My saviour

It has been 31 days since me and the others has been stuck in this filthy room. Now sadly I am all alone, the only one that remains.

It has been 7 days since cassy was choked to death, his only excuse was that he was too into it and could not stop in time or he did not notice.

Sarah died first and just like cassy's death it happened while I was unable to do anything. I could only stare in horror and despair. Sarah was treated roughly by him, always, in a fit of drunkenness one night he came and started beating her to death then he fell asleep. Her corpse stayed with us throughout the night, it was horrifying and disgusting.

In hindsight I understood why he took us, he most likely had killed his last batch of women and decided to get himself some new ones. I don't know when my time to die will come and honestly at this point I welcome it.

I keep waking up in the middle of the night having nightmares or sometimes I would wake up because he would be raping me while I slept. Again it was not the first time I felt like filth, I felt dirty. He has made me do things, things that I still feel disgusted that I did. Everyday my hatred for him keep increasing but so does my self loathing.

Everyday a piece of me kept getting destroyed piece by piece. I have forgotten what freedom is like and sometimes I nearly forget my own name. I have to keep repeating it in my head. For I am not allowed to refer to myself as Carla, he says my name is "bitch" now. He called me that everytime. I can see it in his eyes lately, the manic glee or should I say murderous no he is even bored now. He has had enough of me, he will kill me soon, he needs a new toy and he will get rid of the old. Kill me already you pig just kill me for I am tired of talking to myself…..

My wrist hurt, I have been chained to his bedside for weeks now. I have to even pee in a pod and I am still without clothes on. I am not allowed to do anything for everyday I just sit on the bed while staring at the door. It was while I was getting bored to death that it happened, I heard a commotion. Cannon shots? Screams! Fighting? Then it stopped!

I held my breath, What was happening? Was there another pirate crew attacking? Am I going to be taken again? Am I going to die?...finally?

Then the door was opened and I squinted from the light. And stared wide eyed at the new entry.

It was a slender woman with red lipstick,long curly black hair that is tied back and a mole on the right side of her face below her mouth. She wears a marine coat on her shoulders like a cape and her sleeves have pinks cuffs and the epaulettes are pink. Her marine coat has a hood bt she kept it down. Underneath she wore a short sleeved pink shirt, with a frilled collar and an open neckline that exposed her cleavage. She wears dark brown shorts and black heels. She also possess a black spider tattoo on her left thigh.

Seeing the marine woman,Carla could not help but sob. Help had finally come.

"Help…me" she said in a dry broken voice while sobbing.

GION(MOMOUSAGI) POV

I had finally captured the pirate known as Red the Lecher. A known rapist and slaver! I have been trying to get a lead on him for a few months now. Ever since I have heard about the horrible thing he was doing in West blue, I had to leave my post at marineford to come here, I could not allow anymore innocent women to fall under his hands. Usually we vice admirals do not deal with such small fry but I could not let this filth run free anymore. I just hope that I arrive in time to save at least one woman.

Questioning some of the pirates they told me there is only one woman left on the ship. She has been in the pig's room for month never going out. Poor girl I dread to think in what condition she must be in.

Opening the door I finally found her, she was chained to the bed. Naked and full of bruises all over her body. Some of her blue hair dye was going out and her blond locks were showing. Her eyes were empty when she first looked up then she studied my appearance and relief and hope flooded over her as she started sobbing. She begged me for help as I started towards her. I cut off her chain and put my coat over her. I decided to comfort her and hug her.

"Thank you" she said.

Then she looked at me, eyes full of determination. "You have a sword, Please teach me how to use one, please teach me how to fight! I never want to be weak again, I never want to be helpless again! Please let me be your disciple! I want to have the power to help others! I don't want other women to go through what I went through. So please I beg you, whoever you are. Help me become strong, please."

I was little surprised at her outburst, but I did not have it in my heart to refuse her. This is probably her way to cope with what happened to her, she needs a new focus, she needs something to do. So I will help her. I will teach her, I guess I have my first disciple. "ok" I said.

