Chapter 1:- Death of A Hero.

May 2, 2020.

A mansion in the remote forests of Albania (Eastern European country).

Lord Voldemort was not amused as he kept staring at the visitor in chains. Bellatrix Lestrange is still raving mad like a mad dog yet is under the control of her beloved yet cruel master. Tension in the big hall of the haunted mansion as the Death Eaters looked at the joyful visitor.

"Can you remove these chains? " The visitor smirked.

The metal clanking still cannot move the haunting silence. It was as if the stranger is ready to die.

"Must the visitor give any valuable excuse to melt my heart for your unholy arrival? I need to remind you fought against us as many arrogant Muggles have seen you as a saviour for many years! Everywhere I hear your profane name, I remembered Harry Potter!... Isn't it right, ... Gold Roger?"

Still smiling and laughing, Roger simply replied. "I am dying within a short time. But, what's the matter dying in peace? War has been an insane habit in my blood. Sometimes I always feel right fighting for my family and nakamas who stayed by my side. Nevertheless, I feel no regret. For I believed in Freedom and Destiny. I pity those who stood by you and lost their lives in the carnage. I never regretted being free! Wahaha!"

Bellatrix screamed in vain against the mirth of a dying man. "This madman's laughter is too much to bear! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! "

"In time, dear! In time!" Voldemort replied calmly.

One of the Death Eaters, Lucius Malfoy asked. "Mr Roger! We can't deny your role in battling us and the so-called abomination named the World Government. The Celestial Dragons even had their hands full when many ships were raided by you and pirates. You, Pirates, helped and assisted Those Mudbloods. How dare you, insolent filth? "

"What's wrong with that?" Roger smirked.

"Enough, Lucius! I may not be pleased to change my plans. " Voldemort ordered in a stern voice. He took a glass and a bottle of wine and gave them to Roger. "Any more last words?"

Roger pondered for a while, gulped his final drink and said:

"Inherited Will, The Destiny of the Age, and The Dreams of the People. As long as people continue to pursue the meaning of Freedom, these things will never cease to be!"

"The Will of D? What is it?"

"My real name is Gol D Roger. Our ancestors shook our previous world for around 900 years. Me and my nakama did the same here. We regret nothing as long as we believed in the power of dreams. No matter if we vanish, many others are worthy to inherit our undying will. Good Luck in finding the treasures to end the world! "

"Such crazy dreams! Such powerful will! ... Gol D Roger... Come here to die ... Avada Kedavra!"

Ever smiling with no regrets, Gol D Roger embraced his death.

Observing the meeting and the fatal event from afar, a tall man covered in a pink-feathered coat laughed maniacally.

May 3, 2020.

Buckingham Palace, London, England (Former Great Britain).

The ageing and wise monarch, Queen Gloria Tudor I, observed the classified document while adjusting her steel-framed glasses. She then turned her stern face towards her esteemed visitors in their white Marine uniforms. A grey-haired hair veteran and his silent protege.

Just then, The Minister of Magic Kingsley Shaclebolt and an old sorceress Minerva McGonagall enter the Queen's office, saluting and greeting the Queen and the Marines.

"Honorable Vice Admiral Garp! Have they finalised the death of Gold Roger?" Miss McGonagall asked painfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I have identified the body in the morgue! No mistake! ...It was Roger himself !"

"Nice chap Roger was! Even my grandchildren loved his exploits as bedtime stories. Even the very mention of his name is banned but the public and his followers seemed to revere him as an eternal god. Divine Right, my foot! He and You fought along with my late father in the previous war against the Dark Wizards and the Celestial Dragons... May the Good Lord bless their undying souls... Is that a tear I see?" The Queen stopped suddenly.

"My humble apologies, Your Majesty! He was not my friend yet he saw me as both a worthy rival and a brother! "

"My humble condolences, Sir!" The Queen paused for a while and resumed conversing. "Within further ado, I would like to remind the unfortunate disappearance of the Legendary Alien Scientist, Doctor Vegapunk. The Scientific Council and community is panicking as many formulae and patents could be stolen. Vegapunk saved our world with numerous beneficial inventions. These repelled the menace from One Lord Voldemort and your Celestial Dragons. "

"Tom Marvolo Riddle Junior is a petty scumbag surrounded by useless dogs who missed their Fist of Love. As well as the Celestial Dragons, I don't like him! He is just a sleeping dragon who killed numerous noble souls saving the integrity of the non-magical folk. I've seen even worse scum like him. Rocks were one tale and this is another."

"The changing tides in the weather ... Shocking Storms damaging the planet ...The Will of D! Such a crazy family you got!... How's your children, Vice Admiral Garp? " Kingsley inquired.

"My boy Dragon is hunting tyrants in Latin America and beating the hell of poor kings there! As for Luffy... Ah, My Bad! That was supposed to be a secret! Sorry! "

An awkward silence is followed by a series of facepalms. No end to Garp's goofiness.

"Well, I take my leave! Bogard, we're leaving! Hand me my crackers and... zzz!" Garp snores suddenly in front of the shocked guests.

"Oh, dear!" The Queen sighed alarmingly. Then she turned to Shacklebolt and McGonagall. "I believe the wizards will panic in the absence of Vegapunk! We don't any more maniacs to blow us up like last time."

"The Ministry Of Magic has put more additional countermeasures and precautions to deal with the Dark Lords. Newer cults dedicated to Lord Voldemort are on the rise. Even worse, we have to deal with the Cipher Pol. Those assassins will stop at nothing to please the Celestial Dragons. Most Muggles are under our protection to curb human trafficking and slavery. However, with Roger gone, we should be ready to face the worse." Minister Kingsley gave his honest analysis.

Professor McGonagall added with a ray of hope. "Hogwarts and other wizarding schools are ready to provide shelter to every wizard. The Muggles are constantly watched by our worthy spies and stop the traffickers when necessary. As good old Albus Dumbledore would say 'Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.'"!

"Such a wonderful phrase is it?" The Queen chimed in.

Garp suddenly awoke ."Sorry, I snoozed off! Oi Kingsley, Minerva! ... A few things I like to say... Beware of Cipher Pol!... Somebody warn Harry Potter !... We are out of time!... Bad storms ahead!"

May 3, 2020.

Pangaea Castle, Marie-jois (France). Seat and Headquarters of the World Government.

Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku meets the Goresei (Five Elder Stars/Elders).

"So Roger has bit the dust?"

"It is good old Tom Riddle to finish the job for us. No use deny it, sir!" Sengoku replied.

"Did not realise that Roger had a death wish? One Enemy was killed by another nightmare. Many of the best Cipher Pol agents are in human prison for doing the Celestial Dragon's bidding. Both Roger and Shacklebolt did recommendable obs of keeping both of our forces and the Death Eaters at bay. Not to mention the help given by Garp in dealing with scum. Meanwhile, the sudden shocking disappearance of Vegapunk complicated things for us! We needed him alive as we want his formulae and inventions for our benefit. Also, we need to investigate the hidden partner of Lord Voldemort as a few Celestial Dragons are killed in horrible circumstances in Albania!"

"Even though I understand, this is a Herculean task. Yet I accept this mammoth challenge. I will gather a meeting with every Marine to observe and counter the menace!... Roger may be dead .. yet there will be others who continue to his will We keep on strengthening the countermeasures and use Cipher Pol if necessary.!"

Sengoku departs the room. "Permission to depart at once !"
