Conqueror of All 80 Fragmented Personality

Izan held the scythe in his right hand, yet when he saw Katakuri trying to stand against himself, he couldn't help but to grin. He raised his left hand slowly and flickered it towards Katakuri.

This single movement made the entire surrounding of Katakuri heavy over two hundred times. Katakuri's face darkened, he felt fear for not being able to see what was going to happen, yet he tried to be brave and come out of this alive.

"You are indeed a strong one, at least compared to those fishmen…" Izan commented, he flickered his scythe which made it vanish and return as his necklace. "I will fight you on even terms…" Izan was angry and wanted to vent out his anger, yet he knew if he used all of his strength, not many would be his opponent.

The pressure Katakuri was feeling vanished, when he heard Izan mentioning him wanting to fight on even grounds, Katakuri couldn't help but to think that this was his chance.

Izan was wearing a red robe which outlined his muscles, his sleeves were rather loose which made it hang slightly. But, there was a smirk on Izan's face, this would be his first time fighting with his own hands, rather than relying on his scythe or his Gravity Law.

Katakuri and Izan were staring at each other, Izan held nothing whereas Katakuri was holding his spear. Both of them stood there without moving a muscle, they were standing there for a second, two seconds, three seconds, but at the fourth second, both of them disappeared.

In the middle of where they were standing, Izan and Katakuri appeared from thin air, Katakuri struck forward with his spear and Izan tightened his fist and punched forward with all of his might.

"BANG!"

A thunderous noise sounded out as Katakuri's spear and Izan's fist struck each other. The air around the two seemed to blast off everything and it seemed to even crack up.

But as fast as they went forward, both of them were pushed back several meters. Izan was staring at Katakuri with a large grin on his face, whereas Katakuri couldn't help but to feel hopeless. That was because if Izan was able to match his strength, and Katakuri knew that Izan's trademark was his enormous scythe.

"Again!" Izan spoke in a deep voice before he rushed forward towards Katakuri once again, but this time, Izan's fist was black, covered in Armament Haki.

Katakuri spun around his spear, also covering it in Armament Haki before he slashed towards Izan's incoming fist. This time when they clashed, Katakuri felt his whole being crushed because of how hard Izan struck his spear. It was so painful that Katakuri thought that he had broken all of his bones in his hand.

Katakuri's Paramecia Devil Fruit was of Stickiness, usually most attacks would be not harming him, but Izan's empowering strength made his Devil Fruit Powers powerless. Katakuri still used his Devil Fruit in healing his whole body, yet before he even finished, he saw Izan striking for another blow.

Izan wasn't stupid enough in not seeing that Katakuri wanted to heal himself with his Devil Fruit Powers. Therefore, what Izan wanted to do was to pressure Katakuri even more. He punched out towards Katakuri's jaw. But was met with Izan's fist was Katakuri's spear.

While Izan was pressuring Katakuri, Katakuri tried his best to not succumb to his injuries. Even if no injuries could be seen, his organs were in a bad mess. Katakuri wanted to already give up, yet he tried his best in not giving in to his desires. He had to stand, he had to fight, he must not fall here…!

Katakuri's thoughts were slowly wandering off to his youth when he was seemed as a monster because of his psychical appearance, or more specific, his mouth. Yet in the end, Katakuri was standing on the top most of the Big Mom crew, he was one of the strongest people alive…!

"I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TO FALL!" Katakuri roared as he for once started rushing towards Izan while pointing his spear towards Izan's heart. While Katakuri was moving forward, his entire life passed through his eyes, when he grew up, the years passed by as he trained and was fighting under his mother's pirate crew…

It was like time passed by very slowly, Katakuri was able to process his mind to an extreme, after his vision of his past ended, he could finally see what was in front of him, a handsome man with red hair who was smiling like a devil, Katakuri knew that his life would end if he continued forward. Yet after knowing this, Katakuri still decided to rush forward, he would rather die in the hands of Izan than to return to his family…

When Katakuri was nearing Izan, Izan suddenly vanished and appeared behind Katakuri. Izan's arm was bloody, yet the blood wasn't his…

Katakuri glanced down towards his chest, only to see a hole there. Katakuri wasn't even able to turn around before his body collapsed to the ground.

"An interesting man as I thought…" Izan was able to calm himself after killing Katakuri, Izan gazed at his bloodied arm and flickered it which made all the blood evaporate. After having turned around, he could see Katakuri's corpse laying there with a hole in his chest. "I will do you this one favour…" Izan raised his hand which made the soil under Katakuri's corpse rise.

Katakuri's body went deep in the ground and the soil covered the place up. Izan gave Katakuri a decent grave, this was the most he would do for someone who was his enemy.

Izan's gaze then when forward towards the thousands of corpses littered around Defying. A sigh sounded out from his mouth. "I'll tell Neptune to clean this area." Izan shook his head as his body slowly floated towards Defying. It didn't even take a minute before he landed on the deck where Jiutian was gazing right at him.

"Jiutian…" Izan sighed as he shook his head. "I know I may not be ready yet…"

Before Izan could continue speaking, Jiutian intervened him. "Yes, you aren't ready yet. As I said, you are barely strong enough to endanger a speck of dust in front of the strong ones. But, not enough with that, your soul is trying to change your personality with every turn and twist. You need to calm yourself down to finally stabilize your mind." Jiutian has seen Izan's personality keep changing from every event happening since they arrived in this world. But, the only thing Jiutian could do was to wait and see how Izan would fix it. Yet after so long, Izan's personality is still ever changing.

Izan gritted his teeth slightly before he stared into Jiutian's eyes. "I know about it very well…"

Jiutian couldn't help but to be both amazed and shocked, she did also stare into Izan's eyes, wanting to know more.

"Don't you think I have noticed it throughout every twist and turn?" Izan couldn't help but to grit his teeth and clench his fists. "I am being thrown around like I am in a rollercoaster, I am trying my best to stay on my course, yet nothing I do is able to stay for a long period of time before it slips my reach…" This was the first time Izan had said the truth which was concerning himself, he never wanted to talk about this, he only endured it by himself.

"I know very well that my mind is chaotic right now, I know my personality is ever changing, I know that I need a calm mind. Yet, no matter how much I try, it is like it will never be enough. It feels like my thoughts are split into thousands of pieces, they are all fighting for supremacy, one day one wins, the next day something else wins." Izan closed his eyes, his facial muscles relaxed slightly and his hands weren't clenched any longer.

"Jiutian, I am trying. You have shown me the path I need to follow, I am following it. Yet, there are certain things that I would have to deal by alone, something that no one can help me with. But know this Jiutian…" Towards the end, Izan opened his eyes and looked straight at Jiutian with determination. "No matter how much I am being pushed backwards or down, I will never stop resisting, I will come out victorious…!" Izan subconsciously was able to grow stronger by fighting his inner thoughts which haunted him.

Jiutian couldn't help but to tremble, not in fear, but in happiness. Jiutian might now have said anything to Izan, but she knew to some degree what Izan was having trouble with. Izan's personality was fragmented into thousand of pieces, some things will conquer others over time with different scenarios happening.

What Jiutian was hoping for was that Izan could forge the fragmentations and make his own personality which will follow him for the rest of his life…
