[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 170 Truth or Life

stare--

Rosie was staring at Katakuri.Although the other party couldn't see him at all, he felt that Katakuri should be able to feel his presence to some extent.For example, if you suddenly move your position while staring at him, he will look over! !

"...?"

"He seems to be able to see me! Cabbage!" Rossi pointed to Katakuri who was looking at the air with question marks all over his head, "He really can see me!!"

"Can Mr. Katakuri see Rossi?" Yuxiang asked directly.

"I can't see it." Katakuri replied very readily, "But I can feel the sight. He doesn't like me."

"Nope~" Youxiang showed a perfunctory smile, and she said, "Rosie is a very gentle person! I won't hate Mr. Katakuri!"

"No cabbage! I don't like him! He looks fierce and dangerous!" Rosie gestured there, "No! Tell him I really don't like it! Tell him to calm down!"

You can tell it yourself!It's not impossible to show up!Youxiang rejected him with a smile on her face, and then said: "Mr. Katakuri is a person with the ability to use Nuo Nuo fruit, so can the rice cake that falls be eaten?"

"First of all... it's glutinous rice balls, not rice cakes." There is still a little bit of workmanship between these two things.Katakuri said a little helplessly, "Secondly, it won't fall off casually. Finally, although you can eat it, don't eat it."

"Why don't you eat it?"

"Because it's weird."

"Oh..." Youxiang puffed up her mouth, she still wanted to eat rice cakes... She wanted to eat them when she was mentioned.It’s already the third day of the journey from Germa Kingdom to Totland. These days Katakuri is calm and proud as usual, but if you keep talking to him, he will still answer a few words.

"Totland soon." The color of the water could almost be seen changing now.Katakuri changed the subject, "Are you ready to meet Mom?"

"Will Mr. Katakuri go with you?"

"I'll stay aside for now. But I can't help you."

"That's it." Youxiang was not very nervous, she said, "This is my natural talent, so I don't need to prepare anything, Mr. Katakuri. Everything is 'natural'. Even if you don't seek it, It’s still here, and there’s no way to get rid of it.”

"That sounds like a powerful force, don't you want it?"

"It's not power, Mr. Katakuri. It's a curse." Youxiang smiled wryly, and she said, "All magic has a price."

All magic has a price...does it?You may be right.

Unexpectedly, Katakuri could deeply understand the meaning of this sentence.He didn't ask any more questions, he wanted to say some comforting words but felt that it was ironic to say it from his own standpoint, so he couldn't say it in the end.

The ship slowly entered the territory of the Kingdom of Totland in the evening.Maybe there is some sensing device, just a short while, other ships approached.When the people on board saw Katakuri's figure, they all greeted at ease and then started escorting.

The boats approaching were shaped like cakes, and I don't know if it was an illusion. As soon as I entered Totland, I felt a sweet aroma of cakes floating in the air.Youxiang felt that if it wasn't because BigMom was scary, she might like Totland.

It took a while to get to BigMom's 'palace' and it was dark when we disembarked.Rossi was so anxious that he smoked a lot of cigarettes. Youxiang wanted to persuade him to smoke less, but he thought that he was already a ghost, so he had no good excuses and could only give up.

This palace is also in the shape of a cake... amazing.There is a sweet smell in the whole city, the streets are very lively at night, people of different races gather together to talk and laugh, life seems to be quite harmonious.People will get out of the way when they see Katakuri, but they are not very scared, and they will say hello to him more or less.It's more of awe than fear.

Katakuri would also respond once or twice, and Youxiang always felt that he was suppressing something. Perhaps this terrifying man with a bounty of more than 10 billion also had his own difficulties-but this is not important at all right now.The important thing is that BigMom is going to see himself now.

Youxiang was still a little nervous.Rosie was gone now, he would hide from himself when he smoked, maybe he was smoking again.Does that really relieve anxiety?

