[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 278

"If the bride goes out with such an expression, she will be judged by others, right?"

The young president of the top fashion beauty salon 'Hua Hydrangea' said helplessly while using a powder puff to repair the fragrant makeup: "I saw you before, and you still looked confident."

"Xiao Channai..." Youxiang was still a little nervous, she was terrified, her previously peaceful mood was now like a lake where many stones were thrown, "Do all brides enter the ceremony with such anxiety?"

"Although I have never been married, I have done makeup for many brides." Chanel replied, "Some of them were crying uncontrollably, some couldn't sit still because of excitement and excitement, and some were calm. Waiting for that moment to come. You are one of the more trouble-free types."

"This, that's it..."

Youxiang didn't know what else to say.It is the morning of the wedding day.Katakuri kept her near the castle all day yesterday for various reasons.Almost never got to meet anyone else.I'm a little worried about Sanji-san, but he should be able to handle it himself.Relatively speaking, it may be that I am more worrying.

Although at night, Fei Bi came to play with him in the dream again, but I don't know if it's because the wedding day is approaching, it's not so easy to be fragrant in the dream.My heart is always hanging, and it seems to be held tightly by someone, and I can't let it go, and there is still a little pain.

Has Ace arrived yet?Where is Luffy?What about Sabo?Although there are many, many people who have promised themselves, even though I believe in them, but without seeing their faces, there is no way to calm down.Human beings are really troublesome, Youxiang thought, if I could face these things calmly, wouldn't it be cooler?Just like Dak...

"Are you ready?"

While Youxiang was still in a daze, a voice came from the window, and Katakuri jumped in from the window for some reason. He hadn't changed into the clothes that the groom should change at the wedding, and he was wearing A cloak that seemed to hide his identity.

"Is it plausible that you, a groom, broke in suddenly?" Shanna squinted her eyes and looked at him and said, "Although it is indeed done... But you are not preparing at all, let me tell you!"

"..." This little girl was really strict.Katakuri paused, and said, "I'll just change my clothes. The main event this time is Bryn and the Vinsmokes." We're just passing by.

"Say this in front of your bride... you men are really good!" Chanel muttered a little angrily, and she sighed, "Forget it. Anyway, one or two are like this."

That's right, no matter what, the wedding should be an important day.But...the wedding won't be 'successful'.The moment Pulin and Sanji kissed each other, someone would attack the Germa royals who were unarmed and unguarded at the venue.Pudding will also shoot Sanji.

If it goes well, Germa will be completely destroyed at that moment, and the 'country' parked in Totland will also be invaded, and the technology in it is the only goal of Mom.

It's like dealing with fragrant things.Mom doesn't need equal deals and disobedient underlings.What she needs is control, a puppet that is absolutely obedient.On the premise that she wanted Germa's technology, of course Germa's people became her obstacles.This wedding has been a complete trap and lie from the beginning.

"You Xiang, come to me."

Katakuri knelt down on one knee, he bent down and held out his hand to Yuka.

Although, the wedding was fake.But now something is becoming true.In my heart, something changed.This is the last time and I don't want to waste it.As long as the wedding begins, the relationship between us may no longer be simple.

"Mr. Katakuri, that..."

"It's okay, I understand."

I understand how you feel.Katakuri held the hand of Yuxiang who came over a bit hesitantly, and said, "A little... go out with me. You can't sit still here, can you?"

"Yeah." That's right.In this room, it is as if the surrounding walls will press down, making it difficult to breathe.Youxiang nodded, and then she was picked up by Katakuri and hid in the cloak.Katakuri stood up and said to Kana, "We'll be back before the start. Sorry for your trouble."

"Hey..." There's really nothing I can do about you.Each one is so self-willed... Chanel sighed, and she said, "I know. Remember to be a little early, I may also modify your clothes."

"Ah, I see."

Katakuri responded, and then jumped out of the window with Yuka.His movements were neat, and Youxiang came to the square outside just feeling the ups and downs.People are excitedly discussing the wedding.For example, what color is Lord Brin's wedding dress, what are the princes of the Vinsmoke family like, why is Lord Katakuri here and so on.

However, what is certain is that everyone is very happy.After all, a wedding is supposed to be a happy day.

Not everyone can enter BigMom's banquet.The venue for the wedding was set up on top of the huge cake castle on Cake Island.A wall encloses the square into a secure private enclave.Capone Becky, who is in charge of the on-site guards, is standing in front of the gate and supervising everyone who wants to enter the wedding site to put down all weapons and lightly enter the venue.

