Fleet Admiral Blaize -2

Next day,

Just as the World Government thought Blaize would struggle to bring the entire Marines under his control, he amazed everyone with unforeseen actions.

The people Blaize cultivated and enlisted in the Marines swiftly took control of the Marine bases scattered around the Four Seas and 1st half of GrandLine.

The remaining 1000 men joined the Marines and entered the New World. With him as Fleet Admiral, they stabilized their positions and made sure Marines operated as before.

Of course, there are many World Government followers or agents in the Marines. They may trouble him later, but he wasn't too worried about that.

G1-Branch, 

A Fleet of marine ships docked around the base with a lot of Marines running here and there carrying heavy things. After the end of the war, the Headquarters was shifted here.

In a huge office, a meeting was held that was attended by all the important people; Admirals, Vice-Admirals, intelligent officers, retired people like Garp, Sengoku, and some Rear Admirals.

Blaize attended the meeting as the Fleet Admiral of the Marines.

"Blaize-san, there are some uproars in the New World. It's because of the news circulated by Morgans." Saying this, Brannew slapped the newspaper on the table.

"MARINES LOST THE WAR! Ace was rescued, Whitebeard's unscathed."

"A single man destroyed the entire Marines. The secret strength of Scarlet Demon, Madara! Will he be crowned as the Fifth Emperor?"

"Marine Hero Garp and Sengoku resigned from their positions. The new Fleet Admiral of the Marines: The Strongest Man in the World, Blaize."

"Marines lost one of their pillars. Admiral Akainu a.k.a Sakazuki left the Marines with some of his subordinates rather than stay under Blaize's command.

His current whereabouts are unknown!"

Flipping the newspaper, Blaize read the headlines and some key points of the report. After a minute, he tossed it aside. "Don't worry about it! There will be a new Admiral taking Sakazuki's place soon.

As for other things, there's no need to worry about it! Let's begin the meeting!" 

He already sent Regis and Kuina to search for the traces of Fujitora. With him providing the latter's description, it won't be long before they find and recruit him into the Marines.

Blaize spoke: "Let me make something clear first. After today, we won't be under the command of the World Government. We are just Marines! The reason why I worked hard to get to this position is for this reason!

As Marines, you definitely would have seen what the World Government or celestial dragons have been doing over the years. As the leader of the World, what they do is justice. It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong.

'Protecting the weak from the strong' It's my justice. And, it's our duty. What's yours? Find it, fight for it, and execute it with your heart!

In my command, no one can stop it. You are free to follow your heart." 

His words aroused some bitter memories in every Marine officer. As high-ranking marines, they have seen cruel things done by the World Government.

But, they can only turn a blind eye to it as instructed by the top.

"To be Frank, World Government and I have some personal enmity. But, I won't use Marines' power to accomplish my personal vendetta.

Even If I fight the World Government, I won't ask a single marine to stand behind me. I alone strong enough to overwhelm them."

His domineering words backed by his strength completely conquered the Marines. After today, they will follow his orders without any objection.

"We aren't going to do anything big. Do your duty as you always did. Other things, I will take care of it. For now, let's take it easy and let the wounded get proper treatment."

Sengoku whispered to Garp who was next to him. "He's doing well, his words completely aroused the Marine's spirit. He has the aura of a Leader!"

Garp laughed. "Bwahahaha...I told you, it's time we let the young ones take the stage. Blaize is strong. Under his command, I see a future that we couldn't create!"

At that moment, Tsuru commented. "World Government won't sit by and watch. Don't forget they are the sovereign of the world. Without their support, Marines can't hold for long without money and supplies.

Let's see how he handles it."

Whitebeard pirates,

Whitebeard pirates just finished their last rites to hundreds of dead brothers who lost their lives during the war. Many were seen with bandaged looks, while some even lost their arms or legs. 

Looking at them, Ace suddenly dropped to his knees. "I'm sorry, everyone. Because of me, we lost many of our brothers while many of you are injured."

Tears trickled down his cheeks and his face was full of guilt, unable to face his father or brothers.

"What are you saying, Ace? I know you would have done the same thing if we were caught!"

"Yeah! Don't be so guilty, it didn't suit you." 

"Get up, Ace." Whitebeard gestured and laughed. "Gurarara...I consider everyone on this ship as my sons. I would have done the same thing for anyone else.

Family is my belief. If someone touches it, I will fight them with everything I got. Even if I die in the process, I won't regret it. Because It's my belief. I can't betray it!"

After Whitebeard's words, the atmosphere calmed down a little. Still, the loss of their brothers made them grieve silently.

"Ace, Old Man Whitebeard, it's time for me to go! My crew is waiting for me. After the war, I saw how weak I was. So I'm going to take a short break before continuing my adventure. Then, I will become the King of the pirates.

Ace, the next time we meet, we will be enemies." Luffy showed his teeth before jumping onto the 'Thousand Sunny' that came to pick him up.

"You idiot...Take care!" Ace waved his hand and bid farewell to Luffy.

"Your brother is good, Ace. He has the spirit! But, it's time you take it seriously too." Whitebeard spoke. 

"My time is limited. If you don't want Whitebeard pirates to disband, it's in your hands."

"Yes, Oyaji!" Ace clenched his fist. A royal purple streak of energy flashed in his eyes, the sign of conqueror's Haki.
