Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 252: Golden Age Of Pirates



"What is it, kid?" Alexander asked.

Roger took a leap of faith by doing this. He couldn't believe himself that he was going to tell this to a Marine. An Admiral on that.

"I... My wife is pregnant."

"Oh, congratulations," Alexander commented.

"I am going to surrender in Loguetown. They will come after everyone related to me. They already know about my wife, Portgas D. Rouge. They will kill her and if she survives she will live the rest of her life on the run. A regret I will take with me to my grave. Can you save my son? He's innocent." Roger suddenly went down on his knees. His desperation to keep his family safe was clear.

Alexander quickly held his shoulders and made him stand up, "Goddammit, boy. You are 'the' Gol D Roger, act like him."

Alexander felt bad for the man, truly bad. "Why just your son and not your wife? I'll save them both. No child should ever have to grow up without a mother."

~I will also save you at your execution secretly. However, the world must see Gol D Roger die first so that all pirates can get a lesson and stop their criminal activities.~ he thought.

Roger looked him in the eye, "Why would you do that?"

"Is your wife a pirate who likes to kill people for fun?" Alexander asked.

Roger strongly shook his head, "No, she's a normal village girl. Though she's quite strong."

"Then you have your answer. Now, let's go back. I'll take you to Loguetown. They will give me 5 Billion Berries for catching you. I'll give that money to your wife. That's gotta be enough to live a good life." He proposed.

Roger got up and lifted both his hands to get cuffed.

Alexander raised his eyebrows, "You thinking about running?"

"No," he replied.

"Then it's cool. Just follow me"

They opened the door and returned to the ship. "You are free to roam around the ship, Roger."

Roger did just that. His presence sometimes spooked the Marines on the ship, but after Alexander's explanation, they all became used to his presence. All the people on board his ship believed more in Alexander than the world government.

"Such a magnificent ship. It runs so fast without needing the air current. I didn't know the world government had things like these." Roger marveled at the ship.

"They don't. I made this ship on my own. They don't even have its designs." Alexander corrected him.

"Then you must be a really intelligent man," Roger remarked and went on to see more things.

...

Alexander stayed behind and called Kong.

"Ah, yes... King Kong, I caught Roger." He informed.

"Did you catch his wife too?" Kong asked.

"No, I didn't find her on the island. I don't think Roger would be foolish enough to leave her there." Alexander answered.

"It's alright, bring him to Loguetown and put him in Seastone cell. The reward for catching him will be given to you soon." Kong said that much and hung up

Kong looked at the five Elders in front of him. He had come to Mary Geois for a monthly meeting with them.

"Admiral Universe has done the job magnificently. Now we must eliminate Roger as soon as possible." An Elder said.

"But don't you want to interrogate him?" Kong asked.

"No, he already knows too much, death is the only judgment for him no matter what he says." The same elder answered.

"Then what if he said something to Admiral Universe?" Kong questioned.

"He won't, no Pirate would ever trust a Marine. Especially those in high positions. You can proceed as ordered. You may leave now."

No one in the room knew that Roger had seen Alexander slapping a world noble and respected him for that. Once Kong left the room the elders talked among themselves.

"We caught another Ohara scholar's ship yesterday. They are getting too much interested in history it seems." One of the elders stated.

"Let's tell CP9 to keep an eye on all the Oharans coming out of there. If even the slightest clue of them breaking the law is found. They shall be destroyed and erased." Another elder suggested.

They all agreed and called Spandine, the new chief of CP9, an organization that was top secret because they had the authority to kill any citizen for not following orders of World Government or working against its interests.

...

Loguetown.

They got down the Marine's only dock and transported Roger to the prison. Garp was temporarily selected as the Loguetown governor. The World Government's reasoning was that Garp had fought Roger many times and should have no friendly relations with him. They were so wrong.

"Haha, Vice Admiral Garp, the hero of marines, congratulations on your promotion." Roger taunted. Garp didn't like the addition to his name because he knew he didn't do it alone.

"I told you, you would get caught someday. Now, look at you." Garp taunted back.

"Every journey has an end, Garp. I consider myself lucky for knowing where mine ends." Roger responded, looking out of the window at the execution platform at a distance.

"When is it going to be?" He asked.

"In a week. But it has been publicized that it'll happen in 3 days to lure out any supporters of yours." Garp revealed.

"Hah, such underhanded tactics. What else can you expect from the world government? Just leave me in peace now." He said and sat down on the floor in his cell.

...

Just 4 days later, Shiki attacked Loguetown and got beaten bloody by Alexander. He came without knowing that an Admiral was there. The world government was happy with getting Shiki. The man was very influential amongst Pirates.

Now because of Shiki's stunt, everyone understood that attacking Loguetown would be suicide so they all stopped. Alexander was also satisfied by catching Shiki because unlike Roger, Shiki was a man who liked pillaging and killing. He was a true Pirate.

...

The day of execution.

Garp came to Roger's cell to take him to the execution platform.

"Garp, will you do something for me?" Roger asked.

"Shut up and just come along," Garp grunted.

"Garp, I have a wife and son that will be born soon. They are innocent. Please promise me you'll take care of them."

Garp came up to him and held his collar, "Goddammit Roger. Why are you asking me?"

"Because you are a marine. A true marine. I know you will do it. They won't cause trouble, I have asked someone else to make a disguise for them." Roger added.

"It must be Old man, you didn't spare him either did you. He already had enough on his plate. The world government is looking for ways to kill him already and you want to give them more reasons."

Roger's eyes became wide open from this revelation, "What? Why would they want to kill a strong Marine like that?"

"Because he's a loose cannon. He has already killed a Celestial Dragon before. He's only alive because the world government doesn't have enough manpower to take him down. He is a true Marine. Not me," Garp told him.

Garp had found out about everything after he became Vice-Admiral. He had a long chat with Sengoku. After that, respect for Alexander only increased in their minds. Garp there decided to not take a promotion and work as a good guy while Sengoku decided he wants to become Fleet Admiral and change the system. Something he would later realize was not possible.

Roger didn't say anything else and just followed Garp. He was made to walk through the crowd that was booing at him.

He honestly felt like booing back at them for being so stupid to not realize how the world government was using them. How they lived in a false sense of security.

He walked up the platform and looked back. He saw the hidden faces of his crew members, they were crying. Especially Shanks and Buggy.

"Any last words you want to say?" The executor asked.

He sat down and looked back at the huge crowd.

"HEY, WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE?" A man from the crowd asked.

Alexander saw Roger smirk, ~Goddammit, Roger. Don't do it.~

Roger opened his mouth to speak, "You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you'll just have to find it! I left everything this world has to offer there!..."

The sword fell on his neck and his lifeless head rolled down the long high stairs of the execution platform. His words and execution marked the start of the Golden age of pirates.
