Arabella pov
The two weeks that I had left living ticked by quickly. As of right now, I'm awaiting for Hannyabal to come & pick me up so that we can go to Marineford. The rats that scurry inside my cell have become my friends. I named them 'Rosalina', 'Ami', 'Kyōsuke' & 'Godfrey'.

"Well...."I whispered."I'm sorry you guys, but I gotta go soon. It was nice talking to you while I was still alive."

Rosalina simply squeaked, while the other three were too busy cleaning themselves. I sighed, and looked up when I heard my cell door open up. Hannyabal walked in, and took my cuffs off from the wall, then cuffed me to another pair of sea stone cuffs so that I wouldn't escape.

"Come on, crazy Doll. You have somewhere to be."

When I stood up, I almost collapsed. After being in the same position for so long, I didn't realize how dead my legs really were. But, I pushed on, and limped out of my cell.

"WOOOOH! THERE'S THE LITTKE HOTTIE!"
"HEY DOLL FACE! KICK THAT WARDENS ASS & GET OVER HERE WILL YA?!"
"MY VIRGINITY IS HAPPY TO BE TAKEN BY YOU!"
"MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A MAN AGAIN!"

I shut them all out, and carried on walking. They all sounded like mad men.

"SHUT UP THE LOT OF YOU BEFORE I POISON YOU ALL!"Magellan shouted.

*timeskip*

After a couple of hours by boat, we were finally at Marineford, the place where the Summit war happened two years ago. Its walls made of stone & justice indicated that way back when, there was a war here, and many people died here, including the famous Whitebeard, and Portgas D Ace, the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard pirates with the epithet of 'Fire Fist Ace'.

My best friend died here as well. Although, her life wasn't taken by the Marines, it was taken by her own Father. Her name was Itami. She too was part of the Whitebeard pirates, and was thought to be one of the most strongest women in the world. She was madly in love with Ace. She died protecting humanity from her Father, who was the King of a unknown universe. She was very (and I mean very) beautiful, inside & out.

'Looks like I'm joining you, Itami.'

(A/N:Itami is a OC of mine, her stories are already up so check them out! Btw, thats not how it went in her fanfic)

I was put in another cell while the executioners began to set up for my death. From what I heard, I'm getting my neck chopped off. To be honest, I'd rather have been shot through the heart:a quick & painless Death.

While I sat, I decided to sing one last time before I'm killed.

"This is Gospel for the fallen ones,"
"Locked away in permanent slumber."
"Assembling their philosophies,"
"From pieces of broken memories."
"Oh ohh oh oh ooh {x2}"
"Their gnashing teeth & criminal tongues,"
"Conspiring against the odds."
"But they haven't seen the best of us yet."

"If you love me let me go"
"If you love me let me go."
" 'Cause these words are knives,"
"And often leave scars."
"The fear of falling apart."
"And truth be told I never was yours."
"The fear, the fear of falling apart."

"This is Gospel for the vagabonds,"
"Ne'er-do-wells & sufferable bastards."
"Confessing their apostasies."
"Lead away by imperfect imposters."
"Oh ohh oh oh ooh {x2}"
"Don't try to sleep through the end of the world."
"And bury me alive."
" 'Cause I won't give up without a fight."

"If you love me let me go."
"If you love me let me go."
" 'Cause these words are knives & often leave scars."
"The fear of falling apart."
"And truth be told I never was yours."
"The fear, the fear of falling apart."

"The fear of falling apart."
{x4}

I heard a knock on my cell door, and walking in was the guy taking me out ti the execution stand. He stood me up, and began to push me towards the execution stand. I winced when my eyes came in contact with the burning sun above. It took me a moment to re-adjust to the sudden brightness.

Then, as I was pushed out, and chained down to the stand with a lock, I saw a whole sea of people, awaiting for me to appear. I myself was truly appalled. All they came here for, was to watch me die. Really, that sounded morbid.

A old voice cleared their throat, and I saw the sort of famous Sengoku, who was becoming gray & frail. He opened up the transponder snail, and spoke out to the crowd.

"Thank you all for managing to make it here today. As you all know, this is the execution of yet another criminal in this filthy world. Here before us, we have the world famous assassin from the Moonlight family:Moonlight D Arabella, a.k.a:The Russian Doll. She's committed crimes that the World Government has immediately considered to be heinous. She has a bounty of 570,000,000 beri, one that is higher than her own older sister. The crimes that she's committed involve:killing World Government officials & admirals, wiping out organizations by herself, involving herself in the Revolutionary army, and finally, discovering one of the ancient Poneglyphs!"

I chuckled."Didn't leave a single detail out..."

Sengoku turned to me."Any last words, Russian?"
I smirked."At least I'm going to die with the chance of being able to love. I loved a man that everyone else hated! And do you know what? That man loved me for who I am, and didn't use me because of my appearance."My shes became a wicked glow."All of you can go to hell."

"What a mouthful..."A executioner mumbled.

"Well with nothing else to say, let us commence the execution."

I closed my eyes, my lips quirking up with a smile. I heard the executioners unsheathe their swords from their leather scabbards, and lowered their swords to my neck.

'Thanks for the memories, Sabo.'



















But all came to a halt, when both of my executioners were shot through the head.
