Chapter 323 What a strange way to praise someone
"I thought your family would be like you but huh huh!"
Mo An's mouth was blocked by a ball of glutinous rice, and all the subsequent words were stuck in his throat. He looked at Katakuri accusingly.
"Don't say unnecessary words." Katakuri looked forward, took a long step, and quickly distanced himself from Mo An.
Mo An frowned and spit out the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, but still walked slowly and unhurriedly, not looking like he wanted to catch up with Katakuri.
"I've already said that the glutinous rice balls made by the ability are not delicious."
Since he came here to cause trouble last time, Mo An didn't have the chance to take a good look at this interesting place, so Mo An was still curious about things here.
Katakuri's love for donuts is really engraved in his bones. The largest and most conspicuous building on the island he manages is the shape of stacked donuts.
The weather was getting dark, and the island was exuding the fragrance of various sweet pastries. Mo An still wanted to look around, but just as he was about to turn the corner, he saw the tall figure and stopped.
"Since you have to wait for me, don't walk so fast," Mo An walked towards Katakuri calmly and started his daily invitation again, "Then can I invite you to have dinner with me today? Or make an appointment for afternoon tea tomorrow? "
"I refuse." Mo An's reply was still cold and brief.
"It's too difficult for you to invite me."
Moan walked beside him, his height that was completely crushing compared to ordinary people was not enough in front of Katakuri.
At normal speed, Mo An would definitely not be able to catch up with Katakuri with one step, but Mo An, who did not speed up deliberately, always walked beside Katakuri.
Watching the two of them talking, Flampe floated in the air with her hands on her hips and pouted angrily.
Her perfect and handsome Katakuri brother didn't even look at her because of that guest!
She also looks forward to being praised and patted on the head!
But she couldn't say anything about her mother's guests.
Different from Flampe's anger and dissatisfaction, Bree's jaw almost dropped when she saw the two men with completely different styles walking together.
Flamper was still young so she didn't know, but Bree, who had grown up with Katakuri since childhood, knew about it.
She had never seen Katakuri relax since the incident when he was injured as a child.
When did her taciturn brother have such a close friend?
Although it is short, every sentence has a response!
They were all ignored because of this guest!
And you want to invite Katakuri-nii to dinner?
It’s incredible!
"Ka, Katakuri brother..."
Bree approached with some hesitation, but a line of sight fell on her first, and she saw Bree's footsteps stop in mid-air.
Although she is a little careless, she is not stupid either.
His mother's guest, and he dared to talk about killing Flampe in front of Katakuri's brother, was definitely not a good thing.
Katakuri also noticed Mo An's gaze. He just glanced at Mo An and said calmly: "If mother's reputation is damaged, she will be very angry, and the Revenge Legion will pursue the enemy desperately."
Because of the previous war with the Navy, the Big Mom Pirates were severely weakened. Although they have recovered over the years, the number of members of the Charlotte family has not increased.
The number of blood-related children has dropped sharply, and coupled with the previous incident of the navy sneaking into Totland to cause trouble, there is now a new iron law in Totland.
In addition to the guy who defeated the capable men of the Big Mom Pirates, the Revenge Legion's desperate pursuit also has an enemy who has killed all their children.
When Charlotte Lingling reached this age, she lost a lot of life in that war and had long since lost her fertility.
She doesn't love her children, but if one of her blood-related children dies, they should be properly 'loved'.
"Will you do it too?" Mo An raised his head, just in time to meet Katakuri's eyes, and the hand on the sword hilt was released again, "Forget it, but dinner and afternoon tea are not allowed, then tomorrow's Where’s lunch?”
Katakuri: "..."
Does that mean he doesn't care if he doesn't do anything?
Not only is he casual and naive, he is also very willful.
Although I will ask politely, I will go my own way if I don't get the reply I want.
After a pause, Katakuri answered her question.
"If it's family..."
If it's a family member...
Maybe he would accept this rude invitation.
