- Introduction I -
Darkness.
Darkness is the last thing I remember, after feeling as my arms were forced to go back to be handcuffed, while I felt how a handkerchief canceled my request for help, my complaints of pain, my sight and began to weaken me, it was there when the dark became present.
This morning we arrived at a new island all were excited, including myself, because we had not been on an island during 2 weeks since our departure from the country of the Samurai and my books are becoming scarce, since reading them are my biggest hobby.
Franky and Brook, were as guardians of the ship, Luffy was forced to go shopping with Nami, 'to do not do stupid things' was her excuse, Sanji, Ussop and Chopper went to the market in search of supplies, food, meat, medicinal herbs, woods for future repairs and cola for Franky and the Sunny.
Zoro as always lonely and reserved not told where he would go, never does because I imagine that he thinks that nobody really cares where he go and say his destination would be spend spit, even so, the others and I already knew that he was going to a bar, because it is the only thing that seeks in all the islands that we have been.
For my part, I decided to shopping new books, because like I said the books without reading becoming scarce in the library of the Sunny and that is not an option that I can allow because I don't want to stay without doing anything on the ship. That morning after our talk about what we would do on the island, I headed toward the city in search of libraries. Or at least that was my intention, when a group of people changed my plans.
When I wake up I noticed that I'm sitting with the wrists imprisoned without being able to feel the powers that the Akuma No Mi had granted when having digested when I was still a little girl 'KairÅseki' crossed my mind back then because that is the only thing that you can cancel the powers.
Now in the full darkness with the senses alert well I notice by the noises around me for the waves, the footsteps on the wood and fabric waving that I am in a ship, wishing that he was one of my nakama have rescued me from the group of people that imposed me the darkness, but I still feel 'captured', sound and unknown voices I hear and for my misfortune my wishes are not fulfilled, I think the worst because in this type of situation it is best to be prepared so that nothing can take me by surprise.
I begin to feel the fear birth, but never ceased to grow and I kill him before he want to try to control myself and less in front to a band of pirates, marines, bounty hunters, or whatever thing that have captured me, I hear a heavy foot to approach and feel how remove the handkerchief from my eyes, I open my eyes but the afternoon sun blinds me for seconds and I can't help but go back to close my eyes and blink several times to get accustomed to the new amount of light that reaches my pupils.
Accustomed I open my eyes again and I see a lot of people, at least about 20, all men, who look at me with superiority and a lot of lust as all those who think they can take advantage of my well taken care of body, unfortunately this band of losers has me well trapped and this time could not avoid anything, because the disadvantage whispers to me.
I know that my trusty crew will come to rescue me and these men would pay the consequences, so the only thing I can make is put my face more serene and wait. Even if takes days to come to my search, this reassures me and gives me the strength to endure the situation, I only wish to they will arrive before these men comply with what their lust dictate them.
"Bastards, today we drawn the lottery, we find this beautiful woman alone and we decided that we would accompany her! Tahahaha," says the man who was next to me, with the handkerchief that previously had been covering my eyes in their hands, while laughs like an idiot with a disgusting sarcastic laugher, the other crew members also accompany him in the group laughter. I'm stared at him , because it was let guess who was one of the people who had kidnapped me. I try to tell him that he would regret for having done so, but I find myself with the obstacle that I'm gagged and my words sounded not complete or were directly canceled.
"Apparently you are already with the due energies" he says again leaving his laughing "How I capture you, I will be the first to enjoy. Tahahaha". I heard the other crew members released howls of injustice, but all end up in accept the decisions of the man who brought them a gift, unfortunately so everyone can enjoy it.
He bends in my front and carries their disgusting hands to one side of my face, I try to avoid the contact of his hands on my face without success since he had a lot of movement and I am weak by the handcuff, but he grabs my hair in a fist and stretches down. "Is better if you cooperate, sweetie, you don't want to I hurt you" he whispers in a toxic breath that could even be poisonous, near to my left ear who suffers the punishment of feel his breath.
