The Power of Sun - 2

"Let me restore your strength to your peak!! Then, we can have a good fight!" Blaize spoke by spreading his arms.

Whitebeard raised his eyebrows, it's not like he hasn't heard of such things as healing fruit or something similar but such things are rare, protected, and difficult to encounter.

'Let's see what of trick this brat has!' Whitebeard thought and gave the cue to proceed.

Blaize smiled and joined his hands, with thumbs and index fingers forming a diamond shape. As he did that, golden spots of light gathered at the center of the diamond pattern hands.

Within a few seconds, the gathered source amassed into pure golden energy. The energy exuded the power of endless vitality and divine glow.

Whitebeard at the distance gripped his weapon sensing some kind of otherworldly energy from the ping pong ball-sized golden energy.

A strong hunch or more like a carving sensation arose in his heart, screaming at him by consuming that energy he would return to his peak and attain his lost strength. As a strong man with willpower, he controlled his impulses.

Glancing at Whitebeard's gleaming eyes, Blaize smirked. Of course, he would feel it. The golden energy was formed with the help of his devil fruit by absorbing solar and Natural energy.

It has a strong healing effect! Prolonged use can even cure dark diseases and increase life expectancy.

"How is it, Whitebeard? If you are not afraid, you can accept this power." Blaize asked. "It will rejuvenate your dead cells and vitalize your body. Your old disease will disappear in a jiffy."

As someone who traveled the seas, and saw the world and people's hearts, Whitebeard has a keen sense when it comes to judging a person's character.

(Of course, his sons are different he trusts them blindly to the point of getting stabbed in the back)

So, he didn't worry the Marine brat would resort to tricks just to harm him; his opponent already had chances for that.

"Gulalala, Why do you think I would reject such an excellent offer, brat?" Whitebeard laughed in a carefree manner.

With Blaize's thought, the golden energy flew towards Whitebeard.

"Let me state somethings clear. This thing won't heal your disease completely. After some days, your old wounds will bounce back once this energy dissipates.

And, it won't make you younger but will make you strong by restoring your strength to your peak! It was also temporary."

As he made things clear, the golden ball of energy reached Whitebeard, passed through his skin, and went into his heart. Reaching the heart, they diffused into countless golden specks.

In a few seconds, Whitebeard began to feel the change. He inhaled deeply and let his breath out. The painful and clogging sensation every time he breathed had gone away.

Clenching his fist, he felt the power coursing through his body. 'The same old feeling...how many years has it been!'

It was exhilarating to feel his peak strength once again without any blockade and to control everything in his palm.

Standing opposite, Blaize felt the change in Whitebeard's aura. Even his appearance underwent a drastic change, brimming with energy and vigor.

When he clenched his fist, Blaize even felt a minute shaking in the atmosphere. Just from aura alone, he could feel the overwhelming strength possessed by Whitebeard.

'Such power... He's indeed qualified to be called the strongest person in the world.' Blaize's eyes flashed in excitement.

If he's not wrong, Whitebeard's Shock fruit should have been awakened long ago. Only someone who awakened his shock fruit can use the powers with such proficiency.

And, Whitebeard hadn't shown his full potential in the Summit War due to his illness, aging, etc., or simply because he did not want to destroy the Marienford who had Ace.

The moves he displayed: Cracking air to release shock waves, the concentrated release of shockwaves using Quake Buble, or grabbing the air to shift the plates.

None of them are simple moves that can be displayed without awakening the fruit.

"What happened? I can't sense Pop's situation with Haki...what about you Marco?" Diamond Jozu asked.

"Me too. I think the flame blocks our senses from outside." Marco replied. He wasn't too worried as he believes in his Oyaji's strength.

The other Division commanders of Whitebeard Pirates aren't that worried too.

On the Marine's side, Regis and Kuina who are Haki users can't sense the situation like Whitebeard pirates.

"Such a gifted ability...Pity, you are on the World Government's side. Whitebeard sighed and brandished his weapon "Since you gave me such a gift, it's only etiquette that I return something of greater value."

"Good! But, you are wrong about one thing. I'm from the Marines, not World Government." Blaize showed contempt when he mentioned the World Government.

"Gulalala...I see. You are similar to that bastard Garp. No wonder you disappeared for some years. The World Government did something, haven't they?" Whitebeard asked.

"I didn't recover your strength for a chat. Show me what you got, Newgate-u!!" Blaize taunted with his words and teleported before Whitebeard.

"You brat..." Only his friends and someone equal in strength would call him by his name.

Before the other party could react, a punch hit him squarely in the face and knocked him back.

Enraged, Whitebeard shouted: "Endless Shock!!" His body was covered in a quake bubble before bursting into a powerful shockwave that destroyed everything in its path.

With him as a center, a myriad of pulsating energy traveled outward. Blaize flame domain weathered a few shockwave attacks before falling to the shock fruit power.

The boundless flames with high temperatures within a kilometer radius died down and disintegrated into nothingness by shock energy.

Balling his fist, Whitebeard punched charging it with quake power and further enhancing them with Haki.

'Crack!' The air cracked and blasted into crushing force with overwhelming power.

On the other side, Blaize delivered an equally destructive punch that was armed with the power of the sun and Armament Haki.

"Boom!" The clash between the two strongest people in the world intimidated heaven itself. The weathered changed, as ominous black clouds covered the sky and released a sudden shower with fiery purple lightning flashes.

The pirates and marines watching from the distance were scared out of their wits by the sudden change.

"What the fucks happening there?" They wondered.
