Hello guys!

I loved the reviews!

They make me so happy you idiots! (accepts compliments Chopper's way)

I'm sorry guys I throw in a little japanese, after watching 501 eps + movies + ovas in japanese with spanish subtitles well... what can I say, when I write Luffy I don't imagine him saying "that is sooo coool!" I just imagine his SUGE! face :P - Another thing is that I usually watch spanish sub, and I don't know how certain trademark phrases would be translated in the english dub or fansub...

Anyway I try to keep the Japanese to a minimum but being a Japanese comic... well its expected than a true hardcore One Piece fan to know the basics, right? (that is why I didn't bother to add the translations at the end of the last chapter).

About SPOILERS: Yeah they are HEAVY, I'm up to date to the latest chapter of the manga, but I try not to dwell to much in the current arc in this fic. I will just focus with basic 3D2Y obvius changes such as body/char changes and some powers. And about that, thanks to a helpfull reviewer I was noticed that 3D2Y its NOT a tatoo, and I'm so glad! I want Luffy to tattoo something way cooler and less sadder than that.

On with the fic then!

Review! Please :)

Broken:
Chapter II: Luffy's suffering

"Its Luffy! They did something terrible to him!" Chopper had said with great distress in his voice.

"What do you mean by that!"

"Imposible"

"No way"

"Where is Luffy!"

Outraged gasps and escaped from the whole crew while Zoro was graving Chopper's small shoulders (now that he had transformed back to his favorite brain point form) and was shaking the poor thing. By now, the little reindeer was crying madly and mucus was running down his nostrils.

"Swordsman-san you are scaring him" warned Robin, she knelled besides the doctor.

"Doctor-kun" the archeologist said firmly, calling by title, appealing at Chopper's more professional side of his persona. "What happened to Senchou-san and the others?"

Chopper sniffed and started to talk "Usopp and Brook are okay and are taking care of him, I came back to look for sedatives… he is… he is so broken!"

"What?" Gasped everyone.

"I can't explain now! I should go back to start treatment!" He was soon aboard little Merry 2, going all speed for his needed supplies aboard the Sunny, he didn't have the type of medicine he needed in his backpack, he damned himself for his supposed carelessness.

The distressed crew had to wait for his return.

"Follow me! I will lead everyone to where Luffy is"

"Franky, guard the ship" Zoro said firmly, Franky wanted to protest, he wanted to know what happened to his captain as much as any of them, but he understood the need of someone strong guarding the Sunny, and nobody there was more adequate for the task than the enormous cyborg.

"Alright swords-bro, will be waiting here"

It was a maddening run, a thousand of questions in the crew's mind, Nami was hit by wild branches, her knees scrapping with the wild plants, but she didn't care, nobody cared what happened to them, their only concern now was Luffy.

"Chopper if Luffy is hurt why didn't you guys bring him back to Sunny?" Sanji demanded.

From his place at the front of the party, the running reindeer gasped the words "we can't carry him! He… you, have to see this for yourself!".

It was the longest run Zoro remembered in his life, maybe in reality it was just forty minutes, but it felt like running for a long tortuous year.

Suddenly maddening screams could be heard over the distance, Luffy's screams.

They reached the end of the wilderness and were directed to an opening, they could see a primitive village at the base of the volcano, it was somewhat nested by it. Huts where simple constructions consisting on bushes and mud, torches were everywhere giving a faint light and people was nowhere to be seen. But they didn't care about all this, they just kept running to the center of the village, where a big fire was lit, and the figures of Ussop and Brook could be seen shadowed by it.

They could also see the source of the cries and whimpers, their captain was on his knees, graving his head and screaming nonsense, he seemed in great pain.

Usopp was next to the captain saying things nobody could hear and Brook was busy directing his sword towards a dark skinned native that was bounded tightly with ropes around his body, hands on his back.

"What the hell happened here!" Screamed Nami while kneeling besides the captain while trying to look for injuries.

"Don't get too close to him Nami, he can't hear you" Warned Usopp, the red head looked at the sniper and could see he was pretty beaten up. A black eye, his overalls dirtied, several scratches his hair was a mess, he even have some bandages that she was sure Chopper had provided earlier.

"Watch out guys Luffy is not himself right now, let me give him something first" the reindeer said this as he prepared a syringe. "at least he isn't trashing punches anymore…"

"What… the FUCK, happened here" Demanded Zoro, never in his wildest dream he thought seeing Luffy like this. His Captain was on his knees, whimpering, crying, eyes closed and graving his scalp madly.

