ドーナツもち

The answer came without any delay or surprises. Honestly, Luffy had already expected something like that  - not only because ‘no’ was a rather common answer to his question, no matter the fact that people tend to change their minds afterwards - after all it had been rather clear that the other one cared about his family in a way Luffy only cared about his crew. 

Maybe, despite everything, his nakama were his true family after all. 

So no, no the grin didn’t disappeared from his face, while he crossed his arms behind his head, eyes still almost carefully on the other one. 

“Well okay.” he replied in the end. Was it really? Well they would figure out along the way. A lot people had said no at first and changed their mind later. Some of them probably because he asked them over and over and over again but… he had grown as well, hadn’t he? 

“I’ll come back anyways.” 

If his fight against Big Mom wouldn’t find an end on this island already, that’s it.

For Katakuri, this was the only answer he could give to the other male. What was this kid even thinking, inviting him after he kicked his butt and angered Mama? He treated his family duties with great responsibility and leaving wasn’t possible. Not at all.

He was glaring at Luffy, slightly frowning. What the hell did he mean with that? Katakuri couldn’t imagine Mama, out of all people, could lose to someone like that.

      “ i’m a anyagi… ”

      She said simply, stutter only partially interrupting her as while she tried to prop herself up on the tips of her toes to get a better look at the tall, nearly imposing figure. She guessed he was human…A really tall human!

      “ w what’s your n name?? y you’re tall… ”

He never stopped frowning. Anyagi? Like a goat? Now it looked kind of funny, trying to look at him. He did nothing to help her. She will have to deal on her own.

A rare soft chuckle escaped the snakeneck woman, honestly he was always so frank about these sort of things. Then again, she wasn’t much different either, both of them prefer actions over words. Giving a short nod she gladly took the offered donut and bit into it. 

“Indeed, he was able to escape my blade as well… “ which honestly was impressive in her eyes as well. 

Another moment of silence as her gaze drifted nowhere in particular but her mind was busy as always. Ever since that defeat and the news spreading across the world their crew was being carefully watched. Out of anticipation, fear or seeking chance to see the weakness in their family armor. 

“Mama is planning to  go to Wano….I’ll most likely join her on this endevor “

He frowned at another mention of the kid that defeated him. To lighten his mood a bit, he reached for a donut. He didn’t say anything about it, maybe because his mouth was full of sweets?

Katakuri shook his head when hearing about her plans, not intending to go for now. He’d rather stay at Totoland and get fully recovered.

“Good luck on your trip.”