Now because it is still some time before the official start, there are not so many people.The VIPs who were specially invited have not yet arrived.Katakuri didn't stay here too long, he came to the bottom of the castle.

There are many, many civilians from Cake Island (and other islands) who come to see the excitement. They surround both sides of a main road and keep cheering the guests who walk that way to the top of Cake Castle.The city was dressed up in a playful and cheerful manner, leaving aside those deep-seated things, at least many people here feel that today is a happy day.

"What are you doing here, Katakuri."

Still planning to watch the excitement for a while, Perospero's voice came over.I saw him walking from the crowd, looked helplessly at Katakuri and Youxiang in his cloak and said, "Now is not the time for the bride to appear, Peroli..."

"Brother Peros." Katakuri tentatively responded, "I just can't sit still, so I'm going out for a walk."

"Sit still if you can't sit still. Don't be self-willed." Perospero frowned slightly. He looked at Katakuri, then looked at the surrounding situation, and then motioned for him to follow. A relatively hidden corner, "I really can't do anything about you, Katakuri. I didn't expect you to be shaken by this kind of thing. I thought you were invincible."

"...Huh?" Katakuri didn't understand Perospero's meaning, he was stunned for a moment, and Perospero was already talking to Youxiang: "Xiao Youxiang, this is my last time Talking to you as a 'big brother', next time we meet, we must be enemies."

"Mr. Perros...?" Youxiang didn't quite understand, she carefully peeked out her eyes from Katakuri's cloak, "What, what do you mean?"

"Even if you can hide it from others, you can't hide it from me. Katakuri is my younger brother. Just look at it and you can tell that he has become different from before." Completely different.Perospero said, "As the eldest son of the Charlotte family, I must say that I am disappointed. However, as the eldest brother of Katakuri, I would like to say... Maybe this is the right way."

I no longer know how to judge.You are really too dangerous, Xiao Youxiang.Even the strongest man in Charlotte's family can't do anything to you.Mom wants to get rid of your mood, and I actually understand it in this way.But I also want to thank you for saving something that we couldn't or didn't even want to save.

However, if we want to keep this Totland peaceful for a lifetime, and if we want to protect the numerous people of Ten Thousand Kingdoms, then we must abandon them.Mother's fear, this layer of protective cover cast by terror, although ironic, has its necessity for existence.

I also want to apologize, we are so weak.

I want anger too, it's just too fragile.

But all the apologies and anger are meaningless.This delicate balance must be maintained, and it may be the best result to maintain it all the time.I dare not predict the future. The pupils of the person with future vision trembled after seeing the future.Although she didn't mention the future scene at all, for mortals, can they only focus on the present?

I can no longer have the reflection I have today, and I can no longer have the weakness at this moment.This is the last time, Xiao Youxiang, as the eldest son of the Charlotte family, as Charlotte Perospero's last confession.From now on, no kindness can tolerate remorse and weakness, so I will no longer have remorse and weakness.

"If this family can accommodate one or two mavericks, I think you should be worthy of a place." The last one was probably Laura.Hearing that she is still alive, as a big brother, I feel really complicated.She was the only one who escaped this layer of terror and survived.No wonder mom is angry, no wonder mom wants to kill her——

Because she is the one that makes the crack bigger and bigger, she has been fighting fiercely from the beginning.Desperate, she slashed at the prison of fear with everything at hand.Then, she proved...

It proves that no matter how humble our soul is, we can still defeat the devil.

Perospero took out a small backpack, which was full of unknown contents.He handed the small backpack to Youxiang, and then said: "Don't look back, Xiaoyouxiang. Don't read any kindness or righteousness. Don't trust us, don't pity us, we are pirates, murderous ghosts, There’s nothing that can change that.”

Youxiang holds the small backpack, which is full of candies.Before she had time to say anything, cheers came from the crowd, it seemed that BigMom's distinguished guests had arrived.Perospero looked over and said, "Go back, Katakuri. Wake up from the dream and do what we have to do."

Brother Peros... Katakuri didn't say anything, just watched Perospero leave here.He made his way through the crowd and came up to Mama's guest of honor.The queen of Happy Street, the president of World Economic News... those incredible big shots.

The crowd was screaming, and it seemed that someone had passed out at the sight of Mansfield's carriage, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

"Lord Mansfield!!!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

Hearing such cheers, Katakuri came back to his senses. He turned his back to those innocent people who absolutely didn't know and couldn't think of lies and traps, and then returned without saying a word. Into the castle.