Still thinking about it, Youxiang followed Katakuri into the multi-layered cake-shaped building. The decoration inside was also dessert-style, and it looked like many people lived in the palace.After walking around for a long time, I finally came to a tall door. Unbelievably, there was a human face on this door? ?

"Master Katakuri~~ What a rare sight!" Moreover, the human face even spoke!

"Ah. I brought the person Mom wants to meet." Katakuri replied calmly, "How is Mom?"

"I can't wait any longer!" Human Face Gate said, "Is that the little girl behind you? It's just as surprising as in the description."

"..." Katakuri didn't say any more, just pushed the door open, and Youxiang almost couldn't recover from the incident of 'a door with a human face can talk', but fortunately Katakuri Li called her softly.She trotted to follow, and as soon as she entered, the door behind her closed automatically. It was a somewhat dark room, and there was only one person in it——

There is no doubt that this giant-like woman in a fan dress is BigMom.

The other party didn't speak immediately, but just looked down from above, You Xiang felt unprecedented fear.Yes, fear.She could feel a vibration deep in her soul, and she wasn't sure if it was her real fear, or some primal instinct from BigMom.

This kind of fear did not subside a little until Katakuri spoke: "Mom. This is the person the intelligence agent said. I brought her. Her name is Yuxiang. It's... from Doflamingo." .”

"Mama~Mama~" BigMom let out a special laugh, she sounded very happy, she leaned forward from her seat and stared at Youxiang, "What a cute child, that bird in Doflamingo The man's subordinates have done a lot of terrible things, right? Little girl?"

"..." No, no, no...he is not one-tenth as scary as you! !You Xiang opened and closed her mouth, and it took a long time before she could speak, "He, he treats me well..."

"Really..." BigMom changed the subject, her eyes dimmed, "Could it be that you came to me because you obeyed that man's order and wanted to take the opportunity to get something?"

"...My relationship with him is not that good yet." Calm down, calm down...you can...you can negotiate!calm!Youxiang hugged her arm, she forced herself not to tremble, not to be afraid, she tried her best to speak loudly, "I'm still a free fortune teller now. So I came here... just because of your invitation, BigMom .”

"Mama~Mama~~" BigMom laughed again, and she said, "Okay. Since it's Katakuri, I believe he should have watched you. Let's talk about the topic, little girl. Do you have that kind of ability, the ability to make people find 'things that no longer exist' in dreams?"

"That's right..." Youxiang replied.

"Is it okay for people who don't know where?"

"As long as there are still people who remember him, as long as there are still people who might dream of him, that's fine," Youxiang explained, "but...you need some objects related to this person as a medium."

"Is the photo okay?"

"Ah."

"I'm not going to tell you anything about her."

"I don't need to know." Youxiang has calmed down a little now. When she raised her head, she saw slightly transparent black feathers falling from the ceiling. She wasn't sure if other people had seen this, but when the feathers When she came down, she was less scared, "I'm just guiding you to a dream you want, and I don't need to be involved."

"Hmph..." Seemingly thinking about something, BigMom paused for a long time, and she said, "You are not hiding something, are you? Don't lie to me, I know, this kind of thing will cost more or less, if you If you don’t want anything, it becomes very suspicious.”

"The one who bears the price is me with this power. So—"

"I do not believe you!"

Suddenly, BigMom interrupted Youxiang, she became angry for some reason, her hair was flying up, her eyes turned red, her body was slowly 'spreading' like a mountain and then pressed against the whole room superior!This made Youxiang take two steps back in horror, then trembled uncontrollably...

"I didn't..." I didn't lie... Youxiang couldn't even make a sound, "I didn't lie! My price is..."

"You exude a familiar smell! Just like that 'demon'!!"

Eh... the devil... is, is that the devil that Katakuri-san said called himself 'fear'...?

"Let me ask you a question now!" BigMom showed a ferocious smile on his face, "Think about how you want to answer, and think about whether you still want to 'have ghosts'! Come on! TruthorLife——!"

