At the docks of Alabasta
There were two navy warships docked, everyone had very low morale. The cause of that was they weren't able to find any signs of the 'Heavenly Pirates' anywhere.
In one of the inner rooms of a warship. Smoker had been smoking several cigars since he returned, he had a gloomy expression on his face as smoke stared filling up the entire room.
After a while, Smoker picked up his Den-Den-Mushi. A deep and low voice escaped Smoker's mouth. "I have something important to report, give me the Fleet Admiral – Sengoku.
"Is this Captain Smoker…?" After a moment of silence, a powerful voice sounded out from the Den-Den-Mushi.
"Yes, I have to report about the incident of Alabasta Kingdom." Smoker stopped for a moment before continuing. "Crocodile, one of the Royal Seven Warriors of the Sea was killed."
"… By whom?" Sengoku was rather disturbed by the fact that someone 'strong' was paving his way this strongly at the beginning of the Grand Line.
"Heavenly Izan." Smoker said in a low voice as he couldn't help but feel fear welling up inside of him.
"…" Sengoku didn't know what to say. They gave Izan a high bounty in order to scare him, but it seemed that the opposite happened. "Tell me what happened, everything in specific details."
Taking the que, Smoker started describing everything from the rebellion, the entrance of the Heavenly Pirates and what happened in the city centre.
"Heh. He's actually threatening us and the World Government." Sengoku sighed as he shook his head. Sengoku wasn't afraid of pirates, but it would still be very bothersome in dealing with some certain people. At least someone who had strength, powerful weapon and unknown powers.
"Fleet Admiral. I don't think Heavenly Izan is bluffing." Smoker hesitated to speak, but he knew that it was important for him to say so.
"Haha, don't worry about that." Sengoku laughed for a moment before he said in a serious tone. "Because he isn't bluffing at all. All his actions till now, shows us that he will deal with us sooner or later if he gets the chance."
"Smoker, I want you to continue keep track of them. We will deal with him if we have a chance. For now, we must prepare…" After Sengoku said that, the Den-Den-Mushi made a 'purupuropuru' sound and Smoker sighed as he laid the Den-Den-Mushi down on the table.
"Heavenly Izan…" Smoker whispered as he continued smoking.
On the ship – Defying
The Heavenly Pirates had already set sail the moment they stepped foot on their ship. Izan told Jiutian about an island called Jaya as their next destination.
Because now that Nico Robin was with them, Izan wouldn't shy away from the troublesome 'god' in the sky. If Robin wished to join Izan, then he would do his best to fulfil her wish in finding about the real history.
While Izan was happily speaking with Nojiko, Robin was just waking up in another room.
Robin opened her eyes, wondering why she was alive for a brief moment before she remembered Izan rescuing her. What Robin saw, was a roof over her head and the smooth movements the ship made as it sailed on the sea.
"He saved me…" Robin at that time wished to die as she had lost her motivation. The motivation Robin had was crushed by spending two decades in finding nothing.
The first thing robin thought of, was Izan. Even if Robin had been focusing on Poneglyphs since she was little, she was still a woman and seeing such a handsome man did make her heart beat slightly faster.
Robin shook her head before being confused again as she glanced at her chest. "Wasn't I wounded by Crocodile?" Even if Izan had the crew's doctor to heal her, it should have taken many days for it to recover.
But, Robin couldn't see any wounds, scars or anything. This left Robin confused and intrigued about how Izan was able to heal her to this degree.
"I need to stay calm." Robin spoke to herself in a low voice, but Robin didn't notice that she had a small smile on her face. Deep inside, Robin was very happy about someone caring for her.
Around the dinner table
Izan, Jiutian and Nojiko were all sitting on their own chairs. As much as Izan didn't like to have specific things for a crew member, he couldn't help but be in awe at the chairs as they presented who sat on it.
On the table in front of them were several plates filled with meat, bowls filled salad and bread with cups near them.
"My mouth keeps watering whenever I see the sight of food in front of me." Izan gulped in a low sound as he kept staring towards the plate filled with meat.
