Suffering
AN: I own nothing in this story. Please R&R.
Usopp was covering the rear with Nami beside him. The sniper glanced at his shipmate and was stupefied at her beauty. Her orange hair contrasted sharply with her dark eyes and her pale skin gleamed in the heat.
"Usopp, keep an eye out for the enemy." Nami said in her dulcet tones.
"Sure thing, no point in hiding it now, I'm a master of keeping an eye out for people!" Nami just rolled her eyes. Just then a hand clamped over Usopp's mouth and he passed out. Nami followed several seconds later. Their companions were too far ahead to notice their absence.
Usopp was awakened by cold water being thrown over his body. He jolted awake and found himself naked in a cold cell with stone walls.
"Where am I?" His jailor didn't answer him. The man grabbed Usopp by his hair and dragged him into another room.
"Usopp!?" The sniper looked up and saw Nami, fully clothed and tied to a chair.
"Nami, are you alright?" As soon as the words left his mouth the jailor kicked him hard in the ribs. The man then kept on kicking him over and over.
"Stop it!" Nami yelled, tears coming to her eyes.
"That's enough Jagi." A cruel voice called out. Nami and Usopp both recognized that voice.
"Kuro. I guess even Hell wouldn't take your soul, you bastard!" Usopp shouted. Kuro just laughed.
"You still have a big mouth boy. Let's see you shoot of that mouth of yours if I give my attention to your lovely shipmate here, eh?" The former captain approached Nami with his claws out.
"Stop! Let her go. I don't care what you do to me just let her go!" Kuro paused for a moment and smiled.
"Very well." He signaled to two of his men and they knocked Nami out and carried her away. Kuro approached Usopp and smiled down at him. "I'm going to enjoy breaking you Usopp." Kuro then kicked Usopp hard in the chest, knocking him out once again.
Time was a blur to Usopp. It's passing only noticeable by the pain he was forced to endure. They started with his fingers. Each time they came to him they would break one. After that they moved on to whippings and electrocuting him until his body was covered in lash marks and the smell of burnt flesh masked everything. They started on his arms and legs and had just finished breaking them when he was saved.
