"We have nothing against each other, why do you hellbent on destroying us with no chances of survival?" Brady asked, gasping for breath.
He couldn't understand the reason. The surviving crewmates also looked at Blaize, waiting for his answer.
Blaize hovered in mid-air, gazing at the wretched pirates without an ounce of pity. "There's no reason. I just find your pirate crew unpleasant to the eyes. I hope the answer satisfied your curiosity!"
Answering the question, Blaize stretched his right hand and shot a compressed heat at Brady, burning him alive. He increased the temperature slowly so that he would have a good time.
Looking at the horrifying scene of their captain being melted alive, the pirates were scared out of their wits. 'Demon...he's definitely a sea demon!'
All of them swam at high speed and flew in different directions, hoping to get away from Blaize before the latter could target them.
Blaize didn't bother about the scattered weaklings as they can't escape from him in the open sea. He isn't going to spare any of them.
Burning Brady to ashes, Blaize closed his eyes and released his heat sense which spread in every direction. His current range is only 500 meters but it's more than enough to take care of the weaklings.
His senses soon locked onto every one of the surviving pirates. In front of him, countless bullets made of extreme heat actualized. Targeting the running pirates, Blaize fired the bullets with his thought.
All of them pierced the pirates' heads, eliminating them in one move. Just like that, the Scourge pirates who had a total bounty of 65 million Berries were annihilated from the faces of the world.
At that moment, the system notification sounded in his ears.
[~ Ding...Marine Reward panel unlocked.
Destroyed Scourge Pirate Captain Brady and his crew.
Reward: 0.5 Constitution+ 0.5 Devil Fruit Potential ~]
'What?' Blaize was startled for a moment. 'It means destroying the pirates also yield reward from the system. Is '0.5' final or it differ based on the pirate bounty?'
Blaize then checked his attribute panel.
[~ Name: Blaize Hunt
Occupation: Marine
Constitution: 18.8 [Strength: 18.9, Speed: 18.8]
Devil Fruit Potential: 19.0
Haki: None
Items in storage: None
Free attribute point: 1.5 ~]
'Wonderful...I am just 1 point away from breaking past the '20' bar limit'. Blaize mused happily. Gazing at his current free attributes, he has the sudden urge to raise his devil fruit potential point to 20.
He won't mistake the feeling. He was sure that raising the attribute to '20' will further unlock his devil fruit powers.
After pondering for a moment, Blaize used '1' free attribute points on the Devil fruit potential attribute and directly increased it to '20'.
As soon as he did that, a qualitative change happened deep in his body. From the outside, there was no change but he could feel it.
He couldn't describe it in words, it's like something confining him till now has been broken. From deep within him, an explosive power erupted.
Blaize's entire body shined in golden energy while dark-orange heat originated from within him and expanded for half a kilometer. The sea below him boiled and turned bright red under extreme heat.
The temperature of the heat released by Blaize, at the moment, is at least a few times powerful than the previous heat temperature.
In no time, the dark-orange heatwave transformed into a reddish-orange flame. With him as the center, the entire sea burned. Around half a kilometer, there was nothing but flames.
Make no mistake, Blaize wasn't generating the flames nor he has the ability but under extreme heat, the heatwave's appearance resembles fire.
In fact, the word 'fire' shouldn't be used here because it's not even fire, but superior 'Heat manipulation'. The change in density and raise in temperature is the reason for this change.
Blaize who was feeling the changes in his body slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the flame expanse before him. With a slight chuckle, he restrained his devil fruit power.
The flames around him vanished. Only then it struck him, he was floating in the air and left with no boat to sail.
'It looks like I have to run the entire way, again!' Blaize sighed while taking out his log pose. Thankfully, his Log Pose locked onto the next island before he left the outlaw town.
Just as he prepared to leave, an elderly voice entered his ears. 'Boy, come this way!'
"Who?" Blaize looked around startled but failed to spot another soul. He was sure the Voice came from the north-east direction but there was no one as far as his eyes could see.
It bewildered him and at the same time, terrified him a little. What soothed him is, he didn't sense any kind of maliciousness in the voice.
The voice had nothing but calmness. The other party piqued his interest since there's no danger he has no reason to be afraid.
Blaize shot towards the direction the voice came. At first, he thought he would meet the other party in another one or two kilometers but he failed to see anyone.
He traveled, traveled, and traveled for nearly 10 kilometers before seeing a region surrounded by fumes, in the middle of the sea.
'Don't tell me, the owner of the voice is staying inside the fumes? But how can he communicate with someone 10 km away from him, is it related to his devil fruit?' Blaize thought and moved forward.
High temperature assaulted him once he neared the island. What startled him is, the further he traveled the greater the temperature became.
Blaize is an exception. If it was any other person in his place, they won't survive as the temperature reached an unbearable level.
Once he entered the fume-covered region, he saw an Island spread with volcanic mountains and lava rivers covered most of the Island. The extreme heat on the island didn't affect Blaize in any way as he's immune to heat. Even so, he couldn't visualize how someone could live here.
At that moment, an elderly man with a hunchback figure appeared before his eyes. He looked thin, feeble with shaky hands carrying a metal stick for support.
'What the fuck?' Blaize uttered in his heart as he didn't expect to meet a dying old man here.
