A ray of shine on the Slave Land

Lisa and Lloyko were walking near the gallows. Lisa was swinging on the noose like a swing, and Lloyko was sitting under the support, reading a book. Sinners weren't supposed to read, but today Nakata-san was in a good mood. Sinners were people with the "Stigma of Sin", or slaves in other words. The stigma was the sinner's own serial number and the master's name on the back of the head. Most often girls had their hair cut to show the branding. But Lisa was lucky - it was enough to braid her soot-blackened hair in a pigtail. When selling Sinner lost his official name, but the nickname remained. However, now officially the Sinner was called by a serial number. Lisa's number was 191211, and Lloyko's number was 191212. But in the neighborhood Lloyko was still called Lloyko, and Lisa called Ray. Rapcom Island is without a doubt the darkest place on earth. It is very difficult to smile when dozens of people like you are dying and realize that in their place could easily be you or your loved ones. But Lisa did it. She was like a ray of sunshine that this place lacked. Hence the nickname. The foreigners didn't understand the horror of the picture. They shouldn't, because in their minds, Rapcoma was a paradise in the middle of the stormy East Blue. This place isn't meant for tourism, foreigners don't come here and there's no one to see a bunch of Sinners raking up the corpses of other Sinners every day.... -Lisa, people die in this place. -suddenly said Lloyko to his sister. -Don't you think how you'll feel when you get here? -Brother, you're so funny! -Smiled Lisa. -I'm not going to die of my own free will. If sentenced - I'll commit suicide, that's it! -Indeed, all only to die! - rolled his eyes twin brother.-What's easier? But there was some truth in Lisa's words. Many sinners ended up committing suicide, killing relatives, etc. So, by local standards, the Ruruko twins were very lucky-16 years without psychological trauma in such conditions! Finally, Lloyko got bored of reading, and she and her sister climbed to the top of the gallows. As children, they often imagined what they would do when they broke free. Now they realize that only a select few can get out. But still they often look beyond the horizon. The Hangman stands on the highest hill, where the sea is clearly visible. Suddenly a ship appears on the horizon. In general, ships often sail past Rapkom. But this one was special and on the flag and on the sail was a cheerful Roger in a straw hat, and on the bow depicted the head of an animal... Either a sheep or a horse.... But that wasn't the most remarkable thing about it. It was the first ship in the twins' memory to sail straight for Rapcom.
