79 Clearing future trouble (1/2)
Izan stood up from his bed and walked silently away, he peeked a glance back at the bed, seeing Perona and Shirahoshi sleeping. A smile appeared on Izan's face, but he shook his head slightly as he opened the door and left his own bedroom.
Izan walked away from his bedroom, his facial expression turned solemn as he continued walking. The direction Izan was walking towards was the deck, it didn't take more than a minute before he arrived, he didn't even glance around before he spoke out. ”Jiutian, we need to talk.”
Jiutian was sitting on a chair, drinking sake slowly as she faced somewhere in the horizon. Jiutian nodded in agreement as she turned slowly towards Izan. ”Yes, we do have to talk.”
Izan stepped forward towards Jiutian, Jiutian flickered her wrist which made a red chair appear in front of her. Izan sat down without thinking much of it, after Izan sat down, he stared into Jiutian's eyes. ”I think there are many things that you haven't told me about, can I now know them?”
Jiutian stayed silent for a moment, her usual smile on her face vanished. ”Izan, you have barely touched upon your true strength, and you want to know what lies hidden in the place where the real powerhouses are?” Jiutian shook her head slightly as she continued speaking. ”What you need to focus on is becoming stronger, don't think or worry about matters that won't happen in a long time.”
A frown appeared on Izan's face, he disliked being denied of what he seeks for. But, Izan didn't rebuttal Jiutian, he lowered his head slightly. Izan stood up from his chair slowly, he raised his head and stared at the horizon where Jiutian did previously.
”From what I could sense, there are some people who wants to test my words…!” Izan gazed far away, where there were tens of thousand different people. Some were fishmen, humans and some had animal traits.
In front of the army, stood two males, one was a fishman which he couldn't recognize, but he was able to remember who the other one was. He was Katakuri, the two of them stood there, staring at Defying, or more specific, towards Izan.
Behind the two males, were an army consisting of pirates under the lead of the two males. They had both their own armies, yet they would at this moment stay in an alliance to fight Izan when he was alone. They knew that Izan wasn't someone to be fought carelessly, even more if he had his whole crew, then it would be a tough fight for any of them.
Katakuri sought after the leader of the fishman pirates, he knew that if they had numbers, perhaps they would be able to tire out Izan. Then after Izan was exhausted, him and the fishman near him could kill Izan, the one known as Heavenly Emperor…
”Fish, are you ready to send your men forward?” Katakuri didn't even glance as the fishman, he despised him because the way he got viewed as by the fishman and the fishmen in general. Katakuri was able to see that they disdained him, hated him and despised him, yet Katakuri would use their numbers in exhausting Izan.
”Human trash, don't forget that you came to me, Hody Jones, the one that will rule all the sea when the time comes…!” Hody Jones glared at Katakuri in disdain, yet he glanced behind him towards his commanders and pirate underlings. ”MEN! We are going to face one of the Emperor of the Seas…! Ptui!” Hody Jones spat as he laughed in a deep voice. ”We are the real Fighters of the Seas, Real Men of the Seas, True Emperor of the Seas, that man, 'Heavenly Emperor' is nothing but a mere human scum, we are the strong ones…!”
Hody Jones stopped for a brief moment, he sucked in lots of air before he roared out. ”WE WILL KILL HIM AND SHOW THE ENTIRE WORLD OF WHO WE ARE! CHARGE!!!” Hody Jones raised his arm and pointed at Defying, the moment Hody Jones said 'charge', almost twenty thousand fishman pirates started rushing towards Defying.
Katakuri glanced between Hody Jones and his underlings, yet he snorted in his heart. 'Fishmen might be innate stronger than normal humans, they are nothing in the face of real powerhouses of the New World. Their numbers might not be low, but if they really faced an Emperor, like Red-Haired Shanks, they would be all defeated with mere moves… humph, they are only courting death…!'
Katakuri's gaze turned towards Izan, he wanted to see how the 'Emperor' Izan would act, Katakuri hasn't yet recognized Izan as a real Emperor. But, now Katakuri would see how strong Izan actually is and could report it to his mother – Charlotte Linlin.
On Defying, Izan stared at the army rushing towards him, Izan clenched his fists, not because he was feeling threatened, but because he felt gloomy about someone actually daring to try ambushing him. Izan slowly raised from the deck, he raised several meters above Defying.
