Chapter 36 Return (Part 2)
New World, Cake Island.
Jhin stared closely at Katakuri in front of him, not looking at the others, and asked: "Can I think that you are ready to fight me?"
Next to her, L'Aquila remained silent, but as she looked at the opponent's troops with increasingly murderous eyes, she waited for Jhin's order, showing no fear of being in the territory of the Four Emperors.
"This is just a small reminder. You are no longer in Wanokuni! This is our territory, and outsiders are not allowed to run wild! If you dare to mess around, not even Kaido can save you!"
Katakuri snorted coldly, then raised his hand to persuade everyone to retreat, saying: "But now I know you are not so stupid. Since you destroyed our outpost troops before, this time it is even!"
Jhin also tried his best to persuade himself to calm down his anger. The flames behind him gradually diminished, and he regained his composure and asked, "Then, can we continue talking about the ceremony?"
"Don't worry, I told you that you need to ask your mother about this!" Katakuri tugged on the scarf on his face, but showed no intention of moving.
While Jin was confused, a mirror in the castle rippled like water, and a woman with a withered face like a witch came out.
She is the eighth daughter of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Bree. She is also the mirror person who ate the Paramecia Mirror Fruit. She can control and create mirrors, reflect and copy any object, and can even absorb light beams to transform into other people. Enemies who touch the mirror are sucked into the "mirror world" and imprisoned.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Her laughter was as evil and sinister as a witch's.
"Bree, what do you think of mom?" Katakuri didn't look back, still staring at Jhin.
Bree smiled sinisterly and said: "Brother Katakuri, mother said! Since they are guests from afar, we must treat them warmly! We can't let them go back in such a disappointed mood. We will talk about other things later!"
The members of the Charlotte family looked at each other with an elusive smile.
The two of them didn't say anything, but they were already ready for what happened next.
Katakuri then walked up to a mirror and said: "Since we are not in a hurry, why not come to my private villa for a cup of black tea, and let me entertain Wanokuni's guests on behalf of the family!"
"Jin! You won't deny me face, right? If you don't dare to come, you can just say so. I never force a timid person!"
Jhin was still speechless, but the flames behind him surged higher again.
After a moment of silence, he did not answer the other party, but turned to L'Aquila and said lightly: "Before I come out, don't let anyone come in and disturb me!"
L'Aquila did not reply, just her eyes showed her determination.
Jhin didn't say another word, turned around with a big stride, followed Katakuri into the rippling mirror, and disappeared.
Bree, who had a habit of wanting to follow in, was immediately blocked by R'Aquila who teleported to the front. The other party's cold eyes immediately frightened her into a cold sweat.
At this time, Katakuri's voice came from the mirror, saying: "Bree, you don't have to come in! I will tell you after it's over!"
The other members of the Charlotte family would naturally not disobey his order, but at this moment they all gathered around the mirror, staring at L'Aquila who was standing in front of the mirror with unkind expressions.
He faced this New World's famous monster family alone, his face unchanged, standing there like an emotionless robot, waiting quietly.

Mirror world.
This is a different space opened by the ability to create the Mirror Fruit. The floor and walls are made of uneven patterned tiles. All kinds of mirrors can be seen everywhere. In theory, it can lead to any place in the world with a mirror. It is an extremely One of the most strategic capabilities.
Two tall figures stood here at this moment, looking at each other for a long time without saying anything.
Jhin was the first to break the silence and said, "I really thought you would buy me a drink first!"
Katakuri said, "That's true!"
As soon as he stepped with his right foot, the ground beneath his feet instantly became waxy and flowing. The empty ground behind him gradually rose up and continued to deform and solidify, finally forming a unique white palace.
Jhin looked at this scene and said calmly: "It seems that it is very difficult to develop your abilities!"
"This is just my first glimpse of the path to awakening!" Katakuri took out a pocket watch from his arms and checked the time.
"It's almost my tea time, don't you mind waiting a little longer?"
Jhin was startled, then said: "I don't want to bully hungry people either!"
At this time, three chefs pushing a dining cart quickly ran over from another place.
A large pot of steaming black tea and a large number of giant donuts were placed on the car.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time, Katakuri-sama! Because you suddenly ordered to prepare one more person, time is a little rushed!" The three of them said tremblingly with cold sweat on their faces.
Because they were recently assigned to serve Katakuri's personal chefs, and they heard that the three previous senior chefs who had followed him for many years offended Katakuri because of something, and they were all executed. Since then, the chefs of Cake Island They all kept silent about this gentleman, for fear that they would be killed if they did not serve him well.
"It doesn't matter, you came just in time!" Katakuri's will pulled the ground and brought the dining car into the palace, and then he and Jhin also entered one after another.
After the palace door was closed, the three of them exhaled and quickly left the place.
The furniture and decorations in the palace also implement Katakuri's perfect style. Everything is exquisite and complete. Even the tables and chairs are customized according to the two people's body shapes.
Katakuri first poured a cup of black tea for each of them and said, "This is a top-quality brand of black tea, specially made by us at Totto Land. Even those with money outside can't drink it!"
Then he took the lead in picking up a glass and tasted it carefully. He felt particularly relaxed and comfortable, no longer as aggressive as before, as if the person sitting in front of him was not an opponent about to fight fiercely.
Jin was not restrained. He picked up the cup and took a sip, then put it down and asked, "How many years ago was the last time we fought?"
While drinking, Katakuri replied: "It's been ten years!"
"Who has won before?"
"Evenly matched!"
Jhin asked again: "Then who do you think will win this time?"
Katakuri put down the empty cup and said calmly: "Are you trying to say that you are?"
"No, I did think so before, but now, I'm not sure either!" Jhin looked at the other person with a normal expression as he took off the scarf around his neck, revealing that ferocious and exaggerated fanged mouth.
"It's precisely because of the uncertainty that I feel the long-lost excitement! That's why I'm interested in fighting you!"
