Defying's body vanished and appeared right in front of Izan. She gazed at him with a small smile and her indifferent facial expression. Her height reached to Izan's neck, Defying had to raise her head slightly to be able to stare into Izan's jet-black eyes.
Izan as Defying had a small smile on his face, the two of them looked very alike, beautiful, handsome and even their facial expressions of being indifferent matched.
A smirk appeared on their faces as the two suddenly opened their arms wide open and embraced each other.
"Thank you for joining me in my path…" Izan couldn't help but to feel joy as he could finally see how his trusted ship – Defying was. He wasn't shocked by the strength Defying had nor about how Defying made her body in matching his taste.
"Master, I will always follow you in your path…!" Defying responded in a calm tone as she enjoyed the touch of Izan.
It took them quite a while before Izan and Defying parted from each other, Izan gazed at his wives for a bit before he smiled. "As most of you could have guessed, it seems that Defying has made herself a body. From now on Defying will be travelling with us like this."
Robin and Nojiko didn't mind it that much, they have been onboard of Defying for a long time, a small matter like this didn't matter much to them. Having another companion wasn't something strange at all, they were at least happy that Defying had strength enough to protect herself and everyone onboard if something happened in the future.
Hancock sighed out in relief, she was quite happy that Defying was a female and not a male. She couldn't handle it if Defying was a male as she would feel sick to her stomach by it.
Perona was slightly surprised, yet there was a smile on her face which was bright as the morning sun. Perona was happy because there would be another 'sister' she could speak to who was around the same size as her beside Shirahoshi.
Shirahoshi was slightly baffled, a lot of things had happened during a small time. Before Defying arrived, Shirahoshi and her sisters had been speaking about pregnancy and about having a baby. But, when Shirahoshi wanted to manage her courage to tell Izan about it, Defying appeared out of nowhere.
Izan wasn't stupid enough to see the different gazes of everyone, Izan would rather call himself rather smart than to say that he was stupid. Every different expression meant something and Izan took it to his heart to see them all.
"Shirahoshi, what's the matter?" Izan walked towards Shirahoshi, he could see that she was hesitating. But Izan didn't know why Shirahoshi would hesitate.
When Shirahoshi finally raised her head up, she could see that Izan was right in front of her, staring at her with a smile and caring expression. "Izan…" Shirahoshi didn't know how to say that she was pregnant, a blush appeared on her face as she clenched her fists tightly. "I… I am pregnant…"
When Shirahoshi said this, everyone gazed at Izan, wanting to see his reactions. Some were nervous while others were slightly jealous, and there was a certain someone that was still very indifferent to what was happening.
Izan's facial expression didn't change at all, he simply stood there gazing at Shirahoshi like what he did. Izan's lips parted and his voice sounded out in a clear tone. "I know." That was all that Izan said, he quite enjoyed the shocked expressions of his wives, especially Jiutian, Hancock and Shirahoshi.
Izan raised one eyebrow as he glanced between the three of them. "Do you really think I can't perceive what is happening around me even while sleeping?" Izan could in fact clearly see and hear everything around himself while sleeping. The only reason he didn't wake up during when Jiutian and Hancock spoke to each other was because he wanted Shirahoshi to tell him by her own choice.
Izan didn't have a mixed feeling of having a child or not, he had many wives, it would only be a matter of time before one of them would be pregnant with his child. Even if one of his wives birthed a child in the future, it wouldn't stop him from obtaining his goal in the future. 'Nothing will stop me…!' Izan thought before he smirked.
"You…" Shirahoshi couldn't help but to feel happy that Izan didn't hate her for it, she was quite worried because all of her sisters said that they would only do it with Izan on their safe days, not wanting a child yet because their lives will be ever-changing.
"Ye..." Izan's body fell before he could finish what he was going to say. Both Defying and Jiutian managed to catch Izan's body, before anyone could react, Izan's scythe necklace started shining brightly.
Izan opened his eyes and saw nothing but darkness around himself, Izan wasn't worried at all.
"You are too weak…!" A male voice sounded out throughout the darkness, the voice was carrying a certain strength and pressure which made Izan's eyes squint slightly.
"Weak you say…!?" Izan snorted as he glanced around before he flickered his hand and his scythe appeared. "YOU DARE CALLING ME TOO WEAK!?" Izan might not have trained for every single moment since he came to this world, but Izan wouldn't say that he hasn't been doing nothing either.
"Yes, I am calling you too weak. You will die in the next war if you continue like this." The voice sounded out yet again, but this time a figure appeared in front of Izan. The figure shaped itself to a tall human, he had short black hair, green eyes and he was wearing a black robe which showed off his body shape filled with muscles.
"You don't even have the right to know my name. I can already tell you that your opponents during the next war will kill you before you would be able to respond to their basic attacks." The man's wish wasn't to humiliate Izan, but he wouldn't tell it in a softer way, he might be harsh, but that was what he wanted to do.
Izan stayed silent for a moment, he did not want to have a battle of words, because he knew that the man in front of him wouldn't listen to himself and Izan knew that he would never listen to the man in front of him.
The scythe Izan was holding has been with him for a very long time, he started flickering his fingers which made the scythe started spinning around and around. While doing so Izan did also start spinning his body while moving forward towards the man in black robe.
This was one of Izan's newest methods, having a very fast and ever-changing feet movements while killing his enemies. Izan rotated his scythe around his body and slammed it towards the man in the black robe.
Yet when Izan's scythe neared him, the man raised his hand and stopped the scythe without making an effort. It was at this time that Izan could clearly see the man in front of him, he was around thirty years old and he had no wrinkles or no sign of ageing.
"Who are you…?" Izan asked in a deep voice as he retreated a couple of steps backwards, he wouldn't have thought that there would be a person that could take almost his full strength this easily.
"*********, that is my name, the name you gave me a long time ago." The man replied, but when he came to this point, the man sighed and continued. "Yet here we are, you are too weak to even match my strength and you want to face the one who wants to destroy this world with your puny strength? It seems like I must train you really good before you are allowed to leave here…!" The man told Izan with a smile, he wasn't worried, because he knew by the time Izan left this place, he would be stronger than before.