Judging from the contacts these days, there may be powerful forces behind this man named Mo.
Both her elegant temperament and her inadvertently displayed dining habits were completely different from them.
That's more like the ethos of the nobles.
And willful...
She must have been pampered by the elders in the family...
Just like the children of the Charlotte family.
His innocence is probably not really naive, but a subtle influence of the environment in which he lived since childhood.
A strong person who is accustomed to being surrounded by strong people must not have simple forces behind him.
Katakuri knew very well the reason why his mother invited Mo back as a guest this time.
Totland welcomes the strong.
It's best to join them with family ties and become a part of Totland.
Just like any other brother or sister.
"Family?" Mo An's eyes lit up, "So you want to come with me?"
Katakuri: "..."
Sure enough, this person has a big problem with his cognition!
Katakuri pushed the person away, blocked Moan's mouth with glutinous rice, and then pulled his scarf up a little.
"I hope you can talk less when you meet mom."
Flampe is still young and can be a bit unruly and willful, but he also has other sisters. People with such strange cognitions are always liked or disliked.
Mo An chewed the glutinous rice balls in his mouth with some dissatisfaction.
It had no flavor and really didn't taste good.
Katakuri was too tall, and his face was covered by a scarf. When he was too close, even Mo An had a hard time seeing his expression clearly.
In addition, now that he is being pulled apart, his expression is even more difficult to see clearly.
Katakuri took two steps forward and the distance between them was widened.
Mo An still didn't catch up, and even changed the target.
Her eyes fell on the unfortunate Bree again.
Bree: "!!!"
Why is there a familiar shiver down my spine!
"Are you Katakuri's sister too?" Mo An looked her up and down.
Bree was still wearing a long dress and a green fur coat, with a few white roses on the skirt.
At first glance, Bree seems to be much older than Katakuri, and with this outfit...
"A person with branch fruit ability?"
"I am a mirror fruit user!" Bree couldn't help shouting loudly, but she couldn't help but wince after shouting.
It's over. After all, he is my mother's guest, and Katakuri-nii brought him back in person...
"Don't be nervous, you are his family, I won't blame you," Mo An's tone was still gentle, but the words he said made Katakuri who was walking in front almost stumble, "Okay, but let me tell you about Ka. What about Takuri? He always avoids me. You are his family, so you must know more of his cute behaviors, right?"
Bree was first dazzled by that face that was hard to ignore, and then was brought back to attention by a cute sound.
Her current expression is not only confused but also confused.
Was there something wrong with your ears just now?
Even if it is a compliment to Katakuri-nii, why does the word cute appear?
"I also know a lot about my brother!" Flampe floated over with a cute smile on his face, "He is the strongest, most perfect, and best person in the world. !”
Except for the one time against the red-haired pirates, Katakuri almost never lost.
However, no one would regard what happened with the red hair as Katakuri's failure.
Anyone facing off against the entire force of the Four Emperors alone would have no chance of winning.
Mo An looked expectantly at the pony-tailed girl wearing strange clothes, hoping that she would tell him something different about Katakuri.
And her expectation made Flampe hold her face and fall into fantasy and scream.
Who doesn’t like someone who is good-looking and powerful!
For a moment, Franpe didn't want to be the king of sisters anymore.
She just wanted to be the favored object of the person in front of her!
She wanted to see an elegant and noble smile on her face!
She wanted that expectant gaze to always fall on her!
Maybe it was because the conversation was about Katakuri, or maybe because Moan was too familiar with him, when Katakuri took two steps and turned back, he found that Moan was surrounded by his sisters.
Katakuri's eyes couldn't help but twitch twice.
He has never seen anyone so persistent in strange things!
And the situation got out of control very quickly.
Although this is a world where the strong are respected, and everyone does not care so much about a person's appearance, when a person with both strength and good looks appears, the BUFF will be full.
Coupled with his elegant, gentle and approachable temperament, the voice that had been shouting 'Katakuri-nii' and 'Onii-sama' just now completely changed sides.
