[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 265 The Seeds Planted

It hasn't come out yet, Youxiang...it's already late at night, isn't it?have no idea.I can't feel anything in this cave, and Iji doesn't want to go out to have a look, what if there is incense coming out when he leaves?She will... be sad, be afraid.Although I can't understand that feeling, I don't know what it is, but... But Youxiang shouldn't laugh.

She... She has a beautiful smile.

Ahhh, damn it.What the hell are you thinking.

Yizhi came back to his senses, he was a little irritable.He felt that some of his emotions he couldn't feel had been replaced by his body with those he could feel.Such as anger, anxiety and so on.Anyway, just unhappy, unhappy.

It's too slow! It's fragrant!still alive?If you never come out, what am I going to—huh?

Still thinking about the worst outcome, Iji heard something.Behind the rock wall of the cave opposite, it seemed that someone was walking.After getting closer, there was only a buzzing sound, and a purple beam of light pierced out from the other side of the wall!Then the beam of light began to move on the rock wall, the rock wall was burnt through by the beam of light, it became scorched black and green smoke came out, and the outline of a 'door' was burned out in a short while!

Yizhi took a few steps back vigilantly, and then the 'door' was kicked open with a bang, and a man wearing...a tattered leather armor came out from behind.He was tall, with short silver hair, dark skin, a cold expression, and purple eyes.If you look closely, you can see a little flash tattoo protruding from the collar, which seems to be... like a circuit.

When the man saw Yi Zhi, he was also very vigilant and didn't come out immediately, but paused before moving forward.The slight sound of his boots hitting the thin layer of water on the ground was drowned out by the hum of the lightsaber he held in his hand.Just when Yiji was about to ask who this person was, Youxiang popped up from behind him——

"Mr. Iji!!"

"Scent!"

Very good!You're back... I, I, this is... what kind of feelings do you have?I have no idea.But there was a dull pain in my chest, which spread to my whole body the moment I saw you, making all the muscles in my limbs feel sore.what is this?Can you tell me?Am I sick?I shouldn't be sick...so...

"Mr. Iji, Mr. Iji! Look! I did it!" However, Yuxiang didn't notice Iji's thoughts. After all, he is also very good at keeping an expressionless face.Youxiang pushed the man just now to Iji and said, "This is Duck! Isn't it super cool? He's my mother... no. He's my lightsaber!!"

"What, what lightsaber?" Yizhi came back to his senses, and he found that he couldn't understand Youxiang's words.

"This is it!" Youxiang took the lightsaber from Duck's hand.Now the blade has receded, leaving only the hilt.Compared to before, the hilt of the lightsaber has become almost twice as long, more like a... special weapon than the hilt.Youxiang raised the lightsaber and held it in front of Yiji, with little stars in his eyes and said:

"Look! I installed it myself! Although it was a bit difficult, I did it! And then~~ It's okay!"

As you spoke, you raised your other hand, grabbed the other side of the hilt, and turned the two hands slightly in opposite directions, and the hilt split into two from the middle!There are more little stars in Youxiang's eyes: "It's double swords!! Although the crystal was divided into two halves, it just happened to get a similar hilt! It made two!! Isn't it super? Awesome Iji-san!!"

"..." What the hell are you talking about...I'm all...I...Iji almost didn't listen to it, he just looked into Youxiang's eyes, looked at her hair that had become too pure white, Looking at her slightly stained cheeks, an unprecedented feeling surged up, causing him to hug Youxiang fiercely without saying anything.

"Mr. Iji...?"

"I don't know. I don't know what this is..." It's so uncomfortable, worse than being injured, worse than being pierced by a bullet, worse than anything else.My heart is beating so fast, my muscles have become weak, I don’t want to hear anything, I don’t want to think about anything, I just want to be close, I just want to touch you, I just want to make sure you are within my reach, "This What is this feeling? Is it fragrant?"

"Hmm... I think I should. I'm worried, right? I made you worry, Mr. Iji. I'm sorry." Youxiang patted him on the back lightly and said, "I'm fine! Ah, I mean...a little It's better. Although I still can't feel Rossi and the others, and I can still hear a little voice, but I think it's better now!"

"How can I make it stop?" No, it can't stop.Why can't I control it...why...Iji tightened his arms, he said, "How do I make it...disappear?"

"..." So worried about me.I'm sorry, Mr. Iji.Am I a little willful?Recently, I have always been willful towards you and everyone.But now, I'm fine, I think... must be fine.Youxiang moved her hand up, patted his head and said, "Just take a deep breath, Mr. Iji. Take a deep breath~~ and tell me~ Youxiang is alright now?"

"Youxiang is fine."

"Ah."

"You Xiang already..." It's all right now.Ahh... not getting better at all!Isn't this completely useless! !Do you have to say it many more times?Is this a spell?Is everyone else like this?Iji was a little impatient, he said, "Are you far from being fine?"

"Mr. Iji..."

"...For the prince, are these things good or bad?"

