Last time on Chapter 28...

Tashigi stopped using her binoculars and looked at the marine with disbelief all over her face " 150 million!? That's impossible! At his first bounty he gets 150 million?! He must be strong! " Tashigi shouts.

" Well, umm… He's actually the one, who's about to get killed right now. " As soon as the marine said it, Smoker, Tashigi, and the two marines looked at Luffy, who suddenly looked at Smoker, and smirked. It didn't go unnoticed by Smoker, Tashigi and the two marines.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"WHY THE HELL IS HE ON THE EXECUTION STAND!?" Luffy's Nakama yelled in surprise. Nami just bowed her head with a sweatdrop on her face.


A legend passed down into the far, far future… A story that began a long, long time ago… "FOR THE CRIME OF ANGERING ME, I SENTENCE YOU, MONKEY D. LUFFY, TO A FLASHY EXECUTION!" Buggy yells as all of his Nakama began shooting randomly "LET'S CAUSE A FLASHY RUCKUS, BOYS!"

"YAHOO!" Buggy's Nakama shouts, not caring who they will shoot.

"JUST STAND RIGHT THERE AND WATCH!" Buggy yells as Luffy wasn't a bit scared of the current situation. "YOU'RE FLASHY EXECUTION,-" Buggy raises and opens his arms " -SHALL NOW BE CARRIED OUT FOR THE WHOLE PUBLIC TO SEE!"

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"Why're you in such a rush for!?" Usopp yells as he runs with Nami " Shouldn't we be trying to save Luffy back there? "

Nami turns to Usopp "What use would we be back there!?" Nami yells back, Usopp points himself using his thumb.

"We could back them up! I'll have you know that I took down a fishman officer all by myself!" Usopp says proudly.

"Well, we've got something more important to worry about." Nami says as she frowns.

"More important?" Usopp asks, he doesn't know anything that's more important than their Captain.

"The air pressure and the temperature's been dropping for the past while now. Not only that, I saw cumulus clouds heading from the east. That's a sure sign of a storm!" Nami pauses "With that ruckus going on in the town square, the marines are sure to come out. What would we do if our ship happened to wash away when we needed to run away?"

Usopp gulps. "HOLY CRAP, YOU'RE RIGHT! THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT!" Usopp runs faster and leaves Nami behind.

"H-hey! Wait for me!" Nami yells as she speeds up.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"Riding on my Richie bike~

Who's that, you say?

It's me!"

Mohji stops singing as Richie stops walking "So this is that Strawhat's ship. It's much better than one he had last time." Mohji pauses "He should be getting his flashy execution from Captain Buggy right about now." Mohji says while Richie 'grr'-s in agreement. "Heh heh. But in the one in a million chance that he escapes, his ship will be burned down! By us, that is!"

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"I see, a quarrel among pirates." Smoker says as he puffs out smoke.

"S-shall we give the order to fire?" A marine asks as Smoker looks at Luffy, he knows Luffy for a long time, so he knows that Luffy is already thinking.

"No need to rush things…" Smoker says as a marine steps closer.

"But if we don't hurry, they'll…!" The marine says as Smoker gives him a 'refuse-with-me-and-you-die' look.

"Have I ever let pirates escape from this town-" Smoker pauses as he puffs out smoke "EVEN ONCE?"

"N-no sir!" The marine says as he steps back at least 10 steps as he has sweats visibly seen on his face.

"Then just be quiet. Let the pirates kill each other. It'll just mean less work for us." Smoker crosses his arms "Only after Strawhat gets out from that execution stand, will we round up Buggy, Alvida, and their pirate crews."

"Umm…." A marine says as Smoker looks at him. "Why do you say that Strawhat Luffy will be able to get out from that execution stand, if his head will soon be rolling out?" The marine asks as Smoker clicks his tongue.

"Strawhat Luffy isn't given a 150 million beli bounty for nothing." Smoker says as he puffs out smoke. 'And this kind of situation won't work against him.'

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"Any last words? Might as well make the most out of this large crowd." Buggy says as he grips his sword tightly. Luffy stays quiet as he kept thinking, "Well, whatever. Whether you have any last words or not, it ain't like anybody will care for what you have to s-"

"I'M THE MAN… WHO'LL BECOME THE PIRATE KING!" Luffy yells as it echoed throughout the island, making sure that everyone will hear his will. The people started talking to each other.

