[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 231 The Promise You Want

The cat viper boss is a very big cat! !It's a cat!And it can sing meow meow meow, and the one who laughs is like... like the cat named 'Cheshire Cat' in a story Matthew told before!In short, he is super cute, and Youxiang likes him very much.

However, most of the time spent together was spent on checking his wounds with Chopper and Matthew, while his own cat completely disobeyed the doctor's orders and only cared about eating, drinking, having fun and even soaking in hot springs, which resulted in a game between the doctor and the disobedient patient.As for Zed...

"Yes...it's a cat...it's a big one..."

He has been hiding behind Youxiang with his hair frizzed all the time, muttering in his mouth: "It's even bigger than Pupu... Evil! It's just... an evil beast or something like that?!"

Is that an exaggeration, Zed? !Youxiang said, "Well, why is Zed afraid of cats? The cat viper boss is not an enemy?"

"Can't Master feel it?! That evil smell! It's the incarnation of evil, so it's not a cute little animal!!"

Could it be because of the instinctive struggle between cats and dogs... Youxiang didn't know how to complain, so she could only touch the top of Zed's head.At the moment, the cat viper is also quiet, it seems that it is because the people of the night will fall asleep on time once it is morning... So it is also night when it arrives at Zou.

First healed the injured fur family, and then went to various places to understand the situation. I also heard about Mr. Sanji and thought about the next plan. I also have to guard against signs of BigMom chasing again at any time. I have no time to rest...

Youxiang yawned, although Luffy started clamoring about having a banquet again, but Youxiang didn't have the energy to continue making trouble.

"Tired? Miss Youxiang?"

"Ah, boss..."

Mr. Kagawa seemed to see Youxiang's sleepiness, he smiled and said: "I don't think there should be anything important now. It's okay if you take a rest."

"Hmm..." Youxiang rubbed her eyes, she nodded and said, "Boss...can you take care of everyone for me? Although Matthew looks reliable, sometimes he gets too excited and explodes something."

"Haha... don't worry. I'll make sure no one blows it up." As Kagawa said, he stretched out his hand to Youxiang, "Come on, I'll help you find a place to rest. You fur tribes should be willing to help. "

"But everyone..."

"I will help you tell other people, okay? Please don't worry. You always worry about too many things by yourself. It's okay, you can relax a little bit and you'll be fine." Kagawa tilted his head slightly, he said , "I understand this exhaustion. So if you still trust me, put this burden on me for a while."

"Boss, that..." It's so beautiful! !This guy!What handsome words are you talking to yourself with this handsome face!foul! !Youxiang even got a little more energetic, she said, "Thank you..."

"You can call me Shimokagawa. The relationship between us should... have already surpassed the boss and employees, and become partners, right?"

"But Kagawa-san still pays me~"

"Of course. Because you've been doing a great job."

As soon as Xiangchuan finished speaking, she saw Youxiang raised her hands with embarrassment and pulled the brim of the hat she was wearing.This hat belongs to Ace, and wearing it on Youxiang's head is like declaring sovereignty, which makes people think of him.

"Need I call Mr. Ace for you?"

"No, no need..." He is better here with everyone.How much can you watch Matthew and Luffy stay out of trouble.Youxiang said, "I can sleep alone, Mr. Kagawa!"

"It's okay to accompany you next time."

"Handsome guy can't make people angry when he says such things..."

"Haha! Thank you for your love, Miss Youxiang. But don't let your guard down—wow! It's so hot!" Appeared!The knight beside the princess!Xiangchuan suddenly felt that he was going to be burned, he immediately moved away from Youxiang, turned to Ace and said, "You are here, Mr. Ace!!"

"After all, we can't relax our vigilance against you?" You bastard... you are so blatantly thinking about our little rabbit! !Ace had an expression of 'I'll make you disappear if you don't disappear', and he said, "Mr. Mansfield...what the hell are you here for?"

"...I'm here to help Ms. Yuka, Mr. Ace." Having said that, Kagawa's expression became serious, and he said, "It is impossible to escape from Mr. Katakuri easily. I hope no matter what happens in the end Whatever happens, it can become a back-up insurance to help everyone.”

"After all, why are you helping us?"

"Well... I have also talked to Mr. Sabo. Because I want to maintain a balance. And everyone is obviously an important bargaining chip on this balance... I just choose the side I like and help." Kagawa said , "I admit that there is a purpose here... but at the same time, I can also ensure that this purpose does not conflict with everyone's wishes."

Trouble is dead... talking to this man is exhausting.Ace didn't say anything, he walked up to Youxiang and took her hand: "I don't understand other things, Mansfield. But you'd better not lie to her, understand?"

"I won't do that. Please believe me too?"

"Temporary. Trust you for the time being." After all, it is not wise to make enemies now.I also understand this.Ace said, "I will take care of Youxiang, why don't you take care of Luffy for me?"

"I don't think Mr. Luffy needs to—"

"Just let you go."

"Are you chasing me?"

"That's right, let's go."

It's finally gone!How reluctant you are, you bastard! !Ace watched the guy leave, and when he turned his head, he found that Youxiang had already fallen asleep on his own.

"Do you want to carry you?"

"Yeah." Youxiang puffed out her mouth and nodded aggrievedly, "Ace...I don't want to be separated from everyone..."

"I know. Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"........."

