Chapter 268: Egghead attacked - 1
After Blaize and Madara traveled some distance, Blaize checked his reward:
[~ Task: Defeated Figarland Garling and destroyed the God's Knights, CP-0, and World Government agents.
Reward: +2.0 Free Attributes ~]
[~ Name: Blaize Hunt
Occupation: Marine
Constitution: 100 [Half God]
Devil Fruit: 96.0
Haki: 100.0
Free attribute points: 4.0 ~]
With a sense of accomplishment, Blaize allocated the 4 free attribute points to his devil fruit ability, raising it to 100.0.
As soon as he completed the enhancement, a profound sensation washed over him. His devil fruit power underwent a massive transformation. For the first time, he felt truly godlike.
Rays of golden light radiated from his body, casting a brilliant aura that extended outward, bathing the surroundings in a luminous glow.
"Finally!" At that moment, he felt like he was the sun. With a wave of his hand could summon terrifying flames capable of destroying large islands in an instant.
'With this power, I doubt even the Five Elders can withstand a move from me!'
A mixture of emotions flickered across his face as he became lost in his memories of his journey from weak to strong and the years of training and fighting strong opponents had finally led him to reach the true pinnacle of this world.
"What happened?" Madara asked, his curiosity piqued by the sudden change in Blaize's aura.
"Just a small increase in strength," Blaize replied with a nonchalant shrug.
"It seems like you've become even more terrifying," Madara snorted. "I don't understand how you keep getting stronger without doing anything!"

Amazon Lily
In a private room, Blaize held Hancock in a warm embrace feeling her soft body. "It's been some time, my wife," he murmured softly.
Hancock rested her head on his broad shoulders, enjoying his scent. "Yes, it has," she replied, her voice filled with happiness. But sensing his silence, she asked. "Husband, is everything okay?"
Blaize nodded, though his expression remained serious. "Yes, but we are going for a final battle with the World Government tomorrow."
Hancock's eyes widened slightly. "What?"
Blaize's grip tightened around her, reassuring her. "Yes, it's time."
"Considering my husband's strength, the World Government is no match!"
Blaize smiled at her confidence. "Of course, I'm strong but I'm worried they will target you and this island. That's why I came—to make sure Amazon Lily is safe in my absence.
Only when I'm confident of your safety, I can fight the battle with peace of mind."
Hancock's expression softened, understanding his concern for her and her people. "You don't have to worry about us. With my strength, defending my people is no problem."
Unlike in the original timeline, Hancock had grown significantly stronger, thanks to Blaize training her during his free time. Her Armament Haki could now destroy internally, and she had mastered Haoshoku Haki to infuse her attacks.
"I know you can, but this is different."
Hancock nodded, accepting his protectiveness. She enjoyed this feeling of being protected by Blaize. "Very well, my husband. Do what you must."
Blaize kissed her forehead tenderly. "Good. I promise, that once all of this is over, we will have a peaceful life away from all this fighting and killing."
Hancock smiled, "Ok."
Blaize and Hancock stepped outside to join Madara, Hancock's sisters, and Elder Nyon, who were all waiting.
"Madara, leave two of your wooden clones here," Blaize said, "I will infuse them with my power, making them more than capable of protecting this island. In unforeseen situations, your clones will ensure everyone's safety."
Madara nodded and made a seal, two wooden clones emerged from his body.
As the clones stood before him, Blaize placed his hand on their shoulders, channeling his golden energy into them. The clones' wooden exterior showed no visible change, but a drop of golden power formed within their bodies.
With a thought, the clones can activate their power.
Blaize then turned to Hancock and said, "This should be enough to defend against any threats. Even if anything happens to the clones, I can come here in an instant."
Hancock nodded, she believes in Blaize one hundred percent.
Blaize then glanced at Madara. "Let's go," he said, waving his hand to Hancock. With that, both he and Madara disappeared from Amazon Lily.

After leaving the island, Blaize made his way to Marine Headquarters. There was an emergency and his presence was needed while Madara had gone to meet with Dragon and the others.
In the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku, Garp, Kuzan, and several Vice Admirals were gathered, their faces stern.
"What happened?" Blaize asked, his tone casual.
A Marine officer stepped forward to report. "Egghead Island was attacked by the World Government forces. The main attacker was none other than former Admiral Akainu."
Blaize's eyes narrowed. "Tell me the details."
"An hour ago, we received a distress signal from Egghead Island. The message stated they were under attack by World Government forces," the officer began. "According to the report, aside from Akainu, one of the Five Elders came in person."
"Oh?"
"According to Vegapunk, they are here for an item called Motherflame." the officer continued. "As soon as we got the information, Admiral Kizaru and Fujitora went there in person."
If the Motherflame is stolen, it would be disastrous, as Blaize knew it might be the power source for the Ancient Weapon Uranus.
"What is the status of Egghead Island now?" Blaize asked.
"We're still awaiting updates from Admiral Kizaru. He will reach the island in a few minutes," replied the marine officer.
"Not good. I will go there in person."
Sengoku and Garp exchanged a glance, sensing the gravity of the situation. Sengoku asked, "Blaize, what happened? Is the Motherflame important?"
"Very," Blaize responded solemnly. "If the World Government gets hold of it, they could destroy any island in the blink of an eye."
Hearing it, everyone's expression changed.

Egghead Island,
The Island, once hailed as the Island of the Future, now lay in ruins. The landscape, once bustling with advanced technology and innovative products, was in flames, with only Vegapunk's laboratory situated above the clouds remaining untouched, protected by an impenetrable energy dome.
The rest of the island bubbled with magma, thanks to Akainu's devastating attacks.
"Vegapunk, surrender yourself and hand over the Motherflame," Saint Jaygarica Saturn's voice boomed through the destruction. "Considering your contributions, I might let you live. Otherwise, you will meet your end."
Behind him stood the World Government forces and Seraphim, all now under his control.
