49 The Blackflames (1/2)

The supernovas left Shakky's bar. Ezio send most of his crew members back to Sky Island. Other than Benson and Bonney all the others left. They didn't go because they wanted to, Ezio wanted to keep most of their power a secret. It wasn't the time to show the power of his crew, he would prepare a big event for this.

Only Luffy and Ezio stayed at Shakky's bar.

„Hey, Ezio! I want to fight with those guys, why do I have to stay here?”, asked Luffy.

Then someone punched a hole into the wall. This person was the reason why Luffy had to stay here.

And old man jumped in front of them and hold the two brats in his arms.

„Little fox, little monkey!”

„E-Ezio, who is this old man?”

„This is our grandfather…”

„Really? I thought grandpa's would greet their grandson's with a punch on the head…”

„WHO PUNCHED MY GRANDSON?”, roared the old man.

This roar was so loud that Ezio and Luffy didn't hear anything for a minute.

„Little monkey! This grandfather of yours couldn't spoil you in all these years because of that old dog. Tell me, what do you want? I bring you everything!”

Luffy looked shocked at this new grandfather. He was the complete opposite of Garp.

„I want to become the Pirate King!”

„What? Such a silly thing? Alright, I bring you to this Raftel Island. But what's so special about this place? Let's go!”

Then he took Luffy by the hand and began to walk out of the bar.

„Grandfather, I want to find it myself!”

„Ah!”, the old man nearly cried. „You are calling me grandfather? The little fox wouldn't call me grandfather that often… Little fox, learn something from little monkey”

Ezio frowned. Two grandsons were too much for this old guy. His emotions were out of control.

„Tell me, little monkey. What can I give you? There are nearly two decades without spoiling you! That old dog wasn't a good grandfather, right? I will beat him up!”

Luffy thought for a moment.

„I want meat!”

„Meat?”, asked the old fox confused. „That is everything? I can bring you all you want, my boy”

„No! I want meat! A lot of meat!”

The old man sighed.

„Oh, it's the curse… this guy is a simple one like his mother. Ah, this curse… I will love you either way, little monkey. We have the little fox to manage our family, so this old man is happy!”
