One Piece and the Celestial Dragon - Chapter 32 A deal with a true devil

Amanda D. Lily was flying on a huge black bird but even she was shocked. She looked back and saw Paradise Island destroyed by black fire. This island was her home for the past year but now it was forever gone. It was an island that would burn forever, only to remind every enemy of this devil that this was the result if they wanted to oppose him.

Lily searched something in her backpack. She took out a finger and looked at it. This was the finger of a human. It took several seconds but the finger transformed into a little man. This little guy was Sid. He gave his finger to Lily because it was part of their deal. This finger was a part of his original body and he could turn it into a clone if his life was in danger.

„Sh*t!”, said the little Sid who wasn’t taller than a finger at the moment. „Who is this monster… This…”

He couldn’t talk anymore because a mark appeared on his forehead. He looked at Lily and had a depressed expression.

„Sigh… I couldn’t accomplish my part of the deal. That means…-”

„You will forever be my slave”, answered Lily. This was really good for Lily, but she couldn’t be happy at this moment. All she wanted was too flee to a place were this monster couldn’t find her. She never felt such a fear. Her whole body trembled. She wished this bird could fly faster.

First she hoped that Ezio could win against Sid. Sid promised Lily that he would get her the abilities of three persons. Of course, Lily told Sid that these three would have special power’s. Sid was arrogant because he saw only the Grand Line and thought he could capture nearly everyone at this part of the world.

There was a reason why Lily wanted full control of Sid’s power. If she wanted to trade an ability with someone, then both parties have to agree to the deal. That means that she could only get the abilities of other people if they agree. The problem was that Lily met many people who wouldn’t trade their precious things, even if it meant they would die. Proud people like the Four Emperors would never trade their abilities. With the control of the clone clone fruit, she could just kill these people, make them a clone and trade everything they have. This was the only way she could get all the abilities she wanted. The only restriction was that she had to kill the guy first before she could get everything.

……

Paradise Island was burning. Everything was engulfed in black fire. A youth jumped out of this flame, only his upper body was visible, everything down his waist was black fire.

This was the first time Ezio tested the limit of his power. You could say that he found a trick to use his power in the best possible way. Ezio couldn’t produce such an amount of black fire even after his training, but there was a difference between controlling the fire or producing it.

If Ezio had to produce a massive amount of fire out of nothing, like a normal logia user could do it, he would definitely die. Ezio used a little cheat. The little fire ball that he threw into the sky was slowly burning the clouds away. After some time this little flame became bigger and bigger. It started to burn more and more clouds until the whole sky above Paradise Island burned. All he had to do after that was to send the fire down to the island. So he produced only a little flame, waited until it grew bigger, and send it down to his enemy. If he had to produce such a massive amount of fire with his own strength, it wouldn’t be possible. If the fire was already burning and he only had to control it, then he could pull off such an attack.

But even with this little cheat, Ezio felt like a dead man. He couldn’t rest at this moment, because there was an important mission that he couldn’t neglect.

Ezio closed his eyes and used his observation haki.

„Found you”

Then he transformed into black fire and dashed into the sky.

…

Lily looked almost every second behind her. She couldn’t forget the words Hancock said to her. Her biggest fear became reality when she saw a black flame that was chasing her.

She couldn’t evade. The black flame engulfed her whole body. If you looked from the outside, it was like a little black sun was engulfing this girl. A sun that was formed by black fire.

Inside the sun was absolute darkness. Lily could hear the screams of her bird that was burned and then died. She didn’t fall into the fire that was surrounding her because a man was holding her in his arms. She couldn’t see the man who was holding her because everything was black, but she knew who the person was.

It was this monster.

„Hey, you are very quick. I wanted to make a deal with you. Didn’t you say you would wait for me? Why were you running so fast?”

„Y-You, you…”, Lily wanted to speak, but she couldn’t bring out one sentence.

„This deal will be very beneficial towards you. You will give me your loyalty for a life time. What will I give you, you ask? Well, you could say that I will let you live. Isn’t this a good deal? I think dying here would be really sad”

Lily closed her eyes. What could she do in this situation? A life as a slave or no life, she thought that there would be many people in this world who would rather die than be a slave. She didn’t has the courage to die at this point in her life. She had many things in this world she wanted to achieve.

Lily could only agree to this deal.

This was the day the user of the shop shop fruit, Amanda D. Lily, and her slave, Sarazar Sid, joined the team of the Celestial Dragon.

This was a fact that the whole world didn’t know. But the world had other things to talk about. An event that shocked the Four Seas, the Grand Line and even the New World.

This was a day for the history books.