This bastard, hurt me would be a consolation in the face of the atrocities that these men could perform in just a couple hours.
To see my calm at his words, frees up my hair and puts his hands 'gently' in my neck, sliding his hands over my shoulders opening my cleavage and lowering my leather vest by my arms up to leave a good view. Then grabs my breasts tightly through the vest, with my strength I omit reproduce the complaint of pain, I do not want to give him the satisfaction that listen to me in complain me.
He test the shape and softness of my chest squeezing them without any delicacy, glad for his discovery, then its perverse right hand released my chest, but search for the zipper of my vest while he left hand still holding tightly my breasts. Drop what's left of the zipper to leave it unusable in its function in the vest. He releases the grip on his left hand and lowered my vest by my arms up to where the handcuffs on my wrists may allow.
Now all my upper body is exposed and how I did not use bra, there is no restriction that could get away from mundane desires of the pig that is in my front, I see how the pig smiles for its great hunting and his eyes watching my breasts in admiration, he turns and looks for his friends, all nod also glad for his great capture.
The urge to cry take hold of my consciousness, now I just want to have stayed in the ship reading until the last book, stay without reading until the next island was much more desirable than to be in this situation. I never imagined that this could happen to me even more when I now have a family, people who care for me, people who always looked for my well-being and comfort.
With my skills I could always escape at the first opportunity or track to showed me this same future, but now we are in the New World there are powerful people on all sides and neglected meant the end, unfortunately life is teaching me in first hand and in the worst way, the danger that reigns in the New World.
The animal in front of me, he returned his gaze to my breasts after win the approval of all his companions who accepted immediately, with his gaze he travels through my breasts, my body, with those eyes filled with lust, I look away in disgust and noticed that is already quite excited by the bulge between her legs and that was evident while he kneels before me. Unconsciously I close my legs showing the fear that I wanted to hide. He notices and smiles sarcastically, silently saying that it presents no obstacle to its power at this time.
Happy with my weakness leads his right hand again to my left breast, squeezing with his fingers my areola to note even more my nipple. Causing me great pain while approaches his mouth to my other breast. He starts licking every part of my right breast and tried to avoid his tongue on my breasts. But with his teeth grabs my nipple and mercilessly bites me, generating a growl of my part by pain.
His left hand takes it to my back while holding and pushing me forward, to avoid making any other movement on my part and also pronouncing my back making further highlight my breasts. He bites my nipple, areola and around without any delicacy while I squeeze my teeth containing me several things. I noticed how my areola hurts too much since it was a very sensitive area and I feel the blood exit from my body.
And without wanting, the first tears fall down my face, I don't wanna cry, I do not want to be 'weak', but the pain, frustration, and the fact that I can't do anything to avoid what is making to me, have a greater weight and overflow me, I can't contain some tears who cry for freedom from my eyes. The other crew members only observe, impatiently waiting for the other to finishing in its work of 'accompany me', some eager begin to touch his member.
I do not want to observe only makes it worse and I feel 'nobody', 'empty' I think is the best option, because I believe it is the best way to withstand what lies ahead, when I think of closing my eyes appears a white/sky-blue glow that cuts the forearm of my kidnapper in 2, I see in horror how the glow hits the skin of my upper body and chest, but it not cuts me nor some discomfort, it just disappears as if a moment ago had not cut bone and flesh putrid, the only one affected separates sharply screaming in pain while holding his right forearm, now incomplete.
I smiled satisfied by the change of situation. The cut is clean and perfect, he wrist spits out blood spurted, as a source of water, but red, water sources that had just seen that decorate the streets of the city. The man starts dripping and shivering confused by the facts that he had suffered.
I feel like to see my savior, although this situation can worsen and I can end up being another victim of this fight. I'm sitting here, almost leaning on my elbows supported by the previous actions of my raptor now without a hand, so the others crew member do not let me see farther than their own backs, then I can see how all members of the crew fly out to the side with another glow. Giving me space to see better.
