One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 119 You heartless bastard!

"Big senbei~"

"..." Yu's face immediately darkened.

Damn it, who answered that?! Didn't you see she was about to make a move?!

The Den Den Mushi was already in front of me, and wow, it was Shanks.

That means it's fast enough.

You glared at him, but obediently replied, "Little Rice Grain."

"Grandpa, it's me..." Before she could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi's eyes widened, and it roared at her in a fit of rage.

"You still know to contact me! You've got yourself hooked on being a pirate, haven't you! This time you've attacked the Marines, next time are you going to attack your grandpa, me?!"

Yu didn't expect her grandfather to be so angry. It shouldn't be like this. The navy ship she was dealing with had done terrible things, especially the leader. He didn't do anything righteous that the navy should do. Instead, he was even worse than the pirates.

Moreover, she didn't kill those sailors directly; she just injured and tied them up.

"Grandpa, don't be so angry. Didn't Aokiji show you the evidence?" Yu produced her identification document; she had run into Aokiji afterward and given him the evidence of the Navy's misconduct. "He's not back at the Navy base yet, is he...?"

Given Aokiji's lazy nature, it's not impossible that he could find a place to sleep for a few days.

Sengoku, on the other side, was stunned. Aokiji had returned, but no one brought him anything.

Garp sat leisurely to the side, eating senbei and drinking green tea. Only after feeling Sengoku's gaze did he reply, "Oh, I gave Aokiji to you. I forgot to show him to you."

"Grandpa Garp is here too!" Yu's eyes lit up when she heard the familiar voice, and she couldn't be happier. "Grandpa, you really should take some time to reorganize the Navy."

"If you're so worried about the situation within the navy, then come back and become a navy officer yourself to reform it!" Sengoku felt a little better after learning the truth, but that didn't appease his anger.

"You're taking on any pirate who comes your way, but have you thought about what you'll do if you encounter a powerful enemy? You're still a pirate, so your bounty will keep increasing, which will inevitably attract attention!"

"Wasn't it Grandpa who issued the bounty order and raised it for me..." You muttered softly, thinking that Grandpa had tacitly approved of it.

Sengoku was taken aback by Yu's words, and his face fell. "Are you blaming me for issuing a bounty on your head now?!"

"No, no, it's my fault, I was wrong, Grandpa~" As the saying goes, you should admit your mistakes quickly. "Oh, Grandpa, you agreed back then, how can you go back on your word? Besides, I'm not weak now, I'll definitely be fine."

“What happened then is what happened now. Can’t I go back on my word?” Sengoku was determined to bring Yura back. “If you know you’re wrong, come back right away.”

Yu Cai said no, he had mistaken her for someone else, but he was determined not to change his mind. "That's impossible. Grandpa, take care of yourself. Keep an eye out for the Dark Fruit when you have time. I have things to do, so I'll hang up now."

At the end of the call, without giving anyone time to react, the Den Den Mushi was hung up.

It's not easy to take a long, deep breath and talk to Grandpa.

Ending the conversation, Yu tossed the Den Den Mushi to Beckman and, clenching her fists, walked step by step toward Shanks. She hadn't forgotten what had just happened.

This time, no one can save Shanks.

About half an hour later, Shanks was laughing with a big bump on his head. It wasn't for any particular reason; although he had been beaten, Yu himself wasn't much better off.

After all, force is mutual; no matter how hard she hits him, she will also feel pain.

However, seeing the girl lying sprawled on the deck, Shanks squatted down beside her and asked, "Tired so quickly?"

"No, don't block my view of the sky." Yu waved his hand to make Shanks move aside.

Shanks looked away from Yu and lay down on the deck just like her.

Beckman watched the two men's actions without saying anything. He took his newspaper and sat down opposite Mihawk.

Benke and Mengshida began playing music in perfect harmony, accompanied by the sea breeze and waves. Everyone on deck was doing their own thing, yet the atmosphere was exceptionally warm and cozy.

You enjoyed the tranquility.

