"Alright, Katakuri, I've already told her off. Stay away from that Whitey Bay if you don't have to." Cracker saw that Katakuri still had a stern face, so he specially offered a few words of comfort.
"No, I'm not targeting Custard, it's just that I think that kid..." Katakuri could tell that Cracker wasn't really bothered by it, he just didn't want him to worry about anything because of his sister.
Just then, the sound of fighting interrupted Katakuri's words...
Although the fighting was still quite far away, Katakuri noticed it and rushed to the scene immediately.
Brulee, ever the mischievous boy he was, secretly mocked Amande again, only to be warned by "White Fish"—White Fish being Amande's sword.
Of course, Amande didn't actually cause her any real harm, otherwise Amande would have completely overwhelmed Brulee in terms of strength... He just scared her and wanted to rip her tattered dress!
Because of the Reaction Fruit, Brulee felt that everything around him slowed down, and his own movements slowed down even more.
The controlled slashes slowly crept towards him...
Fortunately, Katakuri arrived just then and deflected Amande's already weak slash with a wave of his hand.
Katakuri is more inclined to like Brulee —although Katakuri has always felt that Brulee is fake and not nearly as "cute" Brulee, she is, after all, Brulee's twin sister.
"Amande! What are you doing?" Katakuri demanded.
Amande is also Katakuri's close comrade-in-arms. The two were active members of the clan's fighting force during the Great Chaos. However, it seemed that Amande was the one bullying Katakuri just now, so Katakuri's tone was a bit harsh.
"Tch, just teaching my sister a lesson," Amande said nonchalantly.
Most of the Charlotte Family's siblings naturally held Katakuri in awe and reverence. However, Amande was only a year younger than Katakuri, was also an elder of Whole Cake Island Katakuri, and was not much weaker in strength. Moreover, Amand was extremely arrogant, so he naturally did not care about Katakuri.
Katakuri was about to press for an explanation when he suddenly noticed that Amande was also wearing a necklace—before, her long neck only had two heart-shaped tattoos, with no other decorations...
As for Brulee... it's impossible to tell, since she usually owns quite a few necklaces, and Katakuri couldn't tell if they were new or not.
"Who gave you the necklace?" Katakuri was now very sensitive about the necklace.
"Mind your own business." Amande turned and left.
Katakuri wasn't surprised by this attitude; after all, she was his younger sister, whom he'd grown up with and was about the same age. However... Katakuri keenly noticed that while Amande was arrogant, she had actually... shown a hint of embarrassment?
"It's just a necklace, humph." Brulee said, puffing out his chest.
Yes, Katakuri is now certain that there's definitely a story behind Brulee's necklace!
Meanwhile, in In Cake Castle, Sig was reporting to Big Mom on the preparations for tomorrow's wedding, which were basically complete in every detail.
Even...
Almost every detail was designed to make BigMom feel very comfortable. Even though BigMom had some ideas that were completely different from her previous wedding requests, "Vladimir" got them all!
He truly deserves to be my best son—BigMom already thought so in his heart.
The only thing that BigMom had some reservations about was...
"Those two brats Katakuri and Cracker... let them keep them company in the back!" Big Mom was a little annoyed that Vladimir had placed them at the front of the banquet.
Although I wasn't really angry to begin with, this arrangement made me feel like my "punishment" was being ignored.
Officially, it was their own initiative to attack the Giant Country, but in reality, Big Mom was genuinely angry—and in the end, it was just a "draw"!
"Mom, Katakuri did it for Mom and Whole Cake Island, so... cough cough. I know Mom 're unhappy that they failed to defeat the Giant Country, but actually, I made a mistake in my judgment at the time, and Elbaf had gone too far. If we ignored Katakuri at that time, wouldn't that make us a laughingstock to the Giants?"
Sig was very responsible and respectful to his brother, giving Big Mom the impression that he was not only considering the situation but also genuinely caring for Katakuri.
"Hmph! You misjudged? Did you even make any judgments at the time?" BigMom glared fiercely at the Vampire, seemingly annoyed that he was lying.
Big Mom was naturally aware that Katakuri was on high alert Katakuri Vladimir at the time, and she didn't even need Katakuri to report it, since there were Homies on every ship!
"Isn't it Katakuri's caution that puts Mom at ease?" Sig's face clearly showed his embarrassment.
Seeing that the Vampire admired Katakuri so much and was even thinking of Whole Cake Island, Big Mom just hummed twice and didn't say anything more, nor did she pursue the Vampire's previous "lie".
In Big Mom's eyes, Vladimir is not only excellent and considerate, but also genuinely identifies with her ideals, especially since they share similar childhood experiences, and he even has great respect for Katakuri and others...
He's the perfect son!
BigMom has recently been considering the issue of Four Sweet Commanders Sweet Commander, specifically one who is not his biological son.
As for the wedding preparations, aside from Katakuri's involvement, Big Mom was quite satisfied with everything else. After the Vampire finished his report, he took his leave to continue his work.
Just then, Katakuri had just finished disciplining his idiotic younger brother, Oven, and Daifuku!
Katakuri originally wanted to ask them what Vladimir had been doing on the island and how many girls he had "seduced."
As a result, these two idiots actually started talking to Katakuri about the various feats of a certain Vampire in a tone that made them think, "The Vladimir brothers are awesome."
Katakuri's forehead throbbed with rage—"You treat your own sister like this, and yet... you have absolutely no suspicion of that bastard?"
Furthermore, Katakuri now learned how much his Mom doted on Vladimir. Not only did she let him choose his own wife, but she would also frequently call their daughter back from other islands, even bringing back some of their sons to meet his needs, just because he wanted to learn more...
This guy really dares to offer opinions—you don't really consider yourself an outsider, coming all the way to Whole Cake Island to choose a bride?
Fortunately, at least we know from Oven and Daifuku that Brulee was not "harmed".
After scolding his two younger brothers, Katakuri prepared to go find Big Mom and warn their Mom to be wary of that bastard.
At the entrance of the Cake Castle, the two happened to walk towards each other.
"Katakuri- nii is back? You must be tired... Don't worry! Of course, Mom knows you did it for Whole Cake Island..."
"Snort!"
Katakuri, seeing the guy's obviously acting expression, simply snorted coldly and turned away.
Well, this scene was later witnessed by Homies, who had become acquainted with "Gungnir," and Record it...
