Chereads / OP: Injustice (Side Story) / Chapter 16 - Silence

Chapter 16 - Silence

The screen went on

Galan brought Olvia to O'Hara and they saw Saul before Galan talked to Dragon and Vegapunk, making plans Galan asked about the Fish-Men and Dragon said that he couldn't go there because of Whitebeard.

Galn knew this, he's the one who sent Whitebeard to claim Fish-Man Island as his territory!

Dragon froze outside the screen "WHAT?!"

Neptune was stunned silly, the Fish-Men were confused!

Jinbe, in prison, sighed.

The screen went on.

Galan made an order from Vegapunk before leaving Olvia with Dragon and leaving, not having any reason to stay anymore.

He returned to his ship and pulled up the anchor, but Olvia jumped on his ship telling him that she was coming with him instead. Galan frowned and pushed her into the water, sailing away, unfortunately Olvia climbed into the deck and called him an asshole.

He threw her new clothes along with a mask.

Robin and Olvia outside the screen smiled happily, thinking the mask was cute!

The screen went on

They returned to Marineford and Kong came to see him telling him a bunch of stuff before turning to Olvia and grabbing her arms and legs, saying that she'll be heard to train, her bones aren't very strong.

Olvia kicked him and called him a creep as Kong laughed in her face, pushing his aura on her, making her shiver as she grit her teeth telling him to go fuck himself. Kong laughed and gave Galan a thumbs up, approving of the woman.

Galan corrected that she wouldn't leave him alone and Kong laughed at him, not believing him at all. Kong left and Olvia questioned Galan as to why he did nothing, he simply told her that they weren't friends, he couldn't care less.

Adding after she left that he wouldn't have done anything to her…

[Tony Stark: That's it! They're hooked!]

[Starlight: I'm so happy!]

[David Lieberman: I think you guys are jumping the gun here. It's only been 3 months, plus there's that other woman who had his daughter. We don't know if they're a factor yet…]

[Erik Lensherr: No, it's perfectly normal to fall in love in 3 months. Living on the run, I've been with multiple women, unfortunately to protect them I have to run before the police finds out… Otherwise just like with Nina…]

[Jane Foster: But like, come on. This guy? I mean, he's only treated her like complete shit until now! I don't think it'll work out. Plus he has a daughter, don't forget!]

[Douglas Bullet: She has a daughter too, I don't see the issue.]

[Enel: If anything, this man can have multiple wives. I've had several.]

[Unohana Retsu: Please! A strong woman like Olvia would never tolerate another woman!]

[Dr. Kurt Connors: I'm afraid I have to agree.]

[Clark Kent: Well, personally I don't think it's right to leave your family…]

[Nico Robin: … Can we please stop talking about my mother's lovelife?]

Back to the video!

The following day

Galan started training Olvia by beating her down with a metal pipe while she was blindfolded.

He smashed her head with a metal pipe and she fell to the ground, bleeding in an instant. Galan looked down at her telling her to get up and that nobody was going to feel bad about her because she was a woman.

Goading her with dark words, telling her that Robin was on the run right now. Her life would be nothing but tragedy. Olvia retorted that it was HIS fault! Galan admitted that this was true, saying that he was very happy watching someone live a life much worse than his own!

He continued on saying that she might have to do unspeakable things to survive, no matter what, no matter how many men come find her, insinuating that she would be using her body to survive alone.

Olvia was enraged and got up only to be smacked down again as Galan continued inciting her, telling her that Robin might never make it out of the darkness, she might even start enjoying everything happening to her, she might even abandon everything and start begging for it, looking for it everywhere she went, throwing her life away for a burst of euphoria! Maybe one day someone'll take a liking to her and keep her as a pet and she'll agree!

Olvia kept getting up and Galan smashed her down with the pipe every single time. He went on regardless of Olvia's mental state, saying that she might even overcome all of this and thrive above it, fueling her life with hatred. But she would inevitably meet him again and he went into great detail about how he would mangle her body, snapping every bone painfully, making the moment last forever.

He continued as Olvia got up and punched at him, he stepped out of the way, swinging a pipe at her head, not missing a beat, saying that he would even describe this exact moment. Every detail of how he beat her mother to death in his own home.

How she cried for her daughter and begged for mercy as he continued.

Olvia cried and really did beg him, asking him to save her but all she got was a cold refusal. Galan looked at her saying that there would be no light in her life until she could see through the darkness, dropping a hint that Robin was seen on a pirate ship.

He hit her as she stood up again, saying that it was good to cry, Robin was crying too. It was only a matter of time before Robin became like him and there was nothing she could do about it, he added that he was very happy watching her suffer like this.

Olvia laid on the ground and Galan squatted next to her saying 'You feel this pain, Olvia? You'll get used to that. You'll adapt to it… As long as there's routine, right? Your mind craves routine. You can get used to just about anything as long as there's routine. But when you take that away, that's when you start breaking. Take away day and night, take away food and water, take away patterns… I'm telling you what's happening but you'll still break, even though you know what's coming… When you slowly realize your life's over, that's when you'll break, Olvia. Torture isn't pain, it's time. Robin will learn that soon enough, then all she'll have left is the nightmare.'

