4 Hellish place

As I followed McSheriff for ten minutes or so, we finally arrived as it seemed. And well, this is his mansion, most probably. It has three floors and is fenced. Nearby there are other mansions, but nothing compares to it. Made of all marble and, therefore, almost blinding white. I see some gold elements as well. It's a nice house.

"Please come in" said the Sheriff. He doesn't seem that evil now.

"Uhm, sure."

There's a hall with giant stairs and a chandelier, and paintings of some woman everywhere. She seems nice. And what can I say, it's way too bright for my gamers' eyes. From the stairs, runs down a little girl to embrace her father, as it seems. They hug a bit, and I just stand there. His face becomes serious as he says:

"Mary, go to your room for a bit. Daddy has something to do. "

"Hi, are you also a marine, like daddy?" the little girl asks me.

I was never good with children. They are a bit much for me. Before I could say anything, the sheriff said:

"Please just go to your room now."

She seemed sulky. Still goes upstairs. Nice kid.

"Give me some time. I will prepare everything. Just let my daughter be." McSherrif says as he takes out... a snail?

*brrrr* *brrrr*

"Yes, boss?"

That's freaky. Is this a monster? But what can a snail do? So, apparently, speak. It has a face also. Not the weirdest thing I saw being a hero. A girl? Eyelashes and everything.

"Alice, please arrange for my surrender as a criminal."

A silent moment passes.

"Understood. Thank you for your work."

Snails closed their eyes.

"King, was it? I will collect the documentation. Feel free to look around yourself. "

Is he turning himself in. Ehm sure. I just want to know where I am.

This place looks old. Like super old. No electricity even. Can't be. No way. No TV? Is this hell?

Every room I look into looks rich, but nothing is modern. Nothing. Every grandma has a phone now. Why did he use a monster for that?

I came across a fairly big room with a map on the wall. It looks absolutely nothing like the one from Earth.

Did I isekai?

Red line? Grand line? This map is just lazy. On the table next to it, I can see a more detailed one of the West Blue. Am I here right now? Ballywood Kingdom? It's a stupid name; just use letters.

This is insane. I notice the half-opened drawer with posters. Dead or alive???

Is this a world full of pirates? No way. I want to go home. Those people on the posters don't look human. His head is weird. This one is just a photo of an eagle. Totally crazy. What am I going to do here? How do I go back?

Maybe I can go to a place where they have technology and ask someone like Metal Knight to help me? Maybe I'll ask the sheriff. I don't know. Do they have magic?

I'll go ask him right now.

As I walk to him, I see him closing a giant case full of documents. He turns to me.

"You are right on time. Let's go."

"Wait a second. Do you know anything about electricity, TV, games, or magic per chance?"

"Ehm, I heard Vegapunk, the genius scietist, is centuries ahead. Maybe he has that. Magic? Like tricks?"

So I have to talk to that Vegapunk. Maybe he will make a portal or something.

But wait. They've got no games here.

...

Hell's desolation, the nether's barren wastelands. An absolute joke of a civilization. I have to get to Vegapunk fella as fast as possible.

I just have to endure a few weeks. Right?

"And where is he?"

"Who knows? He works for the government. I heard he works with some Marines in Grand Line." dude's face was really confused.

The Marines are like the police in this world. Got it. I think I read a manga like this a long time ago. So I just go to the Marines, ask to talk with Vegapunk, and go home to chill. That's the plan!

Later, we arrived at the town square, as he called it. There were a lot of people waiting for something as we just stood on the wooden platform in the middle. The sun is getting really low now. Sunset is right behind me.

People were speaking among themselves. Endless chatter. Some scary people were watching from dark alleyways, creepy. Why not listen to a crowd for a while? it might help.

"I heard his name is King, so cool" said a child to another.

"Man, I'm telling you he moved his finger and the bar was blown to pieces!" A giant, very unproportional man shouted to a man to his left.

Not this thing again. Wait!

"I heard his spit heals cancer!" "He killed forty pirates by blinking in their general direction!"

"No, he is not from the WhiteBeard pirates, he is clearly from a secret government program!"

"You are dumb! He is a cyborg!" "Germa 66 cloned shanks!" "He has a devil fruit!"

"He looked at me! I'm now immune to all damage!" WHO SAID THAT?

What nonsense is this???

"SILENCE!" I heard a woman's voice shout very loudly.

A woman with snails voice came to the platform from the stais behind me.

Like 5/10. Alice from Shining Archmage Demon is way prettier, but still quite good for 3D. Her body is a bit weird, but I'm not the one to judge people from another world. Short blonde hair and a white uniform with "Marine".

She looked at me for a split second before turning to the town folk.

"This man exposed the terrible and despicable boss of mine, Captain McSheriff! He even brought a case full of evidence. Bribes all over!"

McSheriff kneeled on the platform with a sad smile. Doesn't he have a kid? That's kind of sad. People were shouting and cursing him.

Maybe I should step in.
