Luffy thought he was better. He was on the path to healing completely, until it stopped when his torturers were let out of prison. Now Luffy has to deal with the crushing fear he feels all the time, and what happens after that fear becomes a reality. He's breaking again, but he's still loved. Zolu Rated M for mentions...
Luffy is a scared and damaged teenager. After years of abuse and neglect, he moves to a new foster home, hopefully one he can stay at. Though he's hurt and somewhat broken, he can still be loved by his new family, who will do anything to help him heal. Zolu. Complete.
About Luffy's days in the basement. Won't make sense unless you've read both previous installments of the Broken But Loved series. Major angst.
