I've had this in one of my folders for quite some time now, I just couldn't seem to get rid of this sick plot of torturing Ace (WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! HOW COULD I TORTURE HIM!) and I just had to write it down, so I thought why not post it too? Right? So...here we are xD

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, I only own the plot.

More red slowly followed the traced line down the battered figure to make dripping noises as it travelled down to land on the cell floor, it was intermingle with the sound of a whip hitting skin followed by more harsh breathing and sounds of laughter that seem to resonate across the small cell, mocking the person. The whipping continued for what seemed like an eternity for the figure as he gritted his teeth with every whip, adamant to not make a sound much to the displeasure of his tormenter.

"There's no point in keeping silent, you know? I've already heard you delicious screams more times than I can count." The tormenter told him, licking his lips as if said person's pain was ambrosia on his taste buds.

Said person shaking with the effort to move his head, glared darkly at his tormenter as he stubbornly kept silent.

"I must admit I'm impressed that you can still keep up that facade of yours even after how much time you've spent here and endured my fun, it really goes beyond ones expectations, you know? It would be so inspiring to your little "family" if they ever found out, don't you think? Especially your little brother! He would be so proud of his big brother!" The tormenter laughed with mirth as he praised the shackled man before his face turned dark and his mouth twisted into an ugly scowl as he sneered at the man "alas, they will never know how much their precious little Ace's been suffering while they were off sailing the Grand Line."

Ace only continued to glare at him, not liking Ace's response, his tormentor grabbed a fist full of his hair and pulled his head closer to him before he said-stated because he said it like it was a fact, " Nobody is coming to save you, so why don't you just scream like the trash you're? Huh?!" He was yelling by the end of his sentence.

"Tch..."

Ace's abuser raised his eyebrow slightly as Ace look him in the eye, "are you done bitching? ...I'm going deaf just by... listening to your whining." Ace said as evenly as possible, though his voice was failing him as he tried to breathe without feeling bursts of pain every time he inhaled or exhaled.

His abuser's face immediately contorted with fury as he yelled "son of a bitch!" while he repeatedly kicked him in the chest and stomach as Ace wheezed for breath.

After a while of continuously being kicked, he finally stopped. Ace's gasped for air as he fought to stay conscious as the world started to blur and fade out, "Guess that's it for today huh? Don't want you dying on me because I went overboard, would I?" He signalled the guard that was stationed at the door of the cell as he left. The guard went into the cell and unshackled Ace from the wall and put seastone cuffs on him before he closed the door to the cell as Ace lay crumpled on the floor.

... I can't move...it hurts...everything hurts so fucking much... how much more of this can I take... why won't it stop...make it stop...

Nobody's going to make it stop, the voice that's been at odds with me since I arrived at this hellhole said.

Shut up.

You know what he said was the truth, nobody's coming for you.

Shut up.

How long have we been here? I'm sure it has been at least two years now; if anyone wanted to save us they've done it a long time ago.

You don't know that.

Yes I do, and you know it too, after all, I'm you.

Somebody's is going to come for me; I won't be stuck here forever, I argued.

That's a nice thought, but that's all it is, a nice thought. Nobody is coming, and you know the main reason why; it's because they all think your dead, remember? No family or friends of ours is going to think that their precious little Ace that they think is dead was being tortured in a dark cell every day. And don't even think of escaping on your own, you can't even stand led alone escape.

Ace could not think of anything to retort to that statement because it was the truth. But wanting to believe that he wouldn't be stuck here forever, that someday -because he doesn't think it'll be anytime soon -someone would find out that he was alive and come and save him. Until then, he would try his best to stay alive and as sane as one can be after being tortured for a long period of time.

I'm sorry for making Ace sound pathetic... and that the prologue's kinda dark (I think?) and for the mistakes I'm sure I made throughout the whole chapter because there are something wrong with my eyes as I can't seem to find the mistakes even though I know there're there... Please review and tell me your opinion if you guys would like me to go into detail on Ace's torture.
