Chapter 4

Zolo turned the running water of the shower off and left it dripping softly like the summer rain that had just passed. Luffy, however, got out the shower and quickly dried him self. He got dressed and put his straw hat on.

"Leave now Luffy!" Trace commanded and Luffy obeyed with out question. This left Zolo and Trace alone. Zolo got dressed as swift as a swimming penguin and stood staring at Trace. Trace stared back.

"How dare you do that to my brother you bastard!" Trace yelled. "I'm disgusted at you and never thought it capable of either of you!" he quickly followed.

"Luffy did consent Trace and he asked me in the first place if I wanted to have sex with him," Zolo replied.

"You little liar!" Trace screamed.

Trace lifted up his hands. They immediately caught fire and burnt at 128 degrees C. He lifted them up and then sharply pointed at Zolo. The fire left his fingers and hit Zolo square in the chest. This knocked him to the floor.

Trace then stepped forward and took off the piece of rope he was using as a belt. He cut it in to 4 equal pieces and tied Zolo's arms and mouth with 3 of the lengths. He then used the last piece to whip Zolo with and the rope hit Zolo around the face 3 times leaving red marks.

Trace was not happy with this minimal damage and hit Zolo with it a lot harder. This time it drew blood and he did this repeatedly. Zolo's face was covered in blood and the pain blinded him. Trace then moved closer to Zolo and dug his heel into his rib cage. Shattering 10 of his ribs.

Zolo was mentally numb and just wanted to die. He knew he would but he wanted it to come soon than it would.

Trace then pulled from his pocket a glove with claws on the end of the fingers. He walked up to Zolo and dug them into his eyes. After a few minutes Trace pulled forward and gauged one of Zolo's eye's out. Trace then used this a bouncy ball and threw it against the wall. He did this for a short time then unsuspectingly turned round and slashed Zolo with his claws. This latest devastating attack nearly ripped Zolo's leg off but instead it was left dangling on a piece of skin.

Trace then thought the torture was enough and stabbed Zolo with his own sword. This however didn't kill him and Trace knew it.

"So, you wont be killed by your own sword. Well maybe this will do it!" Trace said calmly but with a powerful sound to his voice.

He raised his hand and let out a ball of fire that burned Zolo alive. The last thing Luffy heard of Zolo was his desperate cries of pain after what Trace had done.

Trace however was happy because now the deed was done.
