31 The heir of the Blackflame House

Ezio was hit by Sid and was lying on the ground.

He stood slowly up and attacked Sid with his scythe, but every time he hit this giant a clone would separate from him and would take all the damage from Sid.

Ezio had to admit that the clone clone fruit wasn't bad. It had a lot of potential. Without his devil fruit power, Ezio would have problems defeating this guy.

Not only were all the powers of Sid's clones combined in one body, everyone of his cloneswas stronger because they got more abilities from Lily. Ezio knew that he had to make a big move or he wouldn't be able to take his opponent down.

Ezio took a deep breath and parts of his body turned into black fire.

„Blackflame Style - Amaterasu Dragon"

After Ezio said that, a massive flame shot out of his hand. This flame transformed into a black dragon. It flew into the direction of Sid and wanted to kill him.

Sid's giant body was big and so it wasn't easy for him to evade this huge dragon. He cloned his body into several thousand little copy's of himself. All the little Sid's ran into different directions. Because of this, it was easy to evade Ezio's black dragon. Only a small number of his clones got hit by the huge dragon.

After the fire extinguished, the little clones formed back into one body. It wasn't as big as it was before the attack, but Sid was still a giant.

„This flame is truly dangerous. Without the power of my devil fruit I would have many problems. I think you met the wrong opponent this time", said Sid in an arrogant voice, but Ezio could see that this guy was truly scared. His clones were part of his body. He could feel when they died and he could feel how they died. It wasn't something that felt good. This black fire burned even his soul, every time a clone would die, he felt like a part of his soul would burn away forever.

Sid produced a clone. This clone didn't look like himself. It was a woman that wore a dress that was completely made out of ropes.

The women attacked him and out of her hands came several robes that wanted to catch Ezio.

„This fruit is really interesting", said Ezio while he evaded the attacks of the woman. „When you fuse your clones into one body, you can't use the abilities of other devil fruits because you use the power of the clone clone fruit. But if you make a clone of a dead corpse and don't fuse it with your body, the clone can still use his devil fruit power like this girl. This fruit is really good"

For the first time Ezio used one of his advantages, his abnormal speed. He appeared behind the woman and hit her with his burning scythe. It didn't take long for the woman to burn till nothing of her remained.

„It is the biggest mistake to fight against me with quantity", said Ezio and smiled at his opponent.

Ezio wasn't the only one who was holding back. The biggest advantage of Sid's giant body was his physical capabilities. He vanished and appeared in front of Ezio and smashed him into the ground.

Ezio had to admit, in terms of physical strength, be it speed, strength or defense, he was indeed a little bit weaker than this giant.

Sid didn't stop after his first attack. He threw Ezio into the sky and kicked him with all his might. After Ezio rolled several meters over the ground, his hole body was full of blood.

Ezio lay on his back and looked into the sky.

„Sid, don't you think it's getting dark a little too early today?"

Sid was confused for a moment.

„I don't think it's time for night to arrive", after Ezio said that, he stood slowly up.

Sid had a bad feeling and looked up to the sky. What he saw shocked him.

„Do you remember the little fire ball I threw into the sky at the beginning of our fight?", Ezio smiled after he saw the shocked face of his opponent. „My flame can burn anything in this world. This little fire ball started to burn the clouds high up in the air, and now this little flame set the hole sky on fire"

Ezio's words were true. After Sid looked up to the sky, he saw that the heavens was burning. This flame was so big, it looked like the world would end today.

Then Ezio looked to his side. A long distance away stood a woman with a special transporter snail in her hand. This girl was Tsuru and she had the same expression as Sid. After she saw that Ezio looked at her, she knew what he wanted to do.

Ezio looked directly to the transporter snail and began his speech.

„You, as an ally of the World Government, misused your powers and the trust we gave you. You killed innocent citizens, made them your clones, and destroyed an whole island that was once a lively place full of children and hopes"

Ezio's expression became angry and his voice dignified.

„You've sinned and brought this world into chaos. I, Celestial Dragon of the Holy Land and heir of the noble Blackflame House, descended from the Redline to hunt sinners like you. This era is an era that isn't peaceful. Pirates, revolutionary, and cruel criminals are causing destruction and chaos everywhere. My name is Blackflame Ezio, and I came down to this world to hunt everyone down who is a sinner like you. I want that my people can live in peace and without fear. Today I will kill you, but all you people that are a threat to the peace of every kingdom in this world, be warned. I will find you, and I will burn your souls for eternity. As long as I am alive, this island should burn. It is a reminder to everyone of you who oppose me and the peace of my people. Paradise Island will never be called a paradise again, it will turn into a burning hell"

Then he pointed with his burning scythe at Sid.

„Blackflame Style - Devil's Judgement"

After Ezio said that the burning fire in the sky shot down to the ground. It was such a huge fire that nearly the whole island was hit by this never ending fire. Sid couldn't even evade this attack, because the fire was everywhere and it attacked the island like black lightning. It even engulfed Ezio. The only two who were not effected by the black fire were Tsuru and Hancock who stood a distance away. But both of them were shocked. This black fire burned everything down.

After this scene Hancock and Tsuru escaped to the ship. When they arrived at the ship, they saw the whole crew looking at Paradise Island with terror.

The whole island was burning. The whole island was engulfed in a sea of black fire. Nothing could survive.
