Jiutian jumped down and landed softly near Izan. "I have dealt with Gecko Moriah, there shouldn"t exist any threats left on this boat." Jiutian did also glance towards Defying for a second, but she didn"t say anything as she saw Izan barely shaking his head which only she noticed."Husband, can we finally leave this place now?" Hanc.o.c.k asked in a sweet voice as she was clinging to Izan"s arm.
"Yeah, we"re leaving right now." Izan nodded as he began walking towards the direction of Defying. "Robin, Nojiko, how did it go in fighting as a team?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"It went really well. Both Hanc.o.c.k"s and Robin"s abilities made it easier for me to use all of my strength during the battle." Nojiko replied with a bright smile on her face.
"As Nojiko said, our abilities are good when used as a combination. If we were stronger and had more practice, it would have been faster and easier to deal with that giant." Robin knew that their coordination could have been better, but she did see a great potential in fighting as a team with Nojiko and Hanc.o.c.k in the future.
"Great, we will practice Haki for the next few days until the war. Our strength is good, but far from enough to do enough in the upcoming war. As far as we know, there will be an Emperor, and five marines with the strength of an Admiral in the war." Izan knew that the potential of Haki was large and their strength would significantly increase too.
It didn"t take long before they arrived near Defying. Izan jumped on the deck while carrying Hanc.o.c.k in a princess carry. Jiutian jumped right behind Izan, whereas Nojiko to his left and Robin to his right.
The second the landed on deck, Hanc.o.c.k jumped off Izan"s embrace and summoned her bow, tracing the string and her eyes were squinted slightly
Nojiko summoned her golden pole and stood in front of Izan. And Robin flickered her hands where two golden daggers appeared.
"Who are you and how do you dare to stay on Husband"s ship!?" Hanc.o.c.k spoke in a cold voice as she stared at the person in front of her. Even Nojiko and Robin stared at the person coldly. Only Izan and Jiutian weren"t surprised.
The person they were staring at was a short young girl with unusually big, round eyes, and has long pink hair that is kept into two pigtails with black and white flower hairpins. She was wearing a red crown with a black cross on her head, as well as red lipstick and a thick layer of black eyeliner.
She was wearing a black gothic dress with white frills, red shoes and holding a red umbrella I"m her hand. She was nervously staring at Izan, her body was trembling as she was watching Hanc.o.c.k, Nojiko and Robin preparing to attack her. The only thing she could do was to stare at Izan with a pitiful expression as her eyes slowly became wet.
"Why aren"t you answering? You must be a pirate under Gecko Moriah, are you here wanting revenge for your captain?" Robin asked in a cold voice.
The pink haired girl tried to shake her head, she was way too afraid to speak as she had seen them defeating Oars, and she did also see Jiutian torturing Gecko Moriah. She only stared at the only male, Izan. She had only hoped that he was kind as beautiful he was.
"Calm down, it is already clear that she isn"t here for a fight." Izan sighed as he told his thee wives to calm down. "Let"s go inside and there you can tell us shy you came here, okay?" Izan asked the pink haired girl with a soft smile on his face.
The pink haired girl nodded in a daze, she was very confused over that how kind, gentle and beautiful Izan was. She was afraid of the four women standing near him, she was wondering who they were to the man.
The six of them walked inside with Izan in lead, Nojiko, Robin and Hanc.o.c.k were still keeping watch on the young girl with pink hair, they had a feeling that she wasn"t completely helpless and weak as she seemed to be.
It took them half a minute before they arrived in the dining room. Izan motioned everyone to sit as he went to his b.l.o.o.d.y red chair.
A pink chair appeared out of nowhere, the pink haired girl slowly went to it and sat on it. She said seen that all of them were sitting on their respective chairs which had a matching colour as their personalities.
"Now that we"re all calm, how about you telling us who you are and why you decided to board my ship?" Izan asked with a calm voice as he was observing the pink haired girl"s expression.
"My name is Perona..." Perona spoke in a low voice as she mustered her courage to continue speaking. "I was a member if Gecko Moriah"s crew." Perona lowered her head deeper when she felt their cold gazes. She glanced up and saw all the females were staring at her with cold eyes, while only Izan was watching her with a smile.
"And your reason on boading this ship?" Nojiko asked as he coldly stared at Perona. Nojiko had no good thoughts about Gecko Moriah and his crew.
Perona"s body started trembling, but she calmed herself down and raised her head and stared at Izan. "I want to join you...!" Perona"s voice was slightly louder as she had managed to build enough courage to say that.
"Why is that? And what can you offer our pirate crew? And what can you even give Izan for letting you stay with us?" Robin asked as she crossed her arms and stared at Perona"s dazed expression.
"... I am strong, I am a Devil Fruit User." Perona"s voice trembled slightly, but she was surprised by how calm they were about when she told them that she had eaten a Devil Fruit.
"So what? All of us can beat you. Your strength isn"t better than any of us." Robin answered with a mocking tone.
Perona was staring to lose her confidence as she was seeing everyone if them didn"t bother about her strength or Devil Fruit. "I... I..." Perona didn"t kis what to say as she kept glancing between the people in front of her.
"Now, do you wish to leave this ship by yourself, or do you want one of us to throw you out of Husband"s ship?" Hanc.o.c.k asked without any care as she stared at the trembling Perona.
Perona"s eyes widened as she felt fear. Her eyes became watery as she tried to speak. "I... I can do anything...! I don"t want to die here. I want to stay with that handsome man...!" Perona"s voice turned from cries into yelling as she pointed towards Izan. It had been love on first sight for Perona, she couldn"t help but to stare at his handsome face and think about him.
Jiutian shook her head in defeat. "Izan, your charm is way too great for people... Maybe I should just lock you in a room for only us to enjoy...!" Jiutian spoke her thoughts loud, which gained Hanc.o.c.k"s, Nojiko"s and Robin"s approval and Izan"s shivering.
"Cough cough..." Izan faked two coughs as he thought it would be for the best to forget about Jiutian"s comment.
"Perona was it? We will allow you to stay with us for now. But, we will keep an eye on you. Make a mistake and you"re out." Nojiko stated calmly with a sigh.
"Yeeey!" Perona shouted our happily as she jumped towards Izan with a cheerful smile on her face. She landed on top of Izan"s embrace, she hugged him and stroked her cheeks on his chest while muttering. "I love you. I love you. I love you. Kyaaa, I love you!!!" Perona kept doing this as everyone watched her with a dumb-founded expression.
"Hey! That"s my spot! Don"t you dare stealing Husband right in front of me!" Hanc.o.c.k yelled out as she tried to push away Perona. But whatever Hanc.o.c.k tried to do, failed. It seemed that Perona was glued to Izan like a koala. Perona continued saying. "I love you." To Izan as Hanc.o.c.k was telling out in despair as she tried pushing Perona away.
