Conqueror Of All

Perona"s eyes turned sharp as she was about to send her ghosts to decapitate the fishman in front of her. But, she was a beat to late as she heard a clear voice behind her.

"And what if we resist?" Izan asked with a small smile on his face, he knew that fishmen and humans were on bad terms, but he didn"t expect it to be this bad.

"…" The fishman glared coldly at Izan before he replied. "Human trash like you are not allowed to talk back to us superior fishmen! Our pirate crew; New Fish-Man Pirates will rule the entire world in time and enslave you puny humans…!" He spoke in a proud tone as he thought that the humans in front of it were already his slaves.

But, before he could even think further, his vision turned dark and he seized to stop exist as his head fell from his body. A black ghost appeared behind him with a phantom sword in its hand.

Before the other fishmen were able to think further, they collapsed on the ground as more black ghosts appeared with different weapons in their hands.

This is what Perona was able to learn in the past few days, she was able to create different weapons for her ghosts to let them fight more fiercer. One of the ghosts used daggers, one used a katana, another one used a pole. The weapons the ghosts could use was different, and it all required Perona herself to understand the weapons, therefore she had learned a little from the others about how to efficiently use weapons.

"Dear, I cleared away the trash!" Perona excitedly spoke as she turned towards Izan with a smile on her face.

"You did well, Perona." Izan smiled in return as he complimented Perona. "Jiutian, tell me, are there anything here that is important for us?" He wanted to be sure before they travelled to the New World.

Jiutian closed her eyes for a brief moment, her eyebrows furrowed for a second before they relaxed. Jiutian glanced at Robin and then Izan before she spoke. "There"s a Poneglyph here." At this, Robin smiled, but her smile vanished as she heard Jiutian continue speaking. "And, there is someone who has an extraordinary soul here too. From what I can sense, it should be one of the most rarest that should exist on this planet." The findings of this only surprised Jiutian only for a moment.

Because at this moment, even Robin"s, Nojiko"s and Hanc.o.c.k"s soul were far stronger than the likes of the one Jiutian had sensed. Because their soul would allow them to grow to the apex of this world without any hinderance.

"Interesting, did you find out what makes that person this special?" Izan nodded as he asked back, Jiutian did tell them about Blackbeard"s soul which was a rarity in itself. But, Jiutian told them that the new person"s soul was even rarer than Blackbeard"s did say something.

"No, I can"t say for sure. I don"t know what this world" Laws are; therefore, I can"t say which souls it could give to its inhabitants." Jiutian sighed as she shook her head slightly.

Izan didn"t mind much, but he turned his head and gazed at the fishmen that were heading their way. They had matching armour and weapons, and the one leading in front was larger, he had blue hair and a shark tail.

The sharkman gazed at the headless fishmen near Defying, his expression was solemn as he gazed towards Izan. His eyes widened slightly as he knew who the man in front of him was. The newspaper described him as one of the worst people to encounter on this world. Most people would even like to face the Emperor of the Seas than this guy; Heavenly Izan…

Sweat was starting to appear on his face, yet he stood there with his back straightened. "I am Prince f.u.kaboshi, may I ask who you might be?" Even if he knew who they were, f.u.kaboshi still asked with a trembling tone.

Izan gazed at f.u.kaboshi, he nodded his head before replying. "I am Izan." Izan raised an eyebrow as he saw f.u.kaboshi tremble slightly, but he didn"t care much of this at all. "f.u.kaboshi, you said you are a prince, right? You wouldn"t be angry at us for killing those guys?" Izan pointed towards the headless fishmen without any care at all.

f.u.kaboshi stared at the fishmen"s corpse, it didn"t take long before he shook his head. "They are pirates that are hara.s.sing even our own citizens, I would rather thank you for doing so."

Izan simply nodded, he could already guess that there was a gap between the fishmen on this island. A group who didn"t despise the humans, and a group that did so.

"f.u.kaboshi, we are looking for a Poneglyph, would you mind showing it to our companion?" Izan asked with a smile.

"Of course, that shouldn"t be a problem." f.u.kaboshi knew that he shouldn"t anger Izan for nothing. He knew that Izan and his crew could destroy the Fishman Island if they wanted to do so. Therefore, f.u.kaboshi would try to appease them.

"You shouldn"t be this stiff, it"s not like I"m a predator that wants to eat, destroy and ravage everything." Izan was able to see f.u.kaboshi"s fear of him and his crew. All in all, Izan didn"t care at what race the other person was, as long as they did have a mutual respect towards each other. If someone showed respect towards Izan with a strength compared to his, then Izan would respect the person back. Like how Izan did respect Whitebeard during the war, and how Whitebeard respected Izan for his strength and att.i.tude.

But, even if there were someone weaker than Izan that respected him, Izan wouldn"t be foolish enough to be arrogant and cause trouble for no reason. He would show at least decent respect in return.

f.u.kaboshi sighed before he calmed himself down, but it was at this moment that he caught onto something. "Don"t you despise us fishmen?" f.u.kaboshi"s question was rather crude, but he wasn"t a person that asked delicately.

"Hahaha, why should I care if you"re a fishman, human, beast or whatever?" Izan laughed before he answered f.u.kaboshi, he simply didn"t care at all, because there only existed one thing that connected all these together, which was – strength and power. Strength, Power, Respect, these were the three things that cared for.

f.u.kaboshi was watching Izan and his wives with a dumb-founded expression as he saw that none of them were staring at him with disgust. Scratch that, Hanc.o.c.k was glaring at them in disgust, but it wasn"t because of race, but simply because they were males. Even f.u.kaboshi could notice the difference between those who hated the race in whole and someone who hated them for being male.

f.u.kaboshi narrowed his eyes slightly before he bowed his head and asked in a loud voice. "As a Prince, I would like to invite all of you to Ryugu Palace to meet with King Neptune!" f.u.kaboshi knew that their Island was in a bad spot already, and if someone like Heavenly Izan could help them, then it would be for the best.

Because after the war on Marineford, they had lost the protection of Whitebeard and Ace still hadn"t appeared yet to rein in the other Commanders to awaken the Pirate crew. And in the meanwhile, another Emperor of the Seas, Big Mom had sent her underlings to speak with Neptune.

Luckily Neptune had told them that they had to think for a week, and the deadline was in four days. If by any chance Neptune managed to ask the a.s.sistance of Izan, then they could be under his protection from pirates and other Emperors. As it was clear that Izan"s prowess was very high and couldn"t be underestimated, only an Emperor would be able to contend against Izan, and it was only for now. Who would know if Izan"s strength would become stronger. This was why f.u.kaboshi wanted to bet on Izan rather than Big Mom.
