I never had a name...my parents were killed a few days after I was born in a horrible place...all I can remember is my mother feeding me some strange fruit. After that. I was locked away in a cell where I watched people freeze to death while I staye...
'Another one.' I thought as I watched the guards throw in another prisoner. I sat on the ground leaned up against the wall as I watched them bang on the cell bars. "It's no use my friend." Someone spoke causing the man to look back at him. "Oh yeah?! And whys that?!?!" He yelled angry.
"Can't you see? There's no escaping from here. All you can really do is sit around and wait till you freeze to death." The man said. "Unlike her." He said glancing over at me. I sat there staring at the frozen floor expressionless. "What the hell? She doesn't even look affected."
"That's cause she can't be." Another said. "She's a devil fruit user I've heard." Came another voice. I just sat there ignoring all of them. 'Why is it always me?' I thought. 'Why do they always talk about me?' As I'm thinking this someone steps in front of me.
I slowly look up only to see the new prisoner. He glares down at me. "What the hell? You think just cause you ate some devil fruit you are better then us?!" He yelled kicking me in the gut. I fell on the ground holding my gut in pain. 'Again...another one who hates me.'
The man continued to kick me as I just laid there after a while he was stopped by another prisoner. "That's enough. Don't think you're the only one who has done that to her. Cut the kid some slack will ya." They said. "Huh?! And why should I do that?!" The man yelled.
"Just wait till you hear her story. She ends up telling it to everyone here." Someone said. I slowly sat myself back up and stared at the floor. The man growled as he stormed off to another part of the cell. I just sat there not moving. "Hey kid." A voice called.
I slowly looked up and saw two guards outside. "Time to get up." They said. I didn't say anything as I slowly got up and made my way over to the cell door. "What's going on?" The new guy asked. "They do this everyday...it's painful to watch." Someone whispered.
I stood in front of the guards as they unlocked the cell. "Let's go." One of them said grabbing me by the arm and yanking me out. I stood there silently as they went behind me and pulled out that same burning whip. I stood there looking at everyone in my cell.
Right when the guard was going to whip me they all nod their heads giving me the signal. I take a deep breath and bite my lip.

After the eighteenth one my lip was bleeding along with my back. The guards grabbed me and threw me in my cell. I stood there and waited for them to leave. Once they did I started to get asked questions. "Are you alright? They didn't over do it did they? Was it the usual 18?"
All the same questions were asked. I looked at them all and nod. They sigh as they watch me sit down. I sat down quietly pressing my now open wounds to the cold frozen wall. The new guy just stood there. "What the hell just happened?" He asked. I looked at him and sighed.
"Hello." I spoke causing everyone to look at me. "My name is Yu. I was given that name by one of the prisoners here who had mysteriously disappeared. I'm 18 years old now. I've been Locked up here ever since I was born. My parents were killed here a few days after. My mother had given me a devil fruit before she was taken to die." I said.
The man looked at me shocked. "Wait you've been here for 18 years?!" He yelled in shock. I nod. "That's right." I said. He stood there in shock before scowling at that. I watched as he stormed over to me. I got ready to be hit. I closed my eyes waiting for the pain. Only...this time it didn't happen.
I slowly opened my Eyes only to see the guy sitting next to me a small blush on his cheeks. "I'm sorry..." He whispered quietly. "Huh?" I asked confused. He looked at me and scowled pinching my cheeks. "Tch! I said sorry idiot!" He yelled flicking my head.
I looked at him shocked as I bled my forehead. "....Rin." He said. I looked at him confused. "My name. It's Rin." He mumbled. I looked at him for a moment and smiled a small smile. "It's nice too meet you Rin." I said softly. He blushed and looked away.
"Yeah. Whatever." He muttered.
