## **History**

The crew stopped at a small island that was close to Miller Island. They spotted a shack in distance which made William and Verona investigate while the rest of the crew stayed behind. William knocks on the front door and it opens to revealed an Cranstin. Cranstin mistakes him for his son and William decides to play along.

Cranstin then makes his pounded fish meat and offers it William. William then tries to avoid eating by asking what was up with the Navy blockade. He was confused since he thought his son was in the Navy to which William lied about taking a leave of absence. Cranstin looked around to find the letters his son sent him to answer William's question. While that happened, William throws the food away without the old man noticing. Cranstin found the letters which revealed a lot of information.

One letter revealed that his son killed his best friend and set his house on fire, which made Verona nervous. Another letter revealed that his son ate a devil fruit. The last one he read stated his son appointed Lieutenant Hubris to Navy blockades around Miller Island. William still in the act tries to get the rest of the crew which resorted to Cranstin to be clingy. William then orders Verona to knock the old man out to which he did.

The captain then ordered Verona to gather the rest of the crew and when they arrived William explained the situation. After much deep thought and debate, William makes a difficult decision. He decided to mercy kill Cranstin. William cradled the old man in his arms, points the gun to his head and he fires. With that, Cranstin life had ended.