And finally I can see it, I can see his short green hair, and that is enough to make me feel relieved and protected, with their presence nothing bad can happen, that no one can continue hurting me. And I feel like crying again, but this time for reasons totally different. A cry of fear and supplication I hear by the man of a hand, I turned to him, her crystalline eyes expressed recognition and fear.
He realized who is the man in front of him, green hair, murderous glare, 3 katanas at his waist, his unequaled and dark presence is obvious clues to their identity. After our adventures in Wano, know his name and pronounce it without fear is impossible, for any adventurer to pronounce his name is a challenge that right now he just lost.
The pig turns toward me and I note me in detail this time without lust, wondering that maybe I'm the reason for the emergence of such a legend in this poor ship without a future, her eyes open with force and raises his eyebrows in surprise recognizing me at the end, I can hear how swallows hard and how their courage, strength and dominance of a few moments ago escape already knowing that his end is written and very close to be fulfilled, because death was the only way to escape in front the 3 katanas of the invader.
Observe the man pee herself in fear in his pants gave me pity and is the last thing I want to feel about he, I turned toward Zoro and he approach toward my weak presence after frozen at all enemies with a simple look. He look directly to my eyes, I can see the fury and genuine concern in his eye, something that I had never thought see coming from its part. He stops on my front and kneels, without breaking the contact between our eyes.
"Calm down, I'm here" he said in a whisper only audible to my ears. Takes his hands to my cheeks and with the soft touch of his fingers begins to clean up the path that my tears are making. With my mental strength I tried to help him repressing my tears to dry my face, he remove the gag that blocks my mouth.
"Zoro" I say taking advantage of the freedom of my mouth. He eye down from my eyes to my body, analyzing each part. In spite of the situation I can't avoid blushing before he analytical gaze when I realize that I am still with my breasts in exhibition, I see he eye look at the bites that I have in the right breast. But I can not see ulterior motives of his part, only the concern that leads while adorning his gaze.
"They have done something more?" he asked when his eye returns to perch on my own eyes, clearly wondering if he had arrived in time and if they had done something that is not appreciated at first sight. I shake my head in denial, feeling like I can't articulate a word despite no longer being gagged.
He sighs in relief and smiles slightly happy for avoid my fateful future, then surrounds me the shoulder with his strong arm and the other takes me beneath my knees holding me like a 'princess'. I didn't expect this, so this surprise me and I blush again. We off from the ship and I can see how he are looking for a place. He returns to walk apparently finding where put me to sit-down.
He find a place with good shade and he sit me on the floor, his gaze is again with my eyes and he kneels down, leads his hands behind my back and I can feel my vest begins to rise up my arms to get dressed me properly, wanting to get rid of my partial nudity. He goes up the vest again to my shoulders and removed my hair that is trapped in my back, he join the zipper in order to be able to upload them until reach a height at which my breasts prevent the rise of the zipper, I watch how he cheeks have a rose almost imperceptibly, but I can see it for the proximity between us, perhaps surprised by the size of my breasts and how prevented the passage of zipper.
Down the zipper a few centimeters with no other option, he must place my breasts so that they do not return to clog. Do he have calloused hands? Yes, but these are nice and soft. Thats hands manipulate my breasts carefully, avoiding contact extra that could bother me and avoid the bites that burned in my right breast, the accommodates within the vest looking for the decrease the bulge of my breasts in the center to allow for the advance of the zipper.
Attempts to close the zipper again and this time he get. He smiles in approval while I feel my cheeks blushing by the gentle caresses that no man, never, had been concerned in gave me.
I know Zoro is very respectful and once more I have been witnessed. Because even within our crew some had taken advantage of this situation by giving me some touches out of place or asking me questions that what panties I am dressing today. I thank eternally to who is listening my thoughts for place us on the same road, after the hard life that I have come to suffer, I need someone friendly, although doesn't show it, respectful and above all that could also intimidate and excite to anyone.
