One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 84 You've Become a Woman

"That means we'll soon have a little adult!"

The slight twitching of the person at the bow of the boat proved that he heard everything clearly, but he was in no mood to correct them or shut them up.

I ran my hand over the areas on my body that You had touched and scratched. Strangely, the sensation was odd, and I felt a ticklish feeling inside.

His ears, face, and body were all burning hot. It wasn't that he hadn't been close to You before; they'd even slept together in each other's arms, but tonight...

"Kari...don't die...don't leave me alone..." As Yu clung to him from behind, all he could hear was her soft murmur...

As he listened and was touched, he started to get hot... Katakuri always thought he had great self-control, but just now his rationality was almost overwhelmed.

"Karnoh, I'm not an adult yet." He thought of that sentence.

How long until I become an adult...?

Katakuri held the crystal in his hand, as if asking it a question, but this time, the crystal did not respond with a faint glow.

When the sun was high in the sky, Katakuri entered Yu's room and pulled back the cabin curtain. Blinding sunlight streamed in, with several beams landing precisely on the headboard.

"Ugh..." Stimulated by the sunlight, Yu struggled to open her eyes.

What came into view was a figure bathed in light walking towards her, gradually getting closer and closer until the figure became clearer.

"Kaki 2..."

"Awake?" I sat down on the edge of the bed, smoothed her hair that was scattered on the pillow, and reached out to rub her cheeks along her long hair.

Yu turned her head away, "She's not awake, she's still dreaming, otherwise how would you be here?"

Her tone was reproachful, so she seemed to be awake, but still angry about last night. "When I found you on Shane Illusion Island, Shamo Jiu was also there. He told me that I needed to give you some stimulation to turn you back. Last night was just the right time. It won't happen again next time."

"It's all an excuse..." Yu was still sulking. Now that both of them were alright and she had returned to her original self, she was still a little angry. "So that pet ring couldn't control you?"

"To be precise, it can be controlled, but only for a moment."

“He told you to throw me away, and I was wondering why you were so gentle in putting me down and making sure I was standing before letting go.” You pouted. “I thought it was because your gentleness was ingrained in your bones, but when you were controlled by the Drunken Fruit last time and tried to strangle me, you weren’t gentle at all.”

Katakuri sighed helplessly, still holding a grudge. "Back then, I had only known you for a short time, but as we spent more time together, you became a special person to me. I couldn't bear to see you get hurt in the slightest, and even I couldn't hurt you."

"You choose to scare me to death instead of hurting me. You're all smooth talk and two-faced. Drag you out and throw you into the sea to fend for yourself, humph!"

"You're willing to do that?" Katakuri raised an eyebrow. Was he so angry that he wanted to kill her? "If you're willing, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

Yu had just woken up and was a little disgusted by Katakuri's cloying taste and excessive sugar content. "Patients need to rest, and the environment and people around them should be bland. It can't be so greasy and sugary."

Since he was in the mood to banter and joke, it seemed like he was alright. Katakuri was relieved, but Yu's words still made him laugh. "Get up and wash up. I asked the chef to prepare some food; you haven't eaten for almost 18 hours."

Katakuri helped the so-called patient, who still wanted to lie in bed, up and told her to change her clothes and wash up.

"Carry me over there," You ordered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Katakuri didn't move, and asked helplessly, "Where's your leg?"

"It's broken." Even though they were in the wrong, they were still defiant.

"..." If it's broken, then he'll reluctantly become her means of transportation.

Yu just wanted to take the opportunity to get some Katakuri, "I had a dream last night."

"Tell me about it."

"Your waist has gotten thinner, your breasts have gotten bigger, and they feel different to the touch." He poked the muscles explaining, summarizing the dream, "You've become a woman."

"..." It wasn't a dream, but suddenly he felt that selling Pralinne was the right thing to do. How much of a rip-off had he suffered since then? But before Pralinne, it seemed he had been taken advantage of just as much.

“It’s Pralinene. I’m handing you over to her so she can change your clothes.”

"Oh, what a pity..." He sighed, tracing circles on his muscles with his fingers.

Katakuri chuckled. "Are you looking down on me?"

"Well, not really."

Yu withdrew her hand, held the toothbrush, faced the mirror, and pondered as she looked at the two figures, "It doesn't matter if it's you or not, it's a different experience."

They're still minors, but they have a lot of ideas despite their young age.

Katakuri felt he needed to teach Yu a lesson, so he gave him a light flick on the forehead—to exaggerate, he just lightly flicked it.

"It needs to be cleaned up."

Having just finished brushing her teeth and spitting out the water, she playfully stuck out her tongue. "What about Pralinne?" Yu hadn't forgotten her gossip.

"Wash your face first, I'll tell you when we eat."

It has to be said that having something interesting to keep you in suspense makes things much faster, and even a broken leg can be reattached on its own.

Yu jumped onto the wooden board, bent down, and quickly washed her face. Then she dashed to the bedroom, Katakuri following closely behind. Just as Katakuri stepped out of the bathroom, Yu was already dressed.

The two switched places, and it was Yu's turn to shove Katakuri. He sat down at the table, picked up a sandwich, and waited for Katakuri to speak.

When Katakuri's eyes were no longer visible, he secretly rolled them slightly upwards and told her about Praline's news from yesterday and this morning.

The person opposite waits for you to say something, takes a bite of sandwich and a sip of milk, and repeats this cycle.

Yu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her smile widened, but it wasn't because the sandwich was so delicious.

Katakuri finally finished his story, and Yu finished eating. It's quite curious how something so ordinary could seem to conjure up such a dramatic scene in Yu's mind.

"Shushou, look at the way you are now."

"I'm happy for her. She's found someone she likes. That's wonderful!"

But thinking about Lola, Yu wasn't so happy anymore. "What do you think will happen if Big Mom finds out?"

“Mom won’t know,” Katakuri explained. “Besides, we’re leaving today, and they won’t have anything to do with each other anymore.”

“I don’t believe it. I think they will definitely be together!” Yu said firmly.

"why?"

"There's no reason why, because those who truly like and love each other will never be separated by distance!" Yu said, expressing her true feelings. "Kari, let's make a bet."

"What are you gambling?"

“I bet Praline will be with Aladdin, but I haven’t decided on the stakes yet.”

"I'll be watching." The old Katakuri might not have believed it, but now he was somewhat moved. He guessed that the winner of this bet would be the confident and determined Yu standing before him.

He was eager to know what the blockage would be...