"My name is Gion but they mostly call me Momousagi and I am a vice admiral"

She seemed shocked "VICE ADMIRAL??????" she cried out.

Chuckle " yes yes I am a vice admiral and from now on I will teach you everything I know!" What is your name child?

" My name is Carla, Bennett Carla…..sensei" she said while giving me a shy smile.

I ruffle her hair "my training is going to be hard you know? And from now on you will be living with me at marineford. Is that ok with you?"

"yes it is, I don't have anywhere to go anyway"

" Then let us go to my ship" I stood up and was moving away when I noticed she was not following. "Carla?"

" It has been weeks since I last saw the sun or got out of this room…"

I looked at her sadly, "I know.."

" I am afraid Gion, I don't know if I will be able to function properly. I fear that If I see a man I might begin to tremble in fear or stab said man to death….can I hold your arm while walking? Please?"

" Of course you can and you do not have to be afraid of any men while I am with you. And after I am finished training you, you won't have any reason to tremble because of them for you will be stronger that most of them!"

She gave me a genuine smile at my statement and she looked at me with pure adoration like a small child looking at their mother. I did not know what to feel about that, she looked and feels so fragile that I can't help but feel protective of her. For all the things that happened to her at least she is willing to make an effort to continue on. No matter what she is in my care now, a disciple hah I wonder what old Tsuru will think of that.

Getting on my ship I could feel Carla's surprise at what she was seeing. Yes all my crew members were women, this was an idea I took from the kuja pirates. Carla won't have any need to be afraid here but its once we get to marineford that I am worried about. How will she react to the sight of men?

Approaching one of my officers I told her to guide Carla to a new room and give her some clothes and draw a bath for her.

I could see the looks of the girls around me and I sigh.

" Her name is Carla and I have decided to adopt her. From now own she is my daughter and disciple. I don't need to explain what happened to her to any of you! I will teach her to use a sword and I want all of you to be kind and treat her well. She hates men from what I can guess and is still afraid most likely. If you see any men bothering her on base make sure to teach them a lesson and I want you all to keep an eye on her. It will take a long time for her to heal mentally and emotionally but we will be with her every step of the way! Do you hear me? And god save any fool foolish enough to hurt or try to touch her from now on!

CARLA POV

I don't know what took over me what I gave Gion that speech back then. But now it is too late to step back, I am her disciple now and I won't go back on my word. I am laying on my new bed in my new room. I took one hour to clean myself in the bath, I kept scratching and scratching until I bled.

It was only when a hand touch me that I stopped, Gion was in the shower with me looking at me gently. She cleaned me up herself and wash my hair. Then help me put my new clothes on. I had the typical white sailor marine uniform on. She walked me to the bed and kept holding my hand. Finally she began to speak, "It will take time, it will be hard, many times you will have nightmare and cry yourself to sleep. But eventually it will stops, trusts me."

I looked at her, " how would you know?"

Then she looked at me sadly " When I was young my father he...." She looked away.

I looked at her and squeeze her hand without saying anything else.

After a few minutes she said, " oh I should tell you, not only are you my disciple from now on but also my daughter so get used to it hehe"

I looked at her incredulously, "daughter? I mean are not I too old to be adopted?"

" I don't care you are an orphan thus I am taking you in and you are cute anyway" she chuckled.

I did not know what to say to her, I lost my family from my world when coming in this world. Then I met grandma Tutu and I was no longer alone. Then the "nightmare" happened but now I am no longer alone again, I have a family again?

" Thank you" I told her while I started tearing up again….

After a few seconds of me starting to cry she stopped me by saying " ok ok no cries of joys now girl hahah"

I stopped and decided to act like a cute spoil kid , " mommy can you hug me to sleep?" I told her with my most cutesy voice.

She looked at me for a minute then cracked a smile, she layed neared me and I hugged her waist while laying my head on her chest. Then I drifted to the sweetest sleep I have had since weeks. I did not have any nightmares nor did I wake up in the middle… I was safe and this time no pirates is going to break that safety. For my new mother is a vice admiral and I am sure she is strong, very strong!
