One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 154 He sacrificed himself

Bakara tried to get Katakuri's attention, but no matter what she said, the man remained silent.

This put Bakala in a difficult position.

In stark contrast to Katakuri, Cracker next to him seemed quite interested, saying, "You've been going on and on, but you haven't even mentioned her name."

"Her Majesty the Queen said that her name is Walker Bear and she likes to refer to herself as Bear."

"I asked for her real name! What girl would be called Walker Bear? It sounds like I'm fierce," Cracker retorted, but Baron Egg had mentioned that name before.

Yu was dressed like this when she went to Dressrosa.

"The invitation from the Big Mom Pirates was written by Her Majesty the Queen herself. I thought you knew each other," Baccarat said with a smile.

Let's see how long this can last.

Bakara's words were tinged with a probing tone, which Cracker didn't catch, but Katakuri did.

Katakuri had seen the invitation; it specifically mentioned cooperation and even his mother's desire for Titan transformation.

Fearing that their pirate crew might not attend, the invitation was written specifically to them, which is why Perospero sent him.

It's unclear whether it's a trap, so it's best to be cautious.

Looking back now, it was Yu who did it on purpose.

The point was simply to get Mom to send someone to attend.

"Cracker, stop talking so much," Katakuri said irritably.

That stupid younger brother of his, he just blurted things out! He actually asked about the relationship between Yu and Tesoro! What is he trying to do…?

From the moment Bakara appeared, she had been probing their relationship with Yu, but he, on the other hand, was forced to reveal everything.

Cracker looked aggrieved, but before he could even utter a word, his brother nipped the problem in the bud.

But it's understandable; the older brother probably saw what was going on in the future and realized he'd said the wrong thing, so he cut his losses in time.

Now even Cracker shut up.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information from him, Bakara shut her mouth and stopped talking.

But inwardly he couldn't help but criticize Katakuri.

This man is way too cautious; he's not interesting at all.

Would Miss Yu really like this?

“Brubrubru… Brubrubru…”

The car stopped at the game area. Cracker and Katakuri got out first, and Baccarat was about to get out when the sound of a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out in the car.

Bakara took out her Den Den Mushi, stepped back a few paces, and then answered the call.

Katakuri noticed this action but pretended not to see it.

"Mr. Tanaka?"

“It’s me.” Mr. Tanaka said, looking at the screen. “Miss Yu is not in the game area. She has returned to the main tower’s rest area and is with her two younger brothers.”

"Then what happened in the game area just now?" Bakara felt that it couldn't be a coincidence that Mr. Tanaka could be mistaken.

Mr. Tanaka belatedly realized that Yu was still wearing a suit, and the person he had just seen had pink hair, so at first glance they looked quite similar.

Mr. Tanaka explained, "It's just someone who looks very similar."

They were indeed so similar that he hadn't noticed until he saw Yu in the lounge. Only then did Mr. Tanaka realize he had mistaken him for someone else.

"Are you going to take them to the rest area now?"

Bakara glanced at Katakuri and Cracker, who had already walked far ahead, and shook her head, saying, "No, we won't get anything useful out of them. Let's go back and rest."

A look of surprise flashed across the Den Den Mushi's eyes, and its two rows of white teeth appeared one above the other. "There are still people you can't get information out of. That's really rare."

"Oh dear~ I'm going to be sad if you say that."

……

The games in the gaming area all revolve around gambling, but the variety and scale are much greater than in a typical gambling den.

While they were in the car, Bakara handed them a box of G-coins, which are the exclusive currency of Grantesoro. They are similar to Berries, but one coin is equal to one million Berries. There are a thousand coins in the box, which is one billion.

"Brother, do we have this many Berries on our ship?" These were just temporary loans from Bakara, and the balance would be settled when they left.

Katakuri sensed something was wrong when he saw Katakuri take out a few G-coins from the box, looking eager to try them out.

"No, you can pledge yourself here." That would be worth eight or nine hundred million.

Thirty-seven degrees Celsius spoke icy words, and Cracker's heart turned ice-cold. He was already thinking of losing all his G-coins, preferably even losing money, and then using Katakuri as collateral.

Anyway, Katakuri is valuable, so if we leave him here, we might be able to spend some more time with Yuta.

Cracker's eyes gleamed with shrewdness, and Katakuri knew he had some wicked ideas.

"You can choose to win." This kid actually had his eye on him...

Those words were a wake-up call!

"That's right! Brother, can you help me?" With his Observation Haki, gambling is no easy feat; he's made everyone else lose their underwear!

Katakuri, "..."

Isn't that cheating? Doing that on You's turf isn't very appropriate.

Katakuri chose Yu over Cracker.

Let the younger brother do whatever he wants; he'll only step in to help if things get really bad.

In the grandstand of the racetrack, Katakuri's tall figure stood out among the spectators, making him a presence that was hard to ignore.

He was originally standing at the very front watching Cracker's match, but when the audience saw him, many of them instinctively moved away.

The stands were empty after the winning streak.

People only gathered around me after the race on the lower track started.

Most pirates in the New World know this leader of the Big Mom Pirates' three Sweet Commanders, but those in the Grand Line are unaware of him. However, they wouldn't actively provoke him, as he seems unapproachable.

People come here to have fun; who would want to make themselves miserable?

So they managed to avoid it all.

Unable to resist the passion of the competition, he also remembered that grantesoro had rules against physical violence.

With that in mind, no one paid attention to anything else. As a result, there were no empty seats left in the audience next to Katakuri.

There were eight cars on the track, and Cracker was the driver of one of them.

The only rule of the game is that you cannot hurt your opponent.

Therefore, in order to win, contestants will use all sorts of methods to eliminate their competitors, that is, to make them fly off the track.

Before the race even started, Cracker was already looking arrogant, gripping the steering wheel with one hand and holding a pretzel in the other, which he carried on his right shoulder.

The scars on his face made him seem like someone you didn't want to mess with, and his arrogant smile only made him seem more like someone who deserved a beating.

Katakuri wasn't surprised at all. His younger brother might act foolishly in front of them, but he always behaved in a manner befitting their mother's status as one of the Four Emperors in public.

Of course, Cracker's strength isn't solely due to his mother being one of the Four Emperors.

In any case, judging from the other eight players on the field, none of them would be a match for Cracker.

The race began, and all eight cars sped off simultaneously, none giving way to the others.

However, there are only two short tracks to enter, and if we don't compete now, it will only make the rest of the race more difficult.

Cracker is no good boy; the principle of "I won't mess with others unless they mess with me" doesn't apply to him.

Since it's a competition, the first move is always the best policy.

But he wasn't the only one with this idea; other contestants thought the same way.

The car behind caught up and came to a stop alongside Cracker, but that wasn't enough. Cracker's car was on the outer edge and could easily go out of bounds.

The car parked next to him on the inside also thought of this and deliberately rammed outwards, trying to knock the car out of bounds.

The people on the bus wore fierce expressions and silently mocked Cracker.

The light blades sliced ​​through the air between the two cars, and the pretzel, wielded by the cracker, separated the front and rear of the cars.

Losing the support of the rear wheels, the front half of the car made straight contact with the track, leaving a trail of sparks. In the end, the car rolled over, taking the two cars following closely behind with it and eliminating them from the race.

"What an idiot." Cracker slung the pretzel back over his shoulder, mocking mercilessly.
