Training Arc: Lucci

Sorry for the late updates!! Personal matter, but I won't bore you with the details! This chapter has a slight implication of SA so please be aware if you will be reading! It is only for a paragraph or two since it's a little triggering for me to write too!  I'll put the numbers 7654 before and after the words with mentions of SA so you're able to skip them if you'd like. There's also some pretty vulgar descriptions of violence so be aware of that as well! I'll put the numbers 1098 before and after so you can skip them too. Enjoy!

It was said that there was a hero among Fishman Island: Fisher Tiger. His heroic deeds were known throughout the island for generations upon generations. Many former slaves owed their lives to him as he risked his to save them, all of them. The tragedy of the story is that the man could've lived if he had gotten a blood transfusion. As the story goes, no human would even think of donating their blood to such a species. The thought of their blood coursing through the veins of a monster, of a freak, like them was unfathomable and quite repulsive to humans. 

With that being said, it is an unspoken rule not to offer your blood to a human on Fishman Island. If you did, there was a group of Punishers that would rain down their wrath upon you. That is why despite the people we begged and their regretful expressions, their fists clenching at the want and the lack of action, they all denied us. 

Sanji had less than an hour to live and despite the hundreds of people we flew over on the Prince's sea creature, no one was offering their blood. 

A frustrating and impatient feeling possessed my body. My hands were clenched as I looked at the growing pale man covered in a blanket. I couldn't believe it. 

I was angry.

 I was angry at the people who bit their tongue, who clenched their fists instead of doing what they wanted to do. 

I was angry at Sanji. Risking his life because he was being smothered by a woman he didn't know a lick about. He was going to die before me all because of a fucking mermaid. 

I was angry at those humans who dared to treat such a considerate, strong man in such a disturbing way all because he wasn't human. The assholes who added to the fuel of hatred between these people and our people despite Fisher Tiger rescuing our people too. The people whose fault it was now that Sanji was being denied. 

My fists closed into a tight fist and I began to glare at nothing in particular. I refused to let Sanji die before me for such idiotic reasons. I could feel the same disgusting feeling that had been recurring more often than usual over the past two years as it started in my gut and crept into my chest, spreading through my arms and urging my hands. I closed my eyes and remembered that man's words. 

"Control yourself, Y/n." 

I hated to have to rely on his voice echoing in my head over and over again, but it truly did help me. He truly helped me. 

With the sound of his voice ringing in my head, my mind remembering every vibration to his words and the exact tone he spoke to me with, I could feel the feeling dissipate along with all the horrid thoughts my mind created as a way to save Sanji.

I snuck off the ship in the middle of the night wanting some fresh air. With more and more symptoms showing, the people of my kingdom have been overly protective of me, never leaving my side. It was nice to go out by myself on an island I've never been to before and feel the warm air against my skin. 

It was more of a tropical weathered kind of island than anything. The weather had been pretty hot during the day, but it cooled down to a bearable heat later in the night. We were on a mission to try and find the next person I wanted help from so we've been traveling dependent on rumors and gossip. Like with Shanks, I told Malikai and Maki that if we couldn't find him within a week or two then we'd turn back around and head for the next one.
