[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 267 The Function of the Wall Is the Same

"I see. What Mr. Katakuri means is that nothing happened until the day of the wedding, right?"

At this moment, Katakuri also calmed down, and he told Yuxiang about his future plans.In short, she can't be allowed to stay in Totland and be at the mercy of others. If Ace and the others don't come on the wedding day, he will take action.

Katakuri said, "Ah, that's right. Over at the shrine... I don't know what happened. But without them, Mom has nothing to do with you. Even she will take safe action."

"Is it the other way to force BigMom not to act rashly..." Youxiang said, "I know... I really can't think of a better way. But if this is the case... won't it affect Mr. Katakuri? ?”

"Don't worry about me, Youxiang." Katakuri is sitting on the sofa at the moment, he let Youxiang sit on his lap, he wants to let Youxiang get closer to him, at first Youxiang was a little embarrassed , but now she is already shaking her legs.

"Can Katakuri-san release water?"

"That depends on whether those boys are enlightened enough to let me release the water." I will not let them go back easily.If I can't even overcome enemies like me who can release water, I can't agree that they can protect you.Katakuri didn't say that, but said, "Are they strong?"

"Hmm! Ace—ah...Alan! Very strong!"

"It's Ace. I already know."

"That, that... I didn't deliberately hide it from Mr. Katakuri... After all, it would be troublesome if it was known that Ace was still alive..."

"Of course it's troublesome. The navy will chase him like crazy. There will be more people with ulterior motives chasing him. You two are exactly the same in this respect." It's all cursed fate... That's why Will they be attracted to each other?Katakuri thought so, and he glanced at Arika's big eyes.Ah...he doesn't know how Youxiang was attracted, but he understands that fellow Ace's feelings very well now.

He said: "How did you do it? In the battle on the top, almost everyone saw that the general at that time, Sakaski, pierced Portkas' heart... that kind of injury is incurable. OK?"

"Well... the heart has been burned by the magma. But..." Youxiang covered her heart with her hand, she smiled and said, "So I gave the heart to Ace. He survived!"

"…………what?"

"Although it's unbelievable... but demons have such magic. As long as they pay a price in exchange, they can do anything." Youxiang smiled bitterly, and she said, "I have no heart now, Mr. Katakuri. Because he gave it to Ace."

"No, no heart...but then why do you..."

"Hmm~~ I'm not very clear about the specifics. I have almost no memory after that." Youxiang thought for a while, and she said, "Waking up is now two years after the top battle. Actually, I just woke up It didn't take long! During that time, what did everyone do for me... Even if I asked, they always smiled and told me not to care. But Matthew said, everyone gave me their 'heart'!"

"..." I gave my heart to you...?what does that mean?Katakuri doesn't quite understand, it's amazing that he doesn't have a heart.But... Just now, when I put my head close to it, I did hear a sound like a heartbeat... So what is it?

"It's weird, right? It's clear that there is no heart, but there is still a heartbeat... I asked them all~~ they didn't tell me well." They changed the subject in various ways.You Xiang said, "But I know that everyone must hope that I can survive. So I won't leave everyone to die or something... I don't want to disappoint everyone's expectations."

If I knew how to do it, I would also like... I would share my heart with you too.If it means being able to save you and see your smiling face again, then I will absolutely do it.

Thinking this way, Katakuri suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Yuka's hand without knowing why.Compared with his, Youxiang's hands are really too small, but even through the gloves, she can feel the coolness of her little hands.

"…………?"What's wrong?Want to hold hands?Youxiang didn't notice the change in Katakuri's mentality at all, she tilted her head slightly, and before she had time to ask anything, suddenly, someone appeared from the other side out of thin air and rushed over! !

"Master—people—~~~!!!"

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!"

"Master, master, master~~~"

The person who rushed over hugged Youxiang's neck and head, and put his own head on it, rubbing his face frantically while stroking Youxiang's hair: "It's so cute, so cute, so cute!! Master~~ahhhhhhhhh ~~I like it! I like you! Hug! Stick it! Cengceng!!"

"Fei, Feibi?!!" How could it be here? ! !ran out? !And this position... It's okay to be hugged by Feibi like this, because Yuxiang is sitting on Katakuri's lap, and Feibi threw himself on Katakuri's body, which made Katakuri Takuri was quite upset, and raised his hand to pick him up: "Who are you?!!"

"Huh? Oh oh oh~ Son of BigMom! Did you see me once? Oh, did you see me then?" Phoebe didn't mind being held by Katakuri's collar at all, He opened his hands and said, "I am Fabias, the master's dog!!"

"Why are you all vying to be my dog!!" Who wants a dog! !Forget it, even Phoebe said that! !