He lifted her head, continuing 'Every day and night will be a living nightmare. Sleep will be a struggle, the nightmares will come then too. What you're experiencing down is only a fraction of what she'll adapt to. When she comes out, she won't be human anymore. A living shell of what she once was… You can believe me or not, but that's the thing. You think you know me, but you don't know anything.'

He grabbed her hair violently, adding 'I can leave your corpse here and sleep just fine. I can feed you to dogs and watch while I eat. The things I'm capable of, you can't even begin to fathom…' Olvia headbutted him, saying 'Fuck you… asshole…' Galan dropped her head to the ground and straightened up telling her to get up. He was the one who destroyed her family, it was him who sent her daughter to the wolves, he was the one who killed her husband, and he'll kill her too. It's only a matter of time before she realized she would've been better off with Dragon.

She slowly stood up but Galan smashed her down again, saying emotionlessly 'Get up.'

Complete silence.

Even the Drama sharks were silent.

Zaraki didn't say anything this time!

Robin was horrified and pale, about to faint.

Galan looked at the screen emotionlessly as Olvia smiled fondly, "I remember that." as she rubbed her head. Galan looked at her hand and seemed to wince as he turned back to the screen as it continued.

Day after day, until half a month later

An emaciated Olvia finally dodged the pipe like a pro with the blindfold on. Galan went faster and she dodged all the swipes quickly!

He suddenly threw the pipe and she tilted her head slowly, but just fast enough that the pipe grazed the blindfold, ripping it off and stabbing into the solid steel wall behind her.

Olvia opened her eyes to see Galan walking back into the house without even looking at her. She smiled happily before falling over unconscious, however Galan caught her in an instant.

He looked at her for a moment before bringing her into the house and walking up the stairs. He brought her to the bathroom and stripped her down, cleaning her body and washing off all the blood, cutting her hair back to short as well.

He was very meticulous before putting her in some fresh clothes and laying her in the bed. He pulled up the blanket and connected her arm to an IV, after making sure everything was in order, he went back downstairs and walked outside with cleaning supplies.

He started mopping the training ground of all the blood stains before scrubbing the ground with a sponge, on his hands and knees.

When he was done, he sat on his calves looking at the chairs and table on the beach. He poured out the blood water into the garden before bringing it back inside.

He came to the steel wall and pulled out the pipe effortlessly, showing that it was more than ⅔ the way inside! He tied the blindfold to the pipe and looked at it silently before putting it aside.

A ringing came from his pocket and someone called saying that an old lady sold out the girl to the marines for her bounty, but the little girl managed to escape. Galan asked if the girl had the books to which the voice said that she reads them every night.

Galan simply ordered the old woman to be killed and hung up after getting an affirmative response.

He put the snail in the garden and looked at the steel wall, running his fingers over it before grunting as he pounded on the thick steel wall with his bare hands, unleashing everything that welled up inside of him on the wall, destroying it along with the skin on his knuckles!

Images flashed past the screen showing what he was thinking about.

The flames in O'Hara, the evacuation ship, Robin's crying face, Olvia's bleeding body on the ground…

A figure watched from the window before disappearing back into the room as the sun set and rose, showing Galan breathing heavily in front of a destroyed steel wall, chunks all over the ground as blood dripped from his hands, dripping down on the ground.

Once again, it was complete silence, but for a different reason.

Tony Stark sighed in his workshop…

Frank looked at the screen without blinking, his fists clenched tight.

Others were feeling the same feelings.

[Ichigo Kurosaki: I don't get it.]

[Monkey D. Luffy: Me neither.]

Suddenly, the screen lit up with a question!

[Why did Galan break the wall?]

[A. He hates that wall and wanted to renovate]

[B. It was blocking the view of the sea]

[C. He needed to vent his emotions]

[D. He hates himself for who he is]

[Nico Olvia is barred from answering this question.]

Olvia was stunned, pouting "That's not fair!" Galan ignored her and looked at the question with interest. Can anybody actually guess?

[Monkey D. Luffy: Ah! I see! It must be A!]

[Ichigo Kurosaki: Are you an idiot?!]

[Nami: He is.]

[Tony Stark: Jeez… Let the new ones answer it.]

[Peter Parker: If you get it wrong you might be punished! But I suggest C.]

[Monkey D. Luffy: Ah! Let me answer! Ahahah! I know the answer!]

[Nami: No! Luffy don't!]

[Monkey D. Luffy: I'm gonna say D because there's a D in my name!]

[Nami: Waaaah! You idiot! Idiot! Didn't you hear Peter say C?! Idiot!]

[Monkey D. Luffy: Huh? This is my question! I don't want to use someone else's answer! That's not fun!]

[Congratulations to Monkey D. Luffy for answering correctly!]

[Reward: Entire Crew learns the Knowledge of Two years into the future!]

All of the Straw Hats froze and their eyes brightened.

[Tony Stark: ?????]

[Peter Parker: Thank god I didn't answer…]
