Recap:

'Please....Just wait for me Luffy!!'

Arlong tries to get away from you, but instead you pin him down on the ground, water sword still in his chest, and the other sword at his neck. You have Arlong cornered. You have the advantage. You're going to win. "Well look at this, the all so powerful Arlong is being defeated." you say with a smirk. "I have a friend rescuing our captain, and I've got you pinned down. Our crew is the victor in this 'game'"

Arlong at first looked a bit defeated, but his expression suddenly changed. "I wouldn't be so sure of that Water Bearer"

You are going to ask him why, until you hear a thump!. You turn around and see Zoro, collapsed on the ground. His breathing is ragged, and judging from how much he's sweating, he has a high fever. Hachi is on the roof, holding six swords, one in each hand. "Hey! You're not supposed to fall! How dare you mock me!!"

"ZORO!!!" you scream. Sanji grit his teeth at this, temporarily looking at the male. "I knew something was off. He acted like it was nothing after that fierce showdown. Is he an idiot or what?!" Suddenly, Sanji is punched by Kuroobi. Sanji gasps in pain, as he goes flying through the wall and past the villagers. You loosen your grip on Arlong, shocked.

"SANJI-SAN!!!" "I thought I told you to pay attention. You should too, Water Bearer."

"You bastard! Don't tell me to-"

You are cut off when you hear something metal break. Arlong managed to break the blade you had on his neck, by biting it in half. You gasp and lose hold on your water sword, as it dissolves into water again. Arlong takes the chance to grab you by the neck with one hand, holding you up like a rag doll. You dig your nails into his hand, hoping it will do something.

It doesn't.

Instead, he slams you into the wall, your head throbbing from the pain, and begins punching and kicking you without giving you so much as a second to catch your breath. When he was satisfied, he dropped you, as you laid there, coughing up blood and wheezing. "Tch. You're quite the disappointment Water Bearer. I didn't know you were the type to brag, before you've even won."

You can't even respond, you're so tired and it'd be amazing for anyone to be conscious at this point. Kuroobi walks over to the two of you. "Arlong-san. The blonde haired man is taken care of. What should we do with these two?"

"Ditch Roronoa Zoro in the sea. We'll turn Water Bearer in to Nezumi, the next time he comes around. How boring..........What weaklings!"

He kicks you in your ribs again, smirking as he hears a loud crack! And you scream out in pain. Hachi starts to blabber about how he's a great swordsman or something like that. You drown out his voice, focusing on Zoro. He was facing your direction, and he could see you, bloody and bruised. 'Are you okay?' He mouthed out the words.

You nod your head, but regret it as you wince in pain. Your head was still throbbing from when Arlong slammed you against the wall. 'Get up! Get up!' you mouth back to him. He smirks, as if saying 'what do you think I was doing?'

Suddenly there is a large whirlwind of rubble flying around Arlong Park. You are barely able to lift your head up, but enough that you see it's from Hachi. He is swinging around all six swords, so that the whirlwind and the rubble are reaching higher than Arlong Park itself. A large part of a pillar comes flying toward Arlong, but he merely dodges. "Stop it Hachi." Kuroobi warns. "I know how you feel, but if you go on a rampage, do you really want to destroy Arlong Park?"

"Oh right! Sorry I went overboard!" The whirlwind stop. You turn to see if Zoro was injured, but find him standing. "Six Sword Style? What a joke! I'll tell you one thing octopus. There's a man I need to meet up with, until I meet him again...........my life can't be taken away! Even by death itself!"

Meanwhile.....

Clang! Clang! Gen continues to slam down on the piece of concrete Luffy is stuck in. Nojiko has Luffy's head on her lap. Mist swallows hard, nervous to approach them, but does so. "I take it you're trying to save him?"

They jump in surprise, but nod. Mist nods back, then speeds away. 'What was that about?' Nojiko thought. But Mist comes back at an incredible speed, smashing into the concrete. It chips off a little piece, but not enough. "We need to bring him up for air, but we can't carry him up with the rock."

Mist gasps in realization and Gen and Nojiko seem to have the same idea.

Back to you.........

'Wow! Zoro managed to dodge all six swords!'

"Six Sword Style Octopus stance!"

Hachi charges at Zoro, all six of his swords met at the center. Zoro blocks it with his swords, but Hachi flings his arms back, causing Zoro to do the same. Hachi rams his head into Zoro's chest, and send him in the air. "ZORO!" Johnny cries.