"This gentleman here, accused master Luffy of disgracing the village, and then he said he had to punish the evil doer, before we could do something, he touched Luffy-san's forehead and a black cloud dissolved into his body" Explained Brook, his voice sounded unusually cold.

"Akuma no Mi" said Usopp "At first Luffy was trashing so badly that he managed to hit us with his punches, and nothing we said seems to help, he seems trapped in another world now".

"Luffy… I'm going to give you something so you can feel better" whispered Chopper. As soon as Chopper grabbed his arm to give him the injection Luffy raised his head and looked at the doctor with crazed blank eyes.

"Where are my Nakama!" he asked clenching his teeth. Chopper swallowed hard and said firmly

"Luffy, we are all here!" The doctor said while he again tried to grab his captain's arm.

"You LIAR!" and with a mighty push he sent Chopper flying.

"Luffy! What are you DOING!" Nami demanded.

Luffy got to his feet with more effort that it would normally take, his breath was shallow and his face sweaty, he looked in pain, as if he just had battled Oz, Moria and the whole CP9.

"Guys…" Usopp warned with a worried voice "… this is why we called you all!"

Luffy screamed in blind rage and raised his fist towards Usopp, not bothering to announce his attack with a 'gomu gomu no' shout first, the sniper jumped safely out of the way.

"What are you doing shit captain!" Sanji said in rage jumping in front of Luffy.

"Wait! It's not his fault Sanji!" Chopper screamed having turned into his Heavy Point "He doesn't recognize us!"

Before he could said anymore Sanji's eyes widened when he saw a fist aiming to his face, he blocked with a powerful kick, but that wouldn't stop the crazed captain who started his gatling gun attack, it was unusually slow and weak. Sanji didn't have any trouble blocking.

"Robin do something!" Nami shouted, it was a plea and order.

Robin crossed her arms "Twenty fleur!"

Arms sprouted from Luffy's body and grabbed him, around his neck, his arms and torso, as if to immobilize. Robin clenched her teeth "Quick, he is too strong and made of rubber… I can't control him"

And as if in cue, Sanji, Usopp and Chopper jumped towards the captain and grabbed him enough for Chopper to quickly inject him in the arm.

Zoro had been silent watching the madness going around him, and he didn't need to see anymore, he just pushed the tip of his white meitou into the native's throat, drawing a thin line of blood.
"Tell me what the fuck did you do to our captain or I swear your death won't be slow or painless" murderous intent in his good eye.

The native smiled a toothy grin, yellow teeth and some were missing "He be doomed now! You can do nothing!" He started to laugh manically.

Zoro widened his eye and was about to do something rash when arms graved him "wait" said the Archeologist

"If we kill him now, we won't know what he did to our Senchou… or why" Robin as usual, was making sense. Zoro took a deep breath but didn't lower the katana.

"He murderer! He kills our god Hitokage-sama! We doomed" the native said, he had his face colored with paint and intricate patterns and small bones decorated a collar around his neck, human bones.

"Hitokage-sama? A salamander?" asked Robin

"Luffy killed a gigantic ass fire salamander inside the volcano… the fucking thing attacked us…. We did see an altar of some sort inside but we didn't think anything of it…" explained Usopp, sweat in his brow as he still was helping Chopper and Sanji to immobilize Luffy.

While the situation was explained Chopper's drugs started to take effect in Luffy's body, he was starting to fall asleep and his whimpers had quieted down by now, Chopper and Nami were at his side, she carefully took off the hat that rested as usual on his back, and eased his head in her lap.

"I take that this salamander was important?" Robin asked the native.

"He be our guardian deity, he makes volcano sleep and protect us!" the old man said. "Now nobody protect us, we doomed and he is too!".

"Oh yeah, you are so fucking doomed shitty native!" Sanji said taking a step towards the man.

Nami was paying more attention to Luffy than the conversation going on in the background, he was sweating and she touched his forehead gently "he is too hot"

"Nami… " Luffy whispered, Nami gasped, it was the first thing she heard him say that she could understand "What is it Luffy?" she asked gently.

Tears escaped from his closed eyes "Nami.. you can't be dead too… why…"

"Nani? Luffy what is wrong? I'm here, see? Everyone is here!"

"Nami … not you too…" a last whimper escaped his lips and then he went silent, some tears still escaping his eyes.

