Chapter 214: The Strongest
The day turned dusk; the sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun.
The battle between Blaize and Whitebeard intensified, with both parties giving their best to overpower the other. As a result, a series of earth-shattering explosions rang around, disturbing heaven and earth.
"Damn it! What's happening? We can't go near nor we can perceive anything with our observation Haki." The 7th Division commander, Rakuyo, gritted his teeth.
"Is it because of Conqueror's Haki?" The 13th Division commander quizzed.
"Not just Conqueror's Haki, their extraordinary devil fruit powers and haki clash jams our senses." Marco, who's knowledgable among them, replied.
'I can't mistake this...such awe-inspiring aura. It's the breath of Oyaji during his heyday. But, how can this be?' Marco thought, knowing his father's condition better.
"What a strong Haki! Hadn't Whitebeard aged all these years?" Regis wondered aloud in shock.
'So strong...' Kuina thought while other marines watched in terror.
"Scary-ne" Kizaru standing in the bow of the ship, commented.
The Marines looked at Kizaru, who arrived a few hours before in speechlessness and thought in their heart. 'What's scary is you, Admiral Kizaru, trimming your fingernails during such a frightening battle.'
Not caring about the weird stares, Kizaru glanced at the distance battle in puzzlement and thought in his heart. 'Is the recent information inaccurate?
Whitebeard doesn't look sick! I have to inform Sengoku-san about this.'
The clash between the Blaize and Whitebeard terrified the Marines and Pirates alike. Just the shockwave alone from their battle horrified them.
In just half a day, they witnessed what was said to be Natural disasters and phenomena that may in fact cause an incomparable level of destruction if played anywhere.
1- A Megatsunami of several hundred meters in height, traversing at canon speed. After seeing such a scene, they know why Whitebeard is said to have the power to destroy the world.
2 - But what's even more ridiculous is, that Blaize, his opponent conjured a huge glowing sun that vaporized the megatsunami within seconds.
3 - The ability to tilt the seabed along with the sea. This ability of Whitebeard changed the very landscape around them.
4 - Menacing Overlord-level Haki clash nearly crushed their ships and oppressed them to the bottom of the sea.

Boom!
A huge reddish-golden Sun with extreme temperature collided against Whitbeard's Haki-covered Fist.
The resulting clash shook the world itself. Black and red bolts of lightning erupted from their clash. The crackle of untamed energies filled the air.
White film shrouded Whitebeard's fist along with Black steams of fiery energy. Waves of pulsating energy emitted from his fist.
The first wave cracked the space itself with its tyrannical destructive power and shattered the huge burning sun. The second wave with Conqueror winding dissipated whatever was left of it.
"Hehe! As expected of you, Whitebeard! You didn't disappoint me." Blaize chuckled.
After fighting for half a day, Blaize had slight scratches in some areas of his skin while Whitebeard standing opposite had scorch marks all over his skin.
His blazing hot flames left Whitebeard bare above his waist, destroying his captain's cloak and vest.
The once sea area was now completely tilted upside down by shock fruit power while the seawater within 1 km surrounding was vaporized by Blaize.
"It's been some time since I had such a hearty battle without holding back." Whitebeard laughed and thought from his heart. 'Thank you, brat.'
Blaize too was in a joyful mood, experiencing the strength of peak Whitebeard. He's completely satisfied. However, he was surprised by the latter's strength.
Skillful use of Overlord Haki and Devil Fruit's ability put him far above the others. Maybe he began grasping power as he aged but couldn't bring it out because of his age and sickness.
'He's truly a monster with a herculean physique, explosive devil fruit, and overwhelming Haki with no obvious weakness.' Blaize mused.
If his Haki hadn't broken past the '80' bar limit, their battle may have ended without any results.
On the other side, Whitebeard's thoughts were roughly the same. The haki Blaize shown was so phenomenal that even Whitebeard was amazed by it.
He even had to use all of his Haki and devil fruit power to parry the effects of the opponent's Conqueror Haki. It speaks of Blaize's strength and indomitable spirit.
'It's exactly like Roger envisioned. And, I can't be the strongest forever...' Whitebeard sighed. After a second of silence, the glow returned to his eyes.
'No...at least till I breathe my last, I have to be the strongest. For my family...' Whitebeard raised his head and looked at Blaize.
"If you want to claim my title, come with everything you got." Whitebeard brandished his weapon and roared while leaping toward Blaize.
A complete change in momentum on Whitebeard's side. And, it's what Blaize wants.
Six golden miniature suns revolving behind him burst into a sea of flames forcing Whitebeard back with extreme temperature. As Blaize clasped his hands, his flames turned bluish-white.
With a thought, the bluish flames condensed into a gigantic, humanoid avatar. First, the flames formed a skeleton, then muscle fibers that intertwined strongly, and later skin.
In no time, a colossal form that resembled Blaize to some extent stood before Whitebeard. Its head nearly touched the clouds. The ridiculous thing is, it's not final.
Several hundred hands formed behind the form carrying a bow, spear, and miniature burning orbs.
"Fuck..." One of the Whitebeard pirates cursed with his mouth wide open.
"hahaha..." Another one let out crazy laughter, losing his mind before god-like power.
"Is this something that humans can accomplish?" A marine soldier muttered.
Forget about others, even Whitebeard was stunned for a second before regaining his spirit.
Even with his formidable strength, it's taking a toll on Blaize to exert every ounce of his devil fruit power and maintain the colossal form. It has to be done to show his full power to the world and Whitebeard.