"I think it's a good thing for Iji-san. One day... Iji-san will start worrying about other people too. At that time—"

"I don't need it. I don't want to 'worry' about other people. Youxiang. Germa doesn't need a prince like that." Iji said with certainty, he said, "You really are Germa's enemy. A deadly enemy. It's like the relationship between Sea Warrior Sky and the Legion of Evil."

"Is Mr. Iji going to beat me then?"

"I may have to surrender, little girl... But, since you still owe me a lot of money, I have the upper hand right now?"

"Hey~~~ I still remember this! Mr. Iji~~ Forget about it!"

"You only paid about 160 Baileys and you plan not to pay it back?"

"Can that be charged to BigMom's account?"

"You really know how to renege on your debt!" Ah!Is it because of the diversion of attention?It seems to be slightly better.Yiji calmed down for a moment, he let go of Youxiang and said, "Forget about the lightsaber you just mentioned. The key is, who is this man?? Where did you pick it up?"

"I didn't pick it up!" Youxiang returned to Dak's side, she raised the lightsaber and said, "Dak is the lightsaber."

"what?"

"This is it." Youxiang waved the lightsaber, she said, "This is the main body. I have a friend... He has the ability to turn these things into humans."

"...Where did you meet these strange friends?"

"I knew each other before I knew it." What a coincidence!Youxiang said, "Anyway! Thanks to Takumi! Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to use a sword myself. Isn't it a pity that no one uses this because it's so powerful?"

"That's what it says." But it's too outrageous!How did you bring the big one into life? ?What ability?Devil Fruit? ?No way!Devil fruit is not so outrageous!Iji sighed in his heart, but there are other important things here, if Dak is not the enemy, let's let it go first.He said, "Never mind that, girl, what are you going to do next?"

"This...although I really want to find Rossi and the others quickly..." After all, the voice will definitely get louder and louder once they leave this cave.Youxiang said, "But after all, it's a place like Totland now... um... why don't you go to Phoebe first?"

--this late!

After Katakuri stood on the port of Bolifan Town, he had a strong bad feeling.It's already late at night, that kid Chris should be taking good care of Youxiang!Does she still have a fever?Will it burn again at night?Are there still those voices that I can't hear?You should tell Dr. Chris the contact information, he should know how to take care of people, right? ? ?

These problems became the motivation for Katakuri to return home quickly in the next second.He didn't meet anyone along the way, and there were no obstacles, but when he returned to the door of his house, he found that there was no light inside, and his heart sank.But on second thought, maybe Chris was asleep too.However, all the excuses lost their effectiveness when he found that the door of the house was not closed at all but was concealed——

"Scent???!"

He rushed into Youxiang's room, and there was no one!There is no one here!But what are these black things on the ground?Magic circle...?Why is the fireplace lit when the windows are open? ?Bear is still on the bed, but Ace's hat is not.Was it taken away by Youxiang?She's getting better? ?But it's so late and still not coming back?

Chris is not there, and if you look carefully, it seems that many people have been in this room, and there are many footprints and stains on the ground besides those black marks.Who the hell came to my house casually... don't let me catch you!

Youxiang... where did you go?

Katakuri stood there thinking for a moment, then he saw the open window.He went to the window, and without knowing what prompted him, he jumped out of the window and into the street.The pale moonlight shone on the gravel road in the street, and Katakuri felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, which made him irritable and angry.Just as he was thinking about calling all the soldiers to find someone, he felt someone approaching behind him——

"Yeah! Brother Katakuri! It's me!"

"........."

Flampe.Katakuri saw the person behind him, and put away the weapon he almost attacked.He said: "What are you doing here, Flampe?"

"That..." The girl named Flampe is one of BigMom's daughters.She is Katakuri's younger sister.She looked at Katakuri longingly and said, "You're back so soon, Big Brother Katakuri!"

Because Katakuri has too many younger sisters, and there are too many other brothers and sisters between him and Flampe, so in fact Katakuri and her are not very familiar.It's almost the same level of familiarity with Brin.It's just... In Charlotte's family, there is no one who does not yearn for the strongest second brother.

"...What are you doing here, Flampe?" Katakuri asked his question again.

"Just, just... just finished a mission!" Seeing that she failed to change the subject, Flampe said a little nervously, "Just like Brother Katakuri, he was sent out suddenly by his mother!"

"Really." Then why are you on my island?Katakuri remembered the blowgun that Rossi had given him before, thinking about the relationship between brother and sister, thinking that if nothing happens in the future, let's forget it first.But now... Katakuri said, "Flampe. Where is Yuka?"

"!" Unexpectedly, Katakuri would ask directly, Flampe was stunned for a moment, and she said, "How would I know where my brother's fiancée is... Did she escape?"

"She won't run away, Flampe," Katakuri said emphatically, "Do you know what Mom is planning?"

"This, how could I... Isn't Mom most concerned about the wedding in a few days' time?" Flampei didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she always felt that the elder brother in front of her was not as 'gentle' as usual.Although his tone and actions were the same, there was a frightening deterrent in his aura.