But out of that, there is a big problem and that is that the vest with the pressure, pity my right breast; by the hard leather and the ardour of the bites of the pork. Breathing make things worse "I'm sorry, but the vest hurts me. Could you take off me my vest again?" I say, by not being able to bear the pain, "Ohh yes, of course, my mistake," he says and down the zipper to the end leaving my breasts exposed again, then remove the vest of my shoulder, only the right to leave to the free air to avoid the vest could return to come into contact with my wounds.
"Thank You." I thank while I see how takes off he green coat covering me with it, avoiding prying eyes and my exposure what is already lengthy too for my reserved taste, but now he is that walketh half naked. He supports his right hand on top of my head as if it were a girl scared, but for some reason it works.
"Don't move, I will come back in a few minutes..." I agreed, anyway, I cannot move freely. Although I wonder where he will going in this situation. He gives me a smile and remove his hand from my head, gets up from his kneeling position, turns around and I can see how ties his bandana on his head, which previously had been removed from his arm in order to be able to cover me with his coat, while go to the ship where before I was kidnapped.
Ship already have the boat sails ready, I could hear the voices that say they are ready to flee, I guess not wanting to wait for the Bounty Hunter return to satisfy he thirst for revenge to have attacked directly to one of his companions of travel. But Zoro is more skillful and only have to jump to reach the ship begin to leave out of fear.
The following minutes I can summarize them easily in 2 sentences:
The first: screams of all types that ended in pain by the flesh being torn apart.
The second: Clashes of swords, shootings and wood being cut.
Comforting sounds because I know who shouts, the reasons and their sins. I am witnessing the infamous cruelty that characterizes the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro, if this show I had witnessed or heard it 2 years before Ennies Lobby I would be terrified since I could be next, because at that time Zoro did not trust me, but now that we have shared many adventures, I know that he would get his heart out from his chest before doing any direct damage to any of his nakamas, including me. I laugh at these thoughts.
Several minutes pass in complete silence, there is already a winner and without a doubt I know who it is that rises victorious. But why still he does not return? Maybe those pirates are more of what appeared to have been able to hurt him and because we are now in the New World and can not be trusted in our eyes. I try to stand a few times in order to be able to help him in the worst case, but failed miserably, the only thing I have done is to toss the effort of Zoro from cover myself with his coat which is now on the floor.
I feel my eyes moistened by my thoughts out of place and my incompetence. Then finally i can see how Zoro out of the ship, safe and not scratches. I let out a huge sigh of relief over the fact that my thoughts have not been met. I notice that he has several keys in both hands and a bag in the back. He approach with the fixed looked in mine.
"Hey, I have returned..." he said while smiling. As if the massacre that I have heard would not have happened. Leave the bag on the floor and shows me the keys after lifting his green sweater from the floor, now he will think that I don't like his coat and I had thrown. "I have brought all the keys I found in the bodies and all the ship" 20 keys I count quickly.
"Good thinking, if you don't mind, would you do me the favor of removing me the handcuffs" I say and I do not know how, but apparently, I had stand up for myself, because I can see his eye to my height. "Of course..." he responding while eliminate the friendliness from his factions to return them to the normally, that he use before all people, I turn so that he can access the handcuffs that bother me from the beginning.
Later, after he tried a few keys, and when my wrists came out free, I arranged my arm vest to put it on my shoulder so that I could use my arms without strings attached, to do the first thing I needed to do after seeing that it was he who came to my inaudible cries for help.
I turn to face him and hug him tightly around his neck with my arms and I hide my face between his shoulder, his neck and my arm, so that I can sob without worry and release all my tension, as both of us are with exposed torsos, our breasts were touching, and my right chest hurt again, but nothing that could take me away from the hug I am giving him.
Zoro tensed for a few seconds, but quickly understanding what I was holding, he hugs me back around my waist, giving me the support, I needed to free myself, I thought he would be in an uncomfortable situation and would stand still. I consolidate the grip I have on him and let some tears flow in relief and gratitude, I don't mind him seeing me as 'weak' as he wouldn't take advantage of it.
