Another fic! I've had this idea in my head for a long time, but it was always just Luffy. But, I thought having twins would be fun to write. Luffy and Ruffy, lol. This is a slavery fanfiction, so there is child abuse and light torture, along with dark themes and depression. Nothing extremely graphic.
I've done Big Mom Pirates, the Whitebeards, Straw Hats, so now I wanted to do the Sun pirates. Now, all I need is a fanfiction with Shanks! Enjoy~
Song listened to: Younger Dreams
"That was really fun, grandpa! A good birthday!" a little boy said next to his grandfather, holding his big hand with his small. "I liked the big wheel most! And the cotton candy was yummy."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. The big wheel was my favorite, too, since I could ride with both of you," the marine hero, Garp, replied. His other grandchild disagreed with both, but was still excited and not angry sounding.
"No, the twirly one was best!" the twin said.
"That one was bad, Ruffy! I throwed up," Luffy pouted. He was still in the middle of eating a popsicle.
"I din't mean it like that. I don't like you throwed up. I had fun on it, that's why," Ruffy replied. He was eating a popsicle, too. If the twins didn't have different popsicles, there was no way you could tell them apart. They liked that. They thought it was funny to trick their grandpa whenever he came to visit them. They even wore the same clothes just so they could.
Of course, Garp never told them that he could easily tell them apart just because of their demeanors, if not the three freckles on Ruffy's nose that were just barely there. Both of them held one of Garp's hands. It was later, and both boys bed time was coming.
They were both five years old, small and frail looking. They were heading back to the ship Garp had taken them with. It was a little vacation to Sabaody Park, after the first half of the day was spent exploring the island and playing with all of the bubbles in the local park. They didn't get to see their grandpa much, so it was nice that they were allowed to have a vacation with him.
Years of building up break days had brought them this month long vacation to different islands in the Grand Line, away from their home island, which was the smallest and least sparse island at the beginning of the long Grand Line.
Ruffy finished his popsicle first, and rubbed his brown eyes with his fist. "Grandpa, can you carry me? I am tired right now," the little one said.
"Big boys walk, Ruffy!" Luffy said, though not in a mean spirit. His brother pouted, but reached up for Garp to carry on his shoulders, Garp keeping him steady with one big hand while the other kept Luffy from running off to anywhere he found interesting.
Luffy was the harder twin to keep track of, as he was always a bundle of energy. Ruffy was the more reserved and shy one. "Big boys walk when they want, and rest when they need to," Garp said with a smile. "You're both big boys. Don't worry." Both boys giggled the same laugh.
They were almost to the docks when Garp froze and quickly stopped, unintentionally yanking Luffy's arm back as he continued walking. Damn. He gave a big sigh, and set Ruffy down, kneeling to both boys' heights.
"Before we get back on the ship, we have to bow to some people, okay? Then we can go and eat some dinner and go to sleep," Garp said seriously, but kindly, to not alert them that they were going to be near evil people.
A Celestial Dragon family were riding their big slaves through Sabaody. There weren't supposed to be any that day. That was the reason why Garp chose today to go out to the busy areas of the island. He made sure to keep his uniform on to deter pirates from him and his boys.
Luffy and Ruffy exchanged a confused look, but nodded to their grandpa. "We must be quiet and respectful. Like Makino taught you," the man clarified. The boys nodded again, and wondered why grandpa seemed more tense. But they did as he said, and the three bowed to the Celestial Dragons passing them.
Then Ruffy sneezed. It was quiet, and would have gone unnoticed if not for Luffy saying, "Bless you". Garp froze as the world nobles stopped walking, the chains of their slaves clanking. Garp took a chance and flicked his eyes up to see a young Celestial Dragon girl looking at the boys. They both looked up at the exact same time, with the same confused face.
"Daddy, I want these two. They look the same!" she said with her snobby voice. Garp tensed, but automatically shot his hands out to the sides to hold onto his grandsons' hands. The girl sneered at Garp.
"These two are not for sale," Garp said in a tight voice. He brought attention to himself to show he was a high class marine, but should have known that wouldn't matter to the World Nobles in front of him.
"You think we need to buy a slave to have them? Give these two to my daughter," the oldest of the group of world nobles said. The twins sat up, confused as to what was going on. Ruffy was scared. He didn't like these people.
"I cannot do that," Garp said in an even tighter voice than before. He stared right at the girl's father, who grew angry.
"Do it or I'll kill them," he said. Ruffy started crying, Luffy hurrying over and hugging him.
"Don't worry, grandpa will keep us safe," Luffy said to his crying brother. Luffy always protected him when he was scared. Garp's heart broke from the words as he released his hold on the boys. He knew the Celestial Dragons would kill the two as the man said. Both boys looked at him in confusion as he released both of their hands.
Ruffy was pulled up harshly, with Luffy following and pulled him away. But Luffy was five, and the girl was older and stronger than the little boy. "Hey! No!" Luffy protested, pulling on Ruffy to get him back to grandpa. He was slapped on the face, and Ruffy cried louder. He was hit, too.
Luffy glared at her, but didn't hit back. Makino said violence was bad. "Leave him alone, meanie!" Luffy shouted. Something was put around Ruffy's neck, heavy and hurting his small shoulders.
Luffy was pulled by his messy black hair towards the girl, a collar clanked around his neck, too. "Grandpa!" both boys started crying. "Help!" But Garp didn't come. He had tears in his eyes. He would get the boys back. He would. But for now, they needed to go. He just prayed they wouldn't anger the World Nobles, or become too fun of "toys" for them.
The boys protested being taken away, and were eventually dragged across the ground by the chains attached to the collars. They were both wearing jackets, so the dragging didn't hurt them. They kept screaming for their grandpa, not understanding why he was letting them be treated like this.
Finally, they made their way to their feet, and after being hit again, they angrily followed the mean people taking them away. People looked at the crying boys in pity and sympathy. It was hard enough seeing regular slaves, but crying, young children was just horrific.
Garp had rushed away and to the ship, calling Sengoku immediately, not knowing what to do. Garp was hysterical, so uncomposed that Sengoku almost didn't recognize his voice. The man hurt telling his friend he'd most likely never see them again.
He was ordered to not go after the Celestial Dragons, for that would be more likely to have the twins killed, as punishment to Garp for defying them. They would make him watch as they murdered the boys.
Garp almost resigned right then and there. He would not work for these people. But Sengoku convinced him to stay on, for if the world nobles decided they didn't want the boys and sold them, Garp would be more connected to information about their whereabouts.
The older man cried once the call was over, sitting on the bed Luffy and Ruffy had been adamant about sharing.
Poor Garp. Like always, I'll say I created the way the twins act. It might be off for their age, but all children are different. Review!
