[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 266

Returning to Katakuri's home, there is no one else here.On the way back, there were screams from the direction of the shrine, but Katakuri ignored them all, and Yuka didn't have a chance to say anything.

The house was very dark. After all, it was late at night, and Katakuri didn't intend to turn on the lights at all. He closed the door and went straight in. Then he put the incense in his arms on a cabinet of the right height for her to sit on. , and then looked at her through the darkness with a little moonlight shining in from the window——

"..." Hair, why did it become this color?His complexion is so bad, what are these black things on his body... I have only been away for less than a day.Am I really going to have you in my sight all the time?Although it's not... an unpleasant thing.but……

Katakuri didn't say anything, he hugged Youxiang and buried his head in her arms: "What do I want...you to stay by my side? Youxiang...is really an exhausting people..."

"Mr. Katakuri...?"

"..." I almost couldn't hold it back, almost toppled the whole island, I, with the power to defeat almost anyone, was almost defeated by a kitten like you in the end.I lost, Youxiang, I was defeated by you.If you say to me now - if only by implication - if you say to me now:

Let's beat BigMom together.

I might just go for it.I'll really think about it, and I might even listen to your plans.I, Charlotte Katakuri, can no longer be Totland's standing hero.I now have a fatal weakness, so fatal that it cannot be concealed, cannot be whitewashed, and there is no excuse or reason. It is a fatal weakness that a hero and the strongest person should not have.

"Tell me everything, Youxiang."

However, I do not intend to discard this weakness.Before what happened to Bree, I wanted to be a happy human being.I did... I did have fun before that.But then I realized that in Totland, no, maybe, in this world, it was impossible to be completely independent.Or rather, it's impossible for me.

Because I still care after all, I still have feelings after all.I wanted to protect Bree, and I was angry and remorseful that I hadn't, and that she had been hurt because of me.So I choose to be a person without emotion, I choose to be a 'golem'.Just standing there will make people fearful, so that people will shrink back from the 'guard' of this golem, and will not hurt the people I love.

However, I have never discovered that this method is the same as my mother's method.All it can create is fear.I tried to create a safe haven for my brothers and sisters in this place of fear, but in the end I only increased the fear in vain.

And this weakness, this weakness brought about by you, is fragrant.Reminds me of what I felt a long time ago, before Bree was hurt.It is a kind of relaxation and calmness that a living human being should have.It tells me that I'm still alive, that I haven't lost the abilities I should have as a human being, that I'm still...

I still have a chance to be someone who... is not a hero and doesn't need to be.

So I don't intend to abandon it, nor do I want to cover it up and escape from it.I want to accept, I want to make it a part of me without reservation.I want to be Charlotte Katakuri, not 'Charlotte's strongest man'.

"Start from the beginning, Yuka. What happened to make you like this?" Although Katakuri was talking, he didn't look up.Youxiang has a good smell on her body, and...and it feels very comfortable to be touched by her hair lightly, "You can't put me off by saying that you just went out and dyed your hair."

"That..." No, I can't help it... Youxiang is a little embarrassed now, but it seems... It seems that many people like to be hugged like this.Matthew calls this: [-] Volts Ultimate Charge Mode.Don't know what he's talking about.Forget it, since Katakuri has already asked this question, let me say it myself

Youxiang recounted what she experienced that night.During this period, Katakuri didn't say a word, just tightened his arms holding her several times.

"That's all, Mr. Katakuri. I was going to find Phoebe before I met you." Katakuri had almost finished speaking, but Katakuri still didn't look up.If this is really the ultimate charging mode, how low is his battery?

"I understand." Katakuri replied, and then fell silent again. After a while, he raised his head, picked up fragrant pure white hair, touched her face and said, "Yes Xiang, I ask you. Even if you have become what you are now, even if you have become a disaster itself, even if there will be constant troubles around you, you are destined not to have a stable life..."

"Those people you are waiting for, will they always be by your side? Do you believe that they can accept all this and will not leave you?"

If, if this is the case in the past, I may not have the confidence to answer this question.But now, for some reason, there is a wave of confidence and belief in my heart, which allows me to calm down to think and feel.Ace, Sabo, Luffy...and everyone...

