Defying sailed forward, everyone sat on top of the deck on their own chairs, trying to relax. None of them spoke a single word, as they were all getting themselves mentally prepared.Time pa.s.sed by rather swiftly, it took them two hours before they reached somewhere with a tense atmosphere, almost like if there would be sparks appearing out of nowhere.
Izan gazed around with a small smirk, to his left, he saw a ship with a pirate flag, and on top of the deck stood a gigantic man with enormous muscles and huge horns.
"Kaido..." Izan whispered his name out, but he didn"t bother gazing on him any longer. His gaze went forward, where another pirate ship stood with a large woman sitting on a candy throne. "Charlotte..." His gaze went to his right, where there were several marine battleships. "Hehe, Admirals..."
Kaido, Big Mom and the Navy were already here, and right now, every one of them were staring at Izan. They knew that none of them should underestimate Izan as he has showed off his powers and strength every single time, leaving all of them baffled.
On one of the navy battleships, Akainu was sitting on a chair gnashing his teeth, while behind him stood Kizaru, Aokiji and Akira. And on each other battleship, was an Admiral leading a group of marines.
They were all ready to kill every single pirate during the Throne Wars. This was their last try, if they failed, the whole world would go in ruins, but if they succeeded, the world would be a safer place for the people.
"Aokiji, do it...!" Akainu said in a rough voice as he gazed between Izan, Big Mom and Kaido. He was sure that sooner or later, more pirates will arrive, such as Portogas D. Ace and Red-Haired Shanks.
Aokiji nodded before he jumped off the battleship while yelling. "Ice World!" Ice started forming beneath him, turning the sea under him into ice. It only took a few seconds before a radius of five kilometres turned into ice and it went over a kilometre deep.
"Awakening...?" Both Big Mom and Kaido muttered so as they glanced at Aokiji. They had both used their Observation Haki to sense how strong the ice was.
Akainu didn"t bother waiting for their reactions as he roared out while pointing forward. "Get ready, we are going to move forward! Kizaru, lead a group against Kaido. Aokiji, lead another group against Big Mom. Akira, and the rest, follow me to defeat Izan!" After saying this, Akainu"s body turned into magma while he punched forward "Meteor Strike!"
Both Aokiji and Kizaru moved at the same time. But, Kizaru arrived first as he simply appeared behind Kaido and sent a kick towards his head.
Izan glanced at the meteors falling towards Defying, he was slightly annoyed as he flickered his hand. Black"Rose appeared in his right hand and he just waved it casually forward, which managed to send some of its Intent, easily cutting the meteors and pulverising it into nothing.
Giving a glance behind him, Izan could see all of his wives. He could see their bodies and their muscles, he knew that they were prepared to fight and react at any moment. Izan gave a gentle smile as he spoke in a soft tone. "Go wild and defeat anyone you"d like. Both I, Jiutian and Defying will protect you if something unsuspected happens."
"Thank you, Husband!" The first one to speak and move was Hanc.o.c.k, she stepped forward and a bow appeared in her hand and sent hundreds of arrows back towards Akainu and Akira that was following him.
Just a beat behind, Nojiko rushed forward while spinning her pole around her body. And Robin was even prepared as she slowly went forward while holding two daggers in a cross.
Akira pa.s.sed Akainu as she tapped the ground flying towards the flying arrows, her hand turned completely black as she waved her hand, destroying the arrows with ease.
Akainu continued running forward, he and Nojiko were only a few hundred meters apart, not even a second later, they were almost face to face. Akainu threw a punch towards Nojiko"s face.
Nojiko smashed her pole towards him in response, her pole was darkened in Haki.
Akainu"s fist punched Nojiko"s stomach whereas Nojiko"s pole bashed onto Akainu"s face. Burnt skin could be smelled and sounds of cracks could be heard.
Both Akainu and Nojiko were pushed back around ten meters back. Nojiko was skidding backwards, she had a feral expression on her face as she rushed forward once again while yelling "You dare!?"
Behind Akainu was Akira that was about to rush behind Akainu and ambush Nojiko while being in a blind spot. But, something appeared behind Akira which made her jump upwards with a frown on her face.
Robin appeared behind Akira while slashing her dagger at the place Akira was standing on a moment ago. "You"re quite fast, aren"t you?" Robin raised an eyebrow as she gazed at the falling Akira. Several shadows appeared beneath Akira, those shadows looked sharp as daggers.
"Demon Child Nico Robin!" Akira let out a growl as she kicked the air, pushing her forward towards Robin. While being in mid-air, Akira swiftly let her right hand move towards her back where something was strapped to her bare skin. Akira grabbed it and ripped the straps that was holding it on, she swiftly held the weapon that was a short sword with pink flower carvings on it.
Robin was calm as she used her two obsidian daggers to block Akira"s short sword. But, the force itself sent Robin over twenty meters back and her hands were itchy from the clash. "Not only fast, you"re strong too." Robin gave a short glance between Akira and Akainu. "You two have some similarities, family I presume?" Robin asked in a soft voice, but it seemingly angered Akira.
"Don"t you dare speak any words of my Father!" Akira"s eyes suddenly turned blood-red as a pressure gushed out of her.
Izan was still on the ship, he gave a glance at Akira and muttered. "A marine having Conqueror"s Haki? Rather interesting."
