Chapter I: The Slave

Donquioxte, captain of the Donquioxte Pirates and King of Dressrosa decided to pay his Slave Trade Shop in Saboady a visit today. It feels like a nice day to inspect his shop since he got nothing better to do today anyway. Thinking about it, maybe it's a nice day to get a new slave.

"It's nice to see you again, Sir" Disco chatted as they entered the room where the slaves are held, prepared for the upcoming auction later this eve.

"Ffu~ffu~ How are the slaves?" Doflamingo can hear the whimpers of the hopeless slaves already that he can't help but chuckle. The manager shivered at the warlord's cruel laugh. He is sweating and fearing for his life. Even with the slightest thing that goes wrong, who knows what the warlord will do.

"We have new ones just a few hours ago. We got 4 more Fishman, some pretty girls, and young kids. The shop is going to be loaded in no time." Discord follow Doflamingo like a tail, not knowing what else to say, he is running out of things to talk. If you talk too much you might get killed if you don't talk at all he will be piss. So it better off if Disco has the convocation in minimum.

"Hmm, Which one should I choose?' He roams around in the room for some time. He stopped and retrace his step when he finds something or someone quite interesting. A familiar face. It was a beautiful fair young girl with long white hair wearing white summer dresses, sitting in the corner of her cage, with her knees was up to her chest.

"Who is that girl?" Making sure he isn't mistaking and his eyes are not fooling him. The man point to the girl and without having her eyes off her. It truly caught Disco by surprise, it causes the man to jump and nearly drop his clips chard. As quickly as he can while trying not to make a fool out of himself before the Warlord, he glanced at her and start flipping pages on his chard.

"That is Selena Grace, She was brought here by some sailer a few days ago, sir."

"I'll take her." Without any second thought, Doflamingo immediately purchases the girl right on the spot. This brings a great big smile on Disco greedy face. He nodded and snap his finger, telling the two workers to fetch the girl, while he went handed Doflamingo the papers to sign and count the money. Selena heard the door to the cage open. She looks up to find two uniformed men stood before her. They went inside to get her, this notifies her that something is going to happen. Cause they usually just left her food and drink close to the cage door, never really walk in here before. They then started yanked her chains, pulling her to up on her feet. At first, it was difficult, it been quite a while since the last time she stood and walk. Every couple of step she would trip over on her own feet, and the men didn't bother to help her up. They just continue walking and start dragging the girl instead.

"No! Don't, I won't let you have her!" One of the man who was chain quite close to her manage to grab a hold of her with a little strength he has left. He would talk to Selena when Discord and his men weren't around. He would tell her story about the time he was still young bold and brave. He uses to be a pirate but when he had injured his leg so badly, he wasn't able to run again, so they abandon him on an island on his own no money no friend no nothing. He manages to get a job but it wasn't to pay his rent and feed him at the same time. So he started to steal from the local just to survive another day. Sometimes it was an apple, sometimes a wallet, there even time he went to someone home. He then went into a hotel room and still a man suitcase when he was out in town, the suitcase seems very variable even though he didn't know what inside. Unfortunate for him he stole from the wrong guy, and that how he ended up here. The Fishman joined the fray. "He's right! She's still too young!"

More and more started to join in as well. Some was standing and the other was sitting close to her. Having Her behind them creating a wall of people to protect one girl. The men called for help from the staff and pried the Fishman and the other men away from her. Kicking them and Beating them with anything they could catch there hand onto.

"Stupid Fishman!" Say one of them kicked the Fishman at the stomach. Even though the number of slaves who stood up was overpowering the number of staff, they were still no match for these well-trained men with no chains. "Know your place!"

With another jerk at her chains, she started to stand up and follow them once more. Looking back at the crowd. The man who started it look at you with sadness in his eyes, he was the one who got it worst, he is now covered in his own blood, helplessly watching the girl being taken away. It was quite dark but she could see the men mouthing 'I'm sorry'.

"Here she is, Mr. Donquioxte."

Selena was pushed down to her knees, she only looks up slightly and saw a blonde haired man with a towering height wearing a summer blouse, pink pants, and a pink feathered coat. Whoever this man is, she doesn't like his smile. Something about his smile screams 'DANGER!'. The man chuckled and kneeled down to her height. Lifting her chin up with one of his slender fingers to have a better look at her.

"Fu~fu~fu~ I'm Donquioxte Doflamingo, but you can address me as Young Master. You will be loyal and obedient only to me. Is that clear~?"

She just kneeled there, speechless as she surveyed the man's looks. So, his name is Mr.Donquioxte. His smile looks sinister but his looks quite eye-catching. She stood up, rush her dress and bowed to him.

"Fu~fu~fu~ Good girl." Doflamingo then took hold of her's chains and guided her out of the shop, happy of the slave he bought.

'This is a great day to buy a slave.' Moments after purchased her from the shop he removed her collar and chains. Then he lives her up bridal style and started to skywalk. She doesn't scared. After a while, the girl seems quite. Too quiet. He looks down upon her small figure, only to realize she has fastly fallen asleep. He had to admit that she looks cute when she sleeps.

"Welcome to Dressrosa!" Selena blinked and rubbed her eyes. It is real! Toys walked and talked along with the citizens, bonding with them. She sniffed the air and almost sighed at the exquisite aroma of different foods. This place isn't like the ones she had been to. Everyone bore smiles on their faces. Children laughed and played along the streets, toys living with the people, entertainers boomed with life. It's like heaven! Doflamingo started to walk and she follows him from behind. He never looks back to check on her not even once, he seems confident and worries about the girl would run away.
