## One Piece Chapter 883: Merienda - Chapter: 883 - Pages: 0-16 - Characters: Ideo, Luffy, Katakuri, Brulee ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 883 is titled "Merienda." The cover page also promotes "SUPER KABUKI II ONE PIECE IS A HUGE HIT! DON'T MISS THIS ACTION-PACKED ROMP!" The cover story continues: "DROPPING IN ON THE LIVES OF THE STRAW HAT GRAND PIRATE FLEET, VOL. 17, IDEO ARC 'JOINED A FIGHT AND BEAT UP BOTH SIDES!'" Ideo's group is shown in the middle of a chaotic fight, having apparently intervened so forcefully that both sides of the conflict were defeated. Page 2: Luffy finally commits to Gear Fourth. He bites into his arm, pumps air into his body, and declares, "MUSCLE BALLOON!" as the force builds with "FWOOM!" and "FULL POWER!" His body swells into the heavy, armored form needed to fight Katakuri directly. Katakuri watches without panic, but the transformation is not clean or gentle; Luffy jerks, gasps, and strains through "GUHH!" "GUH!" "BUH!" and "JERK" as Haki spreads over his inflated arms. When the power finishes surging, Luffy's massive body launches backward across the Mirror World with "WAAGH!" The page is the start of his counterattack, but it also shows how costly the form is: Luffy has to force his wounded body into the shape of a weapon before he can try to break through Katakuri's control. Page 3: Katakuri studies Luffy instead of rushing him. He says, "AS I FIGHT YOU, I REMIND MYSELF WHY, WHEN FACED WITH AN OBVIOUS POWER-UP, IT'S ESSENTIAL TO JUST SHUT UP AND OBSERVE." Luffy slides through the Mirror World, and Katakuri calls after him, "OI, STRAW HAT LUFFY!" Then he states the result of his observation: "KNOW THIS: I HAVEN'T UNDERESTIMATED YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST!" Luffy tries to answer with the inflated power he has gathered, but Katakuri's grip and the awakened mochi around the battlefield keep the pressure on. Luffy reacts, "WHA-" and then realizes the substance around him is closing in: "MOCHI?!" The room itself is becoming part of Katakuri's attack, and Luffy understands that Gear Fourth alone has not freed him from the enemy's terrain. Page 4: Huge mirrored masses of mochi descend from above as Katakuri names the technique, "MIRROR MOCHI!" Luffy sees the scale of it and panics: "CRAP! IF I GET CRUSHED BY THAT AMOUNT OF MOCHI, I'LL BE BURIED ALIVE!" The mochi slams down around him, and Katakuri answers with cold certainty: "INDEED... YOU'LL SUFFOCATE!" Luffy is caught in the swelling pile with "UWA-AAH!" as the battlefield closes over him. Katakuri stands before the enormous mound and apologizes only because the fight has disrupted his schedule: "SORRY FOR FINISHING THINGS UP LIKE THIS. I WAS STARTING TO GET A LITTLE PEEVED." It looks, for the moment, as though Luffy's Gear Fourth has been smothered before it can begin. 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. Page 7: Outside the shrine, Katakuri's followers continue turning his isolation into legend. They say he takes food "INTO SOLITARY, STOIC, COMPOSED SUPPLEMENTATIONS OF NUTRIENTS," and describe him as "SUCH IS THE MAN WHO HOLDS UP THE BIG MOM PIRATES THEMSELVES, THE 1 BILLION BOUNTY HIMSELF!" Then the image of perfect control breaks. Luffy bursts free from the huge mound of mochi and bellows, "BAAAAAAHHHHH!" The attendants sc...