"Wha…!?"

"The Pirate King…?"

"Saying that in this town out of all places…"

"How outrageous…"

"Is that all you have to say… you damn Strawhat!?" Buggy yells as he grins and was ready to cut Luffy's head off, until Zoro and Sanji came.

"WAIT!" Both Sanji and Zoro shouted as they looked at Luffy with a panicked face.

"So you've come, Zoro? But it seems you're too late…!" Buggy shouts as he raises the sword.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"What is it?" Smoker asks as a marine comes running towards him.

"It's Roronoa Zoro!" The marine yells as he points down in the town square. Tashigi tightly grips her Shigure while Smoker wasn't a bit surprised or angry, which surprised all of them.

"We've received reports, that he's a member of the Strawhat Pirates!" A marine says as sweats were visibly seen in his face.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"In any case, we've got to bring that execution stand down!" Zoro yells 'Luffy could've got down there! What is he doing!? He's stronger than this!'

"I know!" Sanji yells as he bites his cigarette, but not hard enough to cut it in half.

"Take care of them, boys!" Alvida yells as she places her right hand to her hips while she points toward Sanji and Zoro.

"As you command, Lady Alvida!" The pirates yells as they rushed towards Zoro and Sanji.

"MOVE IT!" Zoro yells as he slices pirates continuously 'Damn it! If the pirates weren't blocking my way, I could use Rankyaku! If I could use Geppo right now, I could've saved Luffy a long time ago!'

"Gyahahaha! JUST WATCH CAREFULLY FROM THERE! WITNESS THE LAST MOMENTS OF YOUR CAPTAIN!" Buggy yells as he readies to take off Luffy's head. Luffy wasn't showing expressions, he still has a blank face on.

"BASTARD!" Sanji shouts as he takes down a pirate who was trying to get him from the back. 'If I can just kick that execution stand…! ' Sanji started to have sweats on his face " COME DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME, COWARD!"

Zoro grits his teeth in his sword 'If I could just cut down that execution stand…!' Zoro positions himself to perform Rankyaku when all of the sudden, another wave of pirates come to him. "DAMN IT!"

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"Have all units prepare for battle." Smoker says as he puffs out smoke while the marines saluted and gave a 'yessir!' to Smoker.

"Zoro! Sanji! Usopp! Nami!" Luffy shouts 'Jimbei, everyone…' "Sorry, but it looks like I'm dead." Luffy says as he grins.

"Wha…!" Zoro couldn't even finish his sentence as another wave of pirates came.

'DON'T SAY THAT, YOU IDIOT!" Sanji shouts as he let go of the cigarette.

'He smiled.' Smoker thought as he looks at Luffy's face. Luffy was grinning. For the first time in many years, Luffy grinned. Smoker couldn't help but slightly grin as it was a long time since he saw Luffy's grin.

Like it wasn't a coincidence, lightning came down towards the execution stand at an unbelievable speed. After it fell down, Buggy was seen roasted while Luffy was standing, without a scratch. "Shishishishishi, looks like I did survive! How lucky~" Luffy says as he takes his strawhat that was on the ground and places it on his head.

"Hey… Do you believe in God?" Sanji says as he turns to Zoro, who gave him an unimpressed look.

"Enough talking and let's leave this town already. We've got more trouble heading our way." Zoro says as Luffy and the two of them turned to leave the town.

"SURROUND THE TOWN SQUARE! CORNER ALL THE PIRATES!" A marine yells as they were cornering all the pirates that were seen in sight.

"They're here!" A pirate shouts as some pirates did the same.

"Run for it!"

"Which way!?"

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

"Captain! Shouldn't we-" A marine was cut off as Smoker puffs out smoke.

"Hey… Have you ever seen a pirate who smiled at his execution stand?" Smoker asks as he crosses his arms.

"S-smile!? I'm sure even the most wicked pirate would turn pale and cower at the moment of his death." The marine responds as Smoker looks at him side-ways.

"But that's exactly what Mugiwara did… He smiled…" Smoker says as he puffs out smoke and remembers Luffy's grin "He smiled the same way that the Pirate King did, 22 years ago in that very same spot." Smoker says as he slightly smiles.
