Title: I'll get even
Chapter 20 : Unwanted memories
"Just wonderful, I had a feeling this might happen," Rinka mumbled sarcastically to herself.
A smirk appeared on the mysterious man's face ." Hi my name is Aiden and I ate the dream-dream fruit. And I became a person who can either make people have good or bad dreams... And the best part of this devil fruit is I can also make their dreams come to reality as well. I can't wait to show everyone's nightmares to one another, especially yours,Trafalgar Law who is also known as 'Surgeon of Death' and You,"
He then pointed at the swordswoman. "Scarlet knight Rinka, as well."
As soon as he was done explaining his devil fruit abilities and plans, he suddenly disappeared and the fog began to thicken from where the man used to be standing. Rinka already knew what was going on at his point. The only question now was whose dream would be displayed first. They all stopped and looked around as the fog thickened and then disappeared. They were now someplace completely different. Now they were in some sort of rundown house with some mean-looking people that had wine bottles in the both of their hands. Beside the couple were 2 boys around the age of 9 or 10 and had bruises all over their small bodies.
"You good for nothing, you 2 should just die. No one will ever love such worthless boys like you guys!" A man angrily shouted at them. Rinka looked to her side and realized immediately whose dream it was. The only 2 with different expressions from the others were Penguin and Shachi. They both clench their fists and gritted their teeth.
Rinka put both of her hands on their shoulders and gave them a serious but more of a comforting look. "I know this is hard, but just look away if it is too much , me and everyone else won't judge you guys if you do."
Penguin and Shachi glance at their younger self for a little bit more and then they both turn completely around and stare down at the ground as the others watch their nightmare or rather terrible flashback.
"Just kill yourself already you pieces of shits!" A man shouted at the much younger Penguin and Shachi. "Yeah, no one will miss you 2..!" A woman added.
After that dream was over they were all back in reality.
Penguin and Shachi had already turned back to the rest of the group and they stood there just staring into the distance.
"Looks like the next dream is coming up," Rinka mentioned as the fog began to thicken once again. This time they reappeared in the forest at night. And there was a small polar bear that was crying on another polar bear that had sunglasses and a soul patch. The bigger polar bear was all bloody and beaten up, kinda like if he just been killed .
"Zepo," Bepo muttered quietly under his breath with a few tears escaping from his eyes. This one went over pretty quickly and Bepo shivered.
"I really miss him," he mumbled and Rinka patted his back sympathetically.
"It's okay, it was only a bad dream, it's not real," she said.
After that the group started moving again and before they knew it they were engulfed in fog. Then suddenly the scene changed into a dark and small cell that had a very young boy chain to the wall as well. Rinka looked behind and realized immediately whose dream it was. Lucas had a horrified look on his face and was touching his back slightly as well. A man wearing a full-body white suit that resembles a spacesuit with buttons on it, and had a green collar, and a resin bubble on top.
The man was holding a long metal rod that had been laying on a fireplace. He then pressed the hot metal onto the little boy's small back, the brand shape was the exact same symbol as the "Hoof Of The Flying Dragon." Then the scene suddenly changed and the same boy who was just branded and who looked to be a little bit older, was now being whipped around by a celestial dragon .
"You were a slave?!" Rinka asks Lucas with widened eyes. Rinka couldn't believe it, Lucas was so nice and fun to hang around with, she would have never believed or even guessed in a million years that Lucas was ever a slave. Not just any slave but a slave to one of the celestial dragons. The terrible dream then ends.
Lucas only nodded, without saying a single peep.
The fog engulfed them again. And this time the group appeared in a small town in the middle of the night. The houses around them were on fire and the town was a complete mess.
A blond man around 27 or 29 years old was carrying a small girl on his back.
But after the 2 ran around the burning town for about 5 minutes
"Bang!" A loud shot made a loud echo. Both her and the man had suddenly collapsed on the ground with blood coming from their backs.
Rinka had a pretty good idea of who the nightmare belonged to. She put a hand onto Logan's back and gave him a comforting smile.
When the fog began to thicken once again. Penguin, Shachi , Bepo , Lucas , and Logan glanced over to Rinka and Law. They were the only ones left. The 5 had wondered what their captain would actually have a nightmare about.
The fog cleared up and the group appeared in an unfamiliar place, for all but one of them. Rinka clenched her own fists because she knew this was her dream.
The area where the group had just appeared was in a room that had a big fancy bed and what lay in the bed was a pale-looking boy with red hair and dark purple eyes. A complete contrast to Rinka's hair and eye color. But what really sparked the curiosity of the Heart Pirates was that the boy's facial features were pretty similar to a certain purple hair swordswoman, kinda like if they were related.
