Ch.5


I look at you from a distance and you are always happy. Why can’t I let myself be a part of that happiness? I know you love someone, but what happens when I too love you?

I want to be a part of your happiness.

“Erik, do we have to do this again?”

“Yes, Luffy. Practice makes perfect, my little one.”

Erik smoothed a hand over his hair as he picked an eight year old Luffy into his lap.

“I know you’re down about Shanks leaving, but life goes on, my love.” He gently ran his hands through the chocolate locks of the young boy. “It’s very unlikely that you will become a pirate. Just because one is inspired to do so does not create a final result.”

Luffy sighed.

“So you’re saying, since I can’t be a pirate, I can be a great musician?”

“Yes, my love.”

He leaned over and nibbled on Luffy’s ear. He chuckled darkly as the boy squirmed in his lap.

“Erik, this is weird.”

“Don’t worry. Everyone in love does this.”

Luffy bit his lip. He let out a gasp as he was shoved off the lap onto to the floor. A maid came by a moment later to pick up the empty glasses that Erik had drained of their liquids. Dusting the young boy off, Erik positioned himself in front of the piano once again.

“Now, once more from the tope.”

Luffy straightened himself as Erik’s fingers tickled the keys.

-You’re eyes see but my shadow
My heart is overflowing

There’s so much you could come to love
You’ve got my heart glowing

Tenderly

You could see

My soul-

Luffy sighed again.

“Why can’t I hear the rest of it? Why is it always only that part?”

He looked confused when Erik patted his head.

“Dearest Luffy. So concerned. You’ll hear the rest when I write it. I haven’t finished composing my Opera. And you’re my main inspiration, my love.”

He slid his hand under the young boys shirt, rubbing at the rosy flesh he found.

“Erik, stop this…please…”

He was rewarded with a kiss on the cheek.

“Forgive me, my love. Now, let’s continue with your other pieces. Whip out Pie Jesu.”

Luffy reached up and pulled a folder off of the piano. He pulled out a crisp piece of sheet music with “Pie Jesu” entitled upon the top. The boy cleared his throat as Erik danced once more across the keys in a soft rainstorm of music.

-Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu

Qui tollis pecata mundi
Donna aes requiem

Donna aes requiem

Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei
Angus Dei

Qui tollis pecata mundi
Donna aes requiem

Donna aes requiem-

The music died away once more into the silence.

Zoro helped Chopper wrap the bandage around Luffy’s head.

“This must have meant he was awake at some time.”

“And we missed it!!”

“Zoro, calm down. We couldn’t help it. We had to see Shanks and the others off. It’s too bad they couldn’t stay longer.”

Zoro smashed his hand against a conveniently placed mirror. Chopper sighed and pulled out his medical bag once more.

“You guys will do anything to keep me busy. Sit down.”

He yanked Zoro down onto a chair, snatching a pair of tweezers from his bag. He began pulling the random pieces of glasses from Zoro’s bleeding hand.

“We really need to do something about that anger problem of yours. Also you just broke a mirror. Bad luck.”

“Come off it. Don’t tell me you’re superstitious.”

“Eh, it doesn’t hurt.”

Zoro sighed , rubbing his head with his free hand.

“I swear, sometimes I don’t know why I put up with you guys.”

“It’s because you love Luffy. Love can make people do crazy things, ya know,” Chopper adjusted his hat as he grinned at the pirate samurai.

“Don’t remind me.”

Zoro adverted his gaze to the bed. He did have to admit that he did do a lot for his captain. He wasn’t sure if it was love or if it was obsession. He really hoped it wasn’t obsession. He did lust after the boy every now and then. He was quite lucky that he slept most of the day, giving him the chance to do a lot of “things” while everyone else was asleep.

A lot of tension built up just being close to his young friend. It wasn’t easy being near him all the time. His thoughts were interrupted when Chopper tightened the bandage on his hand.

“There ya go. By the way, Sanji said lunch would be ready in a little bit. I’m going to go freshen up.”

Chopper made his leave as Zoro watched him go. He stood up and made his way to the bed, sitting down upon the mattress. He stroked the sleeping boy’s cheek, savoring the silky touch of his flawless skin. He let his hand rest there a few moments before making his way down to join the others for lunch.

Sanji watched Zoro leave Luffy’s room and head down to the dining area. Looking around, Sanji made sure no one was around before he snuck into the comatose boy’s room. He closed the door quietly behind.

