Admiral Kizaru was a little bit confused. In front of him was his little student and besides him were three girls.
„So you want that I train these girls, too?", he asked with doubt.
„Yes", answered Ezio and nodded his head.
„Who are these girls?"
„My official servants"
„Who is your servant!", said Hancock with killing intent in her eyes.
„Fine, one brat or four brats, whats the difference", Kizaru shook his head,
„Who are you calling a brat, huh?", said Ezio with angry eyes.
„S-Sorry, young lord…"
„Just kidding, let's start!"
After the hard training, the three sisters couldn't even walk. Maybe this admiral guy had a casual attitude, one could even think he was lazy sometimes, but when the training started, he changed completely.
And why did Boa Hancock and her sisters started to train with the celestial brat? Well, the reason was simple.
The twelve year old Boa Hancock lost against a little brat in a fight. As a proud citizen from Amazon Lily, where only the strong were revered, she couldn't accept this defeat. So the two made a bet. In a couple of years they would fight again, and the winner of the fight would be the boss for a life time. After Sandersonia and Marigold heard about their bet, they wanted to spit blood, but they knew how their big sister was. She was just too proud and couldn't accept the loss against a little brat.
After the first fight between Hancock and Ezio several years passed.
Blackflame Ezio was now seventeen years old and grew up to be a handsome young man. He had short black hair and blue eyes. He wasn't too tall, but wasn't small either. He was dressed in black from head to toe. On his face was a confident smile.
Kizaru stood in front of his four students and today was the last day of their training. He was really proud of this four students of his, if they would go out to sea they could shock the whole world.
„You four mastered all six techniques of Rokushiki and can even use armament and observation haki to some degree. There is nothing I could teach you anymore. Even without devil fruits, you four became really strong. It's time for me to go"
All four of them had tears in their eyes. In these years, they developed a strong bond with this strange marine admiral and accepted him as their teacher. Even Ezio couldn't help but shed some tears.
„Teacher, thank you!", said Ezio and bowed to Kizaru.
„Thank you, teacher!", even the Boa sisters bowed.
„What are you doing now, boy?", asked the admiral with a smile on his face.
„First, I will subdue this arrogant and beautiful girl next to me and let her join my team", Ezio smiled and pointed towards Boa Hancock.
„Then we will break out of this prison and roam the world, so that my old man will grow more grey hairs!"
After hearing this answer, admiral Kizaru did not know if he was happy or sad. This little monster would create a lot of chaos and who could stop him with the background as the heir of the Blackflame family. Poor Marines, poor pirates, poor revolutionary… nobody in this world would be spared.
Kizaru did not even say goodbye and vanished with the power of his fruit. Ezio looked to Boa Hancock and they knew what the other was thinking.
Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold couldn't help but distance themselves from these two people. These two were monsters way out of their league.
„So, little Hancock, are you ready to accept me as your boss?"
„Hmph, celestial brat, who would want you as a boss?"
After she said that, she kicked him with her long legs. Her foot was covered in black armament haki and even Ezio had to be careful.
„Your armament haki is stronger than mine, little Han. But my observation haki is way above yours"
Ezio smiled as he dodged hundreds of kicks. In comparison to Sanjis fighting style, the style of Hancock was even more powerful.
They were only fighting with raw power and haki. They didn't use any of the Rokushiki techniques. In terms of haki and raw power, they were both equal and nobody had an advantage. Hancocks attacks and armament haki were more powerful, but Ezios speed and observation Haki brought their fight in a balance of equal strength.
Hancock was not happy. This little brat was seven years younger than her and could fight equal with her.
„Why don't you bring out your weapon?", asked Hancock annoyed. She knew he would win when he would draw his weapon. They both knew who would win this fight from the start. They trained more than a decade together and knew the strength and weaknesses like no other. So this fight was more because Hancock was too proud and would never tell this arrogant brat that he was stronger. That was because he was only a little bit stronger than her.
Ezio smiled and drew the huge weapon that was on his back. It was a huge black scythe that his old man gave him many years ago.
„Accept your defeat, Hancock!"
Several meters away stood an old man with grey hair. He looked older than twelve years ago but had a youthful smile on his face as he watched his grandson fight.
„That this black scythe would once again enter this world, and even in the hands of my own grandson. Hahaha…"
The old man knew that his little boy wanted to go out into the world and show everyone his power. He was very proud of this brat. It was unusual for a celestial dragon to be like his grandson, but wasn't he the same in his young days? Maybe when he would take over his noble house one day, he would make many changes in the world.
Hancock accepted her defeat.
„Who is the vice captain?", asked Ezio with a smile.
„Hmph"
„Who is the captain?"
„Hmph"
„Who is your husband?"
„Go to hell, celestial bastard!"
Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold looked at Ezio who ran away from an angry Hancock with a red face. Both of them smiled because they saw this scene every day in the last years.
„Sandersonia, it is time for us to go back to Amazon Lily. We can't follow these two monsters, or our life would be really miserable with the chaos these two would bring to this world"
„You are right. It's time that we let big sister go"
Ezio met his old man in the evening because he wanted to tell him that he would flee from this luxurious prison in the next few days.
After he entered the room, he saw his old men with his mother at the side. His mother did not change in the last years, she still looked beautiful and young. Ezio looked exactly like his mother and that was really good luck.
„Little fox, you want to run away from your grandfather? You unfilial brat, wasn't I a good grandfather?"
„Old man, you spoiled me too much. My character is the worst"
Both of them laughed but then they sensed the killing intent from Ezios mother Lucy. Just with a glare, the men of the Blackflame House went silent. Both of them feared this women.
