The man who had achieved it all, the current ruler of the seas, Gold Roger, kneeled on the execution stand above the crowd of hundreds. They all clamored and called to him, but the Vice Admiral was speaking above them. His pitch black feathers glistened through the sunbeams protruding through the clouds above. He was a harpy, and although his outer feathers were black, his inner feathers and hair were a greyish white. "For your crimes on the high seas, you have been sentenced to death Gold Roger!" His voice was deep, loud, and full of pride, yet all Roger did in response was laugh.
"King of Pirates! Where is your treasure!?" A pirate in the crowd finally called out above the crowd. With his cry, more pirates worked up the courage to ask, some demand, even a dozen threats were made to the man on death's row. This made Roger laugh even louder, and his next string of words changed this world forever.
"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered in one place. You just gotta go find it!" He lets out a gasp, as those were his last words before two executioners stabbed him through with blades. But nobody stayed to mourn, they all rushed to their ships. They were gonna go find the Pirate King's treasure, later labled as the One Piece, before anyone else. They were gonna be the next king or queen. Once news got around, the age of peace maintained for years by the world government crumbled, as the Great Pirate Era had begun.
