Both Jiutian and Defying gazed towards where Izan was at Im. Defying"s eyes were squinted slightly as she snorted."Take it easy, let Izan take care of it." Jiutian said in a calm tone as she kept her eyes on Izan. But, her Observation Haki was around the whole area, so she wouldn"t miss what is going on with his wives, not wanting them to get hurt as she had promised Izan that they wouldn"t.
"If he hurts Izan, then I will rip him into thousands of pieces..." Defying responded with a humph. She could see through that Im was a strong person and couldn"t be underestimated.
Right at this moment, a horrifying voice sounded out. "YOU THINK THAT YOU, SOMEONE THAT ISN"T INCLUDED IN THE TIME OF DESTINY, CAN KILL ME?" Im knew all along that Izan wasn"t someone from this world, because everyone on this planet was included in the Destiny of this planet.
But the moment Im finished speaking, he hastily flickered his wrist towards an incoming sword slash. Im saw a large black sword, he could see that the wielder was – Dracule Mihawk. But the moment Im blocked Mihawk"s sword, he could sense someone behind him, stabbing a sword towards his back.
Shanks had already moved the second Mihawk pounced towards Im. He wanted to end Im before he would have the chance to act. As Shank"s sword neared Im"s back, a barrier appeared and stopped his sword, the air around the clash seemed to crack open. Shank"s muttered "Conqueror"s Haki..." He felt that Im"s Conqueror"s Haki was really strong, even stronger than his own.
When Im had sucessfully blocked both Mihawk and Shanks, he couldn"t help but to snort in disdain at the two of them. But, his disdainful expression froze as he felt a powerful force crashing into his body.
Dragon appeared in front of Im and used his Nature Nature Devil Fruit Power into sending a destroying force into Im"s body.
The attack of these three managed to send Im flying a couple of meters backward, but what happened next shocked them too much. Im vanished as appeared in front of Dragon, smacking his face which sent him flying over hundreds of meters away, and the very next second, Im appeared in front of Shanks and made a piercing motion with his hand, stabbing his hand through Shank"s body.
But Im"s attacks didn"t stop, the next person he appeared in front of was Mihawk. Mihawk was prepared for this as he powerfully stabbed forward towards Im, but the only thing Im did was to open his palm and stop the sword without any problem. Im then flickered his hand which made the sword fly away in the distance and then punched Mihawk"s face, which sent him into the water.
"Was that you showing off your ability? What a pity, it didn"t manage to impress me." Izan smirked as he gazed at Im, Izan didn"t bother helping Dragon, Mihawk and Shanks as they meant nothing to him. Because the only thing he was after was Im, he knew he would be able to progress his Soul Strength – Haki while battling against Im.
"DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WORTH MY TIME, PIECE OF TRASH?" Im said disdainfully while gazing at Izan. He noticed that Dragon, Shanks and Mihawk were already behind him again, getting ready to fight once more.
But at time moment, another voice sounded out. "Izan, have you noticed it yet?" Im, Shanks, Dragon and Mihawk glanced towards the female who spoke, she was standing on the Defying, gazing back at them with a smirk.
Izan nodded as he spoke. "Noticed that he is barely a clone, right?" Izan"s words made Dragon, Shanks and Mihawk baffled and afraid to some degree. Even Akainu in the distance listened to what Izan said, he squinted his eyes while gazing at Im, Shanks, Mihawk and Dragon.
"HOW DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT!?" Im slowly turned towards Izan with an angry expression on his disfigured face.
A smirk crept on Izan"s face as he slowly raised his right hand up and flickering it downwards while ordering in a strong voice. "Kneel!" And as Izan ordered, the world obeyed his command.
Im felt a pressure landing on his whole body, almost making all of his bones crack into pieces. He felt his knees weaken and he slowly went down to one knee. Im had a horrifying expression on his face as he glared at Izan.
"I know you are a clone because you are kneeling in front of me. But, no matter if it is just a clone or the real you, you will in the end kneel towards me, the Emperor!" Izan shouted towards the ending, and as the world seemingly could feel his anger, the pressure around Im became even worse as his other knee went down too.
Im coughed up black blood, he could barely breathe in front of the pressure he was under.
Izan lost his interest in the clone of Im, he held Dark"Rose in his right hand and he was swinging it around his body while slowly walking on the air towards the clone. With each step he took, the pressure around Im grew heavier and stronger.
By the time Izan stood in front of the clone, Im could barely see through its hazy eyes. "YOU WILL REGRET DOING THIS...!" Im"s voice was chilly as he threatened Izan, like he was already a dead man.
"I never regret doing anything, nor will I ever do so. You are just in my path, the two of us will fight one day either way, and when that happens, the strongest one of us two will survive. Nothing else, nothing more, you are just too arrogant to understand these things..." Izan muttered, but his voice sounded out throughout the whole battlefield.
Izan raised his scythe up high, and the very next moment, his scythe was already gone. And what replaced it was a flying disfigured head with blood gushing out of a severed neck. The blood was gushing out of the neck like a fountain, a blood fountain.
And as Defying was gazing at the blood fountain, she couldn"t help but to feel happy at the gorgeous sight she was seeing. And, it made it more perfect when she knew that it was her Master - Izan, that had made this piece of art!
