74 A fast spreading news (2/2)

Dracule Mihawk appeared far away within couple of seconds, he stood in front of a one-handed man with red hair and has three scars across his left eye.

This person was another Emperor of the Seas, Red-haired Shanks. Shanks didn't mind Mihawk's appearance as he was reading two different reports he had been given.

”Shanks, the rise of Heavenly Emperor Izan is not something that had been planned. The War started with…” As Mihawk explained in details to Shanks, Shanks was quiet and listened to every word of Mihawk, yet there were small facial movements at times.

Towards the end, Shanks sighed as he heard Blackbeard had died and Ace survived. He had a bad foreboding that Blackbeard would be a pain if he had managed to survive the War.

”In regards to the information I need, is there any progress?” Mihawk asked as his eyes narrowed slightly.

Shanks nodded in return as he lowered his head. ”After I had stopped Kaido before the war, I went to see the five old men and afterwards, Im… It seems that Izan has breached the plans and fate of this world, for the better or for the worst, I do not know. But, what I know at least is that Im wants Izan killed with no chance of survival…”

Before Mihawk could say anything, Shanks continued. ”Besides, with the minor information I got, it seems that the World Government had their eyes on your Kingdom since a long time ago. They knew that your family bloodline was far too superior and didn't like the threat of it, therefore they sent the marines and killed everyone but you. They want to hold you as their servant and kill other pirates for them.”

When Mihawk heard this, a pressure gushed out of his body. Mihawk was one of the few that had Conqueror's Haki, and his Haki was very strong that even Zoro at the shore felt the pressure and almost lost his senses. Mihawk grabbed his black sword behind his back and slowly slashed it towards the heaven.

With the slash done, it seemed that the world was cut into two by the sword. The heaven seemed to lose, and the cut opened it, leaving only a black mark…

It took half a minute before the heaven was restored as Mihawk calmed himself down. ”Shanks, we can't follow our plans any longer. The Throne War will begin in not long, and the one you chose will not be ready during this short time. I believe in what Whitebeard said, the one that will be able to fight for the Throne will be Izan in regards to the younger generation.”

”Yes, I understand, Captain…” Shanks had a smile on his face as he knew that the Throne War will be the final battle he would be fighting. And the ones he had served before would be his enemy in the future.

Fishman Island.

Neptune had spread the news of his daughter marrying the Heavenly Emperor Izan for the past two days. Now the entire world knew it and they also knew that from this moment on, no one would dare to mess with the fishmen or mermaids any longer unless they wanted to mess with an Emperor of the Seas.

Whilst Neptune was spreading the news of this, every mermaid and fishmen were shocked to hear about it. That the Princess of the kingdom would be wed to a pirate and the pirate himself was an Emperor. They were surprised and joyful for this news, hopefully this would start a journey for them to the point that they won't be suffering any longer from other pirates, marines and the World Government.

Izan, Jiutian, Nojiko, Robin, Hancock, Perona and Shirahoshi were all in a locked room where they were training. Izan and Jiutian used most of their time in helping Shirahoshi as she had never trained before or injured anyone in her past.

But they were shocked by how strong Shirahoshi was, her body was smaller than her mermaid form, but her strength remained. Shirahoshi could to some degree have the same strength as Nojiko without her Armament Haki.

Even at this moment, Shirahoshi hasn't decided on what weapon she would like to wield, yet she did her best in being able to train more with Izan. She was very timid and shy, but she knew that when she would follow Izan, it would be a path of danger. And Shirahoshi didn't like the thought of being a burden to Izan, therefore Shirahoshi had tried her best…
