## Capital Punishment

It was a seemingly quiet noon in a small town called Sable’s mere. Until loud bell noises could be heard, it rang across the whole island. Making all of its residents curious, and get out of their establishments.

The look of curiosity suddenly changed to shock as they got to the Towns Center. The seemingly silent town turned into a muttering and mumbling crowd. As an Execution is about to start.

“let me go you jerk!” said by a tied-up girl with a cover on her head, that is being brought to the execution stage.

“I said let go, dammit!” she screamed. Her head was then uncovered, revealing the large crowd that the bell amassed. The girl was quickly put in a state of shame. As her appearance could be called Unordinary by others. To avert her eyes from the crowd, she inspected her surrounding.

As she looks around, the girl saw four people that were also tied up, with the one beside her standing out . A man standing at 3 meters tall is standing beside her. Unlike the other despondent that have their face exposed, the executioners left his uncovered. This Man’s mere appearance got the crowd’s attention.

A midget then walked to the scaffold, holding a scroll in his tiny hands. With an arrogant look, he walks to the center of the stage and opened the scrolls in his hands. Reading the lines…

“Ehem…In order to maintain peace and order in this town, an execution will be held today here at the Town Center. By decree of the Sheriff Cutlass Bucket, duly appointed of the Town’s mayor. By law, the following criminals are to be executed.

He then states the sorrowful names “Starting from your Right a farmer named Murty was seen stealing 3 chickens and a jug of beer and is here thee executed”

The farmer was then put in the executioner’s block by the huge headsman. “It was just chickens, and the jug was already empty by the time I got it! I swear” the farmer said with tears in his eyes and body shaking.

With one swing from the headsman, the farmer’s head was cleanly cut off. The severed head rolls across the stage landing onto the Girl’s foreground. The crowd was shock, some even screamed. The crowd’s mumbling got even louder. And the girl was shaking in fear of what she just witnessed. The girl just saw how quickly someone’s life could end, and how quick hers will to.

“Silence!” Shouts the midget “Next one is Rugetti accused of homicide…”.

While the Midget goes and announces the crimes and the execution of the despondent. The girl is thinking of ways to escape her impending doom.

“*I have just a minute or so to think and escape. What to do?! Confessing wouldn’t do anything. Wait I don’t even know why I was caught! Is it because of my eye? -“?*

“Next is a girl dubbed by many as a Cyclops, by decree of the Sheriff beast and such should be slain with no exception even if it's an infant, thus the girl must be executed”

“*Wait! Why did they skip the tall guy ?!”.* The girl thought.

She was then carried to the executioner’s block. The girl tried to resist but to no avail, she fails. “It’s so unfair! You’re executing me because of my looks?!” The girl cries. The crowd averts their eyes as the headsman raises his blade.

“YAWN!~ \*” the tall man vocalizes. He then utters. “So noisy who’s kid is that?”

All were put in a state of silence cause of the man’s action.

“*Don’t tell me...”* the girl ideates.

The man then asks “Eh…Where am I?..”

“*HE WAS ASLEEP THIS WHOLE TIME?! ”* She screamed in her head. The midget and also the town’s people were surprised by the man’s behavior.

“Uh..Uhm… This...Tall creature is accused of assault, by beating the town’s guard and T-Trespassing to our town without proper transport, its name is Jean T. And is here thee executed by decree of our sheriff.” The midget announced stuttering. “*Did the tranquilizer not work?! He’s supposed to be Asleep for a day or so!!”.*

“Executed...huh…” Jean ponders.

“eek!” the Midget squeaks to the Jean’s reply

“Today isn’t my day for that...” Jean said as he breaks the ropes and uncovers his face.

“HE BROKE THE ROPES?!” they screamed.

“*This is bad…*Headsman! Cut him!” The midget orders, as the headsman rushed towards Jean ready to swing his blade.

Jean dodges the headsman’s attacks and looks at the little girl placed on the executioner’s block.

“*A girl*?” he ponders as he counters the headsman’s swing with a 45-degree kick knocking him out in one blow.

“Oi, you guys…Are you honestly trying to execute a young girl?” he asks as his voice starts to growl.

The midget and town resident shivered in fear, as Jean looks at them in disgust.

“I don’t know the context but…killing a kid is a horrible scene wouldn’t you say,” Jean states as huge black wings sprouted from his back.

Jean sweeps out of the scaffold grabbing the girl as he flew to the sky.

He left the town’s people both in awe and fear of what they have just witnessed.

### The Dive

“Huge body and black wings you are... A MONSTER?!? PUT ME DOWN I’M NOT TASTY I SWEAR!!" the girl cries struggling

“You’re Mistaken! Quit struggling you’re throwing my balance off!” Jean shouts.

“Then what are you!?” she continues to cry.

“I’m a devil fruit user! Now quit moving or I’ll drop you!”

“what’s that?! You’re supposed to be a devil?!” The girl panics even more.

“Wrong! That’s even worse than a monster.” Jean sighs…

“It’s what you call someone cursed to be the incarnations of the sea devil. Supposedly, if you eat one, you will gain devil powers... but you’ll never be able to swim agai- “As Jean was about to finish his sentence, his eyes start to close.

“Ahge?” the girl asked.

“swim…zZZ” Jean snores as he loses consciousness.

“eh? EEHHHHH!?! NII-SAN WAKE UP!?!?” she screams as they fall into the forest.

Meanwhile in the town center…

The town center was filled with mutters and mumbles of its residents.

“A devil fruit user?”

“Does anyone know about that guy?”

“A foreigner?”

“Does the girl have devil fruit powers too?”

“Silence all of you!” the Midget shouts. But none of the residents seems to have heard his voice. *“This is bad if the Sheriff finds out about this, I’m dead meat.”*

“Rattle\* Rattle\*”

A rattling could be heard in tune with someone’s steps.

“*Oh no! He’s already here”* the midget screams in his head.

The town residents suddenly rush into their establishments as the rattling noise becomes louder and louder.

“Rattle\*- Oi Hekthor!” a young man wearing a huge hat shouted.

“Eek! w-what is it…Sheriff?” He squeaks.

“What’s the meaning of this? It’s so…Gauche.” said the Sheriff.

“Nothing- “Before Hekthor could further explain the Sheriff cuts his sentence off with…

“-NOTHING?! Have you mistaken me for fool Hekthor? The Headsman is down! the execution stage is a wreck! and you look like a mess! So, tell me… what happened...”

“Gulp\*…Y-yes sire” said Hekthor.

The Sheriff Smirks.

“Heh…Elegant enough.”
