Hmm Pizzafan and Asuka, that might not be a bad idea, but I am not sure if I can write about it. I will see what my insane mind comes up with. So basically I'm saying maybe, but don't get your hopes up.

Oh joy, instead of one big jerk, I have to deal with sadistic loony. I sigh, and try not to tense up. My body remembers what happened last time the torturess got her hands on it, and it wasn't pretty. My mind however is calm, barely, but calm. I am the best woman fighter in the world, and could kick this girl halfway up Impel Down if I wanted. So I just got to put things in perspective.

In cross country, or track and field, the thing you have to think about is what is worse. For example, if you are doing a hard workout, you could compare it to an even harder workout that you did the year before, and it makes things easier.

Now, I am thinking of past fights I have had, because yes, this is a fight. Not physical, but mentally it is one, where she tries to break me down, and I will try to fortify my defences so she can't.

It's that simple, and man, have I had some fights that I'm sure would kill Sadi-chan. Like the battle with Kaido's men. That was difficult. I almost died that time because I was new in the training. Or against Big Mam, that was terrifying. Or against Blackbeard. I loved doing that one. I got to fight against Catrina Devon, and I barely beat her, but I beat her. And the one to determine if I was the best fighter in the world, that one was...indescribable. I had to use everything in my bag of tricks against that one, and I stood out on top with the most difficulty I have ever had.

So those were tough, mean, ugly, nasty fights. This pales very dully in comparison. Sure I am injured, but I have been through way worse. I am tougher then that girl who saw those scissors and froze with terror, so when Sadi-chan circles me like before, I don't flinch.

"How are you Rose-chan?"

I just grinned back.

"Good. Did you miss me?"

Sadi-chan purred practically sitting on my lap. I gulp, feeling uncomfortable as all of creation, but I just smile back. Keep smiling, because it throws her off. Keep smiling because if you don't you're going to scream. No, this isn't bad. I can think of worse. She leans to whsiper in my ear.

"Oh I did Rose-chan, I wanted to break you so badly. Then you left so rudely, I didn't have a chance to finish."

She bit my ear and I tensed instinctively. What is it about Sadi-chan that makes me cringe? I close my eyes, ignoring the person sitting on my lap and snuggling into me. Why is she trying to be like she likes me?

The weight suddenly lifted and I could breathe a little. Sadi-chan flicked her whip back and forth, dragging the end across the floor, and it draws my eyes. She moans.

"Hmmmmm, let's pick up where we left off Rose-chan."

I smile calmly, ignoring her. I am thinking very hard to try to find my happy place, which was playing tag with Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper. Robin and Nami were watching, and Sanji was yelling for the boys not to hurt me. Brook was playing music, and Zoro was secretly watching from the crows nest, while Franky was making something.

My image was shattered abruptly as something cut deeply into my arm. My eyes flew open as Sadi-chan withdrew her whip, smiling.

"Ah Rose-chan don't go to sleep on me."

I replied through gritted teeth.

"Wouldn't dream of it."

Suddenly she was no longer wielding her whip, but those shears from last time.

"Now, if I remember correctly, I was about to cut off your fingers."

Ever since that day, I had dreamed of what I could do differently, what could make her not cut off anything that I desperately needed, fingers for example. Now Sadi-chan is driven by the pleasure of screams of pain and despair, so maybe if I took away her drive, she would be less willing to do it.

I have only played poker once or twice in my life, both times I had no idea what I was doing. However, I did know how to bluff, and for this hand, I'm going all in.

I yawn extending my hand completely for easy access. Oh man if I was wrong I was screwed.

"Fine, go ahead."

Sadi-chan looked incredibly confused.

"I can chop off your fingers?"

I struggle to keep from trembling, and I bite the inside of my cheek so hard I taste copper. Oh please work. On the outside, I seem to contemplate it.

"Sure, go ahead. A few fingers aren't bad. I guess you can take my pinkies. I didn't really need them anyway."

No, please don't. I like my pinkies really. Rose, you have to make it convincing.

Sadi-chan took my middle finger, closing the shears around it. I feel her eyes on my face and I literally bite my tongue to keep from reacting. She is calling my bluff. I didn't expect her to. However, I said I was going all in, so I am going to commit to this choice. I watch as the blade come closer and closer to my joints. It's like a game of chicken, to see who flinches first.

I close my eyes, determined not to see the blood, or the pain. I felt it start to cut through, felt the skin spliting and blood running down my finger, but I still didn't react. No matter what. Don't react.

I heard the metal clip together and almost fell out of the chair.

Wait, there's no pain. I open one eye carefully, to see she had removed the scissors to only cut the tip of my fingernail. She had originally started to cut my finger, there was the mark to prove it, but she didn't actually cut it off. Sadi-chan turned, wiping off the scissors and she sounded like she was pouting.

"You are no fun."

