70 Telling the future

Jiutian vanished from her spot and appeared far away from the castle. Her expression was cold, and her eyes were squinted slightly as she gazed at the person in front of her with sharp eyes.

The person was tall, he had beige-coloured skin, slim body and lanky limbs. What was weird with that person was that he had four legs, he has a goatee and black spiky hair. This person was Vander Decken…

"Who!" Vander Decken coldly gazed at Jiutian who suddenly appeared in front of him. Even if Jiutian was a beauty, in his eyes, she wasn't as beautiful as Shirahoshi. Vander Decken grabbed an axe as he gazed at Jiutian.

Jiutian raised her hand and snapped her fingers, making an audible sound. With her one snap, the person in front of her vanished into nothingness. No blood, no body and no soul left… Jiutian didn't care about anyone than Izan and his life, but that didn't mean that she would stand it if someone dared to gaze at her with disgust and Vander Decken did so.

A smirk appeared on Jiutian's face, usually souls would rest after their bodies died, but Jiutian sent Vander Decken to somewhere where only the true horrors are. Even if Vander Decken was tortured, he wouldn't die, he would never die in that place…

Jiutian sighed before she calmed herself down, her usual calm smile appeared once again before she vanished yet again. She appeared near Robin. Jiutian gazed around and saw that they were around a table filled with food.

Around the table, Jiutian was able to see Neptune, Fukaboshi, Perona, Hancock, Nojiko and Robin. "Where is Izan?" She asked in a low voice as she slowly sat down in between of Robin and Perona.

"Gurr… Husband is getting that Princess…!" Hancock kept her voice low, yet her expression betrayed her as she was gritting her teeth together. She wanted to be the one that Izan would get. Hancock wanted to let Izan do anything and everything to and for her.

Izan was outside of a gigantic door, Izan was slightly surprised to see the door and the wall being made out of steel. But, Izan didn't care much about that, he went to the door and pushed it gently which made it open.

"Who's there…?" A timid and beautiful voice sounded out.

Izan went inside and gazed upon the room. His gaze went to the large mermaid. She has very long, flowing pink hair and her breasts are large. She also has blush marks on her cheeks, most likely because of her shyness and timidness.

"Let me introduce myself to you first." Izan gazed at the large mermaid in front of him before speaking. "I am Izan. I am known as the Captain of the Heavenly Pirates. It is a pleasure in meeting you, what is your name?" Izan wasn't stupid enough to not introducing himself first as he is the one who came to visit her and not the opposite. Even if Izan was arrogant, it isn't arrogance in being stupid.

"My name is Shirahoshi…" Shirahoshi gazed at Izan with a curious expression. She knew that her father, Neptune would know about this, therefore she wasn't shocked or afraid of Izan. But, only her shyness won over her as she started fidgeting as she kept staring at Izan.

"If I may ask, why are you inside such a room which looks like a fortress?" Even if Izan knew why, he wanted to hear it from Shirahoshi personally.

"…" Shirahoshi's eyes became watery as she was on the break of crying. "Because the mean guy – Vander Decken won't let me go… He attacks at random times, therefore I am not allowed in leaving this room…" Shirahoshi lowered her head slightly as she haven't left this room for a very very long time…

Izan wasn't surprised by hearing that as it was the most logical solution if they weren't strong enough to defeat Vander Decken. Izan sighed in his heart before he opened his lips, Izan's voice was crystal clear and enchanting. "Then, what if I said that you don't want to worry about that Vander Decken guy again? Where is the first place that you want to visit?"

Shirahoshi was slightly surprised by how enchanting and beautiful Izan's soothing voice was. She encouraged herself in raising her head, Shirahoshi tried her best in opening her lips as her trembling voice sounded out in the room. "I wish to see mother's grave…"

Even if Izan was very calculative, barely cared for anyone other than his wives, even after having his soul awakened, Izan seemed to still feel something after hearing Shirahoshi saying her wish to visit her mother's grave. Izan shook his head slightly, not even Shirahoshi was able to see it. "Let's go and visit your mother's grave then. Like I previously said, you don't have to worry about Vander Decken any longer."

Shirahoshi's cheeks turned red, she gazed intensively at Izan before she voiced her thoughts out. "Then, what if someone else tries to harm me…?"

A smile appeared on Izan's face, he raised one eyebrow as he replied to Shirahoshi. "I will speak an oath in my own name, Izan, that I will protect you whilst we are outside." Izan wasn't a person that liked to make promised or oaths, but he felt a slight attraction towards Shirahoshi. 'No…' Izan shook his head once again as he knew what was going on. 'My soul is attracted to her soul…'

Izan didn't mind this at all, he could sense the pureness of Shirahoshi, he would let things play out for now and see. Izan smiled as he went to the door and pushed it gently which made it open up. "Come, Shirahoshi, tell me the direction of the grave of your mother."

Shirahoshi's eyes were slightly teary as she hadn't been outside for many years right now. She raised her hand slowly and pointed. Shirahoshi glanced at Izan, wanting to know what he would do next.

Izan stepped near Shirahoshi, Izan's smile turned into a grin as his body slowly started flying. His eyes matched with Shirahoshi's eyes, it didn't take long before Shirahoshi started flying in the air too, as Izan.

"Is this your ability…?" Shirahoshi asked in a low voice, she couldn't help but feel amazed by knowing that she was flying right now.

"This is one of my abilities." Izan nodded as the two of them started flying towards the direction Shirahoshi pointed at earlier.

When Izan and Shirahoshi left, Neptune and Shyarly gazed at them leaving from a window.

Madam Shyarly is a large mermaid with purple nail polish, red lipstick, and blue eyes with slanted pupils that resemble shark eyes. She has short black hair that covers over the right side of her face. Shyarly was wearing a hooded purple blouse that is only buttoned in the middle, revealing her cleavage and stomach and has a belly-chain around her waist.

"So, you want me to check the future of the person who killed my brother…?" Shyarly gazed sharply at Neptune, Shyarly didn't care if the person beside her was a King or not.

"…" Neptune didn't say anything, he only sighed as he left. He knew that Shyarly would be angry as he also knew that Izan had killed Shyarly's brother – Arlong.

"Humph… I know why Arlong died, it was because of his lousy way of thinking. It was his own life, he lived it as he saw fit and he died for it." Shyarly left Neptune by himself as she went to another room where Jiutian, Hancock, Robin, Nojiko and Perona sat around a table, drinking and eating.

Shyarly had greeted them earlier, therefore she sat down without saying anything. She glanced at them before sighing, she couldn't help but want to figure out who can be such a person in being able to have these many wives. And it was weird for Shyarly because none of them cared and even had a good relationship together as his wives.

"You want me to fortune tell his future…?" Shyarly asked in the end, but she couldn't see the shocked expressions she thought she would see. The only thing Shyarly was seeing was them being nonchalant about her question.

"You can check his future if you are able to do so." Nojiko didn't care much about it. She knew from Jiutian that there would be very few limited objects and people that could see Izan's future, it was because Izan's future was only decided by himself and not fate. "Besides, it won't matter for me, nor any of us of what Izan will do in the future. Because we will always be with him."

Shyarly nodded weakly before she stared at the fortune ball in front of her.
