowed his eyes. The next moment, terrifying coercion covered the entire Sabaody; terrorizing every living being.
The palpitating feeling came and went quickly which most people brushed off as a feeling of fear because of Admiral's arrival.
Only strong people like Kizaru and Rayleigh felt the intimidation.
"Who cares about that scumbags? If they have any qualms let them come to me." Blaize replied.
Kizaru didn't reply as he knew it was wise not to provoke Blaize.
"Admiral Kizaru, can you lift your leg? He's my rival, you know." Kuina spoke as she walked next to Zoro. She radiated with an aura of sharpness while her Marine cape rippled without any wind.
"Oh...Rear Admiral Kuina!" Kizaru slowly withdrew his leg and took a step back. "Scary-ne..."
'Why do I have the feeling of being threatened? I think it's just a misconception on my part!' Kizaru boosted himself.
Regis gulped feeling the tension in the air as he stood like a statue behind Kuina, trying not to draw any attention. 'This girl learned all the bad things from Blaize-san!'
"Kuina..." Zoro struggled to stand, but groaned in pain and crashed back, coughing up blood.
"You look weak, Zoro," Kuina commented while Zoro clenched his fist. 'Damn!'
It was at that moment PX-1 took action and opened its mouth to fire a beam at Sanji's group. Since it's a machine, it couldn't follow the situation.
"Oi Machine, stop the attack." Blaize informally ordered.
But, PX-1 didn't listen to his command and fired the light beam. Frowning slightly, Blaize casually punched the air but his punching action triggered a loud 'boom' in the air.
Then, a powerful, projectile-based air pocket kindled in blue energy was unleashed from his fist toward the Pacifista.
"Bang!"
Struck by Blaize's attack on the head, PX-1's head banged into nothingness. Without its head to provide command, its lower body crashed into the ground with an audible 'thud'.
The Straw Hats were dumbfounded, 'That's all...'
"Blaize, why did you destroy them? It's too costly to build one. How am I going to answer to that bastard punk?" Sentomaru shouted.
"It should have listened to me..." Blaize spoke as if he didn't do anything wrong.
"That's because you don't have the authority chip."
"Vegapunk should have programmed for it to listen to my command," Blaize shrugged.
"Okay everyone, the party's over here. Go home, drink some milk, and have a good rest." Blaize cleared the crowd.
"Sentomaru, let's go," Kizaru found it troublesome. 'How am I going to answer the World Nobles? It's not my problem, let Sengoku-san deal with it.'
After that, Kizaru left with Sentomaru and the Marines under his command.
"Kizaru no Ojiki, it seems we can't complete today's mission," Sentomaru commented, carrying the huge, two-edged axe, as tall as himself.
"Well...with Blaize stepping forward, I can't do anything. He isn't someone I can fight or reason with!" Kizaru casually replied, as if he didn't care.
Maybe because he saved Luffy and his group, Blaize didn't see Kuma coming to save the day.
"Blaize-u, thank you!" Luffy thanked him seriously. He knew without Blaize, his crew would have been either arrested or killed.
Accepting Luffy's gratitude, Blaize divulged the important matter. "Luffy, do you know Ace's captured by the Marines? He's going to be executed soon!"
"What?" Luffy yelled, unable to believe. He blanked.
"How is that possible, Fire Fist Ace is captured?" The rest of the Straw Hats are stunned by the news.
"Capturing Fire Fist Ace means they are picking a fight with Yonko Whitebeard!" Robin analyzed. "Marines won't do such a nonsensical thing unless..."
"Unless they decided to deal with Whitebeard. Being the resourceful general Snegoku wants to use this opportunity to stop the rampaging Pirate era and uplift the Marine's prestige in New World." Rayleigh commented.
"As expected of Dark King Rayleigh..." Blaize praised.
"I can't compare to young people like you," Rayleigh shook his head and asked, "Is the news really true?"
Though Whitebeard's old, it won't be easy to bring him down without the sacrifice of countless lives. There's a chance Marines may even fail.
"It's true! I just got info from a reliable source. Blackbeard defeated Ace and exchanged him for the position of Shichibukai." Shakky came from behind a Groove, admitting it.
"In one or two days, the news will be posted in the newspaper."
Luffy, who was silent for some time, clenched his fists and said firmly: "Everyone, I'm going to rescue Ace!"
"I know you idiot would say this but I agree with you on this." Nami supported his decision. Not just her, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Franky, Brook, and Chopper, everyone supports him.
They follow Luffy even if it's a journey to hell.
"Thank you, everyone!" Luffy smiled and said, "Let's do it!"
"Hahaha!" Blaize laughed as if he couldn't control it. "A bunch of brats who couldn't even defeat a machine wants to go against the Marines. It's so funny!"
"You..." Luffy clenched his fist as anger clouded his face.
"It may be bitter to hear but it's the truth. With your current condition and strength, you guys won't stand a chance" Rayliegh added.
"As a Marine, I helped you enough, Luffy. And, I found you a good helper. He will contact you in one or two days." Blaize uttered. "After this, you are on your own."
"Regis, Kuina, Let's go." Saying this, Blaize's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
"I hope the next time we meet, you won't be so weak, Zoro," Kuina spoke coldly and left with Regis.
.....
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
In the Fleet Admiral's Office, Sengoku ends the call with an annoyed countenance. If not for his good self-control, his anger would have destroyed the office.
"That brat Blaize, he's going to be the death of me! Doing whatever he wants, how am I going to respond to the World Government?"
After stabilizing his emotions, he called the Gorōsei...
