"Go get me something to drink you stupid bitch!" Says the voice that the oldest of the three Boa sisters had come to hate over the course of the last year.
The voice belonged to Saint Aidan, he was the son of a Celestial Dragon. Because of his social status he thought himself above everyone that was not a world noble.
She hated serving him not just because of his stuck-up attitude or he was four years younger than her, her being 13. She hated him because he was cruel and vicious much like his father. She used to be a proud warrior of the Kuja Pirates, but that had all changed in the blink of an eye.
Hancock and her sisters Marigold and Sandersonia had wandered too far from the rest of the Kuja Pirates. That proved to be a big mistake, as they came across the hideout to a group of mountain bandits. The bandits overpowered the boa sisters, with their strange abilities that Hancock had now come to realize were devil fruits.
The three sisters proved no match for the bandits and their devil fruit abilities. They were quickly overpowered and taken hostage. After that a series of events led to them being sold to the highest bidder at an auction house.
After that their life was a living hell, they had been bought Celestial Dragons. They were purchased by a Celestial Dragon known as Saint Dorian. He put the young girls through horrible tortures, including using a hot iron to burn their mark into the soft flesh on the backs of the young girls. They said that the marks were there to forever remind the girls of their status as slaves, as if the large metal collar wasn't enough already.
They were force-fed devil fruits and then pitted against other slaves for the amusement of their captors. Marigold and Sandrasonia were lucky as if they had gotten fruits that allowed them to fight, Hancock wasn't so lucky. Her devil fruit gave her the ability to turn people to stone, while it was a useful ability. The world nobles found it useless, because she could end the battles with no bloodshed.
Since she proved useless to their sick little battle game, she had instead been given to his nine-year-old one year ago as a gift for his 8th birthday. That is where she found herself now serving a nine year old boy. He treated her like she was nothing more than an animal. He made her do all sorts of humiliating things.
"Did you hear me you stupid bitch? I said go get me something to drink!"
"Yes my lord!" Hancock says holding back her urge to beat the fuck out her captor.
She quietly walks out of her master's room while cursing him under her breath. She knew where everything was in the mansion that had become her prison. She is looking down at the ground as she is lost in her hateful thoughts. She is so lost in thought that she doesn't notice someone in front of her path until it's too late.
She smacks right into a person who was walking down the hall in the opposite direction. "Whoa there careful miss, watch where you are going or you might hurt yourself." Says a male voice.
'Something is off ' Hancock thinks to herself if the person was of her masters they would cursing her and hitting her, but the person wasn't doing either. This only meant one thing: she had bumped into a fellow slave.
She looks up to see a young man that looked to be about her age, if not a bit older. As Hancock stared at him, she could feel herself being drawn to his facial features. He has short brown hair, with bangs that stop before obscuring his eyes. They were a bright blue color, almost as blue as the ocean itself. Hancock found herself getting lost in his eyes as she stared up at them.
" Sorry I… I wasn't watching where I was going," Hancock says. "I have a lot on my mind."
"That's okay, I'm Sora."
"I'm Hancock."
"It's very nice to meet you Hancock but, I think we should both get back to working before our masters lose their patience."
"Yea… It was nice meeting you too."
"Meet tonight in the gardens and you can tell me all about what's on your mind, deal?"
"Why should I? You could use that opportunity to defile me?"
"I understand your concern given our situation, but I would never under any circumstance defile a woman. Especially one as beautiful as you are."
Hancock quickly puts her head down so that Sora won't see her blush. "Goodbye Sora, see you tonight."
"Yes see you tonight Hancock."
Hancock then continues her walk to Kitchen. The kitchen was a busy place. Slaves, running back and forth cooking all kinds of various dishes for their Noble Masters. The smell of food was so strong, that all the smells ran together into one coherently amazing smell. She quickly gets a nice cold cup of iced tea for her master, knowing that it was his favorite. Hancock then exits the kitchen only to see a sight that repulsed her every time. A sight that showed how truly fucked up the world nobles were.
" Out of the way, slave!" Says the Saint Dorian. But the cruel Celestial Dragon was not what caught the young Kuja's eye. It was the leash that he was holding or rather what was at the end of it. The noble had two girls at the end of said leashes. Both were wearing clothes so tattered they might as well have been naked. The clothes did almost nothing to hide their dignity. It was made worse by the fact the girls were being forced to crawl on all fours like a dog.
