One Piece: It's always been you

Chapter 91 Do you really know who my grandfather is?

Yu knew that Katakuri was never one to go back on his word. If he said something, he would definitely do it.

The Navy doesn't have a tradition of mass burials, and even though Rosinante's brother is a Navy lieutenant commander, there wouldn't be any exceptions. But Yu believes that Sengoku's grandfather would definitely not ignore it.

So Yu guessed that after the navy found her brother's body, they took it back for burial. As for where it was buried, she didn't know; she'd have to ask her grandfather.

But if we ask, there's a very high chance Grandpa will show up. If Grandpa and Katakuri run into each other then, things will get complicated.

Yu still felt it was unrealistic, and felt a pang of self-reproach and shame. Whole Cake Island's voyages were strictly recorded. Katakuri had no missions during this period, so theoretically he shouldn't have been able to go to sea.

Even Perospero was shocked when he suddenly learned that Katakuri was going to sea. His exact words at the time were, "Mom didn't assign any missions, how do you explain your sudden departure?"

Katakuri had come up with a reason, but Yu rejected it.

She did miss her brother, that's true, but being in Whole Cake Island meant she had no choice in what she did, and she didn't want Katakuri to be in a difficult position.

Another reason is that Yu's opinion of the old lady has changed a little, but it is limited to the old lady when she was sick and her own expectations of the old lady.

She remembered Katakuri's words very well. It's best not to have too high expectations.

"Are you really going to take me out to sea?" Yu asked, slurping up a mouthful of hot ramen, hiding behind the bowl with a hint of self-reproach.

Katakuri looked at Yu, whose face was half-covered and whose big eyes were blinking, and could only feel helpless. "Hmm."

“The rules for World of Warcraft going overseas are strict, but as long as the reason is appropriate and it’s for the development of World of Warcraft, Mom won’t have any major objections,” Katakuri explained first, adding that the consequences weren’t as severe as Perospero had suggested.

Yu wasn't that she didn't believe Katakuri's words. She just felt that her presence would make the old woman think a lot.

In particular, there's a child named Flampe in Cake Town who gossips about her, and Celluloid who wants to kill her.

"I don't know where my brother is buried either. If I want to find out, I'll have to contact Grandpa..." Yu said the last few words softly. That was her Admiral Sengoku, her grandfather!

"Are you afraid you'll run into your grandfather and get arrested and taken back?"

Yu looked troubled. "Are you saying I'll be taken back, or you?"

"Do you think I don't even have the ability to escape?" It felt like I was being underestimated.

Yu really wanted to say yes, after all, Katakuri hadn't seemed particularly powerful when they went to sea together. She'd suspected for a long time that Katakuri's bounty didn't match his strength.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the courage to say it.

"No, it's just..." Yu originally wanted to say that she trusted her grandfather's abilities more, but then felt that it wasn't quite right.

He moved closer to Katakuri, changed his approach, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really know who my grandfather is?"

The photo of Yu on the wanted poster is a cropped image of three people together. You can see that there are two other people next to Yu, but no one knows who they are or what their identities are.

What can you tell from just two arms, one on the left and one on the right, dressed in ordinary clothes?

The Big Mom Pirates are very well-informed. Katakuri has met Kuzan and Sakazuki, and can glean some information from their conversation with Yu.

But Yu felt that Katakuri might have guessed his grandfather's identity wrong.

"The Warring States Period of Buddhism".

Four simple words left Yu and Katakuri looking at each other in bewilderment.

That's not wrong, but how can he be so confident in himself? Who gave him the courage?

Katakuri didn't expect his answer to make Yu look even more incredulous. "Am I really that weak?" To be honest, he was a little angry.

"Mmm!" Yu nodded emphatically three times. "You really want me to get arrested?" Katakuri was starting to question his existence.

"No, I just think Grandpa is more capable," Yu added. "Every time we go out to sea, I feel like I save you more often."

My grandfather was an admiral in the Navy and had great prestige; Katakuri was the head of the three generals in Whole Cake Island and also had great prestige.

But compared to the results that Yu witnessed firsthand, Grandpa is still more impressive!

"..." It seems to be true, but it's not quite. Never mind, I don't want to say any more.

Katakuri didn't speak, and Yu didn't continue. Perhaps because pirates are somewhat obsessed with strength, Yu felt it was best not to discourage Katakuri.

Katakuri sat to one side with his eyes closed, while Yu carefully slurped his noodles, not daring to make much noise, but his eyes kept glancing at him.

That might hurt his pride, and he'd feel quite embarrassed.

A knock came from the living room door. Then the door opened, followed by increasingly loud footsteps.

Who would come to Xiaomaidao to look for them at this time?

"Katakuri, Mom needs to see you."

Before he even appeared, his voice arrived first. The familiar, languid tone, tinged with a playful smirk, belonged to Perospero.

When Perospero entered the restaurant, it was a somewhat awkward scene.

The atmosphere between the two was a little too quiet, making him, the outsider, seem noisy. "You guys... I really want to avoid this, but I guess I won't, kukukuku~"

"What's wrong, Mom?" Katakuri opened his eyes and asked Perospero, already ready to get up and leave at any moment.

"It's nothing serious." The lollipop cane waved up and down at Katakuri, signaling him not to worry. "However, I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Yu."

Yu Gang, who had just been called out for no reason, had just slurped up a big mouthful of noodles. When he heard the old lady calling him, he swallowed the whole thing without even chewing it, and then started coughing.

"Don't get so excited. Mom seems to be in a good mood, so it can't be anything bad." Perospero was used to it; everyone in the Kingdom of Wan was afraid of their mothers, including himself. He wondered if his perfect younger brother was the same.

Anyway, he knew that Yu definitely wasn't it.

Yu had no interest in listening to the rest.

"Peros-nii, what's going on?" Katakuri asked Perospero, while handing Yu a glass of water and a tissue.

"Mom wants You to make her dessert." Even long bread has fallen out of favor.

……

Katakuri never expected that his mother would become addicted after eating this once during a food craving episode.

Katakuri was worried about Yuu running into his mother, but he couldn't directly refuse her request, as doing so would only make her angry.

Fortunately, Perospero said that Mom was in a good mood, and Mom couldn't find fault with Yu's cooking.

After finally recovering, Yu raised her hand timidly and asked, "Um... what will happen if I refuse?"

"Do you want to give it a try?" Seeing Perospero's amused tone and interested look, Yu gave up the idea.

Okay, let's just say I'm hired to be a cook for a giant baby who's a ticking time bomb. It's not that difficult! After all, Yu is the one who conquered all the Marines at Marine Headquarters with her culinary skills!

These are all minor matters.

"Mommom~Mommom~" The old lady seemed to be in a really good mood. "I never expected that you, Yu, could surpass all those chefs who make long bread. I still crave the desserts from before."

As she spoke, she licked her bright red lips with her pink tongue, her eyes sparkling, looking completely different from how Yu had seen her before.

On the road, he was always on edge, worrying about this and that, but when he actually faced the situation, he handled it with ease, showing a complete polarization.

"Should I make Italian crepes again today?" Yu could tell that the older woman really wanted to eat them, so she decided to get straight to the point. "Or something else?" Just in case she didn't want it, she wanted to ask one more question.
