[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 444 The body is a child, but the mind is...

Mr. Katakuri, turned into a child!so cute! !

After bringing Katakuri into the house, the others didn't know what to say, after all, this was the first time they encountered such a thing.That tall, strong man with a bounty of more than one billion has turned into this appearance, and anyone who sees it will be shocked - except You Xiang.

Youxiang is sitting next to Katakuri now, watching him make florets.so cute.Is this the legendary cute contrast!Even Mr. Katakuri had a childhood!The top of the head...it's furry...I really want to touch it!But no!Everyone is talking about business, don't touch it!no!Mr. Katakuri will be angry!cannot……

"...?"

You Xiang is touching the top of her head.Katakuri turned his head away, and then saw the fragrant little flowers.He sighed and said, "Do you have any idea about this situation? Youxiang?"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" I couldn't hold back and touched it... It really is fluffy!Youxiang immediately withdrew her hand, and she said, "Well, I've never seen such a situation... If it's not a devil fruit, then... Frey?"

"Hmm~~~" Frey appeared next to Katakuri. He took a closer look at Katakuri, who was only about 8 years old at this time, and said, "There is a magical breath. The spirit has no effect, just the body Your age has been 'stolen'. This kind of magic is very simple for demons...almost any demon with a little skill can do it. Since when did you become like this?"

"Earlier today." Katakuri replied, "I just said it. After reuniting with Peros-san, it suddenly became like this when I was about to come back."

"Did you encounter any strange things during this period?"

"No. Haven't talked to anyone either."

"This is strange..." Could it be a randomly selected target?Impossible...that would be too coincidental.Why did you choose such a troublesome guy?Frey said, "If you think about it again, it can be a little thing, even a few days ago. Is there nothing that vaguely makes you feel strange?"

"..." Katakuri recalled it carefully. Ever since he met his mother at Utodon, he has been trying to contact his brothers and sisters to find out what happened to his mother.It is very difficult to contact outsiders in Wano Country, so he also traveled a lot of places and spent a lot of time.

Nothing special happened during this time.Wano Country already looked like this, and it was easy for him to deliberately avoid people.Just yesterday, he finally had a successful meeting with Perospero, but there was something wrong at that time...

"Although I don't know if it's related, but after meeting Brother Peros, I met a woman with a child." Katakuri said, "They are in the wilderness... It seems that they escaped. Brother Peros gave Something for them to eat."

"Hmm..." I can't tell from this alone... Frey raised his eyebrows slightly, he said, "The pupils of that woman... have you noticed?"

"Pupil?" What do you mean?

Frey approached Katakuri slightly, and then pointed to one of his eyes. At this time, his green eyes changed slightly. The black pupils that should have been round turned into a square shape like a four-pointed star. !

"Ordinary demons can't hide such eyes." Only pure demons like us can disguise the eyes."However, in order not to be detected by people like exorcists, demons will hide themselves by attaching themselves to humans. This way the special eyes become less recognizable," Frey said.

"Ah... her... her eyes should be normal." If it was so special, I wouldn't fail to notice it.Katakuri paused, he remembered something and said, "That's right... She said that she and her child wandered in the wilderness for many days, hungry... But the strange thing is, the baby in her arms The child never cried."

"..." became more and more suspicious.Although there is no conclusive evidence yet... Frey raised his eyebrows, and he said, "If you don't encounter anything more weird... I think that woman should be a demon. The child didn't cry because there was no There are no children, she used tricks or something. But this is just a guess...By the way, how is your big brother Peros?"

"I don't know." Katakuri lowered his head slightly, and he said, "After explaining the situation to me, Brother Peros should have returned to the ship. After all, there are other brothers and sisters waiting for him to lead. You mean , Brother Peros may also become like this?"

Frey spread his hands, and he said: "I'm not sure. But if the woman you met is really a demon, it is very likely. You are all strong, and strong life energy will make you more likely to be demons." Note."

Is it so... Careless.Katakuri didn't speak anymore, but Matthew said: "Help the woman in the wilderness...you don't look so vicious."

"We are pirates, not evil spirits." We also won't attack casually those who are unarmed and obviously not threatening.Katakuri replied, and he said to Frey, "Is there no way you can restore me?"

"Ah, it can't be helped now." Frey looked at Katakuri again, and he said, "It looks like your 'age' was stolen and put on another person. If you don't find that person and the caster There is no way for people to recover.”

"Steal it and put it on another person...?" What is this plotting?Katakuri said, "You mean, there's another person who... ages instantly?"

"That's right. The magic I felt from you has such an effect. But I don't know what it is for." Frey shook his head, and he said, "As I said just now, this kind of magic is a little bit It’s not uncommon for demons with small skills to use it. Why don’t you ask those exorcists, they might have clues.”

"Yesterday... 99-kun also speculated that there might be a demon nearby." Youxiang recalled what 99-kun said yesterday, and she said, "Mr. Katakuri also saw a suspicious person yesterday, and since then, Ai S and Sabo disappeared. Is there any connection between this?"

"Hmm... yesterday's succubus, 99, and Kamiya were very ostentatious. Maybe that demon discovered it, and then accelerated his plan." Frey sighed, and he said, "It may also be a pure coincidence .You have too few clues."

That's what you said... Youxiang also sighed: "Then I'll go to the mansion of the Wuguitang family and ask Mr. 99 and Miss Shengzi!"