"Suddenly asked me why...Master is really wicked~~ Is he so straightforward in front of his fiancé?" Fabias blushed unexpectedly, he looked at Youxiang with a slightly intoxicated gaze and expression and said, "I don't know about others, of course I said it because... yes, this, addiction, good, it is!"

"........."

"...Throw it out." Katakuri said after hearing this, "It's better to throw this dirty thing out, it smells good."

"That's what you said. Going outside and blowing some air should calm him down."

"Hey~~~ The master said the same! Ahhh! I'm so sad! But what's the matter with being a little excited——Wow! Wait! Don't really throw it! Did you really throw it? I Say!? Wait ahhh!!"

Although Phoebe was struggling, Katakuri threw him directly out the window.He barked very loudly, but disappeared before he even touched the window.The room was immediately quiet.What a rowdy guy.

"But... why is Phoebe here? Shouldn't he be arrested by Chris's clansmen..."

Youxiang looked at the direction where Feibi disappeared and was still thinking about it, the situation just now happened again.That's right, another person rushed over from the side, hugged Youxiang's head and began to cry: "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! You can finally hear me, right? You can see me now Is it? Cabbage~~~ Scared me to death... woo woo woo..."

"Rosie!!" Great it's Rosie! !This time, Youxiang was not as panicked as she was just now. She also hugged Rossi, patted his head and said, "Great, you're fine! I'm also worried that I can't find you all of a sudden... Fortunately, now meet again!"

"It's because you can't hear my voice..." I have always been here.I keep looking at you, but I can't do anything.I can't touch you, and you can't see or hear me... Rossi hugged me a little tighter, and he said, "Although I can feel your existence in the dream world, I can't find you anyway... Even though I know those people are going to do terrible things to you, I still can't find you...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I always..."

"Rosie doesn't need to apologize! I know it! I know that Rosie has worked very, very hard..." Youxiang stroked his hair and smoothed it out for him, "Dover told me that!"

"!! Did he find you!!" Rossi raised his head in surprise and said, "I, so I...helped a little bit, didn't I?!"

"Well! Thanks to Rossi! Otherwise, I might not be able to get through this difficult time!"

"Ah...that's great..." Rossi seemed relieved, he put his head back into Youxiang's arms again, and said with relief, "I just... just met him when I was looking for you .At that time...it seemed that a gust of wind was guiding me, and I walked in the direction of the wind unconsciously, and then I met Dover. So...is it really who is guiding me?"

Feng...Youxiang thought of the amulet, she said: "Yes, it is the amulet of the god... I was also guided by the wind."

"That's right...it's God...you don't mind if I'm a devil and you help me, that's great..." Rossi muttered, and he said, "Dover didn't do strange things to you, did he, Cabbage?"

"He's sure to do it."

"That's right... Haha..." After relaxing, Rosie stopped crying, he said, "Don't let it happen again... This kind of thing... I almost died again..."

"It won't happen again. At least the probability is very low." At this moment, Phoebe, who had just been thrown out, came back by himself.He appeared on the opposite sofa, picked up an orange on the table, "Can I eat it?"

"..." Katakuri didn't say anything, he just pushed Rossi away so that he wouldn't get so close to him, "So, you were responsible for the movement at the shrine just now?"

"Huh? Did you hear that? Well... there's nothing we can do about it." Phoebe held the orange in his hand, but didn't peel it off. He observed while saying, "Although they are forcing the demons to do things for them, But it also requires a price. If it was not charged at the time, it does not mean that it will be fine. I just charged some price."

The screams of those people, and the screams of monsters... Although you can almost guess how messed up the shrine is, let's ask for now.Katakuri said, "Did you kill them?"

"K, Chris, how are you? Phoebe?" Anyway, at that time, Chris wanted to help himself.Youxiang said, "You won't really kill him, will you?"

"That kid let me out."

"what?!"

"How should I put it...Although I don't want to admit it, Master, you see that people are quite high-level..." Fei Bi still held the orange and didn't peel it. After he finished speaking, he handed the orange to someone. Xiang said, "I can't eat this, Master!"

"Hmm, um..." It turns out that I don't know how to eat!Youxiang took the orange and helped him peel it and said, "So... Phoebe took Chris..."

"No. I didn't kill them." Phoebe spread his hands, he said, "I just destroyed their magic circle, so that they can no longer hurt the master. You see, now I am back because of the connection with other people." The sound and the strange things are gone too, right?"

"That's it..." Youxiang almost understood, she said, "Then these... black ones are also caused by everyone coming back?"