Nojiko couldn't help but laugh at Izan. At one moment, Izan would act highly like an emperor, and the next second, Izan could act like a child. It made Nojiko very happy that Izan was someone she could at least speak with casually.
Jiutian stayed silent for a while as she turned her head towards one of the doors leading to the bedrooms. Jiutian only did so only to 'show' Izan and Nojiko before she returned her gaze towards Izan with a soft smile on her face.
Izan and Nojiko took Jiutian's hint rather easily, the two of them turned their heads towards the same door Jiutian gazed upon earlier.
Not moments later, the door opened, and Nico Robin came inside the dining room as she had heard Nojiko's laughter in the hall earlier. The moment Robin came in, she saw that 'Heavenly' Izan and 'Golden Pole' Nojiko were staring at her while the 'Silent Sword' Jiutian kept her eyes locked on Izan.
Robin was shocked for a moment before she released a smile. "Hello."
Izan nodded in return before turning towards Jiutian. "We need an extra chair."
Jiutian waved her hand as a purple chair appeared near Izan's blood-red chair.
With that, Izan gestured the shocked Robin to sit on the chair. "I can guess that you have many questions and want a few answers as well." Izan said in a clear voice. "You should at least be hungry, we are at least. We can speak about what will happen after this." After Izan finished speaking, he used his fork and knife to grab a piece of meat.
It took Robin a good few seconds before she responded by walking towards the purple chair. The purple chair seemed the give off a light and it had beautiful markings all over it. Robin was very clever, she knew that Izan would answer her questions in time, therefore Robin wouldn't rush it.
The four of them started eating their fills before only empty platters were stacked up in the middle of the table.
"Now, Nico Robin, what questions do you have for me?" Izan's expression turned solemn as he turned his head towards Robin.
"… Why did you save me?" Robin wasn't able to respond properly by Izan's change, but she asked the first and most important question.
A long sigh escaped from Izan as he slowly shook his head. "I might be very rude now…" Izan closed his eyes as he said. "If you died, it would have been for nothing." Before Robin could retort, Izan continued. "Your wish was to find about the 'real history', right? In my eyes, it is meaningless for you to be wishing to die after failing one time while there is a whole world out there waiting for you."
Robin stayed quiet for a long time after she heard Izan say that. Robin didn't know what to say or do.
"Saving you was only my selfish reason." After having said that, Izan opened his eyes. His eyes were heavy as a bitter smile appeared on his face. "I will be going to my room." Izan said slowly as he stood up from his chair. "Jiutian, answer her questions if she has any…"
Robin's gaze was locked on Izan as she had seen Izan's eyes, it was something she hadn't seen before. It wasn't sadness, grief or anything like that, but just seeing it did make Robin's heart heavy by the enormous pressure.
"Could you tell me… About Izan?" Robin's gaze turned towards Jiutian and Nojiko. Robin had felt that Izan was way more different than everyone she had met. Obtaining a kingdom, ancient weapon or finding about the real history was a dream many had wished for. But, Izan didn't care about any of that, which made Robin very surprised of why that was so.
As Izan had told Jiutian earlier, Jiutian didn't hesitate to answer Robin. "Before I can tell you about Izan, you have to know something. Izan nor am I from this world…"
Jiutian's words shocked Robin as she trembled slightly.
"You can see me as Izan's guardian, guide, bodyguard or what you think is best." Jiutian said with a smile on her face. "Izan on the other..." Jiutian explained carefully of who Izan was to Robin.
It took Jiutian ten whole minutes before she finished explaining. Robin didn't know what to say, she did believe Jiutian that they were not from this world. But, now that Robin had heard Jiutian say it, what would happen to her now?
"Don't worry, if you so wish, you can leave on the next island." Jiutian saw through Robin easily.
Robin raised her eyebrows slightly, she thought of Izan's actions since Loguetown and in Alabasta Kingdom. The more Robin thought of Izan, the more she felt something strange.
A smile appeared on Robin's face as she gazed at both Jiutian and Nojiko. "I will not leave. Izan must take responsibility of me from now on." Robin's smile turned gentle at the thought of Izan protecting and guarding her.
