One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 237

East Blue, Loguetown, the weather today seems incredibly gloomy. The whole island is filled with an oppressive atmosphere. At this moment, the square in Loguetown is crowded!

People are standing quietly in their places, looking up at the execution platform in front, waiting for their host. A group of Marines steps forward, dividing the crowd and creating a passage.

Several Marine officers, accompanied by a team of soldiers, walk to the foot of the execution platform.

“Boom!” A thunderous sound reverberates in the sky above Loguetown, making the people even more sad.

“Clank.”

“Clank.” The sound of chains dragging on the ground slowly begins. Today’s protagonist, the Pirate King, approaches with a smile.

Facing impending execution, he shows no signs of fear; instead, he exudes a heroic spirit that leaves people amazed.

It’s as if he is not facing execution but a grand celebration. Under the escort of the Marines, Roger slowly makes his way through the crowd, step by step, until he reaches the execution platform’s peak.

The entire square falls into silence as Roger steps onto the platform. Everyone below looks up, observing the Pirate King, Roger, who maintains a calm and confident smile even in the face of death.

An invisible shock continually surfaces in their hearts. A beam of sunlight pierces through the clouds and shines upon Roger. Roger slightly raises his head to enjoy the warmth of this sunbeam, his smile becoming even more radiant.

With a heavy heart, the Marine Admiral, Sengoku, ascends the execution platform and begins announcing the crimes of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, to the world.

After a while…

“Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, due to the many crimes he has committed, the government’s final judgment is public execution in Loguetown in the East Blue.”
After reading the judgment, Sengoku descends from the execution platform.

The executioners slowly raise their cleavers and prepare to execute Roger.ust as the blades are about to descend, a voice shatters the square’s tranquillity.
“Roger! Where did you hide your treasure?”

In this final moment, someone asks the question that had been in the minds of many.
Upon hearing this question, Roger’s mouth curls into an excited smile. Under Sengoku’s astonished expression, Roger happily provides his answer.
“Hehehe, you want my treasure, huh? Go find it. I’ve hidden all my treasure there!”

“Splurt!” The sound of blades piercing flesh resonates, and crimson blood sprays, covering the entire execution platform.

Spattered with blood, the executioners watch in horror as the Pirate King, Roger, who once smiled so confidently, breathes his last. After hearing Roger’s response, everyone in the square is silent. Then, a thunderous cheer erupts a few seconds later, echoing through the skies above Loguetown.

Reporters in the audience feverishly write down all the events of this final scene. In their eyes, madness and excitement glitter. Soon after, Roger’s last declaration, made in the blink of an eye, spreads worldwide.

Driven by passion, countless people rush into the sea’s embrace, leaving behind their families, committing arson, murder, and looting, causing all sorts of mayhem. Simultaneously, numerous rising stars begin making their names on the high seas.
However, Loguetown, after Roger’s death, descends into madness.

Everyone at the scene rushes toward the sea, trying to be the first to reach Raftel and obtain the treasure of the Pirate King, Roger.

In a dim corner of Loguetown, a young man with red hair and a straw hat, accompanied by a man with a red nose, sheds tears, mourning the loss.

“Waaah, Captain Roger!”

“Captain Roger, he died just like that, waaah!” They continually wipe their tears but cannot seem to wipe them away.

After some time, the two finally composed themselves silently and looked at each other. “Buggy! I’m going to start my own pirate crew. Come on, join me in creating our pirate crew and embarking on our adventures!”

Shanks looks at Buggy with the utmost sincerity, extending an invitation. However, Buggy, who has never quite liked Shanks since they were children, flatly refuses his offer.

“You bastard, Shanks, stop blabbering by yourself. There’s no way I’ll join you! I’ll start my own pirate crew and embark on my own adventure!” After speaking, Buggy disappears without a second glance, leaving the alley.

Shanks watches Buggy’s departure in silence, not saying a word. After some time, Shanks turns around with unwavering determination and heads in the opposite direction.

“Buggy, I wish you a smooth journey. We’ll meet again someday!” Rain starts falling unnoticed, washing over all of Loguetown. On top of a rooftop of a certain building, Lox gazes upward, feeling the cold rain on his face. Behind him, Rouge sobs quietly in the corner.

“A new era is coming, Rouge. Roger used his last moments to usher in a brand new era. He was a great man.”Upon hearing Lox’s words, Rouge’s tears rose even more intensely.

In Loguetown’s square, Moria excitedly watches Roger on the execution platform, laughing heartily. A man with golden hawk-like eyes gazes calmly at all that unfolds.
Doflamingo, dressed in a wine-red suit and wearing a flamingo feather coat, grins widely, stretching his arms and uttering philosophical proclamations.

Crocodile stands silently in a corner, the smoke from his cigar filling the air. Behind him stands a bald, burly man resembling a bodyguard. In a shadowy corner, a man shrouded in a cloak, with a determined look in his eyes, vanishes into the wind.

Sengoku stands beneath the execution platform with a grim expression, watching the chaos unfold. His anger gradually rises. Finally, anger breaks through Sengoku’s rationality. He clenches his fist and slams it hard into the ground.

His immense power sends earth and rocks flying, creating a huge crater beneath his fist. “Damn you, Roger! Even in death, you’ve stirred up such chaos! You’re truly reckless! Sengoku, consumed by rage, appears like a beast ready to strike.

A violent aura continually radiates from his body, sweeping through the entire square “Hehehehe, Sengoku, didn’t expect you’d want to make an example out of us, but it seems you’ve blundered. That’s quite unexpected!”

Moria, who is laughing heartily, approaches Sengoku with taunting laughter. Sengoku, caught in anger, can no longer contain himself. “Moria! You bastard, are you provoking me?”

“Buzz!” A golden aura ripples like waves, and a colossal Buddha materializes before Moria. Seeing the massive Buddha before him, Moria grins with a profound smile.

“Hehehehe, Sengoku, couldn’t take the humiliation, huh!”

“Enough talk; if you have something to say, save it for my judgment in Impel Down!” The giant Buddha, surrounded by a golden halo, descends upon Moria below.

“Hehehehe! Don’t underestimate me, Shadow Magician!”

“If you want to capture me, you’ll have to see if you’re up to the task!”

“Boom!” An intense battle unfolds on the execution platform of Loguetown in front of Pirate King Roger.
