Conqueror of All 76 Wedding

Izan didn't mind all the visitors, he wasn't shy from the gazes he got. On the other hand, Izan loved to be in the limelight of everyone's gaze. As Izan continued walking forward, he sensed that Jiutian, Nojiko, Robin, Hancock and Perona sat on the chairs at the back row. Each one of them were wearing a long dress.

Jiutian's dress was simple and white, Nojiko's dress was black and had delicate white carvings on it. Robin was wearing a purple dress with red stripes, Perona was wearing a gothic dress which had black and red colours with white frills. Hancock was wearing a pink dress which showed her stunning form.

It didn't take long before Izan went on to the stage, he glanced at Neptune before he gazed at the guests. "I welcome all of you, as most of you should know, today is the wedding of mine and Princess Shirahoshi. Shirahoshi is going to be my sixth wife and she will in the future, be roaming the world with my family…" Izan didn't want anyone to misunderstand what he wanted to do, therefore Izan spoke truthfully of his plans for what Shirahoshi would do in the future. He didn't want any bastard coming for Shirahoshi or something, but even if they did, their end would be the same, death…

"Well for now, this wedding has to start." Izan glanced at the door where he and his wives came in earlier. At the entrance of the door, a young girl in a white dress stood there with a blush on her face.

Shirahoshi stared at Izan as she lowered her head slightly, she didn't put anyone else in the room in her eyes, as only Izan existed in her vision for now. She couldn't help but to fidget her body as she saw how stunning Izan was, Shirahoshi managed in getting some courage from who knows where and begun walking towards Izan.

As Shirahoshi thought Izan was stunning, no one in the room had other thoughts as they saw Shirahoshi. She was a young beautiful girl with an expression that any man would want to protect. Yet all of them knew that this timid girl wouldn't be their to protect, sighs sounded out in the room as they knew that Shirahoshi was very far from their reach.

Izan's smile turned brighter as he gazed at Shirahoshi. He could sense that Shirahoshi has grown more brave over the past week, yet her timidness and shyness was still apparent. Izan didn't want to alter her personality too much, but he knew that some things had to change. But, Izan wouldn't rush things too fast, as he knew that Shirahoshi was young and they would still have time before things were about to go chaotic.

Shirahoshi didn't know how, but she finally stood in front of Izan, the two of them were staring at each other without blinking. The more Shirahoshi stared at Izan, the redder her blush became, yet she wouldn't put her eyes off him. Izan wasn't much different, he was slightly stunned over her 'innocent' beauty.

Izan raised his hand and stroked her cheek before whispering "You are rather beautiful…" Izan teased her in a low voice, not wanting anyone else to hear him.

Shirahoshi didn't know what to do, she lowered her head even deeper. This time, a mosquito-like voice sounded out from her mouth. "You are very handsome…" Shirahoshi didn't know what to do in a wedding, the least she could do was to compliment Izan in return.

Neptune coughed in a low voice before he began speaking. "Today, we are gathering for the wedding between Izan and Shirahoshi. Are there anyone who is against this?" Neptune acted as the priest, but he personally knew very little of what to say.

No one bothered or dared to speak, speaking at this moment would mean that they would make an enemy out of Heavenly Emperor Izan. All in all, the underlings of the Emperors didn't fear Izan too much, but they weren't stupid in acting while they had no backup in any sort while Izan had all of his crew here in this room.

Only one person had a glint in his eyes, he was eying everyone in the room as he silently wrote down in a notebook. He wanted to laugh, but he held it in as he knew he would be discovered and known of his presence.

Yet what the person didn't know was that Jiutian in the back row raise one eyebrow. But, Jiutian didn't place it in her mind much as she could sense how weak that person is. Jiutian made herself note the person's figure and clothing, what Jiutian did learn throughout her time spent with Izan in One Piece world was to always pay attention to smallest things and connect them to a larger picture.

If Jiutian was alone, she would never care of these small things. That was because Jiutian did also have a certain amount of arrogance and high standing, if she didn't see any threat, she wouldn't care one bit of it… Yet in these weeks she had stayed with Izan, she was slowly changing too, from her shell of arrogance, to a person who was standing at the same place with her loved one, walking forward towards all the threats the world could lash out.

"As there are no one who spoke out, the marriage between Izan and Shirahoshi will continue." Neptune continued with a loud voice. He was indeed happy that no one dared to speak against the fame Izan had.

Neptune finally put his eyes on Izan, he cleared his throat before he spoke in a serious tone while his eyes were sharp. "Do you Izan, take Shirahoshi as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I, Izan, take you, Shirahoshi, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." Izan spoke in a clear voice which echoed throughout the whole room.

Shirahoshi who heard Izan's oath couldn't help but tremble, she felt a warm sensation throughout her entire body, yet all she could do was to whimper in a low voice as she continuously nodded while staring into Izan's eyes.

Izan returned Shirahoshi's stare, but he smiled softly. This was his first wedding, but a wedding didn't mean much to Izan. Yet he was able to see how happy and joyful Shirahoshi was. He couldn't help but to peek a very short glance to the back row, only to see the expectant gazes of his wives. Izan's smile didn't vanish, it became even wider as he thought silently 'They are already my wives, but I will one day stand in front of them as I tell them my oath to them. They have given me a lot of their own lives, the least I can do is to make them happy…'

Neptune was slightly surprised by Izan's oath, yet he was very happy of knowing that Izan did take this wedding seriously. Neptune changed his gaze from Izan to Shirahoshi. "Do you Shirahoshi, take Izan to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Tears slowly started emerging from Shirahoshi's eyes as he nodded before a beautiful voice sounded out from her mouth. "I do, I will from this day on, be Izan's lawfully wedded wife. I will stay by his side in the best of times, and the worst of times…"