„You have to show us that you have the strength to represent the Blackflame name in the world, we don't want you to embarrass our noble name"
The old man smiled and Ezio sensed the coming of disaster.
The old man pointed at his mother.
„You have to beat hear, brat!"
Ezios sweated. He had to beat his own mother? He would rather fight Whitebeard than his own mother!
„Come on, brat. Show your mother how good you are"
Ezio had to do it. His hands became black and he used his strongest armament haki. With all the power he had he attacked his beautiful mother but she did not move a bit.
When his fist hit her, the spot where his fist landed became black. Then all the power reflected and Ezio flew several meters away, his face full of blood.
„What the hell? Mom, what is this crazy armament haki?!"
Ezio was shocked.
Then he attacked his mother with kicks, fists, he even took his scythe and attacked with all he got.
But his mother did not even move an inch! She just stood there and defended all his attacks with her monstrous haki!
„MOM? Why are you so strong? What is this armament haki? You, you, you…."
The old man laughed and even his arrogant mother had a little smirk on her face.
„Do you think this mother of yours is so arrogant and cruel only because she is my precious daughter? Hahaha…"
The old man truly liked to brag about his children. But this was the first time he bragged about his daughter in front of Ezio.
„This girl is a Blackflame, brat. Do you think she is weak? Her name is Blackflame D. Lucy! You have to search the whole world to find someone with a stronger armament haki then this girl. Do you think I would let her run wild with my precious grandson in this dangerous world if she didn't have this strength? Hahaha…."
Ezio was shocked. What? Why Blackflame D. Lucy? Why D? But he couldn't think further because his mom rushed with abnormal speed in front of him.
„You lost, brat"
And then with a black fist that landed directly on his head, he lost conscious.
After he awoke, he was in a luxurious room. This room was full of treasures. It was the heilroom of the Blackflame family and Ezio was stunned how rich his family was. Even the four emperors of the sea would kill anything in their way to get the treasures in this room.
„So you woke up, little fox. Welcome to our secret room. Only the members of our family are allowed to enter this room"
Ezios eyes were drawn to the center of this room. There was a round table with a mysterious devil fruit on top of it. This was a strange devil fruit. It looked like an apple, but it had three colors.
„So you noticed this fruit, brat. This is the biggest treasure of our family and this is the reason why we are called the Blackflame family"
The old man grinned and took the fruit from the table. Then he gave it to Ezio.
„Eat it"
„What?", Ezio was shocked. „Isn't this the biggest treasure of our family? Why are you giving me this?"
The old man laughed.
„Hahaha, you are right. Every Blackflame member has to guard this fruit with his own live. When this fruit is eaten, it will bring chaos to the world. But you past the secret trial of our family and met the three conditions from our ancestor. You are allowed to show this power to the world!"
„What trial? There was no trial I can remember!", answered Ezio confused.
„The first trial was the trial of devil fruits. Every young child of our family has access to the strongest devil fruits of the world. Do you think I gave you all those devil fruits because I want to spoil you? No! It was to test your willpower. Even after you got the lightning logia, which power can bring you to the top of this world, you did not eat it. When you asked me to get you a devil fruit, I was really disappointed. I thought you would eat the first I gave you and you would directly be disqualified. I gave you the best devil fruits in the world, but none was good enough for you. Because of this mentality, you passed the first test of our ancestor!"
Ezio realized everything. This was the reason why this old man went all out and brought him all the fruits. Ezio was lucky, he wanted to eat one of the fruits before he started his adventure. Good that he ate none till this moment!
„You know, I failed when I was young and ate a devil fruit my father gave me. Even your mother ate one. Since our first ancestor, no one could resist to eat one of the powerful devil fruits that they got in their young age. You are the first!"
Ezio was confused. He really wanted to know what the power of his old man and mother was. He knew they wouldn't tell him, they would only show him their power if he was strong enough.
„The second test?"
„Of course, its conqueror haki!"
„Huh? But I didn't use conqueror haki?"
„Of course you did! But you didn't notice it. Ask that little girl, what was her name? Hancock! Every time you fight with her, it shows. Only the people around you feel this haki. Why do you think the other two little girls always run away when you two fight? Even Hancock has this haki, boy. You have to be careful. A women with this haki isn't easy to subdue, you know"
The old man laughed at his own comment.
„So what's the third trial?"
„The third one has yet to come. You have to eat this fruit and you have to survive"
„What? This fruit can kill me?"
The old man nodded. This time he was serious.
„This fruit is one of a kind. There is no second in this world that is like this fruit. Usually, fruits are categorized as logia, zoan, or paramecia. But this fruit is different, because it has three different abilities. One ability is like a zoan fruit, one is like a logia fruit, and the last one is like a paramecia fruit. If you master this fruit, then it is like you mastered three different devil fruits!"
Ezios eyes began to shine. What is this super broken devil fruit?
[Blackbeard, you noob. You waited for years for one logia fruit and you thought it would be the strongest. But why did you not find out about this fruit? Well, I doubt you would have the ability to steal it from this crazy family.]
„Don't be happy too early, little fox. Everything in this world has it's price! First, you have to survive eating this fruit. Then you have to have the potential to unlock the power of this fruit. Our first ancestor ate this fruit and unlooked only one power in his whole life. He was the reason the people call us Blackflame, and that with only one of the three abilities. He was a genius that stood at the top of our world but even he could not unlock the other two abilities!"
Ezio nodded with a serious face. Blackbeards fruit was overpowered, but it also had a weakness. This fruit had more power than the yami yami no mi, so there where also more risks.
„Brat, you decide. Want to risk it?"
