Ezio met his old man in the evening because he wanted to tell him that he would flee from this luxurious prison in the next few days.As he entered the room, he saw his old men with his mother at the side. His mother did not change in the last years, she still looked beautiful and young. Ezio looked exactly like his mother, and that was really good luck.
„So little fox, you want to run away from your grandfather? You unfilial brat, wasn"t I a good grandfather?"
„Old man, you spoiled me too much. My character is the worst"
Both of them laughed but then they sensed the killing intent from Ezios mother Lucy. Just with a glare, the men of the Blackflame house went silent. Both of them feared this women.
„You have to show us that you have the strength to represent the Blackflame name in the world, we don"t want you to embarra.s.s our n.o.ble name"
The old man smiled and Ezio sensed the coming of disaster.
The old man pointed at his mother.
„You have to beat hear, brat!"
Ezios sweated. He had to beat his own mother? He would rather fight Whitebeard than his own mother!
„Come on, brat. Show your mother how good you are"
Ezio had to do it. His hands became black and he used his strongest armament haki. With all the power he had he attacked his beautiful mother but she did not move a bit.
When his fist hit her, the spot where his fist landed became black. Then all the power reflected and Ezio flew several meters away, his face full of blood.
„What the h.e.l.l? Mom, what is this crazy armament haki?!"
Ezio was shocked.
Then he attacked his mother with kicks, fists, he even took his scythe and attacked with all he got.
But his mother did not even move an inch! She just stood there and defended all his attacks with her monstrous haki!
„MOM? Why are you so strong? What is this armament haki? You, you, you…."
The old man laughed and even his arrogant mother had a little smirk on her face.
„Do you think this mother of yours is so arrogant and cruel only because she is my precious daughter? Hahaha…"
The old man truly liked to brag about his children. But this was the first time he bragged about his daughter in front of Ezio.
„This girl is a Blackflame, brat. Do you think she is weak? Her name ist Blackflame D. Lucy! You have to search the whole world to find someone with a stronger armament haki then this girl. Do you think I would let her run wild with my precious grandson in this dangerous world if she didn"t have this strength? Hahaha…."
Ezio was shocked. What? Why Blackflame D. Lucy? Why D? But he couldn"t think further because his mom rushed with abnormal speed in front of him.
„You lost, brat"
And then with a black fist that landed directly on his head, he lost conscious.
After he awoke, he was in a luxurious room. This room was full of treasures. It was the heilroom of the Blackflame family and Ezio was stunned how rich his family was. Even the four emperors of the sea would kill anything in their way to get the treasures in this room.
„So you woke up, little fox. Welcome to our secret room. Only the members of our family are allowed to enter this room!"
Ezios eyes were drawn to the center of this room. There was a round table with a mysterious devil fruit on top of it. This was a strange devil fruit. It looked like an apple, but it had three colors.
„So you noticed this fruit, brat. This is the biggest treasure of our family, and this is the reason why we are called the Blackflame family"
The old man grinned and took the fruit from the table. Then he gave it to Ezio.
„Eat it"
„What?", Ezio was shocked. „Isn"t this the biggest treasure of our family? Why are you giving me this?"
The old man laughed.
„Hahaha, you are right. Every Blackflame member has to guard this fruit with his own live. When this fruit is eaten, it will bring chaos to the world. But you past the secret trial of our family and met the three conditions from our ancestor. You are allowed to show this power to the world!"
„What trial? There was no trial I can remember!", answered Ezio confused.
„The first trial was the trial of devil fruits. Every young child of our family has access to the strongest devil fruits of the world. Do you think I gave you all those devil fruits because I want to spoil you? No! It was to test your willpower. Even after you got the thunder logia, which power can bring you to the top of this world, you did not eat it! When you asked me to get you a devil fruit, I was really disappointed. I thought you would eat the first I gave you and you would directly be disqualified. But I got the hands of the best fruits in the world, but none was good enough for you. Because of this mentality, you pa.s.sed the first test of our ancestor!"
Ezio realized everything. This was the reason why this old man went all out and brought him all the fruits! Ezio was lucky, he wanted to eat one of the fruits before he started his adventure. Good that he ate none till this moment!
„You know, I failed when I was young and ate a devil fruit my father gave me. Even your mother ate one. Since our first ancestor, no one could resist to eat one of the powerful devil fruits that they got in their young age. You are the first!"
Ezio was confused. He really wanted to know what the power of his old men and mother was. He knew they wouldn"t tell him, they would only show him their power if he was strong enough.
„The second test?"
„Of course, its conqueror haki!"
„Huh? But I didn"t use conqueror haki?"
„Of course you did! But you didn"t notice it. Ask that little girl, what was her name? Hanc.o.c.k! Every time you fight with her, it shows. Only the people around you feel this haki. Why do you think the other two little girls always run away when you two fight? Even Hanc.o.c.k has this haki, boy. You have to be careful. A women with this haki isn"t easy to subdue, you know"
The old man laughed at his own comment.
„So whats the third trial?"
„The third one has yet to come. You have to eat this fruit and you have to survive!"
„What? This fruit can kill me?"
The old man nodded. This time he was serious.
„This fruit is one of a kind. There is no second in this world that is like this fruit. Usually, fruits are categorized as logia, zoan, or paramecia. But this fruit is different, because it has three different abilities! One ability is like a zoan fruit, one is like a logia fruit, and the last one is like a paramecia fruit. If you master this fruit, then it is like you mastered three different devil fruits!"
Ezios eyes began to shine. What is this super broken devil fruit?
[Blackbeard, you noob. You waited for years for one logia fruit and thought it would be the strongest. But why did you not find out about this fruit? Well, I doubt you would have the ability to steal it from this crazy family.]
„Don"t be happy too early, little fox. Everything in this world has its price! First, you have to survive eating this fruit. Then you have to have the potential to unlook the power of this fruit. Our first ancestor ate this fruit and unlooked only one power in his whole life. He was the reason the people call us Blackflame, and that with only one of the three abilities. He was a genius that stood at the top of our world, but even he could not unlock the other two abilities!"
Ezio nodded with a serious face. Blackbeards fruit was overpowered, but it also had a weakness. This fruit had more power than the yami yami no mi, so there where also more risks.
„Brat, you decide. Want to risk it?"
