Edit: Beta'd by Amorphous Sapphire. Arigato gozaimass!

The sound of whip touching my bare- bloodied- skin could be heard, I pressed my lips even harder trying to suppress a scream.

A grin appeared on my tormentor's lips, laughing sadistically .

" What happened brat? Lost the energy to scream?. Aww too bad- " He said as he roughly pulled my hair closer to his face.

" - You don't have a choice but to scream, Because that's what I want and I'll get what I want " He said as he push my body to the cold bloodied floor.

He kept on, my lungs burning. Gasping for air, I fell to the ground. The tormentor laughed thinking I'll finally scream- But, No I wouldn't- I couldn't.

" Useless shit, I still don't know why master is keeping a piece of trash like you" He said spatting every word. He was about to attack when ' Master ' came with men- more of his slaves, barely dressed and more healthy than the ones in the cells that are starving to death. But I couldn't care less about them, slaves are slaves dressed nicely or not we're all the same.

Ever since that day... this has been my new life. This is my destiny, they say. Because I am just useless trash.

They've already repeated it many times, even in my sleep I can still hear their voice.

" You're a son of a Demon! You don't deserve to live! "

" Useless trash! "

I chuckled darkly, I remember when I asked them. When I asked master why I don't deserve to live, why are they doing this. That's when I learned not to speak if not asked by the master

-Flashback-

3rd Person's POV

" Why? " Ace asked breathlessly

The tall silver-haired man, stopped in his tracks. Not bothering to face the bloodied teen

" Why are you doing this?- Why I don't deserve to live?- " Ace said clutching his chest- It feels like burning. He tried to lift both of his hand that were bound with Sea-stone cuffs

The man, smirked and turned his heels to face the bloodied teen. Crouching to the teen's eye level

" Because your the son of my enemy. The man I hated the most, The man who calls himself ' king ' The man who took everything from me. Your demon father, Gol D Roger " He said

He smirks and snapped his fingers " And you are not allowed to speak, My pet. But as an exception for a newbie like you.. They will at least be a bit careful. Boys- Start the procedure. Saint Charles will be glad to see this man with his mark. " He said as he left

The group of men, Grinned sadistically. Two of them grabbed the teen roughly at his shoulders and dragged him to their special room for markings.

Tied to the bloodied wall with chains, Ace hung loosely obviously out of energy. He was innocent and new the world so he didn't know what they were going to do. His senses also refused to work properly.

The furnace was turned on by them. A metal plate with a carving, The carving ; The hoof of the flying dragon

Immediately, After heating up the metal plate they pushed the plate to the teen's skin.

Ace screamed out of pain, he thought he couldn't scream anymore. But he's wrong. Until he became numb to the pain. He didn't realize that they're finish already.

Ace's POV

" I didn't know you were the quiet type, Pet " His master said with a smirk

Instead of answering I lowered my head.

" Tch, Bring him to the cell. I don't want to see this trash face until night, He will be leaving at Midnight according to St. Charles orders" Then they took me to my cell.

Dragging me by the collar attached at my neck. I was holding on to the chains hoping to ease the burning pain in my wrists.

He throw me into the cold empty cell, I curled in a corner feeling the could touch of the metal bars beside me.

Slowly my eyes shut adoring the cold ground I lay on the floor.

I shot my eyes open, I was In Darkness

Complete and Utter darkness, Dirt surround my body.

Desperately I struggled to dig the dirt.

After I made a hole, I climb up

I scanned my surroundings, The grass beneath me, The salty air, The seagulls flying.

I just realize... that I couldn't remember anything and panic slowly crept into me. I turned around trying to figure out why, I don't remember anything.

I froze when my eyes gaze hit the gigantic monument beside where I am,

Edward-Newgate

Tears slowly formed on my eyes, Anger and Guilt filled my mind.

My mind is asking ' Why ' Though I don't know why...

I heard footsteps, I turned around to meet two men

They stopped at their tracks when they saw me.

" I-Is that- Fire-fist?! " One of them exclaimed

" I-Imppossible! "

Why?, Why is it Impossible) ., I asked them, out of curiosity :

" Why is it so Impossible? " I asked

They took a step back " S-stay away! "

I looked at them obviously confused.

Then a silver-haired man came, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Nearly falling

" Fire-Fist " He said with pure disbelief

Something about him made me flinch and move backwards,

" How- How did you live after that? How did you live after Akainu attacked you at the War of the best? "

I stared at him, War of the best?

" W-what? " I said taking another step back.

Something clicked in the other man's mind, his shocked emotion was replaced by a smirk that promised nothing but pain.

He snap his fingers-

I opened my eyes as I breath heavily, I stand up to try to calm myself...

It wasn't a dream... It was a memory.. The start of all their tortures

" Oi Did you heard? About Marco the Phoenix? " A voice said that I think is from one of the slaves guarding the cells everynight.

Marco the Phoenix.I turned my head to the two slaves

Why does that name sound so familiar? Why everytime I hear laughter and cries at the same time? Why every time I'll hear that name I always think of family?

The other one nodded and answered " Yeah, I heard he is now a yonko. He replaced Akagami right?
