One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 628 Her choice had already been made

"Abandoning your family and fleeing to a distant land is the key to your becoming king."

"On the contrary, you will eventually face destruction."

"That's utter nonsense!"

In an instant, Katakuri wanted to cut off the fortune teller's tongue.

Anyway, losing her tongue won't affect her ability to make desserts.

Even after Mom found out, she didn't say much.

"If you don't cut off your tongue, how will you find out where your sister is?"

This made Katakuri, who was about to make a move, freeze for a moment.

Even so, Katakuri's veins bulged.

Katakuri, of course, wouldn't give up the opportunity to learn about Galette.

but……

“You don’t need to be so angry. There are countless people who want my tongue. You won’t be the last one to want to do so. I understand that my words may not be very pleasant.”

"Then they're really useless, leaving it in your mouth."

"Because, just like you, I've got their lifelines under my control."

The fortune teller seemed to recall something and laughed out loud.

"The truth is never pleasant to hear, but I can say what they want to hear, so no matter how unhappy they are, they can only leave my hateful tongue behind."

"It shouldn't be like this."

Katakuri suddenly realized something.

"If what you're saying is true, then you'd have a hard time staying here."

A guy who knows so many secrets.

A guy who knows the future.

They just appeared in front of me in such a grand manner.

Given her abilities, there are probably countless people who would want to exploit her, kill her, or control her.

"Why don't you guess why I can continue to live after speaking so recklessly? I don't think it's difficult."

In chaotic times, especially in this great age of pirates, those who can speak freely must have a special skill.

Diviners certainly have a special skill.

However, this also requires strength as a foundation.

The fortune teller who managed to preserve his tongue must have been no ordinary person.

At the very least, it shouldn't be just about manipulating people's hearts as a reliance.

She must have other things to rely on.

If I act so impulsively, I might be playing right into their hands.

"It seems you guessed it. In that case, let's talk this out calmly. In any case, you can take the dessert with you. If Mom is happy, your brothers and sisters can live in peace, right?"

She's right!

Although he didn't want to admit it, Katakuri knew she had a point.

That person had himself under control.

She knows herself very well.

No, it should be said that she even understands her mother very well.

This can be seen from her words and actions.

Is this the extent that divination can achieve?

This person even seems to know about their family dynamics.

She must have known more than just herself.

This was Katakuri's intuition.

something wrong.

Her words seemed to imply a desire to leave Tottoland.

why?

"Do you know me?"

This question seemed to silence the fortune teller.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

"Of course, there are very few people who don't know Katakuri."

"You should know that's not what I meant!"

Katakuri interrupted sharply.

"Let's put that topic aside for now and talk about your missing sister! I foresaw her trajectory a long time ago, which is quite interesting."

"What do you mean?"

Sure enough, Katakuri's voice became more urgent when his sister was mentioned.

I'm no longer dwelling on the previous issues.

"She gave up you all for the sake of becoming king."

What are you saying?

"You think I'm talking nonsense? Never mind, that's not important. But now you and she are facing the same problem."

“Those destined by heaven all possess extraordinary qualities that set them apart from the crowd. Your sister made her choice long ago, while you, because of your burdens, have been unable to become king for a long time. It’s a real pity.”

Katakuri had never felt so angry before.

How dare she...

How dare you say that?

"How can a mother who can kill her own children become a king? And you, who cannot become a king, will ultimately be unable to protect them."
