Chapter Eight

Rescue

Many of the men were worried about Whitebeard and asking him to stay and they would go. Whitebeard shook his head no "Sorry if I lost any of you it would hurt me too much. The girl Rena is a good kid. She is strong and was loyal to her crew. She does not deserve to die the way they are going to kill her. When we met her, she could use her powers. To have taken many of you out but didn't she used her powers to get her men to safety." He looked down at Ace 'she means a lot to you, Ace. I will not let her die.'

Marco was told by many of the men to keep Pops safe. Soon they were in the dingy and being lowered into the water. It was easy to see that Ace was ready for action. "Look Ace, it might be better for you to find Marine clothes and find her cell and free her while we cause distraction." Marco said looking at Ace.

Ace nodded while looking ahead 'don't worry Rena I will save you.'

(Scene Break)

Rena couldn't move she was chained with a table with the special metal to drain her powers. She felt a fist hitting her in the face over and over and then the beating sticks hitting her, "tell us what marine info you gave away." The man yelled at her.

"Nothing I did not give any marine info away." She screamed out in pain. She was tied to the table.

The man looked to one of the other men and told them to bring the wet wash cloth. They looked down at her and could see a scared look in her eyes. As she looked terrified as she tried to avoid having her mouth and nose covered. The man nodded and looked at her eyes as the look of fear became more. They started to pour water on her face making her feel as she was drowning. Rena started moving trying to get free but the shackles make her weak so she could do nothing. When they stopped they asked her again.

"I told them nothing." She said to the point she was about to cry.

The man took a pole and smashed her right leg. He watched her bite down on her lips to keep the scream from coming out.

She was now crying, "Good, we're now getting somewhere." The man said with a cruel grin.

Rena felt the wash cloth covering her again and tried to get loose as they poured the water on her face to the point she could barley take it. It had been three weeks of this her body was bruised and her right leg was broken and her ribs were broken. She got here at the begging of the month and only had a week left till she was killed. She was to the point looking forward to her death. She was gagging as they stopped.

"What did you whisper to the man who is a Spades Pirate?"

"I told him I Love him."

"Lies you gave him information and we want to know what it is." He started the water board again, and to the point they were beating her at the same time. Soon the ground started to shake. The men looked worried, "It's nothing now get back to work." He said as he pulled out a cord that had sparks coming out of the end. He smiled down at her as he stabbed her with it. She could feel the electricity going through her body. He did this for some time then went back to the water board.

(Scene Break)

Marco had gone in with Ace and they cut the wires. They were also dressed as marines and went and got Whitebeard and brought him in. Ace over heard where they had taken Rena and became pale when they mentioned that they were giving her daily torture round.

Marco held Ace's shoulder "Lets just find her then you can beat people up."

Ace nodded and kept walking.

"Tell me what you told the Pirate of Spades. What did you tell their Captain?" The man yelled at her and slapped her and had them stop the water. He pushed his hand on her broken leg. Causing her to scream out in pain.

She was screaming her voice was horse "I TOLD HIM I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM! AUGHHHH!" she yelled out in pain.

"Lies what did you say?"

"I LOVE HIM!"

Ace heard her screams from down the hall then heard her yelling out I love him…. He ran forward but Whitebeard arrived at the door at the same time.

Rena looked up to see the guards falling to the ground then felt the ground shake. Rena did not know what to think of what was going on. She saw the door open as the man swung a punch again hitting her across the face she did not get to see who walked in.

Ace saw the man strike Rena across the face and sent a fire ball at the man burning him to a crisp. While Marco took the other men out with ease. Ace ran over to Rena worried 'she does not look good. How could they do this to her?' he thought to himself. As he got over he saw her eyes starting to close. "Rena, wake up you can't."

"Ace, is that you?" Rena let out a whisper her voice was in a lot of pain from all the screaming she had done the past month.

"Yeah it is me. I am here to take you to safety."

"Ace I just love you. I love you…. I'm sorry…." She said the last part as her eyes closed. Ace only heard that she loves him. Rena was now out cold from all the pain, Ace at first freaked out till Marco told him she was just out cold and would be healed on the ship.

"We need to find her key start looking." Ace nodded and after a few minutes they found it. Ace went to Rena and freed her. He picked her up very carefully looking down at her he could tell she went through so much. Marco walked over after taking the jacket off of one of the Marines and helped Ace wrap her up in it. Walking over to Whitebeard looked at Rena and nodded towards them, as they started to leave. Ace noticed how they were avoiding looking at Rena, since how beaten and broken she looks.

Whitebeard looked back at Ace for a moment. How could they do this to their own, they saw the damage done to Rena since they only had her wearing a bra and underwear. They could see that Rena's right leg was broken, she had bruises all over her body, her ribs were broken and parts of her body were burnt. She had cuts also on her body she looked like a mess. Then them doing the drowning technique. He shook his head, as he walked out leading out of there. He started to fight the men but it did not take much to do. Since it was Whitebeard's Lucky day since the Vice Admiral was busy being at another city for the past three weeks. He left after Rena was captured to do work and was to return in two days.

The fight was simple most Marines were scared of him. He started to use his powers from the devil fruit to bring down key hallways and keep them from following them.

Ace was holding Rena bridal style trying to keep her from getting hurt. Marco was helping keep the men away.

They soon made it back to their ship, Whitebeard yelled for the doctors and nurses. Who ran over to him and he waved them off. "Help the girl."

They ran over and the doctor pulled off the jacket which allowed the crew to get a full view of Rena. The crew gasped not able to believe that the marines did that to their own. They knew they had done things to pirates when they are captured but to a fellow marine. "I need you to follow me Ace to a room." Another doctor was telling the nurses to go get certain supplies. Ace walked into a room and looked down at Rena's face the memory of her telling him she love's him was still ringing in his head. He laid her down softly on the bed only to get thrown out by the nurse a moment later. Whitebeard ordered all of his other doctors and nurses to help the girl.
