Capítulo 54: (Vol 2) CHAPTER - 5 { The Pirate that made an Era }
Loguetown
It is a city on the Polestar Island in East Blue, covering nearly the entire island it is on, save for a few steep hills.
Almost all East Blue ships, especially pirate ships, pass through to stock up on supplies for the Grand Line, since Loguetown is in a convenient location very close to Reverse Mountain, just out of sight of the Red Line.
Loguetown is situated just north of the Calm Belt and east by north-east of Reverse Mountain's entrance.
Therefore, many East Blue pirates stop there to gather supplies, before entering the Grand Line.
In the middle of the town, the crowd was almost insane as the Great Pirate, crowned The Pirate King.
Gol D. Roger!
Is going to be executed today in front of the whole world by the World Government.
Under the blazing heat of the sun, Roger with his long hair and mustache stepped up on the stairs.
One thing to notice was that the man had that grin on his face which could be described as stunning.
How? Because he is being executed, yet he smiled with his thoughts of no regret.
Inherited Will,
The destiny of Age,
The Dreams of its people.
Every step the man took, made everyone present had their hearts beat faster.
Fear, Excitement, Pride, Happiness, Sorrow, Gratitude, Respect, Relief…
All these emotions could be seen on the faces of different people.
At the top, the two executors were facing the most pressure because of this world shaking event.
Sweats flowed from their forehead, they even gulped their saliva multiple times.
As long as people continue to pursue the meaning of Freedom,
These things will never cease!
Going up, Roger reached the top of the platform as he faced the two executors.
"Have you any last words?, " Asked the executor on the left to the man with an expressionless face.
Slowly turning, Roger looked at the executor. Surprise was visible on the executor' face seeing the man smile.
"Can you take this off? It's chafing me, " Said Roger as he extended his hands that were cuffed with a wooden board.
"I cannot do that!, " Replied the executor as he took his eyes from the man and clenched his right fist.
"Why would I run away?, " Said Roger while he smiled towards the executor bitterly.
"Hmm. That's a little saddening…, " Said Roger in a dejected tone as he walked behind the two executors.
Turning, the man sat down with his legs crossed and looked at the crowd.
"Well, go ahead and finish it, " Voiced Roger as he closed his eyes and accepted his end.
The executors swung their pole weapons with a short double side blade and crossed it in front of the man.
The Great Pirate is going to be expected now, that was what the world thought but…
"Hey! Pirate King!".
A shout was heard from the crowd. Roger opened his eyes and looked towards the exact person.
A man with brown hair, a little bit of muscle and only a blue jacket with many pockets.
With his hands around his mouth, the shout came from the person.
"What did you do with your treasure?
It's somewhere on the Grand Line, isn't it?
You have it, don't you?
The greatest treasure in the world!, " Asked the man as he shouted from the crowd.
"Insolent! Hold your tongue!, " Shouted back, the same executor as he glared at the man with frustration.
"Your one special treasure!, " Yet, the man didn't care about the executor as he continued to ask.
"One Piece!".
"He he he he he, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, " Laughed Roger with his low voice but as if magic it was heard by everyone.
"My treasure?, " Said Roger with his mighty voice while the two executors got a little confused on what to do.
"All right! That's enough!, " Said the other executor while both of them held their weapons tightly.
"If you want it, I'll let you have it!, " Said Roger unaffected by the two executors beside him.
"Go look for it!
I left all of it at that place!, " Said Roger with a smile and his eyes full of fire.
"EXECUTE!, " Said the executor as he and the other one pulled the blades and aimed at Roger.
*Stab*
The two blades stabbed at Roger's chest piercing through it and coming out from behind.
The whole execution place and the whole world that saw Roger being executed was quiet.
All of them had their mouths wide opened, their eyes staring at the figure of dead Roger.
But with one cheer, the entire crowd started rejoicing with excitement and happiness.
The executor saw this and was shocked. Turning his head back to Roger, his eyes widened in disbelief.
A smile, Roger died with a smile.
He was the one, his words were the one.
That started a catastrophe for the Navy, Marine and the World Government…
THE GREAT PIRATE ERA!
* * *
Impel Down,
Level-6, inside a cell. A man sat on the cold floor with his defeated mood.
"Hey!, " A guard came to the cell and called the sitting man.
"Roger is dead, he was executed by the World Government in Loguetown, " Informed the guard after which he walked away from the cell.
"R-Roger was executed!, " Stuttering, the man was infuriated by this news.
"The World Government did it?, " The man was a little affected because he was once a rival with Roger.
He was a Great Pirate with Roger and Whitebeard!
He was known as the Flying Pirate!
He is Shiki the Golden Lion!
"I will take revenge for you, Roger!, " Said Shiki as his eyes fixed with determination.
"Once I am free! I will destroy the World Government!".
