One Piece: The Living Devil Chapter 136: Hesitation

Ding~ Ding~

Just as Princess Titi was still deep in thought, a sound suddenly rang out from outside the palace gates.

Princess Titi hurriedly looked up, flustered, and looked toward Gion.

No matter who ca at this ti, if they happened to see Gion, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

But when she looked up, she found that Gion had already disappeared, which made her let out a sigh of relief.

Although Princess Titi had never seen Gion in action, Gion was recognized by the world as the number one great swordsman. Rampaging through Arabasta should not be a problem for her.

"Who is it?", When the palace doors were pushed open, Princess Titi had already regained her usual composure, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was displeased with the sudden visitor.

Because she was preparing to receive Rosse, she had sent all her maids to help in the banquet hall. In theory, before Rosse and Cobra returned, no one should be coming here.

Under Princess Titi's gaze, the palace doors were slowly pushed open by a pair of large hands.

"Princess, it's ."

Seeing the plump figure of the visitor, Princess Titi's frown deepened, "Terracotta? Why are you here?"

Terracotta was Igaram's wife. The two looked very similar. Both had a plump and burly appearance.

She knew Terracotta; Terracotta was the head chef of the palace and should not be appearing here at this mont.

"Princess, I deeply apologize for disturbing your rest," Terracotta slightly bowed, an apologetic look on her face.

She actually didn't want to co either, but recently, Igaram, perhaps due to too much ntal pressure, had suddenly developed a habit of talking in his sleep.

At first, Terracotta didn't think much of it.

But a few days ago, she suddenly heard Igaram say in his sleep that Princess Titi might be involved with the prince who was coming, and that even the child in her belly might be related to him, that made Terracotta unable to sit still anymore.

If this matter were true, it would absolutely shake the entire Arabasta.

Such a matter, she had to confirm.

"Terracotta, have you finished preparing the delicacies for today's banquet?", Princess Titi was not oblivious to reading people's expressions. Seeing Terracotta looking like she had sothing to say but was holding back, she knew Terracotta probably had sothing difficult to deal with.

At this, Princess Titi felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.

"Princess, most of it is already prepared, just waiting for that Celestial Dragon to attend the banquet. This is still my first ti preparing a banquet for a Celestial Dragon, so I'm a bit at a loss," Terracotta showed a troubled expression.

"In this regard, I probably can't be of much help," Princess Titi frowned.

Terracotta hurriedly lowered her head, shaking it repeatedly as she explained, "No, Princess. You and His Majesty the King have been to the Holy Land, so I wanted to ask if there are any particular customs the Celestial Dragons have. I'm afraid of poor hospitality."

She acted very normal. After all, the Celestial Dragons were notoriously evil, grabbing people to be slaves at the slightest provocation. Even without the issue regarding Princess Titi, she herself was scared.

"Princess, if because of poor hospitality I get caught by the Celestial Dragon and turned into a slave, what would I do then?"

"Pfft...", A soft laugh ca from behind Princess Titi. If Gion hadn't really held it back, she wouldn't have burst into laughter.

But seeing Terracotta's 200 × 200 figure, Gion thought of how she would look standing beside Rosse, and just found it especially funny.

Rosse was a complete looks person; he couldn't make a move on anyone even slightly ugly. Even the slaves had to be beautiful won, this was sothing she knew all too well.

Even if Terracotta offered herself, Rosse probably wouldn't be able to get it up.

"Princess... this...", Terracotta, hearing the laughter, uncomfortably looked up at Princess Titi, 'Is this sothing to laugh at?'

The laughter ca from Princess Titi's direction. She had just been bowing her head, so she didn't think much of it.

Princess Titi helplessly pretended to hold back her laughter, and now she knew where Gion was hiding, turned out she was hidden behind her.

"Terracotta, no need to worry about these matters. That prince is not an especially bad Celestial Dragon. As long as you treat him with sincerity, he'll be satisfied. He prefers to eat fish, but doesn't like fish bones," Princess Titi explained.

"Ah? As expected of the Princess, you really know so much," Terracotta's heart thumped, 'Princess Titi knows so much about that prince, it feels very suspicious.'

'Perhaps, what Igaram said might actually be true.'

"I spent a few days with him and talked about a few related things," Princess Titi was already sensitive by nature. She imdiately noticed Terracotta's small reactions and her expression flickered slightly.

When Terracotta ca earlier, she had already suspected whether Terracotta knew sothing.

Through these awkward exchanges just now, she had more or less confird that Terracotta indeed knew sothing.

This made her feel very troubled.

Terracotta was the palace's head chef, and her husband Igaram was also Cobra's most trusted person.

And Princess Titi thought of sothing deeper. The fact that Terracotta knew about this ant Igaram had doubts in his heart. Otherwise, Terracotta, who didn't even go to Drum Island with her, wouldn't have had any reason to be suspicious.

Suddenly, Gion's voice rang directly in Princess Titi's mind, ["Do you need to make a move? If she walks out of this room, you might be in danger."]

["Before coming, Saint Rosse specifically instructed . If your matter is found out, it ultimately depends on your decision."]

["If you feel it doesn't matter, as long as the girl is safe, then we won't do anything. But if it affects the girl, Saint Rosse will kill everyone who knows the truth except you. By then, it won't just be one or two people who die."]

These words, Rosse had indeed told Gion.

Sending Gion to the palace first was also to check on Princess Titi's situation. In case the matter had already been discovered by Cobra, then Gion would need to investigate and prepare for a rescue.

Although Rosse didn't need heirs to inherit his estate, if soone dared to touch his woman or child, they would have to face his revenge.

"This...", Princess Titi hesitated.

She knew this matter absolutely couldn't get out. Even suspicion alone was best not to exist.

But if sothing happened to Terracotta right now, it could cause a chain reaction, that was sothing she didn't want to see.

Moreover, with her kind heart, she really didn't want to kill the innocent Terracotta.

"Princess, do you have sothing you want to say?", Terracotta noticed Princess Titi's abnormality, her eyes moved slightly, and she quickly asked.

She recalled the terrible stories about the Celestial Dragons. Maybe Princess Titi wasn't willing, but was forced into doing sothing none of them wanted to see. Otherwise, Igaram wouldn't be like that.

Even if it couldn't be seen on the surface, Terracotta and Igaram shared a bed. She knew clearly when sothing was bothering him.

This was also the reason she had co to Princess Titi this ti.

While Cobra and Rosse hadn't arrived yet, she had to make the seriousness of the matter clear. She couldn't let Princess Titi continue doing sothing foolish.
