Chapter 35: Future plans
One week after the incident on Banaro Island…
Ezio and his crew sat on a table in the meeting room.
Besides his previous crew members, there were now five new people. The three royal guardians, Sid and Lily. Only Tsuru was missing.
„Why did you send Tsuru away, Ezio?", asked Hancock.
„I've recruited Tsuru for one purpose. It was that we have an ally and informant at the headquarter of the marines. Maybe we can get the informations we want because I'm a Celestial Dragon, but it's still better to have one member of our crew there. So she will be our intelligence officer at the heart of the marines"
„How can you trust her?", asked Reiju confused.
„This woman is smart. She knows what will benefit her and what not. To achieve her personal goals, she needs us"
Now Ezio looked at his team. The three royal guardians weren't true members of his crew, but Ezio had a plan for them in the future.
„Our next goal is to build a big organization. We first start with the ten division commanders. These ten people will be the strongest force of our crew and will stand on top of the organization. At this moment we only have Hachi, Reiju and Bonney. That means we need to find seven trustworthy people to join us"
Hancock, Sid and Lily looked at Ezio with a frown.
„Hancock is the deputy leader, she isn't included in the ten division commanders. She stands above them and if I'm not present, she will be the highest authority in our organization"
Hancock smiled after she heard that. The other crew members were not happy, but nobody was stronger than Hancock, so they had no chance to say something against it.
„Besides the ten division commanders, there will be a special unit that works in other areas that we need. Lily and Sid are part of the special force and these two are only responding to me or Hancock. The leader of the second special unit is Walter Benson. He will be the leader of our intelligence group, but this will have to wait until we have enough people who join us"
Sid and Lily were happy that they had a special position that was only under the leader and the vice leader. Walter Benson was shocked. He never thought that he would be the leader of a special force. Ezio thought he was perfect for this position because he had the power of the swap swap fruit.
„We will have me as the leader and Hancock as the deputy leader. Under me are the ten strongest people of this organization - three of the ten leaders will have the power of a logia fruit, Reiju is the first one. The next three will have the power of a zoan fruit. The other three will have the power of a paramecia fruit, Bonney will be one of them. The last one is Hachi - he will be our swordsman and he is a special existence under the ten division commanders. He will recruit a group of strong fighters, but no one of them will eat a devil fruit. We need such a group, if someone would fall into the sea and we all were devil fruit users… this wouldn't be a funny way to die"
„Besides the ten commanders, one unit consists of Lily and Sid, I don't know how to name them… The only name I can think of is the ‚scheming division', but this sounds stupid. You two will be part of the shadow force in our organization, this includes Benson as the leader of the intelligence division. You act a little bit like Cipher Pol works for the World Government, but you can't compare the two"
„This is only the highest authority of our organization. All the division commanders will need a deputy, and this deputy has to be strong. Every division commander will have their own crew who represents us in this world. We have to recruit a lot of people - but this is something we can discuss when we found our ten division commanders. We are truly in a strange situation. I have all devil fruits to make us a big force, but we lack the people who can eat them. Isn't it usually so that organizations have enough people but not enough devil fruits? It doesn't really matter. Most of our future members, I already know where we can find them"
His knowledge from the manga was truly a blessing. There were many characters he had in mind and the next mission was to find them and recruit them. The best thing was that he had many devil fruits. He could recruit every character, make them strong and slowly build trust with them.
After that everyone left the meeting room. Reiju was depressed because Hancocks position was higher than hers, Hachi and Bonney didn't really care. Lily was happy because she liked to play in the shadows and Walter Benson was shocked because he was given so much trust by Ezio.
Only Hancock and Ezio remained in the meeting room.
„Ezio, you are strange. How did you know that there was this fight on Banaro Island?"
Ezio shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.
„You said you know most of the people you will recruit… How do you know these people? We were together since you were a little brat and you never left the Holy Land. Answer me! Since you were a little brat, you knew of so many things, but who told you all these things?"
„The old fox"
„I don't believe you! This old fox can't even remember his own servants. How could he know all these things?"
Ezio sighed. Hancock always asked him these questions. She knew him since he was a little brat and his behavior and knowledge would make everyone suspicious at some point. How could he tell her that this world was a manga in his past life and now he was reborn into this manga. He didn't answer but used a tactic that would distract this suspicious woman.
He gave her a kiss on her cheeks.
„You know, my bed is very big. Too big for one person to sleep alone… You can join me tonight if you want to"
This was the best way to change the topic. A furious Hancock was now chasing the celestial brat. All the questions she had were forgotten in her fury.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Altara
Altara It's time for recruitment! I have many characters in mind. You can write in the comments which character you would like to join this organization. It would be better if the character had no devil fruit at this point. Even Makino could make chaos in the New World if Ezio would give her the lightning fruit... So everything is possible! Write me your ideas :-)
Chapter 36: Walter Benson
Ezio looked at Benson and couldn't help but smile. This guy was a treasure. Ezio was happy that he first visited Paradise Island. The devil fruits of these guys had so much potential, but these guys didn't even know about it.
In front of Benson were many little stones.
„I have to touch them all?", asked Benson confused.
Ezio nodded.
