A week had passed by since the World Government was destroyed. All of the Celestial Dragons were apprehended and killed in public because of their involvement with the World Government.
The Navy still exists, but Akainu decided to step down from being the Fleet Admiral and left it to Akira, his daughter. Akainu was very lucky in being healed by Izan on the day, but his lost limbs didn't recover.
And because the World Government doesn't exist any longer, the Revolutionary stopped their actions and plans of unifying the world. Dragon, Luffy, Ace and Sabo were all mourning over the death of Garp as he had bravely fought against Im's clones.
The Navy under Akira moved around the New World to kill the rest of the pirates that had harmed civilians. They managed to complete their tasks rather fast with the help of Izan's proxies – the Angels.
All residents of Fishman Island got their own island in the New World with the help of Izan and Jiutian. Neptune and the princes were rather happy that Izan had managed to change the whole world with his strength alone, and with them being his allies, no one would dare to harm them.
Akira personally went out on a live video that was broadcasted to the entire world where she was stating the change. That the World Government had tried to kill everyone, and Izan had saved them. Akira then said that the Navy will be the army of Izan, moving only under his commands and they will serve his 'Kingdom' which is the planet itself.
Many civilians didn't care that much of the change, as long as they weren't harmed in the process. But they soon changed their opinions when the pirates around the world was killed and food, protection and medicine was sent to every island on all seas.
Right now Izan was resting in the Navy Headquarters, and Hancock was resting soundly in his arm.
Perona, Jiutian, Defying, Robin and Shirahoshi were all sitting around in a room, resting while doing their own things. Robin was reading a book she had recived from Jiutian. Jiutian had her eyes closed, but a smile was showing on her face. Defying had a blank expression as she gazed towards Izan's room. And lastly Perona and Shirahoshi were both speaking to each other while giggling and laughing at times.
Nojiko was in a different room with a solemn expression showing on her, she didn't know what to feel, should she feel sad? Angry? Disgust? Shame? Nojiko didn't know what to feel, the only thing she knew was that she felt betrayed...
"Sister, it wasn't on purpose..." Nami didn't know what to say as she faced her sister Nojiko. Nami was left to be alone after the Revolutionary stopped their actions and went to their home islands.
Nojiko clenched her fist slightly as she stared at Nami. "You say that it wasn't on purpose, but both of us knows that you did it on purpose. The only reason you are regretting it now is because Izan is standing on the top." Nojiko let out a small sigh before she complained in a low voice. "Did you know that Izan really wished that you would travel with him? He was emotionally devastated when you left, you used him and threw him aside!" Nojiko's tone turned into anger towards the ending.
"Do you actually think I would let you 'join' us now? You're only wanting to get the benefits from being by Izan's side, and I can't allow that." Nojiko shook her head without hesitation.
"Nojiko, but we are sisters!" Nami couldn't help but to yell in a low voice. After everything was done and over with, Nami wanted to ask Izan if she could stay with him, but she was stopped by Nojiko before she could even meet him.
"Do sisters act like that!?" Nojiko also raised her voice as she unconsciously let out a bit of Conqueror's Haki which made Nami shiver in fear. "Sisters are meant to support each other at all given time. But what you did was to abandon not only me, but also Izan when you had clearly promised to stay with him. Us two might have been raised together, but those I call sisters are – Jiutian, Robin, Hancock, Perona, Shirahoshi and Def. We have been through a lot, and I can always trust them to have my back in bad times. But you, Nami, my so-called 'Sister', left me and my husband, only thinking of yourself. Nami, you're just selfish, there is nothing else than that!"
Nojiko couldn't contain back her anger towards her 'sister' Nami. Nojiko clearly knew how much Izan wanted Nami to stay with them at the start, he acted out of kindness and helped them out. But being 'used' by Nami as such made him devastated, and Nojiko never wanted that to happen again in the future. Therefore, she and all of her sisters had promised to keep a watch of any woman trying to get close to Izan.
Nami didn't know what to say any longer, she could only watch as Nojiko stood up from the chair and left the room...
Izan sensed someone nearing his bedroom and woke up, he stood up from the bed without waking up the sleeping Hancock. He wore a black and red suit with a dark cloak behind his back before opening the door. Izan raised an eyebrow as he gazed at the person in front of him.
