Conqueror Of All 9 Meeting A Navy Captain

They didn't meet any pirates nor marines on their path, which made it so that Izan, Nojiko and Jiutian could focus on their training most of the days beside relaxing, eating and sleeping from time to time.

It was day and the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly. Nojiko, Izan and Jiutian were relaxing on the deck of the s.h.i.+p on their own sun chairs.

Nojiko was enjoying the warmth of the sun as she had her eyes closed, wanting to take a nap. The training which Jiutian made them do was very tedious as it was very repet.i.tive to learn certain movements and how to attack with different type of weapons.

On the other hand, Izan was deep asleep. Whereas Nojiko was made to practice her own strength slowly but surely, Izan had to spar with Jiutian in different combat types.

Izan thought it wasn't that horrible as he was able to see himself progressing very swiftly while being guided in battle by Jiutian which seemed to know absolutely everything.

Still, in the end, Izan's choice of weapon was the large scythe. Izan felt that he could use any weapon without major problems, but he had a sensation that the scythe suited him the best.

"Izan, we are nearing Loguetown." Suddenly, Jiutian spoke and she opened her eyes as she stood up from her sun chair.

Izan opened his eyes without hesitation, almost like he was waiting on hearing Jiutian to say that. Izan gazed at Jiutian and a devilish smile appeared on his face as he saw Jiutian wearing a white dress which looked amazing on her.

Jiutian didn't cover away from Izan's smile, but she didn't respond to it yet. "Nojiko, get prepared." Jiutian said those words which seemed to fade in the wind.

But, Nojiko woke up after hearing her name being called. Nojiko glanced at Jiutian before staring at Izan and a smile appeared on her face. She nodded before going towards her room and change her clothing.

In the last few days, Nojiko had asked Izan and Jiutian a lot of questions and she got to know them better. Aside from their family and their origin, Nojiko knew a lot about them.

Nojiko knew that in Jiutian eyes that Izan was someone supposed to be Supreme which was above everyone else. Nojiko thought it may be because Izan's bloodline or origin is the reason for Jiutian thinking like that.

With the majestic s.h.i.+p, technological equipment of the s.h.i.+p and how Jiutian acted, Nojiko knew that Izan wasn't someone simple. But, after knowing Izan better, Nojiko started liking Izan's att.i.tude of being carefree and his determination of being a Conqueror. Slowly but surely, Izan was becoming more important in Nojiko's heart.

'It seems like that both Nojiko and Izan have grown stronger. At least, Izan has started to change his att.i.tude. This, as I thought, Izan is after all Izan.' A smile appeared on Jiutian's face as she thought of Izan.

'I am glad that Izan was able to get one subordinate, and Nojiko seems to be able to see the greatness of Izan too. There isn't anything I dislike about Nojiko for now. But humph… that orange haired girl was very disrespectful to Izan…' Jiutian's tightened her fist, but she sighed and relaxed her fist.

'I should have killed that girl when I had the chance. Well, no point in thinking about it now, Izan will most likely never meet her again. Even if he does, his opinion of her is rather low.' Jiutian did dislike Nami a lot for showing such disrespectful actions towards Izan. But, in the end, Jiutian didn't act as it could have made Izan sadder.

As Jiutian was deep in her own thoughts, Nojiko and Izan stood by her side while watching the Island – Loguetown in the horizon.

'It seems like we are finally arriving at our destination.' Izan was smiling as he stared at the island in front of him. This will become his starting point.

With a short glance, Izan saw Jiutian in white and Nojiko in black. In Izan's eyes, the two were looking very gorgeous in their dresses. Izan had a smile on his face as he turned his head towards the Loguetown while whispering. "Time to begin my path, and this will become my first stepping stone…"

Time pa.s.sed by swiftly and the s.h.i.+p was nearing the sh.o.r.e of Loguetown. With a small jump, Izan, Jiutian and Nojiko landed on the island.

"Follow me." With an absolute order, Izan started walking without any thoughts of stopping. Izan had spoken with Jiutian and Nojiko about how they were going to act when they arrived at Loguetown.

Nojiko nodded and started walking behind Izan on his left side and Jiutian was on Izan's right side.

As the three were walking, the civilians made a path for them as Izan's current expression was intimidating as he was gazing from one spot to another with a solemn appearance.

While Izan, Nojiko and Jiutian were walking towards the centre of Loguetown, a couple of hidden marines started talking to their Den-Den-Mus.h.i.+ to their superior.

Izan didn't know about this, but he knew something similar will happen. How could the navy let this island be unprotected from unfamiliar groups? 'Come… hehe, come forward and I will stand in front of you all!' Izan's eyes narrowed slightly as he started walking faster.

The nearer Izan came towards the centre of Loguetown, the chillier the atmosphere became. The civilians started running to their houses without making any noise and there were marines in the dark grouping up.

Izan kept his eyes straight forward, not caring about anything at all. Izan had his bearing as an Emperor while walking forward. This might have been way too c.o.c.ky, but Izan knew that he couldn't drop his att.i.tude, because Jiutian told him to have an att.i.tude of an Absolute Conqueror.

Nojiko which was half a step behind Izan had sweat running down her back. She glanced from one spot to another, she could see glimpse of marines grouping up. After a couple days of training with Jiutian did make Nojiko slightly stronger, but Nojiko was still far away from being strong enough to deal with large amount of marines alone.

The calmest of them all was Jiutian. But, even Jiutian didn't smile at this point. She knew that this was an important beginning for Izan and she wouldn't let anything screw up his perfect entrance for the whole world to see.

With a flick of Jiutian's hand, three weapons appeared. One large scythe in front of Izan, a long white katana in front of Jiutian and a golden pole in front of Nojiko.

The three wielded their weapons with fluid movements. Nojiko managed to learn the basics of using a pole in the few days, but she was still far away from becoming 'good' in Jiutian's eyes.

Jiutian held her long white katana in her right hand, she held her katana softly yet with a firm grip which showed her proficient in the arts of slas.h.i.+ng weapons.

Yet the weirdest of them all, Izan held his scythe and rotated it swiftly in his arm. All of Izan's hand movements were swift and flexible which showed how skilled he was wielding the scythe. But, Izan seemed to not see this at all, as he thought that he could only 'play' around with the scythe.

Walking right behind Izan, Jiutian let out a small smile on her face before returning to her solemn expression as she shortly glanced around her. Jiutian was able to sense that dozens of marines were starting to surround them with a couple being a little stronger than the rest.

With Izan in lead, the three of them neared the execution ground of Gol D Roger. The moment they neared it, none of them were able to see civilians around.

"Why bother hide if I can already sense all of you?" Izan said in a loud voice as he didn't even bother turning around them as he kept watching the execution ground.

'Humph. I don't understand why you would sacrifice yourself to start this era. But, in my opinion, it was a foolish decision… I will find what you kept secret, and what the Celestial Dragons are hiding.' Izan kept thinking of what it could have been, but he stopped thinking about that as he could sense a marine walking towards them.

Izan turned around and saw a marine with grey hair and smoking two cigarettes at the same time while holding a jitte.

"How dare you, a pirate step on this island? Let's see if you are worthy enough to step on this island I'm stationed upon." Smoker spoke as he continued smoking.

The air around Smoker started getting dimmer as smoke was filling the area.

On the other side, Izan started walking towards Smoker with large strides. Izan's expression turned serious as he watched Smoker using his Devil Fruit.

Smoker and Izan stood ten meters apart. Everywhere around Smoker turned into smoke as he still held his jitte while watching Izan's every move.

Whereas Izan held his scythe as he kept staring at Smoker. Slowly but surely, a smile crept across Izan's face.
