One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 114 has ended…

"Mom, I told you long ago, this person joined the pirate crew with ill intentions, and today we'll make him disappear!" Flampe added fuel to the fire with a sneer.

She had been waiting for this situation for a long time. Finally, she could get rid of this person. From now on, she would be Katakuri's favorite little sister, with no one else vying for her attention!

Celluloid stood behind Franpe, her teasing gaze meeting Yu's.

In that instant, Yu understood. It was all Cellulose's doing; she had planned it all along. Did it begin with taking her away from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand, or did it go further back?

He really was single-mindedly determined to leave this world, starting by leaving the entire kingdom, so that no one in the kingdom would believe him and leave him isolated and helpless.

"Mom, she left Tsukaima without permission to contact the Navy. Celluloid used her abilities to leave evidence. Those awful brothers were kept in the dark by her, even going to rescue her and covering for her while keeping it from you, Mom." Franpe continued to slander Yu.

Perospero and Katakuri realized with a start that it was no wonder their mother had asked about Yu's situation again even though she already knew; she had suspected something back then! Now, not only Yu, but they might all be punished!

"Mom, Yu was tricked out by Celluloid!" Cracker said, still not understanding the situation.

Katakuri shot a candy bean from under the table and glared at him.

You're just making things worse. At this point, the more you speak up for You, the more you'll make things more complicated!

"Shut up, You! Tell me yourself!" The old woman roared, and a wave of pressure hit you directly, making it hard to breathe.

Katakuri gave Yu a look that his mother hadn't confirmed Yu was a Marine, only based on Celluloid's side of the story. He needed to get Yu to deny it; that would give them a chance.

But who knew that You would run into an older woman?

"I'll tell you myself? You've already accused me of everything, what's the point of me saying anything more?" Yu didn't intend to explain; she was thinking a little more than Katakuri.

Following Katakuri's example, she has a chance to clear herself of suspicion. But how will Big Mom view Katakuri afterward?

Celluloid has prepared for two scenarios this time. Either she leaves Whole Cake Island, or dies there; or she stays, and the relationship between Katakuri and Big Mom will definitely not be the same as before.

Auntie would never keep a son who wasn't wholeheartedly devoted to the Kingdom of Wan, at least not like before.

Katakuri cares most about his family.

"So you're not going to defend yourself?" The old woman didn't expect You to say that. This little girl has some guts, isn't she afraid that she'll just take away her lifespan!

Yu sneered, "Yeah, does it matter whether I'm a member of the Navy or not? Your sons have been completely fooled by me, and they're all defending me. Big Mom, you're a real failure as a mother."

"To tell you the truth, I joined the pirate crew just to find a safe haven and improve my strength."

"I originally wanted to stay, but since you can't tolerate me, I'll be sensible and leave on my own initiative."

The woman's face stiffened, but the next second all that could be heard was her maniacal laughter, "Mommom~ Mommom~"

"Since you're leaving, it doesn't matter whether you're in the Navy or not."

"However, according to the rules, in exchange, you have to leave something behind before you can leave." Since you want to leave, you naturally won't stay any longer, but whether you can leave peacefully is another matter.

If someone wants to leave the pirate crew, they will end it by spinning a wheel, and the options on the wheel include various cruel tortures.

This is a rule of the Big Mom Pirates. Yu knows it.

However, the lucky draw clearly didn't work today. The woman had to try another method.

"Life or live?"

Soul incantations are used to judge a person's life by questioning them; even the slightest fear can cause their soul to be instantly extracted. The soul can be arbitrarily taken away, measured in units of lifespan.

“I choose—life!” Yu answered calmly, her eyes showing no fear as she looked at the older woman.

This left the woman bewildered, and those around her were equally shocked, as no one had ever survived the curse of the mother's spirit.

Everyone felt that You was doomed this time.

That's right. The old lady was betrayed and deceived by Yu, and now her abilities have been broken by her. There is only one thought left in her mind: she must not let her leave peacefully, she must kill her!

As long as the Soul Spell can withstand Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki, it poses no other threat. Having experienced Shanks's repeated torment, Yu believes that Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki is no match for Shanks's, and he easily withstands it.

Once the woman had the idea to kill You, she immediately put it into action.

!!!

What are these? Is it something that will happen in the future? Yu accepted her mother's soul incantation, but her mother wanted her to die.

Doesn't she know to avoid her mother's power?! Why did she have to face it head-on?! She'll die. No! We can't let her die here!

Katakuri saw what would happen in the future for the first time, which confirmed Sarant's words that he could see the future with his Observation Haki!

In the brief moment of shock, Mom had already recited the soul incantation, and Yu had already chosen life; everything was proceeding according to what Observation Haki had shown.

Then, further down lies the Kingdom of Wei!

Without a moment to think, Katakuri summoned his Earth Dragon, standing between his mother and Yu, and attacked Yu.

"Katakuri, are you interfering with me?!" The old woman was getting angry.

"Mom, she betrayed the Big Mom Pirates, deceived you, and even more so, deceived me! I will personally send her on her way!" Her tone was icy, devoid of any warmth.

“You…” Yu was completely taken aback when Katakuri attacked her!

Perospero and Cracker, who were nearby, were also stunned, not expecting Katakuri to take action himself. But!

Before he could finish speaking, Katakuri charged forward with his Earth Dragon.

The Earth Dragon, the weapon whose barrel Yu had recently rebuilt using her abilities, was launching attacks against her time and time again.

The gun barrel, made using Yu's abilities, will not be affected by Yu's actions.

Even if damaged, it will be restored to its original state.

Yu Xin felt utterly hopeless.

Their movements to dodge slowed down considerably, and they didn't even notice when they were forced to the shore.

The earth dragon swung in the air, and Yu looked at the sharp light, meeting Katakuri's eyes.

Those eyes held so many emotions; Katakuri seemed to have so much to say to her, but in this situation, he could say nothing.

"puff!"

It was the sound of metal sinking into flesh.

The earth dragon pierced straight through You's body!

With Yu's current strength, he has no chance of winning against his mother. This is the only way Katakuri can think of to keep Yu alive!

"Here you go..." You said, her mouth full of blood, her voice muffled.

His body fell heavily backward into the sea and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Mommomo~Mommom~Katakuri, you did a great job." The old woman was very satisfied with her son's behavior. "She took a hit from you, and even if she fell into the sea, she wouldn't survive. Let her be buried at the bottom of the sea."

As the body sank into the sea, the blood was lost more quickly due to the seawater. Whether it was death from blood loss or death from suffocation was no longer important; the heart was dead.

Three years ago, he appeared before Katakuri in a disheveled state; three years later, he disappeared from Katakuri's sight in a disheveled state.

I repaid her for saving my life.

It's all over...