Although I didn't want to cause trouble for them, but never once, since they were young, they never left themselves because of their unchosen fate.They have accepted it a long time ago, rather, they have long known it.

It may be because there are some similarities, because everyone is displaced in this sea.The place where you can move forward with peace of mind, that safe haven, is on that small boat, being with other similar people, supporting each other, and generating warmth for each other.

Everyone believes in themselves.So, trust them yourself.

Yuka said, "Yes. I trust them, Mr. Katakuri."

"Really." I don't know if I'm expecting you to hesitate.I kind of want you to ask me for help.But you don't seem like that.That's right, if you are, you shouldn't be so different.Katakuri said, "They will definitely come, right? On the wedding day, they will come here, right?"

"Ok!"

"..." He smiled so happily.I may not be able to make you smile like that.So, so... Katakuri said, "Then wait until then, Yuxiang. If you are wrong, I will help you too. Of course, if you are wrong, then don't look back and leave here. Mom also Well, don't think about anything else. If you want to get out of here, get out. Understand?"

"Mr. Katakuri... How can I... thank you?"

"Why should you thank me?"

"Because... isn't Mr. Katakuri protecting me during this time?"

"But you're still like this."

"It's not Mr. Katakuri's fault. And...it's all right now! Many people are helping me...I'm working hard myself, so even this kind of difficulty has passed." Youxiang smiled , she said, "As long as you are with everyone, you don't have to be afraid of anything... I think so!"

"Does everyone include me?"

"of course!"

"……Really. I'm very happy." Thank you for saying that.It was the first time I was integrated into such a group.Not constrained by fear, nor bound by blood, just a group of strangers, simply trusting each other because of deep sympathy, this simple relationship without any burden, I have never...

"Mr. Katakuri." Youxiang also raised her hand to gently hold his face, she doesn't need to cover her face now, she said, "Although... I don't know what to do. But I also believe that, One day, Totland will definitely have the ending it deserves. Because Mr. Katakuri is here, no matter what happens, it will definitely not get out of control."

"Even a mother..."

"Well. Even BigMom, there are things that cannot be shaken. Even if it is her, there are things that cannot be changed. People in this world will not give in easily. People will live and find their own happiness, Sihuang Be it One Piece or One Piece, no one can stop them."

So what if... what if I have found my own happiness?If I'm looking at her now, and I can only watch her leave in the end, then I should...how should I...

"Mr. Katakuri can definitely do it too!" Youxiang smiled happily at this time, "I can definitely find the treasure chest containing my own happiness... Someone once gave me the key to open my treasure chest. I think this key, Maybe someone else needs to give it. After all, people can’t live alone. So, I also give such a key to Mr. Katakuri!"

"key……?"

what key?Before Katakuri understood Yuka's words, she sat up slightly, cupped her face and kissed her forehead.Then he showed a bright smile: "This is Yuxiang's magic! In this way, Mr. Katakuri doesn't have to worry about anything!"

"..." What the hell are you doing...Suddenly, just...Katakuri didn't expect this at all, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Is this a special benefit for my fiancé?"

"Of course! Ordinary people can't easily obtain fragrant magic!"

"Haha... Really. I'm very happy then. But specifically, what does this magic do?"

"It's okay to make Mr. Katakuri less perfect!" Youxiang said with her hips akimbo proudly. It doesn't matter if you don't want to do anything... because Katakuri-san has Arika's magic! So all of these become irrelevant!"

"This is really powerful magic."

"Of course! Youxiang is a very good fortune teller! I have a license—ah, the license is gone." It seems that it was revoked again when I was in Dressrosa... Youxiang said, "Although I don't License! But I’m the real deal! Mr. Katakuri just trust me!”

"Hahahaha..." What the hell...this kind of...this kind of child's play, magic or something...how could I...how could it make me so happy?But I'm so happy, I suddenly relaxed, as if I've stepped into a safe haven, into the safest area, even if I relax, it doesn't matter.Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore.

It's really useful, this magic.
