Slowly I started to wake up,at first I didn't notice but after waking up a bit I realized I was tied to a chair,in the middle of a dark room with the only light being on me.Where am I,I thought to myself. My feet were tied to the legs of the chair,my arms were tied securely behind the chair,and my torso was also tied to the chair. I also realized that the cursed ring was off my finger,unfortunately I still had the straw hat though.

About ten minutes passed and I heard the sound of a door opening.Someone was now in the room with me but I couldn't see them as they were lurking about in the darkness just beyond my view.Then they decided to talk while circling me.

"Luffy,you know I fell in love with your brother Ace the moment I met him,and he actually trusted me called me his friend." It was the ugly captain guy,why on earth was he telling me this junk.

"Eventually I decided to try and take him for myself,but that oaf of a father of yours stopped me,and Sabo was always hovering around him,I couldn't even get close.There was however a time he got separated from Sabo,about a month ago.I managed to take him, don't worry I never hurt him.Though I was curious as to why he left his safe space to begin with,he wouldn't tell me so I had to rack my brain as to why he left,and I remembered that he used to talk in his sleep,about someone named Luffy."Great he's a stalker and a creep, I really need to get Ace away from this phyco.

"I first I thought this Luffy person was some secret lover of his,but when I found out that you were a kid,I realized,you weren't his lover you're his little brother."He continued on,and I was getting quite annoyed.

"Get on with it."I growled out,and he just laughed.

"Zehahah,you really need to learn patience little one,and that confirms my suspicious."How old does he think I am!

"I'm not little i'm 15!"He just continued to laugh.

"You're still young,so i'm not going to stop calling you a kid.Anyway since you obviously lack patience,I have a proposal for you. You see when I first met you,I thought dang he's cute and very nice with just a bit of a temper,all in all you are very much my type."Is he fucking serious?!

"Oh my gosh,can people go two seconds without calling me cute, or kidnapping me,or trying to marry me,or torture me,its getting old."I didn't realize I even said it out loud,a few moments later The fat guy came out of the shadows and was now standing in front of me.

"I take it you're used to this certain indever,zehahaha,doesn't matter anyway here's my proposal,you stay here with me and your brother goes home a free man."Ok i'm not used to this kind of deal,normally there's no exchange,just flat out taking whatever they want.

"Ok,one I don't even know if you have my brother,two how do I know you'd keep your end of the bargain,and three even if I did agree I have made several enemies,two of them are kings and another is a white headed mad man of a pirate."The fat guy stared at me.

"You met Soul? How long ago was this?"He seemed a little panicked,not that I care.

"He kidnapped me a little over a month ago,but only a day into me being on his ship I escaped,why are you two friends?"Gone was his jolly attitude,and now he looked painfully angry.

"He didn't contaminate you did he,because if he did i'll do more then scar his face next time,and no we aren't friends we've been enemies since we were kids!"No…… no no no,come ON,why do i always get stuck with the crazy's that a stupid strong,and he's the one that scared Soul's face,ok i'm not taking him lightly anymore, this guy is a real threat,and right now he most likely has my brother locked away on his ship somewhere.

"No he didn't rape me if that's what you're asking,he was about to before I escaped."At this he calmed down,even if it was only a little bit.

"That's good,now about my proposal!"He seemed mad,but even as he got closer to my face,he wasn't really scaring me.I didn't feel intimidated,I know this guy could kill me in a matter of seconds,but I just didn't care,the only thing I really care about right now was making sure my brother was safe.

"If you prove to me Ace is really here and you let him go,no tricks, then sure i'll stay here."At this point I had little care for my own safety,I haven't been safe my entire life,the first four years of my life weren't safety,it was ignorance.The fat man seemed happy with my anwser,as he pulled out a phone.

"Hey Burgess bring Ace to me would you."He wasn't on the phone long,and was now just staring at me,I just stared back with a look of indifference.A few moments later I heard something being dragged through the door,which I guessing was Ace.

"Put me down you half witted oaf!"It seems he's gotten a bit more of an attitude since i've last seen him,i'm glad.

"Ace,Ace calm down,I had you brought here for a reason." The fat me tried to reason.

"Fuck off Teach,you don't own m-"Ace stopped screaming profanities at the fat guy I now know as Teach,and is now starring at me in shock.

