Bab 253: 253. The Curse
Just before the sword touched Roger's neck, the time stopped. Alexander appeared in front of him out of nowhere and hit his head with a hammer, making him fall unconscious.
Roger saw it happening but couldn't react. Alexander instantly exchanged the body with a new fake one.
Soon the head rolled down the platform. Garp sighed in disappointment. Shanks and Buggy were crying in the crowd. Many young aspiring bad guys were among the crowd who came to see the execution of the legendary Gold Roger.
Alexander noticed Dragon as well. The boy had seemingly disappeared without a clue after joining the Marines for a year. He was stationed at Sabaody archipelago and probably saw the dark side of the world.
Alexander obviously knew what the kid was up to and he helped him secretly. How else could a young man like him start a world revolution army? Though it was still in its early phase.
He could have made people forget whatever Roger said, but he didn't. One, because it would create more trouble for the World Government, two, it was probably done by Roger because he knew something Alexander didn't.
"What did you do? Why are you smiling?" Garp asked him.
"Haha, I'm always smiling. What's so wrong with that?" Alexander shrugged and walked away.
...
Phixheim,
Roger woke up and looked around. He saw vast green fields in front of him. To his side was a river with crystal clear water. He was under a tree's shade.
He saw many weird animals grazing in the field. Some had horns on their heads and on one of them was sitting a cat with a hat on. Drinking tea from his teacup.
Roger first rubbed his eyes. But the scene remained. He suddenly heard some girl's laughs.
He looked that way and four 4 girls were playing tag. "Are they angels? Is this Heaven? B-But I was a pirate. Sure, I didn't kill many people but I stole many times. Pretty sure that should have taken me to hell."
The girls started playing hide and seek and Gina(Baby5) came to the tree to hide. There she saw Roger.
She instantly recognized the face, she had seen his picture on a bounty poster she ate back when she was alone in the jungle.
"Who are you, Mister?" She innocently asked.
"I am Gol D Roger, is this Heaven?" He asked.
Gina cutely nodded, after all, if heaven existed then this was it for her. She couldn't imagine another place being better than here. Sleep with the best Grandma, eat all you want, play with sisters and cute horses(unicorns but she sees them as horses), she had it all.
"Yes, Mister. This is heaven." She answered.
"Mister, can you help me climb?" She asked.
Roger picked her up and put her on a tree branch. "Then, are you an angel?"
Gina again nodded, after all, Alexander always called her his little angel.
Roger had tears roll down his eyes, "I don't deserve this. Not after leaving Rouge like that."
Just at that moment Alexander and Dobby appeared, they both facepalmed themselves. He first looked at Gina on the tree.
"My little angel, I told you no climbing unless you learn everything. This is dangerous." He went ahead and picked her up.
"But Grandpa, I need to hide. We're playing." She said with utmost urgency and furrowed brows.
"Oh, that's a big problem. Why don't you hide under my cloak?" He proposed.
"That is the best." She climbed down and stuck to his waist under the cloak like a Koala.
Roger came out of his sorrow and looked at Alexander. He jumped and hugged him, "I am sorry, Old man. They probably killed you too for helping me."
*BAM*
"What the hell are you cooking in that nut sized brain? This is not heaven, I am not dead. This is just where I live." Alexander explained.
"WHAT?!... how?"
"Magic... The world outside thinks you're dead and..."
*BAM*
He again received a fist to his head, "What the hell was that ending speech of yours?"
"Ah, that... I saw myself doing that in a dream so I decided to do it in real life too." He gave the reasoning, which only made Alexander facepalm again.
"So, you said 'out there'. That means we're inside somewhere. This is pretty nice, and she called you Grandpa?"
"Shhhhhh... I'm hiding." Gina quickly voiced her concern in a whisper.
~Dammit, me and my darn mouth.~ Alexander cursed himself.
"I'm not telling you anything. You will stay here for a while. You will start working on how you walk and talk in another style. You need to change everything to make a new identity. Shave that mustache too and get a new haircut. I will go out and find your wife. The Marines will likely search for her in every nook and cranny." Alexander instructed him and decided to leave.
"Wait, old man. Thank you for all that you are doing for me. I will repay you somehow. I promise." Roger firmly promised.
"Hahaha... Since when did pirates start to give?" Alexander laughed.
"I'm no longer a pirate. I'm just a man who wants to live as a good father and husband.
"Then your training starts now. Hide this Koala." Alexander picked Gina and put her on Roger's waist under his cloak. She stayed quiet like a good Koala the whole time.
"Old man, there is a cowfish Fish-Man shipwright in Water 7 by the name Tom. He made my Oro Jackson. I think they will kill him too so please save him if you can." Roger told him. Alexander nodded and looked at Gina.
"My little Koala. Show Roger the way to the castle please." Alexander told her.
"Yes Grandpa," she whispered. She told Roger to walk in a direction, whenever he would start going wrong she'd just pinch him.
...
Water 7, a beautiful city known for its shipwrights. But it was also sinking. The current group of houses were built on top of the last group from at most a couple of decades before.
The shipwrights there were allowed to make ships for anyone according to the concept that the one who used the ship is good or bad and not the creator.
However, the world government seemed adamant and wanted to remove anything related to Gol D Roger.
CP9s Spandine led the search for the shipwright. The whole island was surrounded. Tom wasn't even trying to run away, he had two students after all. Namely, Iceberg and Franky and he couldn't leave them alone.
The CP9 closed in on them and surrounded the building. Spandine entered the housing building near the dock 1, known to produce the best ships.
"It's the end, Tom. You didn't just make Roger Pirates' ship but also committed the crime of coming out of your underwater whole." Spandine said, showing just how racist people were against other species.
Alexander also apparated in at the same time, "No wonder they don't like you guys. So much racism."
Everyone turned their heads to him. Spandine was a cowardly man who only valued his life. Seeing Alexander frightened him.
"Y-you... Admiral, w-why are you here?"
"You should know, you got that CP9 chief position because I killed the last one. That position of yours is cursed." Alexander said. Spandine really believed him.
"N-no you are lying." He denied it.
Suddenly a small boat appeared over him and fell on him.
"See, I told you, you're cursed now," Alexander repeated.
"B-but... We are inside the house, how did a boat appear here?" Spandine asked.
"Don't ask me, It's the curse." Alexander shrugged and walked to Tom.