"Ah... almost. Because the master can't return to the previous state no matter what. I'm sorry." Phoebe lowered his voice slightly, and he said, "How can I explain... Originally, master, you just You have the ability to stay awake in a dream. But later, people made you an arrogant bride, and you became a bridge that can connect dreams and the world.”

"However, even if this is the case, you still have a little ability to protect yourself. After all, you are a human being, and there is a natural gap between humans and the dream world. This gap can at least prevent you from suffering too much substantial harm .It’s like before, although you can hear voices and feel uncomfortable, but that’s it.”

"But now... because the mourning ceremony was forcibly activated, the barrier between you and the dream world has been broken." Feibi shook his head, and he said, "The mourning ceremony should have been a very sophisticated ceremony. , requires a lot of magical materials, like this is almost forced into the dream world, there will be various side effects..."

"Is that why the hair turns white?"

"Well... it will be reflected in the body to some extent. The change of hair color should be the most basic. I have seen someone's hair turn blue-green before... well, if it's just changing the color, it's fine, I Having said that, the gap between you and the dream world is almost gone, master. You are very dangerous now."

"Danger means... those louder and louder voices?" Now Youxiang finished peeling the orange and handed it to Phoebe.

"That's right. Because, ah, demons want to come out of this world very, very much. Actually, we don't know the specific reason. It's just that we instinctively want to come outside, so we find various opportunities to come outside at all costs. " Phoebe took the orange, he said, "Now the owner is almost completely exposed to them, just like the gate of a fortress is completely open..."

"I couldn't wait to rush over and want to occupy the master, so that I can come in and out freely." Phoebe ate a piece of orange, which seemed sour, but he ate another piece, "But it's okay, because I destroyed the orange in time. After getting rid of those half-baked formations, we returned to the master's side...so, we can build a 'barrier' for the master again."

"Are these black tattoos?"

"Yeah. It's magic~~ Although it's the devil's magic...but it's just useful." Phoebe smiled, and he said, "To put it simply... the original city wall of the master was destroyed, but we did it again for The owner built a brand new fence, although the appearance is different from the previous one, but the function is the same, right?"

That's how it is... No wonder I felt as if something had entered my body at that time.Is it the magic of the devil... Youxiang looked at the black tattoo on her hand, and she became a bit like Mr. Luo.

"If you don't like it, I can cover it up for you." At this time, Frey appeared beside Youxiang. He sat on the sofa beside Youxiang, then picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, " Now you can't do without us even more, little girl. If you don't have us, you will be completely exposed to the enemy's artillery."

"Frey~~~" Great you're all back!I'm so worried!Youxiang immediately rushed to his side and hugged his arm, while Frey gave her one arm perfunctorily, took a sip from the teacup with the other hand, and said, "However, The situation this time should never happen again. I don’t think anyone in this world will use that kind of spell anymore except for those half-baked mages.”

"The half-baked magic is also half-baked. They also lost their wife and lost their soldiers. The loss is huge. That's why I said that this situation is almost impossible to happen again. Master is safe now!" Phoebe smiled, and he He also took a teacup and poured water for himself.

"So that's how it is...I already understand." Youxiang nodded, and she said, "Thank you for helping me again~~"

"Master is really weird... This is obviously a super~~ unequal exchange?" Phoebe tilted his head, and he said, "Do you know what kind of big demons you are allowing to wander around in this world? In the past... even the most respected mages would faint when they heard this. But we are just protecting you, which is easier for us than drinking water!"

"It's so simple?!"

"After all, there is nothing in the dream world. And we are pure demons. Most of the guys who come here are not as pure as us. In short, they are all weaker than us." Phoebe took a sip of water, he said, " And those who are like us...they still have their own things to do, and they won't rob us of anything."

"The relationship is pretty good?"

"Hahaha~~ Who wants to have a good relationship with those guys! But that's right! The relationship is not bad!" Phoebe laughed, and he said, "The master's situation is like this. Although there are some side effects, it's okay now You can rest assured now...whether it's hair or tattoos, you can use magic to restore them all, these are trivial things!"

"Actually, I quite like white..." The hair is nothing... Youxiang thought about it, and she said, "But can this cover it up for me? If Grandpa sees it, he might cry and say, 'My family Xiangxiang has become a bad girl!!' or something like that."

"Master is really thinking... Obviously for human beings, this should be a very dangerous thing." Feibi seemed to have activated magic while talking, and his palm shimmered slightly, and the black hair on Youxiang's body The tattoo slowly disappeared.

"Maybe it's because... I've known Frey since I was a child? I don't think everyone is that dangerous."

"I'm a vicious devil, master! But it's okay if you think so... After all, it's impossible for a devil to lie. Just trust us. Youxiang." Phoebe's smile became a little intoxicated at this time, " We all love you, huh?"