The native laughed again "He be in nightmare, forever, until he dead, no escape punishment. Weak man last 3 moons, stronger man seven moons, but all dead"

"Luffy is strong! He won't die for some fucking nightmare you put him on!" Zoro said harshly.

"Oh yes he die, because he not sleep, he not eat or drink water, he only see pain, hurt, he go mad and die! That is me magic, I give eternal nightmare, no one escape" the native boasted.

"Then, that would be your fate too!" Zoro said.

"Don't care to die, kill me" the native challenged.

Robin clenched her jaw, she knew the means to push the old man's buttons, it was not the usual ways of this crew, but desperate situations required desperate measures.

She crossed her arms and suddenly there was a childish scream coming from some bushes, a chain of hands grabbed a child that was in hiding, and soon the kid was pulled in front of the elder native, whimpering in fear and screaming in a guttural non decipherable tongue. She held the child upside down dangling from his ankle, as to make a point.

"oi Robin" Usopp said worried. He was sure Luffy won't approve of such violence towards innocents, no matter the situation.

Robin ignored him "You forget elder-san that we are pirates, and that man over there is our Senchou, so if you don't tell us how to fix this problem, you won't have to wait for the volcano to obliterate this village…" she said darkly.

Usopp looked at Robin's eyes, and understood that she was determined, that she was mad their captain was hurt, but that she also had no real intention of hurting this child.

Zoro decided to add "We will unleash doom in this village sooner than any volcano can!" People started to scream from the bushes directions and a middle aged woman appeared screaming something to the elder. The child's mother, Sanji figured.

"Usopp, light that hut" commanded Zoro. Usopp nodded, cruel or not, they needed to get the point across. He pointed his kabuto to the farthest hut and soon his fire bird star was consuming the humble house.

Suddenly more natives emerged screaming from the bushes, some men tried to put out the fire whilst others took spears and started to run towards the pirates, trying bravely to defend their village.

"Don't shitty fuck around!" Sanji kicked them all without any effort.

By now the whole village was terrorized from these demons, all were screaming in their own tongue for the elder to do something. An old man, older than the shaman, with an intricate decoration in his head and a wooden staff spoke with the bounded up man, he looked like a leader, maybe the village chief.

Finally the old shaman understood the situation "Please, not hurt them!"

Nami took her perfect clima tact and with little effort made it rain, the fire was quickly put out.

"Blessed be! Blessed be! Weather Goddess-sama!" Said the shaman while crying in emotion. Of course, Robin thought, this kind of power would seem god like for someone from a village so sheltered as this.

Nami's face was so disfigured from her anger, that she didn't even look pretty anymore "Fix him!" she demanded while looking at the shaman with scorn.

"Me not fix him, no men can" the native said.

"Don't go fucking shitting us!" Sanji screamed.

"I manipulate mind of man, but not fix! I take old pain, memory, fear I make a nightmare cloud, that is me magic" he tried to explain.

"Omoi Omoi no Mi" whispered Robin "Could be that this man took the mind manipulation devil's fruit… but I have to check in a book over the library at Sunnys to be sure".

"Well then" Zoro said sheathing his katana. "Let's go back to our Ship and we take this scum with us".

Chopper turned into his heavy point form and gently picked Luffy up and Zoro asked the doctor to get the captain on his back. The weight of the captain was released on him in more ways than the literal one.

They started their slow walk towards the Sunny, "So how did he even manage to get trashed by some shitty native anyway" asked Sanji while taking a deep smoke.

Usopp sighed and started to tell the rest of the story "After we escaped from the volcano, we found a nice spot to eat our lunch, and then this man came screaming at us in this strange tongue. Of course Luffy didn't mind him; he found him funny and kept eating his lunch. Called him funny bushy old man".

"Obviously…" said Zoro darkly.

"And then, the native understood what our language was and started babbling about a god, and that it was their treasure, he said the salamander thing was very important, so then Luffy did take notice in his words… you know how he is with that kind of thing" Usopp sighed.

"And then?" Robin asked.

Brook is gentlemanly voice continued "So Luffy –san apologized and got on his knees, very polite of him is you ask me, saying he didn't know it was their treasure he killed, and asked if he could do something to make it right"

"and then that damned man said, that yes, he could! And without any notice he trashed his palm on Luffy's forehead, and that's when this black cloud smoke thing got inside Luffy!" Usopp stopped talking, he had a lump on his throat. "Damn it!" he said in frustration. "I'm sorry everyone…"

Usopp clenched his teeth "should have protected our captain better".

