Chapter 105 - Blaize Vs Speed - 3
Susanoo's upper half stood haughtily, covered in golden layers of solar energy while a long sword materialized in its right hand and miniature sun formed on its left hand.
Blaize glanced at Speed and gestured with his sword. "Come!"
His actions angered Speed but he isn't someone who let his emotions judge his reasoning. Since his opponent is so confident there has to be a reason for it.
Besides, he senses a bad vibe from that golden humanoid thing. Speed doesn't like the way the battle is progressing and his opponent is stronger than he anticipated.
He had to admit that he somewhat underestimated the Marines; only slightly.
Noticing Speed's hesitation to attack, Blaize smirked and waved his sword a little before he swung it towards Speed, who was ready to evade the attack with his speed.
"Divine Slash: Crescent of the Sun!"
From his sword that's purely made of solar energy, a half-circle golden slash, like a horizontal crescent. It flew straight towards Speed aiming to cleave him into two.
Though the strike may look casual, Blaize swung the sword at incredible speed with overwhelming power.
At first, Speed didn't think much about the plain slash but when it neared him he sensed the destructive power behind it. He reacted quickly and flexed his upper body backward to the level of his waist.
'ZZZZZ!'
The half-crescent traveled past him and cleaved the mountain behind him into two. The force behind the didn't stop there, it flew further and sliced everything in its way.
'Fuck!' Speed cursed. He was nearly hacked by the slash. Still, he was unfazed by the attack and even took the initiative to attack Blaize.
It's understandable. After all, he possesses the color of supreme King. Even though it's not as strong as top users, his will can't be easily crushed.
Speed charged at Susanoo, unafraid, while his momentary is long gone. Blaize too didn't wait for Speed to near him, he attacked.
The Miniature sun in his left hand rotated at great speed and fired countless bullets. Within a second nearly a thousand bullets shot at Speed while the miniature in Blaize's hand disappeared.
The bullets fired are of great speed with a high temperature and they even exploded upon contact. And, Blaize fired them predicting Speed's movements with observation Haki.
So, Speed has a hard time trying to dodge the bullets. Still, it didn't stop him from charging forward; he was like a wild beast.
Speed evaded most of them but few bullets found the mark and hit him. As the bullets are made of pure solar energy, they had a high temperature and exploded when they came in contact with Speed's Haki.
Though Speed shielded his body with Haki, the bullets harmed him to some extent. Blaize had to admit his opponent is as crazy as him and quite brave.
Arriving before the golden armored Susanoo, Speed punched without holding his strength. A huge amount of Haki flew from his fist and slammed against the outer layer of the Susanoo.
"Bang!"
Speed once again used the advanced Haki concept: Internal destruction but Blaize who was behind the armor didn't feel a thing as the Haki dispersed before it could reach him.
Speed was astonished; that thing is quite hard then he anticipated. How was he supposed he break such a thing and injure the person inside it?
A thought came to him. 'Should he retreat?'.
Blaize didn't give his opponent the time to ponder, he took the initiative and attacked. Time passed, as they both fought with intensity and whatever they had up their sleeve.
As they exchanged blows, Blaize utilized the opportunity to restore his lost physical strength and Haki while absorbing the energies from the Sun.

Meanwhile, Kuzan and Luke on the frozen sea. Their battle isn't much different as they too were fighting with their life on the line.
Luke is physically strong but Kuzan is stronger than him when it comes to Haki, Haki reserve, and devil fruit ability. Luke won't hold on for much longer, if Speed doesn't come for his aide soon, he will lose.
But, it doesn't seem to bother Luke much as he enjoys fighting.
The ones who survived the conqueror's Haki clash and conscious watched the battle from the sidelines. They were completely awed by the battle powers displayed by Blaize.
Kuina and Regis were also among them. Especially Kuina, she was amazed. She didn't expect Blaize to be this powerful, a sword slashing the mountain into two. Her eyes gleamed in excitement.
The pirates were on the verge of losing the battle. Using the chance, the Marine Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals ganged upon Vulken and Jasper.

Morning turned Noon,
Speed was nearly exhausted trying to crush the humanoid thing. He knew his opponent is using this move to deplete his Haki and physical energy.
But, Speed is confident in his devil fruit power. There's a reason why he's called 'Uncatchable Speed' by others. When he decides to retreat, no one can catch him.
And, Speed knew the time for retreat has come. He has severely underestimated the Marine and his opponents. The outcome would have been different if he used a different approach.
Most of the pirates in his crew were already apprehended. If he wastes any more time trying to break this thing, it won't do them any good.
But what he doesn't know is, Blaize is waiting for this opportunity. From the very start, he knew he can't defeat Speed so prepared a plan as he fought.
It's time to use it.