"Five Ghost Hall...is that exorcist family, right?" Katakuri had heard of their names during his time in Wano Country, "I'll go with you too."

"Huh?! Mr. Katakuri and, will you go with me?!" No way!I can't help but touch the top of your head! !

"?" Katakuri didn't understand why Youxiang was so panic-stricken, he said, "I can't hug you now. Can you go by yourself?"

"... Please be sure to hold my hand." So cute.Saying such things in such a voice... so cute.Youxiang completely surrendered.

"Youxiang, you..." Marco wanted to catch Youxiang to him, but since his father was holding back, he couldn't move, so he said, "Didn't forget how this guy kidnapped you?" Go back to Totland, and then did you run into any danger in Totland?"

"That's not Mr. Katakuri's fault!" At this time, Youxiang had already hugged the little Katakuri on her knees, and patted his head blatantly, "It's okay! Matthew and Frey will Come with us, right?"

"I'm also a little worried about those two boys." Matthew had nothing to refute, he really wanted to follow, "I have a very bad feeling right now. Very, very bad."

No way... Ace and Sabo are together, there shouldn't be... an accident, right?Youxiang's heart tightened. When Matthew said this, she almost had a bad feeling.

"Portgas, are you missing?" He seemed to be talking about this just now.Katakuri raised his hand above his head, then held the hand of Yuxiang who was touching his head, then leaned back slightly, looked up at Yuxiang who was holding him, "He didn't tell you that he Where did you go?"

"Well, actually..." Youxiang replied, "Yesterday... I originally asked him and Sabo to wait for me while shopping. But then they disappeared, and no one has seen them again until now."

"..." It should be impossible to leave without saying goodbye.Portgas he won't leave you.That guy rushed to me without hesitation and snatched you away.Unless he had to, otherwise... Katakuri didn't say anything, he didn't want to scare Youxiang even more, "Let's go, go to the Five Ghost Hall."

As he said that, Katakuri jumped off Yuka's knees: "Even if we stay here in a daze, we have no idea. Let's go to the Five Ghost Hall, and the others will continue to look for Portgas. Is this okay?"

Although his body is eight years old, his tone and thoughts are still very mature.Saying this with a childish voice and appearance... It's weird, but kind of cute.You Xiang couldn't hold back and touched the top of his head.

"Do you like the top of my head so much?" Or hair?Katakuri didn't quite understand Yuka's behavior.

"Yes, sorry!!"

"No. I don't mind...just want to know the reason." There is no intention of asking you to apologize.

"Because, it's different from the usual Katakuri-san...it's kind of, cute..."

"…………"cute?Me now?But... Katakuri still didn't understand.Because he didn't think he was cute when he was a child.After all, it was because of being 'uncute' that Bree was hurt.He raised his hands and touched his mouth that seemed to be stitched open on his cheeks, "But this one is still there. I don't understand."

Mr. Katakuri... as expected, he still cares about his mouth.He seemed to have told himself that when he was a child, he didn't care about the strangeness of his mouth, and his behavior was very public, because Katakuri was very strong since he was a child, so even if someone bullied him, he could immediately fight back.

But what he didn't expect was that those who were malicious towards him couldn't beat him, so they turned their anger on his sister.Miss Bligh thus left scars on her face that could not be healed.Since then, Mr. Katakuri has changed.Wearing a scarf to cover her mouth, she also became low-key and silent.

"Mr. Katakuri..." Youxiang didn't know how to comfort him, after all, she didn't dare to say that she really understood his feelings.

"Don't show such an expression. Katakuri." Katakuri raised his hands again, and he touched Kazuya's face, "Unlike me, Kaka is very cute. If you show such a sad expression, there will be many Everyone is sad." For example, me.

"But……"

"I'm fine." It's fine.Because... Katakuri smiled, "Because I have Arika's magic. Right?"

"I'm sorry." Did I unintentionally say something excessive to you...cute or something...shouldn't I say that?Yuka said, "Well, Mr. Katakuri, I..."

"It's okay." No need to explain.I see what you mean, and I believe your point of view.If you say cute, then I am cute.How much?Katakuri interrupted Yuka, and he said, "Okay. Let's go. It's impossible for only one strange thing to happen. The disappearance of Portgas and the others may also have something to do with it. I will help you , let's go."

Although he has become smaller, Mr. Katakuri is still Mr. Katakuri... Youxiang nodded and stood up: "Mr. Marko, grandpa. I will go to Mr. 99 and ask them... Luo Do you have any plans, sir?"

"I'll go with you too." Foul Charlotte Katakuri!You foul!Turning into a child to attract Youxiang's attention... According to my observation, Youxiang doesn't particularly like children, she likes small animals more than children!But you actually used the trick of contrasting cuteness!It's too despicable! !

Luo was acting in his heart, but on the surface he said very calmly: "Ace is in charge and they are very important combat power. It would not be good for our alliance if they disappear. Let's go to Mansfield and ask him to help. "

"Hmm!" If it's the boss, I should be able to get some clues!Youxiang said, "Maxiu is coming too!"

"Yes... I didn't say no." Matthew also stood up, now that Ace and the others have disappeared again, he can't leave You Xiang alone, he said, "I hope my premonition doesn't come true. "

"What kind of premonition is that, Matthew?"

"kindergarten."

"Hey?"

"The dreaded premonition of the start of kindergarten."
