Conqueror of All 68 Joy Boy

"That's great." Izan smiled in return as he nodded gently at Fukaboshi. In Izan's mind, Fukaboshi was someone that would show respect to others and Izan would return the favour somehow. "Robin, what do you think of this, a Poneglyph ten thousand meters below the ground."

Robin was walking at Izan's left side, she was thinking for a moment before she shook her head slightly. "We have already seen a Poneglyph ten thousand meters above the ground and now ten thousand below the ground. I would like it to describe the Void Century, but from what we have gathered so far, I don't think it will be so. Perhaps it will tell a story about someone, or about an Ancient Weapon." Robin did want to find about the Void Century as it was the goal she had set. But, Robin was also realistic and could understand what the Poneglyph might tell from their placements.

They followed Fukaboshi, Izan and his wives were speaking about trivial things as they were walking to the Poneglyph. It took them well over half an hour before they reached a large blue stone with engravings on it.

Robin's smile widened slightly as she walked towards the Poneglyph and read it carefully. From time to time, Robin would frown and her eyebrows would furrow slightly.

No one spoke to disturb Robin as she carefully read through the whole Poneglyph. "Robin, what was written on the Poneglyph?" Nojiko asked as she gazed upon the Poneglyph with some interest.

Robin turned towards Nojiko and sighed. "It didn't describe the Void Century nor the Ancient Weapons, it was a letter…" Robin was also very confused over that part, but she gazed at everyone before she explained. "It was a letter from a person called Joy Boy, he was apologising to the people of Fishman Island for not being able to uphold his promise. Something involving about carrying out Noah's purpose…" When Robin finished explaining, she gazed at Jiutian and asked a question. "Jiutian, would you be able to sense something large enough to hold all the inhabitants of Fishman Island?"

Jiutian didn't respond, she silently closed her eyes for a few seconds before she opened them and nodded. "There is a very large ship which should be able to hold all the inhabitants of Fishman Island." Jiutian was slightly surprised that there existed something so large and it should have been created a long time ago.

Robin turned her gaze towards Izan before speaking. "Izan, I think this Joy Boy is from the Void Century and he had promised the inhabitants of Fishman Island to take them up from here with the large ship – Noah…" Robin didn't know what to think, she couldn't help but to think that the inhabitants of Fishman Island had to stay this deep under water without being able to leave unless they risked their lives as the Humans were catching them as slaves…

Izan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, yet there was a smirk on his face. "Joy Boy… Rather interesting indeed…" Izan's mind was already thinking of the possibilities that could have happened during the Void Century, but it all ended with him thinking of one ending – the World Government won…

Izan turned towards Fukaboshi, Izan had a large smile on his face as he spoke. "I want to visit your father – the King right now."

Fukaboshi was rather surprised by how Izan reacted, but he couldn't help but to think that there might exist a certain person that was indeed worthy of them following. 'Just maybe this human is trustworthy…' Fukaboshi was thinking deeply about it as he smiled and replied Izan with a joyful tone. "Of course, we will host a feast for you and your crew tonight!"

Fukaboshi and the guards escorted Izan and his wives swiftly to the castle. No one dared to hinder them, Izan had an aura which made people not wanting to offend him, it was like there was a scythe resting on their necks, one misstep and the scythe would reap their lives.

Izan himself didn't know it, neither did his wives as they hadn't felt Izan's aura before. Izan's aura was a mixture of his own and from the scythe, it has been developing since the war.

It took them twenty minutes before they arrived at the castle, the guards let them in as they saw Fukaboshi leading some humans in. It took the guards a moment before they recognized Izan, which made cold sweat appear on their bodies.

It was hard for a normal royal guard to handle strong pirates, and the ones that arrived, Izan, Jiutian, Nojiko, Hancock, Perona and Robin were far from ordinary pirates. They had the strength of strong pirates in the New World, the Commanders of the Emperor's would be able to deal with the females while only the Emperor themselves would be able to handle Izan. And this level of strength was far from what the Fishmen could handle…

"Izan, it seems like the Navy must have written something about you, or else I can't see the reason why these guards are trembling in fear when they recognize you, haha." Robin laughed silently as she could see the gazes of panic on the fishmen' faces.

"We don't need to care about the Navy or the World Government right now. Our goal is the New World, the Emperors and finally the person ruling the World Government, the rest are weaklings." Izan muttered as he walked behind Fukaboshi.

"Husband is right, we shouldn't care much of what weaklings say. Even the Admirals will tremble when they meet us the next time!" Hancock snorted as she felt disdain for the Navy. The Navy might have imbued some fear into Hancock before, but now when she was getting stronger, she didn't even place them in her eyes any longer.

"We are here, my Father, King Neptune is behind this door." Fukaboshi tried to stay quiet until they arrived near the Throneroom. He was shocked by hearing what Izan and his crew was talking about, but it made him feel more secure of his thoughts to ask for the Heavenly Pirate's protection, rather than Big Mom's…

Izan's thoughts were interrupted as the large doors in front of him were opened by four guards. As the doors opened up, Izan saw a huge merman sitting on a throne, he had curly orange hair and beard, he wasn't wearing clothes, he was holding a golden trident and wearing a golden crown.

Neptune gazed at the opened door with a curious gaze, he saw his son, Fukaboshi leading half a dozen humans. Five of them were beautiful females and the last one was a handsome male. The man had blood-red hair covering his right eye, wearing a red robe which outlined his muscles and he had a gentle smile plastered on his face.

But, this seemingly gentle smile was true horror for Neptune as he recognized the humans in front of it. The Captain of the Heavenly Pirates, Heavenly Izan and his crew…!

Neptune calmed himself down as he saw none of them were in a battle stance, nor did Neptune feel that they were here to fight. He could sense the heavy pressure Izan gave off, but Neptune somehow understood that even Izan didn't know he was giving such an aura off by his will.

"Welcome, Heavenly Pirates. What do I owe the pleasure for your visit, Heavenly Izan?" Neptune stood up from his throne as he gazed solemnly at Izan. He didn't want to conclude anything yet, therefore he was patiently waiting for their answer.

"Father, we found fishmen pirates surrounding the Heavenly Pirates. After they read the Poneglyph, they asked to meet with you." Fukaboshi went near Neptune before he whispered in a low voice. "Father, we might be able to trust them…"

King Neptune's eyes widened slightly as he stared at his son. But, Neptune was after all a king, he turned towards a guard and commanded in a deep voice. "Ask Shyarly to come here." After commanding the guard, Neptune turned towards Izan. "Let us eat something until Shyarly arrives."

Izan nodded, but his smile vanished as he turned towards somewhere else. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as his voice went deep and cold. "Neptune, who is the one that dares to attack this castle…?" Izan was able to sense someone throwing an axe towards a building.

Neptune's face darkened slightly as he sighed. "It is Vander Decken IX, he has been trying to kill my daughter, Shirahoshi, he is able to throw weapons from a distance and it will always follow Shirahoshi, which is why she must stay somewhere locked at all times…"

Izan's eyes narrowed slightly, he turned towards Jiutian, his eyebrows furrowed when he saw her nodding. "Is it her…?" Izan asked in a low voice, which Jiutian did nod again.

"Jiutian, deal with Vander Decken, I want him dead." Izan turned towards Neptune. "I want to meet with your daughter. You don't have to worry about Vander Decken and his small games any longer."

Neptune was shocked, but he grew even more shocked when he saw Jiutian vanish from her spot. Neptune could only nod weakly.
