Chapter 2

Narrator's POV

It was close to one in the morning and none of Newgate's children had found Dragon's brat yet. The man in question, even if he did not show it, was becoming worried. Although he did not know the brat it would still be troublesome if something happened to him.

And as the minutes began to tick away his children began to return to him. All of which empty handed.

It was nearing four when Newgate decided he would head out to search for the boy himself, despite to protests coming from his nurses. Though he was still waiting to hear word from his sons who had yet to return. Marco and Thatch, Izo and Haruta along with Ace and Sabo had neither group returned yet nor reported in.

He could understand if it had only been Ace, but Sabo was always with his twin to make sure the commander didn't do anything too irresponsible. The same goes for Thatch. The careless fourth division commander always had Marco the overprotective first division commander to keep him in line.

Though that didn't explain the situation with Izo and Haruta. Neither child was known for being responsible to the point where they were like Marco but they did know when and how to act.

The whole situation was rather unsettling for Newgate. It was like a bad feeling that slowly started surfacing over the passing of time.

Newgate had finally giving in and was about to head out when he was stopped by a call. Marco on the other end of the line had called saying that they had found the boy and were returning home with the brat in tow.

Though he was not specific about the situation just knowing that his children were safe was enough for Newgate. Though the unsettling feeling swelling up within him had not been washed away so easily.

The tension was thick between the small group of six, plus one, and everyone was on edge because gradually both cars were nearing the Moby Dick, Whitebeard's home base. It was only a matter of time before they arrived and with their arrival came the explanation of Monkey D. Luffy's situation. It was obvious someone had to be the bearer of bad news, but the question lied with who.

Maybe Sabo? No, that wouldn't work. The second division co-command was needed to keep Luffy calm. And Sabo's brother was busy helping him, so that took Ace out of the picture as well.

Though that didn't make much of a difference seeing as Ace would only push the task on someone else. Luffy himself was defiantly not an option. The boy was scarred enough, no reason to make him relive what happened to him earlier for a second time.

Thatch was like Ace and would defiantly push the problem onto Marco. So in the end it was between Marco, Izo and Haruta. Though the three were rather wise in their decision to share the weight of the burden. This way if someone could not continue they could switch out with the hardest parts being left to Marco. Though things are always easier said than done.

Izo's Pov

We had arrived back in the comfort of our base, the Moby Dick, yet the tension was so high that our usually cheerful base was anything but. All I wanted to do at the moment was head straight for my room and stay there hoping to avoid this whole situation entirely. Though it seems that was not one of my options at the moment.

I was standing in front of my fellow commanders and captain, with Haruta on my right and Marco standing next to Oyaji's chair on his left. I mentally cursed both Ace and Sabo for managing to get out of this undesired situation by taking care of the brat.

Clearing my throat to get the attention of everyone in the room I began to explain "As you all know we found Dragon's boy, though not without casualty." I was off to a good start but the attentive eyes constantly staring had me nervous.

This was ridiculous. I could kill a man I cold blood without so much as flinching, but I cannot talk about a fourteen year old boy getting raped without breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Dragon's boy, Monkey D. Luffy, was found in an abandoned bury being…held by a group of men." Not knowing how to go about explaining Luffy's situation to the others I looked towards my right to Haruta for assistance. Haruta in turn looked towards Marco, who had closed his eyes and sighed after seeing Haruta's desperation.

It was tie to face the music and tell everyone what actually happened. Of course, that would just happen to be Marco's job at this point. Yes, as cowardly as that move may have been it was all up to Macro now.

Narrator's Pov

"He was raped." Marco had broken the news to everyone as blunt and straight forward as possible. And before anyone had the chance to interrupt him he continued. "When we found the kid we saw him being mounted by two men and groped by four others." An uncomfortable silence followed Marco's statements as everyone began to take in what he had said.

Seconds began to tick away at after what felt like a century Oyaji began to speak. Though, before he could a scream was heard shattering the unbearable silence like glass and putting everyone on alert. The scream was unmistakably that of the young boy Monkey D. Luffy.
