[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 617 is not a coincidence

Chris wasn't quite sure what was going on.In short, His Royal Highness, who was serious and unsmiling in front of him, was looking at Youxiang who was eating ice cream with gentle eyes, and Pupu lay on his lap unceremoniously.Although Pupu is indeed a kitten who is clingy to people (everyone is clingy), it looks like he has known him a long time ago.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Understood. Add another cake, donuts and sundae." Katakuri replied with a serious face.

"Do you understand?!" Chris looked at him in surprise.

"I don't understand at all. But you can never go wrong with cake donuts and ice cream." Katakuri said that he just chose the safe option. He said, "Anyway, it's delicious. Just tell me What do you want me to do?"

"Hmm..." Youxiang swallowed what she had just eaten, and she said, "Mr. Katakuri, I heard that this town is currently investigating cases of people disappearing. Do you have any clues?"

"Ah, a little bit. I can't be sure of the validity, but it's worth investigating." Katakuri replied, "Why do you ask that?"

"I have a friend who came here from the desert country to investigate people's disappearances, so I wanted to help."

"The country of the desert... I understand." People from that country sometimes appear in groups near the coast.But most of them only stayed for a short time before going back.Are those people also among the missing... Katakuri thought for a while, and he said, "I can share information with her. Where is she now?"

"Should be investigating in town...but I'll be back tonight!"

"So... until she comes back, I can be with you?"

"Mr. Katakuri, if you talk like that to a girl, you will be considered a pervert."

"Sorry." Katakuri immediately changed his method, "Then let's wait for her to come back together. During this period——"

"Mr. Katakuri, tell me what the clue is!"

"Okay." I wanted to talk to you about something light-hearted... Katakuri had no choice but to listen to Yuka, he said, "We have received a report from a long time ago that Bolifen Town Someone disappeared for unknown reasons. This time, my mother sent me and my eldest brother to solve this problem once and for all. In the past few days, we have sent people to search for some interesting clues. "

Eldest brother refers to the other prince His Royal Highness that I met that night.It seems a little more reliable than Mr. Katakuri... Youxiang thought to herself, and then took a sip of the ice-cold milk tea.

"..." But Katakuri stopped.

"Mr. Katakuri?"

"Sorry. I lost my mind." Lovely.Why do you feel that drinking milk tea looks so cute...and it seems familiar.I used to sit across from her and watch her keep eating.It would be great if the guy next to him named Chris could consciously disappear at a time like this.Katakuri came back to his senses, and he said, "One of them is that ghosts appear on the beach. After we went to investigate, we found you."

The ghost by the sea should be Miss Perona... Youxiang said, "Then what else besides this?"

"There are still a lot of unrelated cases that have been found after investigation, and Brother Peros and I have almost dealt with them." Katakuri shook his head, and he said, "There is only one... the reaction from a nearby vendor, a few days ago There's a man calling himself a detective who's been going around the town asking about the town."

"detective……?"

"Ah. It seems that he came from the Dominion. He is very concerned about the situation in Bolifan Town, and seems to be looking for a man with a hook in his left hand." Katakuri continued, "However, we have not found him so far. He may be Went back to the Dominion. It's not sure if he has anything to do with the disappearance... It's just that we don't have any more clues."

The missing people have little in common, men and women, young and old.Most of them disappeared alone or when two or three people disappeared together.No bloodstains or the like were found at the scene, and there were no witnesses, so there was no clue at all.

The man with the hook in his left hand sounds scary... Youxiang said: "Mr. Katakuri, actually, a few days ago, when I was in town, I met some bad guys who kidnapped girls."

"...What?" When did it happen!Katakuri immediately stood up. He said, "Where is it? Are you not injured? Where are those people?"

"It's near another street. At that time, Ms. Weiwei and I ran away, and then Ms. Perona helped us. We kept running...and then met Chris. Those people stopped chasing us halfway." Youxiang recalled , she said, "They look like repeat offenders, doesn't Mr. Katakuri know?"

"I haven't heard of such a blatant crime." I'm afraid it's because the subordinates were bribed and didn't report it.Katakuri frowned. He thought about it and said, "I will tell Brother Peros to clean up the house. But let's deal with the active criminals first, Youxiang. Maybe we can get some clues."

"Wow... Are we going to catch the bad guys?" Youxiang suddenly regained her energy, and she said, "The kind that His Royal Highness personally goes out for?"

"That's right." Let me see who is so arrogant.Katakuri stood up as he spoke, "Let's eat the rest when you come back. Let's go first."

"Hmm! I was wondering if someone else would be killed... Mr. Chris should go too!"

"It's impossible for me to leave you behind..." Chris sighed helplessly, he really didn't know why the relationship between Youxiang and this prince who seemed to be difficult to get along with was warming up so quickly.The prince looked like he wanted to marry You Xiang home right away, so it's really all right, You Xiang... Could it be that he has other plans—he obviously has other plans!

