One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 136 He Loves His Brother So Much

Yamato felt he should lend a hand. "Onigashima is huge, I'll take you there!"

Deus never expected that in such a short time, the boss and this young master would become such good friends.

"Awoo!"

With a wolf's howl, two figures moved swiftly behind Deus and his companions.

"Boss! Deus! We found Yu! She's in a very bad situation!" Skars, panting, followed behind Sweet. He finally stopped running and quickly told him about Yu's condition.

"Dius, quick, quick, look! Her body is burning hot, and there are lots of red spots."

Deus didn't dare delay and went over to help Sweet lay down on the ground. He touched Sweet and could clearly feel its chest heaving, indicating it had been running for a long time.

Ace and Yamato also came down from the stone wall and waited around Deus.

"How could this happen!" Ace looked at Yu like this, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Yamato saw Yuzai and realized, "Ace, she's actually your sister! She was taken to Onigashima and imprisoned four months ago."

"She was infected with the virus created by Quinn. Without Quinn's antidote, no one can save her."

“But he’s not on the island right now; Kaido took them out.” Even if he were here, he couldn’t possibly produce the antidote.

"hateful!"

Deus glanced at Yu's condition; his expression was grim. This was a viral infection he had never seen before. "Yamato, do you know where Quinn's lab is? I need to know the composition of the virus."

"I know, I'll take you there!"

Yamato led the way, with Deus close behind. Ace and Sweet took Yuu with them, while the others saw the children off first.

Quinn's lab was large, but it was mostly empty, or rather, it wasn't very helpful to Yu.

"Deus, do you have a way?" Since there's no help here, we can only rely on Deus. He's Ace's only hope.

Diuss buried his head in Quinn's lab and searched around. "It takes time to extract blood and analyze its components. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."

Yamato seemed to realize something and ran off on his own.

Ace didn't even have a chance to call out to her.

Without much thought, Ace still let Deus extract Yu's blood first.

"Woo~"

Sweet lay down to one side, tucking his mouth into his forearm, anxiously watching You lean against him.

"It's okay, Yu will be alright." Ace comforted the wolf, who was bigger than him when he stood up; he was worried too.

"Ace!" Yamato, who had rushed out in a flurry, came rushing back, clutching someone in his hand. "I... he was here to deliver medicine to your sister!"

"He has the antidote!"

The person captured by Yamato was there to regularly deliver a semi-finished antidote to Yu, but this medicine could only prevent her condition from worsening, not completely cure it.

Upon learning the truth, Yamato hung his head, feeling somewhat guilty. But it was all in vain…

"Thank you, Yamato. With this medicine, Deus has more time to concoct the antidote." Ace was very grateful; Yamato had already helped them a lot.

However, there were only two semi-finished products, and they didn't have much time.

"Awoo~"

Sweet sobbed, drawing Ace's attention.

Yu's fingers twitched slightly, and her breathing calmed down, as if she were about to wake up.

"Yu!"

Yu's hand moved to her neck, but quickly fell back down. "Find him..."

Who? Whom does Yu want him to find?

Ace was confused, but following Yu's movements, he noticed a small glass bottle around his neck containing a white piece of paper. Upon closer inspection, the paper was moving.

Taking out the glass bottle, Ace could see more clearly that it was indeed a piece of paper that could move.

"This is a Vivre Card!" Yamato exclaimed. Ace had heard of it before but was seeing it for the first time. "This must belong to your sister's friend. Perhaps he has a solution. He must be a skilled doctor."

Ace didn't know whose Vivre Card it was, but since Yu believed that person had a way, Ace could only take Yu to the owner of the Vivre Card.

However, "I'm sorry, Yamato, I wanted to tell you more about what's happening outside, but I'll have to find another opportunity next time."

Yamato waved her hand, her expression indicating that she didn't care. "Your sister needs your help more right now. I'm fine!"

"Ace, after fighting you, I've figured it out! Even if I can't leave now, I will definitely set sail in the future, I will definitely catch up with you, and become a famous pirate!"

Ace smiled, whether it was because Yamato said she would catch up with him, or because she understood, Yamato was his friend. "Then I'll be waiting for you! But the Pirate King will definitely be my little brother Luffy!"

"You always have to mention your little brother Luffy everywhere you go!" Yamato tilted her head, clearly annoyed by the situation.

In the conversations after their fight, Ace mostly talked about his younger brother Luffy or his older sister Yu.

However, Yamato's older sister, Yu, has already met her; it turns out to be the pirate Kaido has been searching for. Although Yamato doesn't know what's so special about her, Kaido's high regard for her suggests she must be incredibly strong.

With older sister Yu and younger brother Ace both being incredibly capable individuals, their younger brother Luffy is unlikely to be far behind. What an amazing family!

"I will keep an eye on his news!" I'm sure we'll see Luffy in the news someday!

Ace waited until his companions who had escorted the children returned before setting sail.

After parting ways with Yamato on Onigashima, they flew down the waterfall along the original sea route!

The weightlessness of freefall made everyone on board feel like their skin and flesh were about to separate. Just as they finally saw the ocean bottom, a series of heavy impacts followed.

"Awooo!" Sweet ran out of the cabin and roared angrily at everyone on the ship except for Ace and Yu.

What an unreliable bunch! Don't they know to find other safe routes?

If it hadn't been for it and Ace protecting Yu during the fall, Yu might have already been thrown out!

"Boss, it's always yelling at us!" Scal was furious. He was a perfectly normal man, and being howled at by a wolf all day long—what was the point of his pirate career?! "Hmph, hmph, hmph, try yelling at us again!"

Scarl, furious and fearless, provoked Sweet, occasionally reaching out to test him, as if he wanted to fight Sweet to the death.

Of course, if you can ignore the fact that he was almost entirely hiding behind Deus, it was still very courageous.

The reason he was hiding behind Deus was simply because Sweet knew that Deus, the ship's doctor, was the only one on the ship who could help Yu.

However, the result of Skal's provocation was that he didn't even manage to touch Sweet.

Sweet ignored him completely, turned his nose at Scal, gave a haughty "humph," and turned back to his cabin to keep an eye on Yu's situation.

Scalle, “…”

Michal patted Skar on the shoulder, comforting his shattered pride. "Boss, what did the Vivre Card say?"

"Let me see... this way!" Ace placed the small glass bottle horizontally, following the direction indicated by the Vivre Card. "Full speed ahead!"

The captain gives orders, and the crew must obey them!

"Awoo!" Sweet suddenly turned back from halfway through the cabin and stared in the other direction the pirate ship was sailing.

There's a pirate ship sailing over there.

Ace assumed it was Kaido's pirate ship or some other pirate attack. But Sweet's demeanor didn't seem wary; rather, it looked like he was waiting.

The pirate ship got a little closer, and Ace could see the bow clearly—it was Katakuri's ship!

Ace waved to his companions, signaling them to wait a moment.

Was he here to pick up Sweet, or to take Yu along as well? Ace wasn't sure, but running away wasn't his usual style. Besides, Katakuri had helped him fend off Iska.