Others' revelations didn't make Katakuri feel any discomfort. Those younger brothers and sisters saw him as a disguised 'perfect man'.
Katakuri's expression didn't change until Bree also held her face and said something like "Katakuri-nii when he was a kid..." with a shy expression.
"Brei!" He interrupted Bree's next words with a cold shout, and reached out to grab Mo An with a serious expression.
Under the influence of the fruit's ability, his hands were like a large spread of melted rice cakes, directly wrapping up Mo An in the crowd and carrying him away.
Bree was also agitated. After thinking about what she almost said, her expression was filled with self-blame.
"Yes, I'm sorry! Brother Katakuri..."
She almost revealed Katakuri's brother's past!
"Don't approach him again, Bree." Katakuri's voice was raised a little, but he still didn't sound angry. "I will take her to see her mother later. You guys go back to your own island first."
Katakuri had no reason to blame Bree. Even he was a little dazed when he first saw Mo An.
The people gathered left reluctantly, and even Bree took one more look at Mo An before turning her hands into a mirror.
And Mo An...
The area below her eyes was now covered with hardened rice cakes.
Katakuri also didn't expect that he could catch Mo An so easily. Even in the future he foresaw for the first time, Mo An could easily dodge his attack.
But now.
This man seemed to have a strange trust in him.
After staring at each other for a moment, when the accusation in those beautiful peach blossom eyes became more and more full, Katakuri withdrew his power.
Just when Katakuri thought Mo An was going to say something accusatory, Mo An's speech made him want to plug his mouth that always said strange things with glutinous rice balls again.
"Katakuri!" Moan's tone was full of surprise, "You are indeed the most beautiful child among your parents, right? I found that your facial features are more delicate than theirs."
This idea is not new to Mo An. She used to think that Lingling didn't have many good-looking children, but now she is just more sure.
Katakuri’s lower eyelashes are very long!
His eyebrows really look like Lingling when she was young.
Lingling was a great beauty back then~
This is one of the reasons why Mo An keeps complaining that she is really not picky.
Although she is so beautiful, even if she wants to have a child, can't the father of the child be better-looking?
It doesn't matter if the child's father is strong, Mo An can still think that she is picking on strong genes.
But as far as Mo An knows, those guys...
It's hard to say.
Bree wanted to take a sneak peek one more time before leaving: "!!!"
Why does she always feel weird there!
The way this man praises Katakuri-nii is so strange!
Katakuri-nii-nii is not angry yet!
Katakuri: "..."
Not wanting to answer the question or knowing how to answer it, Katakuri simply ignored the question and continued to approach the donut building.
It was already completely dark, and this time was not suitable for his mother to entertain guests, so he continued to watch this strange guest.
Mo An still walked beside him unhurriedly, asking questions that he was interested in, and collecting the information he wanted to know without leaving a trace.
Cake Island has long been rebuilt, and the residents of Totland increased taxes after the war between the Big Mom Pirates and the navy.
But what they need to pay is not money, but life.
This approach caused dissatisfaction among the residents of Totland. Not that no one wanted to leave here, but they couldn't.
The climate and environment in the Totland Sea are very strange, and coupled with the many dangers, it is simply difficult for ordinary people to leave here.
Besides, this is a new world!
Even if they successfully leave here, what will greet them is nothing more than another hell.
At least while here, except for the increased taxes, as long as they are not unlucky enough to encounter Big Mom's narcosis, they are usually safe.
No need to worry about food and 'freedom', the whole family can live happily together, with beautiful and warm clothes, and relaxing entertainment facilities...
Compared with those outside who have to face famine and plunder at any time, they are already very happy.
The dissatisfaction caused by the increased soul collection time did not last long.
Unable to leave and unable to survive independently, even if they know that they are being kept in captivity like domestic animals, these people are willing to accept this kind of captivity.
There is still joy in Totland now.
