One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 631 Dai and Katakuri (Second Stage)

Half an hour, an hour, time passed by minute by minute. Half of the twenty or so members of the Red Hair Pirates had lost their combat effectiveness, and they had only traveled halfway. Moreover, they had now arrived at a place where mirrors were most densely packed. It could be said that Armand could just release a light wave and cover all the remaining members of the Red Hair Pirates. If it weren't for the domineering aura of Shanks, Buggy and Beckman being enough to offset some of their abilities, they would probably have been wiped out by now.

"Still haven't figured it out? Caroline never changed the hammer. She didn't even replace her two small hammers. She just kept using the big hammer. Don't they understand?"

Dai said with some disappointment. He thought these two people who were praised by Kaido and Lily could be very capable, but they still haven't figured out such a simple thing.

"No, they should have reacted. Didn't you notice? Although the location they are in now is very dangerous, it is also the center of the entire mirror room. As long as the mirror here is damaged, the mirror trap in this room will be destroyed. This is why Armand's attacks have become more frequent. He even went from hiding behind the scenes at the beginning and letting Caroline attack alone to attacking together. Obviously, Armand has discovered the people of the Red Hair Pirates and found the "spring" here. If we don't stop him, I'm afraid the formation will be broken."

Katakuri observed more carefully. As the military commander of Wano Country, he rarely got carried away in battle. Most of the time he observed carefully and got a good understanding of the enemy before fighting. This time was no different. He needed to know the combat habits of the Red Hair Pirates. Although his Observation Haki was not very clear, it was still somewhat useful. Because of this, he discovered the intentions of the Red Hair Pirates at the first time.

Obviously they also knew that simply smashing the mirrors would not be enough to break the impasse. The remaining mirrors would still bounce light waves back and affect them. Only by shattering everything from the central spring could they completely destroy this mirror maze.

"Okay, I underestimated them, but we lost half of our men in this level. If we face Xia Ji and the others in the next level, will Shanks and Buggy be the only ones standing before us in the end?"

Dai shook the chair so hard that it creaked, and said in a very bored tone that this kind of battle was really boring to her. After all, if it were her, she would be able to break everything with one force and rush in directly, destroying everything in front of her in one breath before the people inside could react.

"It's possible. At most, we can add Beckman. At first, I was optimistic about the fishman named Tiger, but now it seems that his domineering power is not enough, at least not enough to pose a threat. The situation in the next level may be a nightmare for him and it will be difficult to overcome."

Katakuri analyzed.

"Oh! It's still destroyed. Very smart. He knew that his attack would not be so effective against such a large mirror, so he chose to directly induce Caroline's attack and cause large-scale damage? This level is passed."

Dai felt the situation over there. She didn't even need her Observation Haki. Through her excellent five senses, she could even feel the earth shaking here. It was obvious that Caroline did not hold back at all this time.

"The next step is a head-on confrontation. Although Armand is quite strong, he is not as strong as Moria. Moria couldn't stop them before, so I'm afraid Armand won't be able to stop them either. Caroline, I'm not sure, what do you think?"

Katakuri looked at Dai, picked up the plate beside him and handed it to Dai and asked.

"No match for her. I've said it before. Caroline's attacks are powerful and heavy, which makes them unsuitable for indoor combat. She will also have a hard time facing a nimble opponent. Now without the support of Armand's almost always-hitting slow light waves, the next battle will definitely be limited in every way. In this case, Caroline's threat is not even as great as Yuuki Wakaba's. As long as the people in the Red Hair Pirates don't foolishly fight head-on, there will be no problem."

Dai took the plate without hesitation, picked up a piece of dessert, took a bite and said that these desserts with five percent sugar content were very suitable for her taste. Indeed, in terms of desserts alone, Wan Guo was indeed the best in the world.

"Then the next question is time. Do you want to make a bet? How long will it take for the Red Hair Pirates to break out of this room?"

Katakuri took a bite of the giant donut beside him and said vaguely that he felt hungry after sitting for a long time and wanted to eat something to replenish his appetite. It was also time for morning tea. (Morning tea is a feature of Wanguo, similar to afternoon tea, but the time is 9 am)

"About half an hour. If we can't get out in half an hour, it's possible that we will be wiped out in the next level. But I think Caroline and Armand will definitely not give up, so I guess half an hour. Oh, delicious. What's the name of this snack? The red bean paste inside is great."

Dai asked, holding up the dessert in her hand. "I guess it's fifteen minutes. Armand's mind is in turmoil. Her slow sword technique must remain calm in order to exert the greatest power. Under the current circumstances, I'm afraid fifteen minutes is the limit. This thing is called bean flour cake. The bean paste inside is the finest kind. It is carefully ground from the carefully selected small red beans on the Crunchy Island. The other long one is called donkey rolls. I don't know why it is called this name. It was made by a dessert chef from the Kingdom of Flowers. It is said to be a classic dessert of the Kingdom of Flowers. In fact, I don't understand it very well. I still like donuts."

After Katakuri expressed his thoughts, he began to answer Dai's questions about snacks. It was quite nice to chat with Dai. Katakuri, who had just been thinking about the lawsuit and what to do, could now half-jokingly make a bet with Dai.

"Really? This is not bad either. Is it brown sugar? It's cooked just right, not too sweet, but not lacking in flavor either. But what's that sprinkled on the outside? How come it has both of these?"

Dai shook the donkey roll in her hand, and light yellow powder fell down. It didn't have much taste in her mouth, but there was a peculiar fragrance that made Dai curious. She really ate a lot of good things in Wanguo this time. She felt that she would gain weight when she returned.

"Bean noodles, fried. I don't understand it either. I have no problem eating it, but I can't cook it. I can only explain this much to you, and that's the limit for me."

Although Katakuri is a foodie, no one says that a foodie must know how to cook. There are so many chefs on the island anyway, and he doesn't need to be good at everything, right? Even if he is number one on the list of good brothers, there are things he can't do, which is normal.

"Okay, give me some more. Breakfast was too sweet and I didn't eat much. This is not too sweet and is just right for me."

Dai didn't hesitate. After finishing the snacks on the plate, she said directly, "Do you need to be polite to others, Katakuri? We are so familiar with each other, there is no need to be polite."

"Okay, next time if the food doesn't suit your taste, just tell us directly. Leaving the guests hungry is something that Wan Guo absolutely cannot tolerate."

Katakuri took the plate, controlled the rice cake that grew on his body, and handed the plate to the door. Soon the Homies soldiers were ready. After all, the situation on Dei's side could not be seen by others.

"Okay, I'll tell you next time. Oh, you win, sixteen minutes and twenty-eight seconds. Caroline gave up. It seems that she didn't bring the hammer this time, otherwise it wouldn't be such a short time."

Dai felt that the battle of the second level was over, and the time was closer to Katakuri's guess. Dai then noticed that Caroline did not bring a small hammer suitable for indoor combat this time. No wonder the fighting was so strange.

"It looks like I won, but it seems like we didn't bet on anything, so forget it."

Katakuri said nonchalantly that it was just a joke.

"That's so boring. How about this, next time you go to Onigashima, I'll treat you. I found some delicious food in Wano Country recently, I'll take you to try it next time."

Dai said, waving her hand.

"Okay, your snacks are here. The efficiency is a little scary this time."

Katakuri felt the movement of the Homie soldiers at the door, and Mochio reached out, and after a while brought back a huge plate of dim sum. The weight made Katakuri a little frightened. How did those Homie soldiers get them in such a short time? What Katakuri didn't know was that Big Mom had actually given an order, and a group of people were waiting outside, just to let the two of them have a good chat.
