"Mom, Katakuri is here!!"
In a pink room filled with a fantastical atmosphere, a large table of delicious food and desserts is laid out on the table, while Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin sits beside her, reaching out to stuff a dessert into her mouth.
Click...
Just then, the door behind them opened, and a tall, aloof man Katakuri, wearing a scarf and a leather jacket, walked in. As he entered the room, Homies Napoleon, wearing a hat on Big Mom's head, noticed him and reminded Big Mom beneath him.
"Hmm?? You've finally arrived, my dear son Katakuri. How are you going to explain this mission failure to me?"
Upon hearing its prompt, Big Mom glanced over out of the corner of her eye and raised her voice to question Katakuri behind her.
"Mom, I messed up this time. I have nothing to say. I'll take all the blame. Please don't blame my younger siblings anymore!"
Katakuri approached, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a gesture of apology, and pleaded with her.
"Hmm?? You're already in big trouble yourself, and you're still thinking about Smoothie and the others? Well, you're such a good girl, but... you won't escape the punishment you deserve, you understand?"
BIGMOM laughed upon hearing this, then his gaze sharpened, and the atmosphere instantly became tense as an extremely terrifying and chilling voice entered his ears.
"Yes, I know, Mom. If there is any punishment, I will take it all on myself!"
Even though Bigom's attitude towards him gradually became more serious, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became as heavy and suffocating as if it had sunk into a quagmire, it still couldn't change Katakuri's determination.
"Fine, fine then, you'll have to take the blame. This mistake will cost you five years of your lifespan. You'll get it back whenever you finish this job!!"
Looking at his second son's somber and resolute face, Bigom suddenly laughed, then his expression darkened again, and he stood up and stood in front of him.
"Yes!!"
Katakuri showed no resistance to the punishment his mother gave him, willingly taking all the blame.
"Oh my god... you really are my good child, then..."
Buzz!!
After praising him, Big Mom activated her ability, and a strange energy emanated from her body, transforming into a black, eerie humanoid shadow in front of Katakuri.
"Lifeorlive?"
After asking the question in front of him, the figure reached out and grabbed Katakuri's chest.
Even as the figure's hand pierced Katakuri's chest, he showed no fear whatsoever, calmly accepting the punishment of having his lifespan taken away.
brush...
Buzz...
boom!!
However, the result was beyond Big Mom and Katakuri. Just as the black hand pierced his chest and touched his soul, about to tear out a part of his lifespan, it stimulated him at the last moment, causing an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki to emerge, making Big Mom's attack miss.
"Well, did this unconsciously awaken the Conqueror's Haki hidden within you? How interesting. But you still can't escape the punishment you deserve..."
Buzz!!
boom!!!
After laughing, a similar but even more powerful and imposing Conqueror's Haki surged from BIGMOM's body. The two clashed, and as their auras collided, all the clutter in the room was overturned and scattered everywhere.
puff...
In the clash of Conqueror's Haki, Katakuri's momentum faltered, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura weakened.
BIGMOM's Homies seized the opportunity, reaching out again and finally tearing a pale yellow, cloud-like object from his body, placing it in the basket at his waist before disappearing.
"Alright, your lifespan is now in my hands. Go down. I hope you won't disappoint your mother this time, Katakuri!!"
Big Mom accepted five years of Katakuri's lifespan, but instead of turning it into a lifespan snack, she kept it with her to observe her second son's performance. After doing all this, Big Mom waved to Katakuri was kneeling on the ground, weak and pale, and told him to leave.
"Yes, Mom!!"
Even though he was weak, listless, and dispirited, Katakuri remained as cold as ever, took his leave, and left her room.
"Well, well, well~ I hope you won't disappoint me again, Katakuri, otherwise..."
After he left, Big Mom's terrifying laughter echoed throughout the house, his words revealing both his high regard for his son Katakuri and his unspeakable disappointment in him.
Meanwhile, on a cruise ship bound for the Totto Land, filled with an atmosphere of decadent Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy, a tall and aloof man appeared. He was none other than Mammon, who had separated from Asmodeus and gone their separate ways. He was sitting in a chair, opposite Stussy, the owner of the cruise ship.
"Hehehe... So, all of you, the legendary Seven Deadly Sins, are going to attend Linlin's tea party? This surprises me greatly. You're not serious, are you??"
Wearing a red dress, a white shawl draped over her shoulders, and a pink domed hat, the woman Stussy, with her delicate and charming face, teased the man in front of her with a smile.
Bang!!
"What you should and shouldn't do is none of your business. Don't forget your health, Stussy. Don't think that just because you've been the Queen of the Pleasure District for a few years, you can make such unrestrained jokes with your superiors. That would make me want to kill you!"
Mammon was like a silent volcano, not to be trifled with. When Stussy teased him, Mammon couldn't help but stand up and release the ancient, savage aura within him, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws, ready to pounce. He directly pressed down on Stussy, causing her face to turn pale instantly. Then he slammed his hand on the table and warned her.
"Yes, I know, stop being so arrogant!"
Stussy was intimidated by the aura emanating from Mammon, and beads of sweat appeared on his fair and delicate forehead as he stammered.
"Snort!!"
Mammon snorted coldly, withdrawing his imposing aura, causing Stussy to slump into his chair, gasping for breath.
"What a piece of trash! You can't even withstand this little bit of pressure. Fine, if it weren't for the fact that you were placed in the Underworld under government orders, I might have dealt with you on the spot. You're so eager to give me a suitable identity to enter the Totto Land, understand?"
Mammon placed his hands on the table, looking down at Stussy.
"I... I understand!!"
Even though his momentum had long since been withdrawn by the other party, Stussy was still in great pain and responded in great distress.
"Okay, then I'll go rest now. And don't let anyone else disturb me!"
With that, Mammon turned and walked towards the door.
"Hmm, and remember to train more. Looking at you, you only deserve to be a member of CP9. If it weren't for your father's influence and special circumstances, you wouldn't even be able to stay in CP0. That's my advice to you; whether you do it or not is your business and has nothing to do with me!!"
After saying that, he opened the door and left, leaving Stussy alone in the room.
"Damn you, Seven Deadly Sins bastard! How dare you embarrass me like this! I curse you to fail your mission and return to face your leader's punishment!!"
Looking at the location of the door, Stussy couldn't help but bite his lip, secretly cursing in his heart.
