One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 93 Bekemus has beady eyes

Yu strongly suspects that the old lady did this on purpose. That way, she can stay in the Cake Castle and make desserts for the old lady indefinitely.

Speechless. Birds of a feather flock together. It used to be for the KA2, now it's for the auntie. That mother and son are truly admirable.

In addition to making desserts, she also has the additional task of taking care of patients.

Yu's resentment lessened considerably when facing the fur tribe.

When Yu followed Baron Egg to the Book Prison to see the Lion Mink Clan, he was still unconscious.

It wasn't small; it looked to be about two meters tall. Its pink clothes were tattered and unrecognizable.

Its mane was quite fluffy, and Yu couldn't resist giving it a squeeze. It felt nice, though not quite the same as Zeus's. But Yu was still very tempted by the feline.

It would be even better if it were a canine, preferably a wolf, that would look really cool.

The lion was badly injured, and Baron Egg did not treat him while he was in the prison, causing his wounds to become infected.

The ship's doctor said that most of these were knife wounds and superficial injuries, but because they were not treated in time, they had become inflamed, so it would take him some time to wake up.

Yu has basic medical knowledge, but with a professional present, she listened very carefully.

The lion woke up the next afternoon. At that time, Yu had just finished making dessert for the old lady and explained that the lion hadn't woken up yet, so he came to see him.

I had barely sat down and hadn't even had a chance to stroke its mane when the feline on the bed let out a startled "Gah!" and sat bolt upright as if its fur had stood on end.

Yu was startled by the sudden sound, and stared blankly at the bristling feline in front of her, then her attention was drawn to its eyes.

"Pfft, hahahahahaha..." Yu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

She wondered why the lion was wearing sunglasses; it turned out it was to hide its beady eyes.

This was the first time Yuzhen had ever seen such small eyes in her life, and she couldn't help but smile.

In her mind, both felines and canines have big, bright eyes; even the goat of her grandfather from the Warring States period didn't have such small eyes.

But the feline in front of me had beady eyes.

"Hey, what are you laughing at!" The lion looked around warily, finally fixing its gaze on You.

"Cough cough cough." Yu heard her voice and barely managed to stop laughing. "Um, my name is Yu. This is Whole Cake Island, where the Big Mom Pirates are located. We rescued you on a pirate ship. You've been sleeping for over a day."

Upon hearing the explanation, the lion lowered its guard, its mane softening. "The Big Mom Pirates? Big Mom, one of the Three Emperors?!"

No matter how shocked I was, my bean-like eyes remained the same size, without any change.

“It’s the BIGMOM you’re thinking of. Do you want to move it a bit closer? The wound has reopened, I’ll re-bandage it for you.” Yu pointed to the wounds on his shoulder and other places, where red blood was already seeping out.

The lion relaxed and felt the pain all over its body. After hearing what You said, it moved over with a mixture of wariness and belief.

You focused intently on removing the gauze, reapplying the medicine, and wrapping the gauze again.

"Little lion, what's your name? Are you from the Mink Tribe on Zou Island? How did you end up at sea and get captured by pirates?" Yu asked curiously.

"My name is Bekmus, gaoh! Don't call me Little Lion!" Bekmus retorted vehemently. He was clearly a male lion! How did he become a little lion! "I was born in Zou, but when I went out to sea, I encountered those pirates and got captured, gaoh."

"You keep calling me 'this great man,' I thought you were something special."

"That's because they outnumbered me, haha, otherwise I would have definitely beaten them to a pulp." Beckmus tried his best to salvage his heroic image.

Yu Cai didn't care how powerful he was; as long as his race existed, the old lady would keep him around.

But will this lion really stay willingly? If it refuses the older woman, I can't believe it might end up as a specimen.

"What if it's a one-on-one fight against Bigom?"

"..." Beckmus was silent, his beady eyes switching back and forth between beady and a line, and finally he jumped up, "Gah!"

This "gao" was clearly not the same tone as before; the pitch had risen a notch.

Fortunately, Yu covered her ears in time.

"Gah, are you serious? Big Mom is going to do this to me?!"

"Then why did you save me? You might as well have let me die on that pirate ship!"

Since the other party was injured, Yu spoke kindly, "BIGMOM didn't say she wanted to deal with you, but since you are a Mink, she must want to keep you here."

Beckmus became alert again, his beady eyes, which were unreadable, shifted slightly before finally staring intently at You.

The intention was obvious, but Yu wasn't afraid. "The Whole Cake Island is in the center of Whole Cake Island. Even if you defeat me, you'll still have to face many pirate crew executives."

"Little Lion, Big Mom said she'll take you to see her once you're better. So you'll be staying here for the next few days, no need to rush. Focus on healing your injuries first."

Anyway, we don't know what Beckham's plans are. Instead of thinking about this and that now, he should focus on recovering from his injury. Once he's fully recovered, he'll be even more competitive.

Beckmus thought what was said made a lot of sense, and indeed, moving those two things had aggravated his wound.

Five days later, Beckmus was almost fully recovered.

Baron Egg also came over and took Bekemos to see the old lady.

Yu felt like she had been dragged here to do hard labor, taking care of the lions and making desserts.

However, over the past few days, You's relationship with the older woman has improved slightly.

Perhaps it was the dessert that put the older woman in a good mood, and she was very friendly to You, both in Taodu and Yuqi.

Yu wasn't so averse to it anymore.

It's quite strange. The old lady is really unpredictable. She used to look down on her, but now she can talk to me nicely.

“Brubrubru… Brubrubru…”

The Den Den Mushi in his pocket kept ringing. Yu excitedly took out the Den Den Mushi and ran to the window to answer it.

"Bru bru...click"

"Katarina 2!"

Katakuri, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, couldn't help but smile when he heard Yuu's joyful and excited tone. "Yeah."

"You've arrived at the mission location? Did you encounter any danger?" Katakuri was suddenly sent on a mission the day after Yu arrived at Whole Cake Island.

As a result, he could only contact Katakuri via Den Den Mushi each day. However, these interactions were usually very brief.

You was afraid of affecting him, after all, he was on a mission at sea as the captain of the ship.

"It'll be soon. I won't be able to contact you for the next few days. If you need anything, contact Perospero, Smoothie, or Cracker," Katakuri instructed. "You can also contact Owen."

These people are people Katakuri considers very reliable, and they can substantially help Yu solve the problems that Whole Cake Island might cause her.

You heard these words of advice almost every day. "I know, you've said it so many times. I told you, I've been getting along well with your mom these past few days. As long as there's no Celluloid or Flampe, I'll definitely be fine."

"..." Katakuri was still uneasy; Perospero had given the same reply, but Katakuri remained cautious. "Hmm."

"Let me tell you, that Pekoms, the lion, was just called away by Baron Tamago to see Big Mom. Do you think he'll stay? If he does, I can pet the cat every day." Yu shared the day's events with Katakuri in real time.

"You've never tried touching something furry, have you? Let me tell you, Katakuri feels amazing. But honestly, I think wolves are cooler than lions, and they're incredibly united and loyal!"

"Oh, wouldn't it be so cool to have a wolf as a companion? Just looking at it every day would be wonderful, and I could even pet it."
