Whole Cake Island (13)
-Oi, Brulee.-
-FGAH!- Brulee suddely regained her consciousness.- Y-Yes, sister?-
-How long do you plan on dozzing off?- Katakuri sighs and points at Luffy with her thumb.- As long as you're asleep, these soldiers are stuck here. He probably thought he'd gallantly protect his crew, but look at this poor captain! Take the soldiers with you and go set fire to his ship or something. Apparently it's still undamaged.-
-I will, sister!-
-Sister Brulee! We found a mirror that can connect to the Straw Hats' ship!- Joscarpone and Mascarpone quickly ran up with a mirror in hand.- And there should be one or two more!-
-Alright, let's go! I can't wait for mama to crush them as they run about confused and terrified by the fire!-
Suddenly a strong Conqueror Haki fell on everyone. Mascarpone and Joscarpone trembled and before they could say anything, their eyes rolled back, falling to the ground unconscious like the other soldiers.
-Wha-!?- Brulee fell to the ground overwhelmed by Luffy's Haki.
-I won't allow it... I won't allow my nakamas to be harmed!- Luffy quickly got up and launched an attack against the mirror.
Katakuri launched a kick that sent Luffy to the ground, but Luffy managed to destroy the mirror at the last second.
-I haven't lost yet... Let's keep fighting, Mochi!- Luffy yelled, wriggling out of Katakuri's foot.
Katakuri frowned at him somewhat annoyed.
So that's how similar your brother is to you... Eh, Natsu?
++++++++
-Hey Katakuri!-
-Hmm?-
-If you ever face Luffy... Don't hesitate and fight him! Don't let our friendship affect you!-
-...... Why?-
-I trust that he'll survive... After all, it's Luffy!- Natsu gave her a thumbs up.
Katakuri knitted her brows upon hearing this. She feels that there is something hidden under these words, but she doesn't know what.
It's not the first time she hears the name Luffy and she doesn't know how special this "Luffy" is, who Natsu speaks so often.
Well... She will know in the future...
++++++++
-Damn it! She always attacks again in the direction I dodge to! I'm getting twice as beat!-
-Same here. People don't dodge my attacks this much. It's stressing me out.- Katakuri puts a hand on the ground.- Nagare Mochi!-
The ground turned into mochi and catches Luffy.
-The ground became mochi! It's that thing Doflamingo did!-
-Of course. My powers are awakened.- Katakuri narrowed her eyes.- Gear Four? I'm intrigued.-
How special are you? Monkey D. Luffy... Let's see what you can do...
++++++++
-... What did you just say, Cora-san? I think my ears fail me...- Law had a tic in his eye.
-I said that Cracker-san wants to join the Heart Pirates.- Rosinante repeated with a huge blush.
-............ Wait a moment.-
Law left his room and went up to the deck of the Polar Tang. Natsu and Zeref looked at him strangely while Law took a deep breath.
-I SHIT ON YOU CHARLOTTE FUCKING LINLIN FOR GIVING BIRTH TO CHARLOTTE FUCKING CRACKER WHO DARE TO SEDUCE CORA-SAN!!! I SHIT ON YOU TWO! I SHIT ON YOU TWO!!!! DAMNIT!!!!-
After shouting that from the rooftops, Law entered Polar Tang like nothing happened.
-...... What the fuck just happened?- Natsu was very confused.
-...... It seems that Rosi fell in love with Cracker...-
++++++++
-As I fight you, I remind myself why, when faced with an obvius power-up, it's essential to just shut up and observe.- Katakuri said burying Luffy in a small mountain of mochi.- Oi, Straw Hat Luffy!-
-FNNGHH!-
-Know this; I haven't understimated you in the slightest!- Katakuri dropped another pile of mochi from the ceiling.- Kagami Mochi!-
-......!! Crap! If I get crushed by that amount of mochi, I'll be buried alive!- Luffy yells trying to get away from the mochi that was trapping him.
-Indeed... You'll suffocate!-
The pile of mochi fell on Luffy, completely burying him.
-Sorry for finishing things up like this. I was starting to get a little peeved.- Katakuri said with a hand on her waist and took out a pocket watch.- Because I was tied up dealing with you, I missed my Merienda today by 40 minutes.-
Luffy's hand hit the ground as Katakuri turned and walked away.
-You'll be at peace soon. PATISIER!-
-Yes, ma'am!-
Three cooks brought a cart full of donuts.
-We were so very worried about what was to come of your Merienda time today!-
-We've been standing at the ready since 3, but...-
-We are so very sorry that you, lady Katakuri, being the perfectionist you are, were forced to reschedule the Merienda you so punctiliously enjoy at the same time every day! And as for the black tea, what with 40 minutes since it was prepared, it's gone completely cold, and...-
-Iced tea will do, then.- Katakuri said starting to create her little house out of mochi.
-Today's Merienda is chocolate and whipped cream donuts, lady Katakuri.-
-Sugar is the wellspring of strength!- Katakuri said glad to see her precious donuts.- I shall intake these nutrients. Not a soul is to enter my shrine.-
-Of course! Who would dare disturb you!? Please, take your time!-
Luffy managed to get out of that pile of mochi by eating most of them.
-BAAAAAAAHHHHH! Mochi's mochi is delicious!!! Although I don't really like eating mochi... But if it's from Mochi then I'll eat it!-
-......!!?-
-WHAAA-!? STRAW HAT!? How in the world did you get out of that huge mound of mochi!?-
-......? Where'd Mochi go?-
-L-Lady Katakuri has... She's left Mirror World! She had some important business and...-
-......!- Luffy looks at the temple made of mochi.- I can feel her from inside there. She's eating donuts, isn't she?- Luffy ignored the cooks and crossed his arms, cocking his head thoughtfully.- Yoshi!- Luffy bumps his fist into his palm.- Alright! I'm ready to go! Gomu Gomu no...-
-NO!-
-ELEPHANT GUN!-
Luffy destroyed the temple and saw something that the cooks never expected. Katakuri was lying down and snacking on donuts. Her long, sharp teeth chewed on the food while she hummed a song about donuts, destroying the image of "perfect woman who never touches the ground with her back" that the cooks had.
