One Piece and the Celestial Dragon - Chapter 33 Epiloguev

The World Government had a special transporter snail. This snail was only given to the highest authority of the Marine and to the highest ranking members of the Celestial Dragons.

The heir of the Blackflame House got his hands on one of these transporter snails and used it to shock the whole world.

This transporter snail was capable to record image and sound and send it to all screens on every island of this world. The Four Seas, the Grand Line, even the New World – every island that had a connection with the World Government would receive the picture this transporter snail would send.

This was a huge weapon the World Government used to manipulate the opinion of the world. The World Government wouldn’t use this transporter snail often. In the manga it was used to send some pictures of the war between Whitebeard and the Marine, but even at such a time it wouldn’t send the pictures to every island of this world.

Blackflame Ezio, the heir and successor of the noble Blackflame House, used this transporter snail to show his fight with one of the seven Shichibukai’s. Every detail of the fight was send to every island of this world. It showed how the Shichibukai revealed his power, how he killed the whole island and made clones out of the corpses, and it showed how the noble Celestial Dragon and his team defeated them and burned the whole island down. Even the speech of Blackflame Ezio was sent to the world.

The world thought that the Shichibukai, his three royal guardians and the girl named Amanda D. Lily died at this day.

The world saw the power of the black flame and how it burned Paradise Island. Everyone in the world knew that Paradise Island would burn for eternity to warn everyone who misused their power to threaten the peace of this world.

At this day the whole world talked about the Celestial Dragon who descended from the Redline to fight against the criminals. A Celestial Dragon who fought for peace in this chaotic world with his own hands.

At this day a new hero was born in the eyes of the public. At the same time the public started to fear this new hero. They feared him because of his monstrous power and for this inhumane act of burning a whole island down in several minutes.

This was a day where a hero and a devil was born. A hero for the weak who needs protection, and a devil for every person that would become an enemy of this guy.

…

On the Moby Dick lived Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. After Roger’s death people called him the strongest man alive.

At this time Whitebeard drank out of a huge bottle and by his side was his 1st division commander, Marco „the Phoenix”.

„Father, what do you think about this celestial brat? I don’t understand the World Government. Are they now killing their own people?”

Whitebeard had a frown on his face. This was a rare thing for this man because he saw many things in his life and there weren’t many things that could surprise him.

„I don’t think this brat acted on the orders of the World Government”, said Whitebeard and drank out of his bottle. „I think this little brat is acting on his own thoughts. This is truly a new experience for me. The World Government never showed their hidden cards, we pirates are only fighting against the Marine or Cipher Pol. Most pirates think that this is all the World Government had to fight against us pirates, but I think they hide most of their strength in Mary Geoise. With the show of this little guy… I think he tried to change the opinion the people all over the world had about the Celestial Dragons. And this is a bad thing for us…”

Marco began to laugh.

„What can the World Government do against us? If they send Celestial Dragons to us, we will just kill them”

„Don’t be too arrogant, Marco. Maybe people call me the strongest man alive, but nobody knows what these Celestial Dragons are hiding. It is not easy to control the whole world with just the power of the Marines, they have many more hidden cards. And now there is this wild card named Blackflame Ezio, and I think even the World Government can’t control this little brat. A black flame that burns everything… The heir of the Blackflame House… Don’t underestimate this little brat. How old is he? I think even Roger wasn’t as terrifying as this little brat when he was so young…”

Whitebeard sighed.

„The world is changing, but what direction it will take… Nobody can know”

…

On a hidden island in this world was the headquarter of the Revolutionary Army. At this moment Monkey D. Dragon, the most wanted criminal in the world, watched the scene that happened on Paradise Island with Sabo, the chief of staff.

„What the hell are these Celestial Dragons thinking?”, asked Sabo confused and looked at Dragon. But then he saw that Dragon showed a shocked expression. Usually this guy was always calm and confident but this time, his expression was strange.

„Blackflame…”, whispered Dragon with a frown. „Damn it, another Blackflame? And the heir of the family? And now this little guy is running wild in this world… And this devil fruit… Ah, this family is only trouble…”

Sabo looked at Dragon with a questioning gaze.

„What are you looking at, Sabo?”, asked Dragon angry.

