The three left the island and could see the view below. As Kong Mingwei had said, it was Grantesoro.
Twenty seconds have already passed, and in ten seconds we'll be dragging Grantesoro down with us. This is absolutely unacceptable.
"Yu, the destruction of Grantesoro was all because you were out of touch with reality." In the last bit of time, Yu still couldn't give Kong Mingwei the result she wanted, so she had to teach her a lesson and let her know the consequences.
Yu completely ignored Sora Mingwei's words. As the queen of Grantesoro, she had a duty to protect it! She would rely on her own abilities and the help of those around her, but she would never submit to Sora Mingwei.
"Ace! Law!"
Yu threw a large wooden stake in the direction of Luo and the others, and the ROOM instantly opened. Luo switched fingers and said "Basket," and Yu swapped positions with the wooden stake, appearing next to them.
"fire punch!"
"Water Fist!"
Yu and Ace's voices rang out simultaneously, and the two threw a punch back to back. A streak of light flashed across the sky, striking the falling island.
The light was Ace's Fire Fist, and beside the Fire Fist was Yu's Water Fist.
The massive impact altered the island's original trajectory, causing it to fall away from Grantesoro. The contact between fire and water created enormous plumes of steam, tracing paths across the dark sky.
Those on the streets of Grantesoro only saw the trail of flames followed by plumes of white smoke. From the ground, it looked spectacular, like a staged performance, a perfect prelude to the parade.
With the crisis resolved, You breathed a sigh of relief. But she didn't forget to praise her brothers for their excellent teamwork, "Very good! When we get back, I'll give you a reward."
"Hmph, of course we have that much understanding. Don't worry, Yu!" Ace tapped his hat with his finger, a smile playing on his lips as he enjoyed his sister's praise.
Law glanced at the smug Ace but said nothing. However, his expression betrayed his good mood.
The three of them were having a great time, completely unaware of the potential danger posed by Kong Mingwei.
Just then, a hand reached out from the space, trying to take advantage of their inattention to attack You.
But before her hand could even touch You, it was grabbed by another hand.
The immense pulling force left them defenseless, pulling them out of the space and exposing them to the four people's view.
"Hiss, wrong person." You looked at the unfamiliar person who didn't look like her at all, and knew that Kong Mingwei had found a scapegoat.
Katakuri abandoned the person with some disdain, saying, "They've probably already run away."
"Should we still pursue them?" Ace asked, after all, they were going to attack Yu, and they wanted to eliminate any potential threats.
Luo glanced at Yu's reaction and answered Ace's question, "She will reappear, there's no need to rush."
The scapegoat, whom Kong Mingwei had brought in, collapsed between the four, trembling. "I, I, she told me to reach out, I don't know, I don't know anything."
Without her saying it, all four of them understood.
"It's okay, we won't do anything to you." You patted her to comfort her. "Let's go back then."
The water column descended, carrying the five people to the port of Grantesoro.
Yu used a Den Den Mushi to contact Bakara and asked her to come pick someone up.
The person was taken away by Bakara, and the four of them returned to the main tower. Tezzolo and Stella were already waiting for them, as was Sweet.
Seeing Yu return unharmed, Stella breathed a sigh of relief. "You're not hurt, are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." She turned around to make it easier for Stella to check on her, and didn't forget to show off her three important men, "My two younger brothers protected me very well, and so did Katakuri. Moreover, with Katakuri's Observation Haki, Kong Mingwei can't get the better of me."
Although Katakuri didn't take any concrete actions, unlike Law and Ace who attacked or cooperated with Yu, he used his ability to coordinate the overall situation and ensure that there would be no deviation.
The timing of Yu and Ace's punches was precisely what Katakuri had told them beforehand. His aim was to lull Sora into a false sense of security and allow her to completely relinquish control of the island.
"There's one thing I'm not entirely sure about." Katakuri thought of what Law had said earlier, "If Law can easily switch your position, then Sora Mikoto can too."
