One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 623 Knowing the future comes at a price

The weather is nice today!

It's just that wearing a scarf isn't really suitable anymore.

Katakuri looked at the scorching sun in the sky, somewhat dazed.

Mom eventually calmed down.

Of course, this comes at a price.

Besides the price he had to pay, he also did not forget his promise.

Looking for new desserts for my mother.

This is what Katakuri needs to do on this trip.

This time, he didn't bring too many people with him on his trip.

There were no siblings with him.

After all, the current situation is unfavorable.

It's best not to be too flashy.

Furthermore, finding desserts doesn't require making a big fuss.

Furthermore, if he fails to complete the task, Katakuri does not want his other siblings to bear the brunt of his anger.

Moreover, this is not an easy task.

Totland can be described as a dessert country.

The best ingredients are available here.

The best chef.

They went to great lengths to satisfy the Queen's appetite.

At least they can't find any fault with the donuts they made for themselves.

Katakuri wasn't very confident that he could find a better dessert than Tottoland.

However, at this time, he received a letter.

There is only one address inside.

But there, Katakuri smelled a sweet aroma.

Before it was in my hands, it had been with some very delicious food.

Was this targeting me?

It's like a trap.

Of course, Katakuri is fearless.

It's just the tactics of an incompetent person.

All he had to do was complete his mother's task.

So he came here.

But it was a sparsely populated country.

There are few people, and even fewer things.

There are very few things that can even be called food, let alone desserts.

It was like a prank.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance.

Katakuri, who has a great love for sweets, was immediately drawn to it.

And it's a familiar scent.

His Observation Haki wouldn't deceive him; it was the scent of that letter.

Hey! Who are you?!

"Uh... is there something you need?"

If someone who is at least five meters tall suddenly calls you out by name, most people would be a little scared.

So he retreated in fear.

This annoyed Katakuri.

Where did you get your desserts from?

Katakuri pointed to the cake in his hand.

You mean this?

The visitor seemed relieved by his question.

"Given by a fortune teller."

"A fortune teller?"

"Yes. A fortune teller!"

As if she had thought of something, she lowered her voice.

"A strange woman who seems to know the future!"

"what?"

Katakuri's eyebrows were furrowed.

"Well, I'm not too sure either, but if you go to her, she'll ask you some strange questions, and then give you a blessing or a curse. Of course, she'll also give you dessert!"

ha?

Hearing such a fairytale-like plot, Katakuri felt a headache coming on.

Just like Totland.

Was it something that the fortune teller sent me?

What's the purpose?

This place is sparsely populated, making it difficult to even set up an ambush.

Perhaps he should have asked more, but he still asked a very crucial question.

"She can make desserts?"

"Yes! It's incredibly delicious! I swear I've never eaten anything this good in my life!"

"Where is she?"

"You're looking for her in that wooded area behind the mountain? I have to advise you, it's best not to!"

"why?"

"Because she's a fortune teller!"

"what?"

"Don't you understand? She might be able to predict your future. Whether it's good or bad! Once she says it, what hope is left for your entire life? You can't even run away! That's the price of knowing the future!"

This made Katakuri fall silent.

But then another question came to mind.

"You know so much, yet you still went to a fortune teller!"

"I couldn't help it, her desserts were just too delicious!"

After saying that, he took a big bite of the cake.

Katakuri: "..."

Now that he had a clear idea of ​​what he wanted to do, he had a goal.

If things go smoothly when I go back this time, Mom should let bygones be bygones.

As for the rest, none of that matters.

Katakuri then proceeded toward the indicated destination.

After watching him walk away, the person wolfed down the cake and took out a Den Den Mushi.

"The target has been successfully hooked!"
