Conqueror of All 10 Absolute victory

Izan narrowed his eyes slightly as he didn't put his eyes off Smoker even for a moment. After ten whole seconds in silence, Izan opened his mouth. A calm and deep voice sounded out throughout the whole area. "A pirate you say…? Hehe, I will gladly accept it for now." Izan's voice had a mocking tone in it.

After a second, Izan's voice sounded out once again. But this time, Izan's voice was cold as ice. "I will abolish the lowly name you, a marine and the world government gave me because I'm standing on the opposite side of your team. For when I stand above all of you as you are kneeling to me, then you will all understand what you guys have done."

"For I am Izan, the Captain of the Heavenly Pirates!" Izan glared coldly at Smoker and the rest of the marines. "This is my starting point. And, I will show the entire world of who I am." A majestic aura gushed out of Izan as he started walking towards Smoker.

Step by step, Izan neared the dumb-founded Smoker. Smoker was dumb-founded because of Izan's aura, but not scared. As Smoker was a Logia user, he wasn't scared of any wounds unless it was imbued with Haki or a weapon made from sestone.

Izan raised his scythe and swiped it towards Smoker.

Smoker and all the marines didn't think that it would hurt Smoker. Yet, what they didn't expect was that blood was gushing out from Smoker's chest.

All the marines and Smoker widened their eyes in shock. "What?! How did that pirate injure Smoker, he has a Logia Devil Fruit!!!" The marines were shocked by the sight.

Still, they are marines with experience, they lifted their rifles towards Izan, aiming carefully as they were waiting for Smoker's order.

Smoker wasn't doing any better, as he was surprised by being injured from Izan's weapon. Smoker quickly figured out that the scythe was made from sestone as his own jitte.

"Fire!" Smoker roared out as he swiftly escaped inside of his smoke.

"Bang!" Tens of gun shots could be heard in the area, they were all aimed at Izan.

Izan knew that this would happen, a smirk appeared on his face as he started spinning the scythe in front of his body. With each bullet nearing him, it would hit the scythe and deflect towards the area it came from.

The scythe stopped moving after all the bullets were deflected, but Izan shook his head and sighed. "None of the bullets hit the marines…" Still, Izan's smirk reappeared at the thought of that he could still improve.

"Jiutian, Nojiko. Block the marines while I'm fighting against Smoker." Izan said in a deep voice as he glanced at the smoke surrounding him.

With a nod, Jiutian tapped the ground and pounced towards the marines which were trying to reload their rifles. Not that far behind, Nojiko positioned her pole in front of her as she ran towards the marines.

"Be careful!" A female in marine clothing stepped forward. She had dark blue hair, glasses and wielding a katana as she stood in front of the marines.

Jiutian glanced shortly at Tashigi before running towards her. With swift movements, Jiutian's and Tashigi's katana met with a clash. Jiutian stood there without moving, on the other hand, Tashigi was pushed back fifteen meters.

Tashigi had a shocked expression plastered on her face as she stared at Jiutian. Tashigi was very surprised that someone that strong and beautiful would become a pirate.

"Huh… not a waste then." Jiutian seemed to be disappointed as she wasn't able to defeat Tashigi with one of her weakest moves.

Tashigi was trembling slightly, but she didn't back down as she placed her katana in front of her in a defensive position. "Tell me why someone like you would become a pirate?" Tashigi couldn't keep it in as she was really angry that Jiutian wasn't someone on "Justice's" side.

"You're talking about the marines being the Justice and the pirates are the Evil faction?" Jiutian's expression hardened as she started walking towards Tashigi in a slow pace.

"I don't really care, but it seems like you're blind and all of your senses are blocked by the tasteless trash of the marine and world government…" Jiutian spoke in a cold voice as she narrowed her eyes. "Don't joke with me, the "Justice" you are speaking about is a fragile illusion which will be broken by Izan!"

Tashigi was scared by the pressure Jiutian was showing while Jiutian was walking towards her. Tashigi couldn't move a muscle, she wasn't able to move while Jiutian was walking towards her while raising her katana.

"Remember this one thing. Izan is the one who will become the Absolute Ruler of this world." Jiutian spoke coldly as she slashed her sword from Tashigi's right eye towards her left leg.

Blood gushed out from Tashigi's large wound as she was flown away by the impact, crashing into a few marines.

The marines weren't doing any better as Nojiko was keeping them in bay as she kept hitting their legs with her pole which made them fall to the ground without being able to stand up.

Sweat was running down from Nojiko's face as she was focused on every detail the marines were making. Nojiko ensured the safety of Izan being able to freely fight his battle without disturbed by anyone.

After Tashigi was blown towards the marines, Jiutian ran to help Nojiko. Slowly but surely, more marines fell with either their legs broken, or their bodies cut. Some unlucky ones lost their limbs and died because of the blood loss.

Tashigi, the marines and even Smoker were having a very low morale during this battle against the Heavenly Pirates.

The standstill of Smoker and Izan was coming to an end as Smoker couldn't let his subordinates get slaughtered. Smoke was filling the whole area and Smoker tried to find a time to escape Izan and attack Jiutian and Nojiko.

"That's a marine for you, isn't it?" Izan's mocking voice sounded out as he appeared in front of Smoker while swiping with his scythe. "Don't try and ambush them while we're fighting, alright?" Izan let out a snicker as he gazed at the blood gushing out of Smoker's wound on his chest.

"Smoker, let me tell you something…" Izan started walking slowly towards Smoker which was in a defensive position with his jitte. "The fiasco of a group you're calling the marine and the world government is just rubbish. I will tell you this ahead of time, all of these will be ruined in time…" A grin appeared on Izan's face as he lifted his scythe before sending it down towards Smoker with all his force.

"Guh!" The impact alone made Smoker cough up blood as he was sent flying towards his subordinates on the ground. Hatred could be seen on Smoker's face before he passed out.

"Time to return." Izan said casually before strolling towards the shore where his ship was docked.

Jiutian and Nojiko turned towards Izan and followed behind him. Nojiko let out a smile as their plan had been completed.

"Seems like they will have to focus on you now." Jiutian said in a low voice which only Nojiko and Izan could hear.

Excitement could be seen on Nojiko's weary face. "I agree. Now with Izan leading his 'Pirate' crew against the 'Justice', which will make them put their forces against us." Nojiko might have been surprised by what Izan and Jiutian wanted to archive from this at the beginning, but it also made her expectant of the future.

Izan nodded slowly. "We will get our fame in time with this stunt of ours. This will be our first step to conquer the seas." Izan said seriously before sighing. "Still, stronger enemies will appear swiftly after this. May it be other pirates and the marines. And, if the world government sees us as a threat, they would also try to eliminate us."

"Hehehe…" Jiutian laughed in a very low voice. "I say, let them come. We knew from the beginning that this will become a bumpy path. And, enemies appearing in front of us is one of our least problems."

Nojiko shrugged when she heard Jiutian say that. "You are right on that. I decided to follow Izan no matter what, becoming scared because of a couple enemies isn't what my resolve would let me." Nojiko sent a glance towards Izan's back as she spoke.

Nojiko knew that what she felt wasn't love, yet. She could feel her soul being attracted to him in every sense. Nojiko felt like that she belonged to Izan, and with every day they were together, her sensation of belonging was becoming stronger.

Izan turned towards Jiutian and Nojiko before letting out a beautiful smile. "I'm really happy to have both of you with me." After speaking those words, Izan stared at the two before turning around towards the shore.

Unbeknownst of Izan, both Jiutian and Nojiko felt their hearts beat faster when they saw Izan's handsome face with his devilish smile.
