Fortunately, the fall lasted a few seconds before you hit the ground. Since there was no destination on the other side of the mirror, Brûlée had left you in the Mirror World.

The place was even more sinister now that you were alone among all those mirrors.

Going back was impossible, since you didn't know which mirror you came out of and the ceiling was studded with them.

《And now which way should I go...?》

The echo of your voice confused you. When you took a step in front of you, the floor began to move as if it were alive.

You couldn't believe Brûlée had done this to you.

《They will pay me, damn it!》  You stepped hard on the purple floor; of course, Katakuri would have been the first to taste your anger...

At that moment, the ringing of your Den Den Mushi interrupted your intentions of revenge; Katakuri had suggested bringing one with you for emergencies...well, after what happened, you just wanted to throw it on the ground.

Without asking who was on the other side, you barked like a mad dog.
《...how could you leave me in such a place, you're a fucking idiot!》

Unfortunately, the voice that answered you wasn't from Brûlée or Katakuri, but the sweet and calm one of Pudding.

《Y/n? Are you okay?!》

You swallowed for being wrong, but happy to hear her after she disappeared during the ceremony.

《Pudding! Yeah, I'm fine...what about you, I worried to death for you!》

Her sweet laugh made you sigh.
《I'm fine too, hehe. I heard your voice during the castle collapse and wanted to make sure you were okay. I'm sorry I ran away like that!》

You hadn't thought about it at the time, but her tone seemed far too calm.

《...is that boy, Sanji, there with you?》  Perhaps, despite the chaos, she had managed to complete the mission that Big Mom had given her...your eyes widened when you heard a sob from her side.

《P-Pudding?! Don't tell me that...》

《I didn't make it! "Sniff" ...he...》  Her voice didn't stop shaking.  《He said he finds my eye beautiful!》

Pudding let herself go to a liberating cry, while you waited for her to speak again; inside you, you were glad she hadn't done what her mother would have wanted.

《Mama told me that any man would be disgusted with my third eye and I've always believed her! "Sniff"  But...but now I'm happy to know it wasn't true! "Sniff"

Despite being stuck in there, hearing Pudding and realizing her vulnerable side made you smile.

《You made the right choice, Pudding. I'm very proud of you.》

The brunette girl stopped crying.
《But...I still did a horrible thing to him...》

《What do you mean?》  This time you were worried too.

Suddenly, your Den Den Mushi fell silent.

《Oy Pudding, can you hear me?》

No reply.
