The days passed day by day, and with the anticipation of countless people around the world, January 1, 1498, finally arrived. That day countless people gathered in front of the image projected by the Den den mushi. The atmosphere was solemn, awaiting the arrival of the protagonist.
Impel Down
Above the sea, in front of the first floor of Impel Down, there were five battleship-class navy warships with a capacity of 800 people, lined up in a row.
Inside the first floor, all the guards were at attention, with someone standing guard with a gun every few meters. The guardian beasts and guards were constantly patrolling in groups. The entire atmosphere was so oppressive that it left one breathless.
Sixth underground level, 'Eternal Hell'.
"Roger! Roger! Tell me why you were arrested! Tell me...!"
One roar after another kept sounding. Ever since the 'Golden Lion' Shiki woke up from a coma and felt the aura of his 'old friend', he had fallen into extreme excitement, roaring and asking questions.
But no matter how he shouted or asked, there was no response from Roger. He sat silently, bowing his head, remembering and thinking, until another old friend appeared outside his cell.
"It's about time, Garp."
Roger raised his head and looked at him with sharp eyes, Garp nodded: "We are about to leave. The destination is the Navy Headquarters."
Hearing this, Roger frowned slightly, but immediately returned to his natural state.
"Where is Rouge? How is she?"
"She is fine. She now lives with Tsuru. When her child is born, she will enroll in Marineford normally and become an excellent marine." At this point, Garp paused and then continued, "It's just that he can't know who his father is."
"Really? Becoming a marine isn't bad, on the contrary, it's surprisingly kind. Whether it's the navy or the World Government," Roger smiled.
"Well, I found it very strange too, but these people did a good job this time," Garp said.
"Then I leave my son to you, Garp. Let him follow you from now on." Now Roger can only entrust his son to Garp.
Garp frowned, but after seeing the plea in Roger's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
After all, we've been rivals for half my life.
At the same time, the screams from Shiki's side continued, but the two people present did not pay attention to it until they left the 'Eternal Hell'.
The fleet escorting Roger left the Calm Belt, waited for the gates of justice to open, and then continued to follow the massive spiral current, returning to Marineford Harbor at an extremely fast speed.
Garp stood on the deck of the warship and looked towards the central plaza, what he saw was a dark crowd. A phalanx composed of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from the navy headquarters.
In front of the Fortress of Justice, a high execution platform has been prepared, and there are several visual den den mushis pointing towards it in the distance.
Everything is ready.
The warship docked at the port, Garp personally led Roger down in handcuffs and he had to walk the rest of the way alone.
Roger no longer looked at Garp, but he looked at the scorching sun in the sky, smiling widely and looking very satisfied with the weather.
[Tap, tap, tap.]
The Marine phalanx has left a wide and straight path, leading directly to the execution platform at the other end.
As a Navy Admiral, Sengoku was on the execution platform. Together with the entire navy present and thousands of people through the live broadcast, they watched Roger walk step by step.
At this moment, apart from the sound of footsteps hitting the ground, only the sound of waves breaking in the harbor and warships swaying in the sea could be heard.
Oh yes, there are also the squawks of those seagulls in the sky.
Time seemed to stretch as Roger walked. Everyone waited in silence, watching him step by step to the high execution platform, and then he sat down next to Sengoku.
"This scenery is really pretty!" Roger said with a smile, looking at the large formation of marines below him.
"However, it would be better if you let that guy, Shiki, suffer the punishment with me. This way, he could have a companion on the road to the Underworld. I think he has a lot of things to ask me."
After hearing this, Sengoku said in a deep voice: "Today's protagonist is you, 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger."
There was still half an hour before noon, so he didn't mind chatting with Roger for a bit.
"I thought about it carefully in prison these days, and I am very sure that there is no one from the World Government on that island," Roger said, looking at Sengoku.
He and his Kenbunshoku Haki sense that he has the special ability to hear the voice of all things, so, if there are spies on the island, it is absolutely impossible to escape from perceiving him.
So how does the world government know about Baterilla Island?
Sengoku naturally thought of this as well. Although he remained calm on the surface, he subconsciously began to think about it: Could the World Government still be hiding some unknown investigation method?
For a moment, they were both silent, letting time pass in silence.
At 11:55, two executioners with spears came on stage, while Sengoku had already come down from the platform early, standing below and looking at Roger like other marines, this was the only respect they could give to the 'Pirate King'.
Five minutes later, the Five Elders in the distant Holy Land of Mary Geoise, were sitting on the sofa in the Hall of Power and saw through the projection with their own eyes as two sharp spears pierced Roger's chest. Scarlet blood began to gush out and a pool of blood formed beneath him.
One Piece, Gol D. Roger, die today!
At this moment, the entire ocean seemed to be silent, and everyone was looking at Roger's body.
The next moment, people from all over the world cheered with joy. They threw their hats, newspapers and even bellys, with great enthusiasm to celebrate the death of the world's greatest pirate.
"Worororo, let's go, it's my era from now on!"
On a deserted island in the new world, Kaido, who had already formed the Beast Pirates, stood up with a bottle of wine in his hand and left the island with a big smile. He was closely followed by King, Queen, and about twenty Zoan-type fruit skill users.
Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.
"Mama-hahaha, the next Pirate King will be me, but I won't be stupid enough to disband the pirate group, let alone break into the Navy Headquarters alone!" said Charlotte Linlin, who is still thin, but He has been gradually gaining weight. She stared at her children with wide eyes and then smiled heartily at Perospero, Katakuri and other children.
"Celebrate, we must celebrate, bring the cream pie quickly!"
A few months later.
Imu naturally witnessed the end of the current generation of the 'Pirate King', it can be said that he was in a very good mood and drank two more glasses of the delicious sweet red wine from him.
With his precautions, Roger could not say those momentous words until his death. This is definitely a good thing!
"In this way, the so-called 'Great Pirate Era' should disappear, and the situation afterwards will definitely be much more stable than in the original timeline."