"That's dirty! Hitting his wounds!" Yosaku yells. Hachi grins, seeing victory. " I won't give you time to land either! Six Sword Style Ultimate Technique: Waltz of Six Swords!" Hachi spins all six of his swords, as powerful as the whirlwind from before, and Zoro was falling straight into it.

"LOOK OUT!!" You try to stand up, but there is a flash of blood and a scream. At first you think it's Zoro, but he lands on his feet, and Hachi has dropped all of his swords, his hand fresh with cuts. "That bastard! He rolled on my swords and gave me a free hand cutting service. I'm going to kill you good!!"

Zoro stumbles, almost losing balance. You catch his eye, and try to move, so you can look at him. "Don't you dare give up! You said you have to meet someone right?! Well prove it and kick that octopuses' ass!!" Zoro smirks, ignoring Hachi charging at him from behind. "What did you think I was going to do, Y/n?"

You grin at this. "You finally use my name." He smirks back, as he spins around, breaking all of Hachi's swords, and creating a whirlwind that sends Hachi soaring in the air. "DRAGON TWISTER!" Everyone is in shock, including Kuroobi and Arlong. "Hachi..........."

You manage the strength to try and stand up. Zoro notices and limps over to help you. You were now facing Arlong, clutching your ribs in pain. You look over to Hachi, then back at Zoro, remembering what he said earlier.

"It doesn't matter if I have three swords or six swords. You don't get the difference between the weight of my swords and your swords!"

"I understand." You finally spoke up, making Zoro quirk an eyebrow. "What you said earlier; about the difference between the weight of your swords. I get it now. Even if that dumbass takoyaki didn't."

"I couldn't care less about that Octo-man. We need to go save Luffy....."

"Big Bro! Big Sis! Look out!"

"How dare you beat Hachi!" You gasp seeing Kuroobi behind the two of you, ready to punch you and Zoro. You close your eyes, waiting for the punch. When it doesn't come, you open your eyes and see Sanji in front of you and Zoro. "You sure did send me flying."

Kuroobi was surprised at this. "Oh? I didn't think there was anyone that could survive my punch." "Sanji-san! Are you alright?" you ask only for the male to go all lovey dovey on you. "Yes y/n-chaan~ were you worried about me? Oh?! What happened to you, my lovely ocean princess?!"

"Arlong happened." you mutter. "And what do you mean ocean princess?! Focus!" Kuroobi's eye twitches. "You sure take me lightly, don't you?" You see Zoro trying to go into the water. "Stop Zoro!" "Oi, you'll die if you go in there." Sanji adds.

"Shut up! He's at his limit! And Y/n is useless!" "Hey!" You yell, quite offended in fact. "All you have to do is-" "We can't wait until your fight is over!" Zoro cuts you off.

"Yeah. I know. We can't waste anymore time. Which is why I'm telling you to stop Moss Head!" Sanji takes off his coat and shoes, jumping into the water. "You can't complain if I do this right?!" "Sanji-san! Don't!" you yell.

"Wow!" Kuroobi laughs. "He wants to fight me, a fishman in the water?!" Zoro tries to stop the male. "That's reckless! They want a fight in the water!!" You try to crawl to the water, but your arms and legs give out, as you fall down again. Zoro turns around annoyed. "You idiot! Why do you have the name Water Bearer and a bounty, and be this weak?!"

"SHUT UP!!! I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU!! PUSH ME INTO THE WATER!!"

"WHY?!"

"BECAUSE I CAN USE WATER TO HEAL MY WOUNDS TEMPORARILY!!!"

Zoro blinks a few times in surprise. "Really?"

"I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT EARLIER MOSS HEAD!! IT'S A LITTLE HARD WHEN A PERSON CAN BARELY CRAWL!!!!!"

"Shut up! Then I'll gladly throw you lazy ass in!!"

Suddenly, you feel yourself being lifted up, and carried away. But it's not Zoro. It's Arlong. "Thanks for telling me your secret. Now I can keep you close to me." "Let me go you stupid bastard!!" You try to thrash out of his grip, but most of your strength was just to keep you conscious. Zoro tries to stand, but his movements are wobbly.

