Conqueror Of All

Side by side, the three of them walked towards the centre of the city, more and more civilians peeked their heads to see what was going on. And, in the distance the marines started gathering up with Smoker and Tashigi in lead.

"Smoker, it"s them…" Tashigi said in a low voice as she saw the figures walking towards the city centre.

Smoker gnashed his teeth for a moment, he knew that the rebellion was Crocodile"s plan. But, he had no way to stop Crocodile as he was one of the Royal Seven Warriors. All Smoker could do was to watch Crocodile terrorize the Kingdom of Alabasta while some "pirate" defeated Crocodile.

"Follow them. We need to know what they are up to." Smoker said in a calm voice as he started walking towards Izan with large strides.

Slowly but surely, even more civilians and marines followed Izan towards the city centre.

On Izan"s sides, Nojiko and Jiutian were both holding their weapons as they had a calm att.i.tude. Nojiko felt her att.i.tude slowly changing the more she was with Jiutian and Izan, she was getting more confident as she believed that Izan will be the one to change the world in the future.

Jiutian did always have a calm att.i.tude, unless it was to tease Izan for fun. She did want to tease Izan now because of the "pretty" girl who was on his shoulder with blood running down her clothes. But, she stayed quiet for the moment, because everything had its time and right now wasn"t the time to tease Izan.

"Izan, you might want to heal that girl." Jiutian said in a low voice as she kept her eyes forward.

"Hmm… How?" Izan did the same, he didn"t turn his head, but only asked in the same manner as Jiutian, in a low voice.

"You might have forgotten to ask, but I did mention that you will have a couple of traits following you to the worlds you will be visiting until we arrive at the "Real Universe"." Jiutian started explaining.

Which in turn made Izan shocked, he had forgotten about the "traits" he had since the beginning. Because of the sudden "transportation" to the One Piece world, he couldn"t help but forget it. "Can you tell me my traits?"

Jiutian nodded slowly as she started speaking. "You have a couple of traits."

"The first is your body. Your body is like a moving Panacea. This in turn gives you the ability to become stronger faster, your senses and intuition is much sharper, and your blood has a healing factor. It can heal heavy injuries in short time and heal others if you drip your blood on someone." Jiutian explained first about Izan"s "perfect" body, as much as Jiutian wanted to stare at Izan"s body, she wouldn"t do it now.

"Your second trait is your high perception, this will let you learn and master movements, techniques, abilities and a lot more by spending minimum amount of time in doing so." At first, perception might not sound that great. But, Jiutian favoured the perception very highly in the regards of gaining the remarkable "powers" in the different worlds.

"And, lastly is about your existence. I can"t explain it as it"s very difficult. But, the trait it gives you is the ability to be free from any "law" anywhere. If I have to give an example, it can go from using s.p.a.ce, time, gravity, life, death and much more." Jiutian said while slowly narrowing her eyes, her eyes were staring ahead with a cold stare, but it vanished within a millisecond.

"Just wait… Izan will regain everything that he had lost…!" Jiutian thought as she sneered in her heart.

"Uh…" Izan didn"t know what to say, his traits where all powerful. Even one of the traits would allow him to become the strongest within some time, but having all of them…!

"Hehe, you do also have to understand. They are your traits, but you have to understand that the last trait is something that you will only be able to gain in the future." Jiutian didn"t want to get Izan"s hope way too high as she mentioned it early on.

Izan nodded without even losing his morale. "I can understand that. Because I haven"t been able to sense the sensation of the last trait, of breaking free from the "laws" of the worlds. I can guess it will only be awakened under some circ.u.mstances."

Izan was smart enough to guess it correctly. Which always did help Jiutian in guiding him further ahead for his wish to conquer everything.

At the opposite side, Nojiko had been listening carefully to their whispers. She had gotten more and more shocked by the sheer amount of "power" Izan could gain. It only did further Nojiko"s thought of her belonging with Izan, a smile slowly appeared on her face as she neared Izan"s body.

Nojiko didn"t touch Izan, nor holding his hand. Yet, Nojiko thought it was enough by just walking near him for the moment.

