Fortunately, the city hadn't been affected; as you progressed, the buildings appeared completely intact, even though they were made of bread. The palace seemed safe too, but unlike before, there was a deafening silence.

《Is it all over...?》  As you wondered who the winner was, a large shadow rose on the road ahead of you.
The adrenaline was still running through your veins and so, with one click, you pointed at the long silhouette that appeared behind you.

《What are you doing Y/n?》  You recognized his voice and lowered the weapon; a light breeze moved his crimson hair, scarf and waistcoat.
How could you not have recognized him?

《K-Katakuri...!》  You were happy to see him, despite the tiredness. As for him, he had missed your sweet smile.

《Where is he...?》  You asked, with a lump in the throat.

《He's still alive, but he can't hurt anyone anymore.》  At those words, you couldn't be still upset.

《I hope so.》  You approached him by leaning on one of his legs. Your head could barely get past his knee.

Katakuri lifted you up into the air by making you sit on his forearm.
《I'm sorry for throwing you away, but it was the only way to protect you by moving away from him.》  He said wiping your shiny eyes.

《What happened to your scarf?》  It had been damaged during the fight; every time you touched it, it lost an excessive amount of feathers. The threads of Doflamingo had shredded the fabric.
《Show me your face, you could be hurt.》  But he stopped you.

《Don't worry about me.》  He noticed that your clothes were wet and asked what had happened to you.

《A dip in the sea, but nothing to worry about...》  You ran a short laugh.
《I had to fix a couple of things.》

《I see.》  He stretched his hand over your face; even if it wasn't the right time for this, you didn't want anything else when he was with you.
《It would be better to go to Sweet City, you will be safe there.》

You were perplexed.
《Is there something that worry you?》

《...it's nothing, but I need some confirmation.》  His pace quickened; he said nothing to you, but in his face you could read that there was something that troubled him.

On the way, you met Daifuku and Oven.
《Perospero and Cracker stayed behind to watch the pink flamingo.》  Said Daifuku.

《We could leave the rest to Mama, or get the Navy to come here...what do you think, Katakuri?》  Added Oven.

《Big Mom doesn't want any Navy ships on Tottoland. His ship has been seized, all that remains is–...》  At that point, screams stopped Katakuri's speech. Behind him, you saw Perospero running towards you.

《T-the body is gone!》  You were baffled.

《What do you mean? What did you and Cracker do there?!》  Oven intervened, agitated.

In the meantime, Katakuri had put you down.
《I'm going to check it out for myself.》He noticed you were following him and stopped you.
《If it's true, he mustn't have gone very far and if he is looking for you, he mustn't find you. Oven, Daifuku, I leave you Y/n.》

The twins stayed with you as you watched your husband leaving your part.
You weren't quiet at all; it could have been a bait to hit Katakuri from behind, or you.
《Y/n-chan, why did you stop? At this rate it will take us a lifetime to reach–...》
