Chapter 199: Arrival of Admiral Akainu
A few days had passed since Blaize came to Sabaody Island,
His short encounter with Rayleigh has created a stir that alerted both the Marines and the World Government. Both powers have sent people to look into the situation.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything as Spade Pirates left Sabaody while Blaize and Rayleigh concealed their presence.
After a long wait, four celestial dragons came to Sabaody! Seeing this, Blaize smirked. 'Finally!'
He didn't recognize the ones who came as there were many Celestial Dragon families residing on Mary Geoise. But, looking at their arrogant and self-righteous countenance, he knew it didn't matter which family they were from.
Like other world nobles, they had resin bubbles over their heads, preventing them from breathing the air of the common people. Wherever they went, people dropped to their knees and bowed their heads.
'Nothing has changed. Degenerates!' Blaize sighed and looked at the World Government agents following them. They were nothing special!
'It's time to start!'
Out of nowhere, Blaize's figure materialized before the Celestial Dragons who were strolling the street. His sudden appearance alerted the world government agents who were guarding them openly and secretly.
"Who is he? Didn't he know they are World Nobles?" The kneeling people thought aloud.
"What is he trying to do? I hope we don't get implicated in the mess he's going to create!"
Before the World Government agents could react and World Nobles could throw cursing words at him, an indescribable pressure of gravity crashed upon them.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the four World Nobles and World Government agents within a 1-meter radius were squashed into a pulpy blood mass.
It took a second for everyone present at the scene to come out of their daze and respond. Looking at Blaize, they involuntarily gulped before fleeing the place.
"Run! Run! Run! This man killed the Celestial Dragons. An Admiral will soon show up on Sabaody. If the world government found we were at the scene, we won't be spared!"
As Blaize didn't kill every single world government agent, it didn't take long for someone to report the situation.
Ignoring scampering people and terror-stricken World Government agents, Blaize walked towards the fruit store nearby and grabbed a green apple.
He sat in the chair placed outside the store before taking a bite. His casual attitude stunned the world government agents and some fearless people who watched everything from a distance.

Marine Headquarters,
"What? Damn!" Sengoku slammed the table and stood from his seat with evident anger on his face.
'He's the same person Hawkeye encountered a few weeks back. He disappears for a short time but the next thing he does after his appearance is kill the Celestial Dragon and anger the World Government.
'What is his purpose? Is he from Revolutionary? Who is he?' Sengoku thought.
Recalling his call with the Five Elders, he rubbed his forehead in annoyance. The World Government wants to send its entire force to nab the criminal.
It doesn't matter what the other party's motive is, his actions were clear provocation toward the Marines. To maintain justice, they must either capture or kill him at all costs.
If they fail, what will the world think? Their failure in eliminating the Celestial Dragon Killer will rouse the pirates and push countless people towards the path to piracy!
"Sakazuki is on headquarters, right? Tell him to come and see me. Meanwhile, prepare a fleet and notify the available Vice-Admirals of the situation."
"Yes," The Marine officer acknowledged and left to execute the order.

It didn't take long! Admiral Akainu's arrival at Sabaody Island created panic among the residents and pirates, alike.
Who doesn't know about the fearsome reputation of Admiral Akainu? After his ascension to the Rank of Admiral, he destroyed many great pirate fleets with over 1 Billion bounties.
In the last few years, he clashed against Yonko's crew more than once and remains alive. He's considered to be the strongest Admiral among the three!
As soon as Sakazuki came to Sabaody, he found Blaize effortlessly since the other party neither attempted to run nor hide his presence.
Blaize glanced at Sakazuki. The other party looked the same as he remembered, sporting a crimson suit that was decorated with a pink rose pattern and donned a Marine cape of an Admiral.
Aside from appearance, he could tell the other party's Haki and Devil fruit powers had matured considerably. 'It seems like he would put up a decent fight!'
At the same time, Sakazuki scrutinized the disguised Blaize and snorted. "You are indeed not simple. You are obviously waiting for an Admiral to come. Who are you?"
Blaize chuckled and stood up from the seat. "It seems like it's my lucky day. I was hoping you would come! Here you are!"
Hearing the words, Sakazuki knitted his brows and asked, "What do you mea—?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Blaize arrived before Sakazuki in a flash and smacked his face. 'Bang!!' As he used Haki and gravitational power in the strike, the punch created a ripple in the air and knocked Sakazuki far away.
Sakazuki's figure streaked across the air and smashed into one of the grooves. The resulting impact even shook such a massive groove a little.
'He's pretty quick in his response. He was able to cover his face with Haki at the last moment.' Blaize thought and flew towards where Sakazuki crashed.
"Ahhh!"
Before Blaize could reach, Sakazuki let out a ferocious roar and leaped into the air while the temperature around the few meters raised alarmingly as he transformed into boiling magma, ready to erupt.
'Such aggression!' Blaize shook his head.
Sakazuki is an extreme follower of Absolute Justice and unquestionably loyal to the World Government.
He holds immense pride in the name 'Marines' and won't let anyone taint its reputation. And, he knows what will happen if he fails to capture this Celestial Dragon Killer.
"Die! Volcanic Eruption!"
Sakazuki coated his Magma fist with Haki. His magma fist then expanded before rocketing forward, akin to a volcanic eruption, burning whatever lies in its path!