Whether it's the navy, pirates, or the revolutionaries, there's really no difference. Everyone is just living and enjoying life in their own way.

Yu is now just one of the three to continue living her life.

"Shanks, why don't you give me the captain's position?"

"Little brat, do you even have the ability?"

After thinking for a moment, You honestly replied, "No, that's true."

"Forget it, I'm not suited to be a captain. It's enough for me to come here occasionally as a crew member."

"By the way, you're not that much older than me, are you?" Yu is twenty-two years old, and Shanks is thirty-one, only nine years apart.

Shanks pouted. "Anyway, in terms of strength and age, you're still a little kid, and a little kid who's afraid of pain."

...

This person can be really cheeky sometimes!

"However, Yu, you've been one of us for a long time."

In this atmosphere, it was rare that Shanks didn't say anything to spoil the mood. Ironically, his words struck a chord with Yu, who was now also a member of the Red-Haired Pirates.

She has a place to belong in this world, so she can't and doesn't want to leave!

Yu got sand in her eyes and, afraid Shanks would see, shoved him hard. "You're probably possessed."

"You heartless bastard," Shanks muttered, rubbing his shoulder where he'd been shoved.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Shanks is the best." Wiping away her tears, Yu gave a thumbs up, a genuine thumbs up. Shanks is truly great, the entire Red-Haired Pirates are great!

After a fun-filled afternoon, dinner was a lively affair with a large group of people. Lachiru, Yu, and Mihawk cooked together, creating a delicious feast!

Everyone ate happily.

After dinner, Yu sat alone on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, her loose pink hair fluttering in the wind, while Shanks and the others laughed and chatted behind her. That guy was completely drunk again; he was nothing like a captain anymore.

Why would you be looking for the Dark-Dark Fruit?

Yu didn't turn her head. At this moment, in this situation, there could only be one person who would run out of the banquet to find her, and that was Beckman.

"Hehe, you're always the one who worries more." Yu leaned on her crossed arms, gazing at the distant sea.

"The Dark-Dark Fruit is not an easy fruit to deal with, especially for its user." Although he had never seen it, he had heard about it. However, all of this was what Shanks had heard from Roger.

Roger's rival, Rocks, was the previous user of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

“I was seriously injured once before, caused by a Dark-Dark Fruit user. My ability is innate, but Dark-Dark Fruit users can also disable my plant abilities.” Yu found it hard to imagine whether he would have a chance to escape if he targeted other ability users.

Beckman also realized that this fruit was difficult to deal with, but he also had a weakness: "Non-Devil users are his nemesis."

"Wait, the Dark Fruit has already been eaten?"

Yu shook her head. "That person is from the future, so I want to find him before he does." She wanted to cut off his development from the source, but so far she doesn't even know who that person is.

"Come to us if you need anything."

You chuckled, "I really do need to. Keep an eye on my dad for me."

"That ability user can use my father's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability. I don't know the specific reason, but I guess he can steal the ability." After all, that person wanted to steal her ability.

"So, your previous trip to the Whitebeard Pirates was to find this Devil Fruit user by working with Whitebeard?" Beckman finally understood the reason after piecing things together.

"You found out." Yu nodded sheepishly; it was a little embarrassing to talk about.

Two years ago, when Yuuka said goodbye to Law, she didn't plan to go directly to the Whitebeard Pirates. The problem was that she couldn't find them, but the bigger problem was that Yuuka didn't have the strength to directly confront Whitebeard.

But things didn't go as planned, and she happened to run into one.

It would have been fine if they had just run into each other, but their first meeting didn't go very well.

At that time, there was a group of pirates who were bullying others by using the name of Whitebeard. Yu followed their pirate ship and taught them a lesson at sea.

As luck would have it, Whitebeard and his crew were also chasing this pirate crew, but Yu didn't know that.

At the time, she thought it was the boss coming to rescue the younger brother.

The more Yu thought about it, the more she realized how brave she was to go up and challenge the team captain, Marco, to a one-on-one fight.

"And then what?" Beckman didn't know the specifics of what happened next.
