One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 400 Subtle changes

Dai didn't expect that her goal could be achieved so easily, and Katakuri didn't expect that his mother would be so proactive in untying his scarf. The sudden scene made people a little confused, but Dai still began to observe Katakuri's face carefully.

"Isn't this ugly? It's actually quite handsome. Why are you blocking it?"

Just when Katakuri had just come to his senses from Big Mom's actions and was about to pull up his scarf, Dai's words stunned Katakuri again.

"Don't you think my face is scary?"

Katakuri looked at Dai in a daze and asked stutteringly. If the people in Big Mom's pirate group saw Katakuri's expression and heard Katakuri's voice now, they would definitely not dare to admit that this was the usually cool and awesome Katakuri. Big Mom's second son, instead, looked like a timid little girl.

"Not scary? Seriously, your teeth are so handsome!"

Dai observed the fangs that were exposed even when Katakuri closed his mouth, and praised him generously. Katakuri was once again shocked by the worldview. From childhood to adulthood, none of his peers were not afraid of his mouth. Many people called him a monster because of this. Even his own brothers and sisters, many of them felt fear when they saw their mouths, especially in comparison with his two brothers Daifuku and Owen, who had no problems with their mouths.

The incident that caused Brulee to be injured because of this was an indelible shadow for Katakuri. Now, he was recognized by an outsider, a beauty like Dai, which made Katakuri a little overwhelmed. He couldn't help but look at Jin, wanting to know what Jin thought of him.

"Well, how should I put it? My aesthetic is different from Dai's. I don't think he's handsome, but I can't say he's ugly either. He's very ordinary. To be honest, I'll show you Archaon's face when he takes off his mask one day. That's really scary."

Jhin said it without hesitation. After all, he had been on the sea for such a long time and had seen all kinds of monsters. Katakuri was not a problem for him at all. But after seeing Archaon's face under the mask, the young Jhin felt so sick that he couldn't eat. Although Archaon's face has been healed now, Jhin still feels a little scared when he thinks of the situation at that time. The blood and flesh were so messy that his brain wished it could automatically block out these things.

Katakuri's fangs are really not good enough, what kind of level is this! Go to Fishman Island and the Furry Principality and you will see that not only fangs, but also horns are normal. Hiding them just for this is really a case of opening your eyes like a duck - it's unnecessary.

"Katakuri, I told you that you are not as bad as you think. It's just because I, as a mother, did something wrong that you can't get along with your peers. They are not afraid of you, and they don't want to hurt Brulee. From the beginning to the end, they are afraid of and want to hurt the crazy Charlotte Linlin, the crazy queen of all nations."

Charlotte Linlin put her hand on Katakuri's shoulder. Ever since she woke up completely, thinking back to what she had done back then, Big Mom sometimes wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Although a crack that could accommodate her could probably be called a canyon, that's what she meant.

So, from that day on, she began to learn how to care for her children, and even borrowed the parenting manuals that Kaido and Lily had read at the time. However, as she read on, she realized that there seemed to be no need to learn these things, because all she had to do was reverse what she had done before, and that would be the most appropriate method.

But it is easier said than done. Yes, each of her children can be regarded as an excellent child, and they almost obey the words of her, an unqualified mother. However, the source of this obedience is her former inhuman attitude. This also leads to the fact that now when she changes her attitude towards these children and wants to give them warmth and help them untie their knots, these overly obedient children make it difficult for her to start.

Katakuri is one of them. When he was a child, Katakuri actually didn't wear a scarf because he longed to be close to others. However, the children of his age were afraid of Big Mom, but did not dare to speak ill of her, so they directed their malice on Big Mom's children. Not only did Big Mom not stop them, she also made things worse by saying that Katakuri's face was disgusting and asked him to find something to cover it up. This undoubtedly cast a deeper shadow on Katakuri's imperfect mind at the time, and this shadow was not removed even after Big Mom apologized later. This is why Katakuri is so resistant to taking off his scarf. If he was facing an enemy, it would be okay, as long as he killed the enemy, but facing people like Jin and Dai, who could be called friends, Katakuri could only choose to escape.

And this seemingly funny thing may be an opportunity for Katakuri to truly have friends. After all, the "little girl" has taken the initiative to show her face, so it's okay for you to show your face. Big Mom decided to help Katakuri, and now it seems that she made the right move.

"Am I really not ugly?"

Katakuri was a little excited, but also a little confused. The two emotions were released on his face, and even made his expression look a little distorted. "Compared to the question of whether it is ugly or not, I think it depends on the person, just like everyone has their own way of appreciation. Maybe one day, there will be someone who thinks that stinky is fragrant, and fragrant is stinky. But at least I feel that there is nothing wrong with our aesthetics. In this regard, I can say that you are not ugly. It is just because of some innate differences that you are excluded by others. In fact, there is a child here in the Hundred Beasts. She was also excluded by the children on the island where she was at that time because of the devil fruit. In fact, it is essentially the same. When a child is a child, people will instinctively reject people who are different from themselves. It's like putting an ordinary child on Fishman Island. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with it in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the children of Fishman Island, he or she has no fangs, no webbed feet, can't breathe in water, etc., which can all be the reason for them to reject this child."

Lily also came over, patted Katakuri on the shoulder, then gave Big Mom a look. The two of them turned around and left at the same time, leaving only Jin, Dai and Katakuri standing there, at a loss.

"How about going for a drink?"

Looking at the silent atmosphere, Jin took the initiative to step forward and make a suggestion.

"Okay, go have a drink."

Katakuri nodded. He never expected things to come to this point.

"Let's go, let's go! You, it's not a big deal. I thought your mouth was scary, but it turns out to be pretty good. Let's go, let's go."

At this time, Dai once again returned to her silly nature. She tore off the crooked mask she was wearing, held Jin in one hand and Katakuri in the other, and walked towards the route they came from. However, the other two did not respond much.

Jin was completely exhausted and felt that he had suffered an unexpected disaster. Katakuri was still thinking about what Big Mom and Lily said, as well as Jin and Dai's attitudes just now. Was he really not ugly?

In this somewhat awkward atmosphere, the three of them walked back again. Fortunately, their actions just now did not knock over the food they had prepared, so they were still able to eat.

In the silent atmosphere, Katakuri was the first to raise the wine glass that Jin had handed to him, and said to Jin and Dai:
"thank you."

"Stop talking nonsense, you're really not ugly."

"Just be yourself and don't worry about what others think."

Jin and Dai also raised their glasses and spoke at the same time.

"Dang Cang."

With the sound of wine glasses clinking, the three people drank the wine in the glasses, and the lively atmosphere returned. The three people seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and began to chat and eat. The two masks and a scarf placed aside told some different stories. Some things have changed quietly, imperceptibly.