"Huh? Want to hold Youxiang's hand?" Youxiang looked up at Katakuri, and then took his hand, "Although it doesn't matter, but... I always feel that it is not so familiar. We used to Haven't you done that before?"

"I don't remember. But there seemed to be no way to hold hands properly." Now it's different.Although... the body feels strange, but I'm still a little happy because it seems that I can get closer to you.Katakuri said, "It seems that something happened... It made me a little worried about you. Youxiang."

"what's up?"

"I don't know. But... your hair..." White.Every time I see this pure white color, I feel heartache.Katakuri squeezed Yuka's hand tightly while saying that, "But, it's okay. I'll protect you, okay? Don't worry about anything."

A lot of people say this to themselves... Mr. Katakuri, Mr. Kira, Ace, Sabo... How worried were you before?Youxiang was thinking a bit distressed, and then saw Chris who was a little embarrassed following behind: "Mr. Chris, shall I hold your hand too?"

"No, no need...Although I really want to agree..." But your fiancé-sama is staring at me!Chris declined. He said, "Master Katakuri, do you know Tianhuacheng's village?"

"Ah, I know. According to the report... it is a village in the mountains that pretends to be a ghost." Katakuri heard the report from his subordinates, and because it was rumored that anyone who got close would be cursed, no one dared to approach that place.He said, "I heard that they don't cause trouble, they just come back occasionally to buy some resources and the like. There should be no suspicion."

"It's great that we don't suspect us... But what I want to say is that there are also people missing in our village." Chris said, "I also want to help with the investigation, Master Katakuri."

"Your village... Are you from that village?" Katakuri looked over in surprise and said, "How many people have disappeared? Has it been a long time?"

"There are five people in total, who disappeared in the last week. They are all people who came to the town to purchase." Chris replied seriously, "Now my mother only allows me to go in and out of the village alone. Everyone in the village is very worried... ...But looking at the meaning of the mother, it should be regarded as they have already..."

"..." If you disappear for too long, it will be really bad luck.Katakuri thought for a while, and he said, "Your mother is really worried about you. Aren't you afraid that you will disappear too?"

"It seems that because my mother has specially seen my future... so I am very sure that nothing will happen to me." Chris remembered that he forgot to introduce his mother when he said this, "Oh, I forgot to say...my mother has The ability to see the future."

"Ah?" True or false... But you can let your son do this kind of thing with peace of mind, is it true or something wrong with your mind?Katakuri said a little incomprehensibly, "Then can she see who the criminal is?"

"Well, every time my mother predicts the future, she consumes a lot of energy, which will make her physically poor. It's not like watching it whenever you want, it's not that kind of working principle..."

"You mean no?"

"terribly sorry……"

"Didn't you inherit some of your mother's strength?"

"Almost nothing. I'm just an ordinary person." Chris admitted this fact with great pain, and he said, "But I still want to do something for everyone in the village, Lord Katakuri. I will try not to be so it's useless."

Just thinking about it that way is not completely useless.never mind.Katakuri said: "I see. You can participate in the investigation of this case, but you have to break up with Youxiang."

"We're not dating, Katakuri-sama..."

"But you clearly look like you really want it." It is absolutely impossible for you to succeed!Katakuri was vaccinated in this way first, and then grabbed Youxiang who was about to fall while walking, and then naturally bent down to help her arrange her hair and clothes, "Is the shoe uncomfortable?"

"Not at all...it seems to be tripped!"

"Hold on and I'll be fine." I always feel that she will wear shoes that don't fit well... But this should be fine now.Katakuri looked at the boots that Yuka was wearing now.It is a flat bottom, and the bottom looks very comfortable, so it should not be a problem with the shoes.But why did I have this illusion... Forget it.

Thinking of this, he picked You Xiang up in his arms, and after he stood up straight, he realized something was wrong: "...Sorry."

"Ka, Katakuri-san..."

"It's a conditioned reflex." This is definitely a conditioned reflex!I used to hold her like this... because I couldn't simply hold her hand.Because...it seems that he and she are not from the same world.Katakuri put Yuka back, "Forgive me. I... hey... It's a bit strange to justify, isn't it?"

"... Has Mr. Katakuri become shorter?" Youxiang actually felt that the scene just now was not unfamiliar, and she now believed that she was Katakuri's fiancée.However, there is still a little sense of disobedience, that is, Katakuri seems to have become shorter.

"It seems to be." Katakuri himself thought so, "But it's not a bad thing. Let's move on."

"Ok!"

"..." I am... redundant! !Chris was watching what had just happened, these two people were so unaware and completely ignored themselves! !Could it be true? ?The fiancée's matter... Could it be true? ? ?
