Third Person POV

Leo gasped as he dropped a tray of, whatever was on it, & grasped his right arm. Its been at least month since that whole hurrah & his arm hasn't healed at all, all that's been happening for that arm is that it gets weaker & weaker by the second. The nurses & doctors did every single thing to heal his arm, but the only solution was... to saw it off

"We are not sawing his arm off!" Curiel yelled "How else is he going to protect himself when he's in battle?!"

"He can't fight with that arm either!"

"So what?! It'll heal!" Izo added

"No it won't! It'll just get worse! The only solution, like I said before, is cutting it off!" the doctor concluded, again

"Hell no-yoi!"

"Even so, its not your choice! Its the boy's, we'll ask him again & see if he's ready!" yeah, it wasn't the first time they asked. The first time Leo asked for at least a while to choose, the doctors were completely okay with that... until everyone was making Leo avoid them

"*sighs deeply* okay, fine..." they all murmur

"Thank you." & with that, they left

"What do you think pops?"

"Should they chop his arm off?" Haruta asked, everyone smacked the back of his head "Hey!"

"Don't say it like that!"

"Well, like the doctors said, its his choice. & remember what Chief said, even though he was mostly talking to Marco about this the most, we shouldn't worry for him like he's a child." they all look away

"Your right..."

"Your always right, pops."

"I know. That's why he tells me everything."

"The hell!!" back to Leo, he readjusted the eye patch he was wearing (it was a black leather one) before sighing & slumping down onto his chair. He had looked up at the ceiling, his left hand covering a bit of his face, as something trigger a flashback

Flashback

Leo was punched to the ground by his known bully, Toby -motherfucking- Brian, & was beaten physically (no duh) & emotionally. Threats & name calling, being called a freak, a fucking mistake--

"Hey! Say something Stoneheart! I want to hear you beg!" but Leo didn't say anything, that got them going

"Toby! I got an idea!"

"What?"

"This." he suddenly lifted his leg up & slammed it onto Leo's right arm, he let out a blood curdling scream

"Ahhh!!" Toby suddenly smirked & started doing the same thing, each time getting harder & harder, you could even hear his bones being crushed "STOP!! PLEASE STOP!! Your breaking my arm!!"

"That's the whole point!" what seemed like forever, they finally had enough & left Leo alone. He curled up in a ball & to his, , it started raining, he sniffed before he started bawl out crying

"Why does everyone hate me...?"

End Flashback

Leo sighed again & kicked over a cabinet, if only he could see Toby's face before wiping that smirk off his face & fucking destroying him. Leo could not demolish him but he had no idea how to get home, not like cared actually. The only thing he wants to go home & do, is beat the shit out of his mother, his brother & all the people who bullied him

"If only..." he gripped his hand "If fucking only...!"

"Mr Stoneheart?" he gasped & looked up towards the door, he wiped away the tears that started appearing before saying

"Come in." in came the doctors

"You know why we're here, Mr Stoneheart." he clutched onto his right arm & nodded "We're here for your final decision, so what will it be? Keep the arm, or saw it off?" he actually started sweating, he closed his eyes before sighing & standing up

"Its now or never, neh?" they gave him somewhat of a supportive smile as they helped him up & to the infirmary "This is gonna be fucking painful..."

"Hopefully we still have some anaesthetic's left to numb out the pain, other then that..." the doctor went silent after that, they laid him down of the bed & he took deep breaths when he saw the needle & the... saw

"Take in a few more deep breaths Mr Stoneheart." he did so as his heart was pounding so hard in his chest, they injected the type of anaesthetic into his arm so his arm went numb, but other then that... it was gonna be hella painful (did I already say that somewhere?)

"Are you ready...?" he asked as he put a belt in his mouth so he could bite it, Leo reluctantly nodded his head & that was it. He bit deeply into the belt as sweat dripped down his forehead as he felt the blade cut through his skin, he was going to get up but they pushed him down & was now holding him down

The doctor had completely sawed through his skin & was now at his bone where it was going to hurt the most, Leo was trying his hardest not to cry but that was very impossible but was able to pull through. A nurse was holding his hand to try & sooth him but that was a wrong move, I think he accidentally broke her hand

The doctor was successful as he sawed Leo's arm completely off, he spat the belt & slowly looked over to his right & saw that his arm was gone & lying on a table. His breathing become uneven before he went out like a light

"He's out cold." the doctors murmured, they wrapped the stump on his arm with bandages & pumped blood into his system since he lost quite a lot

"His blood type is quite rare, ain't it?" they nodded

"AB Negative." with that they nodded & walked out of the room with his amputated arm "What are we going to do with his arm? Its not like its any use for us or him anymore."

"Feed it to the sea kings?"

Time Skip

Everyone who visited Leo in the infirmary thought he looked rather peaceful & cute when he was asleep, he looked… calm. Each day that passed someone would watch over him until he woke up, they even told him stories on what happened when he wasn't on the ship, quite eventful things

Death asked

"Quite indeed." Life replied

"I know I would've…"

she started laughing her ass off while he rolled his eyes

"Hey hey, look! He's awake!" it was true, he was up but he wasn't about. He just sat up, motionless. His eyes moved to his right arm, or, where his right arm was, & slid his hand over it

"… its really gone, huh…?" his arm then dropped

"Oh Chief~ I hope your awake, cause I'm getting quite impatient with you being in somewhat of a comma so I'm hoping!" in came Thatch, once he saw Leo was sitting up he started smiling "Omigod, your up! Oh man, I gotta tell the others!"

Before he sprinted off he took once last glance at Leo, but stopped in his tracks on what he was seeing. Leo's head was hung low & tears slowly fell from his eyes & onto his lap

"… I feel so weak…" he murmured, Thatch closed the door & slowly approached him "I'm so damn weak…! I've never been able to do anything right!"

"What are you talking about…?" Leo's head just shot up & grabbed Thatch's collar with his left arm

"Don't you see?! I'm a one armed, one eyed useless freak! That's what I used to be called when I was growing up! A fucking freak! I was bullied! I was abused! I was unloved & treated like I was the disease that killed the population one by one! No one even showed me the slightest of sympathy, nor did they even try to help me!" Thatch just stared down at him with widened eyes as Leo loosened his grip & started sobbing into his hand "… no one was ever on my side, I was always blamed for everything & I was always the last one picked for anything. I was the freak, the shadow, the person no one wanted around…"

Leo continued to sob in his hand until he felt Thatch pull him into a hug, he grits his teeth & pulled Thatch closer to him with his left hand while crying into his chest

"Its okay Lyon, it might be true that all that stuff happened to you, but I wish it didn't, but like you said, you called all those things. You treated like that, but right now, you are treated like you are one of the most valuable thing in the world, even more priceless then the One Piece. We love you & will keep on loving & caring for you until we finally give in & death takes our lives, okay…?" Leo slowly nodded his head

"… o-okay…"
