Conqueror Of All

Izan narrowed his eyes slightly as he saw something far away, it was just a dot, but Izan could guess what it was. A smile appeared on Izan"s face as he turned around and walked towards a table. "Jiutian, can you place a bowl of water and a platter of seed? It seems like a guest will arrive shortly." Izan"s smile was genuine, he could guess that the dot in the sky was a News Coo, Izan has met a few of them, and he enjoyed feeding them when they would arrive.

Jiutian nodded and flickered her wrist which made a bowl of water appear and a plate with lots of seeds. Jiutian didn"t mind that Izan seemed to care for those animals that carried around the news, no, it was more like Jiutian appreciated how Izan took care of them.

It didn"t take long before the News Coo appeared above Defying, Izan gestured it to come down with a smile on his face. As the News Coo came down, Izan approached it while speaking. "I will take a newspaper, why don"t you relax here for a moment to drink and eat a little before leaving?" While Izan was speaking, he petted the News Coo"s head.

The News Coo seemed to think for a bit before it nodded and turned towards the table. A glint appeared in its eyes as it could remember how some of his friends had told him about a certain pirate captain that treated them well, gave them water to drink and seeds to eat.

While the News Coo started eating the seeds and drink the water, Izan took a newspaper and put some money in its pouch. Izan unfolded the newspaper and started reading the frontpage.

"Navy Headquarters in the New World!"

"After the War during the execution, the Navy Headquarters got destroyed by the pirates. With Akainu in the lead of the Marines, they have started to recruit new Admirals and place their HQ in the New World."

"The new Admirals are respectively, Ryokugyu, Fujitora, Zephyr, Smoker, Joynus, Lockyad and an unknown female. All of them has great strength and sense of Justice, wanting to uphold the Justice, they have stepped forward, wanting to defeat the Pirates in the New World with their new Fleet Admiral, Akainu!"

"Heh…" Izan read to this point and seemed to be amused. "This Akainu is rather interesting, Justice might not be the right word, but he is at least smart…"

Jiutian seemed to think for a bit before she commented. "You are indeed right, he uses the situation perfectly to the best. He used the loss during the war to recruit new Admirals, and not only one or two, but many of them. Their strength shouldn"t be bad either. Yet, as you said, Akainu might not seem to be on the side of Justice as he has his evil ways of obtaining it, there is no denying that he is a smart man that would use any way possible to win in the greater picture."

Izan raised an eyebrow, it was rather rare for Jiutian to compliment others. But, Izan"s solemn expression changed to a joyful one, he was happy that Jiutian was also slowly changing while staying with himself and his other wives.

It was during this that the News Coo pecked slightly at Izan, when Izan turned towards it, the News Coo seemed to bow slightly before it spanned its wings and flew away.

"What do you reckon, how long will it take before the Throne War will begin?" Jiutian asked Izan as she seemed to glance at the News Coo disappearing in the horizon.

Izan stayed silent for a bit as he lowered his head. "The Navy is already preparing for it, I can"t say much about the Emperors as I don"t know how they stand, some other pirates could also intervene or want to try their luck during the Throne War. Same as the underlings of the World Government, they should have already prepared their moves too, Dragon with his group of Revolutionary should be ready at any notice to fight during the War. The remaining aren"t important at all…" Izan tried to make sense of the situation as he kept on speaking.

"The battlefield wouldn"t be on ships as there are too many that has Devil Fruit abilities, neither side would limit their strength because of this plan. Therefore, there are two conclusions left, either the War will be placed on an island, or on top of the sea. That Admiral, Aokiji, he would be able to freeze the ocean to some degree which would be enough for the partic.i.p.ations." Izan had to think too deeply on this matter as there were too many ways of how the War would begin and of all the partic.i.p.ants.

A smirk slowly appeared on Izan"s face, he didn"t know why, but whenever he was deeply thinking of something, Izan would sense something similar to enjoyment. "From what I want to guess, a month at the nearest and two months at the least, no one wants to go without preparing for their best. None of them are stupid enough to underestimate their enemies too much, they must have certain strength and power to back themselves up."

Jiutian didn"t seem to care much of the enemies they would face in the future, what she wanted was that Izan would fight someone worthy enough to raise his limits even higher and grow his Haki. "Izan, what do you want me to do during the War?" She felt that if she personally joined the War and used all of her strength, then there weren"t any that could stop her from killing everyone.

Izan turned towards Jiutian. "I want you to overview the entre War, don"t miss any movements of anyone. As I said, this war is just a prelude to something bigger. I believe that the one I want to face won"t appear during this war, that he or she would only appear when all is done. Till then, take care of anyone that could threaten any of my wives." Izan knew that with his current strength, he wouldn"t be able to protect everyone by himself while fighting the monsters that roams the seas.

Jiutian knew what Izan was thinking about, she couldn"t help but to raise an eyebrow as she asked Izan with a calm tone. "Who are the ones you want to fight during the War?"

Izan lowered his head slightly before he raised it and stared into Jiutian"s eyes with a grin on his face. "All of them!" Izan couldn"t help but to chuckle before continuing speaking. "As of now, my strength would compare to an Emperor if I"m not mistaken, with one more month of training my body will make my strength above most of them. I want a challenge that will push me to my limits."

Jiutian didn"t mind it and just nodded without thinking about it too much, a battle was the fastest way to become stronger. "Indeed, being pushed to your limits will most likely push your senses and your soul strength will be able to grow stronger rapidly. But do remember, that your objective is to improve your soul strength, Observation, Armament and Conqueror"s Haki."

"I know…" Izan sighed before smiling gently as he slowly reached out towards Jiutian and held her in his embrace softly. Izan closed his eyes as he enjoyed the soft touch of Jiutian. "Just let me stay here for a bit, it is very relaxing…" Izan muttered, he kept his eyes closed as he started breathing calmly.

Jiutian didn"t respond, she could sense that Izan"s breathing calmed down and he slept while hugging her. Jiutian smiled gently as she supported Izan"s body.