"Do you have a moment to speak?" Akira asked in a low voice as she kept staring into Izan's eyes. Her facial expression didn't show much, but Izan could see that she was suppressing something for now.
Izan nodded and followed behind Akira. The two of them walked in silence for a few minutes before going inside a large room that seemed to be the room of the Fleet Admiral.
Akira gestured Izan to sit down on a couch before she sat on the couch on the opposite side. And when both of them were sitting down, Akira lowered her head and said. "You have my gratitude for saving not only my Father, but also the entire world." Her voice was warm yet her tone was calm.
"It wasn't much." Izan responded before sighing. "I and my wives will leave today."
"Where?" Akira asked while raising her eyebrows.
"To another world." Izan smiled faintly as he gazed at Akira. His facial expression didn't show much either, but it was clear that he didn't mind being with Akira.
"I see..." Akira nodded, it wasn't crazy for her to know that Izan could travel to other worlds. Akira pondered deeply about something, she didn't know how to speak her thoughts, therfore the only thing she could do was to speak it out straight. "If you are able to return to this place in the future after I have settled everything here on my side, I don't think I would mind staying by your side..." Akira's wording was rather crude, but it was the best she could do as she had never had such thoughts or spoken about such things with her Father in the past.
Akira didn't know her feelings to well, but she had a talk with her Father about this. And he replied to her 'That was what I felt for your Mother when we first met...'. Akira didn't know what love was, but she did feel comfortable being near Izan.
Izan wasn't suspicion of anything at all, he showed a bright smile towards Akira before flickering his hand. Something flashed out of Izan's body and entered Akira's body, it was slowly changing her body and soul to become much stronger and powerful.
With another flicker of his hand, two items appeared on the table in front of Akira. A vial of blood and a red orb of some sort.
"The light that went inside of your body changed your body and soul, making both of them much stronger. You will now stop aging and won't be infected by any illness or diseases. The blood inside of the vial is my blood, one drop of it can heal and strengthen others. And this red orb can send messages to me even if I am in other worlds, you can send me a message when you are done on your side, and at that moment I will return here to pick you up to be by my side." Izan explained with a smile on his face.
Izan couldn't deny that he had a soft spot for females. He could easily kill females if they were his enemy, and he wouldn't care for normal females either. The ones he cared for were his wives and those that interested his soul and body.
Akira was a rather beautiful lady, but that wasn't all, Izan felt something about her when she released her Conqueror's Haki during the Throne Wars. Izan has waited and observed Akira for a couple of days now, and only now has he decided to make place in his heart for Akira for the future.
The response Akira gave back was a serious nod. "Thank you, it means a lot to me." Akira knew that she had tried to harm Izan's wives during the Throne Wars, and she was rather surprised that Izan would give her so much only because she said that she wanted to stay by his side in the future. She was also quite happy that she wouldn't age any longer, but she tried her best in not showing towards Izan, not wanting him to believe that she only cared for the benefits. "I will contact you in the future when I am ready."
Izan smiled and nodded before standing and left the room. Izan vanished from his spot and appeared in the room where all of his wives are at. "Are all of you ready?" He asked in a warm tone as he gazed at them all with a gentle gaze.
All of them nodded without hesitation. This was the reason Izan had waited for a week, he wanted them to finish everything here before leaving. As it would most likely take a long time before they would return.
"Jiutian, we can only depend on you for now." Izan smiled brightly as he turned towards his first wife – Jiutian.
"Hold on." Jiutian smiled in return as she gazed at Izan.
A bright light appeared and all of their bodies went high up in the sky. The bright light was like a white sun up in the air.
Everyone in the world could see this bright white sun. It only lasted for around a minute. Almost no one knew what the white sun was, but there was a few that did...
Akira gazed at the white sun with a gentle smile on her face. She wished to finish everything and appoint someone else to be a Fleet Admiral rather quickly so that she could travel around in other worlds with Izan.
This is the epilogue for the One Piece Volume.
The next Volume would be rather fun to write I think!
I am not sure what to write in the author's note. It was really been a long Volume to write, but I feel satisfied with what I have written until now.
*Author is smiling like a fool right now*
Cough cough, let's hope that the next Volume will also be a good one.
