One Piece and the Celestial Dragon - Chapter 45 A flawless plan

Sabaody Archipelago. Groove 13.

Ezio, Hancock, Nojiko, Hatchan and Bonney were walking towards a bar. All people besides Hancock looked rather down and demotivated. Hancock hold Ezio’s arm and had a silly smile on her face. Ezio wasn’t used to this new character, but he had other problems at the moment.

„Damn, my head hurts”

„What happened yesterday at the end? I have a hangover”

„We shouldn’t drink so much the next time…”

„Wasn’t this all Bonney’s fault? How did she find us?”

They entered the bar and saw the owner: Shakky.

„Hatchan, long time no see! I was truly surprised when I found out that you joined a…”

Then Shakky looked at Ezio and frowned a little bit. Even for her it was strange to talk to a Celestial Dragon.

„Ah, old woman, don’t frown. Just call me Ezio. By the way, I want a glass of water”

„I want a bottle of water, please”

„I want a barrel of water…”

„A beer for this lady”

Everyone looked at Bonney. This damn girl drank so much yesterday and now she wanted to continue. What was wrong with the body of this girl?

„Well guys, it’s time for work. I planed everything, so there won’t be any problems. This boss of yours is reliable even if he had a night full of drinking”

Then a new group entered the bar. Who could they be? Of course, it was the Straw Hats crew. It wasn’t the entire Straw Hats crew, only Luffy, Nami, Robin, Chopper, Brook, Kami and Pappag were present.

Before Ezio could talk, he saw Nami who was running towards Nojiko.

„Sister! What the hell are you doing here?”

After they celebrated their reunion, Nojiko told her that she joined Ezio. Instead of a welcoming greeting, Ezio received a fist from Nami, but the fist didn’t hit him because he used the power of his logia fruit.

„Well, young lady, do you know the consequences of hitting me? There are more than one”

Ezio didn’t lie, because the girl who was holding Ezio’s arm transformed and had a fox tail on her back.

„You dare to hit my hubby? Are you tired of living?”

Hancocks shy face turned into a fearsome one. Nami looked shocked but Ezio hold Hancock back. In a second, her face turned red and she hold his arm again. If you looked at her face, you could tell that she had some strange fantasies in her head at this moment, but Ezio ignored it.

„Nami, your temper is too bad. I didn’t force your sister to join me, she did it out of her own will”

Ezio said this sentence with a proud expression. He was really proud, the rest of his team weren’t really on Sky Island out of their own will…

Their conversation was stopped because Robin pointed at Ezio with a terrified expression.

„H-He… H-He is Blackflame Ezio! He is the Celestial Dragon that is famous all over the world. People call him ‚Celestial Devil’. He is the heir of one of the most powerful families in the world!”

After the other Straw Hats heard that, they were all shocked, especially Nami who wanted to hit this guy. All of them took one or two steps back, ready to fight this guy who was called a ‚Celestial Devil’ by the world.

„Celestial Devil? Really?”, Ezio looked confused to his group. „Shouldn’t I have a more heroic nickname? Like ‚Celestial Hero’ or ‚Defender of Justice’?”

Hachi looked at Ezio with a frown.

„You played the hero on Paradise Island, boss. But you overdid it with burning the whole island down…”

Nojiko nodded.

„You did the same with Sky Island… It’s hard to call you a hero, and I didn’t saw what you did on Paradise Island… You like to burn things too much, boss. This doesn’t fit a hero. I think ‘Celestial Devil’ describes you really good”

Ezio sighed. What was so bad about burning some islands or clouds?

Then he looked over to the Straw Hats and grinned.

„Hey, rookies. Don’t be afraid, this is a family reunion. But before that”, he looked and Nico Robin and smiled. „Robin, why don’t you join me?”

Robin had a strange expression on her face. But this expression told him that she didn’t really want to change her crew.

„That’s too sad. Then I will come to the main topic”

Ezio pointed at Luffy.

„Luffy, I’m your cousin. Your mother is my aunt. Ah, and our old man told me that I should remind you – your true name is Blackflame D. Luffy”

All the Straw Hats dropped to the ground. What the hell? Luffy was the cousin of the Celestial Devil? Didn’t that mean his mother was a Celestial Dragon, too? The crew members of the Straw Hats nearly fainted. His grandfather was a hero of the Marine, his father was the most wanted criminal of this world and a Revolutionary. Now, out of nowhere, this famous guy appeared in front of them and he was a Celestial Dragon. And this guy was Luffy’s cousin!

Even Luffy looked a little bit confused.

„You are my cousin? What’s a cousin?”

Ezio sighed. First he thought the curse of the Blackflame family only showed on the female members, like his mom. Now he knew that the problem of this curse was way bigger… Even Luffy was possessed by it!

„Boy, your mother is my aunt. You know what a mother is, right? The sister of your mother is my mother…”

„Ah, so that’s a cousin! So we are family? But why is my name Blackflame D. Luffy? I’m called Monkey D. Luffy…”

„Forget that part, I told you that because of our grandfather”

„You know my grandfather?”

„I’m not talking about Garp, I’m talking about your other grandfather. The father of your mother, you rubber head!”

Ezio really had a headache. Then he whispered something to Luffy that the others should not hear.

„Luffy, if someday you meet your mother… Be careful. Everything could happen. It’s better if you run… Be warned, the women of the Blackflame Family… they are all crazy!”

Luffy nodded his head but his confusion was still on his face. All the Straw Hats other than Luffy couldn’t handle all these surprising events. Robin was so shocked, she couldn’t open her mouth for a long time.

„Now that Luffy knows about his family, I have to prepare my flawless plan…”

…

Meanwhile on some other part of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Saint Charlos, a World Noble, was terrorizing the people and decided to take a new wife on the streets. After the fiance of this new wife wanted to protest, he shot him down.

Right at this moment, Zoro arrived and walked in front of Saint Carlos. The World Noble was offended because this guy didn’t kneel in front of him, so he pointed with his gun at this stupid swordsman.

Before he could pull the trigger, the swordsman cut the World Noble in two pieces.

Saint Charlos, a Celestial Dragon, died under an attack of a pirate.

The whole Sabaody Archipelago was sent into chaos after this incident.

…

Back to the bar on Groove 13.

Ezio’s servant ran into the bar and looked at his master.

„Young Lord, a pirate killed Saint Charlos on the streets!”

Ezio looked at his servant with a shocked expression. Then his gaze wandered to another person in the room. This person was Jewelry Bonney.

„Fuck! Bonney, this is all your fault!”

Bonney looked stupefied to her boss. What was her fault?

„I forgot about this shit! The whole plan is screwed! Damn you, Zoro. You stupid prick! My flawless plan, all destroyed… Damn it, we shouldn’t drink so much when we have an important mission on the next day!”
