One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 630: Dai and Katakuri (First Stage)
"Is it coming soon?"

Katakuri sat on the main seat and listened to the reports from the Homies soldiers under his command.

"Yes, Master Katakuri! They have entered Cake Island and will soon enter the first level."

The Homiz soldier stood at attention and saluted.

"Understood, you go down."

Katakuri waved his hand and let the Homies soldiers leave, and he sighed, feeling a little tired. In fact, he did not quite agree with this plan. After all, this plan was a bit ridiculous, and it allowed the Red Hair Pirates to fight their way in like this. It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, how would outsiders see him?
"Then why don't you just not lose?"

At this time, Dai walked in from the side door, casually pulled a chair, sat down and said.

"what?"

Katakuri was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Dai meant. After all, he was sure that he had not said much just now, but was just thinking in his heart. The one who couldn't help but speak in his heart was his brother Perospero.

"It's written all over your face. Are you that worried?"

Dai learned a lot of miscellaneous things from Lily, one of which was to observe people's words and expressions. When she came in from the door, she saw Katakuri sighing there, and then she could guess from some micro-expressions that Katakuri was worried about the upcoming battle. Unlike her, who just wanted to fight for fun, Katakuri, as one of the actual leaders of the Ten Thousand Nations, had to consider more. He had to consider the consequences of this battle.

First of all, they must not let the Red Hair Pirates win, otherwise Banko would have no place to save face. Of course, they certainly cannot win. If the Red Hair Pirates can still win in front of him and Dai, then they should not consider the issue of breaking through the levels, but should consider how long the World Government will be uncomfortable with the Four Emperors becoming Five Emperors, and where the Five Emperors' territory is.

If he lost, how could he judge whether the other party had passed the test? After all, the other party's purpose was to apologize, and he couldn't really stop them from coming in. At this time, he had to grasp the degree. Whether he grasped the degree well was the key to the next step, and he hadn't thought clearly about how to calculate the standard for this problem.

"If you ask me, why not just put a clock here? As long as they are still standing after the time is up, they will be considered qualified. If not, then they will be considered failed and thrown to Cookie Island to start over."

Dai said bluntly.

"That's fine, but don't forget that there are the three people you brought and the checkpoints set up by my brothers and sisters ahead. It's a bit difficult for them to pass through there. We are here to wait for them to tire themselves out, so it always feels a bit unfair. If the time is too short, it won't work, and if it's too long, it won't be appropriate. That's why I have a headache."

Katakuri released his Observation Haki and checked the situation of the first level. The entire Cake Island was divided into four levels. He was at the fourth level. The first level was in charge of his younger brothers Opera and Yuuki Wakaba. Opera actually did not have much combat talent, as could be seen from the fact that he had only barely mastered creaming now. However, his ability in designing traps was not bad. Combined with Yuuki Wakaba's ability as a spider to weave webs to hunt, the combination of their abilities was quite good. However, the two of them were still not very good at dealing with the Red Hair Pirates. The entire territory was being rapidly breached. Yuuki Wakaba could still pose some threats, but Opera could only create some obstacles through various kinds of cream to help Yuuki Wakaba create some opportunities.

"It seems that it's only a matter of time before Yuuki Ruo breaks through. The next level is Caroline's. Yours is Armand, right? Is it okay for her to sneak over here?"

Dai also said while observing what was happening with her Observation Haki.

"What can I do? I'm her brother, and all I can do is to ensure that she doesn't get hurt. Besides, Armand isn't the type of person who can sit idle. If she's left at home taking care of the kids every day, she'll probably go crazy. It's inevitable that she'll run out to play while Moria is out. Oh, we've broken through and entered the safe zone. According to the requirements, we can't attack there. It's been exactly ten minutes, barely qualified, but it's all thanks to Yuuki Wakaba. Opera is still not fit for battle."

While the two were chatting, the battle of the first level was over. Under Buggy's strict defense, they successfully escorted everyone to the safe zone. Yuuki Wakaba's various spider webs and the blood exchange tactics played by her super fast recovery speed caused a lot of trouble to Buggy and others, but after all, they were still a little short of hard power, so the Red Hair Pirates passed without any danger. At this moment, they were standing in the safe zone, tasting the desserts that had been prepared long ago. "Don't flatter that little girl. We have told her many times about her problems. She never knows what cooperation is. This is something that we can't teach her. Alas, this stinky girl, if she didn't know how to cooperate, relying on Opera's ability, she could at least delay for another five or six minutes."

Although Dai is very crazy when fighting, she is really not a fool who only knows how to act recklessly. The White Tiger is in charge of killing and also in charge of swords. Since ancient times, marching and fighting are not a joke. Without a good brain, you can't win if you just act recklessly. Dai is the kind of person who looks crazy on the surface, but when it comes to real fighting, she is always rough but meticulous. It is impossible not to be good at it. Kaido and Lily have often given them inhumane tests on these things.

"Well, anyway, Opera is still not good at fighting. Next time, don't call him for this kind of thing. I hope he can take this opportunity to improve."

Katakuri was completely disappointed with Opera's talent in combat this time. After this matter is over, let Opera focus on managing logistics, which seems to be where Opera's real talent lies.

"It's the second level. I don't know how the time will be this time. Caroline might be a drag. Her attack speed is too slow. Although it is powerful, the overly large attack movements can be said to be full of flaws in front of a true master."

Dai spoke after sensing that the Red Hair Pirates had finished eating and drinking and were heading towards the second stage.

"It's okay to be slow, it just matches Armand's fruit ability. But I feel that this level will be a bit difficult for them. After all, I admire Armand a little bit. He actually convinced Brulee to fill the room with mirrors in such a short time, and there are no blind spots at all."

Thinking of what Armand did, Katakuri couldn't help but laugh. At that time, Armand claimed that she could hold off the Red Hair Pirates for an hour even if she was alone. At first, he thought she was bragging, but now it seems that with the ability of the Slow-Slow Fruit, if Armand really did it and didn't fail, this one hour is not just talk.

"Oh, did you step into a trap right from the start?"

Dai felt that the people of the Red Hair Pirates were half controlled by Armand's beam as soon as they entered the door. Then when Caroline smashed down with her Furnace Breaker Hammer, the people of the Red Hair Pirates had to choose to resist in order to cover those who were slowed down. Then, no one knew who was knocked away by this attack.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't lose at this level. It will be even more embarrassing."

Katakuri said this when he sensed the chaos in the second level.

"Anyway, no matter what, it's certain that two people have been killed. Two people have already withdrawn from the battle. Are your medical personnel ready? Caroline was very reckless in the fight. She's used to hitting people hard, but this time she was using all her strength to hit them."

Dai sensed that the second person was lying on the ground with blood spilled on the spot, motionless, and couldn't help but ask.

"We've been prepared for a long time. The Homies soldiers are on standby at all times. Any wounded will be brought out immediately. Look, they've already started moving. I wonder if the Red Hair Pirates can come up with a plan to break the impasse. If they drag on, they'll probably be worn out to death. Armand can fire continuously for seven hours."

Katakuri said as he picked up the donut next to him and took a bite.

"I don't know, but if they can find Caroline's weakness, they might be able to use Caroline's attack to smash the trap in the mirror room. After all, putting a hammer in a room full of mirrors is an obvious clue. If they can't remember it, they deserve to fail."

Dai took off her mask and took a sip of black tea and said.