"Where the hell are you, Aiden! You had your fun for long enough...Now reveal yourself now or suffer a lot more painful death!?" Rinka shouted in anger, not wanting her crewmates to see this. They can't find out her true inheritance, not now or ever, she will keep that secret to her grave.
She looked back at her younger self that was now snuggling next to her older brother. At first her child self seemed fine - laying with her brother and listening to stories about their father- all was still okay. But the sweet moment didn't last too long, the adorable scene of the 2 siblings was now replaced by a little girl crying while getting beat up by a woman that was almost an identical twin to what Rinka looks like right now. The only difference between the woman and Rinka was their eye color, the woman had light green eyes while Rinka's eye color was a bright shade of red.
"You're supposed to be perfect, you are my own flesh and blood after all. But why did the gods curse me with such a terrible and worthless daughter like you! Are you trying to ruin the family's status?! When I saw you hanging around with peasants that you consider as friends, that's when I realized that you really are cursed. " The woman shouted to the much younger Rinka. "Please mama, I'm sorry!"Rinka cried out.
"You are nothing more than a freak, the eyes of a demon is truly a kid that I would never love . When I first lay eyes at your hideous eye color, I knew you were going to be a troublesome child. You should be grateful that I decided to even keep your worthless ass! You're nothing more than a curse, it's your fault my husband died and it's your fault that your brother is dying right now! I hate you!" The woman shouted again.
The beating scene changed and the younger Rinka was now crying next to her older brother.
"Did mom hurt you again?"the boy asked his little sister.
"Aaron please don't die, please don't leave me alone with mother. I don't like her that much, she is mean and not nice. Promise me you will get better." A very young Rinka pleaded to her very sick older brother. The boy patted his baby sister's head and gave her a warm comforting smile. "Don't worry, I am never going to leave you."
The scene changed again and this time Rinka was kneeling on her big brother's gravestone with tears running down her face.
"Everyone, look away and cover your ears! Whoever listens to this conversation I will personally kill you myself! " Rinka ordered or rather pleaded with the group of pirates.
Everyone did what they were told, even Law covered his ears but didn't look away.
Then suddenly the same woman who was a spitting image of Rinka was talking to a man who was wearing a white lab coat.
The younger Rinka was standing outside of the room and was listening to their conversation. After a little time had passed, the younger Rinka's eyes widened then tears began to drip down from her face.
The scene of the crying Rinka was soon replaced by a little girl wearing a long dark cloak, now running in the forest while it was thundering and lightning.
After the little girl made it to the docks, she soon hopped on a ship that was about to set sail. The dream wasn't over yet though. In nightmares like this you need nothing but hope to build up again so that it can be repeatedly demolished, so that's exactly what happened next. Rinka and Law watched as Rinka's younger self was soon discovered by the pirates that she tried to stowaway with.
The pirates began to grin wickedly at the small girl right before putting her into a large cell. And then they were taking turns to either punch or kick the poor girl into nothing more than a bloody pulp. After the younger Rinka was on the brink of death, a woman had suddenly appeared in front of her cell. The woman looked to be in her late 40s and was wearing an iron chestplate and metal gloves. The older woman holds out her hand for Rinka while giving the small girl a warm comforting smile.
At that moment, hope started to build up with the introduction of someone very close to Rinka, Phyllis.
Before Rinka's small hand could make contact with the older woman. "Boom!" There was a big explosion and both of them were now laying on a small piece of driftwood together. Keeping the properties of a dream, some real events were skipped up until the point that was supposed to be to celebrate one's birth. But instead of eating cake and spending time with her friends and family she was in a full-on war with one of the Yonko's pirate crew.
Malachite revealed that he was the traitor. Rinka was being pinned down by Kaido's underlings; "Jack the drought" appeared with 2 swords in both of his hands. Then Rinka's face was covered by her own master's blood after Jack did the finishing blow.
The dream dispersed into nothingness and they were back in reality.
"Was that really your nightmare?" Law questioned while turning to Rinka. It was obvious already but he was hoping to get a clearer explanation of what just happened.
Rinka had already turned back to the rest and she stood there just staring into the distance. "Yeah," she answered.
It was silent for a few seconds before Rinka snapped back to her old self. "Before I met Phyllis...I used to live with my biological family. But after my older brother died because of his illness, I decided to run away from home because he was the only family member I actually liked. I hated my biological mother and my father died before I was even born."
"But did your mom actually use a whip on you at such a young age?"Penguin asked with a hint of worry in his voice. She only nodded her head in response.