She had seen these girls before, and every time she had seen them they had always been like this. Still though Hancock couldn't help but feel sorry for the girls as both of them were very beautiful and their beauty showed despite their tattered and dirty appearances. The girl on the left was a beautiful brunette with bright green eyes. The girl on the right had bright blue eyes and beautiful Crimson colored hair. Both girls had bodies most girls would kill to have.
It appalled Hancock that these poor girls were being treated like common household pets, but she knew speaking out would mean punishment or worse she might share their fate.
Once Saint Dorian passed, Hancock returned to her master with the iced tea. " About fucking time you worthless bitch! I asked for that damn drink ages ago, while you took your sweet fucking time. "
The rest of the day went by rather slowly, as Hancock found herself anticipating her meeting with Sora. She went about doing various tasks for her master but her mind was on Sora. Eventually the time of a meeting had come. Normally once her master was asleep she would go to the slave quarters, but instead she slipped off to the gardens.
When she arrives, she looks around to see Sora is already here. He is sitting on a bench that faced away from her. She was still a little bit hesitant about him, but quietly walked up and sat on the bench. "Glad you could make it, Hancock!"
"Yes… I made it." Was all she could muster.
"So Hancock tell me about yourself?"
"W-what w-would you like to k-n-now?"
"You sound nervous,you need to relax. You have nothing to fear from me. Take a deep breath and relax."
Hancock takes Sora's advice and slowly breaths in and then breaths out. She does this a few times until she feels calm. "I used to be a proud Kuja warrior. "
Hancock then proceeds to tell Sora about the day her and her sisters were captured. How they have been force-fed devil fruits and how she came to be in the service of her stupid nine-year-old master.
" These sisters of yours, you said they turn into snakes right?"
"Yes, why?"
"If their names are Sandersonia and Marigold, then I know them. They are the champion fighters of their masters. Sandersonia is the champion of Saint Rosward, and Marigold is the champion of saint Jalmack."
"My sisters are alive! I'm so glad I thought they would be killed!"
"Yes, I don't see them dying anytime soon. I have even fought Sandrasonia a few times, if Marigold is as strong as she is, I'm sure they won't be going down anytime soon. "
Hancock was relieved that her sisters were alive, it was the first good news she had gotten in a long while. But then a thought occurred to her," Sora!"
"Yes Hancock?"
"You said you fought Sanda, right?"
"Yes, I did and to answer your question yes I am a pit fighting slave."
"Does that mean you have a devil fruit ability?"
Sora nods as he bares his teeth, which Hancock saw nothing wrong with. "Why are you showing me your teeth Sora?"
He opens his mouth slightly wider and that's when she notices a pair of fangs replacing two of his front teeth,"fangs?"
"Yes the fruit I ended up eating was the mythical zoan Hito Hito no Mi :Vampire Model."
A vampire? Wait does that mean you dragged me out here just to feed on me?"
"No, if I need to feed I only do it to people I'm fighting in the arena, even then I never kill them."
" So are you weak to garlic and not able to go in the sunlight?"
"Sunlight does not affect me and as for being weak to garlic I don't know. I have not come across it since eating the fruit."
"I see! Well it probably wouldn't be a good idea to test that. But anyway I am curious about something else. How did you become a slave?"
Yes well, mine is not quite as glamorous as yours. I didn't used to be some kind of powerful Warrior. My parents were Merchant sailors, about 6 months ago we were attacked by Pirates. The Pirates killed my father, and raped my mother."
"They raped your mother! How appalling!"
Yes, and after they had their fun with her, they killed her as well. However did nothing to me and my older sister, because we were young and healthy as they put it they sold us to slavers. We were then sold to the Celestial Dragons. When we came into their possession I was force-fed a devil fruit, and forced to fight for the amusement of our masters."
"My sister on the other hand suffered a different fate. I'm sure you've probably seen her, she is the red-haired girl that Saint Dorian treats like a pet. Her name is Lysithea, but he calls her everything else but that."
Now Hancock felt really bad for Sora as well as for her sister. " Oh my God, I saw those girls earlier today and felt so bad for them. Being a slave, means to be treated the lowest of the low. But those girls have it the worst of all, to Saint Dorian those girls are nothing but common household pets. I'm sorry Sora, I wish I could find a way to help your sister. I really do."
"It's okay Hancock, and I appreciate your concern. But I know my sister won't give up, she told me something when we got sold to the world Nobles. That no matter what happens, no matter what these Noble pigs do to us, that we mustn't lose hope."
"Your sister is a wise woman."
"Yes I suppose she is. Hancock, promise you will never give up."
Hancock found herself, wanting to trust Sora. In the short time she had been talking to him she already felt like she had more hope then she had in a long time." I promise, Sora."