"Damn you! Why'd you have to go and yell about it?!" Zoro tries to get up again, successfully this time,using his sword as a support, making his way to you and Arlong. He slashes at Arlong, but misses. He keeps doing this, and you're confused at why, but realize when you see how close you are to the water. You bite his arm, causing him to cry out in pain and dropping you. Right into the water.

"Tch. All for that woman huh? Well it's not like she's going to be any stronger." Zoro tries to focus on Arlong. "I may not know much about her, but my captain believes in her, so I have to as well!"

Underwater.........

Sanji was getting pulverized. There was no other way to explain it. Kuroobi sent punch after punch at Sanji, and to top it off, flying into a rock. You create a small air bubble around your head, so you can breathe. Then you try to close up some of your wounds. They don't heal all the way, but you feel stronger than before.

"Hey! Wanna see why I'm called Water Bearer?!" Kuroobi turns to you, as you hit him with your water fist, sending him flying. "It's because the water is mine to control!! You go against me, you're going against your own environment!"

"YOU BITCH!!" Behind you, Sanji is frantically swimming up for air, Kuroobi notices and swims over to him, blocking Sanji's way. You use the currents to push you forward to them, but stop when Sanji points behind you.

You turn and see Gen trying to give Luffy CPR. His neck is stretched above the water, and you see Mist trying to break the rock. "Mist!" you yell. The pink dolphin looks up and see it's you. "Y/n!" He swims over to you, and you grab onto his fin, as he takes you over to Luffy. "Can you break the rock?!"

"Duh!"

"You should pay attention to your surroundings!"

You turn around and see Kuroobi pulling Sanji down into the abyss. 'He can't handle the pressure change!!' you thought panicked. "Mist! Take me over there!"

"Right! We'll be back Mister!" Gen nods and continues CPR. Mist swims you over there, and you are next to Kuroobi not even in half a second. "What?! Where did you come-"

Mist slams into Kuroobi, sending him flying upward. He zooms by him, hitting him over and over, punching him with his snout. Meanwhile you go to Sanji, who has blood coming out from his mouth. "Sanji-san!!" you cry. You remove his hands that were covering his mouth and press your lips onto his, giving him your small air bubble. He takes it gladly, hearts dancing in his eyes. You hold the rest of your breath.

"Y/n-chaaaaaaannnn~ wait! Will you be okay?!" You nod, giving him a thumbs up. Mist sees you, and swims back down to you, but cries in pain, as Kuroobi elbows his back. Mist goes limp. 'Shit!'

Kuroobi is charging at you, full speed. You form a small water tornado, aiming it at him. Kuroobi tries to swim against it, but can't. You send a small water knife into his gut, as he clutches his side in pain. You swim through the tornado, creating a pathway for Sanji. You point to Kuroobi's gil. 'I see. They use pulmonary respiration on land and branchial in water. So he will at least feel the pain if he gets air into his branchial!'

You smirk, and he goes speeding to Kuroobi. You form small water chains to pin Kuroobi's arms down. Sanji grabs Kuroobi's shoulder, blowing the remaining air from the air bubble into his gils. They both go shooting above ground, and you then use the currents to push you down to where Gen-san is.

You hold up a thumbs up and then thumbs down. Gen shakes his head, meaning, he's still not breathing. Gen points up, gesturing to above the water. You look at him, worried, but he gives up a thumbs up. 'We'll be okay.' You see Mist is okay, limping, but okay. "I'll take you back up. Are some of your wounds healed?"

You nod, as you grab his fin and he swims you up to the surface. You gasp for air, when you reach the top. You get up out of the water, and see Sanji landing kick after kick on Kuroobi. Mist goes back into the water to help Gen and Nojiko. The last one though, he spots you and hearts dance in his eyes. "Y/n-chaaaaaaannnnnn!!!!!!!! This is for you!!!! LOVE KICK!!!"

The last kick sends him flying through the Arlong Park building. Yosaku and Johnny's jaws have hit the floor, and the villagers are shocked. "I guess........he doesn't want dessert?" he replies cooly. You roll your eyes. "Good riddance. That guy got on my nerves."

"Y/n-chaaaaaannnn~!!!!" Sanji hugs you tightly, you wince slightly. After all, you can't repair broken ribs. Then you remember Sanji with the pressure change. "Sanji-san! You're injured! Doesn't that hurt?!" you exclaim worriedly.

