As Blaize and Kizaru left the Punk Hazard, the entire world was shocked by the news: One of the Yonko, Crystal Pirates demise.

Once again, Blaize was at the center of attention while his name and reputation spread far and wide. In Grand Line, there's not a single person who doesn't know his name.

After the battle, many acknowledged the title, The strongest marine, befits him. Some who were doubting his strength because of how young and how short he's in the sea began to dread his strength.

As Sengoku believed, Blaize's name sent fear into the hearts of pirates who knew how strong the Yonko, the Crystal pirates were.

And at the same time, it pulled countless talents who admired Blaize to join the Marines. But, it wasn't enough to obstruct the Great age of pirates.

Crystal Pirates' demise worsened the situation and directed the New World into more chaos.

Onigashima, Wano County.

"Hmph," Kadio's eyes narrowed at the news and chugged down a large amount of wine. "Screw the Crystal pirates. I should have known he will fail, considering how weak he was."

Throwing the newspaper away, Kaido once again focused on drinking. The only thing that interested him in the news is Blaize.

Outside his chamber stood King and Jack. They too read the newspaper and were shocked by the Crystal pirates' defeat.

"Vice-Admiral Blaize...he's too powerful," Jack uttered.

"I am going to kill him, the next time we meet." King burned the newspaper in his hand and coldly said.

Unlike King, Jack's thoughts were different as he knew how strong Blaize is. Aside from his Captain, he doubts others could take him head-on.

Unknown Island, New World.

Temporary hideout of Red-hair pirates. Shanks and Beckman sat some distance away from all the crew members who were chatting and enjoying their drink.

"Unbelievable. It's only been a year or so but his strength has already reached the level of Yonko." Beckman commented, looking at the newspaper.

"That's the problem. His rise is too quick and coupled with his personality, I don't know how the World Government will take this." Shanks is spot-on as he knew Five Elders very well.

"What do you mean?" Beckman asked.

"Nothing. I think I am worrying too much." Shanks shook his head.

The same thing happened on the Whitebeard and Big Mom territories. They were shocked, not because Crystal was defeated but by Blaize's strength. They knew someone of their caliber has appeared on the sea!

Goa Kingdom, East Blue.

"Bwahaha, that brat has done it." Garp grinned widely, looking at the newspaper. 'Sengoku should be pleased...'

"Grandpa, what are you reading?" At that moment, Luffy ran from the shadows of the trees with Ace.

Snatching the newspaper from Garp, Ace glanced at the content and was shocked to see Blaize's picture along with his feat of defeating a Yonko.

"Ace, what is it?" Luffy asked, eagerly.

Ace threw the newspaper back to Garp and spoke, "Nothing, just a marine defeating a pirate."

Marine Headquarters,

Blaize returned to Headquarters and went to meet Sengoku while Kizaru took the job of delivering the crystal pirates to Impel down.

He reported to Sengoku about the battle progress and how strong Crystal was. "If he had learned how to use his Conqueror's Haki, then I couldn't have defeated him!"

"Hahaha, I think you don't quite understand. Not every conqueror's haki user is capable of that, one needs to be extremely talented, qualified, and chosen." Sengoku replied.

"Oh yes...Sengoku-san, I need a paramecia-type devil fruit. I don't have any requirements, just anything will do."

"For what?" Sengoku raised his eyebrows. "If you planned to give someone to your unit, I suggest you select a good one."

"No. I need it for a different purpose."

"If any fruit will do, then it won't be a problem. I will send someone to get it." Sengoku said.

"Thanks, just make sure it's a paramecia-type devil fruit."

"Ok. Blaize, the fall of Crystal pirates stirred many pirate crews to fight for the position of Yonko. I need you and your unit in New World for that.

Since you just finished the battle, take a rest for two or three days before departing." Sengoku mentioned.

"No problem."

Leaving the Fleet Admiral office, Blaize called Regis to ask them where they are. Regis informed him that they went to Sabaody to relax.

"Blaize-san, we will come back immediately," Regis spoke.

"No worries, take your time." Blaize didn't mind since they were training non-stop for some time. Ending the call, Blaize went to the temporary cabin arranged for him.

As he waited for the devil fruit to come, he called Hancock. It's only been two days but he already started to miss her.

"Hancock, did you safely reach the Amazon Lily?" Blaize asked.

Hancock, who was on the other end of the call, felt sweet when Blaize's first question is about her well-being. "No, we will reach by evening."

"Good! Not even two days have passed since we parted, but I am already starting to miss you. Did you miss me too?" Blaize asked with a smile.

"Yes," Hancock's meek voice came from the other end. Hearing it, Blaize laughed. He enjoys seeing Hancock's embarrassed and shy side. Speaking with her for another minute, Blaize ended the call.

At that moment, a marine office came to deliver a devil fruit. Blaize didn't even bother to see what kind of fruit it is, before using the System function to exchange it for Crystal-Crystal fruit. Once Kuina comes, he will give it to her.

--

Evening came, Blaize simply rested by reclining on the chair and thinking something. The uneasy feeling that he has been experiencing intensified lately. As if something's going to happen soon.

His worries came true by the ringing sound of Den Den Mushi.. When he attended it, Regis's anxious voice came from the other side.
