One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 163 The Relief from My Younger Brother

With Yu's words, Cracker felt emboldened, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked. He was determined to settle scores and grievances, and there was a reason for him to beat him up.

"Stop him!" Saridon hurriedly ordered his men to surround him.

Yu didn't care; it was what he deserved anyway. "Little firecracker, just don't kill it," he added, then took out a Den Den Mushi to contact Bakura.

The call was quickly answered on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. "Miss Yu, what's wrong?"

"Bring people to the gaming area to take Saridon away; the missing person has been located."

Bakara was a little surprised. If it wasn't a date, how did they resolve this issue? But she didn't voice her question. "I understand. I'll be there in five minutes."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Yu glanced at Cracker's situation. "Hmm, not bad. He can take on several at once. It'll take a while, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

"As his older brother, aren't you going to help him?" You examined the pendant on his hand.

This pendant wasn't in the hotel room where Sariden stayed before, so it's probably on the pirate ship. I'll look for it again when Bakara arrives.

“He can handle it himself.” Katakuri glanced at the pendant. “Sweet has excellent tracking abilities.”

Sweet let out a howl, as if in response to Katakuri's words.

"Then I'll have to trouble you later, little one." She held the pendant to Sweet's nose so he could smell it and remember the scent of the pendant that this ability could create.

Sweet sniffed it and immediately ran towards a pile of powder. Yu followed and discovered that it was the powder from the dice.

"It seems these dice were also conjured by his abilities." No wonder he was able to keep winning. "Little Firecracker was just unlucky; he just happened to run into him."

If it were just one person, they probably wouldn't have lost this much.

By the time Bakala arrived with her people, Cracker had just been dealt with.

Saridon was pinned to the ground. "Grantesoro will make you pay back the G-coins you lost!"

He's stubborn as a mule, still remembering that G-coin and trying to threaten him! Cracker kicked him directly.

Bakara arrived just then with her people. "Oh dear, Lord Cracker helped us catch you and find the whereabouts of those missing people. We will naturally repay him properly."

This was actually to cover for Yu and to prevent the rules of Grantesoro from being broken.

"Lord Katakuri, thank you so much for helping us solve a problem. I will handle the rest. To express our gratitude, we will cover all expenses in the city from now on."

Katakuri didn't really need these things, but after glancing at the look Yu gave him, he nodded and accepted them.

Cracker glanced smugly at Saridon, who had completely lost control of his expression, and felt utterly satisfied.

Hmph, his sister-in-law is something else!

Saridon and his men were quickly taken away, and the gaming area returned to normal. The onlookers had long since left.

Bakara hasn't left yet; she's waiting for Yu.

Yu beckoned Sweet over, "Little one, take this older sister to find them." Yu pointed to the pendant handed to Bakara.

"Aww!" Sweet nodded readily.

"Bring him to me once you find him." Sariden is unlikely to voluntarily relinquish his abilities, but he is not needed either.

Bakara nodded. "Understood." To be honest, Bakara was still a little intimidated by Sweet. This big wolf seemed to only listen to Miss Yu and that Katakuri. "Then I won't bother Miss Yu any longer." Bakara never dared to say the word "date."

I always feel that Yu-san and Katakuri's relationship isn't as close as I imagined; it seems like something's missing. Oh dear, I'm really curious.

You nodded, letting her go save the people first.

"Hehe, Katakuri-san, I won't bother you anymore." Cracker, being quite sensible, prepared to slip away.

He came here just to have fun, and after losing so badly earlier, he was really frustrated. Now that he has You backing him up, and it's free and unlimited, he's going to go crazy for a few days, or he'll be missing out big time.

Katakuri saw through it all but didn't expose him, letting Cracker do as he pleased.

Where to go next?

"Of course I'm going to have fun!" Please, she wanted to see him, and she wanted to cherish every single moment! "There's a ball at the main star hotel in the main tower later, wanna go?"

Dances and tea parties were familiar things to Katakuri, and he wasn't particularly interested in them.

"Perfect timing, look how stunning this dancer is." The answer was obvious: he would go, and he would go with Yu.

As expected, Yu smiled and took Katakuri's arm. "You just fired some candy beans, didn't you? Hand them over." She didn't hold back and started groping Katakuri all over.

Katakuri conjured up candy beans from who-knows-where and fed them to Yu, seemingly oblivious to the hands that were groping him.

"Don't forget, I can eat a lot. You won't have any weapons left then." You poked the firm muscles on his waist. Hmm, not bad.

"Then you'd better really eat it all up." Storing earth dragons is no problem at all, let alone the candy beans that Yu likes.

Yu stopped talking and focused on eating the candy.

Finding candy was just a pretext; taking advantage of her seemed to be the real purpose. Luo looked embarrassed as he looked at his wife, feeling a bit helpless, but mostly relieved.

Yes, Nathan looks very happy.

However, Ace next to him didn't seem so happy; his face was even darker than Ace's. "Stop looking, everyone's gone."

"Why didn't you follow them?" Ace was angry and forgot to follow for a moment, but then realized it too, and Law didn't make a move either.

With a cold snort, Luo turned and left in the opposite direction. "Why would I follow them? I don't want Naisan to hate me." Anyway, they'll only be staying for a few days. After that, Naisan will still be sailing with him.

We need to have a long-term vision.

“You’re absolutely right, let’s go play!” Ace grabbed Law’s neck and, without giving him a chance to refuse, dragged him toward the game area.

Bakara and her entourage followed Sweet at a considerable distance. This wolf seemed unapproachable, and even after Miss Yu said she was a friend, Sweet didn't change much.

However, Sweet was very efficient, and it didn't take him long to find Sarridon's ship. Moreover, even with Sarridon's crew guarding the ship, Bakala and her men didn't need to lift a finger.

Sweet quickly dispatched the crew members and then disappeared into the cabin. Bakala followed behind, arriving at a room that she guessed belonged to Saridon.

This time, Sweet sniffed left and right, taking a little slower than before. But he didn't keep Bakara waiting long; Sweet stopped in front of the bookshelf, "Aww!"

Bakara leaned closer to the bookshelf but couldn't see anything at first. However, since Sweet was sitting there motionless, there must be some kind of mechanism.

However, solving puzzles wasn't her forte. "Hey, come here." Bakara beckoned to one of her men, took off her gloves, and patted him on the shoulder.

Sweet didn't understand what she was doing, but there was no way to find out more now.

Bakara took a gold coin from her pocket and tossed it towards the bookshelf. It landed on a book, but nothing happened.

"Huh?" Sweet looked at Bakala's actions and was speechless, not understanding.

Bakara slowly walked forward and gently moved the book that had been tossed with the gold coin, causing the bookshelf to begin to move. Behind the bookshelf was a wall full of collectibles, including not only human-shaped ornaments but also many other items.

It seems that Sarridon is indeed a true collector, but he has collected things he shouldn't have, so let's stop here.

After removing the human-shaped pendant, Bakara had her subordinates remove the rest of the pendant without doing it herself.

“Little… Sweet, thank you so much.” Baka stopped halfway through extending her hand, but still expressed her gratitude verbally. “Now you can go find Miss Yu.”