"Not when I have you Y/n-chan~!!!"

You make a small "gek" sound. "Okay, well........I have broken ribs........."

Sanji gasps letting you go immediately. "I am so sorry my ocean princess!!! I will be more careful!!" You shake your head. "It's okay, Sanji-san. I'm just glad you're okay." Zoro clears his throat loudly, "If you're done flirting, we've got another problem here."

Arlong gets up, pissed, walking over to the three of you. "How dare you bastards beat my dear brothers one after another....... Aren't you getting a little carried away?!" You help Zoro stand, then form a little stream of water to your hand. "Sanji-san. Come here. I'll fix some of yours and Zoro's wounds."

Zoro gapes at this. "You can do that?!" "It's not as effective on people besides me or Mist, but it can temporarily close some cuts or give you strength." "You are really amazing y/n-chan~!!"

The water flows around Zoro and Sanji's chests, then enters, clearing some of the blood on Zoro's bandages and on Sanji's shirt. "Thank you, y/n-chan~" Zoro doesn't really show the thanks. "Yeah. Now what do you mean that he's sort of alright?"

"He won't die for the time being." Sanji says. You face the blonde. "Sanji-san, I know it's a bit much to ask, but can you go back in one more time? And break the rock?" He nods. "I will y/n-chan, but this guy doesn't seem to want to let me go easily."

"I guess we just have to keep trying!" you face Arlong, with Sanji and Zoro.

You, Sanji and Zoro are on the ground again, Arlong had shot water at you guys and you started coughing up blood. Every time you had attempted to shield Arlong's attacks, he would attack you first, barely giving you time to block yourself, or Sanji and Zoro. "I can easily kill humans like you, all I need is a little water!"

"Give me a break!" Sanji kicks at Arlong, but is hit by another one of Arlong's water shots. "S-Sanji-san.." you groan weakly. Sanji is on his knees, trying to catch his breath. Zoro is sprawled out on the floor. You are still standing, trying to figure out how to use the same technique.

"Arlong!"

You turn your head to see Nami, in front of the crowd of villagers from Cocoyashi village. She has her wooden staff out and Luffy's hat on.

"Nami-swan!"

"Nami!"

Arlong smirks. "Hey Nami! I was just about to crush some pirates. What did you come here for?" "To kill you." she replies. "To kill.............me? Shahahahahaha! You never learn, do you? How many times have you attempted to kill me in the eight years you have been with us? You tried poisons, sneak attacks, assassinations. Were you ever able to kill me? You all must be aware that mere humans can't kill me. Now, listen, I won't kill you.....and you can't escape from me........Nami. You'll be our surveyor forever."

You watch Nami's eyes widen, and you throw a death glare at Arlong. Arlong looks at you for a second, but then goes back to Nami. "But, I'm also a good-natured man. If possible, I want you to be our surveyor on your own free will. So, how about this? I'll be killing everyone here except you. But if you happily come back to the Arlong Pirates and draw sea charts, I don't mind letting the people from Cocoyashi Village live."

You gasp, and the villagers are surprised. Arlong then turns to the three of you, now on the ground. He kicks Sanji to the side, and picks you up by your h/l h/c locks, meeting direct eye contact. "But I'm going to kill these guys. They went too far. The real question is who you'll be with. You can chose to side with me and save all of the villagers, or with these weaklings. But with these guys you depend on in this condition, it's obvious that it'll be a tragedy for you. Nami..... Are you my friend? Or their friend?"

It all goes quiet. Nami is shaking, unsure what to do. With a few words, she can either kill the entire village or save them, but neither will gain her freedom. Nami turns to the villagers, with a face of determination. "Everyone I'm sorry! Please die with me!"

The villagers let out a battle cry. "Yeah! Let's do it!!"

You can't help but smirk. "Serves you right, you fishman bastard." Arlong snarls at you, throwing you back down on the concrete. Suddenly you see a large amount of water shoot up in the air, coming from where Luffy and Gen were. You smile, and Sanji seems to have notice as well. "Finally......"

"All we have to do now is destroy that rock." you say. Zoro grins. "Oh. So that's what you meant......"

Johnny and Yosaku look in shock. "Could it be......Big Bro Luffy!"

The three of you rise, you form a water sword, and Zoro uses his sword to stand. "30 seconds. I won't last longer than that. I'm not sure if you can do anymore than that either Water Bearer." You grimace. "Yeah, sorry Sanji-san."

