Doflamingo indeed prepared for Blaize's arrival but he didn't expect the latter would come to Dressrosa so soon. And, the core part of his plan is Pica and Sugar.
But now, Pica is already dead. Right now, his only choice is to confront Blaize head-on.
Doflamingo and others on his side looked at Blaize who hovered above the huge void in the ground. They were ready to attack at any moment.
Doflamingo acted first. The fingers on both his hands moved while unseen strings assaulted Blaize from all directions. Meanwhile, the others members of Donquixote pirates too charged at him.
Blaize didn't dodge Doflamingo's strings as he wants to test how durable they are. The next second, the strings coated with Haki bound his legs and arms tightly.
"The strings are really tough, but..." Blaize mused. It's not strong enough to bind him. Anyone with Haki above Advanced level can break it with little effort.
With a little bit of strength, the strings that restrained him were shredded into pieces. At that moment, a fist packed with power banged his face forcing Blaize to tilt his head to the right.
The punch came from Machvise, who ate the Ton-Ton fruit. Well...compared to the Kilo Kilo fruit developed by Luke of Speed pirates, it's nothing as the attack didn't even tickle him.
At the same time, several inflating bullets fired by Gladius using the firing mechanism installed on his arms struck Blaize's body triggering a devastating explosion.
The series of attacks stirred the dust and debris around, clouding everyone's view. As for Blaize, he floated in mid-air unharmed.
With a thought, a golden spherical bubble wrapped his right arm, and Blaize reappeared before Machvise and punched the latter.
"Bang!"
The punch triggered a huge explosion and gave rise to a sea of flames that completely engulfed Machvise. The latter was smashed far away while his entire body was scorched black. Whether he's dead or alive no one knows.
Finishing him off, Blaize landed few feet away from the Donquixote Pirates who all stared at him vigilantly.
They could tell the man before them was powerful, extremely powerful as their all-out attacks didn't even leave a scratch on him.
Blaize smirked and thought, 'It's time to get rid of the small fries.' His eyes flashed red, while an overwhelming momentum erupted from him and send ripples in all directions.
Everything came to a standstill. Blaize's Haki affected the surrounding, the ground below him cracked, while the buildings and rocks shuddered under intense pressure.
As if provoked by something, Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki burst forth on its own and crashed against Blaize's Haki. 'Boom!' The powerful collision directly knocked Sugar, Dellinger, Baby5, and Buffalo whose will aren't powerful, unconscious.
As for other Donquixote pirates, they were tossed in the air and hurled away. Even some unlucky citizens of Dressrosa who are nearby dropped to the ground unconscious.
"It's better now," Blaize uttered, face straight and serious. "Doflamingo, are you ready?"
Saying this, Blaize's entire body flared in golden flames as if a sun deity has descended to the mortal world.
Golden bolts of lightning sparkled around him and the next moment, his figure blurred and swooshed in front of Doflamingo before sending a high-speed kick that split the air itself.
The latter swiftly coated his arms with Haki and blocked the attack. "Bang!" Doflamingo was sent back a notable distance failing to resist the power behind Blaize's attack.
Landing on his feet, he slid a few meters before stopping then looked at the scorched hands unconsciously wincing from the pain.
Doflamingo could tell Blaize didn't use any Haki, but still, the brute force from the latter broke his Haki defense. He didn't expect his physical strength to be so powerful.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed red. From his Observation Haki, he sensed Blaize's figure rapidly advancing towards him. Wasting no time, he wrapped his feet with strings, and Haki, he kicked.
Arriving before Doflamingo, Blaize threw a kick of his own imbuing it with Haki. "Bang!" Waves of haki went off into the atmosphere, golden and pink sparks whipping and resonating together upon their brief collision.
The sheer power caused a turbulent shockwave that dispersed in all directions and the earth surrounding them couldn't hold well, leaving a carter with Doflamingo and Blaize at its center.
All the citizens in the Dressrosa felt the tremor beneath their feet, making them flee their home fearing it's an earthquake.
Gion, Rosinante, Regis, and others who are appeasing and moving the residents to a safer place looked at the collision in the sky. 'Clash of the Supreme Kings!', Gion muttered.
King Riku, Violet, and other higher-ups of Dressrosa were dumbstruck by the intense battle happening somewhere away.
Back to the battle, Blaize and Doflamingo exchanged dozens of kicks while Blaize remained completely unharmed, Doflamingo is riddled with bruises.
As Doflamingo is someone who specializes in a kick-based style of combat, Blaize also only used his legs in the battle. It's fun this way!
What amazes him is Doflamingo's control over his devil fruit ability. It's extraordinary, precise, and powerful. Though the latter's Haki hadn't reached the level of Admirals, he balances it with his String-String fruit that attained the level of Admirals.
Still, Doflamingo felt powerless against Blaize who's completely beyond his league. He could tell the latter is playing with him. It angered him further. How could he not be?
Just as Blaize prepared to strike again, someone grabbed his legs. It's Senior Pink who sneaked upon him with his swim-swim fruit.
Before he could smash the latter's face, the ground he stood on began to ripple and flutter, causing him to lose his footing. He knew it's Diamante's power.
All the conscious Donquixote Pirates charged at him. Gladius fired several inflating bullets at him while Giolla tossed the thought clouds at him using her devil fruit. He also sensed Lao G coming at him from behind.
'Annoying!' Blaize muttered and took a deep breath. "Boooom!" With his as the center, a massive explosion happened that in turn drove a heatwave of high temperature in all directions, blazing anything in its path.
Doflamingo frowned and leaped back into the distance, avoiding Blaize's heatwave. As for others, they are not lucky as they all suffered the full brunt of his attack. Only Senior Pink escaped unscathed as he used his devil fruit ability and submerged into the ground.
