Destructive Minds [ODA Part 2 || HXH Fanfiction]

Part 1: Starting X New X Life

     No man can be a sailor if his ship can't fight the storm and no man can be strong if he, himself, can't stop his mind. No matter how much lightning tried to reach the very deck of their ship, how many waves tried to stumble them down, how many winds kept toppling them, they kept sailing.

  There should be shouts and screams covering the whole ship, but it was enveloped by the thunders' cries like it never existed in the first place. The dark waters below rose, even more, pushing the ship to their undesired direction. The stormy night refused them to leave in the sea alive, as it kept them giving rain and thunder.

"C-Captain!!"

  At last, the shout can be heard from afar, then a weak middle-aged man went out of his room, trying to fight the motion of the ship from wobbling in the waves. He ran as fast as he can towards his destination until he finally made it.

 "What's the matter?" A man turned his head around to see who's approaching him. His sailor hat stayed intact, no matter how strong the cold wind is to fly it away. His beard grow longer and became white, the same as his hair.

  "S-Secco is..." The man stuttered, unsure if it is right to say it. "Secco is..."

The captain widened his eyes, even though he didn't even say anything, he understood what he meant through her cracked words and scared face. She had never done it for a very long time, and yet, now she did it again. They were sure no one can stop her from doing it, unless by force.

"AHHHH!!"

   The thunderstorm was followed by a scream, a scream of pain, fear, and hatred. The voice of a young girl echoed in the storm, desperate to do something that she is always doing before.

 Holding a knife with its sharpest blade, she raised her hand. Her wet blue eyes filled with water flowing down on her cheeks stared at the wrinkled purple arm with despise and anger. She had never wished to have this monstrous arm in her life, and yet, she had been given to her, causing her life to be miserable. She wanted to remove it, even that takes to kill herself.

Her blonde hair became a mess, everything about her became a mess. Her identity and pride were taken from her, and now she's hopeless.

  "AHHHH!!" She yelled as she stabbed her arm with the knife, causing her to fill the intense pain and her blood to rush out. And yet, the arm is still there, unarmed and bathing in blood. But that didn't stop her from going further. She was about to repeat it the second time.

  Before she could do it, the door beside her opened with a slam and the captain showed up in front of her, but she didn't care, she kept stabbing herself. He immediately rushed towards her side, tried to stop her along with other men. She had been with them since last year. He treated her like his daughter, and everyone treated her like their little sister, so they don't want her to suffer because of this.

"Secco! Stop it!" The captain shouted with his deep voice, signaling the others to grab her by the arms, while he tried to remove the knife from her hand. Both of her arms raised, blood dripping from one of them.

  "Ahh!!" She tried to resist, still willing to continue what she had been doing like the pain was never a big deal, but the strength of the men cannot be stopped by a weak little girl like her.

  "Please! Just stop it!" He yelled. Couldn't be able to take her actions, he raised his hand in the air and slapped her cheeks with enough force to feel the pain.

This woke her up, causing her to stay quiet and spaced out of nowhere. Her whole body was shaking. Her voice trembled and her breathing became abnormally. The tears that were once flowing earlier kept going out of her eyes.
