The large scythe was dark as the night with a purple shine, the blade on top had a red outline which sent shivers running through everyone that saw it.Izan grabbed the scythe with one hand, even as it looked large and heavy, Izan managed to wield it without any trouble. Izan could feel his heart beating faster, but he started walking towards the marines surrounding the two females, Izan knew that they were Nami and Nojiko.
"Now, do tell me. What kind of morons surrounds two females?" Izan"s deep and cold voice sent shivers running through the marines.
What they saw was a handsome man in jet black clothes, he had blood red hair reaching down to his face as it covered his right eye while holding onto a scythe which made them sweat.
"Who do you think you are?! We are the marine, we are upholding justice!" At that time, one of the marines said in a loud voice.
At that moment, a gloomy aura exploded from within of Izan. A very cold voice sounded out as Izan started walking towards the marines. "Marines? Justice? At first, I didn"t really care about the marines, but with this right now, it makes me have a very bad opinion of the marines. It would be better if I just wiped the marines out from this planet…" As Izan finished speaking, he held up his scythe as he swiped it towards the marines.
Silence, nothing happened afterwards. Only silence which made Nami and Nojiko feel fear. They glanced at the marines falling down one after the other, while the handsome man stood there silently gazing at them.
They felt fear, fear of the handsome man which was strong enough to defeat a dozen marines with a single swipe of his weapon.
Jiutian walked towards Izan as she smiled softly, she was slightly shocked seeing Izan handle his scythe perfectly. Jiutian chuckled inside of her as she was rather happy knowing that Izan would use the scythe from now on.
"It seems like your goal has become to exterminate the marines, how does that feel?" Jiutian laughed as she stared at Izan before sending a glance towards Nami and Nojiko.
Izan shrugged as he didn"t answer Jiutian. And of course, he meant what he said, he would exterminate the "bad" marines… Izan calmed down as he stared at Nami and Nojiko. "Tell me who you are, the name of this island and a map of this sea." His voice sounded warmer than before, but it felt empowering.
As Nami, Nojiko and even Jiutian felt slightly suppressed by his voice. It was like an emperor ordering them and if they didn"t comply, they would be killed as a punishment.
"R-riight!" Nami was stuttering as she tried her best to calm down as she was trying to answer Izan. "I, I am Nami and this is my sister Nojiko. We are in the Cocoyasi village. The map, I don"t have it here…" Nami felt sweat running down her back when she remembered all of her maps was with Arlong.
A long sigh escaped Izan"s face as he saw that both Nami and Nojiko was afraid of him. "Let"s go inside and talk." Izan started walking towards the house before he finished talking.
Jiutian followed behind Izan silently. Nami and Nojiko jumped in fright before rushing towards Jiutian and Izan towards the house.
When Izan entered, he sat on a chair, waiting for the rest to appear. Jiutian sat on a chair near Izan. Nami and Nojiko sat on the opposite side, but they were trembling slightly.
"You don"t have to worry about anything." Izan waved his hand slightly as he smiled softly towards Nami and Nojiko. "Jiutian, would you mind taking this scythe for a moment?" And, with a wave from Jiutian, the scythe vanished.
"Now, let me introduce myself. I am Izan and this is my follower, Jiutian. You could have most likely guessed, we are not from this island." The smile didn"t vanish from Izan"s face as he explained briefly of who he and Jiutian were.
Nami and Nojiko both relaxed when they saw the scythe vanish and Izan smiling softly at them. Nojiko blushed slightly before she opened her mouth. "Izan, may I ask what side you are on?"
"I guess you mean, the marines, world government, pirates and the revolution army?" Izan slightly raised one eyebrow as he stared at Nojiko, only to find her nod meekly. "Well, starting today, another "side" will appear. I dislike the violence of the pirates, the injustice of the marines, the black hearted of the world government and the naïve revolution army."
The more Nami and Nojiko heard, the more they felt afraid of what would happen in the future. They might not be important people in this world, but they had a feeling that Izan was way stronger and would do what he wanted to do.
"Izan…" Nojiko called out to Izan, she had a serious expression on her face as she stared directly at Izan"s eyes. "Let me and Nami join you. I can cook, wash and much more while I can guarantee that Nami is able to navigate throughout any seas."
Izan was feeling rather happy, but he didn"t show any expression on his face. "Oh… so, you"re saying that the two of you, which didn"t even manage to handle some marines is worthy enough to be my subordinate?"
Nojiko and Nami both gritted their teeth as they lowered their heads. Nami knew that she and
Nojiko would be much safer if they could manage to follow him. But even so, Nami felt danger from Izan and Jiutian, Nami was thinking deeply over something.
Before Nami could open her mouth, Jiutian stood up from her chair. "You two, follow me. Izan, would you mind waiting for a slight moment?" Jiutian smiled softly as she walked towards another room with Nami and Nojiko following her.
Izan didn"t mind as he trusted Jiutian and he knew that Jiutian would never endanger him in any way.
Jiutian stood in front of Nami and Nojiko with a cold expression. "The two of you want to join Izan on his journey?" Her cold voice sent shivers running through their bodies.
But, they didn"t falter. Both Nami and Nojiko nodded solemnly.
A sigh escaped Jiutian"s mouth as she calmed down slightly. "I will allow the two of you to be his subordinate, only on one condition." Jiutian waited for a moment as she lowered her voice so that only Nami and Nojiko could hear. "Offer your everything to him, your soul, your body, your mind and everything in between."
Nojiko started blushing, not even long after, Nami understood what Jiutian meant and also started blushing.
"Then… we would also require a request, kill the pirate that is ruling on this island. Then, me and my sister will give our everything to Izan." Nami said in a low voice as her cheeks became redder.
"Humph…" Jiutian gazed at the two of them before she turned around and walked towards where Izan was at. "Consider it done." Jiutian"s voice faded in the air, what Nami and Nojiko didn"t see was that Jiutian was smiling happily.
"Nami… who do you think Izan is?" Nojiko calmed down as she asked her younger sister.
Nami shuddered when she remembered the sight of the light coming from the sky. "I, I don"t know, but the light we saw is not what normal humans can do."
From the answer Nojiko got, she understood what Nami meant. And, even if she didn"t wish to believe it, there was still a whisper telling her that Nami was correct. "At least we will be able to stay safe by his side. And with the agreement, this village will also be saved. This was the best deal we could have gotten." A smile appeared on Nojiko"s face.
"But…" Nami started blushing at the thought of giving her body to Izan. She was reluctant, Nami thought of how to escape from Izan after him killing Arlong.
When Nojiko saw Nami in deep thought, Nojiko thought that Nami was thinking of the request Jiutian made. When Nojiko thought of herself and Izan she started blushing. "Let"s go, we can"t let them wait for way too long." Nojiko b.u.mped her elbow at Nami before walking towards where Jiutian and Izan was at with Nami hurriedly following behind her.
Nami lowered her head as she followed Nojiko, a gleam of light appeared in her eyes as she continued thinking of different plans to run away from the "mad woman" Jiutian and the "scary" Izan.