I want to continue in this comforting place forever, in his arms, but unfortunately it has to end. I pull my head out of his shoulder and we look at each other, I give him a kiss on each cheek despite having his sinister face accented with his dark bandana, but his cheeks blushed slightly instantly, which I cannot contain a slight chuckle. "Thanks for saving me and for the hug" I give as answers to my actions trying to draw a smile on my wet face, "And I'm sorry about your coat, I didn't mean to leave it on the floor". He raises his hands to my face to wipe away my tears again, and then returns his hands to the hug at the end of his work.
"Never mind, anytime you want. You know, it is my duty as the first Strawhat crew member to protect and safeguard the integrity of others," he responds with a proud smile that would scare anyone and make some feel protected. To which my task of drawing a smile is made easier. We were still hugging, even with my arms around his neck, half-naked, chest to chest, I had never dared to get so close to him, we had never had so much contact. To avoid making the situation uncomfortable, I look at the bag he had on his back and now rested on the floor next to him.
"They are treasures that I found inside the boat while I was looking for the keys, as they have no owner, they will be better in our hands", he said when he noticed where my gaze was going, when I heard it clear, I returned to his eye and I could see the sinister smile when he said the last words. Understanding the end of those worthless characters.
"Do you know what to cover yourself with?" I suppose that's the reason his mind had formulated when he saw how I didn't separate from him, perhaps thinking that I'd get uncomfortable leaving my breasts exposed to his sight, what an innocence, "There's nothing soft I can wear and you need your coat."
"Then try this, it's very soft, try to put it under the vest to avoid contact," he said, removing the bandana from his head, I had to separate myself to grab it, and it was really soft as if I had shorn Chopper to make such a soft cloth, before his eyes I fold it up and put it on my chest covering the wounds, I close the zipper not before putting it on my breasts as he had done before, I raise the zipper enough to hide the black cloth of his bandana.
I sit down to be comfortable again without the discomfort of leather, I take my gaze back to his and he seriously nods, demonstrating his agreement to the situation, without giving a glimpse of the primary desires that every man has by having a half-naked woman on his front, but I know that he has them totally under control and that my well-being has greater weight in his consciousness.
I realize that his muscular chest has traces of my blood in it, having been embraced by him, I soak my thumb in my saliva and carry him to his chest cleaning my blood, "Ready" I say and embrace him for the second time in my whole life, and I give him my third kiss on his cheek "Thank you" and for the second time again on his shoulder, he lets himself be embraced by me, letting me rest on his shoulder also for the second time.
"Let's take advantage of this situation and salvage our parts before we go to the ship. Nami will smell the Gold as soon as we step on the boat and want to appropriate all of them," he said mockingly after a while, knowing that Nami would not hesitate to do what he had said. I laugh at his sentence, but his words hide the fact that I stopped hugging him or I would have to make myself do it, I separate myself by the good ones. He goes back, opens the bag and spreads it on the ground, letting all the treasures in the bag be seen. "Come and choose what you like best," he says, kneeling down in front of the treasure mound. I imitate him, we search the treasures and grab the objects of our interest.
I see that he puts some objects in his haramaki and a dagger in his trouser pockets. He takes a gold bracelet with a green jewel in the center and puts it on his arm "This will sell well" he said on a low level for himself, stopping his search and waiting for me to finish with mine.
When I finish, he goes back to his knees and grabs a beautiful necklace on which he hangs a blue stone, which I had never seen before. He stretches it towards me and I look at him confused. "A gift, I have no doubt it will look great on you" he says smiling despite his seriousness.
I smile with my soul, expressing the happiness I feel for the gesture he shows me. "Thank you" is the only thing my lips can express, I ask if he can put it on me and he agrees. I am enraptured by the stone that now adorns the beginning of my cleavage, while Zoro adjusts it and hooks it to my neck.
He nods, confirming his penultimate prayer, while observing the stone. He fills the bag with the treasures again. "Wait a moment," he says as he picks up the keys and handcuffs that used to trap me, he stops and starts walking, stopping in front of the ship and throws the objects into the ship. He turns back a few meters with his back to the boat, draws out his 3 swords pointing to his right, sharpens his gaze and turns around completely, creating a twister that begins to completely destroy the ship, bodies and pieces of the ship dance inside the twister as it moves out to sea. I don't hear any screaming in the tornado, implying that they were all really dead, not that I distrusted his words anyway. He keeps his katanas without looking back as he knows what his katanas are capable to do.
