Chapter 56: Fisher Tiger
Some distance away,
Rear Admiral Kadar and his unit had a shocked look on their faces. Though they didn't know exactly what's happening, they saw a huge sun-like ball and how it exploded into smaller ones.
Especially, Kadar, he was terrified. He knew it should be the result of a clash between the earlier Marine unit and Sun pirates.
'That young marine comes from headquarters? Who is he? Why I haven't heard of him before.'
He knew very well that only Marines from Headquarters possess such astounding strength. 'When he comes back, I should be more polite to him!'

Back to the battle,
Fisher Tiger looked at Blaize's with his never-changing expression. But in his heart, he knew the Sun Pirates aren't his match.
Six months back, he had the confidence to beat Blaize but now he wasn't sure. 'How did the human get this strong in the short span of six months?'
Though he isn't certain of defeating Blaize, he won't go down without a fight. He also doesn't plan on getting captured again.
On the other hand, Blaize knew he had to resort to a hard way to subdue the Sun pirates. Facing stubborn characters like Jinbe and Fisher Tiger, he has no other choice.
'If they don't surrender, I will beat them till they are knocked senseless.' Blaize thought and projected the miniature sun towards Jinbe.
'ZZZZZ!'
Facing the attack that already began to burn their skins, all the Fish-men in the proximity other than Jinbe and Tiger fled far away.
Jinbe, still in the water, conjured another whirlpool with his Fish-man jujutsu but under extreme heat, the water in the surroundings turned into vapors.
This is completely different from the little fireballs they stopped. Jinbe thought, 'What is that human's ability? His flames are many times stronger than normal fire.
As the target of the attack, his skin began to char while the sea around him turned to beat red and boiled in extreme heat.
Having no choice, Jinbe dived deep into the sea and decides to confront it from there.
Jinbe waved both arms at great speed and uses the surrounding water to quell the gigantic fireball. As soon as the water comes in contact with the fire, it evaporated.
Even so, it was able to reduce the temperature of the fireball to some extent. But, the miniature sun still burns fiercely, enough to incinerate him.
This move is highly effective against fire as it utilizes the humidity around him but Blaize's flame isn't your ordinary fire.
Jinbe was in a desperate situation powerless to stop the strike as none of his attacks to seems to work. In fact, he can effortlessly avoid the attack if he flees as he's in the sea.
But he won't do that because behind him is Fisher Tiger and their ship SnapperHead. Jinbe isn't the kind of man who runs away in this situation.
At the last moment, Tiger came to his aide and looked at him. There's no need for words, Jinbe understood what the latter wants him to do.
< Fishman jujutsu: Sea Current Lifter!>
Both of them dived into the sea and heaves the water current upward. Towering water streams erupted from the sea surface and confronted Blaize's miniature Sun.
There were nearly 50 water streams, twenty-five stopped the gigantic fireball from falling upon them while another twenty-five struck from different directions.
Soon, the entire region was shrouded by dense water vapors blocking others from seeing what's happening inside.
"What happened? Did they succeed in blocking the attack?" A Fishman asked in nervousness.
"I hope nothing happens to them!" Aladine clenched his fist.
Blaize waved his hand and a strong wind swept the region where his miniature sun had fallen. He quickly noticed the figure of Jinbe and Tiger.
'They succeeded in blocking the cruel sun?' Blaize slightly narrowed his eyes.
Jinbe had already lost his consciousness exhausting everything he had with scorch wounds all over his body.
As for Fisher Tiger, he had burnt wounds on the upper part of his body while blood trickled from the corner of his lips. Without a doubt, he's slightly stronger than Jinbe and was able to resist the attack.
'Impressive!' Blaize mentally commented. He thought the attack would take them both out but Tiger was able to withstand it.
'I think he will put up a good fight if I restrain from using my devil fruit powers. Well, I too need to test the strength of my constitution!'
Blaize mused and decided to confront Tiger head-on with his fists. "I hope you don't disappoint me, Fisher Tiger!"
'Swish!'
'Soru!' Blaize's figure blurred and in the next second, he appeared before Tiger and lanced a sweeping head kick with his entire strength.
'Boom!'
Tiger parried the attack with his left arm and punched with his right. The 17 feet tall, broad physiqued Fishman's punch is stronger than Blaize expected.
Instead of evading Tiger's punch, Blaize blocked with his left. He wants to test the difference and the result, he was shoved back a few meters.
A bruise appeared on Blaize's left hand and it hurt. 'What a powerful physique! Good, this is what I was expecting.''
On the other hand, Tiger was once again astonished by Blaize's strength. He thought the latter is strong because of his overbearing devil fruit ability but he didn't expect him to be skilled at physical traits too.
What bugs him is, why Blaize stopped using his devil fruit.
On the other hand, Blaize once again dashed towards Tiger and kicked him but this time he used the Rokushiki skill: Rankyaku. It produced a sharp compressed air blade from his leg and made its way towards Tiger.
His Rankyaku isn't very strong without utilizing his devil fruit powers. Even so, it would at least give Tiger some trouble. But what happened next stunned Blaize.
Fisher Tiger narrowed his eyes and he simply repelled the attack with his fist clenched and slapped it away. Aside from a skin-deep wound, the wind blade didn't inflict much damage.
