77 Wedding nigh (1/2)

Izan leaned towards Shirahoshi and overlapped her lips with his own, he kissed her tenderly before leaning back. He had a gentle smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel lucky over finding the ones he had so far, now Izan just wanted to enjoy the moment where he could rest peacefully.

Shirahoshi was dumb-struck, she couldn't understand what happened for a good while before her entire face turned bright red, she stood there frozen, staring at Izan in wonder and surprise.

In the background, Neptune stood there gnashing his teeth, but he held himself back as he knew it wasn't his say any longer, as his daughter now was wedded away to Izan. Neptune calmed himself down slightly as he sighed deeply in his heart 'maybe this is for the best... Madam Shyarly wouldn't say what the future held in for Izan, but her gaze spilled the truth. Something would happen, and Izan will be the saviour…'

Neptune might be too good of a person to be a king, but he couldn't help but to help others if he could. He did wish for the best for everyone, may it be his guards or the inhabitants of his kingdom. Neptune did see a bleak future for his kingdom, the pirates, the Emperors, the Celestial Dragons, the World Government, all of those could threaten Ryugu Kingdom. But with Izan's name as his support, most people wouldn't dare to offend them any longer, unless they wanted to fight Izan personally.

”Hehe…” Izan laughed in a low voice as his smile turned brighter, he lowered his body once again and lifted Shirahoshi's body in a princess carry before he vanished from his spot.

All the guests in the room was shocked as they couldn't find Izan and Shirahoshi anywhere. The underlings of the Emperors, the spies of the World Government had cold sweat running down their backs as they were sure that they would die without knowing what had happened if they were to fight Izan. Izan's speed was way too fast for any of them to comprehend.

But there was one person that wasn't too surprised, that was because he knew that this would happen, he had a long scarf covering his mouth. This person was of course Katakuri. He was well above others in Observation Haki, he had trained it to the point that he could see a small glimpse of the future.

Katakuri knew that this would happen, but he was still shocked in not being able to detect Izan or Shirahoshi any longer. Yet when he tried glancing around, he heard a cold voice near his ear. ”Why are you here?” The voice Katakuri heard was beautiful, but the coldness in it made him shiver for some reason.

Katakuri stayed silent for a bit before he answered in a whisper. ”I am here to deal with Heavenly Emperor Izan…” He didn't mind saying the truth, what Katakuri thought is that only Izan would be his match, not anyone else, even if they had mysterious abilities.

”Go to the New World and wait there for him, Izan will deal with you when we arrive there. But, if you persist in dealing with Izan here, I will have no choice in killing you right now…!” Jiutian whispered so that only Katakuri could hear her, not even Robin by her side did manage to hear Jiutian.

Katakuri stayed silent for a bit before he stood up and left the hall without anyone releasing it. He could sense that the person he heard wasn't lying, therefore he left. Katakuri wasn't too happy about things going as it was, but he knew he had to stay patient for a bit longer before he could deal with Izan.

Beside the leaving Katakuri, one more person vanished without anyone noticing…

Izan was able to sense what was going on in the castle, he didn't mind the Katakuri person as he seemed rather interesting in his attitude and he did have some certain strength to back him.

Izan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he sensed someone else rushing towards him and Shirahoshi, when he felt who it was, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Yet there was a smile on his face, he whispered in a low voice ”Jiutian, do you mind teleporting us to Defying, including her…” Izan wasn't efficient enough in his Law to defy it completely, therefore he could only ask Jiutian for her help.
