Conqueror of All 56 Invitation

"Gurarararara, it seems like it will be the end soon. Hey, you brat over there!" Whitebeard stared at Izan as his voice was becoming hoarser by each word spoken.

Izan glanced at Whitebeard as he had sensed his stare. "What's up, oldy?" Izan didn't mind Whitebeard calling him a brat as he could clearly see that Whitebeard as a person that deeply cared for his crew and Izan did also like the arrogance Whitebeard had.

"Gurarara, I believe that the red-haired Shanks was mistaken. Even if I wished for Ace to get it, I do believe that you will win the right to sit on the Throne." Whitebeard did have seen both Luffy and he personally knows Ace. But neither one of them are like Izan. In Whitebeard's eyes, Izan had the strength, crew, charisma, arrogance and the pride to rule, conquer and lead the world. "Win the Throne, find the One Piece and free the World from its suppressors!"

After Whitebeard said that, his eyes turned hazy and his breathing stopped. Whitebeard, the strongest man alive, one of the Emperors of the Seas, died…

Izan had to take a moment to completely take in what Whitebeard had told him.

Akainu turned towards Izan and punched magma towards him. Akainu was tired, but he didn't want to lose such an opportunity of being able to defeat a pirate with greater potential than Whitebeard and Gol D. Roger.

Izan was hit by the frontal attack of the magma punch. Izan's body fell from the air and heavily hit the ground.

It didn't take long before ice, light and magma attacks hit Izan once again. A mist was created because of the ice and the magma. No one could see through the mist and no one knew what happened to Izan. Akainu had a smirk on his face, Kizaru sighed in relief and Aokiji narrowed his eyes as he wanted to personally see Izan's corpse.

Jiutian stared towards Izan, but she could clearly sense that Izan was far from dead, therefore she didn't worry at all. Jiutian knew that even if Izan got caught off-guard, he would at most be injured.

The mist slowly vanished and only a figure was left standing. Izan's body was there, his clothes were ripped, blood was gushing from several injuries on his body. His left hand had become frozen, his chest and right arm had been pierced by light attacks and both his legs had been burned by the magma.

"Is that all?" Izan's voice sounded out throughout the whole area. His voice was clear and cold, he didn't blame anyone than himself for being careless while fighting. But, Izan was now angry at the ones that harmed him. He wanted to kill Akainu with his bare hands.

But before Izan did anything else, his eyes closed and his breathing calmed itself down. Izan started sleeping in the battlefield. His body couldn't handle anything more than this.

"Kill him!" Akainu roared in a deep voice as he rushed towards Izan. Aokiji and Izan followed right behind Akainu. Neither one of them wanted Izan alive.

A sudden pressure stopped everyone in moving forward. Even the Admirals almost knelt as they couldn't even more a muscle or breathe.

"Move and you die!" An unknown voice sounded out. No one was able to clearly hear whose voice it belonged to. The pressure weakened slightly.

"I will be taking Izan now." Jiutian spoke in a calm voice. She didn't want anyone to guess that she was the strong person. She rushed towards Izan and picked up his body to her embrace.

None of the Admirals could move their bodies as the pressure held them restrained as Jiutian walked unrestrained towards Defying.

"Wh-at!?" Kizaru's voice was filled with shock as he saw something shocking.

Hundred meters away, Sengoku's body was on the ground, not moving. Kizau tried to look around even with the pressure holding him down. Yet he couldn't find the one responsible for killing Sengoku. Kizaru thought that there was someone hidden that is helping the Heavenly Pirates in the dark.

As Jiutian vanished, the pressure disappeared too. Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru checked their surrounding for the killer of Sengoku.

"The war is over… We can talk about this after we have settled down the marines and the Navy Headquarters." Aokiji said in a hoarse voice. He was beyond tired and he couldn't last much longer.

Akainu snorted, but he didn't deny what Aokiji said. "Medic, treat those that still alive!" Akainu turned towards Kizaru and Aokiji. "We have much to speak about, Kizaru, I hope that you can stay at Marineford with us for the next few days." Akainu had a mutual understanding with Kizaru.

Kizaru nodded without thinking much of it. He could understand that this was a defeat. The didn't execute Ace, Sengoku died and the Navy Hero, Garp had betrayed them.

The only win the Navy got was the death of Whitebeard and Blackbeard. Blackbeard had been playing the Navy, it would only mean that he had higher goals. That was why Blackbeard's death was a good thing for them.

On the Defying.

Jiutian jumped on the deck with Izan in her arms. She glanced at the ship near them which had a Revolutionary flag waving.

Luffy and Sabo stood on the deck of their ship and stared at Jiutian and Izan in her arms.

"Silent Sword Jiutian, I am a pirate which is in an alliance with the Revolutionary Army, I and my father would like to invite the Heavenly Pirates to the Headquarters. My father, Dragon wishes to speak with your captain." Luffy asked Jiutian as he knew that Jiutian was the next-in-command of the Heavenly Pirates.

Jiutian glanced at the ones on the Revolutionary with an eyebrow raised. "I accept ion behalf of Izan." Jiutian's voice wasn't warm nor cold. That was because she had seen Nami on their ship. Jiutian disliked Nami as it was she that had broken Izan's trust.

Even Nojiko had a similar reaction as she felt that her sister, Nami had broken the trust of Izan, who gave them when they first met. Nojiko had never once thought that she regretted her choice of following Izan.

"Great, follow our ship, it will take two days till we arrive." Luffy replied happily as he turned towards Nami and Koala. "Nami, direct our ship to the base, Koala, can you take the helm?"

"Thank you for allowing us to leave during the war, miss Jiutian." Sabo bowed slightly towards Jiutian. He knew that it was because of Izan and his crew that allowed them to escape without much trouble.

"…" Jiutian didn't bother speaking with Sabo, she glanced towards Nami before turning towards the door. "Just don't speak or bother us, none of you are allowed to step foot on Defying."

Perona, Nojiko, Robin and Hancock followed right behind Jiutian. None of them asked why Jiutian acted like this. All of them knew that Nami was Nojiko's sister and that she tried to use Izan for her own benefit and leave afterwards.

Hancock's fingers were twitching, and her facial expression was cracking up. She felt saddened for Izan and she felt anger towards Nami. Hancock wished to yell and scream at Nami, but she tried her best in holding back for now.
