132. One Piece: ASL~ A Monster

"Get Doc! NOW!!" Blenheim shouted from the Marine Ship they had just secured,

Everyone that was on the deck - which were, Marco, Ace, Sabo, Thatch, Vista, Izo & Fossa (of the Commanders) - looked to the side of the ship, where Blenheim jumped up onto, holding a limp figure. They could tell by the smell and the pool of blood already forming around his feet that it wasn't good.

"Is she still alive?" Izo asked in disbelief

"She was a minute ago!" Blenheim said, tilting his head back,

Doc came rushing out and over to Blenheim, who knelt to let her take a look.

"She's alive, for now." Doc said, looking to Whitebeard

As soon as he gave a nod of approval, she snatched the bleeding girl from Blenheim and took off through the halls of the ship, yelling and shouting at people to move and her orders could be heard for a while as she made her way to the medical bay.

"Blenheim, who is Doc treating?" Thatch asked him, not looking away from the door

"No idea. She was a prisoner on the marine ship...we didn't do that to her. Poor kid, as soon as we took off her chains she started attack. She went crazy," Blenheim shook his head,

"Did she hurt anyone?" Sabo asked in worry,

"She hurt everyone, but not bad enough that they need Doc. The nurses can just put band aids on the scratches," Blenheim shrugged his shoulders,

"Go get washed up son. Did we capture any of them?" Whitebeard asked,

"They either jumped ship, or were killed," Blenheim told him before he left to get washed up,

"Hey Ace..." Sabo said, pointing at one of the wounded

"Hey! Can you describe her?" Ace shouted, rushing over to the guy who just came on

"Wh-What?" the guy asked, confused

"The girl who attacked you!" Ace shouted, grabbing him by his shoulders

"You mean the Beast? She - It..." the guy shivered, his eyes held fear,

"White Hair, in every direction...eyes filled with blood lust...." someone else said, as he held his arm

Others gave description, Ace's body tensed up and Sabo's fists clenched tight enough to draw blood.

"You know her - Oi?" Marco asked the two boys,

"If it's who we think it is...if she dies. The Marines are going to have hell to pay." Sabo said, as Ace kept his head down and he didn't move a single muscle

"Sabo...I'm going to wait outside..." Ace said, going through the door and towards the Medical Bay

"She grew up with us...she's the reason I'm still alive and escaped with a burn...she's supposed to be back home, she wasn't supposed to be on the waters for another year," Sabo told them, his face pale as he stared at the pool of blood

Thatch stepped in front of him, so he wouldn't be looking at that. Izo wrapped his arm around his shoulders,

"Let's go wait with Ace, I'll stay with you boys," Izo told him as he lead him inside,

~Point of View Change, & Time Skip a Week~

I sat up quickly, as soon as I realized I wasn't chained up anymore.

"Take it easy, you wake up as soon as the boys leave too," a woman chuckled,

I narrowed my eyes at her in suspicion, body going tense as I watched her movements. She walked slowly as she came to my side, telling me about every move she made and what she was doing. She also answered my questions. I relaxed, and laid back down - with her help.

"Where did they go?" I asked her, eyes closed

"Pops ordered them to take a bath, eat and go sleep. They hadn't left your side in a week, eating very little. I haven't told you my name, have I? I'm the Head Doctor, Suzue," the woman said,

"I was given the name Tora," I told her, keeping my eyes closed

"I'm glad you're awake Tora, get some more rest." she told me, before she left.

"What?" Ace snapped, as he came onto the deck with Sabo, a harsh glare on his face

"Jeez, I thought you would be happy to see me awake," I pouted at him,

His eyes widened in shock, Sabo reacted first and ran to me, picking me up in his arms and holding me gently, his head on my shoulder and hat on the ground. Ace joined our hug in the same position as Sabo was. I relaxed and leaned my back against Ace as I wrapped my arms around Sabo. Taking in their scents.

"I'm safe..." I croaked out, as tears slipped

"Yes you are," Sabo said, lifting his head and smiling brightly at me,

Sabo let go, but Ace wouldn't. He tightened his hold, Sabo picked up his & Ace's hat.

"Ace...we should get her something to eat, I doubt she would go inside or eat anything they offered," Sabo said, speaking softly

"Not at all, even if her stomach yelled at her to eat it," Thatch sighed dramatically,

"...I'm going to kill all of them." Ace muttered against my skin,

"G-san will be mad," I patted his hand,

"I'm pretty sure he'd help him," Sabo piped up with a smile,

"Sabo...that's going over board," I shook my head, flinching when Ace squeezed me too tightly

"Over board?! Killing the guys who tortured you is Overboard!?" Blenheim yelled, his voice echoing across the deck, pure anger coming from his voice

"...You saw me...I even hurt your crew...I know you won't hurt me, because of Ace & Sabo but if -" I started, getting cut off by Ace whacking me on my head

"Idiot! Stop thinking that crap! You're not a Monster!" Ace snapped,

"No we wouldn't have, you were acting out of fear! All of us understood that," one of the guys I injured said, coming over with his arm in a sling

"Didn't you say her eyes were filled with blood lust?" Sabo gave him a look of confusion,

"Oh, that was when she saw a marine Takao had tied up, and this, the marine broke it. She just made it worse," the guy shrugged his shoulders,

"She's more of a Beast than a Monster," a guy with brown hair, brown eyes & tattoo on his right shoulder/arm,

"What did you just say?" Ace growled, glaring at him

"She's part Animal, and when pissed can be Terrifying, which is the definition of Beast. If she was Human and I called her that, it would be insulting," the guy said,

"Takao! Don't be a dick," the guy who's arm was in a Sling smacked Takao upside the head,

"Sorry, could have said that more nicely," Takao apologized,

"...He's right," Sabo & Ace said at the same time, looking at me

"What?" I frowned at them,

"You're hiding. You don't need to do that here, it'll take awhile for everyone to get used to you," Vista chuckled, messing up my hair

I looked to Ace & Sabo, they both grinned. I smiled a little, letting my tail and ears come out. That's more comfortable, but....I looked around, no one was grimacing or glaring at me with hatred. I smiled and relaxed, jumping in surprise when Whitebeard suddenly started laughing. Ace wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Come on! Let's eat! Thatch! Food!!" Ace shouted, as he dragged me to the Galley,

Idiot, I sighed, shaking my head while Sabo followed behind us with a Chuckle.