She then started explaining her dream again. "After I accidentally hopped on a pirate ship rather than on a cargo ship or something like that. The pirate captain and his crew members took turns to beat and taunt me with food and I had to live like that for an entire week. But in some weird way I am also grateful to be on that pirate ship. Because that is also how I met Phyllis, my cool and awesome big sister. "
She said while trying to smile it off.
"So I guess your dream is next?" Rinka exclaimed to Law with a quiet tone.
Law gripped his nodachi and his face showed nothing but pure disgust and hate for the scene that he knew was about to play out in front of them. She then noticed how his eyes wandered to his own left as where the other 5 stood in curiosity . It was clear to her that it bothered him. For his underlings to see the one thing that would actually bother him to this extent was something he couldn't let slide. They already knew that he was from Flevance and of his previous affiliation with Donquixote pirates, but he never explained his past in great detail to them.
Rinka had a good idea about how bad Law's dream is and knew how much his dream will affect the respect of his crewmates to him. No matter how curious Rinka was to witness what truly scared her captain the most, she decided to do him this one favor for him. But he will owe her big time for this one. Rinka closed her eyes and concentrated her observation haki to seek out the enemy. While the dream played on, Rinka still had her eyes closed and still tried to search for the bastard who was doing this.
"There!" She muttered to herself right before she left the group. Being too focused on his nightmare he didn't even notice that Rinka had suddenly left the group.
He looked back to the ever-so white town as his younger self came into view. At first his child self seemed fine- playing with his sister and the other kids from the school- all was still okay. But the happiness didn't last for long. Fires started, marines arrived, and skin turned to the color of the town in an instant. Before the nightmare could continue the fog cleared up completely.
What Law saw next really shocked him. He saw Rinka with a smirk plaster on her face and an unconscious body in her right hand.
-Earlier-
"Hahaha this is so much fun!" Aiden exclaimed with a wicked grin on his face.
"Found you." A feminine voice whispered evilly in his ear.
He froze and turned around to where the voice came from.
Aiden jumped in the air and did a few backflips to keep a good distance from where Rinka was standing. He then withdrew his sword that was hidden by his cloak then tried to slash the girl's side. Without a weapon of her own she easily blocks the upcoming sword attack with just one hand. With one fluid motion she glided her hand across the long blade then struck the man's face just like if her arm was a real sword.
"No sword style...Monkey arm!"
After knocking Aiden completely unconscious. She then grabbed the man by the neck and started dragging him back to where Law and everyone else was.
"Hey Law, check it out. I got a new sword now," Rinka said happily while holding up a Katana in her other hand. Law began to smirk sadistically at the man who was responsible for him and everyone else on the island for making them have such terrible nightmares.
"Good job, Miss Rinka."Law said while walking toward the 2.
Law unsheathed his nodachi and lifted a hand, creating his Room.
Law made a grin...a wide sadistic grin as his eyes widened in almost a psychotic-looking sight. "Let's have some fun." He slashed at the man and then he was now split in two at the waist, both parts still floating in the air.
When Aiden woke up , he then looked at his waist and legs with wide eyes as they floated right next to him. He noticed a thin film of blue around him. "W-what have you done? I demand you turn me back this instant!"
Law's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Are you giving me orders?" He slashed again and his head came right off.
The man looked nervously at the pirate captain. "Okay, I'm sorry...can you please let me go?!"
Law's expression turned bored now. He sliced again and the man's torso split in two diagonally. Aiden growled in anger and narrowed his eyes. He was furious. How could this pathetic pirate rookie do this to him!
Decided to finish off the bastard, Law raised his fingers lazily. "Tact" With that, his arm twisted in an unnatural way, and the elbow flew upwards. Aiden screamed in pain as his arm broke in two as if somebody was breaking a twig.
With that, the captain of the Heart Pirates left Aiden on the ground with both of his arms broken, and honestly that asshole got lucky. Law, feeling a bit generous today, decided to let Rinka choose the man's fate. Without even hesitating she picked up all of the man's chop up body parts and threw them far into the sea.
Now he is nothing more than a severed head and there is no way in a million years that he will ever find his missing body parts in the big blue sea. Law turned around one more time, looking at the severed head before walking back to the sub and everyone else who was with him copied what he did. He walked into the control room and sat on the big chair leaning back in it and putting his hands behind his head. He gazes through the big window in the control room.
"Take us under, Mr. Bart." With a smirk he gave out orders and saw the submarine diving until there was only the dark of the sea visible. The sonar and radars made a steady sound that indicated there was nothing in their way and the submarine moved quickly through the deep blue sea.
