One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 110 Go, Little Two

Yu was dreaming again.

In my dream, there were two men. One was Katakuri, and the other figure was also a man, but he was blurry.

Her intuition told her that this was the same man she had dreamed about before.

However, this dream had nothing to do with her; it was Katakuri talking to that man.

The two talked for a long time, but Yu couldn't hear everything, only snippets. In short, the man wanted to take Yu away, threatening Katakuri by saying Yu wasn't from this world and would face many dangers.

Katakuri said that they had a cooperative relationship and that the cooperation had not ended, so he would not allow her to leave the pirate crew.

Not only would Katakuri not let her leave, but Yu herself didn't want to either. Yu resented that man from the bottom of her heart, and the previous times she dreamed about him, she didn't have a good impression of him.

The man hadn't gotten anything from her the first few times, so he turned to Katakuri. Now that I think about it, the reason Celluloid came to her was probably because the two of them had conspired together.

Katakuri's answer was much smarter than Yu's. Yu fell into the trap precisely because she cared too much about Katakuri. But Katakuri's approach gave him the upper hand.

Hmph, that person actually thought he could use her to threaten Katakuri? That's just wishful thinking.

However, Yu was still a little concerned about the cooperative relationship that Katakuri had mentioned.

Their relationship should be even closer...

……

How ugly! Is this my arm?!

When You woke up, the light was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glare and saw that her arms were wrapped in white bandages.

It looked absolutely hideous, and it hurt a little too.

Yu remembered that she had fought with a stranger, and then that person disappeared. She was seriously injured and held on to her last breath, waiting for Kaka to come find her.

So, have I been found now?

Turning his head slightly, he saw a familiar figure sitting by the bed—Katakuri.

"Katarina?"

Katakuri was lost in thought with his eyes closed when he heard Yu's soft call. He opened his eyes, lowered his hands, and turned to see the person lying on the bed. The person's face was still pale, but a pair of bright, watery eyes were fixed on him without blinking.

"how do you feel?"

"Are you hungry? Would you like some water first?"

"Why are you crying? Your body still hurts."

You didn't answer any of the questions, but just kept talking, her eyes reddening and tears welling up.

"I thought something had happened to you..." Katakuri returned.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I ran into a little trouble on my way back, which made me late." He took a tissue from the side and carefully wiped away You's tears. You had some scratches on her face, and the tears would hurt if they got on her.

The slightest gesture brought tears to Yu's eyes. "Couldn't you have contacted me beforehand if you were going to waste time? Do you know how helpless I felt when even Perospero couldn't reach you?"

"The ocean is so vast, where can I find you..." Yu grabbed Katakuri's hand that was wiping her tears and took a bite.

The person who had just woken up was weak and didn't have much strength. Katakuri let her bite him without saying a word or pulling his hand back, letting Yu vent her anger to her heart's content.

"I don't care, from now on you must take me with you every time you go to sea, and you are not allowed to leave me alone in Wan Guo again," Yousong said, his voice heavy with emotion.

"...Later? Every time? I'll try my best."

"No, you have to swear it!"

"Let me help you up and give you some water. Don't cry, be careful of the wound on your face."

"I have injuries on my face too?!"

Yu was successfully steered away from the topic; after all, she cared about her appearance. An injury on her face couldn't be taken lightly! "Won't it leave a scar?"

"No, it's just a minor scratch, it's already scabbed over. I was afraid you'd pull it off if you moved too much." I breathed a sigh of relief; it was a minor oversight.

"That's good." You tensed up for a moment, then relaxed. "You know, this scab is so itchy." She wanted to scratch it, but she held back, because if she scratched it open, it would really leave a scar.

Katakuri helped Yu up, picked up a water glass with a straw and handed it to Yu, positioning the straw directly in front of Yu's mouth.

Glug glug, You kept drinking, you could tell she was really thirsty.

However, it's not suitable for someone who's just reached a certain age to drink too much water at once, so Katakuri promptly removed the straw. "I'll drink later."

"Hey, I'm hungry." Fine, I won't drink, but I can at least eat something if I'm hungry.

Katakuri's face darkened. From calling him "Katakuri" to "Little Second," Yu was really starting to disrespect him.

"What kind of way of addressing me is that?"

"Hmm, I'm not quite sure. It seems like that's the only way to address eunuchs in my memory." You had forgotten a bit, but the fragments of memory that came to mind were all about calling them that. They were all called "little something," and those who were called that would go and do this or that for the person giving the order.

Just like Katakuri is now, helping her with things is a privilege that she has as a patient.

"Eunuch?" Calling him that doesn't seem like a good thing...

"If you don't like it, I'll change it." Yu blurted out without hesitation, "How about a small hair clip?"

“…Stop talking.” Katakuri was speechless; each one was more outrageous than the last. “Just stay put, I’ll get you something to eat.”

"Go, little waiter."

"..." Katakuri didn't want to pursue the matter, but his intuition told him that if he didn't cut his losses now, Yu would only become more and more reckless. With a dark face and a warning look in his eyes, he prepared to have a serious talk with her.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Yu pretended to be in pain by turning her back to him.

"... "

Okay, he admits defeat...

After that, Youke used her patient privileges extensively. She stopped calling him "Little Erzi," but her hands and feet seemed useless; she didn't do anything herself.

Cracker watched the spectacle from the sidelines, after all, who could keep ordering Katakuri around all the time, especially since Katakuri couldn't even argue back.

Ah, just as I thought, Yu is the chosen one, a true sister-in-law.

The ship has already set sail back to the world, but because of You, the sailing speed is relatively slow.

But neither ship had any urgent business, and with Perospero on the other side, there was nothing to worry about or need to find excuses to cover it up.

Aside from the few people in the conference room at the time, only Cellulose and Flampe knew that Yu had left the Kingdom of Twilight alone. But Perospero had warned them that the secret wouldn't be revealed.

Princess Katakuri carried Yu to the deck to sunbathe. The wind at sea was very light today, otherwise Katakuri would not have let Yu come out.

The sea breeze was gentle, warm and damp, and it soothed You's scabbed wound. The wound was slowly healing, but it was really itchy.

"You still haven't told me what happened that day." Katakuri settled Yu down and then sat down next to her.

Yu had not forgotten the person who had wronged her; she would never forget him so easily.

“I met him as soon as I arrived on the island. He recognized me, but I don’t remember ever seeing him before. He seemed to know about my abilities, but not completely, because he said that if he acquired my abilities, he would be invincible.” Yu didn’t hide anything and told the truth.

Katakuri frowned. "Very few people know your abilities. Can you rule them out?"

“He’s not someone I know. Grandpa and Shanks definitely don’t know him either. Doflamingo wouldn’t associate with him either. I can’t think of anyone.” Yu wasn’t that nervous, and she didn’t plan to tell Katakuri anything more about this Dark-Dark Fruit user. “Oh, don’t worry, he won’t show up again. I’ve already taken care of him.”

Yu lied.

During the battle, I vaguely guessed that the Devil Fruit user might be from the future. After all, there are Devil Fruits that allow time travel, and it's not impossible that someone in the future ate one and teleported them back.

However, Yu is unsure if she will come back again.

Aside from her ability to control the sea, the Dark-Dark Fruit's power is probably unbeatable. It's best not to let Katakuri know.

She thought this would put Katakuri at ease, but in all her calculations, she overlooked how much Katakuri cared about her, especially after Sharant threatened him.

Have you ever thought about returning to the world that originally belonged to you?
