YOU X Katakuri Your horrible parents finally found a way to get rid of you, they set you up in an arranged marriage with one of Big Mom's sons. You've dreamt of having an adventure, making friends and finding someone who loves you. You can't get you...
"This was the girl I was MOST interested in meeting," Big Mom laughs. Did that mean you? Big Mom was interested in you? Of course she was.. Otherwise you wouldn't be here right? "Why are you hiding her from me like she's some kind of secret?!" Big Mom complained pointing a finger towards your face. The king and queen apologized profusely and bowed their heads. You weren't sure what to do so you stood their stupidly. You'd really wished you'd taken a class on how to behave in front of a Pirate Emperor of the Sea. Sure you'd been taught fine etiquette from the very best tutors money could buy but nothing seemed to prepare you for a moment like this! You give a polite and simple curtsy. You wonder what kind of a fool your step brother is making out of himself beside you, but you don't dare take the attention off Big Mom by turning your head to see. "Pull your veil back, my dear, it's not your wedding day yet," she muses. You turn your head to the king and queen as if to ask for their consent but you get a stern talking to from Big Mom instead, "Don't look to their authority. The only authority here is mine. You do as I say or you die!" She laughs.
That's comforting, you think, then you reprimand yourself because now is not the time for your sarcastic humor. You take a deep breath and pull the veil from your face, anticipating a familiar reaction of awe and then the following terror. Because you're a beautiful devil princess. But the awe lingered from around the room, and the terror never came. You now realized just how many people had come into the throne room only to see your face. You didn't remember it being this crowded initially when you'd first walked in. But maybe you were only really focusing on Big Mom. You feel hot and flushed. You'd never received such undivided attention before, such lingering unaverted stares. Where were the other pretty girls to take some attention away from you? To save you from such intensity.. There must have been over 100 sets of eyes on you. Or.. maybe you were just imagining that number because of how nervous you felt.
"She's a doll!" Big Mom exclaims which makes you blush harder. "Didn't I tell you how beautiful she was, Katakuri!" Big Mom said leaning over her right shoulder to talk to her son without taking her eyes off of you. Sweet Commander Charlotte Katakuri, you remember reading up on him in the library and then.. there was your conversation with your brother on the ship... You couldn't get a good look at him, he was covered in the shadow of Big Mom, but you could see his piercing red eyes in the darkness, staring at you. "Yes Mama, she's beautiful," you heard Katakuri's deep voice agree and you stop breathing altogether. Time itself had stopped.

You weren't ready for this. You needed more time. More books, more studying. More instruction. Something! You felt faint. This was a dream, right? "So pretty Mama!" You hear a little girl say, but you don't recognize who. You hoped you didn't look sick or scared. You hoped you looked calm and collected. You hoped the feelings inside you hadn't emerged and weren't written plainly across your face. Please, you pray, please let this be over soon. It felt like an eternity since you'd taken your veil off. Normally you'd be glad to rip the thing apart, but now, you missed its shield. "Now," Big Mom continued, "show us your powers!" You gasp and you can't help the look of shock on your face. This makes Big Mom laugh, "come now, you didn't think I'd marry you to one of my sons without ensuring your worth. Show me, don't be shy."