"Don't worry y/n-chan, 30 seconds of love will be enough~!" He jumps back into the water, and Zoro looks over in the direction the water came from. There is a wall there, so Luffy isn't visible. Arlong starts to catch on. "There isn't a fountain over there. Could it be that rubber man?!"

Zoro takes a slash at Arlong's face, leaving a small cut under his eye. "Don't worry about it." you say with a glimmer of hope in your eye. "It doesn't matter...."

"You half fish!" Both you and Zoro say in unison. "I thought I told you to never say those words again........dying Zoro, Water Bearer!" Arlong looks back. "A Devil Fruit user in the water, is supposed to lose all of their strength, even the strength to struggle. If rubber man is still alive, that means someone is putting a damper on this game."

Zoro shrugs. "This game didn't seem that fair from the start."

"In any case, I need to check on it. Out of my way."

Before either of you can begin fighting back, something white flies toward Arlong. "EGG STAR!!" Arlong blocks the egg by holding up his hand, you turn and see Usopp, standing in the hole made by Sanji flying through it earlier. "I've got your guys' back!:

You sweatdrop, seeing he's still so far away. Suddenly it dawns on Arlong. "You defeated....Choo?!" Usopp grins. "Serves you right! With my arrival the fight comes to a climax at once! It heads to the final chapter!: Out of the corner of your eye, you notice Hachi starting to rise. Before you can act though, Usopp is up to something. "Oi Arlong! Look this way!"

"What?! Big Bro Usopp! How brave!" Yosaku cries. "Usopp...Rubber Band of Doom!" Of course, Arlong doesn't pay attention to this and focuses on Zoro. "Looks like you want to die before Water Bearer, Roronoa Zoro."

Usopp watches as the rubber band hits the ground. "Now! Go y/n, Zoro!" "What do you actually want to do?!" Nami screeches. "No way I'll die. I'll break your proud nose!" Zoro slams the blade of his sword from Johnny onto Arlong's nose, but no matter how hard he tries to cut it, his nose stays the same.

"Fool. it's a proud nose because it's unbreakable. If you were at your full strength, you might've been able to make a scratch." Arlong uses his nose, almost like a sword, and clashes it with Zoro's. You are going to go over to him, until you see Hachi standing, except he is frozen with his hands up. He opens his eyes. "Oh my! I thought that rubber band was going to come flying at me!"

Your jaw hits the ground. "EEEEEEEEHHHHH?!"

"WHAT?!" the villagers cry, with the same reaction. Usopp chuckles nervously. "S-see! He was my target!" You deadpan at his failed save. "You were yelling "Arlong", weren't you?" Hachi notice Zoro. "Roronoa Zoro! I won't let you have your way! I'll crush your friend who went into the sea!"

"I won't let you!" Hachi jumps into the sea, and you are going to, until Johnny stops you. "Y/n! Help Big Bro Zoro!" He points to Zoro. You grit your teeth, desperately wanting to go in the water, but Zoro needed your help! You nodded.

"There's no need to be concerned, since you'll all be dead." Zoro loses focus, and Arlong stabs his nose into Zoro's chest. "ZORO!!!!"

"BIG BRO!!!"

Arlong is holding Zoro by his neck with one hand. You charge up to Arlong, trying to catch him by surprise with your water sword, but he stops your sword, then grabs your face with his hand and slams you head first into the ground. It felt like your skull was going to split any moment. You could feel the blood dripping down onto your eye, and your whole body goes limp. Arlong presses his foot onto your chest, causing you to whimper in pain from your broken ribs.

Usopp watches in horror. "ZORO! Y/N!!!" "So that was it? Too quick." Arlong says in disgust. "I must say, you're quite disappointing Water Bearer." he turns his attention to Zoro. "What's up with these bandages? Did you fall somewhere?"

Zoro lets out a cry in pain when Arlong rips the bandages off. You gasp, shocked to see Zoro's scar. It is a long diagonal scar, from his left shoulder down to his right hip. Arlong looks shocked too. 'He shouldn't be alive after something like that!!' you thought, shocked.

There is a pool of blooding forming, on the ground below Zoro's feet, as the wound has reopened. Arlong pulls back his fist, ready to deal the final blow on Zoro, but stops when Zoro smiles. "If a person stays put, their wounds won't be reopened." Arlong smirks. "That's right. You find your situation amusing?"

