45 A flawless plan (1/2)

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?
