Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Katakuri experienced death as his Observation Haki showed him the future, which will become true in a few seconds. With cold sweat coming from his back, Katakuri experienced similar fear only from Big Mom herself when she lost control due to the lack of sweets she wanted to eat.

"...there has been a misunderstanding which results in a little skirmish. I will release them if you promise me there will be no more fight and I can meet the Big Mom." Hades stood up from the log, threw away the stick into the fire and grabbed the sword next to him. Seeing this, Katakuri decided to give a different response to change the incoming future.

"We are only here to investigate what happened to our brother and sister. If you are indeed from the Underworld and come to meet Big Mom, I will escort you to her but only if you give your word that you will make no trouble from now on." Hearing this, everyone except Hades was surprised, this was completely different from what they all expected. Perospero tried to protest but Oven stopped him as only Oven and Daifuku truly trusted Katakuri's decision.

"Perospero, Katakuri must have good reason to make that decision. Didn't you see how suddenly he got nervous? It is as if he saw something he didn't want to see." Oven told Perospero and ordered everyone to stand down their weapons. Meanwhile, Daifuku gathers a few chess soldiers and field doctors to aid Smoothie and Cracker's injuries.

"It is good to hear someone can be reasonable in the Charlotte family. My apologies for these two's injuries, it kinda went out of my hand when we spar a little bit." Hades put his sword in his back as he slowly walked away from the camp and approached halfway to where Katakuri is.

"Shall we go to her now?" Hades asks as he throws a key to Daifuku, which he caught midair and proceeds to go and help his siblings.

"Brûlée!" Katakuri said and the tall witch with a long red nose and purple hair step out, stands next to her brother.

"Yes brother Katakuri, you called me?" Brûlée asked as she looked at Hades with an evil smile. At this point, Hades was sure he would travel with them through the mirror world using Brûlée's Mirror Mirror fruit or she would give him a poisonous apple just like in a certain princess from the Brothers Grimm storybook.

"Open the mirror world so we can travel to Whole Cake Island immediately. Also brother Perospero, please take care of this while we are gone." Katakuri instructed as Brûlée opened the mirror world as she created a large mirror big enough for Katakuri to walk into. As Hades, Brûlée and Katakuri walk into the mirror world, Katakuri asks Hades a few questions as Brûlée tries to navigate and find the correct mirror for the Whole Cake Island.

"Knowing my Smoothie and Cracker, I assume they tried to detain you, am I right?" Katakuri asked as he walked next to Hades.

"Actually, no. Smoothie did try to capture me but in the end, she made a judgment to kill me. For the Cracker, he just got in the middle of our battle. I'm surprised you decided to take me to Big Mom, what did you see through Observation Haki?" Hades asks him, knowing the possible reason why.

"I saw blood baths and heavy casualties, so I decided to change the course with a different path. Don't think too hard about changing the future, Observation Haki shows the user the future but it is up to the user to decide what to do with it. I decided to take you to Big Mom instead of fighting you." Katakuri explained as Brûlée finally found the correct mirror to the main lounge in the Whole Cake Chateau, the castle of the Big Mom.

"This is it, I will go in first to inform Big Mom," Brûlée said as she exited the mirror world and disappeared. Hades was about to exit when Katakuri stopped him to ask a question.

"Why did you come here? You said you are the King of the Underworld but you have no reason to come and meet Big Mom in person. After all, she will end up inviting you to the next Tea Party."

"I didn't come here just to introduce myself to her. I came here to make a deal and strengthen my position before anyone else has a funny idea later on." Hades said to Katakuri as he stepped forward and exited the mirror world.

When Katakuri heard Hades's reason, the only thing he could think of was, 'Crazy kid' and follow Hades, leaving the mirror world.

Whole Cake Chateau, Big Mom's Castle,

In the center of the Whole Cake Island, the tallest building tower over other buildings as it resembles four layered cake. It is known as Whole Cake Chateau and has 9 floors, big enough for a giant person such as Big Mom to live. Each floor has various uses from the library to personal living quarters, but the rooftop is famous for one thing, Big Mom's infamous Tea Party where you can enjoy the view and eat tasty treats.

Hades didn't come here for any of that, he is focused on one thing and one thing only. To ally with Big Mom Pirates one way or another and at the end of the day, Hades will get what he wants even if it costs him a soul.

25 Minutes Later, Outside of Queen's Chamber,

"Big Mom will see you know. She only wants to meet the guest alone." A big ice cream spoke to Hades and Katakuri while the second ice cream with arms opened the door. Before Katakuri could object, Hades pulled out his sword and gave it to one of the Homies.

"Don't lose it, I just bought this not long ago. Now, I'm harmless as a small white rabbit." Hades said as he walked into the chamber.

The queen's chamber is a two-story room, decorated with cakes, ice creams and candies. In the middle, Big Mom herself seats on the throne made out of sweets and ice cream sundae as she is busy eating different kinds of sweet snacks in front of her. Hades didn't say anything and waited as Big Mom continued to devour her snacks until their large table was empty. Before Hades can introduce himself, Big Mom spoke first,

"I know who you are, boy. I have my network of spies all around the world and you don't impress me. Not to mention I'm the third Yonko you visited, so why did you come here?" Big Mom said as she threw a paper file at Hades.

Looking at the file, the report shows various information on his past appearance around islands and investigation on his past. The earliest report is from Water 7 and conflict with the Franky Family. Still, there is no information on his past or anyone close to him such as family members or close friends.

"I'm here to propose a business opportunity between Totto land and my underworld. According to my investigation, your economy is 0% export and 100% import. I know you are a pirate kingdom but there is no solid foundation on the stable income. For this reason, I propose a chance to build that foundation and gain a close ally at the same time. Give me exclusive trade access and I will make sure you will experience new sweet treats while your kingdom gets stronger."

Hades explained to Big Mom but by the time he was done she didn't bother to show any sign of interest or attention as she was once again busy eating her sweets. Hades expected this kind of response but didn't expect her to ignore the part on 'new sweet treats'. Big Mom stopped in the middle of her second dessert as if she had a brilliant idea.

"I don't need a business partner, but I like your idea of allying. If you become a part of my family, not only will I have the underworld under my control but also access to exclusive sweets. Hades, you will marry one of my daughters." Big Mom declares her decision as she lifts her teacup, "It will be a grand Tea Party and it will be marvelous!"
