One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 100 Yu's Exposed Truth

again!

"Ha, ha, ha~" Yu tried to adjust his yawning, and felt that he could barely get by before picking up the Den Den Mushi to answer the call.

"Click".

"... "

"... "

Silence, an endless and tacit silence.

Yu felt she should strike first. "Good afternoon, Kakashi. I just woke up though. The auction ended late last night, and I slept in a bit after finally getting away. By the way, how's your mission going? Are you getting ready to go back to Tales of Universe?"

His thumb was nervously gripping his other four fingers; hopefully, he hadn't given himself away.

But there was no sound on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and Yu didn't know what to do.

She felt that what happened last night was still well-hidden. She had an alibi, and no one would suspect her.

However, if her actions in Dressrosa are discovered, Doflamingo will definitely not let her off the hook, although he wouldn't have in the first place.

However, Yu wasn't sure what the older woman would think, or whether she would feel that Yu was openly provoking her.

That old lady is too unpredictable.

"Peros said that you were sent to the auction because you appeared in front of Mom." Katakuri couldn't understand why Yu would still be interested in Devil Fruits, since she already had the ability.

"That's right, but... well, don't laugh at me, I misheard the Gold-Gold Fruit as my brother's Quiet-Quiet Fruit, otherwise I wouldn't have come. But when I got here, I found out that the auction was just a front, and Doflamingo had no intention of auctioning anything, so the pirates at the scene rioted."

"Did you run into Doflamingo?" Katakuri's tone revealed worry. Yu's strength has improved significantly, but dealing with Doflamingo's entire clan is still too much of a stretch.

"No, no, Doflamingo didn't show up directly. The auction house exploded, and it was a complete mess. But I'm fine. Those small-time pirates didn't dare to act tough in front of the Big Mom Pirates." Besides, Doflamingo was just playing with them; he was busy dealing with the Donquixote Family soldiers.

"explode?"

"Emmm...yes! An explosion. I wonder which scoundrel got involved. What if someone else had been hurt? Sorry, Tesoro." "Don't even mention the auction, it was completely pointless. How did your mission go? Will I be able to see you when I return to Tavern World?"

Katakuri didn't believe Yu's words at all. She seemed to have deliberately changed the subject, probably because she was embarrassed to admit she'd gotten involved. "No, this is more complicated than we thought, and it will take some more time."

"Can I come visit you? I'm so bored in Wan Guo, and besides, I need my homemade donuts to keep my sugar levels up. Can you handle that?" Please say yes, let me come with you! Please say yes!

Katakuri scoffed. Clearly, Yu was starting to play dirty tricks.

Even if he agreed, Yu wouldn't be able to get to the sea area where he is now, after all, he's a terrible navigator who can get lost even on an island.

Faced with an endless ocean, can you tell which way is north, south, east, or west?

"Go and rest, don't think about anything else."

"I just..." she said, waking up.

"After using your abilities, take a good rest and don't push yourself too hard."

Yu was stunned. So he knew? Or had he guessed? "Besides you, has anyone else discovered it?"

"No, I guessed it too." After all, given Yu's personality, he's bound to cause some trouble on Doflamingo's turf.

He wasn't sure at first, but when Yu didn't answer her Den Den Mushi all morning, he guessed something was wrong. She does sleep in, but only in certain situations and when she can't be disturbed.

Yu must not be able to sleep near Doflamingo's territory.

If they haven't answered, and they're not sleeping, then they must be doing something else.

If Yu knew what Katakuri was thinking, she would definitely want to give him a good talking-to. Honestly, he sees right through her; she has no privacy at all.

So, I really can't come to see you?

"No, go back to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand and rest well. Wait for me to return."

Katakuri's refusal this time was very direct, and he hung up very directly as well.

Yu was utterly speechless.

So now she has to go back to the Kingdom of Treasures with Baron Egg to face Big Mom and a few others!

Yu wanted to go out for a stroll and train herself. Besides, how could she find a chance to sneak out and tell her grandfather that there was a spy in the navy, right under the noses of everyone else in the Kingdom?

No, we absolutely cannot turn back like this. We have to find a way, but how?

For a moment, her mind went completely blank; she had no ideas whatsoever. Running off suddenly would certainly arouse suspicion, but within the vast world, who could she go to sea with without being questioned?

Brulee won't do; Perospero almost never goes on sea missions, so that won't work either; then how about Little Firecracker? No, Little Firecracker talks too much, and besides, he's Katakuri's lackey, he'll definitely interfere in everything, which Yu finds annoying.

After much thought, You could only come up with a relatively reliable solution.

"Brubrub... Brubrub... Click"

"Hmm? Yu?"

The only person Yu could think of was Perospero.

Perospero handles all matters, big and small, in the world of Tales of Walden. He knows exactly where Katakuri is on a mission and what kind of mission he's on.

Yu cut to the chase, "What mission is Katakuri on this time, and where is it?"

"Hey~ Worried about Katakuri-san?" That voice belonged to Cracker.

"Little Firecracker, don't interrupt. Katakuri contacted me just now, and I feel like something's off about him."

Perospero took back the Den Den Mushi and explained, "I told Katakuri about your trip to Dressrosa; he's worried about you."

“I’m worried about him too. He’s been gone for half a month, and he just said that the mission won’t be over so soon.”

"Kukukuku~ When you guys go on missions, you don't come back for a month or two. You're worrying too much." Perospero thought Yu was overthinking it.

Yu knew, of course, that she was worrying too much; it was her very excuse for lying. Anyway, Katakuri would definitely cooperate.

But Yu underestimated Perospero; he didn't give himself any time to replenish his supplies!

"Katakuri is the most perfect person in the family, so don't worry. Go back to Whole Cake Island with Baron Tamago first." Perospero ended the call.

A lump formed in Yu's throat; she felt like she'd punched a pillow. Help! Did he really trust Katakuri that much? She wasn't even given a chance to finish her sentence. Now, she hadn't even found out the mission location, and she had to obediently return to Whole Cake Island.

I feel like going crazy, really!

My spellcasting was interrupted... That's really frustrating...

However, this conversation left Yu with a question—if Katakuri really got into trouble, would the Whole Cake Island immediately send reinforcements?

As for Perospero, it's unclear whether he either placed too much trust in Katakuri's abilities or simply didn't care about his life or death.

On the way back to World of Warcraft, Yu kept thinking about this question. He even subtly inquired with Baron Egg about whether World of Warcraft had any precedent of sending reinforcements.

the answer is negative.

The Big Mom Pirates are strong enough that they cannot afford to lose. However, when faced with any provocative pirate crews, Mom will send out powerful officers to deal with them.

Yu was somewhat disappointed, once again lamenting that Katakuri hadn't encountered Shanks or any other pirate crew.

Fortunately, something else distracted Yu.

The news made headlines at the Dressrosa auction, as did Diamanti, who was bound hand and foot on the coast of Dressrosa.

Nobody knows what happened in the end.

You breathed a sigh of relief; at least her disguise hadn't been exposed.

But the newspaper also pointed out that there were many people near the shore, and for no particular reason, the golden fruit was simply thrown into the sea, not eaten.

If they can salvage it, they will become a power user. They will still be able to control the power of gold.

However, it was all for naught. The fake fruit she made simply vanished when she threw it into the sea.
