Fifth Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Izan

After Pekoms and Tamago left, the dining room went silent as no one knew what to say.

"Jiutian, give it to her." Izan told Jiutian as he turned towards Shirahoshi and spoke in a casual tone. "My offer stands, become my wife and I will protect Fishman Island." As Izan was speaking, he motioned towards Jiutian who held a flask of clear liquid in it. "Drinking this will make you a normal human…"

Neptune and Shyarly both were amazed and shocked by hearing what Izan just said. They glared at the flask and tried to see what made it special.

Jiutian placed the flask of liquid on the table and pushed it towards the shocked Shirahoshi. In truth, the flask was filled with water, Jiutian herself was able to change someone with a flick of her hand. The flask of water was just to make them believe that it wasn't one of her abilities, but because of a liquid.

Shirahoshi gazed at the flask of water, then at Izan. Shirahoshi turned her gaze to her father and brothers. She never liked to be decisive, and her timidness made her not able to decide in many things. But, this was one of the few times Shirahoshi was not timid nor shy…

Neptune and the princes were about to pounce at the flask with the liquid in it, as they had a bad premonition of Shirahoshi drinking it.

And as they thought, Shirahoshi picked up the flask and drank all the liquid in one go. Shirahoshi tasted the liquid and felt that it was really refreshing.

A bright light appeared and engulfed Shirahoshi in it, everyone other than Izan and Jiutian had to squint their eyes.

Shirahoshi felt a warm energy covering her body and it was slowly changing it…

It took two whole minutes before the bright light vanished and everyone was baffled by what they were seeing.

Shirahoshi was around 165 centimetres (5,41 foot) tall, her skin was white and smooth. Shirahoshi's pink hair was flowing down towards her legs, beside from that, Shirahoshi still had a slight blush on her cheeks and she was timidly gazing around, finding everything around her very large in comparison to what she had been seeing before.

Jiutian flickered her hand once again, and some clothes appeared on the table in front of Shirahoshi. It was a red robe, which matched with Izan's robe. The reason Jiutian did so was because Shirahoshi was standing there in her bare body.

Neptune's eyes narrowed, and he bashed the heads of his sons as he roared out "Look away!" This only made Shyarly laugh and Shirahoshi started blushing in a deeper red as she tried wearing the robe.

When Shirahoshi finally wore the robe, she saw down and glanced downwards as she spoke in a low voice. "Sorry father, I want to follow Izan…" Her whispering voice was like a mosquito as she lowered her head even deeper down.

Neptune sighed before he turned towards Izan. "Boy, will you protect my daughter Shirahoshi no matter what?" If Izan told Neptune something he didn't want to hear, then Neptune would fight even if he knew that he had no chance of winning.

Izan smiled in return as he nodded. "Of course, I will always protect my wives no matter what even if I have to sacrifice my own life." Izan was speaking the truth, he would rather die than to see his wives dying before him. He would turn worlds upside down, tear them with his bare hands and burn universes if he had to…

Neptune sighed once again as he leaned backwards at his chair in defeat. "I want to at least have the wedding here in Fishman Island, I want everyone to know that the Heavenly Pirates are protecting Fishman Island and that 'Heavenly Emperor Izan' is marrying my daughter, Shirahoshi." Neptune knew that he could use this to their own benefit. It would be much easier for fishman and mermaids to live simpler and not being hunted down if they were protected by such a strong person.

"Heavenly Emperor Izan?" Nojiko and Perona asked in a surprised tone. Whereas Hancock was proud of someone speaking of how amazing her Husband was. Robin and Jiutian was slightly interested in the new title Izan had gotten, but they were really surprised as in their eyes, it was just a moment of time before the people would call Izan an Emperor as his strength was beyond an Admiral.

"Yes, haven't you read the newspaper?" Neptune glanced at Izan's wives before he ordered a guard to bring them a newspaper of the latest edition.

Meanwhile this was going on, Shirahoshi stood up from her chair and went to Izan. She had her head lowered as she didn't dare to glance at Izan right now. But when she neared Izan, she felt a warmness she hadn't felt since her mother died.

