Next day,
Most of Blaize's injury healed to a certain extent that he can barely get out of his bed and walk. The only troubling thing is his arms, the recovery is quite slow. He still can't feel them.
Just as he was contemplating what he should next, Garp ca to visit him. The old man had a grin on his face as if he was enjoying his predicant.
"Bwahahaha! Blaize brat, you look great!"
Hearing the sentence, Blaize's lips twitched. 'In what way I look great?'
"I want to learn Haki, can you teach ?" He asked without hiding his thoughts.
"You want to beat Sakazuki?" Garp asked narrowing his eyes.
"Yes...that bastard nearly killed ." Blaize calmly replied.
"Even if I want to teach you Haki, you are in no position to learn them. Your actions grabbed World Governnt's attention, they severely condemned Sengoku for supporting you." Garp said shaking his head.
Blaize wasn't surprised as he knew it would happen but he didn't expect that Sengoku would be implicated by it. It ans the latter took the bla in his stead.
"But why? I am the one who did it!" Blaize asked.
"What you did is no small matter since involves the World Nobles. They want the slaves back but you helped them to escape.
If Sengoku didn't take the bla, you will definitely be dismissed from your position and sent to Impel down for your cris."
Hearing this, Blaize was silent. He always thought Sengoku won't support his way of doing things but he didn't expect the latter would go so far as to protect him.
His actions stirred his heart as he knew what it ans. Sengoku may even lose his promotion to beco a Fleet Admiral.
"Still, you are not escaping this incident without any punishnt. For your cri, you were demoted by two ranks while your rit points were subtracted to zero.
Now, you are just a Lieutenant commander. Furthermore, you will be sent to one of the four blues for few years to reflect on your actions."
Garp spoke about Blaize's current situation while inwardly he's displeased about the decision. In his opinion, this kind of punishnt is a little heavy since it's equivalent to cutting off Blaize's future path.
By the ti he cos back from the Four blues, he had to start all over again and advance his way forward in the ranks.
But no one can do anything since the punishnt was decided by Fleet Admiral Kong after discussing with the World Governnt.
Blaize wasn't depressed by the punishnt as Garp expected. To him, Marine ranks, rit points are just a way to get stronger, even without them he can beco strong.
Once he becos strong, he can get them back in no ti.
After conversing with him for a few more minutes, Garp left the room. As for Blaize, he pondered for a minute and decided to learn Haki in his own way.
Since none in the Marines plan on teaching him, he will find a way on his own. His first choice is to visit Old man Magnus and ask him if the latter also rejects his request, he can only look for other ways.
After Garp left, Regis ca to visit him. He told him the escaped World noble salves they carried to the Alabasta Kingdom were recaptured by the Marines.
It enraged Blaize but Regis's next sentence sowhat cald his heart. "I safely sent Airi and Seia to their hos, after finding the marines are searching for them, I helped them relocate to a different Island."
Regis then recounted what happened after Blaize was taken away from Kuzan.
Unlike Regis, Jotto revealed the other three people's whereabouts and for his service, he was promoted by one rank. Blaize was disappointed by his actions but won't bla him.
Since his actions saved the other marine soldiers in his unit from any sort of punishnt aside from Regis.
"What about you?" Blaize asked.
"Since I didn't reveal the location of the other two slaves, I was naturally punished and demoted to Ensign," Regis replied.
"Thanks, Regis." Blaize won't forget his help. Only in difficult situations, you will see the true faces of the people around you.
"Captain Blaize, I decided to follow you. I don't care about your rank or where you are sent. I believe in your strength and justice."
Hearing this, Blaize laughed. It feels good to have a trusted comrade beside you.

Blaize stayed in the healing center for another day before leaving the place against Fishbonen's instruction.
Exiting the healing center, he headed to Sengoku's office. He didn't thank him for taking the bla but he will by his actions in the future, Blaize can't let him down after what the latter had done.
"What are you doing here, you haven't fully recovered yet? Go back!" Sengoku frowned at his reckless action.
"Don't worry about them, Sengoku-san. They will heal in no ti. I ca to apply for a leave!"
"For what?"
"Personal reasons!"
"How many days?"
"Three months!" Blaize responded without batting an eyelid. Before Sengoku could question, he spoke again. "Personal reasons!"
Hearing his answer, Sengoku had the urge to beat him but suppressed his impulse considering the state of his injuries.
He didn't reject Blaize's request as his wounds need ti to heal, especially his arms. After thinking for a mont, he granted them.
After getting Sengoku's permission, Blaize departed from the Marine Headquarters without saying goodbye to anyone. Only Garp, Sengoku and Regis know. Even they don't know where he was going.
As for his relocation, he was tasked to guard the East Blue but he will only take the post after three months. Neither Garp nor Sengoku stopped him as they thought Blaize was disheartened after his defeat.
But, in truth, he wasn't distressed by the loss. After all, losing is also part of a ga. Accepting the loss is also a kind of win.
Leaving the Headquarters, Blaize headed straight to the volcanic Island where he t old man Magnus.

Sengoku's office,
"Do you know where he's going?" Sengoku asked, sipping a tea.
"Who knows," Garp nonchalantly replied without care. "But what I know is, he's searching for the strength to beat Sakazuki.
The next ti we et, he won't be the sa person we know."
"So, why do you want him in East Blue?" Sengoku asked.
"East Blue is peaceful, he will like it there."
But Sengoku didn't believe in his answer, "Are you planning on teaching him Haki secretly?"
"Of course not!" Garp replied, looking elsewhere.