- The dress and wedding dress are all white.How ironic.

Katakuri seldom wears such clothes, he feels a bit restrained.Is this dazzling white dress meant to satirize someone, or to make the blood more colorful... I'm afraid it's a combination of both.

"That's fine."

Chanel carefully made the final preparations. She was invited to deal with styling issues for the bride and groom, so she will only help them deal with these issues: "Don't run around anymore. I'm going to see another Yes." They are much more at ease than you.I guess so.

Little Chanel cleverly hid the casual clothes and 'luggage' in the fragrant white wedding dress. She didn't ask anything, as if she had expected this a long time ago.Speaking of which, she is also an informant of Jade's manager, so she should know a lot.

"Like I said before, you are fragrant. Don't look back."

Katakuri emphasized once more, he looked at Yuka who was standing in front of the window and was illuminated by the sun, for a moment he forgot what he was going to say next.

"Even Mr. Peros is worried about me." But Yuxiang knew what she was talking about, she lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Mr. Katakuri, I know... Sometimes, although the current situation may not be good , but maintaining the status quo is a relief for everyone. Did I do more than I did and hurt more people instead?"

"Youxiang, it's not wrong to be yourself." Katakuri approached her, knelt down in front of her again, and gently raised her head, "It's just... sometimes No matter how hard you work, you can only save a small number of people. This is not your fault. All the tragedies in Totland have nothing to do with you."

"..." Youxiang looked at the person in front of her, and even on the wedding day, she had to cover her face.She thought of the words Olu had said, and the malice of those who forced Olu to change his image and cover his face.And at this moment, is Katakuri also bearing another kind of malice?

Youxiang raised her hand, pulled down the scarf covering his face, and touched the scar on his face that he didn't know what caused it: "A person I know, he chose to escape. I don't think that's wrong, and It’s not ashamed. As long as it’s a method, as long as it can be recognized by yourself... then it’s fine. So..."

"So, whether it's Mr. Perros or Mr. Katakuri... you just chose a method to satisfy yourself. It's not weak, it's not shrinking... you're just doing what you think is right." Youxiang Smiling, she said, "I'm sorry, I just said something self-righteous again... I'm always like this, and I'm not a good bride."

"There is no better bride than you." Can't you see what you are now?You are really shining!This white... immaculate wedding dress, and, that white and flawless smiling face... Katakuri was a little speechless, "You just don't want...you don't want to be my bride?"

"I can't be any bride~ I told you!" Youxiang elongated her voice slightly, and she said, "I'm always not confident, and I think a lot of negative things... like It’s like being drawn by something, if you don’t pay attention, you will fall into a certain abyss. If I become someone’s bride, I will definitely... definitely bring misfortune to him.”

"You Xiang, I—" I don't care about that kind of...

"No~~ Mr. Katakuri! You can't say that kind of thing." Before he could speak, Yuxiang interrupted him, "It's my wish to make everyone happy. So I can't let everyone fall into misfortune. Every day Once, every time... everyone is helping me, pulling me out of that abyss. I can't be ungrateful and bring everyone who has tolerated me like this into that abyss."

"But...You Xiang, even if it's like this, even if you do nothing..." This pushes us into another abyss, doesn't it?But that abyss may not concern you.is ours.It is a vortex created by those of us who fell in love with you without authorization.You are so dangerous, Youxiang, you are so dangerous that even I feel scared.but……

But ah...

"...Although we can't hold a wedding." Katakuri gave up what he originally wanted to say.He suddenly felt that none of that was necessary.He just wants Youxiang to understand one thing, and only this one thing is the most important.He took out the wedding ring that was supposed to be used at the wedding scene.

Even if the whole wedding will be plunged into a bloody massacre, this thing is still prepared.Now it can be considered useful.He continued: "But I want to put this on you."

"Huh?" It's a wedding ring... isn't it?Youxiang didn't expect this.

"Youxiang, I want you to understand... just like what you said just now, we all made choices that we think are right. There is nothing wrong with this. So I am not doing something wrong now, right? " Katakuri put the ring on Yuxiang's hand, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to wear it and throw it away, or you can sell it. I just want you to know that I wear this for you because of myself It is my own choice."

"Ka, Katakuri-san..."

"My bride—although there is only the last bit of time left—you may not be able to save the whole of Totland, nor can you defeat Mother, and you cannot help the Charlotte family. But you saved me. Therefore, no matter what others do explain……"

"—you are my only bride."