„What should we do with this Celestial Dragon? Isn’t this a good chance to get rid of him? This guy is really strong at his age…”

„Oh, no! You can get rid of every Celestial Dragon, just stay away from everyone with the Blackflame name… If you see one, then run away. These guys are all lunatics, let them just be… Crazy, they are all crazy…”

Sabo could see that Dragon had some hidden past with this Blackflame House. It looked like he was heartbroken… Like he was betrayed by his first love or something…

Sabo never saw his confident leader in such a way.

…

Garp and Sengoku watched the fight of the celestial brat from the beginning till the end. They looked like two little teenager who saw something funny.

Then both of them laughed.

„Hahaha! A Celestial Dragon killed a Shichibukai! I never thought I would see that in my life! This is truly too good… Tell me, Garp. I’m not dreaming, right?”

Garp hit him with a fist and smiled.

„Did you feel the pain? Yes? Then I think you are awake and this is all reality. This is too funny. All we wanted to do was to beat these Shichibukai’s up since this new system was formed. Thanks to the World Government, we had to ally with pirates and they could do whatever they want… But now this brat came from the Holy Land and the first thing he did was killing one of these annoying bastards! Hahahaha!”

„Garp, we have to support this little guy! But we also have to be careful. Who knows what this little brat is thinking? Maybe he will kill some of our forces if he thinks they are sinner’s. Isn’t he playing the hero? We have to send Kizaru if we want to be on good terms with this brat. This guy is really a special existence. We Marines can’t do anything to him, but I hope he will beat up many pirates in the future”

„Sengoku, with this show, isn’t he showing that we marines aren’t capable of protecting the people? I mean, this celestial brat said that he had to personally come down from the Holy Land… And he burned the whole island down! This little guy is evil. Didn’t he say to the whole world that we Marines are incompetent? Aren’t we the defender of justice?”

„Oh, come on, Garp. Do you still want to play the hero? Maybe we wanted to be hero’s after we first entered the Marine. After all those years and all these things we’ve done you still want to play the justice card? How many islands did we burn down in all those years? This is a special situation and I’m curious to see which decisions this little brat will make when he enters the New World”

…

The Five Elders of the World Government sat on a table with a frown on their face. This situation was something special even for these five guys.

The first man who began to talk had a scar on the left side of his face. He had gray dreadlocks and a walking cane in his hands.

„How could the old man of the Blackflame House give this special snail to a little brat? What is he thinking? Now this little brat caused such a scene…”

The next man who talked had a bald head and a long white mustache.

„He even killed a Shichibukai, one of our allies. What is this little brat thinking?”

The next man who talked had blonde hair.

„I don’t think this situation is bad for us. I think it’s really interesting. You all know that the seven Shichibukai’s are misusing the protection we have given them. All of them don’t show the World Government respect and do whatever they want. If we need them in a fight, we can’t rely on them because they could betray us. Now the situation changed… A Celestial Dragon personally went to the world, showed the whole world the mistakes of the Shichibukai and killed him in a spectacular way. This will show the other six that they can’t play with us. All Shichibukai’s have to think twice if they want to misuse their power. Maybe their territory would be the next one to burn for eternity… I think the new heir of the Blackflame House is a little genius, but he should talk with us before he plans such a huge scene”

A bald man with glasses looked skeptical. He hold a samurai sword in his hands.

„Maybe you are right, but I think this brat is taking too many responsibilities that are meant to be handled by us. Can we trust this little brat after this huge incident? He is the first one after so many years who inherited the power of the Blackflame House – the black fire! This is a huge responsibility. He shouldn’t act like a little child playing the hero… he should be one of our hidden cards”

Now all four looked at the last man. They were all curious what this guy would say. He was a tall and thin bearded man with long white hair.

He was a member of the Blackflame House. He was the brother of Blackflame D. Ruben.

„I think you guys are overreacting. This is the first time I saw this nephew of mine in action and I have to say, I’m really satisfied. After I heard from my brother that his grandson past the secret trial of our family and inherited our most precious treasure, I was really shocked. This is no small matter and my brother had the habit to spoil his children too much, you all saw that when you met his two daughters”

The other four nodded their head.