Everyone told him it was not his fault, and it was nothing he could have predicted anyway, it was of little comfort to the sniper.

"…damn our shitty good willed captain" Sanji murmured closing his eyes. The very reason they loved him so much was his downfall after all.

"so Brook took out the bastard very quickly before he could do anymore damage and then we bounded him with ropes, so he couldn't use his hands… I think that's how he manipulates minds, by touching the forehead… so please being careful around that bastard". Usopp added.

The crew was mad before, but now they were furious, now that they knew Luffy's condition was consequence of their captain is good heart and faith in people. They knew how much Luffy respected people's personal treasures, and they didn't have any doubt that when he heard of the old man's dilemma, he sincerely felt bad about it. That his trust and heart was betrayed like that was unforgivable.

Chopper then explained that Luffy started to trash and scream after being attacked, he kept screaming to stop it, to stop as he was in so much pain, but they couldn't get a hold on him, he was acting like a mad man. That is when Usopp sent Chopper (the faster runner of all in reindeer form) to go get the others, because frankly, they didn't knew what else to do or how to control Luffy in the state he was. As the hours went by before the crew reached them the captain had quieted down, possibly a consequence of being exhausted and his instable mental state.

That night was very long for the whole crew, after reaching the Sunny they put Luffy on the infirmary, and even with Chopper's heavy medication he kept muttering and tears would fall from his closed eyes.

They tied the old man to the main mast for it at least would keep him quiet while they thought of what to do next. The crew except Chopper and Robin were in the kitchen, tired stares, silent, thinking, worried, the atmosphere was tick, a heavy cloud of smoke in the ceiling, Sanji couldn't stop popping one smoke after another, endless wait. Franky had been explained the situation, and had cried with emotion about their captain's good heart, by now the cyborg had a frown on his face.

Robin appeared with a grim face "I found it… follow me please" She held a book in her hands, and walked outside the deck to the main mast.

She opened the book in a specific place, a fruit shaped like a giant peach with patterns was drawn in the book "Omoi Omoi no Mi, is that right" she said firmly, showing the picture to the native. "You eat this, tell me!"

The man nodded "I found fruit when I was boy, and then I got magic, and village make me shaman"

Magic of course, Robin thought, people living in such secluded areas wouldn't know what an Akuma no Mi ability was.

"Is… as I feared… " Robin turned to face the rest of the crew "It says on this book that this ability gives the power to manipulate minds, memories, fears, nightmares, and shatter the mind in such a way that would be impossible to put it back together, every victim of this ability… eventually…"

She couldn't bring herself to say it, as dark as Robin's persona was, she loved Luffy too much (as in a small brotherly kind of love). She took her hand to her mouth to cover a sob and Sanji jumped instantly to her side. All courtship and chivalry pretense lost in that moment, he just hugged her to try and give her some comfort, like a true friend was meant to do.

"I refuse to think that Luffy can't get over this!" Zoro yelled in rage. "Are you fucking telling me that he is that weak? Have you no faith in our captain at all! I'm ashamed!" He screamed to the rest of his crew. They all looked as if Luffy had already passed away or something. He felt disturbed, seeing Luffy down, crying and weak was unnatural, it wasn't right, but he was not about to lose faith in him.

The native smiled "Me tell you, his mind broken, this not about strong men, weak man, broken mind not fight, no can fight"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Sanji screamed kicking the shaman in the face. The man was out cold instantly.

"Great Sanji-kun, just great! Now we can't get any more information out of him!" Nami said frustrated, a little more harshly than she intended.

"Sorry… Nami-san…" Sanji apologized feeling ashamed at his actions.

"So… what do we do now?" Usopp asked the question nobody dared making, all eyes turned to the first mate. Zoro made a tch noise and scratched his head furiously "The hell if I know! For now we just wait for Luffy to pull himself together!"

And then he turned in the direction of the men's quarters and disappeared closing the door with such rage than he made the hinges tremble, it was fortunate that Sunny was made with Adam wood, or else such force would have shattered the door frame.

After long hours the waiting and worrying was taking its toll on the crew, and little by little everyone fell asleep. Having cooled off Zoro had returned to deck and was currently sleeping in a sitting position more usual for naps than for night rest. Sanji was with his head on the dining room table, a bunch of used cigarettes consumed around him. Robin was on the crow's nest, still awake with a cup of coffee on her hand. Chopper had been all night changing wet rags on Luffy's forehead, in an effort to keep his fever down and make him more comfortable.

