Tooru's age: 13
"Let Tooru go. Keep me, let her go!!"
Tooru shook her head, tears pouring from her eyes, but no words formed in her mouth.
"If anyone, we're keeping the girl. We've no use for a woman like you, we want women who still have their virginity." the lead bandit smirked at Tooru's mother.
"Stop it! She's still young! She's a kid!!"
"Yeah, yeah, we don't give a shit what you say, woman. Move them along!"
-
Tooru opened her eyes to find herself in an enclosed area. She looked around, blinking as her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, and spotted her mother lying down near her.
"Mother!" she gasped, and ran towards her, dropping to her knees as she neared her mother.
"Tooru?" her mother opened her eyes weakly, the word barely audible. She tried to prop herself up on an elbow, and ended up gasping in pain as her ankle brushed against the floor. Tooru stole a glance at it and her stomach almost turned on itself.
"Are they going to fix your ankle, at least?" Tooru whispered, blinking back tears. Her ankle was most obviously infected, without treatment she'd likely die within a few days.
"You know the answer to that, Tooru."
-
"Mother. Please.. hold on. Maybe we can– find a way out.. or..." Tooru shook her head, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes.
"Don't cry." her mother whispered, feebly reaching out a hand to stroke Tooru's hair. "Tooru, you're a special person. Especially regarding who your father is. You're going to make it out of here, and you're going to change the world."
"M-Mother.. I don't want to change the world. I just want my world to have you in it."
Tooru's mother disregarded these words.
"I... I... can see it in your eyes, Tooru."
"M–Mo... Mother!" Even as she said these words, she felt the life drain from her mother's body.
"W-Why?" the tears flowed freely now. Tooru lowered her voice to a whisper, so that no one but her own dead soul could hear. "If love is so painful and tragic..."
"Then I don't need love."
-
In the days following, Tooru had been brought to a room with a devil fruit, and two men.
"What am I doing here?" her voice was hoarse, being unused for days.
"Allow me to explain." One of the men stepped forward. "This is a devil fruit."
"I can see that."
"Yeah but, it's a really strong devil fruit. Uh... we've no idea what it's called, but it can create life."
That got Tooru interested. "Can it recreate a life that's happened before?"
The man frowned. "I'd assume no–"
"I'm not interested. Leave me alone."
"J-just hear me out! Boss's orders, anyway." he added under his breath. "With that devil fruit, you can get DNA from two people, and create a new life from that DNA. We'd assume that the child that emerges will also possess some of the devil fruit user's DNA, however we are... unsure. But with this devil fruit, you can create formidable 'humans', if that's what you want to call the things you've created. With DNA from the right people, the child could grow surprisingly strong, with strength combined from both DNA donors."
Tooru listened to all of this. "And what's in it for me?"
"Your freedom."
Too good to be true. It was a lie, had to be a lie. "That's too suspicious of an offer." she said out loud.
"Yeah, that's the thing. This devil fruit can only be used by... virgins. Do one thing for us with this devil fruit, and you're free."
So Tooru did. And what she created was Y/N.
-
"So, who are my two DNA donors?" Y/N gasped.
"Straight to the point then? Fine. The two people I'd gotten DNA from were Gol. D Roger, and Kozuki Oden."
Yamato's breathing hitched. So that was how Y/N was so damn strong. He had strength from both Roger and Oden.
"Ace was my brother." Y/N's eyes were wide.
"But what are you doing to Y/N? How are you hurting him??" Yamato grinded her teeth at Tooru.
"When I hurt myself, he'll feel the pain. But triple it."
Yamato's eyes widened. "What's your purpose in revealing yourself today? Why... Did Kaido keep you locked up and unable to hurt yourself all these years?"
Tooru nodded. "That's exactly right, and I hate that he's dead before I could fucking kill him."
"Please." Yamato watched Tooru. "Is there a way to free Y/N? To... make him a normal human?"
Tooru laughed bitterly. "There's no way he'll ever be a normal human. But you can free him by killing me. He'll be free from the pain I can cause him."
And Yamato didn't even give Tooru's words a second thought as she launched herself at her, snatching Tooru's knife from her grip and sliced her throat cleanly from her chin to her collarbone. And Tooru didn't even try to stop her.
That's when Yamato knew something was wrong.