Izan bit the tip of his finger, a small drop of crimson blood escaped the wound on his finger tip. Izan gazed at the drop of blood before glancing at the unconscious Robin on his shoulder. As a small sigh escaped Izan"s mouth, he raised his finger and placed the drop of blood on Robin"s lips.

The moment the drop of blood came into contact with Robin"s lips, it slowly merged inside of her lips. Robin"s pale skin slowly regained its colour and Izan could sense that the injury caused by Crocodile was healed.

"Really…" Izan was slightly confused over how effective his blood was. Izan shook his head as there were more important things to deal with at the moment.

By the time Izan had calmed down, they were already at the city centre with civilians and marines surrounding them.

"Dear people of Alabasta and marines. I am the Captain of the Heavenly Pirates, "Heavenly Izan"." Izan started speaking in a loud voice which entered in everyone"s ears around the city.

"A long time ago, a man entered the Alabasta Kingdom, and the rain stopped coming. Years pa.s.sed by and the man who caused this was seen as a hero." Izan spoke in a clear tone as he glanced at Smoker. "The man I am speaking about one of the Royal Seven Warriors of the Sea – Crocodile!"

After Izan said this, he raised a severed head up high for everyone to see. This caused mayhem and shock spreading around. Even Smoker"s face paled white at the sight of Crocodile"s head.

"This man, Crocodile…" Izan"s expression slowly changed into a cold one. "He would have killed you all. But, why would I care about that?" Izan"s cold voice sent shivers running through everyone"s bodies. "The only reason I came here, was because Crocodile dared to offend me. Saving the lives of you guys means nothing to me. You"re still alive because I have showed mercy…"

As Izan said this, Izan"s eyes went over the marines. "Now, what about you guys?" Izan"s voice was deep as he continued speaking. "Like I said, I don"t care about any of you. If the navy and the world government takes off my bounty, I might not hunt the puny "Justice" for the moment. But, if the navy and world government still dares to pursue me…"

Everyone froze in their places and couldn"t think as their minds were shocked by what Izan had said. Someone actually dared to threaten the Navy and the World Government at the same time.

While everyone had thought that Izan was crazy, Smoker thought otherwise. From the battle he had with Izan, he knew that Izan was hiding his strength and that he would become stronger with the pa.s.sage of time. Smoker didn"t think that Izan was bluffing…

After Izan had finished speaking, he raised one hand towards the air.

In the background, Jiutian flickered her hand slightly, not wanting anyone to see. With the movement of Jiutian"s hand, the four figures vanished from the centre of the town.

This caused even more disturbance as a group of four people had literally vanished from their spots and nowhere to be found.

After Smoker saw this, he felt horror building up inside of him. When Smoker saw Izan lifting his hand, he knew that Izan was up to something. But, seeing them vanish did shock him even more. "What kind of powers does he have…!"

Near the sh.o.r.es of Alabasta.

Four figures were seen appearing out of nowhere.

"Woah… I have to say Jiutian, your ability was really handy this time." Izan said with a slightly tired tone.

"It"s only useful for actions like these." Jiutian shook her head slightly. Jiutian"s ability was to teleport to somewhere they had been before. "Besides, after so many people seeing us vanish with your movement like that, the navy and the world government will put more importance to you and us." A smile appeared on Jiutian"s face as she walked towards their ship – Defying.

"Your plan is really something out of ordinary, Izan." A smile appeared on Nojiko"s face too. "You"re telling the Navy and the World Government one thing, but you"re actually planning for them to do the opposite. Very cunning, hehe." Nojiko laughed as she reached her hand out and grabbed Izan"s hand.

Izan shook his head slightly. "We can"t be low-key. Showing them that we aren"t afraid will only gain us some publicity. But, if we have power to threaten them while also going against them, that is something else. They will have no other option than too face us." Izan had planned everything from the beginning before they docked at Loguetown.

Little by little, Izan"s plan was becoming clearer as the pieces were moving as he had planned. Now, Izan had to wait to see what the navy and the world government do next. A grin slowly appeared on Izan"s face as he walked towards his ship while having Robin on his shoulder and holding Nojiko"s hand.
