Chapter 122 - New World
Blaize reached the Marine Headquarters around noon along with Regis and Rosinante. After dropping them, he went to meet Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
Apprehending and releasing Doflamingo was kept a secret. Only a selected few knew about the battle. Nevertheless, Blaize is happy with the Merit points transferred to his name, for taking down Doflamingo.
When Sengoku asked about the Gold Gold fruit acquired from the Donquixote Pirates, Blaize told him he wants the fruit. Sengoku didn't object but said he will deduct some of his merit points for the same.
After chatting with Sengoku for some time, Blaize left his office to find Admiral Kuzan. He wanted to meet the latter for two reasons: one, to test and push his Armament Haki mastery.
Second, by defeating the latter he can complete an achievement and gain some attribute points. But, he heard Kuzan's not in Headquarters..
Blaize and his unit will be leaving the Headquarters in another two days to the New World. Kuina and his unit haven't arrived at the Headquarters yet as they encountered a storm on their way.
Right now, his concern is to perfect his Armament Haki. Left with no choice, he went to meet Garp. Though the latter isn't good at teaching, he's very good at beating him up.
After some time, Garp and Blaize met in the training field. Garp crackled his knuckles and grinned, "Blaize brat, you got guts disturbing my sleep and asking to have a spar with you.
Are you ready?"
Blaize had a helpless expression on his face and said, 'Ready!"
After that, a lot of Bangs and Booms sounded in the training field while the Marine officers and soldiers circled the area and watched the show in amusement.
Every one of them knew Blaize, the man who defeated the Speed pirates and the youngest person to attain the rank of Rear Admiral.
After two hours, Blaize left the training field in bruises. He regrets finding Garp for a spar, the old man didn't hold back at all, like always.
Even with '60' plus points in the constitution attribute and '50' plus points in the Haki attribute, he was beaten black and blue with no resistance.
Garp is truly a monster. If his analysis isn't wrong, both Garp's Constitution and Haki attributes should be above '70' points. Maybe even close to '80'. The difference is big.
Of course, if Blaize had used his devil fruit powers he could have held his ground for a while but that won't change the outcome.
Still, fighting someone stronger is clearly different, he was able to experience things that can't be learned through training. And, his Haki attribute rose by '0.2' point in a single fight.
In this fight with Garp, he emptied his Haki reserve and gained some insight into how to improve the advanced concepts of Armament Haki.
After dragging his body to the temporary room assigned to him, Blaize recalled the battle and trained in his Haki.

Four days passed,
Just after Blaize and his unit left the Marine Headquarters, a piece of news spread the New World like wildfire. The concept of the 'Four Emperors' took the world by storm.
The news didn't reveal anything about the World Government or Marines involvement, they just reported that the people in the New World proclaim the four Great pirates of the Sea as 'Yonko'.
Whitebeard Pirates, Beast Pirates, Bigmom Pirates, and lastly, Crystal Pirates. The current Four Emperors of the sea, according to the Newspaper It angered many great pirates who were active from Roger's time.
Blaize knew about the Crystal Pirates. Though their crew isn't as strong as the other three, they are an extremely infamous and powerful pirate crew.
Their Captain, Crystal, holds a bounty of 2,824,000,000. He's one of the strongest people in the New World commanding vast pirates.
Just after the news, the New World is thrown into chaos while all hell broke loose. Some stronger pirates began to compete for the position of Yonko, while the weaker ones formed alliances to take down the strong.
It's only been a day but the battles between the pirates already began to influence the lives of normal people. Even some World Government affiliated kingdoms faced the attack, just because some pirates want to increase their bounties.
Right now, Blaize and his unit are traveling to the Prodence Kingdom, ruled by King Elizabello II. According to the reports, a great pirate crew launched an attack on the kingdom.
Though King Elizabello II protected the kingdom and its citizens from harm, the Marine received the intelligence that another pirate crew is heading there.
A battle is inevitable between them! In an hour or two, Blaize's ship will reach its destination.

Meanwhile, on the ship's deck, Blaize fought Regis so that the latter can familiarize himself with the devil fruit powers. Yesterday, he exchanged the Gol Gol Fruit for Kilo Kilo Fruit and gave it to the latter.
Gold-Gold fruit is without a doubt a powerful one but to bring out its full potential one needs a large amount of Gold which isn't possible for Regis. It's also the reason he traded it for Kilo Kilo Fruit.
Of course, he could have traded for a better one. But, Regis is with him for years now and Blaize knew his personality well, so only after much thought, he decided on this one. It matches well with the latter.
He also asked for Regis's opinion before exchanging it.
After eating the devil fruit, Regis's physical strength skyrocketed. As for his Haki, it has already reached the level of 'Intermediate' after the fight with Speed pirates.
Now, combined with his devil fruit powers he won't have any problem facing someone with an Advanced level of Haki. In his unit, he's strongest after him.
"Regis, you already saw what the last user of Kilo Kilo fruit is capable of. The ability of the fruit is not just increasing your weight, it can do wonders if used rightly."
Blaize said and threw a normal punch. Regis met the punch with his own by changing the weight of his arm. The two of them traded blows for a minute before coming to a stop.
"Practice well, you will eventually get there," Blaize said. "And also, don't forget to train your Haki." Regis nodded his head.
