Chapter 327

Katakuri fell silent for a while.

Recalling the various details from his first contact with the Straw Hat Pirates until now, in the end...

He still shook his head.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are acting very proactively, but my intuition tells me... there's a problem!"

"Is that so... Katakuri, your intuition is still worth trusting, but... the alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates is too important for Mother to become the Pirate King!" Perospero said helplessly: "Let's wait until Byleth returns."

Katakuri nodded.

"Regarding the marriage with Germa 66, what is Mother's opinion?" Katakuri asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Yonji is a emotionless cyborg; if Sister Jozuka marries him..."

Katakuri's voice carried deep concern.

This guy only exposes his emotions so openly when dealing with his younger brothers and sisters.

"I actually consider this a benefit." Perospero stuck out his long tongue: "Jozuka's personality is already cold; if she married someone like Sanji... a passionate guy, it would be even harder for Jozuka's nature to get along... Moreover, precisely because Yonji has no emotions, he is even less likely to care about her appearance."

"Saying it that way... does make sense." Katakuri nodded helplessly.

Perhaps it was because BIG MOM chose husbands based only on "race" and strength, paying little attention to looks.

The children born to BIG MOM all have various problems to some extent.

The strongest, Katakuri, even has a toad-like chin...

Although Jozuka is sweet-looking, she is a tall-necked ice beauty; ordinary people truly have no fortune to endure her.

At this moment,

ripples appeared in the floor mirror in the room, and Byleth, looking like an old witch, emerged from it.

"Hehehe, Brother Perospero, Brother Katakuri, I've brought back very important intelligence!"

Katakuri: "..."

Perospero: "..."

Although she is my own sister...

but when Byleth smiles like that...

She looks even more like an old witch!

"Huff—Byleth, what intelligence? Let me see." Perospero changed the subject.

Byleth noticed nothing and handed over her intelligence notebook as if presenting a treasure.

Perospero opened it in front of himself and Katakuri; half a second later, he silently closed it again—her handwriting was just like her person, unbearable to look at!

"Byleth, you should just tell us orally."

"Ah! I forgot I used the Priestess Script I invented!" Byleth slapped her head: "I was too excited by the news I heard to pay attention to these details!"

"Then let me tell both brothers this exciting news!"

"It is truly so exciting!"

Byleth chattered on and on, never getting to the point.

If this weren't my own biological sister...

Forget it!

She's family; I'll endure it!

Finally,

after Byleth rambled for a while, she finally got to the main topic—

"Hehehe! The Straw Hat Pirates' Demon Slayer has taken a liking to Mother..."

Perospero and the other two widened their eyes!

Taken a liking to Mother?

Although I don't want to admit it,

given Mother's appearance, the Demon Slayer must be blind to...

"... taken a liking to Mother's relationship with Kaido!" Byleth gasped for air: "The Demon Slayer wants to use this alliance to also connect with Kaido; combined with their existing relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, they aim to isolate the Red Hair Pirates, who interrupted his plan midway during the Summit War, and then challenge the Red Hair Pirates to become the new Yonko!"

Katakuri: "..."

Perospero: "..."

If you don't fix this habit of gasping for air mid-sentence, you'll really get beaten up by your brothers!

But...

the Straw Hat Pirates' target is actually the Red Hair Pirates?

970 Because the situation during the Summit War was complex, Luffy did not have much interaction with Shanks.

So not many people know that Shanks entrusted his straw hat, his arm, and the Nika Fruit to a young upstart.

So Katakuri and Perospero still found it quite believable that Sima Di chose the Red Hair Pirates as his target!

After all...

compared to the three Yonko including BIG MOM's pirate crew, all of whom possess massive fleet alliances, not to mention BIG MOM's Soul-Soul Fruit granting her an even larger Homies army.

Just the Human Wave Tactics alone could exhaust most of their combat strength.

In comparison,

the Red Hair Pirates, who also follow an elite route, are a good target—as long as their hard power is stronger than theirs.

But...

*Click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click*

Only 1 monthly ticket away from an extra chapter! Just 1 ticket!

63. Byleth: This guy is actually a gentleman?

But...

"The Straw Hat Pirates' strength — challenging the Red-Haired Pirates is still a bit of a stretch, isn't it?" Perospero said with a frown.

The Red-Haired Pirates, with only a small number of people, stood out among the many elites and became the only one of the Four Emperors without a Grand Fleet!

They are not such simple existences.

"These are no longer issues we need to worry about." Katakuri said in a deep voice: "Since we can roughly confirm the Straw Hat Pirates' intentions, and we are also the benefiting side, then let's properly arrange this Hunliyan Society! Mama is really looking forward to the wedding cake, and if anything goes wrong, I'm afraid it will trigger Mama's craving disorder......"

Craving disorder!

Perospero and the other two all showed looks of horror!

Under the craving disorder, BIG MOM, if she cannot eat the food she wants, will go berserk and lose her rationality, leaving only the most instinctive reactions.

She can kill her own children without the slightest hesitation!

These years, the brothers and sisters who have died under Mama's craving disorder......

Are not few in number!

"As for the wedding cake, I'll go ask Head Chef Long Bread again." Perospero said cautiously.

"I'll escort you there, Brother Perospero." Brulee said eagerly.

"Mm, let's go."

The two slipped into the mirror, leaving Katakuri standing in place, pondering something.

After a long while,

Katakuri said faintly: "Really... is it really this simple?"

Katakuri's Observation Haki Already has been cultivated to the extreme; although he can generally only foresee things a few seconds into the future, he has a near-bestial intuition toward certain things.

Compared to the complex human heart,

Katakuri still trusts his own intuition more!

But now, since there is no evidence whatsoever, BIG MOM will definitely not give up the alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates based on a mere intuition.

So......

"I'll be watching you the whole time, Demon Slayer!"

Katakuri's intuition is very sharp,

He saw at a glance who the core of the Straw Hat Pirates really is!

And also at a glance......

He realized that Sima Di's goal, from beginning to end, was never pure!

That night,