"Flampe." You have to tell me the truth at a time like this.Katakuri seemed to be forcing himself to calm down as he asked his all-important question once again, "Where is Yuka?"

"Brother Katakuri... do you care about that woman so much?!" Flampe also became angry, and she raised her voice a little and said, "Didn't she choose Brother Katakuri on her own to give you a sweetheart?" Did it cause so much trouble?! Although this is what mother meant, but in the end it is her fault! Brother Katakuri also thinks it is very annoying! Isn't it just right now?!"

"So, you still know where she is, right?"

"So why do you care about her so much!! Brother Katakuri doesn't need a fiancee at all, does he!?"

"..." Because she is different from you.Unlike everyone in this Totland.Although, it's not that I'm tired of being the strongest member of Charlotte's family, and it's not that I want to give up protecting the name of Superman, but... But, even if I'm a hero, even if I'm a Superman, I still want to have A place to take a break?

I just...just found someone who could understand that.It's just that I found someone who can accept my 'imperfect' me.

"Tell me where she is, Flampe."

"...I don't know either! I thought she wouldn't move anymore, but she disappeared not long ago!"

Can't move?What do you mean by not being able to move... What did you guys do to her—

Before Katakuri could ask the next question, suddenly there was a piercing scream from a distance!Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be the sound of someone screaming and a monster-like roar? ?Then there was the sound of buildings collapsing!That direction is... the shrine?

Chris...?Katakuri was about to go over there immediately to have a look, when a scream came from the street not far away!

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-?!!!"

"Youxiang!!? What's wrong?! Hey! Cheer up!! Youxiang!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! !The body seems to be torn apart!It seems to be pulled violently by something!The surrounding air squeezed as if being pushed!Something got into my body from the skin!Youxiang hugged her head in pain, she couldn't stand at all, if Yiji hadn't caught her in time, she would have fallen to the ground!

The sharp pain lasted for a few seconds, and then slowly dissipated.Unbelievably, Youxiang felt the voice in her ears become smaller.Black patterns appeared on her fair skin, like the sun's rays and falling raindrops. Similar shapes were arranged and combined all over her arms and chest.

"Youxiang? This is..." Seeing that Youxiang calmed down, Yiji held Youxiang's hand and looked at the patterns on her body, "Does it still hurt?"

"..." Youxiang took a breath, she shook her head, and Yiji wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.Because now even her hair has become pure white, under the white moonlight, she looks colorless at all, a little pitiful.

"Hey...you're such a troublesome little girl." Just now, I'm still worried.And am I panicking?These incomprehensible feelings really appeared one after another, and I didn't even have time to digest them.Iji said, "What was that just now?"

"I don't know...but..." It seemed to be felt.Felt the presence of Frey and Rosie.It hurts, but it feels like 'everything is back'.Before Youxiang finished speaking, she heard footsteps nearby, and: "Youxiang?!!"

"Ka, Katakuri-san—"

"Shh."

Don't talk, don't stand up.Now... I can still help you.Katakuri came to Yuka and Iji at the fastest speed, he bent down to block them, and then said softly: "Don't talk, Yuka. Germa, you should get out of here."

"Are you kidding..." I did all the hard work!You just came back now and dare to point fingers at me? !Iji was furious, but Katakuri interrupted him just as he was about to say something: "Mother's people are nearby. Do you understand what I mean?"

"..." Damn it!You escaped!Yizhi calmed down, and he also said softly, "You come back at a really good time, Charlotte's family!"

"We'll talk about the situation later." Katakuri didn't care about Iji's attitude, "In short, you have to get out of here."

"I see." You just want to drive me away!Yiji replied, he looked at Youxiang and said, "Can I go now?" After all, that lightsaber just said something to do and left.I'm leaving again, aren't you alone again?

"Well... I, I also think Mr. Iji's current situation is very dangerous... Let's go back quickly!" What should I do if I'm found out!Youxiang said, "Thank you, Mr. Iji. Thank you Mr. Niji and Mr. Kagawa for me too... Let's talk about that and others later, okay?"

"Ah." You said it's okay and it's fine.Yiji nodded, he wanted to leave immediately, but in the end he couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe the stains on Youxiang's face, and even brushed her hair, "Don't make yourself worse Got it, you know?"

"Does it look bad now?" Youxiang thinks it's okay if the color of her hair has changed...

"It's not good if you don't smile. But...forget it. I should go." There are still many things I want to say to you, but maybe, our position makes us doomed from the beginning finish talking.Iji withdrew his hand, he glanced at Katakuri, then quickly left without staying and disappeared into the night.

If he's alone, he shouldn't have to worry about it.Youxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and was hugged by Katakuri: "Well, Mr. Katakuri, I..."

"Hush..." Katakuri didn't say anything, and he told Youxiang not to say anything.Although Youxiang was a little nervous, she didn't feel any fear.Unbelievably, those voices all disappeared at this time.I don't know if it's because Rossi is secretly protecting himself, or because Katakuri has the power to shun even a demon...

No matter what, Youxiang knew that this crisis was over.
