One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 83 What a Scam for My Sister!

Jinbe watched the interaction between the brother and sister, then looked at Praline, who was beaming with joy, and Aladdin, who, as usual, showed no particular emotion... He felt a little superfluous.

"I didn't expect Katakuri to be so good to your sister." Jinbe stared thoughtfully in the direction of the ship.

“Brother Katakuri has always been very kind to us! But he’s even kinder to Sister-in-law Yu!” Praline had already floated to Aladdin’s side.

Jinbe turned to return to his ship. "Aladdin, protect his sister. I'll go back to the ship and check on everyone."

He wasn't going to be an eyesore here. His thoughts returned to Yu and Katakuri from earlier. That must be the Marine Little Witch Yu. Something must have happened to make her shrink, but she's back to normal now.

Rosinante was killed in action, and the whereabouts of the Marine girl Yu, who was with him, are unknown. It's common knowledge that Sengoku and Garp dote on Yu; it's impossible that they wouldn't have left her there completely unnoticed.

Later, Sengoku personally issued a warrant for Yu's arrest. At that time, they did not know what had happened to this little witch. Perhaps it was for her own reasons, or perhaps it was for something else, like Rosinante.

Previously, when Jinbe saw Katakuri holding a small doll with the same name on the underwater vortex of Sanegalo Island, he thought it was just a coincidence. Only today did he realize that her joining the Big Mom Pirates was an accident or had another purpose, but there was no clue as to whether it was.

However, these were not things he should be considering. Without orders from the Navy, even as a Shichibukai, he had little to do. If it weren't for his fellow countrymen, becoming a Shichibukai would never have been an option for him.

"Boss, why did you come back alone? Where's Aladdin?" Jinbe's fellow members of the Sun Pirates greeted him, but instead of the usual three, he returned alone. "Where's that little shark?"

"Wow, those two can't even keep up with my legs."

"..." Boss, if you didn't want to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) and came back first, you could have just said so, we understand, but this reason is really a bit...

Jinbe looked at the somewhat disdainful expressions on his brothers' faces and didn't understand. Was what he said wrong?

As the sun set and the moon rose, Aladdin safely returned Praline to the pirate ship.

Praline hummed a song, her shark tail swaying, clearly in a good mood.

"Lord Pralinne, you're finally back!" The chess soldier rushed over upon seeing the newcomer.

"Is there something you need from me?"

"Lord Katakuri wants you to go to Lord Yu's room right away."

The chess soldiers didn't know exactly what was going on, only that Lord Katakuri's tone seemed rather unfriendly when he gave the order.

Pralinenne proceeded without hesitation, remaining completely silent. Even outside the room, she heard no loud noise.

Her slightly anxious heart relaxed. What could have made her brother Katakuri so serious and anxious?

"Brother Katakuri?" Praline gently knocked on the door to wake him.

A deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

The door opened, revealing what had happened inside, and then the world became even quieter.

Her beloved sister-in-law, Yu, was wrapped around Katakuri from behind like an octopus. The cloak covered her body, but her limbs escaped.

Her fair arms wrapped around Katakuri's neck, but that wasn't all. Because she was asleep, her hands dangled down and touched her brother's chest muscles; her slender legs wrapped around Katakuri's waist.

Half her face was buried in Katakuri's scarf, so her breath was just touching his ear. Praline didn't miss Katakuri's slightly red ears.

Oh no! Did she see something she shouldn't have? Wait a minute, shouldn't brother be happy? Even when she's asleep, Sister-in-law You clings to brother; she loves him too much!

"Brother, you called me here... is there something you need help with?" Praline thought to herself, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of her brother Katakuri; she wasn't that bold.

"..." Katakuri's brows relaxed a little, and he sighed softly. "Change her clothes later."

"Aww, okay." Huh? That's it? That's it?!

I thought something serious was going to happen, and all you did was help Sister-in-law Yu change her clothes? Couldn't my brother do it himself? Does this mean my brother and sister-in-law haven't reached that point yet?

Who could resist the temptation? Or were they simply not attractive to each other?

While thinking, Katakuri stood up and reached out, for what seemed like the umpteenth time, tried to put Yu down.

He had really tried very hard before! But Yu just wouldn't let go, and even started to get angry after his repeated attempts.

What could Katakuri do? He'd come up with the idea to provoke someone, and it'd only made them worse, causing them to cling to him. To make sure they wouldn't be too difficult to soothe when they woke up, he could only let it be.

"Come here, help me."

"Okay, okay."

With Praline's help from behind, Katakuri used mochi to make a substitute, thus freeing himself from her embrace and settling Yu on the bed.

While Praline was still pondering the complicated matter and even suspecting that her brother was tricking her into doing hard labor, Katakuri had already closed the door, leaving Praline and Yu alone.

"elder brother???"

"Her clothes are all in the closet. Change her clothes, and you'll take care of her tonight."

"Huh?! Ah! Brother!" Pralinne was on the verge of tears. Why was she all alone instead of lending a hand?

Yu quickly realized that what she was holding was glutinous rice. After throwing the glutinous rice away, she grabbed Pralinne by feel.

"Wow! Sister-in-law You, calm down! How am I supposed to change your clothes like this?!" No wonder my brother ran away so fast, it was so sudden! "Brother, help!"

"Hmm... Katakuri...you've lost weight..." Yu wrapped her legs around Pralinne, her hands starting to grope haphazardly. "And your breasts...they've gotten bigger..."

"Sister-in-law Yu, it's me, Praline! Praline!" Katakuri, you really know how to really mess with your sister!

On the deck, the sea breeze caressed their faces. The patrolling chess soldiers listened to the sounds coming from inside the cabin, each one quite curious.

But... Katakuri, at the bow of the ship, remained somber, gazing at the calm sea in the distance...

"What's wrong with Lord Katakuri tonight?"

"I don't know. Lady Yu fell asleep when she came back, and now we can only hear Lady Pralinne's voice."

"So... what happened between these three adults?"

"have no idea..."

"Hey, when Lord Katakuri came out, his ears were red and there were some scratches on his body."

"Oh oh oh awoo awoo!"

"What are you yelling about?"

"Only Lord Katakuri and Lord Yu were in the room before. What does that mean!"