It then dawns on you. Hachi. "I'm not talking about me....... I'm talking about the Octo-man." Arlong's eyes widen. "What?!" You grin, "I thought I told you....."

"We win this game." both of you finish.

Underwater............

Hachi stops and lets out a cry in pain as his wounds burst open, and his blood stains the water surrounding him, as he floats to the bottom. Nojiko is shocked, but relieved. Azul smirks, knowing this would happen. Sanji goes over and breaks the rock with one kick, and the three of them watch in satisfaction, as Luffy's body goes up to the surface.

"Whoa!!" Gen struggles to hold Luffy's head up. His body reaches to his neck, and he goes flying into the air. You turn to the sound of Luffy's cry and look up to see him falling toward you and Zoro. "WAAAHH!! I'M BACK!!"

Usopp collapses in relief. Johnny and Yosaku have tears of relief streaming down their face. You and Nami's faces light up, and huge smiles form on your face. "LUFFY!!!" you both exclaim.

"That damn rubber man...."

Zoro looks up, feeling glad to see him, not showing it of course. "You're late, idiot." You panic when you see Luffy stretch one arm onto you and Zoro's shoulders. "Y/n! Zoro!"

Zoro's eyes widen. "Huh?! Hey! Stop it!"

"L-L-Luffy!!! You're not gonna-"

You are cut off as Luffy pulls you and Zoro up to him, and you let out a long scream, comical tears streaming down your face. "LET'S SWITCH.......PLACEEEEESS!!!" He sends you and Zoro flying through the air. "YOU IDIOT!!!" the villagers yelled.

"ZORO!! DO SOMETHING!!!!"

"YOU CONTROL WATER!!! FIGURE IT OUT!!"

You create a large hand to catch Zoro, and it gently places him on the ground, but you run out of time to do so for yourself, but he catches you bridal style, but at the same time collapsing on the brick steps. The both of you lay there, trying to catch your breath. "That idiot......" he says in between breaths.

"I'm going to kill him...." you wheeze. " It's great we have the same idea, but I already saved you. So get off me."

It is then you see your position. Your face is on Zoro's chest, your arms wrapped around his neck, and his arms around your waist. You try to get back up, but end up falling back on him, putting all of your weight on his wound. "OUCH!!"

"Sorry!"

"Get off!"

"I can't!!"

"Why not dumbass?!"

You are about to say something back, until black dots start to dance around your vision, and Zoro's voice fades out slowly. "Oi! Y/n! Y/n! Don't you dare pass out on me!!" That's the last thing you remember before passing out cold, leaving a very worried Zoro.

But in the time you were knocked out, you remembered that day, 10 years ago.

Trigger Warning; If you don't like blood or torture scenes

"Someone murdered my mommy."

"Oh dear....... Come with me." You grabbed Makinoś hand as she lead you towards her house. She then gave you a new shirt that white with black sleeves and a pair of baggy blue shorts. As you were taking off your old clothes, you realized that there was blood rubbed onto your shirt from your father. It was your mother's blood.

"These are boy clothes but they seem to fit you fine. So did you see the person that killed your mother?" "No." you mutter quietly. Makino took one last look at you, but then led you back to the bar. "There is someone I would like you to meet. He is very nice and I think you two will get along just fine."

"Okay." Your voice had no emotion in it. You were like a robot, commanded to answer with no care. Before you can go to the bar though, standing at the front was your father. You gasp, your whole body starting to shake. Makino looked down at you, but then back at your father.

Makino manages a small smile. "It's nice to see you again, Mr. L/n." The male rolls his eyes. "Wish I could say the same. Why is y/n with you?" Makino looks at you sadly. "Her mother was killed."

Your father goes silent, but then lets out a long cackling laugh that churns your stomach. "Is that what she told you?! Well she's a huge liar!! She is the one that killed her!!"

Makino gasps in shock at this. "What?! No way!" Your father only continues to laugh. "You're really gonna believe a 7 year old over a ranking Marine?! Hand her over to me." "I'm sorry sir but-"

"Let go." You yank your wrist out of Makino's grip, turning to face her. Makino's heart shatters when she sees your sad expression. Tears were streaming down your face and you were sobbing. "It's okay. It's going to be fine, Right? Makino-san?"

