Chapter 142 - Haoshoku Infusion

Morning,

Blaize recovered to his peak state while all his injuries completely healed after resting for a few hours and even beings like Garp and Kuzan were amazed by the speed of regeneration.

As for the other Marine soldiers, they knew dumbfounded as they know how severely Blaize was injured. They thought it would take 10 to 15 days for him to recover completely.

The first thing in the morning, Blaize went to find Garp for some tips. He knew the latter isn't good at teaching but he's good with his Fist and that's what he wants.

Surprisingly, this time Garp didn't hit him like always. Under Blaize's instruction, the marine ship found an uncharted island some kilometers away from their location.

Then, Garp and Blaize landed on the island while Kuzan, Regis, Rosinante, and Kuina accompanied them.

"Brat, are you ready?" Garp asked knuckling his fist. Unlike other times he had a solemn expression. Blaize wondered, 'Is it because he's going to beat me seriously this time?'

"I am ready!" Blaize nodded his head and took a deep breath.

He knew about Haoshoku or Conqueror's Haki Infusion before, he even asked Old man Magnus to teach him but the latter stated it can't be taught.

Only after his battle with Kaido, he realized the meaning behind his words. Haki is nothing but 'Willpower' of oneself, but it gets complicated divided into three types.

Not everyone is capable of utilizing Conqueror's Haki because they are not worthy or simply their willpower in itself isn't strong enough.

Utilizing Conqueror's Haki is similar to Armament Haki but at the same time, different. Unlike Armament Haki that's trained and stems from Willpower, Conqueror's haki is just sheer Willpower itself.

So, Blaize disregarded all the complex things and went to the basics. Upon concentrating, Haki or just pure willpower flowed to his right arm and coated his fist.

Streams of dark purple energy emanated from Blaize's arm. Seeing this, Garp grinned. "You still have a long way to go!"

With a thrust to his leg, Garp shot forward and punched his fist that sparkled in purple lightning while Blaize did the same.

"Boom!"

Their fist didn't even touch but the impact itself generated a stream of black lightning followed by a powerful shockwave that destroyed everything in its path.

As for Kuzan, Regis, Rosinante, and Kuina they were pushed back not by the shockwave but by the overwhelming pressure brought down by the two Conqueror's haki users clash.

The clouds above didn't split or divide because the sky is clear blue with no clouds!!

"Their fist isn't even touching?" Kuina exclaimed aloud as this is her first time witnessing something like this while Regis and Rosinante watched with their eyes wide open.

"This is the power of Conqueror's Haki." Kuzan sighed and shook his head. This is why the Marines try to eliminate Haoshoku users before they realize the full potential and what they are capable of.

Blaize and Garp battled for another two hours before ending it. After all, if they go all out, their fight would go on for days. They don't have that much time on hand to waste.

Besides, Blaize wanted to fight Garp to understand the use of Conqueror haki and familiarize himself with the use of advanced Observation Haki: Future Sight.

Marine Headquarters,

Blaize and his unit reached the Headquarters around noon after sailing for another few hours.

As soon as their ship reached Marineford, and when Blaize stepped down from the ship he got goosebumps. Because the way everyone looked at him felt creepy and weird.

But, in those eyes, he sensed deep respect and admiration. 'What's happening?'

What he didn't know is, his battle against Kaido has spread far and wide. Around GarndLine and New World, there are not many people who don't know his name.

Furthermore, today's news is all about him. The Newspaper with the title 'Strongest Marine' has spread the whole world that soared his fame to another level.

When Blaize inquired the Marine soldier about what happened, he found the reason and how his battle was watched by everyone at the Headquarters.

Blaize's heart warmed a little as he understands what kind of influence it would have on the soldiers and how it would raise his reputation among the top-level Marine officers.

In truth, he needs this kind of influence right now as he intends to separate the Marines from World Government control. He needs to thank Sengoku for his trust.

Blaize then went to meet Sengoku to describe the encounter with Kaido and give the Devil fruit he obtained from King.

Fleet Admiral Office,

"It's a Dragon Dragon fruit Model: Allosaurus. No wonder Kaido showed interest, he tries to create an Army made of Zoan type users. Many rare kinds of Zoan fruit are eaten by his subordinates." Sengoku stored the Devil fruit and asked,

"What do you think of Yonko's strength?"

"Strong. He's unbelievably strong! Compared to him, Crystal is very weak, he isn't even fit for the title of 'weakest among the Four Emperors'." Blaize replied.

"Crystal Pirates have their own use. I know you have enmity against them but if you go and kill them it will create unnecessary Chaos so wait for some time."

"I promise you, Sengoku-san I won't go out of my way to destroy them but if they cross my path I can't guarantee it." Blaize gave his word.

"Ok. I appreciate it. You have been promoted to the ranks of Vice-Admiral, taking your strength and merits into account.

I hope you make use of your position wisely and bring justice to the world that's spread with criminals and pirates."

"Yes!"

"I know you just came back but there's something that I need your help with. You have to make another trip to Amazon Lily. I planned to gather the Seven Warlords for a small meeting.

Since this is their first time, I don't think they would come to Marineford so I arranged it on Sabaody archipelago."

"No Problem, Sengoku-san. It's more like a vacation to me." Blaize chuckled while Hancock's figure appeared in his mind.
