Conqueror of All 89 The Admiral of the Marines

Jiutian was holding Izan's body as she gazed around, she sighed when she could see their worried gazes.

"Izan is fine, there is no need to worry about him." Jiutian tried to reassure them, but she shook her head slightly when seeing that they hadn't changed their expressions at all.

Robin went forward towards Jiutian and Izan, her eyes were fixated on Izan's face, she couldn't help but to ask while being in a daze. "Jiutian, can you explain in detail what is happening to Izan right now?"

At Robin's question, Nojiko, Hancock, Perona and Shirahoshi turned their gaze towards Jiutian. The only one that was calm during this was Defying, she had a certain hint of uncaring of the situation. But, that was only true because she was able to 'see' more than most. Defying could use her eyes to see through anything, she had seen Izan being dragged into his scythe 'amulet' where he and a mysterious person fought against each other.

The only reason Defying has kept her mouth closed was because she didn't see any need to tell anyone about this. The only one she cared for was Izan and only him alone. In Defying's mind, it was already nice of her to allow the others to stay on board of her while they were travelling with Izan.

Jiutian raised her left hand and pointed towards Izan's amulet. "Izan is meeting his scythe, or per se the human figure of his scythe. It seems like his scythe wants to meet Izan and will be keeping him inside of there until Izan is strong enough."

"You said that Izan is meeting the persona of his scythe, what for? Isn't Izan already strong enough to face the strongest people of this world?" Hancock asked while raising her eyebrows, if anyone else said that they were one of the strongest of the world, then Hancock would scoff at that person and show disdain towards that person. But when Izan told them that his strength would be nearing the top of this world, at that time and even right now Hancock would see it fitting, because in her mind no one else than Izan is allowed to reach that high of a stage.

Perona nodded as she agreed with Hancock, even if Izan wasn't the strongest as of now, she didn't think that anyone else in this world or any world would be able to hold a candle against Izan.

Jiutian shook and nodded before explaining. "If what you are mentioning are the Emperors, then Izan's strength would be nearing them in the next month if he didn't do anything. But, there exist stronger people than them, and Izan's enemies aren't only the Emperors, there should be a much stronger person than them, one that can defeat the previous Pirate King Gol D. Roger and the mysterious person Joy Boy."

Nojiko lowered her head slightly when hearing this, she had heard of the mysterious person that was ruling the World Government was strong, but she didn't put him or her in her eyes till now. Nojiko clenched her fists slightly as she raised her head and gazed at Jiutian. "Jiutian, I want to become stronger before the war. I want to be strong enough to lessen Izan's burden and enemies…!"

Robin closed her eyes as she sighed too, she knew that her thoughts had been to shallow till now. "I agree with Nojiko…" She wanted to become strong enough to face the Admirals and defeat them, because if she was able to do so, then Izan would be able to face the strongest persons by himself.

Jiutian gazed at Nojiko, Robin, Perona and Hancock in turn, she knew that they had decided to train till their limits until the war. Jiutian flickered her hand slightly which made Izan's body vanish, she didn't care for the gazes she was seeing as she flickered her hand once again, this time everyone appeared in the training room.

"There is one month left until the Throne War begins, till that time I will make sure that all of you are strong enough." Jiutian spoke in a calm tone as she had a smile on her face. It didn't take long before Jiutian gaze turned towards Defying, Jiutian knew that Defying was already very strong and didn't need to join them. "Defying, I will not order you around, therefore you can do anything you want to do."

At this Defying scoffed before she vanished, Defying appeared in Izan's bedroom where he was laying on his bed. Defying stared at Izan before she went to the bed and rested her head on Izan's chest. Defying closed her eyes as she enjoyed this feeling, a rare smile appeared on her face as she continued laying there with Izan.

New Marineford – Navy Headquarters.

The new Navy Headquarters is significantly larger than the one in Marineford, there were Marine Warships that looked like dwarfs in comparison to the new Headquarters.

In one of the inner rooms of the Headquarters, Akainu sat on a large chair while gazing outside the window. Behind him sat Aokiji and Kizaru, Aokiji was slightly surprised by how large the headquarter was while Kizaru didn't feel anything as he was one of the few that had made the blueprint of the whole building.

"Is everyone prepared?" Akainu asked in a deep voice without glancing back. He was deeply focused on his thoughts of the upcoming war that would include the strongest of the world, the Emperors of the Seas.

"Yes, Ryokugyu, Fujitora, Zephyr, Smoker, Joynus, Lockyad and she had prepared themselves for the war. They will be leading their own teams of elites." Aokiji answered Akainu shortly, the upcoming Throne War was something they couldn't do alone, therefore they would need all the support they could get.

Akainu nodded before he turned towards Kizaru. "Kizaru, if you have any experiments that you need to do, make sure to complete them before the war, your strength is needed."

"Yes, I wi-ll of cou-rse fin-ish every-thing, awake-ning our De-vil Fru-its wi-ll be the fi-rst st-ep…" Kizaru nodded in return, his current experiments were on how to awaken Devil Fruits without any side effects.

Akainu closed his eyes before he sighed. "You two can go and do your own things, and can you notify 'her' to come and meet me now?" He opened his eyes and gazed shortly at Aokiji before he turned his chair around facing the window again.

Aokiji and Kizaru nodded and left without making a noise, the three of them were students of the same master, they had known each other for many decades, over the passage of the years they have got to know each other very well. This was one of the reasons that Kizaru and Aokiji let Akainu become the Fleet Admiral, because all three of them had different strengths, and Akainu could be in the front of the Navy while Kizaru does his research and Aokiji roams around to face the threats around the world.

It didn't take long before the doors opened once again and this time a woman in her late twenties arrived. She was tall, lean, had dark pupils and long black hair, she was wearing a white dress with a cape on her back which had engravings on it which meant 'Admiral'. She had a sharp gaze while looking at Akainu, her eyes narrowed slightly before she opened her lips. "I have arrived, what do you need of me, Father…"
