     A man in chains,trapped in a tattered iron cell, being pulled by four military horses, to his own demise, with his head slanted down staring at the blood…..dripping off his hands. He stops and thinks….and smiles and ungodly smile with the world's most sinful look in his eyes.    
    Garbage flying from all ends thrown by the crowd of angry people from all around the globe ,all are anxious for his death in return for the hundreds he has slain.
SMACK! A bottle slips thro the bars and shatters off his head. The angry mob lets out a mighty gasp before becoming silent. The guards and horses stop and after a long un-interrupted pause the man in chains….giggles…..."he.hehe...heheheh"…"AAAAHHHH-ahahahah."The man lets out a demented roar like laugh that sent fear down the spines of almost everyone there as he looks up to the sky and smiles the cell began to move again. even as the blood pours from his scalp you can't change that man said a voice ,he’ll smile even at the hardest times. Even at his own death,...that man will greet the icy embrace of the reaper with open arms and a demon like smile.’
           "HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT! A woman says with a shriek. THATS OUR FRIEND AND YOU'RE PREPARED TO WATCH THOSE NAVY BASTARDS KILL HIM? AFTER EVERYTHING HE'S DONE FOR US…... AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH TOGETHER!! YOU'RE GOING TO LET HIM DIE!"   
    "SHUT YOUR MOUTH LIZA!"the woman replize frozen in place, "I'm in just as much pain as you are, but there's nothing more we could do…..this is his request after all ….this is his dying wish we must respect it but all the things that we've been through she says with a tear in her eye. This is what he wants and this is what he gets... the stubborn old fool." she says even through the pain with a crying chuckle she find the courage to be strong for all the others standing behind her on the rough tops watching an waiting. "But captain," …...says Liza before she falls to the floor she begins to cry  and shout to the heavens pounding her fist off the ground aimlessly. knowing there's nothing she could do to help her ex crew member,....her best friend. "Now Now, Liza stand the hell up, you know as well as I….. he knows we're watching he knows we're all here do you think the last thing he wants to hear Is you cry? so stand up quit being so pathetic show the old fool, What A Brave Pirate you could be now….Stand up." says a man that was as tall as a mountain. "This is what he wants dear we cant forget that." He bowed his head with respect and said. "For this is the Fate of the bloodiest pirate in all the seven seas.The mighty, the bloody, the fearless. Red Scorpion himself."
                The cell stopped. And the door flew open and the red scorpion came out bleeding ungodly from his head, a strange look of peace in his eyes ,and a smile of pure bliss he climbed the steps and at the top of the stage….stood a man in a black hood waiting for him. He stopped and took a pause and bowed his head to the man scared out of his mind so that he may tie the noose around his neck. he turns around and smiles right to his old beloved crew. "Any last words?" said the man holding the lever to the trap door under the scorpion’s feet. The scorpion looks down closes his eyes and thinks back on his life.
   

The roaring waves slam back and forth against the rocks standing tall off the coast, sitting upon one of the rocks a boy in torn rags that hardly even passable as clothes with nothing but a wicker basket on his back and a old rusty fishing pole. A mighty growl echoes throughout the bay of the open sea to the white sands on the shore and the luscious grassy hills and valleys beyond them. "If i cant manage to catch something soon ...i dont think ill be able to survive the night….i've been out here all day an still not even a single sardine …..id give up my right arm just for a bit of seaweed at this point. Id be careful with a deal like that lad said an old man standing along the shore ya never know who might be listening. Huh?" The boy jumps and falls into the water he pops back up gasping for air. "HA HA HA!" the old man laughs out uncontrollably. "sorry lad didn't me to startle ya, you didn't startle me b-bu- but you're scaring off the fish! You're probably the reason nothing's been biting all day you crusty old man ya the boy swims back to shore."
