They followed the English ships for two days, and when they arrived, Rigel controlled the Zombie from a distance to maintain an attitude of indifference, as if he didn't care about his imminent death.
He was imprisoned, awaiting trial. Several nobles came to see Rigel as the news spread, some seemed mocking, others excited, and those most inclined to believe in things like witchcraft even had evident fear in their eyes.
Rigel had put Ragnarok in a bottle and was in London with Calypso, hiding. Calypso was very useful for this part, after all, Rigel's face was already quite famous at that point.
The execution was scheduled for two days later, Rigel had already used the Mermaid's Horn to warn his subordinates, as he didn't want a rescue scene to unfold.
Even so, many of them came to see the execution, all in secret, but they came nonetheless.
On the day of the execution, just as Rigel had expected, a gallows was erected on a high wooden platform, the diminutive figure of Rigel had a rope around his neck, and the executioner seemed to be awaiting orders to finally pull the lever.
The zombie didn't seem at all shocked by this, looking at all the tens of thousands of civilians crowding the square with indifference.
A man approached, wearing one of those ridiculous white wigs with a huge list of them. He climbed up beside Rigel, clearly nervous, but still raised his voice as he announced the dozens of crimes Rigel had committed. He even stammered when he said "Witchcraft."
Finally, he announced that in the name of the king, he had been condemned to death by hanging, and afterwards his body would be burned at the stake.
When he finally quieted down, Rigel controlled the clone to start laughing, a weak laugh that soon began to grow rapidly, until in the end he was laughing like a madman.
The man who had announced Rigel's crimes had already fallen backward, filled with fear, even the executioner was tense.
Finally, while the zombie laughed, the real Rigel controlled another zombie in the crowd, hidden by a cloak. He looked at Calypso, who understood and amplified its voice.
"Hey! Pirate King! What happened to your treasure?! The treasure greater than all the kingdoms on Earth, Atlantis and its mountain of gold?!" The zombie shouted.
The group of civilians was stunned for a moment, but the next, they seemed extremely excited, they, too, wanted to know where all of the treasure of the pirate king, Rigel C. Black, was.
Rigel controlled the zombie to stop laughing, Calypso acted again, amplifying the voice of 'Zombie Rigel'.
The next moment, the zombie smiled, saying: "My treasure? If you want it, you can have it! Look for it! I left everything in that place!"
The next moment, Calypso controlled the executioner's lever, as the executioner had his hand on it, it seemed as if he had pulled it himself. The zombie Rigel fell, and Rigel controlled him to feign agony for a moment before stopping moving.
The next moment, while everyone was still in a state of shocked panic, Rigel controlled the zombies to unleash excited roars, shouting about becoming pirates and going to sea.
What happened next was considered by many historians to be one of the greatest cases of mass hysteria in the world, civilians, led by zombies, began shouting about becoming pirates, some even tried to steal navy ships. Most died, but a few succeeded.
The news would spread rapidly, throughout the world.
The treasure of the pirate king, the pinnacle of Rigel's fame.
Rigel, on the other hand, was already far away when his show ended, he was ready to leave, he was at the bottom of the sea, with Calypso by his side.
Rigel held a magical passport in the shape of a golden bookmark, looking at the mermaid-shaped woman with a hint of concern.
"Are you sure?" Rigel asked.
Calypso rolled her eyes at him, but in the end, she just stared at him.
Rigel sighed, shrugging, he pointed the bookmark at her, Calypso transformed into a stream of energy, she closed her eyes, not resisting anything, in the end, her mermaid form appeared on the bookmark.
Rigel looked at it for a moment, shaking his head. He chose two of the best ships he had while releasing the rest on the coast. He controlled the zombies to inform the civilians about the pirate ships Rigel had hidden, and then made the zombies disappear. This would help these new pirates.
Finally, Rigel emerged from the water, gazing at the sea and the English coast one last time.
The Adventure Book had already stated that Ragnarok could be temporarily contained within him, but since Rigel was using magic to contain something he could already carry, the book allowed him to take Ragnarok directly in bottle form.
Salazar was already on board the ship, as he had come with it, so there was no need to remove him, and Rigel left him there, still inside the coffin.
Shaking his head, he looked at the Adventure Book and said. "Come on, it's time to go back."
The book wrote nothing, instead, its pages turned until 'blank pages' appeared. From the center of the book, a bright light shone. The next moment, both the book and Rigel disappeared.
[A/N: That was the end of this volume. The ending was a bit rushed, but in the end, this is a story about Harry Potter, so I decided it was best to come back soon.]
