Chapter 6
Satomi's POV
BOOM!
Lightning shook the very sky as I reached for locket one more time. The branch of the tree started creaking, it was breaking. I jumped out at the locket and fell to the ground, just as the thunder boomed again and the tree burst into flames. From my left wrist came a sickening crunch as it broke from the fall. I put the locket around my neck and stood up, preparing to go home.
BOOM!
Then I was alive electricity, burning blue and screaming.
"AAH!" I bolted upright out of bed, before coughing and choking on something in my throat. A mysterious man sat by my bed.
"Eat," he said, handing me an odd looking fruit. For the next three days I would do nothing but eat and rest, gaining strength from that mysterious fruit that he always gave me. One day he let me outside. I saw a pool and ran to it, jumping in to wash the grime from my body.
Then I could move, but I couldn't swim like I used to.
"You have devil fruit powers now, that's what I've been feeding you. I saved your life and now your family owes me, so you will all work and live here," he said, smiling like we were old friends. "I'll teach you how to use your ability. You are a very strong little girl."
He taught me day after day, and my family was happy, we all were. And the nameless man was nice to. We could eat as much as we wanted, and could sleep and have fun, hardly working. Then one day he called us t the courtyard. And he told us to sit down and be quiet, to look and listen closely. My three sisters giggled and fought over a place in my lap. My mom held my newest sibling- a little brother, in her lap. We were so happy.
Then he brought out a igure covered in chains and blood. It was our father.
"Daddy!" we cried, and I ran up to him.
"SIT DOWN!" he yelled. "I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET HURT!" He was crying, then we were all crying silently, still as statues on the manicured grass.
"He is your example," said the dark man. "Your oldest daughter will work for me, doing my bidding until she dies or I release her. She will have a chance to help set you free, but if she disobeys me, one of you will be killed, like he will be! Or simply tortured to torture each other."
"Satomi!" he called my name, spitting out blood. "Your mother is still weak. You must protect your brither and sister in my absence."
"No Daddy! Don't say that!" My sisters were all crying now.
"LISTEN TO ME! PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL PROTECT OUR FAMILY!"
"I promise Daddy JUST DON'T DIE!"
"I love you all, and remember, family is forever."
Then the man touched his forhead. His eyes went black, then my dad's went gray. His skin lost it's color and his pupils dialated. His doby seemed to thin and slowly age, then a white, shreaking whisp appeard out of his mouth, and was sucked into his hand.
Everything swirled into a blur as his voice rang in my ears.
"Here's that chance I promised. To save your family.
If you kill 3,000 people, before you turn 18, I will let them go, bring them to an island where the villagers are kind and alive"
Images of the village, torn apart and filled with exact copies of what happened to my dad lay everywhere.
"But in return you will have to work for me for the rest of your life, and evevtually eat the Waru Waru fruit and be like me."
The shadows ran around me, circling me like I was their prey.
"And if you fail, I will slaughter them all and make you eat them until there is nothing left but bone."
The shadows crawled down my throat, filling me to the brim with pain.
"Satomi we hate you!"
"It's your fault the bad man is hurting us!"
"I wish you would die!"
"You're not our sister, you're a monster!"
"Oh, good choice of words, young one. Make a note of that. And the word monster sizzled into my skin.
"DIE!"
"KILL HER!"
"WE HATE YOU!"
"FOREVER!"
"NO!" she screamed, really waking up this time. She was sweating, and lying on her bed on the floor.
"Nightmare?" asked Nami, looking up at her from the navigation book she had been reading. "I used to get them too. When I work for Arlong. But then Luffy beat him; now I'm free. He'll do the same to you. You and I are the same. You can tell me you know."
She looked at Tomi, her hand resting on the two wanted posters she was hiding. "I won't tell the others anything; they need to find out on their own, right?" Tomi was not entirely shocked, but still surprised. And she could tell Nami was hiding something. Then she noticed how much lighter her pocket was.
"You found the wanted poster. I guess that it would have to happen eventually. But trust me, I don't want to kill Luffy; I want him to be king of the pirates."
"Well that's not all I found. I also found your wanted poster. $59 million belies, huh? So you're that "Bandit" I heard about in the last town we stopped at. They call you alot of names. The Bandaged Bandit, the Blue Death, Bloody Ghost. They told me that your victims are almost always found at a different place then where they were killed. And that every body has a flower, or a coin, or some kind of gift on it; that every body has it's eyes closed. You've killed over 2,000 people. Innocents, mostly, with the occasional bad guy. Sometimes you would become friends with them first. You are a ruthless murderer Satomi, you shoud leave this boat. I was lost when I was with Arlong but you are dead, and you can't escape. I won't have you killing anyone on here, I owe my life to them. Iwas nice because I know how it feels but you need to leave."
And then, Satomi noticed that she was crying. Tears were silently running down her face. She was having a breakig day. Or at least, that's what she called it. It was a day where she felt like everything was breaking around her, crumbling, and like there was nothing left to live for. Then she would start crying despite herself. But she wouldn't be able to stop. So she would sit quietly and cry hersel out, then move on. She hadn't had one in over a year. But now she was a waterfall, and she couldn't stop.