"Ace,i'd like you to met Luffy,by the way it wasn't very nice of you to not tell me you had a little brother."Ace stared at me in horror, and a bit a relief,he probably thought I was dead.

"Luffy,how-what-why-"I could tell he was struggling to find words, but unfortunately Teach wasn't going to let our reunion last.

"Your brother here agreed to stay here with me if I let you go,so i'm going to have one of my men-"Ace cut him off,and what he said shocked me.

"No."Was all he said.

"I'm sorry what."Teach said with a smile,fuck! He knew Ace would refuse didn't he,two faced lying mother fucker.

"I said no,i'm not leaving my brother here alone with you,i'm not going anywhere!"No…..,this can't be happening.

"TEACH YOU ABSOLUTE FUCK STAIN,YOU KNEW HED REFUSE DIDNT YOU!" Teach just smiled,and I could tell by the look,on Aces face he finally understood what happened.

"Maybe,but it doesn't matter now,you agreed,and Ace refuses to leave,so why don't you cry me a river."I fucking hate this guy!

"Teach! I expected you to somehow twist it towards me to let my brother go,why are you turning it on him?!"I could tell Ace was mad,that Teach had manipulated me.

"I don't need to explain myself to you,Burgess take them to their room,I still have a shop owner to dispose of."No USOPP,this dirty lying jerk is going to kill the only friend I have.

"Leave him alone!" I yelled at him,he just looked me me with disapproval.

"Don't tell me what to do kid,from here on out I own you,better get used to it."And with that said he left the room,leaving only me Ace and this Burguss guy.Burgess untied me from the chair but still kept my bounds on.Power rope,luckily for me I don't have powers,I have abilities that stem from my being,I don't really know how to use them but I bet I can figure it out,I mean I did have every power at one point.

Though I am still stubborn,and rebellious,so I bit the guy in the arm, he was pissed.He started to swing his arm arm to get me off, but I was determined to not let go,so I just latched on even tighter. He called in some other men for back up,two of them held Ace back, and three of them tried to pry me off of their friends arm,at some point I felt my teeth hid the bone,it was an uncomfortable feeling,but at the same time satisfying,so I decided to let go to asses the damage I had done.

The three men held me down,but I paid them no mind and just stared At Burgess with a victorious smirk.He was clutching onto his arm in pain,where I had bit him was bleeding profusely,he looked at me absolutely furious.He pulled out a phone and i'm guessing he was going to call Teach.I saw Ace look at me with worry.

"Luffy,that was badass and all but these guys are pirates,they aren't beyond torturing you."I wanted to laugh,i've been tortured for seven years straight,there were only a few times i've actually truly been in pain since I escaped. One was when Soul removed the tattoo and scar from my face,and the other was when I unlocked my crossbread form.I looked at Ace,not knowing how to tell him that torture has little to no effect on me anymore,but if I tell these guys that they will either A- not believe me or B- believe me and torture Ace in my place.

The only problem is my natural reaction to torture anymore is laughter,or just no reaction at all,i've subconsciously taught myself that nothing hurts,and even if it does to not show it because it'll only make the experience worse.At this point I can't control my reaction to torture,it just doesn't have any effect.Burgess got off the phone with Teach and was now looking at me like an insane bee keeper.

"Captain Teach just gave us the clear to torture you kid,you really should have played nice."And that was it,my brain was In torture mode,these guys are going to be pissed.

"Leave him alone,torture me instead,please don't hurt him!" Ace shouted desperately,but I looked at him and shot him a look that said shut up.He seemed to have gotten the message but was confused on why I didn't look fazed at the idea of being tortured.

The three men tied me back on the chair,and grabbed a few tools, oh this might be fun,they grabbed a pair of pliers,are they going to pull out my fingernails,oh I hope so,I lost all feeling in those! They lined up the pliers with my right thumb and the started pulled and twisting.I just watched them curiously with a smile on my face, after awhile they pulled out all my finger nails and my hands were covered in blood.

"Ohhh,nice I can tell you've done this a few times,but you're handy work was sloppy,you should have twisted more aggressively to gain more screams from your victim,but then again who am I to tell you how to do your job,please continue!"Everyone in the room was shocked,Burgess was pissed that I obviously wasn't in any amount of pain,his friends were disgusted,and Ace looked absolutely horrified. I mean I guess I kinda expected that,I did you tell them how to properly rip nails off,I probably sound crazy as shit.

