Believer's Sins [Reborn In One Piece]

IX

I run to him after he's collapsed.
-SABO!

He hardly open his eyes and let out a weak speech.

-wh..at a..re y..ou do..ing here... Her..tha..?

-shut up! I knew you were doing something reckless!

I look at the guy in a robe that covers his whole body and facei

-will you help my brother and I?

He nods.

-carry him, he's too heavy.. for.. me...

I almost faint but I keep it together.

-let run away now...

I see him smile, what is he smiling for?!

He carry us both and make a way with some superpower.

-you don't seem surprised by my super powers.

-I rather not get surprised anymore, with what this kid is doing everyday, I would have had a heart attack 20times a day.

He let out a small chuckle with his husky voice.

-isn't it a devil fruit that gave you those powers?

-you seem to know what it is, are you interested in becoming a Marine?

-no, that's shitty, I want to become a pirate.

He looks at me confused.

-I want to kill all the rotten noble in this useless country and make my closest friend the queen, then sail away and enjoy my freedom.

-that's a big dream you got there.

-i'll be know worldwide as Miracle Hertha.

-well, it seems like you thought well about your pirate life haha.

-I did.

He put us in front of the main gate

-please save them all.

-I will try.

Then I knock 2, 4 then 4 times. And the gates open up.

-you're still alive?

-call someone to carry my little brother, and here are some gold coins.

-of course my lady~!

Rotten assholes.

They carry me too as I'm too tired to even tilt my head a little. They ring on the door and introduce my brother for the servants to take care of him. I sneak into my room and take off all of my clothes and put on a nightgown (too tired to bath), and hardly reach my bed as I faint.

I wake up the next day, aching everywhere. I call Rosa.
-Rosa, you can keep secrets right?

-even from the Duke and duchess?

-yes, especially from them.

-i'm sorry I can't.

-well, thank you for your honesty. You're a very trustworthy person. Can you help me bath and keep what you see on my body a secret?

-what kind of- My lady! Did you...?

At the end, she thought that I did all those bruises to myself and treated them after the bath. She kept it a secret even from the other servants and told me that she'll be the only one to help me put on my clothes from now on (until they heal properly).

I wonder what will happen now...

I go to Sabo's room, and sit next to his bed. I stay there, looking at his bruises and injuries.
