Chapter 400: Subtle Changes

Dai didn't expect that her goal would be accomplished so easily, and Katakuri didn't expect that her mother would take the initiative to untie her scarf. The sudden scene made people's brains a little confused, but Dai still began to observe Katakuri's face carefully.

"Isn't it ugly? It's quite handsome? Why are you blocking it?"

When Katakuri just came back to his senses from Big Mom's behavior and was about to pull up his scarf, Dai's words stunned Katakuri again.

"Don't you think my face is scary?"

Katakuri looked at Dai blankly and asked stutteringly. If the people in the Big Mom Pirates saw Katakuri's expression and heard Katakuri's voice now, they would never dare to admit that this is the usually cool Katakuri, Big Mom's second son, but looks like a timid little girl.

"Not scary? Seriously, your fangs are super cool!"

Dai observed Katakuri's fangs that were exposed even when he closed his mouth, and praised him generously. Katakuri was once again shocked by the worldview. From childhood to adulthood, his peers were all afraid of his mouth. Many people called him a monster because of this. Even his younger brothers and sisters felt scared when they saw his mouth, especially with the two brothers Daifuku and Owen as a comparison. There was nothing wrong with their mouths.

The fact that Brulee was injured because of this was an indelible shadow for Katakuri. Now, there was actually an outsider, and a beautiful woman like Dai, who recognized him. Katakuri was really at a loss. He couldn't help but look at Jin, wanting to know what Jin thought of him.

"Well, how should I put it? My aesthetics are different from Dai's. I don't think he's handsome, but I can't say he's ugly either. It's very ordinary. To be honest, I'll show you Archaon's face when he took off his mask one day. That's scary."

Jin said without hesitation. After all, he had been on the sea for so long and had seen many monsters. Katakuri was not a problem for him at all. Jin, who was still very young at the time, felt so sick that he couldn't eat after seeing Archaon's face under the mask. Although Archaon's face has been cured now, Jin still feels a little scared when he thinks of the situation at that time. The blood and flesh are so blurred that his brain wants to automatically block these things.

And Katakuri's fangs are really not good enough. What level is this! Go to Fishman Island and the Furry Principality. Let alone fangs, growing horns is normal. It's really a duck opening its eyes to hide it just for this little thing - it's unnecessary.

"Katakuri, I've said before, you're not as bad as you think, it's just because I, as a mother, did something wrong that caused you to be unable to get along with your peers. They're not afraid of you, and they don't want to hurt Brulee either. From beginning to end, they're afraid of and want to hurt Charlotte Linlin, the crazy queen of all nations."

Charlotte Linlin put her hand on Katakuri's shoulder. Since she woke up completely, thinking back to what she did back then, Big Mom sometimes wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Although the crack that could accommodate her could probably be called a canyon, that's what she meant.

So, from that day on, she began to learn to care for her children, and even borrowed the parenting manuals that Kaido and Lily had read at the time from them, but as she read them, she realized that it seemed unnecessary to learn this stuff, because she just had to reverse what she had done before, and that was the most appropriate method.

But it is easier said than done. Yes, each of her children is an excellent child, and they almost obey the words of her, an unqualified mother. However, the source of this obedience is precisely her former inhuman attitude. This also leads to her changing her attitude to treat these children now. When she wants to give them warmth and help them untie their knots, these overly obedient children make it difficult for her to start.

Katakuri is one of them. When he was a child, Katakuri didn't wear a scarf. He was eager to get close to others, but the children of his age were afraid of Big Mom, but they didn't dare to say bad things to Big Mom, so they put these malice on Big Mom's children. Big Mom not only didn't stop it, but also made things worse by saying that Katakuri's face was disgusting and asked him to find something to cover it up. This undoubtedly cast a deeper shadow on Katakuri's unhealthy mind at the time. This shadow was not removed even after Big Mom apologized. This is why Katakuri was so resistant to taking off his scarf. If it was when facing the enemy, it would be fine. Just kill the enemy, but facing people like Jin and Dai who can be called friends, Katakuri can only choose to escape.

And this seemingly funny thing may be an opportunity for Katakuri to really have a chance to have friends. After all, the "little girl" took the initiative to show her face, and it's nothing for you to show your face. Big Mom decided to help Katakuri. Now it seems that she did not make a wrong move.

"Am I really not ugly?"

Katakuri was a little excited, but also a little confused. The two emotions were released on his face, even making his expression look a little distorted.

"Compared to the question of whether it is ugly or not, I think it depends on the person, just like everyone has their own way of appreciating. Maybe one day, there will be someone who thinks that stinky is fragrant, and fragrant is stinky. But at least I feel that there is nothing wrong with our aesthetics. In this regard, I can say that you are not ugly. It is just because of some innate differences that you are excluded by others. In fact, there is a child here in the Hundred Beasts. She was also excluded by the children on the island where she was at that time because of the devil fruit. In fact, it is essentially the same. When people are children, they will instinctively reject people who are different from themselves. It's like putting an ordinary child on Fishman Island. Obviously, there is no problem in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the children of Fishman Island, he or she has no fangs, no webbed feet, can't breathe in the water, etc., which can be the reason for them to reject this child."

Lily also came over, patted Katakuri on the shoulder, and then gave Big Mom a wink. The two turned around and left at the same time, leaving only Jin, Dai and Katakuri standing there, at a loss.

"How about, let's go have a drink?"

Jin looked at the silent atmosphere and took the initiative to stand up and suggest.

"Okay, let's go have a drink."

Katakuri nodded. He didn't expect things to go this far.

"Let's go! You guy, it's not a big deal. I thought your mouth could be so scary, but it turned out to be pretty good, right? Let's go, let's go."

Dai regained her silly nature at this time, tore off the crooked mask, held Jin in one hand and Katakuri in the other, and walked towards the route they came from, but the other two did not respond too much.

Jin was completely tired and felt that he had suffered an unexpected disaster, while Katakuri was still thinking about what Big Mom and Lily said, as well as Jin and Dai's attitude just now. Is he really not ugly?

In this somewhat awkward atmosphere, the three of them walked back again. Fortunately, the actions of the few people just now did not knock over the food they prepared, so they could still eat it.

In the silent atmosphere, Katakuri was the first to raise the wine glass that Jin had handed to him, and said to Jin and Dai:

"Thank you."

"Stop talking nonsense, you are really not ugly."

"Just be yourself, don't care what others think."

Jin and Dai also raised their glasses and said at the same time.

"Dang."

With the sound of the wine glasses colliding, the three drank the wine in the glasses, and the lively atmosphere returned. The three seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and started chatting and eating. The two masks and a scarf placed aside told some different stories. Some things have been quietly changed in a subtle way.