"Ready, now they won't be able to bother anyone else again, Hahahaha" this time a laugh escapes their throat. The first in weeks, I enjoy the sound it makes because it is a rare event for such a serious man. He grabs the bag and we headed for the ship or where Zoro's steps would end up taking us, but right now I don't care too much, I want this moment to go on and on and let Zoro guide us is the best option.
I walk beside him wanting to feel his hands again, the gentleness of his fingers and the warmth they emit, but how to tell him without him realizing that I have these intentions, at least I still don't want him to know it, all in due time. I deepen my thoughts as we enter the city.
I see Zoro changing the bag from side to side, holding and putting it on his right shoulder, he turns enough to look at me with his eye without tearing it, and he shows me his palm, I look at him confused and without understanding anything, then his eye goes to my hands and I follow him.
For some reason my hands are shaking without my unrestrained permission, so I understand his actions, he misinterpreted the tremors in my hands and offers me his so that I can hold it to calm my 'fears' and overcome the recent 'trauma' now that we would be surrounded by people, I smiled at this kind/tenderly act on his part and gladly join my hands with his, which immediately calm down, I thank him verbally again.
I lost track of how many times I've been thanking Zoro on this day and I'm laughing mentally. I have been imagining various situations, conversations about how I could hold his hand without this leading to misunderstandings. It was easier than I thought, because Zoro himself has cleared the way for me and in my thoughts they didn't get to the right place. I take advantage of his misunderstanding of the situation by squeezing his hand and come closer to him.
We went out and entered the city several times, we found ourselves with dead-end corridors, from the city we appeared facing the sea and without a clue to the Sunny, obviously he doesn't know where to go and he was lost as usual, but as I said I didn't care because translated into my language it means to walk alone with Zoro holding hands for more time. We walked together in a pleasant silence with no direction whatsoever. Until my curiosity begins to bother me when I remember the events and the desire to ask him questions control me.
"Zoro" I call his attention after clearing my throat, he raises his eyebrows in response to the call. "How did you find me?, I find it abnormal that you get on other ships and in an area far from the city" I ask, wanting to get out of the lagoon of this small and unexpected 'adventure'.
"Well... I was trying to get back to the ship, but as the streets and buildings of this city are constantly moving I couldn't find my way and wanting to find any of the crew I activated my Haki of Observation. As we are always on the ship, I learned to memorize each of your presences," he pauses for a moment.
"When I activated my Haki I found your presence and you were close by, but also very weak, so I thought something had happened to you, I left the city, I crossed the forest to realize that your presence was coming from the boat, so I went up immediately, just to find you in 'that' situation, I made an aerial cut when I saw you about to cry and the pervert who was taking advantage of you, you know the rest" he smiles again for a few seconds. I look directly at his features, as I am to his left I cannot see him in his eye, wanting to seek some more important reason in his actions than the simple fact that his 'nakama' was in danger, a search that was in vain since this man is very secretive.
"Thank you" I murmur to his ears satisfied with my useless search, while I press even more on his left hand, I bring my left hand to his left forearm, embracing and feeling the hardness of his dark muscles, I kiss his shoulder, or the clothes that cover his shoulder, in confirmation of my words. He makes no protest about my approach since it is just an innocent action, I release his arm from the embrace and the silence reigns again in our afternoon walk.
I calculate that we have been walking for about 2 hours since the silence began to chat for us, noticing the twilight indicates the arrival of the night, after a while Zoro finally finds the ship appearing on our front, well visible with no possibility of going another way. To my happiness we followed with our hands clasped, a gesture that would end sadly when we were near the ship.
And so it is, Zoro releases our hands, alleging that it would cause confusion and misunderstandings among the members of the ship. I accept, not to my pleasure obviously.
End Chapter 1
