Bab 2: Mary Geoise
On the redline was the place where the rulers of this world lived. A little boy with his mother and grandfather entered the holy land of Mary Geoise. The mother had an indifferent expression, the grandfather a very angry one. For the little boy, he was so shocked that his grandfather had to remind him to breathe from time to time.
The name of the little boy was Blackflame Ezio, the first grandson of the head of the famous Blackflame family. Even amongst celestial dragons is a hierarchy and the Blackflame House was on the top. Ezios grandfather had only two daughters. One daughter was Ezios mother and the other ran away and nobody knew where she was. These circumstances made Ezio the new heir of the Blackflame House. This was also the reason that his family name was that from his mothers family.
Ezios mother ran away from Mary Geoise because she wanted to rebel against her father. The head of the family wanted a grandson that could manage the family in the future because this women wasn't really reliable to take responsibilities. So he had no other chance than to marry his daughter to a guy. After the two did the deed and his daughter got pregnant, she killed her husband and ran away with her child still in her belly.
The head of the Blackflame House could only shake his head when he thought about the character of his daughter. No words could describe this unreasonable girl.
The grandfather watched his only grandson with a frown on his face. Sometimes this grandson of his would smile like a crazy scientist, sometimes he would shed tears. In the short time that he met this grandson, he wold change the emotions on his face almost every minute. After the grandfather put him in the clothes of the celestial dragon, the child almost ran away. The old man was confused.
[This little boy is really weird. When I would realize that I'm a celestial dragon, I would be happy. Who does not want to be a celestial dragon? This boy is weird.]
After walking through this enormous city, Ezio saw what it meant to stand as gods in this world. The houses and this whole place was a piece of art. Every stone and every plant smelled like money. Everywhere were men with black suits and sunglasses. All had respectful expressions when they watched this family. Even other celestial dragons became humble in the presence of his grandfather.
The emotions of the little boy stabilized after some time. Maybe it was better to start as a celestial dragon than to be a nobody in this world. Devil fruits and everything that money could buy would be no problem for him. Maybe this was the cheat that the gods gave him. A system or a unique power would be better, but this was better than nothing.
[So, I am a celestial dragon now. Shit! Mom, couldn't you say something? I barely survived a heart attack in this short life of mine. Hmm, but this is the story of One Piece. I don't know the end of this story, the last chapters I could read was at the beginning of the wano country arc. Who knows what the end of this story will be like? Maybe that crazy rubber head would smash Mary Geoise with one fist and that would be the end of my noble life. No, I cant stay here forever. I will take every advantage I get and then I will flee to some peaceful place and let them fight each other.]
The trio arrived in front of a huge castle. This would be the new home for Ezio from know on. He had to admit, this was better than his little house in his past life.
After they entered the house, they sat down on a huge table. Many slaves kneeled down after they entered their home. All kind of food and drinks were served. After a long moment of silence, the grandfather began to talk.
„Are you satisfied now, Lucy?"
Ezio watched his mother. She had the expression of a little teenage girl that wanted to rebel against her father.
„That is all because of you, father. Why did I have to make a child with this bastard? I'm so young! I didn't want to be a mother! Be happy that I did not kill this boy. I could not kill my own child."
Ezios grandfather frowned but Ezio was not surprised. This mother of his was the total opposite of a gentle and loving mother. It was good luck for Ezio that he had his memory of his past life and was really mature, without that he would not doubt that this little child would have depression at early age.
„How can you talk like that in front of your own child?"
Ezios grandfather was really angry. He knew that his daughter was a spoiled girl. Ezios grandfather thought that he could correct the character of his daughter when she would see the life outside of this little paradise. This was the only reason why the daughter of the noble Blackflame House could run away from this place under the watchful eyes of the world government.
He shifted his gaze towards his little grandson who looked at his mother with an indifferent face. Now he felt guilt for this little boy who must have had a very depressing life till this point.
„Here is you precious grandson, father. Im going"
There was absolute silence for a little while because the noble house head of the Blackflame family was speechless.
„I'm sorry, Ezio"
Ezio did not answer. He watched this grandfather of his with a curios look.
To be true, Ezio was not depressed by the behavior of his mother. With the memories of his previous life, it was very difficult to accept the concept of a second mother. He loved his mother from earth, she was the best mother he could wish for and nobody could replace her place in his heart. That his mother was not like a normal mother had also his good points, Ezio was not a normal child after all. If a man with a mind of an adult would be treated like a little child all day, alone this would make him go crazy after some time. So this "mother" of his was a blessing in disguise.
„My name is Blackflame Ruben and I'm your grandfather. Sorry my child for the past years, I thought with you and some experience of the real world your mother would change, but…"
There was a long sigh from his grandfather. After that he explained his grandson what a celestial dragon was and how noble the household was. He told him several times that as the only heir of this household, he had to become a respectable man unlike this spoiled mother of his. Ezio did not say a single word and watched his grandfather with intelligent eyes unlike the boys of the same age.
„Grandfather, can you do something for me?"
This was the first sentence from his grandson and this made Ruben happy. He questioned himself if his little grandson was capable to speak his language, with this mother by his side, everything was possible.
„Tell me boy, this grandfathers of yours will search the whole world for the things my grandson wants"
„No wonder mom is so spoiled"
Ruben was speechless. This four years old kid did not talk like a little boy at all.
„I want a devil fruit. A very powerful devil fruit!"
Ruben frowned. A devil fruit?
„Why do you want a devil fruit, boy?"
„I want to become strong. Strong enough to defend myself"
Blackflame Ruben laughed.
„Why do you want to become strong, boy? Who dares to enter this holy land? We are a noble family. Things like fighting are the tasks for our servants. We don't want to dirty our hands with such dirty things like fighting"
Ezio looked at his grandfather like he was an idiot.
„Grandfather… Why are the celestial dragons on top of this world? Because they are so noble? Don't make me laugh. We are on top of this world because we are the strongest. In the end rules are dead and people are alive. Only the strong can rule this world"
Ruben watched his grandson and thought he was possessed by a devil. How could a four years old brat talk like that? Was this little boy a genius?
„You think that I don't talk like a little boy, old man? Well, it's because of the good education you gave your daughter. I had to mature early, without this I don't think I could survive with such a lovely mother"
Ruben realized that the words from this little boy sounded plausible. Maybe the failure of his daughter gave birth to a little genius. Maybe all the brain cells that failed to arrive in the head of his daughter landed instead in the brain of this little guy.
„Alright, this grandfather of yours will find you the most powerful devil fruit. Do you have another wish?"
„I want someone who will train me in martial arts. Someone really powerful!"
„Alright, I will find someone for you. I will show you were you live from now on. The servants will bring you to your room. We will talk tomorrow!"
