One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Chapter 197 Dessert Shop

Most of Uta's abilities come from the Song Fruit and Totemjika, so they are different from ordinary Haki.

She can "hear" that something is "special" and can even determine its corresponding "tendency", but she cannot know exactly what it is.

Just like now.

Facing this remote dessert shop, Uta could hear the "specialness" in it, but could not accurately assert what was special about it.

Is it the food? smell? Creative?

Or, one of the "guests".

…

he--

Charlotte Katakuri.

The possessor of overlord color and domineering spirit.

One of the Four Emperors, the second son of [Aunt] Charlotte Lingling.

At the same time, he is also the leader of the "Four Dessert Generals" of the Big Mom Pirates, and a superhuman glutinous fruit capable user.

Excellent fruit development, amazing domineering talent, and extremely strong fighting qualities.

The combination of the three made Katakuri quickly become famous on the sea, and the bounty on his head soared.

Now, he already has a super high bounty of 900 million Berry!

There is no doubt that Katakuri is the core figure of the Charlotte family and the pillar and second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates.

He is extremely powerful and has never been defeated in his life. He is even hailed as the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family.

Aloof and cold, wise and brave, calm and collected...

No matter how you describe Katakuri, it seems that it is not an exaggeration, because he himself is a 'perfect' existence!

…

However, even though he is so "perfect", he has an unknown secret in private.

He is extremely addicted to sweets and eats crudely, believing that sugar is the source of strength.

In fact, Katakuri will arrange a fixed afternoon tea time to eat snacks and relax alone, and will not forget it even during the battle.

This passion for desserts even caused Katakuri to burst her mouth from eating donuts when she was a child, eventually leaving traces of stitches on both sides of her mouth.

…

As a teenager, his sister Charlotte Bray was bullied by Katakuri for going her own way.

Katakuri began to cover his mouth with a scarf and became taciturn.

For the sake of his loved ones, he has always acted "absolutely perfect".

…

The above is the information in Lindsay's mind.

Time returns to the present.

Lindsay and others saw Katakuri in the corner of the dessert shop through the glass window.

The people present, especially Margao and Crocodile, couldn't help but get very excited.

Of course they recognized Katakuri and understood how strong that man was.

Such a troublesome guy would suddenly appear here? !

"[Aunt]'s second in command..."

Margo rubbed his chin and murmured: "Is he the one who has plans for Fish-Man Island? Could it be that this is the base of the Big Mom Pirates?"

Crocodile shook his head and said: "The Pirates are not government agents, so there is no need to bother doing this."

The two looked at each other, each seeing deep confusion in the other.

Suddenly, Lindsay emerged from the two of them.

It was not an option to keep these two guessing, so Lindsay expressed her opinion——

"Maybe he's here for dessert?"

"..."

"puff!"

As soon as these words came out, both Crocodile and Margao couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

Apparently, they didn't believe a word of what Lindsay said.

"Hehehehe..."

Crocodile waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you are a pirate, it is better to be simple and direct."

His ideas are simple and crude.

From a purely power point of view, the Whitebeard Pirates are on par with the Big Mom Pirates, and both sides are evenly matched.

Now that the Whitebeard Pirates have added [Devils], they will naturally overwhelm the Big Mom Pirates.

Crocodile believed that Katakuri would understand this and would not dare to take action easily.

So the initiative is on your side!

Apparently, Margao had the same idea.

The two of them acted at the same time, stepped into the dessert shop, and went straight to the table where Katakuri was sitting.

"..."

…

the other side.

Lindsay stood at the door of the store, watching Crocodile and Margao enter.

Look at Uta on the left;

Look at Robin on the right.

The two little girls are also preparing for a head-on conflict with the second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates.

Seeing this scene, Lindsay simply stretched out her hands, rubbed their heads and said with a grin: "Let's go."

"Where to go?"

The two little girls immediately cheered up.

But Lindsay's answer really made them confused.

"Go get dessert."

Lindsay stretched out her finger and said slightly mysteriously: "The dessert recommended by the Big Mom Pirates, don't you want to try it?"

…

Jingle Bell!

Lindsay led the two little girls and walked into the dessert shop.

This shop is indeed a very secret one. There are only five of them in the group, plus Katakuri.

The store manager is an old fish-woman, much older than Miss Cocoro from Tom's Studio.

She hunched her body and showed the desserts on the counter to the three customers.

Robin and Utta each chose their favorite cakes, and Lindsay also ordered a four-pack donut set.

The three of them carried their own desserts and walked all the way to Katakuri's side.

Crocodile and Margao had already sat down first.

They looked at Katakuri.

Katakuri had a cup of black tea in front of him, still covering his face with a scarf, and his eyes showed a permeable aura.

A gloomy and tense atmosphere filled the air, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression and even distorting the surrounding air!

However, such an unfriendly atmosphere was broken by the next three people.

They took their respective dessert plates and took a step back to sit at the table.

Utta and Robin were still a little nervous, but because of Alvin Lindsay's presence, the two little girls quickly shifted their attention.

They began to taste the desserts, and little stars soon appeared in their eyes.

"tasty!"

“Awesome!”

"..."

Lindsay also swallowed a donut in one gulp, picked up the second one, and asked the other three adults casually.

"So, what did you talk about?"

"..."

No one responded.

In fact, they didn't talk about anything.

After Katakuri saw the two people who came first, he faintly exuded a terrifying aura, as if he was wary of something, without even the slightest thought of negotiating.

"really?"

Crocodile held the unlit cigar in his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that they don't want to negotiate with us, so they are so vigilant..."

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it."

Margao smiled and turned to ask Katakuri, "Long time no see."

Katakuri: "..."

He still had no intention of answering, but just stared at the surroundings, especially Alvin Lindsay.

"Hey, that's so cold."

Margao spread his hands, "But Fish-Man Island is our territory after all. If the Big Mom Pirates appear here, they have to give the Whitebeard Pirates an explanation, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Katakuri finally reacted.

He lowered his arms and said solemnly: "The desserts on Fishman Island are very famous, and my mother likes them very much, so I came to help my sister buy desserts."

"..."

"puff!"

As soon as these words came out, Crocodile and Margao laughed out loud again.

Although it is very clear that the other party will never tell the truth, the reason for such perfunctory is indeed a bit boring.

"It seems there is no way to communicate -"

Uh-huh!

Before Crocodile finished speaking, he saw Katakuri suddenly stand up.

This move made Crocodile and Margao immediately alert, and their spirits suddenly shook.

Katakuri's face was extremely gloomy and he said, "It's not convenient to talk here, so find another place!"

"..."

Hearing this, Crocodile and Margao nodded.

The three of them left.