"What he means is that the conditions of the bride's contract are so harsh. If we want to continue to enter and exit the barrier at will, it will not be against you." Frey re-explained Phoebe's words, "Besides, the devil itself cannot lie .us--"

"Frey." It's okay, I get it.I trust you.Always believed.Youxiang interrupted him, and then smiled, "Would you like grapefruit tea?"

"..." You little girl...forget it.It is because of this that I always make myself miserable, but I can always save myself from danger.Humans are truly amazing species.Frey said, "Ice it!"

"Okay~~Then I'll make a special supper for everyone! That's right!" Youxiang remembered something, "I also want to introduce a new partner! That~~ I'll put a lightsaber——"

"It's Duke, right?"

"It's Duck."

"So he hasn't come back yet?"

Before Youxiang finished speaking, a certain three demons said that they already knew.So Youxiang stuck her waist up: "Why do you all know!!"

"Because Cabbage can't see us, we've always been by Cabbage's side." Rossi explained with a wry smile, and said, "Thanks to Mr. Iji and Duck... Cabbage can always find a good partner That's great~~Is this a superpower?"

"This little girl's super power is that she always attracts strong and loveless guys." For example, the guy next to her has been silent.Frey said, "Anyway...we know all about that! Go make me grapefruit tea, girl!"

"Hmph... Frey doesn't even praise others... It's hard work making a lightsaber!! No one praises me for being amazing!!"

"It's just assembling and it's not very--alright! Awesome! It's you! You're so cute and powerful, and you can also make citron tea. You are a god, aren't you? Isn't it, Miss citron tea master?"

"What is the owner of citron tea! Frey, you just want to drink citron tea!!"

"What's wrong with me just wanting to drink! Am I guilty if I want to drink grapefruit tea?!"

The relationship is really good... Katakuri didn't interrupt Yuka's conversation.After all, Youxiang was very happy, so he didn't say anything.It's just that he still has doubts: "You said you didn't kill those people in the shrine. Then where are they now?"

"Staying here will still be used by BigMom, and this time they failed, and they will probably be punished and forced to do even more outrageous things." Phoebe raised his eyebrows, and he said, "So, I gave They pointed out a clear way...just hide. Pretend I killed them all, and then hide where even BigMom's intelligence network can't find it."

"..." A place where mom's information network couldn't find... Katakuri understood, "Is it Wano country?"

"That's Master Yulian's hometown. Although it's not a place with good memories for her, but now she has no other choice." Phoebe smiled like a devil now, he said, "Did you know, Katakuri, Yuren-sama, she can see the future."

"Seeing the future...?" Is it the same as my ability?

"It's different from your ability. She doesn't rely on your so-called arrogance and arrogance to see the future a few seconds later, but she is born with that kind of talent. Future vision... probably has this kind of saying." Fei Bi Tilting his head slightly, he said, "Possessing this ability is not so much a blessing as a heavy burden. Gaming with the future of the world is also quite hard."

"Are you saying that all of her decisions are based on the future she sees?"

"Who knows. All I know is that the future is an ever-changing thing, so not even omniscience can answer questions about the future. Or put into words what the future will look like." Phoebe replied, "And Jade Lady Lian, whether she is avoiding disasters that will happen in the future, or trying her best to bring the 'off-track' world back to its proper track...Only she knows."

A derailed world... Katakuri glanced at Yuka.Is this considered... off track?If there is no incense, if I have not wavered, then what will happen?Straw Hats Will they still come to Totland?Will I still fight them with the feeling that I want them to succeed?What about mom?

"It's pointless to think about those things. Katakuri." Fabias seemed to see Katakuri's mind, and he said, "People can't go back to the past. Things have already happened, so even if You are a devil, and you can only accept the current situation and move on.”

That's right...it doesn't make sense to think about that.That's the end of the matter, we can only move on.

"You want to eat that." Katakuri said, looking at Phoebe who had been paying attention to the donuts on the table, "You don't need to peel that one. You can eat it directly. It's best served with tea."

"I see! The human world is so nice~~" Phoebe picked up the donut in satisfaction, and then took a bite, "Ahh~~ So sweet!! There is such a sweet thing! It's unbelievable... This feeling...could it be—happiness?!!"

"Never eaten?"

"There is nothing in the place where the devil lives. Although the devil itself does not need to eat, everyone likes delicious food, right?"

"I thought the devil could get whatever it wanted."

"That's the most ridiculous rumor circulating in the human world. If we can get everything, why bother with humans?"

"... makes sense."

The author has something to say:

This chapter is a bit long, rounding it up is a double update!So today is double change (kimbo)

In short, this crisis is over. Of course, the Totland chapter is not over yet...