„Okay guys, first we have to take advantage of Bensons abilities. This will make our recruitment easier. Reiju will go to the North Blue, Hachi to the West Blue. Hancock to the South Blue and I will go to the East Blue. Take these stones and a snail with you. When you arrive at your first island, give me a call. I will tell you what to do. Bonney and the rest will bring our ship to Alabasta. When you arrive at this island, give me a call. See you later"
After he said that Ezio jumped into the sky. His next destination was the East Blue.
If you would travel with the ship, this would take a long time. Hachi, Hancock and Ezio could walk on air, and Reiju could fly because of her raid suit. With the speed of these guys, it wouldn't take long before they could arrive at all Four Sea's in a short amount of time. It was like a plane back on earth, in the sky you could travel the whole world in one day. They weren't as fast as a plane, but they weren't slow either.
After some time Ezio arrived at the East Blue. He knew many islands of the East Blue from the manga, but he was here only for one person. His first stop was Conomi Island. This was the home town of Nami. He landed in front of a house and then took a stone and a snail out of his pocket.
„Benson? You can come over"
After he talked with the snail, the stone vanished and Benson appeared in front of Ezio.
In Ezio's opinion, this was the strongest ability of the swap swap fruit. It was so useful that Ezio had to cry tears of joy after he heard about this ability.
This guy could swap anything in this world. The only restriction was that he had to touch it beforehand. If he touched a stone once in the East Blue, he could swap anytime with this stone. This meant that this guy could teleport his people to every corner of this world after he visited and touched something that was there once.
Ezio's crew could be everywhere, and he could teleport them in front of him in a second with this guys abilities. This was too good to be true. This was also the reason that Ezio made him the leader of the intelligence department. Now that Benson arrived at the East Blue, the first thing he did was touching everything around him. If they wanted to go to the East Blue now, they could arrive here at any second.
Ezio walked into the house in front of him. In the house he saw a beautiful girl with blue hair.
„What are you doing here?", asked the girl confused.
„Hey, my name is Blackflame Ezio"
The girl was shocked. Even she knew who this guy was. Maybe not everyone saw the fight on a screen, but the newspaper told the whole world about this incident. Even today they are writing about this guy.
Why was such a famous guy in her house?
Ezio sat on a chair like this was his own house.
„Nojiko, don't you want to offer me something to drink?"
Nojiko was shocked. How did this guy knew her name?
„You don't have to look so shocked. I heard about your story. Monkey D. Luffy, he is my little cousin"
Now she was more shocked. How could a Celestial Dragon have a pirate as a cousin?
„Nojiko, I heard about the hardships in your past. This Island was tormented by pirates and corrupt marines. This is the fault of the World Government - we couldn't protect our people and you had to suffer such a tragic past"
Ezio stood up and bowed in front of Nojiko. She was scared because a Celestial Dragon was bowing in front of her. If the world would see this, they would be shocked! A god bowing in front of a lowly commoner of the East Blue…
„You said you know me, then you must have heard about my goal. I want that the citizens of this world can live peacefully. No pirate, no marine and no Celestial Dragon should threaten this peace! Maybe I'm strong, but there are too many islands on this world and I can't be on every island, I'm just one person. I need comrades, people who fight by my side and help me achieve my goal. And I want you to join me. I want you to help me"
Nojiko gulped down a mouth full of saliva.
„I'm just a normal girl, without power, without anything. How could I help you? What use do I have?"
Ezio smiled. He looked at his ring and then several devil fruits dropped to the ground.
„I can make you strong, faster than you think. What I'm interested in is not the strength of my people, this I can change. More important is their mindset. You experienced the terror of pirates and corrupt marines, I think you and I want to achieve the same. You are a young girl with potential, do you want to stay on this island and do nothing? Every moment, a new pirate could arrive at your home town and do the same what Arlong did. Even Nami, your sister, is working everyday to improve herself. Only if you become strong you can defend what you want to defend. Follow me, and I will show you the world "
He reached his hand out to her and waited.
After that Nojiko thought for a moment. She looked at the hand in front of her and at the confident smile of this young man. She didn't notice that her hand grasped his unconsciously.
„Okay, I will join you"
…
After some time, the whole village gathered at the center of the town. All villagers looked at a young man who stood in the middle.
„Villagers, my name is Blackflame Ezio, I'm a Celestial Dragon and came to your town after I heard your history"
After Ezio said that, all villagers kneeled down and looked scared. Ezio sighed. This was the usual reaction a Celestial Dragon would get in this world.
„I heard about your hardships and how this village was tormented by pirates. I will apologize to everyone - this won't happen in the future"
Then a big sculpture appeared in front of Ezio. This sculpture had the emblem of the Blackflame House. Under the emblem was a sentence - this sentence told everyone that this island was protected by the Blackflame family. Everyone who would break the rules of this island would be hunted down be the Blackflame family.
Every villager looked shocked to this imposing sculpture in front of them.
„You are all my citizens, and I won't allow any criminal to threaten you again! I will give the chief of this village a snail, if you are in danger you can call us anytime. We will fight for you, and we will defend you!"
After this the whole village cheered. Now they had the protection of a Celestial Dragon! Who would dare to attack their village?
Ezio smiled. This island was now his territory. Maybe there wasn't much on this island, but it had a big effect on his reputation and on his new partner. This wasn't the first island that would become the territory of the Blackflame House.
Benson walked towards Ezio.
„Reiju arrived at the North Blue, boss"
Ezio smiled. Wasn't there an old friend in the North Blue? After that Benson, Nojiko and Ezio vanished. Where the three people stood were now three little stones.