"!!"

What, what? ! !Youxiang felt that something was about to be pulled away from her body. She seemed to hear Katakuri's voice, but she didn't seem to. Her eyes couldn't leave BigMom's body, and she couldn't even say the power of 'Truth' nothing!

What does life mean... It was terrible, there was a loud rumble in my ears, just like those voices, my body became cold, everything around me dimmed, my heart, my heart...

Youxiang clutched her chest, her heart — or the place where the heart should have been, felt a sharp pain!It seemed that something very, very important was about to be pulled away, just when You Xiang couldn't stand still in pain and was about to cry out——

"It's too much."

A gentle voice came, and a hand was placed on Youxiang's shoulder and supported her who was about to fall.

The pain in Youxiang's body disappeared immediately, and she felt her 'heartbeat' again. Although there was a little rush, she recovered, her body became relaxed, and she was not even very scared.The black mist wrapped around her, and even the voice in her ears became quieter.

"Who are you?" BigMom obviously didn't expect this kind of development, she looked at the person standing behind the black mist, "Why can-"

"My master didn't lie to you. You should believe her." Sombra, that is, Fino, was not affected by this aura at all, and he said calmly, "The strange thing you feel is that she has this kind of power The price to pay. It's like your... 'game'. If you want something, you have to give up something else... right?"

While speaking, Fino's black mist quickly spread towards BigMom, two invisible forces competed over the room, and finally the black mist swallowed everything!After all, when it comes to 'Life', the 'Reaper' is like a master.

"?!!"

BigMom felt a strong wind coming, she looked at Fino in shock, she had never encountered such a 'resistance', her own ability, this power, had never been resisted in such a tough form, this It's not about domineering, but about the disparity in 'ability'. In short, the 'magic level' of this thing is higher than that of 'Devil Fruit'.

"..." Fino didn't do anything more, he just showed a smile, "So, do you trust my master now?"

"...You have the ability to kill me. No. You have the ability to kill anyone." It seemed to calm down. BigMom rarely looked at the man in front of him with a serious expression, "If you want to do it, you can do it now."

"That's right. No matter who they are, as long as they are alive, they are 'worthless' to me. To bring them...to bring you to eternity is the meaning of my existence." Fino replied, "But... ...I am just a 'nightmare'. The one who needs to pay the price is my master. The price of bringing you eternity is too great, and I don't want her to be destroyed for this."

"Hmph... What a weak man. Just a little girl, can't you find a stronger master?"

"She is the most powerful master I have ever seen. Lingling." Fino said with a smile, "Not everyone has the ability to reverse death and change fate. Let a person 'die' It's very simple, but letting a person 'live' is something even I can't do. What's more...you don't have this talent, Lingling. No way."

"Then there is no other way..." BigMom (that is, Lingling) didn't know what to think, she smiled again and looked at Youxiang who had calmed down a little, "You are a dangerous little girl. By my brother’s side——wouldn’t it be possible to become Kaido’s subordinate one day? Isn’t that okay?”

Kai, Kaido...?

"I can't let you go, little girl."

"Huh, Huh?!" Wait a minute!When Youxiang heard this, she immediately said, "No...I have to go back to Dressrosa—"

"........."

very scary! !After meeting that cold and cruel gaze, Youxiang immediately grabbed Fino's sleeve before she could finish her sentence. She can't stay here, she can't...

"Are you thinking about your 'companions'? Mama~Mama~~ What a good boy~ Mom likes companions with deep feelings!" BigMom said suddenly, "Then let them come together! As long as they come, You don’t need to go back to that Dressrosa! Or are you caring about Doflamingo? It’s just a Shichibukai, he can’t even enter the gate of Totland!”

"I, I have a reason to personally... deal with Doflamingo myself!" There is no way, now we can only delay the attack, otherwise... Fino can't really fight her. Obviously, her Life is not worthless, if she wants to, she can kill herself in almost 1000 ways and can also do to Luffy and the others...

no.That does not work.

