Twins

Izan wore a blood-red robe which matched his hair colour. E had started loving the colours blood-red, silver and purple over the passing of the weeks since he met with Jiutian.

Izan was walking up towards the deck with Hancock and Perona behind him. Perona liked to wear gothic themed dresses, the one she was wearing now was black with red frills.

Hancock was wearing a long red dress with purple designs on it. Hancock had asked Jiutian about clothes previously and Jiutian gave everyone a wardrobe of clothes, including shoes and jewellery.

Jiutian sitting around a table. Nojiko and Robin were drinking red wine whereas Jiutian was drinking sake.

"Izan, are you alright?" Nojiko stood up first, she was really worried that Izan had been heavily injured during the war.

"I'm fine, most of the injuries are already healed. I am at most only weakened for the next two or three days." Izan smiled, he truly enjoyed that there were people around him that cared for him. It felt like that Izan had finally opened his eyes and could feel again.

"Izan, have you changed somehow?" Robin stood up too and asked Izan. "It at least feels likes so. From what can see, your emotions are more visible now." Robin was smart enough to see when someone was truly expressing their feelings or that there is something hindering it.

Izan nodded slowly before shaking it too. "I feel like I have woken up somehow. That what I can see now, feel now and wish for now is more clearer." Izan replied with a curious expression as he did also wonder too for why he was feeling like this.

Jiutian stood up and stared at Ian with a genuine smile. "Izan, your soul has been awakened. That is why you feel like things has been more clearer." Jiutian shook her head before continuing. "I don't know what you will be gaining for awakening your soul in detail. But the thing I know is that this was just a matter of time o happen and that it will help you in the future." Jiutian was truly happy that Izan had awakened his soul. A soul is more important than what others would have thought. It would guarantee easier time to learn and grow stronger in many different ways. For Izan, it would be in the minimal of Haki and Laws.

This was also why Blackbeard had a better soul than the "normal" people living in this world. Very few rare people had stronger souls than others like Blackbeard.

"You don't need to think much of it, your body and soul will gradually grow stronger until it reaches the apex." Jiutian explained in few details. She could to some degree see the state of Izan's soul. And, Jiutian did also notice that "it" had also awakened. It as a huge surprise for Jiutian as she had thought that it had died a long time ago. A smile appeared on her face as she was happy to find out that it resided inside of Izan's soul.

"Alright, do tell me about the reasons we are going to meet the Revolutionary leader?" Izan understood and knew what Jiutian would tell him if something was important.

Jiutian nodded as she explained about the three strong people near the battlefield, and that one of them was Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionaries." He asked to meet you, I accepted it because I thought that he wold have information about this world and the reasons why there exist a Revolutionary Army." Jiutian knew that they needed information. That was why she accepted on Izan's Behalf.

"Understandable. It was a good decision to accept it. Because from his invitation, we can already speculate that they need strength to overcome their enemies." Izan nodded as he walked to the edge of the deck.

"Which of you can speak with me to answer my questions?" Izan's voice was clear and soft, yet it reached very far away.

It didn't take long before Luffy, Sabo, Koala, Garp, Ace and Nami stood on the edge of their own ship. "May we go on board your ship?" Sabo asked as he knew that Jiutian had previously warned them not to.

Izan nodded without thinking much of it. "Jiutian, could you place a dozen chairs and a table here on the deck?" Izan asked Jiutian as he didn't want them to go inside.

Jiutian nodded as dozen chairs were placed around a table. As Izan and his wives sat on their own chairs, Luffy and the rest jumped and landed on Defying. Luffy's eyes ere widened and stars in his eyes. They all say on the chairs and stared at each other.

"Thanks for letting us escape, Heavenly Izan." Ace lowered his head slightly. Ace never liked to act respectably, but he wasn't someone that was ungrateful. He knows that it would have been very difficult for his brothers and grandfather to leave the war with little to none injuries if it wasn't because of Izan handling much of the threats from the Admirals.

Izan raised one eyebrow towards Ace and Garp, he sighed as he motioned his hand to stop them. "It wasn't anything to mention. My goal never was any of you. I wanted to show and tell the Navy not to mess or make me angry in the future." Izan's real goals was after all the Navy and the Wold Government.

"Now the thing I want to know where we are going to." Izan asked a simple question, but he asked this to know how much they would tell him.

Luffy waited for a second before he answered Izan. "We are meeting my father, he should be staying on the Revolutionary Headquarters on Balista." Luffy answered truthfully as he remembered his father to tell Izan truthfully if he asked anything.

Izan was slightly surprised that Luffy told him about the location of their Headquarters, but he didn't show any expressions on his face. Izan nodded as he also glanced at he other members of he Revolutionary and Ace and Garp.

"You're a pirate and you were a Navy, why are the two of you here?" Izan asked as he was raising his eyebrows.

"Luffy and Sabo are my adopted brothers. I will stay with them till I have recovered before going back to the New World and lead the Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates." Ace knew that he had to lead as a Captain and reclaim any lost territory which the other Emperors may have taken.

Izan nodded as he could guess that Ace would take over Whitebeard and lead the pirates as an Emperor.

Garp on the other hand hesitated slightly before he answered. "I'm these brats' grandfather. And, my son is Dragon." Garp had been getting a lot of complaints on how a Navy Hero had allowed his son to create the Revolutionary Army, and how his grandson was a part pirate and part Revolutionary.

"Izan, Garp is known as a Hero, he had fought the previous Pirate King, Gol D. Roger." Robin explained a little of what she knew of Garp to Izan.

"There must be a reason why you are known as a Hero, why your son is the leader of the Revolutionary Army and why you betrayed the Navy." Izan could understand clearly that the reason Dragon invited to Baltigo was also the reason Garp betrayed the Navy. There must be something that had happened in the past which made all of this unfold.

Garp clenched his fists as he nodded. Garp's eyes turned bloodshot as he spoke in a deep voice. "The Navy set me up against my family. I lost way too much, and later I found out that everything was planned out by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, only to get what they wanted." Garp's voice turned cold as he could still remember how he fought his family and the expressions of the Celestial Dragons…

Garp lowered his head as he spoke in a dreadful tone. "I had two sons, Dragon and Dragan. They were twins. I killed Dragan with my own hands because I was blinded with what the Navy and the World Government told me…!" Garp could still remember the blood on his hands as he saw the corpse of his own son in front of him…