She was shaking, coughing and sputtering, and crying. Breaking. Broken. Maybe she had finally given up. Maybe this was it; they would all die. Everyone she cared about. "Fine. I'll go. But just know that I'll never forgive you." she finnaly said. Her shoulders heaving and her facial bandages soaked.
"Why? What would I be doing except saving the lives of my crewmates from a bloodthirsty monster!? You deserve anything you get for taking the lives of all those innocent people."
Zoro; just as they had started to talk
Zoro was walking around on deck, seeing as he needed to train a bit. He was walking past the girl's room when he heard some voices. Maybe Nami got some more info out of Tomi. He stopped to listen.
"STOP IT!" Tomi screamed. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT THEY DESERVE IT! THEY ARE INNOCENT CHILDREN THAT DIDN'T DESERVE ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TO THEM! I PROMISED TO PROTECT THEM AND I WILL NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF ME! BUT IF ANYONE EVER SAYS THAT THEY DESERVE THIS I'LL KILL THEM!" Ten Satomi collapsed in a sobbing heap.
Nami was shocked. She was so mad. "B-but I didn't say 'they' or whatever. I said you!"
"Don't you undersand? Ever heard of blackmail? The guy I'm working for has my family, or my sisters and brother. I promised my parents that I would protect them, and they WILL SURVIVE AS LONG AS I'M HERE!"
"Oh. I do understand. How absolutely low, would you go to be one of us? To gain and pity then stab us in the back. You really are disgusting."
"I really hate people like you."
"What!?"
"You have been through everything that I have, definately at a lower level but still- and you sit hereand don't believe me.I guess that's good though, in my case. But I've always hated people who refuse to believe me when I'm telling the truth. You think that because of my reputation that I'm a horrible person. Well Zoro is known as a demon who spares no one. Luffy is know as a notorious pirate on a killing spree. The Straw Hat Pirates are known as evil, but you are all good people who have good reasons for what you do.I'm kinda like you guys. And here you are, talking to me like I'm not. What would Bellemere think?"
"Don't...you...dare... bring Bellemere into this."
"YOU BROUGHT IN MY FAMILY WHY SHOULDN'T I DO THE SAME TO YOU!?"
"Because. This was my test. To see if you were really trustworthy or not."
Tomi facepalmed, and so did Zoro behind the door. "She's a demon," he muttered, walking back off to the room.
"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU GUYS AND YOUR STUOID TESTS!?" Tomi screamed, cackling with electricity.
"heyheyhey it's ok! I just want to make sure my nakama will be safe. But I have a few questions. First, how did you know that Luffy wants to be the Pirate KIng?"
"We were childhood friends. He doesn't remember me but I remember him. His dream kinda became mine I guess. He needs to be the Pirate King."
"Ok. And what do yo mean your boss can't be killed?"
"It's difficult to explain, but it kinda goes like this. In order to get rid of him, a really, really, good person, not just iin fighing but at heart, would have to die. They might be able to survive, but thhat's almost impossible. Besides, if anyone kills him, it has to be me."
"Oh... and one more thing. I know you have devil fruit powers, but how were your wounds healing like that?"
Tomi sniffed, wiping her face. She had finally stopped crying, but her face was red and her eyes were puffy. "I ate more than one." she stood up, and went out to the deck, closing the door behind her. Then she waited for a moment, but Nami made no move to follow her. She breathed in, and exhaled deeply. "I know you're out there." she said simply, rolling her eyes. He was always trying to be all secretive. "Just come out and give me today's worth. I just wanna get it over with. Oh but can we do it towards the back of the ship? It'll be easier to clean."
"Very well." He said, stepping out of the shadows. We walked towards the back of the ship. Then he stopped, and turned around to stare at me. "Today you ate exactlt five pounds over you limit, spent and extra 30 seconds in the shower, talked too much, slept too much, and were overall too happy. Not to mention all the tears you shed earlier. But I'm feeling generous so you can pick which punishment and where. In between the spikes or the internal fire. I enjoy watching you suffer either way."
"Fire, left forearm."
"Then let us begin. Go ahead you two." I steadied myself as I felt them head to the spot. It felt like all the blood in my body was heading towards my arm. Then it was on fire.
Not literally, of course. It was internal after all. Mostly it was just a feeling of pain, no real harm. But the smoke, blisters, burned flesh and blood were all too real. She did the same thing she always told them to do when they were hurt. Breathe in, hold it, and breathe out. It helped a little bit, because without it she would be screaming and maybe crying, but Tomi would never give him the satisfaction of that.
It was over in about a minute, and now she was wiping off the deck and pushing the bloody water into the sea below. Satomi still had some time left before the others woke up, so she went over to the tangerine tree and started wahsing the blood off that too. Then she wrapped up her arm in bandages and sat down, taking Luffy's spot.
She wondered how long she would have to keep this up.
