Conqueror Of All

Garp and Ace were asleep in their own rooms. The remaining ones, Luffy, Sabo, Koala and Nami were sitting around a table.

"Nami, can you tell us how you know the Heavenly Pirates?" Sabo asked as he tapped the armrest with his index finger on his left hand.

"… Nojiko is my adopted sister…" Nami continued explaining of where she came from, her and Nojiko"s encounter with Izan and how she had tried to misuse Izan"s trust to kill Arlong.

Luffy was shocked by hearing what Nami did to such a nice person. He tried to hope that what Nami had said was false, but he couldn"t believe it himself as he had clearly seen Jiutian"s reaction and the rest of the Heavenly Pirates.

"Such a blunder. Let"s hope that they aren"t petty enough to do something. As they did actually come with us willingly, for now. All we can do is wait for what is going to happen." Sabo sighed as he glanced at Nami. He did have a good first impression of her and her ability. But they vanished after hearing this.

"I…" Nami didn"t know what to say or think. She could never have guessed that the "kind and ruthless" man she had met would grow up to be such a person in a short time. Nami had read the newspaper of what the Heavenly Pirates did and she could only watch her sister and the man obtaining such fame over he entire world.

She had thought that she could also do he same, that was why she agreed on joining Luffy"s crew. Yet in this war, Izan and his crew had overshadowed everyone. Even Whitebeard had said that he favoured Izan than everyone else.

Nami could only hope that none of Izan"s crew or he himself would stay angry at her for long.

On the Defying.

Izan was sleeping on his bed with his wounds slowly healing.

Hanc.o.c.k, Jiutian, Robin, Nojiko and Perona were together in a room. None of them were speaking. All of them beside Jiutian were tired, yet they were awake and about to talk about what they were going to do as they had decided to meet up with the Revolutionary Army"s leader.

"Their leader, Dragon, is one of the strong people in this world and he asked if he could meet up with Izan. This is either for getting support because of his strength, or the one behind him, or try to get a friendly relationship with us." Jiutian explained what she did during the war, that she had warned the three strongest beings near the battlefield.

Hanc.o.c.k narrowed her eyes slightly. "I never knew that there were people watching the war unfolding without us knowing." Hanc.o.c.k was a little bit angry at herself. She didn"t wish that something like his happening in the future.

Robin and Nojiko nodded weakly too, it wasn"t a good feeling knowing that someone had watched them without them knowing it.

"Enough of that!" Perona"s voice was loud and clear, she hated that everyone was feeling down and upset." Let" us be cheerful, we outlasted the war. We swept the war and came out as he victor!" Perona"s cheerful aura was slowly affecting the others as they did also start smiling at the thought that they pretty much were the victors of such a large scaled war.

The day turned dark and everyone went to sleep. Letting Defying follow the Revolutionary ship by its own pace.

When the sun was rising from the horizon, people started waking up.

Including one of them, was Izan. He opened his eyes slowly as it was too bright in the room. He felt his body was extremely heavy and he could feel pain all over his body. Izan peeked a glance towards his chest and his eyes widened slightly.

During the night, Perona and Hanc.o.c.k had sneaked into Izan"s bedroom and slept while using Izan"s body as a pillow.

Izan saw Perona to his left and Hanc.o.c.k to his right. Izan used his Observation Haki and could sense many people under his domain. Izan could feel another ship leading Defying somewhere and there were many people on the ship.

"Wake up, it"s morning right now." Izan"s voice was weak and hoa.r.s.e, yet it woke up both Perona and Hanc.o.c.k without a moment of pause.

That was because Perona and Hanc.o.c.k were waiting for him to wake up. Even if Izan whispered, they would be able to hear it and wake up.

"Dear! You are finally awake!" Perona"s voice was filled with joy. She had been sad that Izan was injured and angry at the Admirals for harming him.

Hanc.o.c.k didn"t say anything, she only snuggled closer to Izan. She had been scared when she first saw how injured he was after the war. But the only thing she could do was to watch.

"I am fine." Izan"s voice was hoa.r.s.e, but it was also powerful. He could clearly see Hanc.o.c.k"s and Perona"s worried expressions. "Tell me, what happened afterwards I can sense that Defying is following another ship right now." Izan was curious about who they were following and why they did so.

"Husband, they are the Revolutionary Army, they had invited us to meet their leader, and Jiutian accepted on your behalf." Hanc.o.c.k replied, but she was also hesitant of telling Izan about the girl, Nami. Hanc.o.c.k knew that his feelings were crushed b Nami when he first came to this world. Hanc.o.c.k opened her mouth and said in a weak voice. "That Nami girl is also on that ship, she had joined the Revolutionary."

Izan raised one eyebrow, but he didn"t say anything at all. He closed his eyes and sighed before opening them, Izan stared at Perona and Hanc.o.c.k. "Why should I care what she does? I gave her a chance and she declined it. I don"t care if she regrets it or not. Because I don"t have time to waste on her when I have my wives to prioritize." Izan"s voice was calm and soothing. As Izan had said, he literally didn"t have time to think about other things.

Hanc.o.c.k snuggled in Izan"s embrace, her cheeks were red, and she whispered in a low and shy voice. "Husband, when you will take me as yours?" Hanc.o.c.k asked as she had been hoping that Izan would do so one day.

"Dear, don"t you dare forgetting about me" Perona"s voice was loud that it echoed throughout Defying. But Perona didn"t care about that, what she cared about was only Izan and how she could enjoy more of Izan"s care and love.

"From what you have told me and from what I can guess, we will be busy till we have spoken with their leader. I promise it will happen after that." Izan had to speak with Jiutian about what happened during the war. And why they were visiting the Revolution Army.

"Let"s get up, I have to speak to Jiutian and meet the Revolutionaries today. There are a few questions that I need to be answered." Izan spoke with a calm voice, yet his expression betrayed it. Izan had a smile on his face for some reason. It felt like that Izan had finally waken up from deep sleep which had lasted for millions of eras…

Inside Izan"s soul.

The s.p.a.ce inside Izan was dyed in purple and blood-red. Izan"s soul was very large and there were no boarders to reach.

A large snake was roaming around, the snake had become over fifty kilometres long now. It had grown stronger since it entered Izan. The snake has been roaming around Izan"s soul non-stop with a seemingly smile on its face.

Suddenly a monstrous pressure pushed everything down. The snake widened its eyes in horror as it stared at the thing in front of it.

A single eye shone in a silver light. The eye alone was over hundred times large than the snake.

"GURAAAGH!" A roar Shook and trembled everything inside of Izan"s soul. The snake knew it was still alive because the creature in front of it allowed the snake to live. Or else it would have been pulverized into nothingness of the roar.
