Conqueror Of All

As the days had been pa.s.sing, more and more visitors had arrived at Fishman Island for the wedding. Navy spies, Cipher Pol from the World Government, underlings of the Emperors of the Seas and n.o.bles from different areas around the world.

Everyone wanted to see the Princess mermaid who was known as very beautiful to be wed to the Heavenly Emperor Izan. Many knows that Heavenly Izan was handsome, as even his picture was making him stand out gloriously. But, those who had seen Izan personally would say that the picture is far from the real deal and it the picture is a shame. That is because they would afterwards say that if the most beautiful female is Boa Hanc.o.c.k, then the most handsome male is without no doubt, Izan.

Not many has seen Izan"s real appearance, as most of those who had, were already dead. And the living marines and those who saw the broadcast during the Marineford War were speechless of Izan"s beauty and strength.

Neptune had been overworking himself over the past week with the planning, he had dark rings under his eyes, yet there was a smile on his face. He didn"t know why, but he felt that Shirahoshi would have it way better being outside, seeing the world, rather than being "imprisoned" in Fishman Island.

Neptune walked forward, he could see hundreds of guards around a large building. The guards had sharp expressions on their faces as they stood valiantly there without their eyebrows even twitching.

They were ordered by Neptune himself to guard this area, not letting anyone in without having permission from Neptune himself. It was because his daughter, future son-in-law and Shirahoshi"s future "sisters" were training in that place.

Sounds of clashes, explosions, roars, yells and much more could be heard from outside from the large room. This had been continuing every single day since they went in, for almost twenty hours per day.

Neptune sighed before he went forward without minding the guards, when he was closer, he could hear the noises clearer. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, yet he tried his best in putting up on a smile on his face as he opened the entrance door.

When Neptune opened the door, his facial expression froze, and he couldn"t think clearly any longer. It was because the state of the room was in tatters… The ground was bashed in, the walls were barely standing and the roof was pierced by something small, most likely arrows.

Izan, Jiutian and Shirahoshi stopped for a brief moment as they gazed at Neptune. Jiutian flickered her wrist which made the room restore its previous perfect shape. Izan had a small smile on his face, he didn"t say anything, but he was rather happy at this moment.

A large smile on Shirahoshi"s face appeared as she ran towards Neptune. In one of her hand, she held a red trident which was larger than her height. The trident was over two meters tall, it had dark red carvings on its frame and the trident did also have a pressure it could give off.

While the three of them reacted, Hanc.o.c.k, Perona, Nojiko and Robin were silent as they were seated down with their eyes closed. Nojiko and Robin were training their Observation Haki, meanwhile Perona and Hanc.o.c.k were sleeping. The two of them had been exhausted from overusing their Devil Fruit Powers with their Haki, they had mock battles with Nojiko and Robin.

Hanc.o.c.k was slightly stronger than Robin and Nojiko, while Perona was slightly weaker than the two of them. It was a combination of that they had to work together in being able to fight for a very long time without none of them being able to win.

Robin and Nojiko were almost as strong as each other, but they had clear differences in their fighting. Nojiko liked to be in the front lines, bashing up people with her pole and use her Armament Haki in overpowering her enemies. Meanwhile Nojiko would be at the front, Robin had been working on her Devil Fruit Powers in a.s.sisting Nojiko.

Robin could now use hundreds of arms and coat them in Armament Haki and she could see as well with her eyes closed. She didn"t need her eyes any longer in a fight, therefore she didn"t fear darkness, Robin would rather embrace the darkness and fight in it.

The mock sparring between Robin and Nojiko versus Perona and Hanc.o.c.k could last for hours upon hours. They would always end up with having injuries on their bodies. The reason for all of them going this far in their battles was because they had a deal between each other. The winning team would end up having Izan in their resting periods, while the losers had to fight each other while the rest were resting.

They had been fighting daily almost for a whole week, yet there weren"t a winning team yet.

"Let"s finish our session, this island has a lot of interesting visitors." Izan stood up and smiled, he didn"t think much as he walked towards another door which had a large bath in it.

Hanc.o.c.k"s face blushed red as she rushed towards Izan, she wouldn"t think twice before going in there with him.

Izan sighed as he could sense that everyone walked towards him, even Shirahoshi…

Neptune stood there not knowing what to do, he knew what was happening, but he had no way of understanding it clearly. Neptune shook his head before he absentmindedly walked away. His goal was already completed as he wanted to inform Izan and Shirahoshi about the wedding.

Neptune didn"t even order a wedding dress for Shirahoshi as he was told by Izan that he would personally give one to her. Neptune came out of his daze as he walked towards one of the inner rooms of the castle. Where the visitors were waiting for the great wedding.

It was a grand wedding that Neptune had planned, he had spent a large amount of his treasury to create the most amazing wedding. There was decoration everywhere he gazed at, the walls were covered in red silk which had engravings on them. Gold were literally hanging off from the roof in different shapes.

None of these mattered much to Neptune, as he wished for a wedding that Shirahoshi wouldn"t forget, even after leaving with Izan. Yes, Neptune knew that Shirahoshi would leave and travel the world with Izan. As much as Neptune didn"t like the idea, he knew it would be the safest place for her to be near Izan. Neptune knew of the ability Shirahoshi had, the power of an Ancient Weapon – Poseidon.

Neptune cleared his mind as he went into the room where hundreds of people sat and spoke to each other. Some were from the News Central, some were pirates from different groups, some were mafias, some were royals, and some were marines in hiding…

"Cough cough…" Neptune faked two coughs as he went on the stage, he stared at everyone before he continued speaking. "My daughter, Princess Shirahoshi and Heavenly Emperor Izan will be coming shortly. This wedding between Izan and Shirahoshi is a connection between his Pirate Crew and my Kingdom. From this moment of, Fishman Island and the Heavenly Pirates are in an alliance together. We, the fishmen and mermaids of Fishman Island will help the Heavenly Pirates if the situation requires for it, and the Heavenly Pirates will help us in return in same regard."

At this, many begun murmuring. It was because they knew that the Fishman Island would be under Izan"s protection. Not many of the New World inhabitants would think much of the strength Neptune and his guards had, but they knew that Izan was something they shouldn"t confront in the future. Izan"s t.i.tle of an Heavenly Emperor wasn"t for nothing.