She can't control herself as she starts to cry, pulling you into a tight hug. "Don't let that man ever break you. Not your smile, your laugh. Your dream; ever!" she whispers.

You nod, giving her one last hug before going over to your father. He grabs your wrist roughly and takes you to the Marine's ship he came on. When you step on, the ship leaves the island. When you are a good distance away, he slaps you hard across the cheek, that you go flying into the ship's railing. You cry out in pain as your back hits the wooden railing.

"Didn't I say not to tell anyone?!" he roars. "I-I I didn't! All Makino-san knows is that someone killed Mommy!" "Is that so?" he snarls. "Maybe I'll go back and execute her."

That was the last straw. You grab the knife you took from your house and yell as you charge at your father. You stab the knife into his lower chest, but it does nothing. He smirks, grabbing you by the neck, with a sickly smile on his face. "You tried to stab dear Daddy. You'll have to be punished."

He leads you into the ship, ignoring your thrashing and screaming, for not one of the soldiers looks to help you. Finally you enter a dark room, until your father flicks on a switch. There is a table, with arm, leg and neck leather restraints. He throws you onto the table, and puts each of them on you, despite the fact your screaming at him, cussing every word you know, but he is not fazed in the slightest.

"Vanya!"

A girl with long blonde hair and glasses comes up to your father. She has stitches from one side of her forehead to the other, and has a white coat on along with a clipboard. "Yes, sir?" she responds. "I brought you my daughter. You said you wanted to try that, didn't you?"

Vanya's eyes widen. "You don't mean..."

"Have fun."

Vanya starts to jump up and down, then kneels down to your level. She has a friendly smile on her face, until your father leaves the room. Her smile fades and is replaced with a terrifying grin. "What's your name, hon?"

Your lip quivers, you're so afraid to answer. Then again, you're afraid to even breathe. Seeing as you won't answer, Vanya gets up and moves out of your line of vision. When she comes back, she places a metal cart next to you. You're horrified to see a scalpel in her hand. "Don't move now. Or this'll hurt. Well, more than it should anyways."

She slowly, starts to cut down across your stomach, making you scream and cry in pain. "My, my~You have such lovely skin." She slows down even more. "We'll have to change that."

Outside, your father smirks at the sound of your screams. He then pulls out a blue fruit, with strange swirled marks as it's pattern. "Now, all we need, is for y/n to eat this."

Timeskip...............

It had been about three days since Vanya started to torment you, and she didn't seem like stopping any time soon. She had went from scalpels to navy swords and even whips. But today, she let you off the table. "You look a little pale. Go to your father."

You collapse on your knees, you were bloody and bruised. Your clothes from Makino were too shredded to even be called clothes anymore. There was a large mirror, so you slowly inched your way there. You were horrified at your reflection.

You had blood stained over the remaining scraps of your clothes, and there were several cuts you got from a whip all along your arm and your legs. You turned around and saw them on your back too, all long and deep, not a single one was shallow. But the worst part, was that your right shoulder, had a Navy Mark burned into your skin. Seeing it made you feel like puking. Your father branded you, like you were some kind of prize possession.

"VANYA!"

"Y-y-yes sir?!"

"Why is she out of her restraints?!"

"Well she lost a lot of blood, and for me to continue the experiment, I need her skin to not look like a freaking snow ball!!"

"Just do it!! We're running out of time!!!" You notice a blue fruit in your father's hand. He looks at you and then pins you to the wall. You try to struggle, but you were so weak from the torture and blood loss. "EAT THIS YOU BRAT!!"

He shoves the fruit in your mouth, and you have no choice but to chew it up. When you are done, he picks you up, and straps you back down. Only this time, there are cuffs made of Sea Prism holding you down. And he has you strapped so your stomach is down on the cold metal table. "Do it Vanya."

Vanya nods, and grabs and pulls up your shirt, pausing, to figure out where to cut. "Okay, sweetie! I'm going to count to three and then insert the scalpel gently. Ready?" You let out a whimper, but suddenly you feel weaker than before, like the chains were making you weaker...

"One........THREEE!!!"

She stabs the scalpel deep into the top center of your back. You scream out in pain, this had hurt worse than before, and she then sliced horizontal from shoulder to shoulder, and digging deeper and deeper into your skin. She then did the same, from the top of your back, down to the end of your spine. You felt something cold and metallic being inserted into your back. "I'm gonna put some bandages on this. You won't be needing stitches."

