## One Piece Chapter 883, pages 3-5: Merienda - Chapter: 883 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Katakuri, Luffy ### Summary 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..."
