## One Piece Chapter 883, pages 12-14: Merienda - Chapter: 883 - Pages: 12-14 - Characters: Katakuri, Luffy ### Summary Page 12: The cooks beg for their lives, insisting they will keep the secret. They cry, "PLEASE, MERCY, MY LORD..." and "WE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING!" Another promises, "WE WOULDN'T TELL A SOUL, EVEN IF OUR MOUTHS WERE TORN OPEN!" Katakuri's face hardens, and he asks, "WHOSE MOUTH DID YOU JUST CALL TORN?!" He attacks with "BLOCK MOCHI!" while one victim screams, "NO! PLEASE!!" Luffy is thrown aside with "GYA!" and a heavy "GSSHHIT!" as Katakuri returns his attention to the fight. Katakuri tells him, "SO YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, HUH? MY APOLOGIES. IT SEEMS I DIDN'T SEE YOUR END THROUGH AS THOROUGHLY AS I SHOULD HAVE. I SIMPLY COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER." The scene confirms that Katakuri's calm mask has cracked; his impatience over merienda left Luffy alive. Page 13: Luffy and Katakuri lock back into close combat. Both stare with full focus, then move at the same time. Katakuri thrusts Mole while Luffy darts in under the attack, and the clash splits the panels with sharp impact. Katakuri declares, "THERE ARE THINGS THAT SURPASS ARMAMENT." His meaning is immediate: Luffy's Haki is not enough if Katakuri can read, harden, reshape, and strike with superior timing. Luffy still refuses to yield. He takes the hit with "GUHH!" but drives forward, while Katakuri's mochi arm throbs with power and Luffy yells "UWAAH!" under the pressure. Katakuri's final line on the page makes the stakes personal: "I CANNOT LET THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN MY TRUE FORM LIVE!" The fight is no longer just about stopping the Straw Hats; it is about Katakuri erasing the humiliation of being seen. Page 14: Luffy changes his rhythm. He breathes out with "FWOO OO!" and his arms swell again, but this time he watches Katakuri closely. Katakuri closes in, and Luffy meets him with a sudden kick that lands cleanly. Katakuri's head snaps back, and Luffy is shocked by what just happened: "HE DIDN'T DODGE IT?" Then he realizes, "I EVEN GOT IN A KICK!" Katakuri recovers with a wipe of his mouth, but the page has already shifted the balance. For the first time, Katakuri's flawless evasion has failed. The secret meal, the broken composure, and the anger over being seen have all made his future sight less perfect, giving Luffy a real opening where before every attack had been predicted and countered.
