One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 52 You're playing her, aren't you? Get out of here!

"Lord Katakuri, we have now entered the East Blue!" The chess soldier saluted and reported the voyage to Katakuri.

"Huh, why are we in the East China Sea?"

Pudding remembered that her brother's sea voyage missions did not include the East China Sea; he couldn't possibly take a long detour just to enjoy the scenery.

Brulee snorted and said sourly, "What else could it be? It must be Yu's unreasonable request." Katakuri, that's really something. Doesn't he have any missions to do? All he does is satisfy Yu. Why doesn't he satisfy his cute little sister?

"Where's Yu-neechan?" Pudding hadn't seen her since morning. "Shouldn't she be the most excited?"

"Who knows?" Hmph, taking advantage of her brother's favor to act so recklessly, not even bothering to tell him where she's going.

That's a very good question. Katakuri hadn't seen her either. He searched her rooms, he searched the kitchen, but there was no sign of her anywhere on the ship.

people!

Earlier that night, when he went out to practice secretly, Yu had already run off alone according to the direction of Shanks' Vivre Card.

First of all, she would absolutely not let Katakuri go with her. If a fight broke out, it would be bad for her to side with either of them, and it would also be bad if she didn't help at all.

Sailing across the sea is just a bit strenuous.

Yu was traveling at a fast speed, and Shanks and his crew had already left Windmill Village and were sailing towards the East Sea. When Yu arrived at their ship, it was still dark.

The crew on duty immediately became alert; someone was attacking their pirate crew in the distance, and they were ready to meet them.

Unexpectedly, there was a "thud" sound as something fell to the ground on the deck.

Seeing no reaction, they boldly stepped forward to investigate and found that it was actually one person! This person was moving at such a high speed, could it be that he didn't notice their pirate ship and accidentally crashed into it and passed out?

"Wake up?"

"She seems to have fainted? What should we do? Should we tell the captain?"

"The captain and the others have already drunk too much and are fast asleep. Even if you go now, he won't pay any attention to you!"

"What should I do?"

"Tie her up first."

And so, Yu was bound hand and foot to the wooden barrel. These people were lucky, but Shanks wasn't so fortunate.

"Shanks! You come out here!"

Throughout the entire ship and even outwards, all that could be heard was You's loud roar! You had used all the energy from a good night's sleep to roar out loud.

Shanks's gotten arrogant; he's become audacious, daring to treat me like this. They haven't seen each other for only a few years, and he's treating her by tying her up!

"The captain is still drunk and asleep! You can't wake him!"

He had never seen this crew member before, nor did he know her, so he had no idea about her relationship with Shanks and the others. He just noticed that she had been tied up all night and looked quite tired when she woke up in the morning.

"Can't wake him?" This guy, he's been drinking again! Such a huge incident and he's still completely drunk. "Shanks! I'm telling you, get out here right now!"

"Who is it... making such a racket..." A swaying figure stumbled out of the cabin, with red hair and a flushed face.

Shanks walked up to Yu in a daze, blinked, and just when Yu thought he would recognize him.

"...who?"

"..." If looks could kill, Shanks would be ashes by now.

Yuuka has never been a kind person to Shanks, not even since she met him as a child.

"Then take a good look at who I am!" With a "Duang," Shanks was slammed into the sea, along with the barrel he was tied to.

"Captain!" One by one, they rushed to the side of the ship, looking at Shanks struggling in the water.

"Hahaha," Lachiru was gnawing on a big piece of meat early in the morning, which was practically an extra dish for him, given that You was angrily hitting the captain.

"Yu, what brings you here?" Beckman also came out, walked to Yu's side, and untied the ropes binding her.

Yu stretched her arms and glared at Lachiru. "Hmph, all she does is eat. She doesn't even bother to untie her. Beckman is the gentlest of all."

"The captain's still drunk; falling into the sea is no joke," Yasopp reminded Yu.

"You seem so worried, would you like me to take you downstairs?"

"Haha, no, only the captain gets that treatment."

Yu was genuinely furious. With Shanks' abilities, even if he was completely drunk, how could he not know that she had arrived last night? And he even let his crew tie her up and make her spend the night outside. Did he really think she was stupid? This guy was clearly playing with her.

The three people next to her are no good either. They haven't seen her in so long, and instead of welcoming her, they've ganged up on her to make a fool of her.

Wait and see, we won't let any of them down!

Yu is very angry, and the consequences will be severe!

"Oh! It's Yu! Long time no see!" Shanks thrashed around a few times, sobering up as well.

Youcai didn't believe him. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at him leisurely. "Sober now? No more pretending?"

"Oh dear, I drank too much yesterday. Thank goodness you helped me sober up. Now that you're here, let's have a welcome party to celebrate!"

Shanks is never serious, and even though some time has passed since the Eregia incident, he acts like nothing happened.

That's right, that's Shanks for you, nothing can defeat him!

Yu stopped making things difficult for him, beckoned, and a pillar of sea lifted Shanks up. "Compensation for messing with me is another matter!"

"Haha, I know, I know."

It turns out the captain and this man knew each other; it was all a misunderstanding. Since there's a banquet, we certainly can't spoil the fun.

The captains raised their glasses one by one to toast with Yu, and Yu never refused.

"Hey, hey, hey, drink less. How old are you?"

Seeing that You had drunk quite a bit, they stopped the rest of the people who wanted to drink with you.

“I can drink now. When you were my age, I drank who knows how much every day.”

Yu wanted to snatch the glass of wine back and continue drinking, but Shanks wouldn't allow it. The two silently gestured with their hands, but in the end, Yu managed to grab it again.

"You've improved quite a bit."

"Of course, I have a bounty on my head now."

"Haha, that little girl from back then has grown up. Have you practiced the swordsmanship I taught you? Not everyone gets this treatment."

"Of course, it would be a waste not to practice such a top-secret sword technique."

Shanks suddenly fell silent. He gently patted Yu's head, silently comforting him.

Yu had originally intended to ask Shanks about Eregia, but seeing his sudden silence, she seemed to understand something. Just like Shanks understood when he heard her practicing her swordsmanship.

The two of them scratched their heads, tacitly avoiding mentioning each other.

"By the way, how come you're missing an arm? Who's that strong enough to hurt you these days?"

"This is a sad thing," Lachiru said.

Jesus preached: "The captain was... alas."

Beckman, nudged by the two men, reluctantly joined in, saying, "Captain, you can say the rest yourself."

"My arm..." A sudden wave of sadness washed over her, but the next second, "Want to know? I won't tell you. Hehehe."

These four guys, are they itching for a beating? Haven't had enough fun yet?

Yu gritted her teeth, her fists clenched tightly, and she said with barely suppressed force, "You're messing with me, aren't you? Get out of here, all of you!"

Vines that suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the deck threw all four people, without exception, into the sea.

"The captain has gone ashore again..."

"Beckman, Lachero, even Yasopp has gone down..."

"Forget it, don't worry about it. You know the captain's personality; he can be quite childish sometimes."

Sometimes I just want to cause trouble and get beaten up.

The crew shook their heads, saying that the captain and his three crew members had brought this upon themselves by being pushed overboard.

(It's been added, there's still half left, haha. I'm so curious about the author, why do the comments always seem to think the ending will be a bad one? And very angsty at that?)