"My ability requires me to weigh the difference in Haki between myself and that person. Since Nai-san doesn't have Haki, it will be very easy for him." Law's Haki has also increased to some extent, so using his ability will be easier for him.
Tesoro suddenly remembered, "Wouldn't it have been very tiring if you had switched places with me back then?"
"Ugh... That took a bit more effort." Tesoro back then was quite strong, at least for him, a real challenge. But without a formidable opponent, how can one break through their own limits?
Katakuri didn't care about any of that, "If Sora Mikoto were to replace you..."
“What use is it for her to take me? The crystal isn’t on me.” You wasn’t worried. Besides, she wasn’t necessarily outmatched. “I’m not sure how much Kong Mingwei is capable, but judging from the fact that she needs to resort to underhanded tactics to get the crystal, she probably isn’t confident against you.”
This means that the concern is that Kong Mingwei might occasionally make some small moves.
"She has no chance of winning if she attacks directly, but her subtle tricks are hard to guard against. Especially considering her abilities."
They needed to be prepared, but with Kong Mingwei operating covertly while they were in the open, they were indeed at a disadvantage. However, they didn't need to worry too much; their strength was undeniable, and even if Kong Mingwei made some underhanded moves, she wouldn't gain the upper hand.
Thinking it over, it didn't seem like a big deal. Seeing that it wasn't too late, the group decided to have some fun.
Yu didn't have any other suggestions, but seeing that there were quite a few people, she thought about playing cards.
Before the cards were brought out, and while the fruit platters and snacks were still on the table, they decided to divide into groups and figure out how to play.
You counted, and there were exactly eight people, enough for two people to form a group. But who should be paired with whom?
Playing the usual cards gets a bit boring; everyone's a skilled player, so let's try something different.
"Hehe, let's pair up and use our abilities, how about it?" Yu glanced at Katakuri and quickly grabbed his arm. "I'll pair up with Katakuri, you guys can do whatever you want."
Katakuri's strength doesn't lie in his abilities, but in his Observation Haki. Yu's first choice reveals her true intentions to everyone.
Bakara quickly grabbed Stella, "How about we form a group?"
Stella glanced at Tesoro, then took Baccarat's arm and sat down.
Tesoro was heartbroken. Looking left and right, he thought that Yu's two younger brothers seemed to be in the same boat, so he decided to give up and chose Mr. Tanaka.
“Lord Tesoro, you seem rather reluctant.” Mr. Tanaka emerged from the ground with a wicked grin.
Tezzolo scoffed and pulled him to sit opposite Baccarat and Stella. Even if they weren't a team, they were still a pair when playing cards.
After they chose their seats in pairs, only Law and Ace remained.
Ace pulled Law and pressed him into a seat, opposite Yu and Katakuri.
Luo sat down, and Ace pulled up a chair and sat down next to him. He propped himself up on the table with one hand and leaned against Luo's chair with the other, half-embracing Luo. "Hehe, we still need you to play cards. I'll warm up the atmosphere for you."
"..." Luo sighed, suddenly he was arranged.
Watching her two younger brothers interact so amicably, Yu's heart almost melted as their older sister.
Bakala went out for a while, and when she came back, she offered to shuffle the cards.
"Damn it, she's a ticking time bomb." You Sheng said dejectedly, "Come closer, don't let her touch you."
Yu pulled Kakashi a little closer, afraid that their luck would run out, and finally simply pulled Kakashi onto a chair, where she sat on his lap.
The first game has begun.
The cards were drawn by himself, one after another, one after another. After drawing his cards, Yu arranged the cards in Katakuri's hand, sorting them out, single cards, pairs, and bombs one by one.
The cards look pretty good, but the other three groups seem to have their own emotions.
The most obvious example is Tezzolo; you can tell from his hand that he's not doing very well, and Mr. Tanaka is standing next to him, chuckling to himself.
