One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 20 Yu Knows Her Brother's Secret

Yu followed closely behind Brulee until Brulee stopped in front of a mirror, touched the surface of the mirror, and gestured for Yu to come in. Although Yu was curious, she didn't ask and walked over.

"This is...your ability? You're in charge of all these mirrors?" Yu was immediately drawn to the world in the mirror, forgetting all her fear of Brulee.

"I am a user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit."

"What a convenient ability. By the way, does this connect to all nations or the whole world?" Yu thought that this ability might be very convenient for finding Luo in the future, and she could also see him without his knowledge.

Bruy didn't speak, walking quietly ahead, and Yu could only see her slender and tall back.

"You and Katakuri are very close?" Yu seemed to want to start a conversation with Brulee for some reason, perhaps because there was a Katakuri connection between the two of them.

"Katakuri is the most perfect older brother. He takes good care of us, so naturally we have a very good relationship."

“You seem to be different from others in Katakuri’s heart. He said that I am very similar to you, but he didn’t say exactly how we are similar.”

As Brûlée spoke, she turned to face Yu, who looked up at her lazily and shrugged in response.

Yu was just telling the truth, and it's better to clarify things now than to explain them later. Now that he's in the Big Mom Pirates, he needs to build a good relationship with them.

"I'm not so timid that I'd hide whenever I see someone." Brûlée turned and continued walking. Would she resemble the person in front of her? What was her brother thinking?

"I was..." You started to say, but then stopped explaining. Never mind, there's no point in explaining.

The two of them went back to their previous state, neither of them speaking, walking one after the other.

Soon, they arrived at the mirror where Katakuri was. Brûlée glanced at it, then suddenly turned her head and covered the mirror with her body, preventing Yu from seeing outside.

"Katakuri is here? Then let me out."

"No, my brother has something to do right now, you can't go out."

"?" What could possibly make someone so nervous?

Yu didn't believe Katakuri was in trouble; all the ministers had returned to their respective islands, and it was so late, no one would come looking for him. There must be some secret. But speaking of secrets, Katakuri's biggest secret was hidden under his scarf, something Yu already knew.

Since that's the case, Yu wants to know whether it's true or not. Yu isn't just curious, no, that's not it.

Thinking this, Yu directly pulled Brulee aside. Caught off guard, Brulee found herself with an entire mirror exposed to the air behind her. In the mirror, Katakuri could be seen drinking black tea alone, without a scarf, and even half-lying down.

"Aren't you afraid of not being able to sleep if you drink black tea so late?" You focused on the black tea because she herself would have insomnia after drinking some stimulating black tea.

"What's wrong with you?" Yu looked at Katakuri in the mirror and didn't see anything wrong. But Brulee was looking at her with a look of horror, as if she were someone who surprised her. "He's fine. Let me out. I'm a little tired today and haven't had a proper rest."

"You...know Katakuri's secret?"

"A secret? You mean his mouth?" Yu found it somewhat amusing. "I know."

"Does your brother... know that you've discovered his secret?" Brulee wasn't entirely convinced.

"Otherwise what? We often eat together on the ship. Is there a problem?"

"You two even eat together?!" Brûlée stared wide-eyed at Yu as if she'd discovered a shocking secret, looking at him in disbelief. She hadn't rejected her brother because of this; she'd even accepted him and eaten with him! "Aren't you...scared?"

"Aren't you talking a bit too much?" The current Brulee is completely different from before. Yu is quite helpless, and seems to finally understand what Katakuri meant by those words.

"I know about Katakuri, that's all. There's nothing to it that you're imagining, no emotional reaction or anything like that. Do you have any other questions? Can you ask them tomorrow? I want to go out and rest." Hmph! She was so aloof just now, ignoring her friend's advances. She wasn't going to let Brûlée get all the answers she wanted.

Yu is very vengeful!

"...Then you can leave." Seeing Yu's resolute attitude, Brulee knew there was no other way. She could only let her go.

"Wait!" Yu suddenly thought of something. "Change the mirror. It seems he doesn't want anyone to know what he looks like now. Change the mirror so I can leave."

"Ah."

Brulee took Yu to another mirror, and after they left the mirror, she took Yu to Katakuri's residence on Wheat Island.

"I'm not going in. I'll come back tomorrow and question you properly. You'd better tell me the truth." Brulee warned Yu, somewhat unconvinced.

"I'm ready to serve you anytime."

Watching Brulee's departing figure, Yu realized that in some ways, she and he were very similar—both were very concerned about their brothers. Perhaps this was why Katakuri had accepted him onto the ship back then. Because he had seen a sister worrying about her brother, and as a brother with a sister himself, he couldn't ignore it.

"Knock, knock, knock," You didn't think twice and knocked on the door of Xiaomai's house. She was really tired.
