Second Piece

I was reading MastaRasta's 'New One Piece, and it reminded me of my own story I made to represent 'One Piece' part two. For many reasons (most of them negative comments) I will not tell you the story's name. But at any rate, I have made a remix of said story. How you like it? I don't own One Piece.

Prolog

The crowd was getting anxious. "Why are the marines taking so long," a woman asked. "Who knows," a man next to her said. Soon, doors behind the platform opened and four men walked out.

The first one was a… judge I guess you could say. The last two were holding what looked like spears with sword blades on them. The man in the between them wore a red overcoat over a red vest, blue pants that stopped at the knees… and a straw hat on his head.

Once they reached the top, the man in the straw hat kneeled down. The crowd grew eerily quiet. You could drop a crumb and it would sound loud.

The judge opened the book he was holding. "Strawhat Luffy," the judge said, "you stand accused of the fallowing crimes against the government."

He turned the pages of his book as he read the charges. "Defeat of the ex-shichibukai's Crocodile and Gecko Moria, declaring war on the World Government, the destruction of Enis Lobis, causing the breakout at the underwater prison, the assist on the attack at marine headquarters, the overthrowing of various Government enforcement, and, most obviously, THE CRIME OF BEING A PIRATE!"

The judge closed the book and gave the signal to carry out the sentence. It started to rain as the two guards lifted up their spears. They held them above their heads, restrained by some invisible force.

"Strawhat," someone in the crowd (thinking this was a pause for dramatic effect) said, "what did you do with One Piece?" Luffy looked up. Standing on a building across from him were 10 cloaked figures. Luffy knew who they were without seeing their faces. His 10 most faithful crewmates. The first 10 members of his crew.

"You want to know where One Piece is," Luffy said, smiling, "why, it's right where Gold Roger left it. Right on the island Raftel. And it's there for anyone who wants it."

Then the arms holding the guard's spears let go. And the Second Pirate King spoke no more. The wind blew strong, and Luffy's hat flew off. Reaching out a hand, one of the cloaked figures grabbed the hat in midair.

Taking off her hood, Nami put the straw hat on her head. "Well," she said, facing the others, "I guess this is goodbye."

"We all knew this would never truly last," Sanji said, "deep down inside." "Now we all go our own separate ways," Zolo said.

"May we meet again," Robin said, before they left, "in this life, or another."

What do you think? I hope you like it. The story will continue 21 years later… in the story, I mean. No flames, please. Or at least, not too many.
