## One Piece Chapter 883, pages 5-6: Merienda - Chapter: 883 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Katakuri, Luffy ### Summary Page 5: Katakuri explains the true reason for ending the fight so abruptly: "BECAUSE I WAS TIED UP DEALING WITH YOU, I MISSED MY MERIENDA TODAY BY 40 MINUTES." A note clarifies that the kanji reads "snack time," and that a merienda is a snack-like light meal. Katakuri leaves the battlefield and tells his attendants, "YOU'LL BE AT PEACE SOON." They answer, "YES, SIR!" and call out, "PATISSIER!" The cooks are anxious because their master is so exacting. They say, "WE WERE SO VERY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WAS TO COME OF YOUR SNACK TIME TODAY!" and "WE'VE BEEN STANDING AT THE READY SINCE 3, BUT..." Another apologizes, "WE ARE SO VERY SORRY THAT YOU, LORD DOGTOOTH, BEING THE PERFECTIONIST YOU ARE, WERE FORCED TO RESCHEDULE THE MERIENDA YOU SO PUNCTILIOUSLY ENJOY AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY!" Even the tea is a problem: "AND AS FOR THE BLACK TEA, WHAT WITH 40 MINUTES PASSING SINCE IT WAS PREPARED, IT'S GONE COMPLETELY COLD, AND..." Page 6: Katakuri accepts the cold tea without complaint: "ICED TEA WILL DO, THEN." The attendants are moved by how he handles even a ruined schedule and cry, "HOW MAGNANIMOUS!" They announce, "TODAY'S MERIENDA IS CHOCOLATE AND WHIPPED CREAM DONUTS, LORD DOGTOOTH." Katakuri answers, "SUGAR IS THE WELLSPRING OF STRENGTH!" and adds, "I SHALL INTAKE THESE NUTRIENTS. NOT A SOUL IS TO ENTER MY SHRINE." The attendants obey at once: "OF COURSE! WHO WOULD DARE DISTURB YOU?! PLEASE, TAKE YOUR TIME!" They continue praising the mystery of his ritual. "NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN LORD DOGTOOTH EAT," one says. Another imagines, "WHAT A DELICATE SOUL. A MEAL IS WHEN A MAN LETS DOWN THE WALLS AROUND HIMSELF." A third adds, "HE MAKES EVEN THE TEA TIMES HE OUGHT TO SPEND IN THE CAREFREE COMPANY OF OTHERS..." The shrine closes around Katakuri's secret meal.
