One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 15 I want to visit the world

Yu felt that her relationship with Katakuri had changed a little. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was different. When she trained, Katakuri would watch from the sidelines and occasionally offer some pointers during battles; during afternoon tea, Katakuri didn't mind that she was in his room, and the two of them would eat together.

Yu felt that the two of them were acting strangely, but it also seemed like there was nothing wrong with them.

"What are you thinking about?" Katakuri walked over and saw Yu looking dazed.

"...Don't you need to go back to Whole Cake Island? The mission should be complete by now." Yu stared at Katakuri with her big eyes wide open.

"Why do you really want to visit the World Trade Center?"

"I guess so... I'd like to meet your younger siblings." Yu suddenly realized she didn't actually know Katakuri that well. "Katakuri, do you have a favorite younger sister or brother?"

“No…” Katakuri said solemnly, “There’s no real kinship within the family.”

"I don't believe it. You're not telling me because you're afraid I'll find out your weakness, are you?" You joked. "No, that's not right either. I already know your weakness."

"You'll know when you return to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand..."

"Then let's hurry back to the Kingdom! I've heard that the Kingdom has many dessert islands, and I'm really looking forward to it!"

World of Cakes

"Mom, Katakuri is coming back." Perospero reported to Big Mom and the news of Katakuri's return.

"Oh? You brought that girl back too."

"Yes, Mom. Should we prepare a tea party to entertain her?"

"A tea party! I love it the most. Go prepare it, and let her know how powerful our Bigmon Pirates are." Bigmon was delighted at the mention of a tea party.

"Yes, Mom."

"Brûlée, is Katakuri coming back?" Two figures, one tall and one short, stood outside the door, eavesdropping on the conversation inside. The shorter girl with orange hair asked the other girl.

“That’s right, Pudding, Katakuri is coming back.” The girl had purple hair, was tall and thin, but had a long and hideous scar on her face.

"Great! Katakuri-nii-san can take us out to play!" Pudding was so happy she almost screamed. Her older siblings were all very busy and generally didn't like to take care of children like them, but Katakuri-nii-san was incredibly kind and indulgent towards them.

"Brin? Bryn? What are you doing here?" Perospero came out and saw the two of them sneaking around.

"Brother Peros, is Katakuri coming back?" Brulee asked in return.

"Yes, mission accomplished. I'm on my way back. Mom said she's going to throw a tea party, so I'll go take care of that now."

"Prin, let's go back too. Let's wait for Katakuri to come back."

“Okay! Let’s go find Sister Chiffon and Sister Lola first!” Pudding said.

"Let's go, let's go through the mirror quickly." Brûlée pulled the person and walked into the mirror.

"Wait a minute, Brin! Your bangs are blowing away." Stepping out of the mirror, a strong gust of wind blew Brin's bangs away. A third eye was revealed beneath her bangs, and Brin covered it with her hand in concern, thankfully no one was around.

“It’s okay, Brin. There’s no one here.” Brûlée walked in front of Brin to shield her from view so she could relax while fixing her hair.

"Brûlée? Bryn? What brings you here?"

"Sister Chiffon! Sister Lola!" Pudding saw her twin sisters walking towards her and excitedly ran towards them. "Brûlée and I have come to play with you. Brother Katakuri is coming back!"

"Is Pudding thinking of going out to play, so she's hoping her brother will come back?" Chiffon asked.

“...Yeah, Wan Guo is no fun at all.” Pudding lowered her head. When she was alone in Wan Guo, they all disliked her, disliked her third eye.

"How about we sisters take you out now?" Lola interrupted. "I want to go out and find my love too!"

"Great! Sister Pudding, please use your abilities to get us out of here!"

"Okay, okay, I know." Brûlée said with a hint of exasperation towards her younger sister, Bryn.

Although Brulee's mirror ability allows her to travel through mirrors and reach places thousands of miles away, she has not strayed too far from the Kingdom of Worlds for safety reasons.

They arrived at the island closest to the Kingdom of Treasures. Because of its proximity, it was relatively safe and peaceful, as no outsiders dared to invade. However, it wasn't entirely safe, at least not for three-year-old Pudding.

Young and carefree, Brin ran around aimlessly, not caring whether Brûlée and the other two were keeping up with her. Soon, she was running off on her own. Looking at the strangers around her, Brin was at a loss, glancing around helplessly.

"Bree...Bree, where are you..." Bree muttered to herself.

"Ah! Sister Brulee!"

A figure of "Brûlée" flashed by in the distance, and Pudding, thinking it was Brûlée, immediately ran after her. She didn't even notice when she ran out of town.

"Bree! Slow down, I can't keep up!" Pudding ran behind, her face flushed, but "Bree" in front showed no sign of stopping.

"Bree!" The girl in front of her finally stopped. "Ha~ Bree, you're walking so fast, I can't keep up."

"Little sister, do you think I'm your Brûlée sister?" The figure in front of Pudding turned around. In front of Pudding was someone with the same hair color as Brûlée, but she was not her at all.

"Who...who are you?" Pudding was terrified; for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

"Who am I? I'm here to arrest you." The man crouched down, grabbed Pudding's hand, and lifted her up. "You look so good with bangs, you'd be even more adorable without them. You'd definitely fetch a good price."

As he spoke, the man reached out and lifted up Pudding's bangs.

"no, do not want..."
