Cero had arrived. he checked on himself. After looking at his condition. He asked the system. "Oi! System! where the hell I am now!"

The system replied. "Host! you are now at East Blue, Loguetown."

Cero: Is that so. Why did you send me here?

System: Today, Will the end of someone and the start of a great age!

Cero: Don't tell me... Is today... the day of Gol D. Roger execution?!

System: Correct! Why don't go inside?

Cero nodded and went inside the Logue town. He wore a robe to cover himself. As he went inside he walking a moment, what he saw was a lot of people. Cero saw a white-haired boy running towards the crowd.

"He's Smoker." he thought. He turned around then saw a person cuffed walking towards the execution stand. The person lifted his head up and walks with pride. As the person arrived at the stand. He walked up for the people to see.

When he arrived at the top. Roger looked at the crowd smiling.

An executioner asked."Have you any last words?

Roger showed his cuffed hands to him and said. " Can you take this off? It's bothering me.

Executioner: I cannot do that!

Roger: Why would I run away now? Hmm. That's a little saddening...

He walked toward the stand then sits down and says. "Well. go ahead and finish it.

The two executioners stances themselves. Preparing the execution. The crowd starts making noises. A person in the crowd shouted at Roger. " Oi, Pirate King! What did you do with your treasure? It's somewhere on the Grand Line. isn't it? You have it. don't you? The greatest treasure in the world!?

An executioner shouted at him. "Bastard, hold your tongue!" but the person in the crowd didn't and continued. "Your one special treasure? ONE PIECE!" Roger who heard all of that, starts to manically laughs.

Roger: My treasure?

An executioner: All right! That's enough!

Roger: If you want it, I'll let you have it! Go look for it. I left all of it at that place!

The two executioners shouted, "Execute!!!" then impales Roger.

*silence*

The crowd awed at what Roger said. Then shouted. "WOO!!!!!" Cero just smiled at this then left the place.

A few months have passed. The entire world heard about the Pirate King's execution.

At Baterilla in South Blue.

A woman is seen crying. "Roger... you..." she a slender woman with long, wavy pink-blonde hair. She wore a pink hibiscus flower in her hair on the left side of her head and had freckles on her face that were passed on to her son. She also wore a long, short-sleeved, light blue dress that reached down to her feet and sandals. While she was crying, she stopped as she heard a door opening. Not knowing the person. She rushed to grab a knife and pointed at him.

Cero: Don't be hostile. I am here for you.

Rouge: What do you mean?

Cero: The World Government is looking for you. I will help you to hide and help you to safely deliver your child.

Rouge: How to know I am carrying a child. And who are you?!

Cero: Who I am doesn't matter to you. But your child. If you stay here. you will be killed by the World Government along with your child. Do you want that?

Rouge: N-No... then... can I trust you?

Cero: That is your choice.

Rouge: I agree to follow you. Please help me.

Cero: Sure.

Before they could leave. A person arrived and stances himself to fight.

Cero: Monkey D. Garp, I didn't expect to meet you here.

Garp: How do you know?

Cero: Of course, you're the hero of the marines. Who wouldn't recognize you?

Garp: Then why are you here?!

Cero pointed at Rouge. "Taking her away."

Garp: What?! Why are taking her?

Cero: Then Let ask you this. Why are you here?

Garp: That... um...

Cero: I'll take care of her, Garp

Garp: Huh?!

Cero: I know that Roger asked you to take care of his child.

Garp: Y-You! How did you know that?!

Cero: I have my secrets, Garp. As you reacted to my words. Then It is true. I am serious Garp. Let me take care of her.

Garp: Then you'll be wanted all over the world.

Cero: Do you think that it scares me. Rouge and her child will disappear in this world for a few years. Nobody will know where she is.

Garp: ...

Cero: If there is nothing then I'll go.

Cero then used Bankai. shocking both Garp and Rouge at his transformation. Cero went to Rouge carrying her. Then flew up the sky. Garp was at the surface, staring at Cero's flying figure thinking if it was a good idea to leave her to him.

While Cero was flying. Rouge holds on him tightly. As she holds on him they arrived at a large flying castle created by Cero using Arc of Embodiment. the castle can occupy a lot of people inside with a lot of facilities there created by him. Cero puts her down.

Rouge: This is...

Cero: This is the place where I live. Treat as if it's your home.

Rouge then entered the castle but saw no people inside, she asked Cero. "Why are they no people other than us here?"

Cero: Currently, You and I are the people here but later they will a lot be staying here.

Rouge: Is that so...

Cero guides Rouge to her room and leaves. Cero then thinks about his next plans is.

Cero: The Ohara incident will happen two years... and the raid in Mary Geoise will later 9 years from now. Then I'll wait for it. I don't want to get noticed by the Navy. I'll take of Rouge for now.