I slump in my seat, not realizing I had tensed up. Good gracious that was nerve-wracking. Sadi-chan put the shears down, and for that I was eternally grateful.

"Now then, let's get to something a little more interesting."

She pulls out something and snaps it together and I straighten in my chair, leaning forward. No way, she has my weapon.

It's true, every bit of it in the same condition as yesterday. That is way crueler then cutting off my fingers Sadi-chan. She seems to notice my displeasure of having her hold my weapon. She dangles it in front of me, literally inches from my nose.

"Want to have it back Rose-chan? Want to beat me with it?"

My hand pulls up against the chains, trying to reach the weapon that I had grown as accustomed to as my arm, an extension of my body. What could she possibly gain from showing me my weapon. She smirked.

"Would you like to feel what your enemies feel whenever you go up against them?"

Oh that twisted witch.

She is going to torture me with my own weapon.

She got the opposite response that she wanted. I gritted my teeth angrily at her.

"I hate you."

Sadi-chan twirled the quarterstaff.

"Now now Rose-chan, I want to hear screams of pain and fear, not anger."

I see the flash and hear the crack, then intense pain as she drives the quarterstaff straight into my face. She hits with such a force that she knocks me and the chair over, but I ignore that. I'm trying to get over the pain from my face. Blood is streaming out of my nose and busted lips.

I lay there because I don't particularly want to get up, not that I could. I open my eyes at a patronizing tone.

"Aww, poor Rose-chan's nose is broken. Here, let me help you."

Sadi-chan is leaning over me, and she reaches down. I grunt hurriedly.

"No thanks, I can do it."

I flinch as she grabs my nose, jerking it back with a crack. I don't scream, but the gasp of pain I couldn't help. Gosh darn it. Oh well, slide it to one side, just makes sure she doesn't kill you and move on. Broken noses aren't bad. Sadi-chan hauled my chair upright.

"There we go, now let's see what else this thing can do."

Man, if that's what it feels like for people to get hit by my weapon, I almost feel sorry for everyone I have faced so far. Oh well, I don't care that much.

"You know, I could easily show you how it feels if you like."

Sadi-chan laughed easily.

"Oh no Rose-chan. I'm only showing you today."

I heard a shink sound, oh crap she found the sword.

"Oh this looks fun Rose-chan."

Oh gosh no. She really could kill me. I feel something familiar, a sword tickling my throat, although it isn't safe Zoro I feel, but a sadistic witch. She is isn't she? She's going to kill me.

"It would be so simple Rose-chan, to kill you."

No, I will not allow you to make me feel fear as intense as you did before. Never again. I lean forward, almost slitting my own throat on my own sword.

"Go ahead coward."

I keep my eyes on her reflection, and I see her frown.

"Coward?"

I spit.

"Yes coward, because you would never do something like this to me if I was unchained."

Sadi-chan actually looked distrubed. Hold on, could I trick her into untying me? If so, I could just take her hostage, grab her keys and my weapon, grab Zoro, and get the heck out of here. Sadi-chan actually looked like she was contemplating the idea, then she shook her head.

"No Rose-chan, I think not. I see what you are doing."

I sigh.

"It was worth a try."

Sadi-chan laughed lightly.

"Yes of course Rose-chan."

Then she took my sword and speared it through my forearm.

I clenched my teeth and fought the urge to squirm away from the biting metal that felt like a hot poker through my arm. I could dimly hear Sadi-chan rejoicing.

"Oh look at the beautiful red blood Rose-chan. Look how it bubbles up in your arm."

I gulp back a scream as she wrenches the sword out and licks the blade, my blood dribbling down her chin. I pant, trying to get my breath back and not scream. Oh my goodness, can I survive at this rate? For goodness sakes Rose, you are stronger then this. Stop being a giant wimp and relax.

"Sadi?"

I freeze. What could possibly happen now? I know that voice though, and I hope I am wrong. I glance toward the door, to see the vice warden, Magellan, standing there. What could he want? Sadi-chan giggled, a blush coming to her cheeks.

"Oh Magellan-sama, what can I do for you?"

"Do you need help?"

Help? No, she is doing her job perfectly fine the way she is. She, and I, do not need you interfering. Sadi-chan just grinned like a schoolgirl.

"Of course Magellan-sama, but we need her alive."

Magellan sauntered into the room.

"Yes, I will give you the antidote, but I've been working on a new poison."

No, come on fate don't be this mean to me. I've survived only for Magellan to kill me? I backed up in my chair, leaning so far back away from this new threat. My eyes tried to access the situation, if there was any way to help my circumstances. Could I reach the keys to my chains, or my weapon? No, they are too far away. Come on Rose think. He was bending down, his face a foot from mine.

"Relax Rose, I'm just going to tamper with your senses a bit."

I gave him a thin smile.

"No thanks, I'm good."

He sucked in a quick breath.

"Hallucination!"

Then he blew a thick stream of purple gas in my face.
