"He's at the back, overseeing the competition among the Demon Squad!" Sabo replied.
'Demon Squad...' It brought a humorous smile to Blaize's face. It was Madara's idea as he handpicked twenty people who were best of the best among the thousands of recruits.
He did it on a whim to relieve his boredom but it evolved into something none of them expected.
Two years ago, they recruited thousands of people from all over the world to create a force. They just didn't recruit anyone but people affected by either the World Government, Pirates, or Marines.
The people with the determination to change the world.
With Madara's Sharingan, the screening process was smooth without any undercovers or traitors.
Of course, it caught the World Government and Marines' attention. But with Revolutionary, Blaize, and Madara working together, everything went smoothly.
They recruited around 2,500 people and started to train them to be better combatants and intelligence agents. After one year, around 1,500 of them were dispatched to Four Seas and the first half of Grand Line.
All of them enlisted in the Marines. Not to attract attention, they hid their strength and stayed at the bottom position as Seaman Recruits or First Class.
As for the remaining 1000 people, they are still here. Some of them with good knowledge even learned Haki. They are not to be underestimated.
"And," Sabo's face turned solemn as he continued, "We had intruders a few days back, just a day after Dragon-san left."
"Oh?" Blaize wasn't surprised. "Is it CP-0?"
Dawn Island wasn't that easy to invade as the entire island was encircled in a heat field by Blaize. Without his perception, it's difficult to set foot on the island.
But, with rare devil fruit abilities, it can be done.
"Yes. They appeared suddenly without any alert as if they teleported here." Sabo described the process. "Thankfully, Madara-san was here. He was truly powerful, killing them all in a few moves."
The World Government has been trying to find this location for some time. As for how they found this place, Sabo's guess is they followed Uchiha Madara.
Talking, they walked to the other end of the island. The Dawn Island is separated into two by a huge building in the middle.
"Should we change the location?" Sabo asked.
"Let them come. With me here, they can't do anything!" Madara commented in an overbearing tone. He has the strength to support his claim.
"It doesn't matter. The World Government will be busy in the upcoming days, so they won't have time for another visit." Blaize responded after Madara with a smile.
Looking at Madara, he commented in a joking manner. "You have changed. Madara. I didn't expect you to instruct and train the young people."
"I find it fun!" Typical Madara answer. With his arms crossed, Madara watched the contest with his Sharingan opened.
"Is it Jax and Akira?" Blaize asked. "No matter how many times he gets defeated, he never gives up. A typical Naruto kind of guy, don't you agree?"
"Naruto? What a bad memory!" Madara snorted but agreed.
Akira was recruited by Blaize. She's a Royal born, a princess but she lost her kingdom, her father, mother, and everything she loved was destroyed in a single night.
She was captured and kept as a prisoner. Blaize rescued and brought her here.
On the other hand, Jax was recruited by Madara. He's a sunny guy with an unyielding spirit.
Among the Demon Squad, Akira and Jax are the best. They are devil fruit users and proficient in Armament and Observation Haki.
Akira is a Zoan fruit user, and that too, a Mythical one as she ate Tori Tori no mi - model: Thunder Bird. She can transform into a huge thunderbird with the power of thunder.
As for Jax, he's a Logia person who ate the Cloud Cloud fruit with the same thunder power. Blaize exchanged it for him. Like them, Half of the Demon Squad is devil fruit users.
Looking at their fighting, Blaize smiled. 'Everything's going well. It's time I improve my strength!'
"Sabo, Madara, I came here for another important matter. Don't let anyone disturb me." Uttering the words, Blaize vanished from the spot.

Blaize's figure appeared in a room designed specifically for him. Though he comes rarely, he has a private room here. He needs them during the time he concentrates on producing God's Blood.
Sitting cross-legged, Blaize relaxed himself for some time before proceeding further. With a thought, he began absorbing the Natural energy present in the surroundings.
Like the first time, he fused the Natural Energy with his Life energy[Nen] before using his Haki to form God's Blood. The entire process didn't take any longer than 10 minutes.
He felt exhausted with his life energy and Haki was depleted at the same time. In his status bar, God's blood count increased by one [2997/3000].
'Three more to go!' He meditated for his life energy and Haki to recover before repeating the process.
A day passed. A new day started with the Sun peeking from the distant horizon. At that moment, Blaize finally produced the last drop, increasing God's Blood count to 3000.
As soon as he completed the process, an amazing transformation took place inside his body. His blood was still Red, but it had a golden sheen around them.
They exuded a holy aura, pristine and refined!
As God's Blood flowed around his body, it brought a divine transformation. A hot sensation appeared, bringing forth slight pain.
However, this feeling didn't make him feel uncomfortable but made him understand something magical was happening in his body.
At the same time, he felt a sense of clarity. It was as if something that had been blocking his brain for a long time had been broken.
It was a wonderful sensation, a complete metamorphosis of both body and spirit. The feeling lasted for a few minutes before everything went back to normal.
Rising to his feet, Blaize clenched his fist feeling the power within him, and noticed the changes. There wasn't a major change in his appearance, but his entire being was shrouded in a silky layer of silver aura.
With a thought, the flimsy layer seeped into his skin, disappearing from the view. After his physique reached the half-god level, his physical powers peaked to the maximum.
The feeling of excitement... Blaize wanted to laugh but he suddenly remembered the scene of Madara's crazy laughter when the other party came to life and tasted his blood. 'It won't suit me I think!'
