One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 102 They're all troublesome, one or two of them.

Montor replied, "We were very fast and didn't take any detours around the islands. There was no one else but a few of us."

This was the only piece of good news that could calm Perospero down. "Creek, go to sea as planned. That way, no one will suspect that Yu is missing." It also gives her a reason to ask her mother questions.

"I suspect someone is with Yu." It's almost impossible for Yu to go out to sea alone without any obstacles.

Perospero agreed that although Yu was worried about Katakuri, if she wanted to go to sea, she wouldn't have waited until now. Someone must have told her something and then taken her to sea.

"Who could it be?" Baron Egg couldn't figure it out.

First, we can rule out the people inside the room; the other ministers are also unlikely to be among them.

Everyone in the Kingdom of Wan knows You and is aware of the Kingdom's rules; they would never lead her to do anything foolish.

After eliminating them one by one, only one person remained.

"It's celluloid!" Smoothie was the first to realize.

During the previous invasion of the Treasure Kingdom, Celluloid was targeting Yu, trying to take advantage of the situation to do something. Fortunately, her brother arrived in time, preventing serious consequences.

Furthermore, according to Brûlée, Celluloid's targeting of Yu was something that existed from the very beginning. The intention was quite obvious.

"Damn it, how dare this girl be so blatant! If I catch her, I'll teach her a lesson!" Cracker was furious, gripping the hilt of his sword with an air of impending doom.

Baron Eggman tactfully moved aside, his gaze wandering over Montor's book. Seeing the movement point had reached the book's boundary, he asked, "Can the territory's manatees keep up?"

"No, Yu is too fast; the reconnaissance ship can't catch up. Besides, once we leave the World Oceans, we won't be able to receive information about the territory's manatees."

Montor shook his head. Relying on the territory's manatees for tracking wouldn't work. "By the way, Perospero, you have Yu's Den Den Mushi. See if you can contact her."

This is the only option left.

Perospero took out his Den Den Mushi and made the call. Cracker had already left the meeting room and was hurrying to load the ship; they had to leave quickly. Otherwise, they might lose Yuu before even finding their brother.

“Brubrubru… Brubrubru…”

“Brubrubru… Brubrubru…”

The Den Den Mushi didn't connect, and the last resort didn't work either.

The people in the conference room were back to square one, completely at a loss.

"Ughhhhh, this is so frustrating! Neither of them is any peace of mind!" Perospero was exasperated. There was no news about his younger brother, and now Yu was adding to the chaos!

Smoothie looked coldly at her older brother, who was acting completely out of character, and silently considered other options.

Of the ordinary and leisurely ones who have been away the most recently, besides Katakuri and a few others, only Brûlée and Brin remain.

“I’ll go find Brulee.” Brulee might have a way to get in touch, or some other idea.

Brûlée was playing house with Brin when Smoothie suddenly barged in, startling her. But seeing Smoothie's strange expression, she quickly sent Brin away.

As Smoothie briefly described what had happened, Brûlée's face visibly fell, and there was even a hint of anger in it.

After Smoothie finished speaking, she looked at Brûlée and prepared to calm her down first.

But before she could finish speaking, Brulee swallowed her anger.

"First, find Katakuri. He has a way to find Yu." Although he didn't know the specifics of the method, the last time they went out to sea together, Yu disappeared and it was Katakuri who found him.

After a solution was provided, Brûlée couldn't help but mutter a couple of words, "How could my brother have fallen for her?"

Smoothie didn't answer, and quickly went to tell Cracker to find Katakuri as soon as possible.

Brûlée couldn't go with them; Brin was still inside the house.

They could only pray that Celluloid wouldn't do anything too outrageous, and that Yu could handle the situation. Otherwise, if something happened to her, her brother would be devastated.

Katakuri has finally met someone he can be completely open and honest with; he absolutely cannot let anything happen to him.

More importantly, Brulee already considers Yu as her close family member. Although he doesn't hold the same position as her brother Katakuri, he's at least among the top in her heart.

Yu, who had left Wan Guo, was completely unaware that her friends, with whom she spent her days, were like ants on a hot pan, fearing that something might happen to her.

Yu had only one thought in her mind right now: to find Katakuri!

Celluloid was being held tightly by Yu, but she didn't even think about running away.

Everything is proceeding as she expected.

Celluloid felt very fortunate. Although Yu's behavior and personality were completely different after arriving in the world of One Piece, one thing remained unchanged—that is, concern can cloud judgment.

This is her weakness, it always has been, and it still is. If you can grasp what she cares about, everything will be much easier.

She would never have left the adults before. Celluloid could tell that she was dissatisfied with her previous life without any freedom, but she had been content with the status quo simply because she cared about the adults.

As for what happened next, perhaps they were forced into a corner.

The same goes for Yu now.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around Yu, Celluloid deliberately mentioned to her why there had been no news about Katakuri. Yu immediately panicked and left Whole Cake Island with herself.

But the plan was only halfway done, and she still had to return to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand to find out how the ministers would react to such actions.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. I'm warning you, don't touch Katakuri!" Yu controlled the speed of the seawater without slowing down, turning back to threaten Celluloid.

If it were anyone else, Yu wouldn't believe it at all. But this person is Celluloid, someone who is 90% not from this world, someone who has the ability to manipulate this world. Yu doesn't dare to gamble, especially since the stakes are Katakuri.

This time, even if Celluloid digs a huge pit for her, she will jump in without hesitation.

Celluloid smiled, but the smile was cold, making Yu uneasy. "Whether Katakuri will be alright depends on how much you care. If it had been any later, he might already be decapitated."

Yu grabbed her hand and tightened his grip without warning. Celluloid gasped in pain, and the cold smile on her face froze.

They're trying to break her arm.

Yu traveled by sea for nearly five days, stopping briefly at islands along the way to inquire about news, but she didn't get what she wanted.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, she arrived at the island where G-1 base was located.

Yu was visibly weak, with bluish circles under her eyes, a result of not getting enough rest.

G-1 base is on the edge of the island. Yu first came to the small town on the island and found a hotel to rest.

If Katakuri is indeed at G-1 base, to rescue him, one must ensure they are physically strong and have a well-thought-out plan.

Yu tied up the celluloid using vines created from the wood element she could control.

They'd tampered with it; the vines would react to any movement the cel would make. This was also a way for Yu to protect herself; the cel was untrustworthy.

After getting plenty of rest, Yu immediately set off for G-1's base.

While trying to sneak into the base from the entrance, Yu was discovered.

"Huh? Yu, the little devil of the Navy?" A Navy officer suddenly patted Yu on the shoulder from behind.

Yu was startled and quickly took three steps back to keep her distance. "You... know me?" She didn't recognize this navy officer, but given her previous reputation, quite a few navy officers would recognize her.

The navy officer was very eager, saying that he knew Yu and had heard of her reputation for a long time, and admired her for being so close to the admiral at headquarters.

Yu has heard this kind of rhetoric many times. There are also many people in the Navy Headquarters who know how to talk like this, all hoping to get promoted by using Yu.

But Yu refused them all. First of all, she was a little witch, and witches couldn't follow the rules. Secondly, if these unreliable marines were promoted, the navy would only become a mess.

Yu ignored him and went straight to the question she wanted to ask, "Did you guys catch a pirate recently?"

"We've caught quite a few pirates lately, but I wonder which one the witch is referring to?"

"Is Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates among them?" Yu asked bluntly.
