Epilogue

Ezio watched to the transponder snail with a cold expression.

"I've heard that there is a war in several days. I will now announce to the whole world that I will take part in that war and take care of you, Joker! Everyone who will stand in my way in this war will be burned down by my black flame. I will take your head, Spiderman!"

The whole world who saw that couldn't help but take a deep breath. Even the Emperors had to be careful about this Celestial Devil. His power was no joke. But something confused them. Who was Spiderman?

"This is the last time I send a warning out to the world. I killed this guy named Sid, and everyone has seen my heroic act on Paradise Island. You didn't take my warning serious, so you have to live with the consequences. Dressrosa is under the protection of the Blackflame Family from now on. Everyone who harms a single citizen will be hunted down to the end of the world. That was all I wanted to say. I see you at the war!"

Everyone who watched this scratched their heads. Heroic act? He destroyed the whole island!

In some corner of the New World, a blonde girl was watching with interest. She smiled after she heard his speech.

"The war, huh?", Lilly laughed. "There we can start to set this world on fire, until only you and me remain!"

Ezio would never appear in the war if he knew that this crazy finance of his would appear there, too.

Ezio looked towards King Riku who bowed towards him.

"Thank you. I don't know how I can repay you for all the things you've done for my kingdom."

"Oh, I don't know if you would say the same things after I asked you something…"

Ezio was a little bit embarrassed. He looked at the King and began to talk.

"Well, you know. I have an organization, and I need two new members."

"Who?"

„Your daughter and granddaughter?"

„No! I don't give them to you!"

Ezio sighed.

„Why do I have to kidnap everyone? I'm a man with a huge vision. Usually, people should follow me on their own accord, right?"

…...

The Five Elders frowned. The brat from the Blackflame Family did it again.

„We have to stop this bastard! He is doing what he wants in this world. Doflamigo is an important figure to the balance of this world. We can't allow that brat to kill him", said the Elder who had no hair and a sword.

All the other Elder sighed.

„He knew that he did something he shouldn't do this time", another Elder said. „But he isn't an impulsive brat who does what he wants. He knew that he had to compensate us. It is shown in the letter he wrote to us."

Another Elder nodded.

„I'm not happy that this little brat is taking all those things in his own hands, but his deal is too good to decline. He is smart, indeed. And like we discussed last time, it is good that the people start to recognize that the Celestial Dragons are strong themselves. But this brat is too strong, even if he is on our side."

„But is he on our side?", another Elder questioned.

„I'm sure he is, but we should watch him carefully. All of you now how the Blackflame Family is. They love to fight and improve their strength. The good thing is that they don't have interest in politics. They are like a bunch of animals that likes to fight and eat, nothing more."

The one who said that was surprisingly the brother of Blackflame Ruben. Everyone of the five Elders had to cut all ties with their own family after they acquired their position. So he wasn't disturbed to talk in this way about his own family.

„You shouldn't underestimate them. Even if they are like you described, each generation had brought a new pair of fighters. When it comes to strength, then this family is on the peak of this world. The problem is…"

He stopped for a moment and looked towards the other Elders.

„This generation, they are on a whole new level. It's not only Ruben's grandson, there is also the girl from the other branch. Nobody thought that she would lose against Ruben's kid, but somehow he managed to take her down. Then there is the mother of this kid Ezio. We don't even know how strong she is. The other branch is also hiding a lot of monsters. Can we control them?"

The other started to laugh.

„You know that we are also hiding all our cards. Do you fear that the Blackflame's start a revolt? They were always loyal. If this kid truly manages to uphold the deal, then we have to watch over him a little bit more. It would solve a lot of our problems if he achieved what he has written in his letter."

The five Elders all looked towards the letter that arrived only a couple of minutes ago. Their mouth couldn't help but twitch every time they would read it.

...

Ezio's letter:

Hey, uncles!

I never met you back at home, but I thought I should write you. You are my uncles, right? We in Mari Geoise are all family, after all.

I wanted to apologize to you. I know this nephew of yours made a a little bit too much chaos in the world. I only wanted to tell you that I work hard so that you have an easier job. I will get rid of all of the guys who causes you trouble. Isn't that good?

I know that you don't like the thing with Doflamingo, but I had to take action. This guy was once one of us, but then he betrayed us and became a pirate! I, as a Celestial Dragon, couldn't accept this injustice, so I had to do something against this disgrace.

I know that this will bring you a lot of trouble. So I do something for you. You will let me do what I want for a short period of time, and I will bring you the head of an infamous pirate.

I will kill an Emperor of the Four Seas.

Do we have a deal?

Greet my old man for me, uncles.

Have a nice day!

.....

„Such a naughty brat. I want to catch him and give him a good beating!", one of the Elders said.

„I know how you feel. We will play along with him for now. If he truly kills an Emperor, it will only benefit us. And if he dies in the process, we have one less sorrow. So let him do what he wants, but this is the last time we are so generous with him. To tell you the truth, Doflamingo was always a thorn in our eyes. So both situations will be good for us."

All five Elders nodded at each other.

What they didn't expect was that the new generation of the Blackflame Family was even more crazy than any other generation before.

But that was a tale for the future.

Now was time for a war.
