It was the assembly day.  I teared up. Only Hancock sat near me. I saw Fred. His friends were hiding. I wonder from what. "Welcome guys. Please be respectful. We have a guest speaker speaking on abuse and how to spot it"."Hello everyone, I'm Fred". He talks about the signs. I running since he's the one who abused me and Austin for years. Hancock Grabs my hand. I clinch it tight. He called me to speak. I heard boos, saw glares. I teared up. I couldn't take it. We were going to sing a song. As I was singing Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez,I could think of how Fred treated me. Tears freely flowed. I chicken on some words. Fred glared and dragged me to the guys locker room. He locked the door.

"Why'd you stop mommy"? I choked at the memories. I scooted away from kid. "C'mon, this was long ago". "It still hurts Kid. Even though it was long, I still see it sometimes. It won't go away". I cry. Heat and Sanji manage to comfort me. "Why won't it go away"? "Trauma doesn't fully go away" added Law. Kid glared at him.

I felt a slap. I fell. I felt kicks. "You need to act right, or they'll suspect I'm abusive". I spit blood. "That's cause you are. You made me lose everything. Everyone I care about has left". "You need to get back out there and act like nothing happened. You don't, I hurt your friends"."What friends? They don't believe me". "I know. Your redhead you hold so dear, he'll never love you. He loves a slut instead". "DONT TALK THAT WAY"!!!! I feel a shove. "You mess this up, I'll start off with your sorry friend Nami". Arlong laughs. "I should've killed her when I had the chance ". I felt anger rising. "You can insult me, beat me, but don't call Nami that"!!! I felt a punch and a stab.  I look and see my leg has a knife in it. They told me they plan on not only selling me, but that Ace, Hatchan and camie are getting sold for a high bounty. We're going to be killed for parts. I have to warm people that they are dangerous, even if it kills me.

Meanwhile, Hancock was pissed. She went to the microphone. "That's it!!!! She never lied guys"!!! Evelyn laughed. "Than what about those videos"? "They were a fake". Hancock sighs. She puts on a real video. She set up cameras in the house that you didn't even know about. It caught everything. It played scenes of me screaming for help, getting drugs forcefully put in me. It caught, Fred tying me down and forcing himself on me. It even caught kid kissing me, then telling me it was a mistake. Everyone gasped. Kids growled, feeling like a jerk. Everyone saw what I went through. The video went straight to live video from inside the locker room.

Inside the locker room, I fought to get out. They were stronger. I felt my vision get blurry. I knew I had to tell people to leave, even if they didn't believe me. I grabbed the chair that was the door and knocked arlong and Fred out with it. I know they will only be out for a few minutes. I grabbed zoros and Killers swords and stabbed their knees as best as I could. Anything to buy me some time. I took the swords and limped out of the locker room. Hancock rushed to me. I could barely walk, see. I told her about the plans while tearing up. "I have to give Zorro and killer their swords. Look me and ace, going to get sold to Blackbeard, the dark pirate". She gasped. "You need to get patched up ebony. You're bleeding out. You're gonna die if you don't". I smiled and teared up more."I'm gonna die anyway. Mine as will make the most of it". I stumble to Zoro and hand him his swords. I apologize for the blood on them and told him I'd fix them as soon as I could.
After I have Zoro his, I stumbled to Killer. I kept falling. I always got up again. Him and the others were on the back row. I handed killer his and looked in kids eyes. I look away. I feel tears run down my face. I stumble to Hancock. "Is it true"? "What"? Luffys hat blocks his eyes. "Everything I'm the video, is it true"? I look anywhere but him. "Answer me, dammit"! I nod. I stumble to Hancock. I hug her and cry. "I've got to go before someone else gets hurt. Take care of Austin for me, please". I feel her hug me. I head to the door, and am stopped by a gun pointed right at me. "Going anywhere, you minx"? Blackbeard found me. I raise my hands up behind my head. He cuffs me to the floor. "And we have a surprise for you too". They bring in a beat up Ace. He smiles meekly at me."Ace? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM"? Blackbeard laughs. "He's a traitor. An agent. I showed him what happens when you trick me". I gasp. He will bleed out if i don't help him. "Do you know why I am interested in you, Nerd"? I shake my head. "You are a high value person on the black market.You ever heard of the angelic fighters"? "You mean the old races of fighters who were the toughest around? The ones who said their strength came from the gods"? "Precisely". "Yeah, but what does that have to do with me"? He gets in my face. "Because, Furroh Ebony. You are from that lineage. You are a living legend". I gasp and grit my teeth. "Your blood is worth a whole lot on the market". I tear up more.
"I guess making it out alive is out of the question , huh Ace "? "We can't give up or give into him. Not without a fight". "Ace he's stronger than us. I'm so bloodied up. You're bruised. It's a death wish". "Do you have another plan". I think. "I have one. But we need Hancock to help".

"What was your plan mommy "? I rubbed her hair and smiled. "Well, it was simple. Since more than one 'warlord' would be there,We decided to distract and separate them. Then we fight". "As if you were in a condition to fight back. We could have helped ". "But you didn't, Kid". He hissed.
