Loguetown's harbor had a triangular archway with "Loguetown" written on it.
Various shops lined the streets around it. Each had a porch out front, and the streets were packed with people.
The square in front of the town hall was where Loguetown's crowds were densest.
It was also where the execution platform for the Pirate King, Roger, had been set up.
Although the execution had yet to begin, Roger had not appeared, and the heat was sweltering, people had arrived at the square early just to catch a close-up glimpse of the Pirate King. The square was packed so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.
Many young people were mixed into the crowd.
Among them was Garp's son, the future supreme commander of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon.
There was also the Sand Crocodile, Crocodile, who was currently being invited to become a Shichibukai.
In addition, the Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, and Hawk Eyes Mihawk were also present.
Shanks and Buggy mingled with the crowd, waiting for Roger to appear.
To watch the Pirate King's execution, the prices of food and lodging in Loguetown had risen more than fivefold. Even so, demand still far exceeded supply.
"Here they come."
"Look!"
"The Pirate King, Roger!"
Finally, someone in the crowd cried out. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the execution squad escorting Roger appeared.
On both sides of the road, Marine soldiers stood ready, maintaining order.
Roger walked forward with a smile on his face. Although his hands were shackled, he walked like a victorious general returning home.
"Captain!" When Buggy saw the heavy shackles on Roger, tears began streaming uncontrollably down his face. To avoid exposing himself, he had no choice but to cover his mouth and keep as quiet
