Looking at the smiling old man, Blaize asked. "Old man Magnus, did you do it intentionally? Furthermore, you also ate devil fruit related to temperature?"
"I just triggered the Haoshoku Haki slumbering within you, nothing much. As for the devil fruit, yes, I ate the ra ra no mi[Fire-Fire fruit] when I was younger."
"ra ra no mi, the powerful logia fruit described in devil fruit encyclopedia. A fruit that's capable of mass destruction.' Blaize uttered.
'No wonder! There isn't ra ra no mi user in the current tiline since it was eaten by Old man Magnus long ago. Could it be only after he died, Ace found the fruit? What a coincidence!' Blaize mused.
"I personally think your devil fruit is far stronger than mine. It's different from hot-hot fruit, Heat-Heat fruit, Temperature-Temperature fruit that I have seen.
It should be so kind of rare devil fruit that's never been eaten by others. Can you demonstrate your devil fruit powers for ?" Old man Magnus asked.
"Sure," Blaize said and displayed his supre heat manipulation which had a red-orange fla-like appearance.
"Fascinating! Your ability isn't fire but pure heat that seems like fire. It has a temperature of the normal fla, but with repeated usage, you can raise the temperature higher. Look at my fla, it may give you an idea." Old man Magnus said.
A bluish fla materialized and swirled around his form. How to say this? In Blaize's eyes, the fla looked beautiful and captivating to behold. It lacked the natural ferociousness of fire, but the temperature exuded by it countless tis stronger than your average fla.
What amazed him is, the old man neither stretched his hands nor commanded anything but the flas naturally materialized with just his thought. aning, he 'awakened' his devil fruit power.
After all, awakening a 'logia' devil fruit is countless tis harder than paracia.
"Who are you, Old man?" Blaize asked, completely piqued.
"Hohoho, I'm just your ordinary old man who once road the seas."
"Around which ti did you sail the sea?"
"Hmm...it's been sixty years, I forgot many things. I was a pirate for around 30 years, I think it was around 1420 to 1450." Old man Magnus replied, reminiscing his past.
"It ans...you are over 100 years old!" Blaize asked, sowhat shocked. He knew the average lifespan in One Piece world is '140' but it was his first ti eting soone so old.
"Yes. I am around 115 years old. If nothing goes awry, I can live for another 5 or 6 years."
"Old man, can you teach Haki?" Blaize suddenly asked. If the Old man taught him, he's sure his haki will improve faster.
"I don't mind teaching you, but you are too green and lack experience. Roam the sea for another one or two years, then co back I will teach you." Old man Magnus didn't decline Blaize's request but set a condition.
Blaize understood. If his understanding of Haki isn't wrong, it's a supre Qi present in all living creatures but needs further practice to master them.
But one's fighting spirit, resolve, and willpower determine how strong one haki can beco.
"Ok then." After that, Blaize chatted with the Old man Magnus and learned many things from him. The latter even gave him pointers regarding the devil fruit abilities he developed.
Conversing with him really opened his eyes. When Blaize asked, why he was living here alone?
The Old man said it's related to his crewmates and his promise to them. Even though he lives alone here, he occasionally visits the nearby islands to buy things and learn what's happening in the world.
Blaize asked, "Then, do you know about Pirate King Gol D. Roger? He conquered the whole Grandline and even reached the final island!"
"Mn. I know. Pity, he was born too early." Old man Magnus shook his head but he didn't ntion the reason. "He's the best proof the tis are shifting, and a new dawn will eventually be born."

Resting on the island for a night, Blaize departed the next day after saying goodbye to Old man Magnus.
eting him was a kind of fortune to Blaize. He learned so many things from him and so of the latter's experiences inspired him further to beco strong.
A wider world is waiting for him to explore and only with strength, he can savor them and experience blood arousing battles.
Old Man Magnus stood at the island shore and stared at Blaize's black with a complex expression. "Is it fate? If it's not, then what is. It seems like we were predestined to et. Only ti will tell."

Blaize traveled in the direction pointed by his Log Pose. He hopes at least the next island would be a normal one.
He then checked his system interface. There was no change in the attribute section but new tasks had popped up in the task section.
