Blake had been observing this battle from within the alternate dimension.
Regarding Garp, Sakazuki, Fujitora, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido, Blake couldn't claim to fully understand them, but from the original work and their previous performances, he had a basic grasp of their true capabilities.
If he had to rank these five, it would be hard to say who was stronger between the current Garp and Sakazuki.
Garp's strength should be at the tail end of his peak, so logically, he should be a bit stronger than Sakazuki.
However, this Sakazuki is different from the one in the original work; he has awakened Conqueror's Haki.
Blake had discovered during his previous battles in the card space that whether one had mastered Conquerors Haki Infusion made a huge difference in strength, which is why he never understood why the three Admirals in the original work could be on the same level as the Four Emperors.
But regardless of the reason, Sakazuki has now mastered the technique of Conquerors Haki Infusion, making him much stronger than in the original work. It could be said that he has advanced half a level beyond the Admiral, but he still hasn't reached the level of Rocks or Harald, let alone being able to challenge Imu.
The current Garp and Sakazuki can defeat Admiral powerhouses after a prolonged battle, but they definitely cannot do it as effortlessly as Rocks, who could cleave the Gates of Justice and casually take down a civilian Admiral.
Following them is Kaido.
At his adult stage, coupled with the blessings of a Mythical Zoan and his Oni physique, this guy's stamina and endurance are terrifying.
If Blake were on the same level as him, with the standard buffs from the Vampire Fruit, a head-on confrontation might not even make Blake his opponent.
Next is Charlotte Linlin.
To be honest, the Soul-Soul Fruit isn't really suited for her, and its development isn't particularly good either.
Blake watched for a long time and realized that this woman truly relies entirely on her natural talent.
Not only her Iron Balloon, but Charlotte Linlin's inherent Haki talent and battle instincts are also incredibly formidable.
Blake truly found it hard to imagine what level this woman would reach if she put in as much effort as he did.
And Fujitora's strength is clearly the weakest among the five.
His swordsmanship and Devil Fruit ability are indeed well-integrated, and his Devil Fruit, the powerful Gravity Fruit, is quite formidable, yet he always gives off an awkward feeling, as if his style is somewhat different from other powerhouses.
Blake stroked his chin, thinking that Fujitora might be the type of rational individual he had previously considered to be difficult to grow stronger, similar to Doflamingo.
It's just that his Devil Fruit is good, coupled with high talent, and after blinding himself, he unintentionally honed his Observation Haki, allowing him to join the ranks of top-tier powerhouses.
But that's about it; at most, he's at the level of Aramaki, Mandy, Shanks, and Shamrock, sitting at the bottom of the Admiral.
Huh? Looking at it this way, Fujitora and Aramaki really aren't quite up to par; they can only compare with those youngsters.
When these people grow stronger in a few years, won't they be scared away by a single Conqueror's Haki?
However, Blake's main focus was still on the three members of the God's Knights.
To be honest, Blake was still somewhat surprised that the God's Knights only sent three people.
Yes, counting Sakazuki and Fujitora, there are only four on the other side, and with Garp, the numbers would indeed be equal.
But don't you guys look at your own level? And what about theirs?
Moreover, Garp has always disliked the Celestial Dragons, so how could he possibly risk his life to help them snatch a Devil Fruit?
Thus, with Garp watching the show, these three could only rely on their characteristic fearlessness of injury, repeatedly blocking others' paths to seize the Ope-Ope no Mi, their bodies recovering again and again after being beaten.
The three also used all their methods, allowing Blake to barely glimpse some of their abilities.
Number 46 has not yet displayed any special abilities; he appears to be a pure Two-Sword Style Great Swordsman, somewhat like Shiki without using his Devil Fruit.
The Yeti is truly a Yeti.
Blake speculated that the opponent's Devil Fruit might be a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Yeti Form.
His physique is relatively tall, but he hasn't reached the level of a giant or a half-giant. Coupled with the two horns on his head, Blake suspected that this guy, like Kaido, was of Oni descent.
This raises a question: there are clearly no Oni among the 19 families of the Celestial Dragons, so this guy might have been absorbed into the God's Knights' team due to some special reason or ability, like Gunko.
The Yeti's abilities are mainly related to ice and snow.
In its normal state, it affects the surrounding temperature, and its exhaled breath instantly condenses.
Against opponents of average strength, this cold air can noticeably affect their condition.
This ability is actually quite ordinary, with limited impact on top-tier powerhouses, but it's a passive skill, so it's better than nothing.
And the Yeti's development of its abilities is very similar to the Ice-Ice Fruit, with all its skills involving large ice blocks.
The difference is that a Zoan-type Devil Fruit definitely cannot become an elemental being.
However, by combining the powerful physique of a Zoan with the frost power of a Mythical Zoan, its body strength and defense are astonishing.
If the opponent isn't a powerhouse known for explosive power like Sakazuki, it would probably be quite difficult to break through their defense.
It's somewhat similar to Kaido.
Compared to the Yeti, the Grim Reaper's abilities appear considerably more complex.
Blake guessed that the opponent's Devil Fruit should be a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Grim Reaper Form.
Just by its name, it sounds like a very powerful Devil Fruit, and like Blake's Vampire Fruit, its development direction is very complex.
In just this short time, Blake saw the opponent use several abilities.
For example, Soul Shock—
The hollow eyes beneath the mask stare at the enemy, capable of causing the opponent to lose focus for a moment.
Blake thought that this skill might be more effective against opponents with weak wills.
It can also leave a "Death Mark" on the opponent.
For a period, the marked target will continuously suffer from the erosion of Yin Energy (Yin Energy), with significantly reduced defense and recovery capabilities.
In addition, there are some soul-based attack methods.
Blake estimated that if facing a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, the Grim Reaper Fruit might be able to demonstrate more ways of use.
After all, it's the Grim Reaper; not having dead people would definitely affect its performance.
Perhaps he can absorb souls to grow stronger, like Thresh.
According to Blake's judgment, the Grim Reaper might be the strongest among the three members of the God's Knights who landed on Minion Island this time.
It must be said that this guy's abilities have miraculous effects whether facing Charlotte Linlin or Kaido.
There aren't many Devil Fruits that specifically target souls, so many people are somewhat constrained when facing Charlotte Linlin.
As a result, in front of the Grim Reaper, the situation of the two was reversed.
Blake noticed that Charlotte Linlin seemed hesitant to let her Homies directly face the Grim Reaper's scythe, only able to provide support from the side.
And Kaido, known for his defense and recovery abilities, could be restricted by the Grim Reaper's marking.
It's unclear whether this was a coincidence or a deliberate action by the God's Knights after learning about their opponents.
