37 | Brainwashed

Sanji awoke.

Instead of chains around his neck and metal bracelets curving around his wrists, he was comfortable. The velvet sheets that covered him were a perfect warmth, and he didn't feel like he was in much pain anymore.

The sun glittered and shone through the window, lighting up the golden room. It looked as though it were built for a princess. Everything was neat, it all looked extremely expensive and pricey.

"Morning Sunshine." A voice spoke from beside him as Sanji straightened up. Sanji turned his head and locked eyes with Ichiji, who happily watched him.

"Tired? It was a long day yesterday, so I wouldn't be surprised." Ichiji sat on a chair cross legged, holding a cup of tea in his hand. Sanji stayed silent, turning back and staring at the ceiling.

"Not talking? That's fine."

The silence continued for a while.

"How does it feel to be one of us Sanji? Does it feel nice, finally being able to let go of those emotions?" 

"Good."

Sanji voice was quiet. He spoke as if he couldn't feel a thing, it was like he had become a machine.

Ichiji chuckled at Sanji's response.

"I prefer when you don't scream and cry like a child all the time, you suit our style far more." Ichiji tangled his fingers in Sanji's hair and leaned closer to him.

"There's only one thing left to do," 

Sanji looked up at Ichiji with a blank expression.

"I need to make you forget everything about your crew, and specially the green haired swordsman."

...

"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!"

Zoro tugged at his chains and cursed at the men who stood in front of his cell.

"I SWEAR THAT WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE I WILL DRAG ALL OF YOUR ASSES TO FUCKING HELL!" 

"Shut up!" One of the men banged on the bar to quiet Zoro down.

"Prince Niji and Yonji will be here soon. They said that they've planned a surprise. Try keep quiet until then ey?" 

Zoro snarled at them but laid back. He had been straining his voice for far too long, and he wasn't planning on losing his ability to speak for a while.

...

Zoro heard shoes step down the stairs case, he lifted his head and watched as the two men entered into his field of view.

Niji and Yonji. The second and fourth sons of Germa walked down the stairs and continued until they stopped at Zoro's cell.

"Well, well, looks like the dog has finally finished barking~." Niji singsonged as he spun the rusty key in his fingers.

"Fucking bastards.." Zoro said under his breath.

"Hm? I couldn't hear you dog, you'll need to bark a bit louder." Yonji said, smirking.

"I said that you're a fucking bastard!" 

"Now now puppy, we aren't here to fight. All we want to do is talk business." Niji said, sticking the key into the hole but not yet turning it. Zoro snarled at them, cursing them in his mind.

"We talked to one of your 'little friends', and we made a deal. You live, you go back to your friends- they pay us a decent amount and everyone walks away happy, does that sound right?" Niji asked.

"Sanji."

"Hm?" Yonji raised an eyebrow.

"What are you going to do to him." Zoro growled.

"Oh? Do you mean for our little deal?"

"I'm taking him with me. We're going back together." Zoro stated. Niji and Yonji exchanged glances before bursting into hysterical laughter.

"Ha! You think he's coming back with you!?" Yonji said through laughter.

"..what?.." Zoro stared at the two brothers with a confused face.

"You see Roronoa- Sanji doesn't want  to go back to your friends with you, he told us he wants to stay here with his lovely family." Niji said.

Zoro's heart sank and his eyes widened.

"..Y-you..brain-washed him..?" 

"I guess you could say that." Yonji chuckled.

Zoro's teeth clenched and his anger erupted like a volcano.

"YOU FUCKING BRAINWASHED HIM?!!!"