Usopp was asleep next of the infirmary's door, as if he was a guardian of some sort. Franky was busy in his workshop, trying to release the frustration he felt with endless hammering with no avail. Brook felt like writing a sad melody, but instead choose to escape to the library and no amount of tea helped him calm his nerves… even if he didn't have any nerves to begin with…

And strangely enough, Nami was sitting in front of the knocked up native, her clima tact tucked in the crook of her neck. She kept nodding off but found the determination to keep awake.

Suddenly a bloody scream racked the whole ship.

"YAMERO BASTARD! GIVE THEM BACK! YOU PAWED FREAK!" Luffy's bloody scream got the whole crew awake and running towards the infirmary in a few seconds.

"Shit!" They heard Chopper scream; he was in his Heavy Point form and was trying to restraint Luffy as much as he could. The captain was trashing wildly.

"FUCK YOU PAWED BASTARD! GIMME BACK MY NAKAMA!" Luffy kept screaming wildly, by now his arms had knocked most of the stuff in Chopper's office.

"HELP ME!" Chopper said gritting his teeth "The medicine wore off sooner than I expected!"

Sanji and Zoro grabbed Luffy by his arms and legs, not without getting punched first,

"You bastard! What did you do to them!"
It was obvious what he was dreaming about. Sabaody archipelago was still a taboo topic for the crew, nobody spoke of their utter defeat, and nobody asked who went after whom. The only person that knew Luffy was the last man standing was Robin and she was not about to share the horrible memories she had of his captain's desperate cries as each crew member disappeared. She could only guess how he felt when everyone was gone. She had to guess no more, she was experiencing the real thing, right now.

"Hurry up Chopper, he is too damn strong!" Sanji said with sweat on his forehead.

Chopper just injected more sedatives on his trashing patient and a minute later Luffy was muttering, tears quietly falling from his closed eyes.

"Damn it" Chopper said desperate "I have to give him strong dosages of this stuff to keep him quiet! A normal person's heart would be stopped by now with this much!"

"He can handle it!" Zoro said firmly.

"Don't you understand?" Chopper screamed at the swordsman "He has a high fever and he isn't really resting right now! His mind is working somehow and I can't induce him to sleep, I have tried to but it isn't working! And even if we don't hear him scream or trash about, he IS suffering! Nobody can stand this much for a long time, not even…!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Zoro screamed, making the doctor shut his mouth before finishing the sentence.

The swordsman tried to calm down "We trust you Chopper". With just four words he was making the weight on Chopper's small shoulders even more unbearable. Before the doctor could say something Zoro got out the room, and disappeared pushing away the rest of his questioning crewmates.

"Let me help you Chopper" Usopp offered while picking up glass and debris that had been broken by the captain's wild trashing.

The native had woke up too and Nami didn't waste any time to sit in front of him.

"Please… whatever he did.. he doesn't deserve this… He is stupid and inconsiderate, and rash… but he is not a bad person… please… believe me" Nami wasn't ashamed of this admission; she just wanted help, any help.

The man said nothing, Nami started talking again "… he is a very good person… even if he is kind of idiotic… he cares about people, whatever the offence I don't think he would have killed that god of yours if he knew it was important… please help me save him" tears fell quietly from her eyes.

"You carry skull with bones… you are bad people"

Nami thought about the words and figured he was speaking about their Jolly Roger "Yes we are pirates but we don't mean to harm innocent people, that's Luffy's way… "

"Skull with bones people killed people of my village many seasons ago, took woman by force, carried away young ones to their boats" the man said accusingly.

"Have we done any of that? Even after what you did to our captain?" Nami fought back.

The man was left without words "You not bad people, that demon woman no harmed child, you put fire away".

"Then… please help him… and then we can find a way to help you guys and repair whatever damage we done, but… help us"

"no help, I was telling truth, no man beat darkness alone"

The man just looked away.

Nami clenched her teeth, got up and without turning back got into the woman's quarters, she quietly closed the door in the dark room, and then, with her back pressed against the door started to cry while sliding slowly to the floor.

"…Luffy…" she whispered, tears falling from her eyes.

Poor Luffy! My inspiration for this fic? My boyfriend was watching Ace's death (AGAIN) while I was writing this and I had Luffy's screams in the background as my 'muse'.

Poor Luffy!

Don't worry I'm 2-3 chapters ahead and have everything planned out

so did you like it? Hate it?

You think the straw hats are I,C?

let me know please!