"Is it fragrant?" Hey... just fell asleep like this.Ace picked up Youxiang and planned to ask Wanda to borrow a bed or something.Just as he was about to leave, Luo stopped him: "Do you want to tell me to recite it to you?"

"If you want to recite it to me, I have no objection at all. But I'm not for this." Luo replied, "I have a plan about BigMom, let me tell you about it later."

"Ah. I see." Ace responded, and he said, "Ro... thank you all these years. I haven't thanked you yet, have I?"

"Don't make it look like life and death." Luo frowned, and he said, "I had my own purpose in saving you. Ace is in charge. However, you are not an annoying guy, and I agree with that."

"Ha... If you didn't propose to Youxiang every once in a while, I wouldn't think you're such an annoying guy."

"Even if you say so, I will continue to propose."

"If no one will agree, give it up quickly, Telaan!"

She slept so well... When Youxiang opened her eyes, she was sure it was already afternoon.The last memory is what Ace and Mr. Luo seem to be talking about.But I was too sleepy and couldn't hear their conversation at all.It seems that he didn't sleep for a long time, he didn't dream, and Youxiang didn't have any concept of time.

When she woke up, Ace was sitting on the edge of the bed, still holding his hand, a little embarrassed, Youxiang sat up and said, "Morning...good morning, Ace~"

"Well. Good morning, you are fragrant." I am so happy, I can still hear this good morning.You know how not too long ago... how I looked forward to saying good morning every day, every day?I want to hear you tell me, I want you to open your eyes...I...ah, it's meaningless to think about the past now, it just increases worry.Ace smiled, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah!" Youxiang laughed when he saw him smile, "Is Ace always by my side?"

"Yeah. If you don't like you, you won't be able to wake up from sleep." I have to be by your side all the time.Ace said, "And wouldn't it be bad if you weren't alone?"

"..." Ah yes, when I was alone before... I would hear voices and see figures.But these disappeared after the top battle.After all, there is Rossi, and the main body of the figure, Fino, will not appear like that again.Youxiang reacted, she did not explain with a little selfishness, but said: "Then Ace will definitely not leave me alone, and then..."

"You can find me no matter where I am, right?"

"Of course! When do you think I haven't found you? Who fished you out when you were hiding in a tree hole and couldn't get out?"

"It's Sabo."

"It's me!! Although Sabo is also helping... But it's mainly me! Think about it carefully, you are fragrant!" Why do you only remember Sabo!Ace squeezed Youxiang's face in dissatisfaction, "Remember now~~ It's me, Youxiang! It's always been me!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~But sometimes it's also Sabo!"

"It must be me who has more times! So...don't be afraid of that kind of thing, Youxiang. No matter where you run away, I...and Sabo will find you. Are you so relieved?"

"En." Youxiang puffed her face, and she hummed, "Then, give me Ace's hat!"

If you like this hat so much, you can wear it all the time.Ace sighed, and put his hat on Youxiang's head: "Okay, let's go to the others when we wake up."

"What are you all doing?"

"Hold a banquet?" It should be doing this.Ace said, "But there should be nothing left now... Let's get ready to go to Wano Country."

So anxious, I still want to stay in Zou for a while!After all, there are so many furry ones here~~ Youxiang thought silently in her heart, she got out of bed by herself, stood beside Ace and looked up at him: "Ace."

"Ok?"

"...Karuqiu~"

"Haha...what's the matter? What did you say suddenly..." Ace couldn't hold back his laughter, he said, "Did Matthew tell you what this sentence means?"

"Yeah. Tell me." That's why I secretly told you... Youxiang said, "Ace won't leave me, right?"

"Ah, absolutely not. So... Youxiang. Are you afraid?" You have emphasized this sentence many times... Ace said, "Don't be afraid. I will never leave you, no matter where you are I will go to you, and without you I will do nothing until I find you. I promise you. Okay? Don't be afraid."

Don't show this... as if you are leaving me.Ace turned around and held her face again, resisting the urge to kiss her, just moved closer and said, "Smile at me, Youxiang. Smile. Just a moment."

Youxiang didn't make a sound, but smiled, and then she was hugged tightly.She also hugged the man who was obviously also scared, and said, "Aren't you going to everyone's place, Ace?"

"Wait a little longer. Let me hide Yuka's smiling face for a while... okay?"

Alright~ I'll let you hide for a while.I'm sorry, I asked you so many promises, but I can't promise you too.Because... I seem to have to go to Totland, I seem to have to make a choice, and no matter what, I can't choose to ruin your future.

That's why, that's why... so you willfully let me promise you.Even if I run away secretly, you will definitely come to me, and you will definitely make me have 'no choice'.I want that commitment.

It doesn't matter if it can't be achieved, I want it.

"We have to go."

"Then Ace lifts his head out of my hair first, shall we?"

"No, it smells so good... Another 5 minutes—"

"Okay, Ace is the head of the house." At this time, the door was suddenly opened, and Luo appeared at the door with a blank face and said, "Let's go if something serious happens."

"Damn it Luo!! Get out of here!!"

"No. Unless Xiang Xiang gives me a hug."

"Don't think about it!!"

The author has something to say:

I wanted to advance the plot, but I accidentally fell in love again.

Ace: Luo What big deal did you just say?

Luo: It's nothing, I just tricked you into letting go.
