Covered in bruises and mud, Law drew himself closer to the wall. The noises outside grew louder and the fifteen years boy closed his eyes prying that whatever was happening outside his cell doesn't reach him. The last time he heard noises like these, was when his captives decided to clean their stock, to bring a new one; which meant, choosing the better slaves from the pack, and getting rid of the ones that they deemed useless, to make space for new ones they were receiving. The 'bad stock' were not set free, but were burned like trash. The teen still remembered the cries and screams of the slaves, as the fire burned their flesh and ate their lives.
The noises got closer, and he shivered. Burying his head into his knees, he felt tears fall from his eyes. This was the end, he was going to die. the last time he was chosen, was because he was still ten, and he had a cute face, but now he became so thin that he wasn't good for labor work anymore, and when the wall fell on him last week, he was carried to this cell, and he never saw the light outside since then. Law wasn't even given any food, and if it wasn't for the rain, he would have died from thrust. He was sure he was going to be chosen as one of the bad stock, to get disposed of, and when the door opened, he whimpered.
"There is a child in here" yelled a young voice, and Law raised his face. At first he was blinded from the light, then when his eyes got used to the light, he could make out a small figure in front of him looking curiously at him. It was a small boy with golden locks and baby blue eyes.
"Don't worry; we are not going to hurt you. We are, the revolutionary army, and we are here to free the slaves" explained the boy while moving closer. Law backed further into the wall, and the boy stopped his advance.
"My name is Sabo, and you are hurt. If you come with us, we will treat your wounds, and give you food" upon hearing the promise of food, the boy backed a little from the wall, and the eleven years boy grinned. Law noticed that the boy had a missing tooth. Sabo inched closer to the slave slowly.
"I will now open your cuffs, so I can take you to the place where you will get treated in" promised the boy as he moved slowly closer to the older boy. Reaching the slave, he began to work on opening the hand cuffs, and then he realized that the slave's legs and hands are broken. And as he opened the first hand, a man entered the cell.
"Commander, we freed the rest of the slaves" reported a man, and Law screamed while moving his hands, which resulted in hitting the younger boy. The slave moved to the wall, and got more scared, when the man screamed Sabo's name, and came closer to inspect the fallen commander.
"Stop!" chided Sabo, halting the man in his steps.
"I am okay. Get out, you are scaring the boy" the man looked unsure, but he bowed and left, leaving the boys alone. Getting up on his feet again, Sabo apologized for his subordinate's behavior.
"I am sorry about that, don't be afraid, he won't come here again" assured the boy. Law feared that by hitting the blond he was going to get killed as a punishment.
"You are a commander?" asked Law, as he looked suspiciously at the small boy. He couldn't believe his eyes.
'A small boy was a commander of the revolutionary army?' Law came from a wealthy family before he was captured by the slave's traders, and he heard of the revolutionary army before from his father.
"hahaha yeah" Sabo's laugh was dry as he scratched his hair.
"To tell you the truth, this is my first mission as a commander. Yesterday I was promoted by the leader to this position, since he thinks that I am good for it, but even I doubt his decision on this matter" confessed the blond, as he watched the boy's eyes scan him for any possible danger.
"You were a noble?" the question made Sabo's blood froze.
"Huh?"
"You speak like one" stated Law.
"I don't speak like one, and if I was one, then you too are one"
"I never said I wasn't" the boy's replay made Sabo face plum.
"Ah ok, let me open your cuffs, so we could get you treated, and then we could eat sooner" moving closer to the boy, he watched the boy began to shake again.
"Are you cold?" he asked.
"no genius, I am peachy" Sabo felt himself swept drop, at how fast the boy turned from frightened, to cocky in a matter of seconds. Opening the boy's locks, he turned and mentioned for the boy to climb over his back, and as he carried the teen, he grimaced at how light weighted he was. Sabo thought that his next goal would be, after getting the slave treated, is to make him eat as much as Luffy and Ace ate.