„But this nephew of mine is different. He is very smart, you could see that by the way he handled this whole situation. You don’t have to be suspicious about this little brat. Don’t forget that he is a Celestial Dragon – he stands as a god above this world. He would do everything in his power to protect this position, you can see that with the first glance”

The tall old man with long white hair smiled.

„You all know the chaos that was created by Gol D. Roger. This is an era full of pirates who oppose our rule. It is the first time in all these years that so many people are against the Celestial Dragons, so his actions are really smart. We showed the world our two forces, one in the light and one in the dark. The Marines and Cipher Pol. The people know of the power of these organizations, but they forgot about the strength of the Celestial Dragons. It is the fault of these arrogant and incompetent descendants of our families. They aren’t capable of doing anything, they are weak, arrogant and conceited. Maybe you guys don’t care, but the public opinion of us is truly bad, and that is because of these incapable world nobles that do nothing good to us”

The other four elders frowned but they couldn’t deny this. The thin and tall man continued.

„I think this little brat also saw this. I don’t think he is a hero, a hero wouldn’t burn an island down like he did. I think all this show was to change the public opinion. He wanted to show the world that a Celestial Dragon came down from the Holy Land and will protect every kingdom. He will change the opinion of the world about us. And not only that – at the same time, the world will start to fear the power of the Celestial Dragon, because this little brat and his black fire is truly strong. So he will say to the world that the Celestial Dragons are strong and the people should fear us too, not only the Marines. And he shows the world that the World Government is fighting for the peace of our kingdoms, so he can repair the damage all those incapable descendants have caused over all these years”

„So what do you think should we do with this brat?”, asked the bald man with the samurai sword.

„Let him run wild. Let him do whatever he wants. I can’t wait to see what this brat will do in the New World. Just think about it… A Celestial Dragon who kills one of the Four Emperors with his own hands? That would be in our favor”

The other four elders thought for a long time.

„I agree, for the moment, this brat can do whatever he wants. But only as long as his action are beneficial towards us”

„I will also agree. It is good to show the world that there are some capable Celestial Dragons”

„I have nothing to say. Let this brat do what he wants”

The last one was the bald man with the samurai sword.

„What can I say at this point? You all have decided so let that brat do whatever he wants. I hope we will not regret this decision… Ah, but we have to talk with Blackflame Ruben. To give this special transporter snail to a brat… This old man is killing me!”

…

Holy Land. The house of the Blackflame family.

The old man was eating popcorn and watched a fight on a screen that was in front of him. This was the fight between Blackflame Ezio and Sarazar Sid. At this moment Ezio was beaten up by Sid.

„Damn you, I’m gonna’ kill you! He is hitting my grandson? This old man is furious! I’m personally going to the Grand Line to kill this guy…Oh, wait!”

At this moment the old man saw Ezio’s attack, the Amaterasu Dragon.

„Haha, this is a very good attack! A black fire dragon! That attack is so cool. This is the power of my little darling grandson. Kill this bastard, little fox! This old man is cheering for you!”

Then the old fox saw that Sid evaded the attack and started to beat up Ezio again.

„Oh no! My little grandson is injured. There is blood on his clothes! NO! This old man is going to the Grand Line… The precious blood of my little grandson… Oh, wait”

The scene changed at this moment. The whole sky was burning with fire and after that, the whole island started burning. The last picture was of Paradise Island, burning completely down…

The jaw of the old man dropped to the ground.

„T-This… How…”

There was a moment of silence.

„I did say to him that when he departs from an island he had to make his departure big… But… Isn’t this a little too big, little fox? You… You burned down the whole island! Even for this old man, this is a little bit too big… You…”

A servant with a nervous expression walked towards the old man.

„Lord, in front of the house are nearly all noble families of the Holy Land. They are angry and want to talk to you about the things the young lord did… Even the esteemed Five Elders want so see you…”

Now the old man was furious.

„What? They want to scold me because of my little grandson? I’m gonna’ beat them all up! Scolding this genius grandson of my family? Let me see what they have to say… Didn’t he only burn down one island? Yes, maybe I shouldn’t give him the transporter snail… But who dares to scold my grandson in front of this old man!”