"Make sure she doesn't lose too much blood." your father mutters. He slams the door closed again, and Vanya finishes wrapping the bandages. She undoes your chains, flipping you onto your back. "Why are you doing this to me?!" you cry.

Vanya smiles. "Because it's fun." She stabs the scalpel in your lower right gut, and does it again and again. Over and over.

Mercilessly.

Your voice is being drowned out, no matter how loud you are screaming.

All you see is red.

You can faintly hear someone calling out to you.

"Y/n! Y/n! Wake up! Wake up!"

~~End Flashback~~

You scream bloody murder, sitting up, and banging into something hard. You are shaking and sweating. It's dark, but you can faintly see orange hair. Orange. Nami. "N-N-Nami?"

"Jeez that hurt! You've got a tough skull!" Your vision focuses, and you see Nami clutching her forehead in pain. She has a dark blue shirt on, and her blue skirt from before. It is then you see that it's daytime. And you're in a bed, on a ship.

"Is this the.........Going Merry?" you ask looking around. "Yeah. You've been knocked out ever since that idiot threw you and Zoro. Long story short, Luffy kicked his ass and we're sailing."

"I see......"

"But, I'm worried about you, y/n." You frown. "Why?" Nami's eyes widen in surprise. "Didn't you hear yourself?! You were screaming, begging for some "f/n" to stop, and you were crying." You gasp. "You heard that?!"

Nami nods. "Yeah. Is there anything you want to tell me?" "...Well I-"

You are cut off when you hear Luffy's loud laugh. You jump out of bed, and dash out the room, despite Nami's protests. When you step out into the sunlight, you squint your eyes in pain, and look to see Luffy holding up his wanted posters and yours:

Monkey D. Luffy: 30 million berries

Y/F/N: 100 million berries.

"Shishishishi!! We're wanted criminals!"

"Psh! I've always had a bounty! Besides, mine's still higher than yours!" You are going to tease Luffy more, until his face turns red and he turns away. Usopp looks the other way, embarrassed. "What's wrong?"

"Y/n-chaaaan I heard your lovely voice a-" Sanji stops when he sees you, and has a huge nosebleed before falling on the floor. You are still very confused, until Nami smacks the back of your head. "BAKA!!!"

"OUCH!! What was that for?!"

"LOOK DOWN!!!"

You do so, and see that you don't have a shirt on. Your whole chest is wrapped up with bandages, and you have your regular s/f/c pants on. Your face turns crimson red, and you wrap your arms over your chest, curling up into a little ball. "LOOK AWAY!!!!!!"

Nami drags you back into the room, slamming the door. All three of the guys are speechless. "Hey Usopp?" Luffy asks. "W-what?"

"Why..........didn't I want to look away from y/n?"

Sanji comes back to life smacking Luffy on the head and kicking him. "YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY LOVELY OCEAN PRINCESS PERVERT!!!" "YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!!" Usopp yells back.

Back in the room, Nami is lecturing you about how to dress, and saying you need to "swoon the men" and be "head over heels". The whole time you pretend to be interested, but have a blank look on your face. Nami sighs, seeing you were registering a word of what she was saying. "Here, put "

She hands you to change into. But, before you begin to, you turn to look at Nami, with a pleading face. "I'm kind of, self conscious.......Do you mind......you know...."

Nami sighs, but obeys, as she closes the door, and when she leaves you immediately locking it. Then, you take off your bandages, revealing your scars on your back. You stared at the Navy brand and scars, remembering the pain that you felt. Tears start to pool in your eyes, but you quickly wipe them away. You put on the outfit, only to find that it exposes the right scar on your gut. But, as long as it covered the one on your back, you couldn't care less.

You liked the fact you got to keep your f/c boots, and they suited the outfit quite well. Lastly, you slip two daggers into your boots, one in each, and are about to put your last one away, until you hear shuffling in the room. It's coming from behind the bed you were sleeping on. You hold the dagger up, walking to the other side of the bed. You strike down, only for it to be blocked by a white katana sheathe. The person pins you down on the bed, holding your wrists with their hands and using their knees to pin your thighs down. When you look up at the culprit, it's none other than Zoro.

"Oi, what's with the Navy brand on your back"
