Chapter 196: Dessert Shop
Most of Uta's abilities come from the Gogo Fruit and Totmujika, so it is different from ordinary seeing and hearing domineering.
She can "hear" something "special" and even judge its corresponding "tendency", but she can't know exactly what it is.
Like now.
Facing this remote dessert shop, Uta can hear the "special" in it, but he can't accurately assert what makes it special.
Is it an ingredient? Flavor? Originality?
Or maybe it's one of the "guests".
β¦β¦
Heβ
Charlotte Katakuri.
Overlord color domineering owner.
One of the Four Emperors, the second son of [Aunt] Charlotte Lingling.
At the same time, he is also the head of the "Dessert Four Stars" of the BIG MOM Pirates, and the superman is a glutinous fruit ability.
Excellent fruit development, amazing insight and domineering talent, and strong combat quality.
The combination of the three made Katakuri quickly make a name for himself on the sea, and the bounty soared all the way.
Now he has a super high bounty of 900 million berry!
Undoubtedly, Katakuri is the core figure of the Charlotte family, the pillar and second-in-command of the BIG MOM Pirates.
He was extremely powerful, never defeated in his life, and was even hailed as the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family.
Arrogant and cold, wise and brave, calm and calm......
No matter how you describe Katakuri, it seems that it is not an exaggeration, because he is a 'perfect' existence in his own right!
β¦β¦
However, he is so "perfect", but he has secrets that no one knows in private.
He has an extreme sweet tooth and is rude in his diet, believing that sugar is the source of strength.
In fact, Katakuri will arrange a fixed tea time to eat snacks and relax on his own, even in the middle of the battle.
This craze for desserts even caused Katakuri to burst his mouth when he was a child because of eating doughnuts, which eventually led to stitching marks on both sides of his mouth.
β¦β¦
As a teenager, his sister Charlotte Bray was bullied for going his own way.
Since then, Katakuri has covered his mouth with a scarf and has become reticent.
For the sake of his loved ones, he has always played the role of "absolute perfection".
β¦β¦
The above is the information in Lindsay's mind.
Time comes back to the present.
Lindsey and the others looked through the glass window of the dessert shop and saw Katakuri in the corner of the store.
Those present, especially Margao and Klockdahl, couldn't help but cheer up.
Of course, they knew Katakuri, and they understood how strong that man really was.
Such a tricky guy would suddenly appear here?!
"The second-in-command under [Auntie]'s command......"
Margaumo rubbed his chin and muttered, "He's the one who has plans for Fish-Man Island?" Could it be that this is the stronghold of the BIG MOM Pirates? β
Klockdahl shook his head and said, "The pirates are not government agents, so there's no need to bother to do this. β
The two looked at each other, and both saw a deep confusion in each other.
Suddenly, Lindsay emerged from the two.
It's not a way to keep these two guessing, so Lindsay said his point of view -
"Maybe he's here for dessert?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Poof!"
As soon as these words came out, both Klocodahl and Margao couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
Obviously, they don't believe a word about Lindsay's opinion.
"Hehehehehe......"
Klockdahl waved his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Since you are a pirate, it is better to be simple and direct." β
His ideas were simple and crude.
From the perspective of power alone, the Whitebeard Pirates are on par with the Big Mom Pirates, and the two sides are evenly matched.
Now that the Whitebeard Pirates are here, they have to add [Demon], so they naturally have to overpower the BIG MOM Pirates.
Klockdahl believed that Katakuri would understand this, and did not dare to do it lightly.
So the initiative is on your side!
Obviously, Margau is also thinking this way.
The two of them acted at the same time, stepped into the dessert shop, and headed straight for the table where Katakuri was.
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
The other side.
Lindsay stood in front of the store and watched as Crocoidal and Margao entered.
Look at Uta on the left;
Look at Robin on the right.
The two little girls are also on the lookout for a head-on clash with the second-in-command of the BIG MOM Pirates.
Seeing this scene, Lindsay simply stretched out her two hands, rubbed their heads and grinned, "Let's go." β
"Where to go?"
The two little girls immediately cheered up.
But Lindsay's answer really made them a little confused.
"Go for dessert."
Lindsey stretched out her finger upwards and said a little mysteriously, "Don't you want to try the dessert recommended by the BIG MOM Pirates?" β
β¦β¦
Jingle bells!
Lindsay led the two little girls and walked into the dessert shop.
This shop is indeed very secretive, there are only five of them in a group, plus Katakuri alone.
The store manager is a fish-man woman, much older than Miss Cocoro from Tom's studio.
She hunched over and showed the desserts on the counter to the three guests.
Robin and Uta each chose their favorite cakes, and Lindsay asked for a set of four donuts.
The three of them carried their own desserts and walked all the way to Katakuri's side.
Klockdahl 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 an oozing aura.
The gloomy and tense aura pervades the air, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression and even distorting the air around it!
However, such an unkind atmosphere was broken by the three later.
They took their respective dessert plates and took a step back to sit down at the table.
Uta and Robin were still a little nervous, but with Evan Lindsay by their side, the two girls quickly diverted their attention.
They began to taste the dessert, and little stars quickly popped into their eyes.
"Delicious!"
"Awesome!"
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay also swallowed a doughnut in one gulp, picked up the second one casually, and casually asked the other three adults.
"So, what did you all talk about?"
ββ¦β¦β
No one responded.
In fact, they didn't talk about anything either.
After seeing the two people who came first, Katakuri faintly exuded a terrifying aura, as if he was wary of something, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of negotiating.
"Sure enough?"
Klockdahl raised an eyebrow as he took his unlit cigar in his mouth.
"It seems that you don't want to negotiate with us, that's why you're so vigilant......"
"Haha, there's no way around it."
Margao smiled and asked Katakuri instead, "Long time no see." β
Katakuri: "......"
He still had no intention of answering, just staring around, especially Evan Lindsay.
"Hey, that's cold."
Margao spread his hands, "But Fish-Man Island is our territory after all, and the people of the BIG MOM Pirates appear here, so we must give an explanation to the Whitebeard Pirates, right?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, Katakuri finally reacted.
He put down his hands holding his chest and said in a deep voice: "The desserts on Fish-Man Island are very famous, and my mother likes them very much, so I came to help my sister buy desserts." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Poof!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Crocodall and Margao laughed again.
Although it is very clear that the other party will never tell the truth, such a perfunctory reason is indeed a bit boring.
"It seems that there is no way to communicate-"
Swish!
Before Klockdahl could finish his sentence, he saw Katakuri suddenly stand up.
This move made Klocodahl and Margao suddenly vigilant, and their spirits were suddenly shocked.
Katakuri's face was extremely gloomy, and he said, "It's not convenient to talk here, find another place!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, Klocodahl and Marco nodded.
The three of them left.
Seeing this scene, the three Lindsey also sped up their action of eating desserts.
Uta stuffed the small cake into his mouth in one go, felt the sugar in his body soar, and said casually:
"It's a little strange, why is that gentleman named Katakuri so 'anxious'?"
"His melody is restless and he wants to get out of here as soon as possible......"
ββ¦β¦β
Confused, Uta followed Lindsay and Robin out of the dessert shop.
But faintly, she seemed to hear something behind her.
It was the old fishman woman from the dessert shop, who was greeting in an old voice:
"Hey, little brother, how did you go? The old woman's special oversized caramel doughnut is ready! β
Uta: "......"
Uta: "? β
Blinked, tilted head.
Did she hear it wrong?
It's just that vaguely, I always feel that Katakuri is in a hurry.