"LUFFY DONT GIVE THEM POINTERS!"Ace yelled at me,and I guess he was right,I should let them suck at doing this,after it's a terrible thing to do to someone.

"You're to cocky kid,how about we move on to something different,something captain might actually like,Laffitte bring me the waxing kit!"Really?They are going to wax me,i've literally been boiled alive before,and had full bady wax's about 312 times now,it won't hurt at all.

They brought over the waxing kit,it wasn't even a very painful one,they really need to learn quality.They started with my arms, them moved on to my legs,they did my chest,my back,and my face, they entire time I was whistling a happy tone.By the time they were done,they were absolutely furious.

"Ugh,Laffitte brings me sowing pins!"Burgess yelled at the other guy, I don't think they get just how much they can't hurt me.They brought in sowing pins and started to slowly push them into my hands feet,legs,arms and ears.They more they tried the more angry they got,they tried at least ten different torture methods,none of which worked.

"WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE TO ACTUALLY HURT YOU!"Burguss was starting to pull of his hair in anger.

"I'm calling captain maybe he can do something to hurt this kid."Good luck with that,i've been physically and mentally abused for nine years now,even if they started to torture Ace,i'm not sure if I could give a reaction.I've grown used to death,unfairness,being kidnapped, betrayed,my loved ones getting hurt.It just doesn't hurt anymore, i've just grown numb to it,and I hate that I have,it make me feel like i'm a dick for not caring. Burgess got off the phone with his boss and was now staring at me menacingly.

"Captain couldn't find your friend,we're guessing he high tailed it out of there,but captain is on his way back,and he's going to torture you himself,you better prepare yourself kid,you shouldn't of been so stubborn."With that said they left me in the room with Ace,who was now chained to the wall to stop him from coming close to me.

"Luffy……why-why didn't you-"Ace started

"Why didn't I care about being tortured,dear brother I don't think you truly want that answer-"This time it was Ace who cut me off.

"No I do want to know! I haven't seen you in almost ten years, and now that you're here right infront of me there nothing I can do but watch you be tortured,and not caring,YOU DONT EVEN SEEM TO BE IN PAIN!"Hes worried,about what happened to me that made me this way.

"That night,when I was kidnapped and mom was murdered, it was Garp,dads dad,our grandfather.I spent seven years being tortured by him,and his men,along with many other children and adults. I never got a day off from being tortured Ace,seven years I lived In painful misery,then one day in those seven years,everything just…… stopped,I stopped feeling the pain,my body grew numb. Ace all the nerves in my body are completely destroyed,i'm now incapable of feeling pain.So please stop worrying about me getting hurt,I cant actually get hurt anymore." I didn't exactly want to tell him this, but I wanted him to understand that this wasn't hurting me at all. Ace looked on the verge of tears

"I shouldn't have left you and mom,I should have stayed and-"

"If you had stayed you would have suffered the same fate I did, Garp wasn't exactly happy I was born."Also I don't think he would of been able to escape like I did,I got lucky,very lucky.If it wasn't for Corpse and Nami I wouldn't have made it out of there.The door then swung open and Teach was standing there smiling at me.

"So I hear that my men's torture had no effect on you,well maybe they just suck at torture,who knows."Well he seems to believe that they weren't very good at causing pain,I mean sure i've been through a lot worse,but if I was a normal kid I would have been screaming the whole time.

"They said they did a few torture methods,all of which I can plainly see,so let's try something else."He went to a hot stove that his men turned on before they left.Then he grabbed a pair of tongs and grabbed a hot needle.

"Open wide!"He grabbed my jaw and forced my mouth open,he then put the hot needle in my mouth and pirced my tongue with it,and pulled my tongue outside my mouth.It looked like he was finally seeing what his men were talking about.I didn't fight back and showed no signs of pain,mainly because I wasn't in any pain. He grabbed more hot needles,sticking them in my ears nose,eye lids,lips,cheeks,and more inside my mouth.I probably looked like a pin doll,and now Teach was getting frustrated.

