——

The ship rolled in to the candy themed gates of a grand estate, which had creaked open with a musical chime as the group stepped off alas onto the syrup glazed cobblestone. The estate itself looked like something out of a sugar induced fever dream. Caramel windows, frosting trim, and marshmallow guards to greet them all.

Y/N blinked up at the towering candy castle. "So, this is where we're staying?"

Chiffon grinned, hauling a few bags onto her back. "Welcome to Chocolate Island, sugar! One of the comfiest places in the Whole Cake Kingdom. Smells like heaven too."

Katakuri gave a soft grunt beside Y/N, causing her to look up at him with a smile as one of his hands lowered down to her back protectively as they climbed the front steps.

"I call the room with the peppermint tub!" Pudding called out, rushing past them all and vanishing inside.

The inside of the estate was just as decadent. The halls sparkled with golden trim, every step on the thick toffee carpet made a soft squish. Homies bustled past with trays of tea, pastries, and luggage, chirping polite greetings.

"Good lord," Y/N thought. She sure was lucky, being apart of some grand royal family and whatnot, yet she didn't think she'd ever grow accustomed to this life.

Katakuri had noticed her zone off into her surroundings, and gently put his hand on her upper back. "Come, let's get you settled," he whispered. He'd caught your attention alone with his soft touch, sending butterflies to your stomach, as you nodded and walked beside him up the grand staircase.

——-

After dropping their things into their spacious suites — each designed with its own specific flair (Y/N's and Katakuri's room somehow having her favorite scent and a book she had once mentioned. Suspicious?) ,
everyone regrouped in the main lounge.

Katakuri stood by the window, gazing out over the island as Y/N curled up on one of the plush couches. She had changed into a simple white silk dress, as they'd be formally meeting the pirate group, so she had to be careful when sipping tea from her steaming teacup.
Chiffon was already flipping through event notes and guest files.

Suddenly, a door slammed and there was clink clack of heels from upstairs.

"I'm READY!" came Pudding's dramatic voice

Everyone turned to look up towards her descending the steps of the grand staircase
with a theatric flair.

She wore a fitted crimson tea dress with a slit and glitter dusted across her shoulders. Her lips were painted in a nude lip combo, and she had twirled a ribbon in her hair.

Chiffon raised a brow, "You're just meeting them, not get married."

"They're infamous pirates, Chiffon," Pudding said with a smirk.
"Gotta make an impression to remember."

Y/N tilted her head. "You sure you're not trying to seduce the captain?"

"Depends," she said with a wink. "Is he cute?"

"Oh he sure is cute Pudding, trust me," Chiffon giggled as she handed her the captain's file.

Katakuri scowled and turned to face the window. Y/N stifled a laugh.

They had made their ways to the docks of Chocolate Island, where the ground slightly trembled as a huge ship landed- A colossal iron bull with glowing eyes to the front of the ship.