Youxiang calmed down, and she said, "I'll be back after this! Tot... Totland is a very good place, with a sweet smell, and it's also very lively... So it's okay to live here. It's just that before that, I need to go back to Dressrosa and work out what I haven't done."

"..." BigMom didn't speak immediately, she looked into Youxiang's eyes, as if she knew it was a lie, it was a tactic to delay the attack.However, in the face of absolute power, all strategies are useless.She doesn't care about that at all.So she said, "Okay. I promise you."

"Really, really?"

"But, why don't you just leave like this? If you're lying to me and then run away, it's 'unreasonable' for me to send someone after you, isn't it?" BigMom approached Youxiang, and she said, "Join my family will marry my children. Do the same with you."

"...Huh?" What?

"Marriage, marriage." BigMom explained, she said, "As long as you become my 'child', then this 'death' beside you is equivalent to 'my person', right?"

Seems to make sense...but...

Youxiang was stunned by such a simple and rude measure, she said: "But, but suddenly said that you want to get married or something..."

"Ma Ma~ Ma Ma~~ Marriage is a good thing! I have many sons, so I will give you a special case this time, and let you choose by yourself. Those who are not married, anyone can!" BigMom is quite generous, "and They won't refuse such a big event as a 'devil' marriage after hearing about it! Don't worry!"

This is not the problem at all. If possible, please reject them for me! !

Youxiang didn't dare to say the complaints, she could only complain in her heart.However, until now, it seems that there is no other way...

"For example, if I choose... can I go back to Dressrosa first?" At least I can't think of other ways.I'll talk about it later.All I can do is to get out of this mother's eyes alive!Youxiang was already broken, "Anyone can do it?!"

"Ah. For the wedding... oh, let's hold it together with Brin's!" BigMom seemed to have thought of a happy idea, "This way I can eat two wedding cakes~~It's so good~~Mommy ~Mama~~~"

Uhhhh...Prince...is the girl who is going to marry Sanji-san...In other words, it doesn't mean that she is going to get married right away, but that she is getting engaged first? !

"Okay, let's choose!" BigMom urged, "Determine it now!"

"I, that..." Let me choose!How do I know who your sons are! !Do you want to report the number out of thin air!please do not! !Anyway, let's go on a blind date first! !However, these complaints are fragrant and still dare not speak out.Forget it, forget it... Anyway, it’s a broken pot, so just pick someone you know, "Mr. Katakuri... right?"

"Ah?" Katakuri, who was suddenly named, was stunned. He looked over with an expression of extreme disbelief, as if saying: Don't do it, don't get me involved!

"Oh... Katakuri. Your vision is not bad!" BigMom looked quite happy, she said, "He is my strongest child! Mama~Mama~~The strongest son With the strongest alliance, isn’t that not bad! However, it’s better not to say anything about the devil…”

Same, do you agree? !Youxiang was very flustered, she felt Katakuri's fiery gaze, he must be scolding herself in his heart.I'm sorry Mr. Katakuri, but it's fake anyway.Just suffer for a while.Don't worry, I promise I won't really marry you.Matthew must have figured out a way.He had to come up with one! !

"Katakuri, do you have any comments?" BigMom asked.

"..." I have too many opinions! !But you will never listen! !Katakuri hesitated, and finally said, "Of course. Mom."

"Ma Ma~ Ma Ma~~ This is the best!" BigMom laughed happily, and she said, "Then we will talk about everything when you come back from Dressrosa, little girl. Until then, you You want to get married happily, and then—become my 'family'?"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Matthew: Don't leave all the thinking to me!You guys have used your brains from the very beginning! ! !

Ka Er, just stood aside and listened to his mother ha ha ha, and then a daughter-in-law fell from the sky, doubting life.

Fino: Arrogance, you are now the third party.

Shipp: Obviously I came first? !