Izan was stroking Shirahoshi's hair gentle as he placed her on his lap. He didn't speak, only stroking her hair slowly as he smiled gently. He could see that both Perona and Hancock were being jealous, but Izan was also able to see that they were happy that they got a new member for their family.

It didn't take long before the guard came back with several newspaper, he placed them on the table for everyone to see.

On the front page.

"The Heavenly Pirates brought the chaos to Marineford during the execution of Portogas D. Ace. The Admirals fought bravely and managed to kill the previously strongest man alive – Whitebeard. But, whilst they were weakened, Heavenly Izan arrived and fought two Admirals to a standstill. "

"His crew members fought in the war, defeating two Royal Warriors of the Seas, Doflamingo and Dracule Mihawk."

"In the end, Fleet Admiral Sengoku lost his life in order to protect the marines from the dangerous pirates as Blackbeard and Jiutian. Blackbeard lost his life, but Jiutian, the right hand of Heavenly Izan was able to escape with the injured Izan."

Izan didn't care much and swept through the newspaper and read further ahead.

"With the fall of an Emperor, two Emperor has arrived to take Whitebeard's spot. Portogas D. Ace is leading the previous Whitebeard Pirates as the fourth Emperor of the Seas."

"And, the fifth Emperor of the Seas, Heavenly Emperor Izan. Izan's strength is beyond an Admiral and is on the border line of the Emperor of the Seas, his crew is small, yet they are all deadly."

"Silent Sword Jiutian is a ruthless person that will brutally kill her opponents. Golden Pole Nojiko's strength has skyrocketed in the past weeks since her debut and her loyalty to Izan seems to have no boundary. Devil Child Robin has grown stronger while staying with the Heavenly Pirates. Snake Princess Boa Hancock has shown her loyalty towards Izan while fighting the marines and the pirates during the Marineford War. Ghost Princess Perona has shown abilities with great powers and it seems like the rest of the Heavenly Pirates, she is also loyal to Izan."

"Heavenly Emperor Izan."

"Bounty – 2,000,000,000 Berry."

"Dead or Alive."

"A fifth Emperor has appeared during the Chaotic Era of Pirates. Heavenly Emperor Izan has a small, yet deadly crew. Avoid at any cost!"

"Silent Sword Jiutian."

"Bounty – 700,000,000 Berry."

"Dead or Alive."

"The right hand of the fifth Emperor of the Seas! Her powers and strength are beyond a Vice Admiral and it is recommended not fighting her."

"Golden Pole Nojiko."

"Bounty – 300,000,000 Berry,"

"Dead or Alive."

"Golden Pole Nojiko is one of the earliest members of the Heavenly Pirates, her strength has increased fast and her mastery of the pole is unmatched."

"Demon Child Nico Robin."

"Bounty – 315,000,000 Berry."

"Dead or Alive."

"Nico Robin is wanted by the entire world for her acts for when she was young. She is now under the protection of the Heavenly Pirates and her strength has grown stronger whilst staying with the Heavenly Pirates."

"Snake Princess Boa Hancock."

"Bounty – 350,000,000 Berry."

"Dead or Alive."

"Boa Hancock has tried to fight the Celestial Dragons and is seeking refuge with the Heavenly Pirates. And she has shown loyalty to Heavenly Izan during the Marineford War."

"Ghost Princess Perona."

"Bounty – 250,000,000 Berry."

"Dead or Alive."

"Perona's appearance was quick as no one has seen her previously before now. Her strength is unknown, and her ability is to control ghosts. She has shown strength of fighting abilities below of the rest of the Heavenly Pirates, yet it seems that her loyalty towards Izan doesn't lose to any of them."

"Overall estimation of the Heavenly Pirates is that they are a crazy bunch who wants seeks to wreck havoc and chaos anywhere and everywhere they go."

"The Navy and the World Government are preparing for a cleanse in the New World of Pirates."