The room was dark and quiet. Noticing how stuffy it was in there he made his way to the window, cracking the window open a bit. Not enough to send a chill into the room. He didn’t want the boy to catch a cold as well.

Sitting down on the spot where the first-mate had recently been, he took Luffy’s hand in his own.

“I remember when I was young, Zeff told me something that I never really understood until now. You never know what you got until you almost lose it…..how ironic that I now know what he was talking about.”

He readjusted himself so that he was laying next to Luffy on the bed, curled up next to him.

“I never realized how foolish I was.”

In one swift movement he was on top of Luffy. He moved down and nibbled the flesh of his neck. He rubbed his crotch against the comatose captains. Sanji knew how perverted he was being. He knew it wasn’t right, but he couldn’t help himself when the object of his lust was below him.

Sanji nibbled on Luffy’s ear when he froze.

“Erik….stop..please…”

Sanji pushed himself up and looked down on Luffy.

“Erik?”

“Please…..ge…get off me….stop….please…”

Sanji shoved himself off onto the floor. He raised a hand up and whacked himself in the face.

{How could I do that?!! I could have-}

“Oh God! Stop it, Cabaji!!”

“Cabaji?”

“Please don’t do this!”

Reality hit Sanji as he fell onto an empty. What happened…Luffy had…..oh God..


Luffy was raped.


Sanji suddenly found the bile rising in his throat and gagged. Stumbling into the adjoining bathroom he emptied the remnants of his breakfast into the toilet bowl. He sobbed from the acid burning the back of his throat.

“Oh, sweet Jesus….”

Zoro looked up as Sanji descended the stairs. Raising an eyebrow at the blonde’s rumpled state of being, he raised his other eyebrow when the blonde came up to him. He followed when the chef motioned for him to follow him.

Sanji stepped into an empty bedroom and closed the door when the other followed him in. He lit up a new cigarette after snuffing an old one out and cancerous smoke filled the room.

“I’m not sure if this was before we met, but who’s Cabaji?”

Zoro was quite taken aback.

“Cabaji?! He’s Buggy’s second-mate. When we first met Nami we encountered Buggy. While Luffy dealt with Mohji, the first-mate, I went up against Cabaji, the second-mate…..let’s just say our encounter wasn’t the best…”

“Ah….then it all makes sense..”

“Come again?”

Sanji looked Zoro square in the eye.

“It was Buggy that did this to Luffy.”
“What?! What makes you think that?!”

“Luffy was talking in his sleep.”

Zoro raised his eyebrow once again.

“When were you in his room?”

“I went into his room a couple minutes ago. The room was too stuffy. Anyway, he was talking in his sleep. He seemed to be having a flashback…..also….I think there is something you should know.”

Zoro looked confused.

“I think…..well..from the way it sounded-” Sanji took a long drag from his cigarette. Zoro was concerned about the way he was so shaken up. “I…think….”

“Spit it out!”

“…….I think he was raped.”

Zoro stared at Sanji for a long time.

“You bastard. How can you say something like that, you asshole.”

“If you heard what I did then you would think the same thing.”

The two stared at one another for a few moments until Sanji spoke up.

“Let’s talk to Chopper.”

Zoro nodded. After a few minutes Sanji had dragged Chopper in by his antlers.

“Hey!! Knock it off, Sanji! That hurts!”

Sanji plopped the small elk down on the bed. He kneeled down to his eye level and stared at him. His gaze was strong and unnerving.

“Tell us the truth, Chopper. Please.”

“What are you talking about? Tell the truth about what, Sanji?” he asked. He readjusted his hat as it fell over his eyes. Scratching his head, he looked up at both the chef and swordsman.

“Was Luffy raped?”

Chopper’s face fell when the question hit his ears.

“I can’t answer that you guys. It’s doctor / patient confidentiality. I wouldn’t be a very good doctor if I went telling about everyone’s health like the daily weather.”

Zoro bent down next to Sanji.

“Unfortunately, Luffy talks in his sleep. Now, please, tell us the truth.”

Chopper stared at the two and after a moment he hung his head, not looking the other’s in the eye.

“Yes.”

Chopper’s answer left the two in silence. Luffy had been raped; defiled. Not only that, but by Cabaji. Zoro wasn’t sure how Luffy was going to take this when he woke up. He fisted his hands together and grit his teeth.

It wasn’t fair. He was pure, kind, and beautiful. He didn’t deserve this. Luffy didn’t do anything to anyone and just because of a grudge he was defiled and left for dead.

The only thing Zoro knew at the moment, was that there was going to be hell to pay.
