Katakuri's Intuition

Two weeks later, in the New World, among Totto Land.

Whole Cake Island.

A group of the Charlotte Family children, led by Katakuri, stood at the port, ordered by their mother to greet Doflamingo.

Is this guy trustworthy?

Daifuku stared at the few ships that appeared on the distant sea and said indifferently.

Katakuri, standing beside him, remained silent, only slightly frowning.

"Since Mother has no suspicions and has prepared a banquet, then there should be no problem," said Minister of Fresh Cream, Opera.

"Don't forget, Charlotte Pudding died because she was heading to Dressrosa... Rumors have it that Doflamingo has connections with the Hell Pirates. Although he came back alive, which means he's cleared of suspicion, I still feel we can't let our guard down."

Baking Minister Oven's expression darkened.

Then, he looked at Katakuri as well, "Your Observation Haki should be able to sense something... Keep an eye on him."

"Um."

Katakuri remained silent, replying with only one word.

"The alliance between the Navy and us has ended... We have never found any trace of the God Slayer, and for the past year, the World Government has provided us with military supplies unconditionally, and even made the Navy completely quiet down and stop interfering in our affairs. It's rare to have a period of peace. That's all they can do... Even if they give up more resources and make more compromises, the Celestial Dragons can't afford to keep going."

"The Minister of Transport, wearing a Napoleon hat," said Nusstorte.

Then, changing the subject, "The only thing I didn't expect was... that Blackbeard Teach!"

"Cracker and Mont-d'Or captured a ship belonging to Blackbeard Pirates in the waters near Flying Fire Island, but unfortunately they failed to capture the guy, who escaped."

Another member of the Charlotte Family chimed in.

"That bastard Marshall D. Teach is disgusting... If he really wants to fight us, he should fight a proper war instead of hiding and harassing us every now and then."

"Alright, shut up, they're here."

"Oven said in a deep voice."

After he finished speaking, everyone quieted down.

Accompanied by several ships Big Mom Pirates, Doflamingo's pink ship slowly sailed in, its shape resembling a lifelike flamingo.

Everyone saw the Joker standing on the bow of the ship.

The latter naturally also saw the group of people standing on the shore, waiting for him.

"Wow... quite a spectacle!"

Dover laughed.

After a short while, the ship was moored, and Doflamingo led Trebol and Diamante down the gangway.

"This is really a nice place..."

This is clearly the territory of Yonko, but Doflamingo doesn't seem nervous at all. He even looks around the island's buildings and environment with unbridled enthusiasm, making exclamations.

They didn't pay attention to the Charlotte Family members first.

"Only the three of you are allowed. Come with me... Your mother is already waiting to see you at the castle."

Oven stepped forward, without exchanging pleasantries, and stared at Dover, speaking coldly.

Not just anyone can meet Yonko of the Sea)... Moreover, even deep within Totto Land Whole Cake Island, Doflamingo's One Piece ship would undergo rigorous checks before being allowed passage, only after confirming there was no danger. The Big One Piece would certainly not allow him to bring his full force. They only allowed him to bring Trebol and Diamante, two of their executives, because of Joker's role as an intermediary and his continued value to their family. Otherwise, only Doflamingo would have been able to meet Big Mom.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a dangerous person... Besides the three of us, the only people I brought this time are some boatmen."

Dover spread his hands and joked.

"Besides, I'm here to do business with Big Mom. Is it a bit inappropriate for you to treat your partner like this?"

Joker made another sarcastic remark.

And that's indeed the case. On his own turf... having a large Big Mom Pirates officers come out to greet him wasn't because Doflamingo was particularly distinguished, but rather out of a sense of vigilance. After all, the threat of the Hell Pirates had never left... and Joker was one of the people directly involved.

"Hmph! Hurry up!"

Oven turned and walked away first, urging him on indifferently.

This tone and attitude showed that Dover was not taken seriously at all.

Don't be fooled by Joker's high status in the New World; that's only relative to ordinary One Piece. In the eyes of the Yonko, Joker is far from being a threat. To put it simply, Doflamingo has to act according to his mother's wishes. If it weren't for his Celestial Dragons background, connections, and the channels he controls, the Donquixote Family wouldn't have the right to act so arrogantly under the Yonko's noses.

The other Charlotte Family children followed Oven away, occasionally turning back to glance at Dover and his two companions who were still standing there with a cold or disdainful look.

Katakuri, however, remained motionless.

Dover felt a surge of anger rising within him, and his expression darkened.

But the smile was quickly suppressed and he smiled again.

Follow slowly.

He noticed Katakuri, but without exchanging a word, he walked past the latter with arrogant strides, hands in his pockets.

Then, Dover stopped walking.

As if sensing something, it glanced sideways at Katakuri, "Fufu..."

After chuckling twice, he continued on his way.

Yes, Katakuri activated his Observation Haki Haki instant he passed Doflamingo.

His Observation Haki had reached its peak, making him one of the most outstanding on this ocean. This also allowed his self-perception to evolve, acquiring special effects... he could foresee the future, 'seeing and hearing' what would happen in the near future, though he couldn't extend the timeline too far. But Observation Haki was actually a means of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, a transcendent combination of spirit and the five senses. From the first moment he saw Doflamingo, Katakuri had a bad feeling, as if something extremely terrible was about to happen.

But unfortunately... he didn't see it.

The images that came to mind were scenes of Doflamingo talking to his mother later on, and there was nothing unusual about them.

As for a powerful figure like Doflamingo, he would definitely be able to sense the Haki that Doflamingo was activating... and would put up some resistance, which means he would also use Haki to avoid being 'interfered' to the greatest extent Haki.

After all, nobody likes having their 'secrets' pried into.

But it's clear that Joker's Haki presence had little effect on Katakuri.

Doflamingo was clearly aware of Katakuri's strength.

Katakuri turned around and watched Joker's departing figure, his eyes flashing.

Given his mother's personality, even if he told her the truth, it probably wouldn't make a difference... unless there is concrete evidence to prove that Dover is a 'potential threat'.

Perhaps, because of my interference, Mom will get angry... The banquet cannot be held as scheduled, and Mom will not be able to enjoy dessert in a joyful and pleasant atmosphere.

"He... has a problem."

Katakuri always trusted his intuition.

Therefore, he had to keep a close eye on Doflamingo and his group.
