Conqueror of All 23 Blackbeard

It was only on their fourth day that Jiutian told them that they would be docking on Jaya the next day.

After they had eaten, they all went towards one of the inner rooms of the ship. Inside of that room, were lots of different things.

On one side, there was a bookshelf with thick books in it. And there was a soft looking sofa near the it. Robin went towards the bookshelf and picked up a book before she sat down on the sofa and she opened the book.

Nojiko also walked towards the bookshelf and picked up a book, as she had found it to be very peaceful in reading books. Nojiko sat on the opposite side of Robin, and Nojiko turned her gaze towards the book she picked. It was a novel about a hero saving a princess. Nojiko sent a short glance towards Izan before a smile appeared on her face.

Jiutian went towards a chair on the other side of the room. It was a white marble chair which was near a black table. She sat quietly on the chair and closed her eyes as she was resting peacefully.

Izan walked towards one of the corners of the room, where a piano was placed. The piano was jet-black. Its lid was open, showing the inside, the fall board was open, and it showed the white keyboard. And, a crimson piano bench was placed near the piano.

Izan showed a small smile as he went towards the piano. Izan had no idea why or how, but he had asked Jiutian to give him a piano four days ago. And even more weirdly, Izan was able to play the piano 'decently'.

Izan released the air in his lungs as he sat on the piano bench, staring at the keyboard. Izan placed his hands on the keyboard as he slowly closed his eyes.

A cooling sensation was surrounding Izan as he slowly started to play the piano. Each key his fingers pressed, made a deep sound coming from the piano. It was slow, but Izan's fingers slowly started being faster as it hit the keys. The deep sounds of the piano slowly with rhythm started reverberating throughout the whole room.

Nojiko continued reading the book while she listened to Izan playing the piano. It made Nojiko's experience in reading the book way better, as it seemed that each of Izan's play made sense to the scenes in the book which made it more thrilling.

Robin wasn't able to continue reading as the deep sounds from Izan's piano play was way too beautiful and she couldn't help but fully focus on it. Robin started smiling unconsciously as she imagined Izan's face in her mind.

Jiutian on the other hand was rather calm, from what her expression was showing. As always, Jiutian had a soft smile on her face as she had her eyes closed. But, if Jiutian had opened her eyelids, it would be shown that her iris was bloodshot. 'For how long have I not heard this song…?' Jiutian kept reminiscing of the past as she listened carefully to the song Izan was playing on the piano.

This continued till the evening before they went to sleep.

Early next morning the Defying docked at Jaya. What the Heavenly Pirates saw, was an uncivilized city where pirates were roaming around freely.

Nojiko had a disgusted expression on her face as she shortly glanced at them. Even if Nojiko was a part of the Heavenly Pirates, she couldn't think of Izan or the crew as the likes of the morally disgraceful pirates roaming the seas.

Robin was more mature than Nojiko, she didn't show any expressions on her face. But, even so, a small frown appeared on her face.

Jiutian and Izan were both unfazed at the sight. "Let's go. Before we head towards Skypiea, there's someone I want to meet…" Izan said in a low voice as he jumped off the ship with Jiutian, Robin and Nojiko behind him.

All the pirates on the bay were watching them nervously and trembling in fear. There was almost no one in the world that didn't know the pirate flag of that crew.

"Izan. You seem to be in a solemn mood, what are you thinking about?" Nojiko clearly saw it that Izan wasn't relaxing even after arriving at the island.

"…" Izan stayed quiet as he glanced at Nojiko, Robin and Jiutian, only to find them staring back at him with a worried expression. Izan released a sigh as he spoke in a low voice. "I have a very bad feeling… Almost like I am forgetting something important…"

Jiutian furrowed her eyebrows slightly, there were not many things that Izan should be worried about, but there they were.

"Whatever it is, it shouldn't be a threat, right?" Robin smiled gently as she stared at Izan.

Izan nodded slowly as his mind slowly became tranquil. 'Yes, whatever it is, I will handle it…!' Izan managed to put his thoughts away as he stared walking towards the inner place of the island.

All the pirates turned silent and slowly walked away, as no one wished to try get themselves locked by Izan's fierce eyes.

Izan didn't care about any of those low-lives as he slowly walked further with his eyes slightly squinted. The more he walked, the worse his premonition became. Anger slowly welled up inside of Izan at the thought.

Suddenly, Izan saw that some mere pirates were standing in front of him. One was burly man with black hair and beard with a few missing teeth.

The one standing near him was a big man with a mask on his face, he had large muscles, the man smirked as he gazed upon Izan.

The second one was an incredibly pale man with a hat and a cane. The man smiled casually as he stared at Izan and his crew.

The third one was a male with a scope on his eye as he held a rifle leaning on his shoulder. He had an indifferent expression on his face, but he was vigilant as he didn't put his eyes off any members on Izan's group.

The last ones were an unhealthy man coughing while sitting on a horse, which was also sick. The two of them were glancing between each member of Izan's group, and he found it to be weird that Izan's body was in perfect health.

"Zehahahahaha!" Marshall D. Teach stared right into Izan's eyes as he laughed like a maniac. "You're Heavenly Izan, right!?" Teach was surprised at the beginning of how 'Heavenly' Izan was, even Teach had to admit that he hadn't seen anyone more handsome and beautiful as Izan. But, none of these mattered to Teach, because he had a bigger goal.

The moment Izan saw Blackbeard, he couldn't help but feel familiar with him. Izan frowned deeply as he furrowed his eyebrows. "A low life like you dare to stand in my path…!?" Izan's deep and low voice made the Blackbeard pirates tremble, they were in high alert.

The sniper, Van Augur swiftly aimed his rifle towards Izan and shot. No matter what, Van Augur had to act as he felt terrified by Izan.

A cold glint appeared in Izan's eyes as he flicked his hand a large purple scythe appeared in his hand and it deflected the bullet from Van Augur's rifle. "I will only ask once more…! Who are you low lives? And, how dare you to stand in my path!" Izan's voice grew louder as he slowly walked towards Blackbeard's group.

"Zehahaha, I am Blackbeard and I am here to collect your head!" A black shadow shrouded Blackbeard as he grinned while gazing at Izan.

"Your laughter is very annoying…" Izan narrowed his eyes as he continued walking toward Blackbeard. Izan was able to see something in the corner of his eyes, but he didn't care at all at this point.

The large man with muscles – Burgess, jumped towards Izan. Burgess laughed at the thought of capturing Izan.

But suddenly, a long katana appeared in the corner of Burgess's eyes. Jiutian slashed at Burgess as she raised her eyebrows slightly. As Burgess was sent flying with blood gushing out from the wound on his face, Jiutian glanced at Izan with a worried expression. After Jiutian put her eyes off Izan, she walked towards the paled man – Lafitte.

The moment Van Augur wanted to shoot again, several hands appeared on the rifle itself and his body which took the rifle and threw it away while holding Van Augur locked.

Nico Robin raised her eyebrows as she gazed at Van Augur with a disgusted expression. "Don't you dare to block Izan…!" She said in a cold voice as she strengthened her strength in her Devil Fruit to make him incapable of moving.

As the sickly duo, the horse and the man on top of it walked towards Blackbeard and Izan before meeting Nojiko and her golden staff.

"None of you should think about escaping with your lives today…!" Izan said in a low voice as he glanced at all the members of the Blackbeard pirates before staring at Marshall D. Teach with a cold expression.