"What's it going to take to cause you pain!" As if i'd tell you idiot, besides the only people that have recently be able to hurt me, is Soul,Law,and Corpse. Corpse caused the most pain though, I got good at ignoring it,but Corpse knew he was hurting me. Now that im thinking of Corpse,I realized he still isn't here,did he die,was he just a figment of my imagination? No, I know he wasn't,Tashigi saw him before,lurking behind me in the shadows,she stared freaking out about a demon following me.That was a few days before she died,so yeah he's real,and he's immortal,he's made that very clear, he also said that he wasn't ever going to leave me,so why did he, where is he now?

"You're not paying any ATTENTION!"Teach screamed at me as he brought a sludge hammer down on my feet.Didn't hurt, I think he knows that by now.

"Fine since physical torture doesn't work on you,i'll switch to psychological torture instead!"He started to walk towards Ace with the sludge hammer,NOW! I summoned a wing and thew it at Ace, and he was swallowed into my pocket demention.Teach looked at me with shock,anger,and then interest.

"A galaxy dragon,didn't think they even existed,you're the first one i've ever met."He walked back over to me.

"Bring Ace back,and I promise we'll stop torturing you."Really?! What an idiot.

"Does it really look like I give two shits about you torturing me, if you really believe your causing me pain then you are delusional." He was pissed,he just started punching me over and over again.

"You cocky little fucker!"He then stopped after about five minutes,and he appeared to be starring at me.

"What's that around your neck?"He saw my locket!

"None of your business."I said as calmly as I could,didn't do anything,he ripped it off my neck,breaking the chain,and I guess that set me off."

"HEY BE CAREFUL WITH THAT YOU FUCKER!"He turned to me and smiled.

"Oh,i'm sorry is this important to you?It looks to be some kind of locket."No,not again,why does everyone care about my dam locket! There is also the problem of Ace is still able to see everything that's going on through my eyes,he's probably wondering why i'm freaking out over a locket.

"Give.It.Back."My tone was cold and angry,and Teach picked up on this.

"Anger,always leds to sorrow."Then Teach did something I wasn't expecting,he BROKE the seal on the locket and opened it! Even Soul couldn't do that,just who the fuck is this guy.He examined the picture.

"Who's this,you're girlfriend?Also no wonder torture has no effect on you,You used to live at Garps torture facility,they are ruthless over there.I wonder how you would react if someone were to…" he removed the picture and held to up close to me,then grabbed a lighter.

"W-what are you doing?"He probably heard the horror on my voice, before he lit the picture on fire right after I asked that.

"NO,NONONONO STOP PLEASE STOP,THATS THE ONLY THING OF HER I HAVE LEFT!"I cried and I pleded,but it only made him want to burn it more.He laughed as he did it too.

"Oh look at this a another compartment,I wonder what it's for." He questioned aloud.

"DONT OPEN THAT!"I yelled.

"Oops, to late I already opened it I wonder what it…….is, well I was not expecting that.I knew Dragon was your father,but Rouge too? That would make you,Ace, and Sabo.The princes of the world…." My breath caught in my throat,as he smiled at me.

"Well don't want anyone one else to find out,after all I want you and Ace to myself,I might go find Sabo too,just in case."He took the picture out just like the last one and proceeded to burn it.I cried so hard I couldn't breathe.

"See this is more fun,oh I wonder what would you do if I did this?" He started walking back to the wood stove,then he looked at me and dropped the locket in it.

"Well I have things to get done,have fun watching it melt." I barely heard him,the world seemed to be spinning,the only thing I could hear the the crackle of the fire.I didn't even realize it but I accidentally shoved Ace out of my pocket demetion,He was staring at me with sad eyes.I couldn't really care at that moment,all I was able to focus on was my melting locket.

I felt something in my brain snap,I started crying and screaming so loud,I caused Ace to faint,in fact some other people on the deck above us fainted to,I could hear them fall to the ground.It was a dragons cry,if you aren't a dragon or aren't aware of how they grieve, the cry itself can be fatal to those who hear it.It can also cause the dragons powers to go completely haywire.Portals were opening up everywhere around me,and even on the deck of the ship,and some farther then that.

I was freaking out so bad I broke the bonds that tied me to the chair,I barely realized what I was doing,but I grabbed the unconscious Ace and jumped into a random portal,where it leads, no idea,all I cared about was getting away.
