Chapter 7: Prophecy
Ace never believed in fate. (Niu Wen ~ Net)
In his opinion, it is true that success is about the right time, place and people, but to a greater extent, the key to determining things lies in personal efforts! Some people will say that the strength of the individual is too weak, and no matter how hard he tries, it will often backfire and cannot change anything at all.
! The reason why it backfires is because you haven't worked hard enough! If your strength is strong enough, the heavens will tremble for you, and the earth will fall for you, and you will be the new heaven and earth!
When the time comes, what else in the world you can't do?
Three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work. To a certain extent, the pirates are fighting against the whole world, they are not afraid of any storms, they live in this world unscrupulously, and use the mysterious thing of fate to get close to the pirates, to be honest, Ace thinks, that is an insult.
"Well, can you let me meet your boss?" Ace spoke to the waiter on the side in a self-righteous tone, but he didn't know that the green veins on his forehead had already revealed his true thoughts.
Ace's disgruntled mood had already made the waiter sweat profusely, and at a glance out of the corner of his eye, he had already aimed at the two knives stuck in the other party's waist, surviving in a place like Fish-Man Island, where dragons and snakes were mixed, he still knew which people he couldn't provoke.
"Look at my!" The waiter secretly slapped himself in the bottom of his heart, why couldn't he control his mouth.
"Two guests, the boss invites you in." Just when the male waiter was at a loss, a pleasant voice gently reached Ace's side, but a waitress came out of the inner room.
Ace and Yuna glanced at each other secretly, put down the coffee in their hands, promised, and followed the other party into the room where the store manager entertained guests, there were already people inside, and there were three of them, one of them was known to both Ace and Yuna, and it was Lingling, one of the mermaid girls they rescued before.
"Benefactor ······" But it was Lingling who spoke first, at first she heard the voice in the hall, and she felt familiar, and the companion next to her roughly described his appearance, Lingling had determined that it was Ace who saved them from the sea of suffering.
"The benefactor or something will be exempted, call me Ace." Unexpectedly, the person who came turned out to be an acquaintance, Ace couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the world is really small.
"I see, you were the one who saved our little girl, boy." Sitting on the big shell in the middle was a graceful and luxurious woman, dressed in black to show off her hot and tall figure, her dark hair was still caged in the hood, and she was holding a cigarette pipe, and the curling tobacco spat out from her sexy red lips.
What a spicy woman! Ace's gaze moved down slightly, and he also saw the slender fish tail of the other party, she was actually a rare blue shark mermaid!
"Well, it's just a matter of pulling out a knife to help when the road is uneven, it's nothing remarkable." Pulling Yuna to find a place to sit down, Ace said with a chuckle.
"Don't be modest, there are very few human beings with a strong sense of justice like you, and ······ I know about you! When he said the last sentence, the other party's eyes were already full of light, and the burning gaze made Ace feel a little restrained.
"Ah, benefactor, let me introduce you, this is the manager of our Fish-Man Cafe, MDAM Charlie, and also a well-known soothsayer on Fish-Man Island." Lingling seemed to feel Ace's strangeness and said out loud.
Hearing this, Ace's brows furrowed slightly, it turned out that the person in front of him was the cursed master dressed as a soothsayer! When the store manager Xia Li heard Lingling's words, a trace of helplessness flashed on her face, she put down the pipe in her hand and said slowly, "What a soothsayer, I have long since quit······ You've probably heard about me, and probably think the name Cursed Master is a better fit for me. ”
When everyone present heard this, they all turned their heads to the side in embarrassment, who told them to think so in their hearts.
"But I still want to thank you, what you have done in the Chambord Islands is already known to many people, and it is really rare for a young man to have such courage." Xia Li's tone was full of admiration, and she almost wrote "I'm very optimistic about you" on her face.
"Where, I'm just creating an opportunity for them, and besides, I don't just want to save people." Ace said helplessly, although the smile was very stiff. He knew very well what a sad fate he would face as a slave, and although his face was calm, he mentally warned himself that the future of these slaves was bright or not had nothing to do with him, but he did not know why, and when he looked at the slaves with gloomy eyes, he could not help but feel a sense of compassion in his heart, although it was very little, but it did not mean that there was none.
Eventually, he took advantage of the slaves to create more opportunities for his side, while the escaped slaves did not even have half of their original number, and for no other reason they all lost their lives on the Chambord Islands.
It can even be said that those slaves died indirectly at the hands of Ace.
Ace understands the truth of the jungle very well, in his opinion, it is not strange for the weak to be oppressed and killed by the strong, but when he sees this kind of human ugliness with his own eyes, he can't help but destroy this eternal law of nature.
Ace is a hypocrite, and he is not qualified to be associated with the word "good" at all. Think about what he has done along the way, and what is really not with a purpose, but completely with righteousness.
Ace doesn't know what kind of mood or purpose Fisher Tiger had when he freed the slaves, but he did abandon the barriers between races, protected those slaves without any scruples, and even formed the world's first Sun Pirates without population for those homeless slaves. Otherwise, with the advantage of the Fish-Man, Fisher Tiger would have taken his people back to Fish-Man Island long ago, leaving the remaining people to fend for themselves.
In good conscience, Ace felt that he was too much worse than Fisher Tiger, and only that person could be called a "hero of the emancipated slaves".
"I'll never do this kind of thing again!" Ace met Xia Li's sapphire eyes and chuckled and said, "Because I'm really not a philanthropist!" ”
Xia Li thought for a while, and a gorgeous smile suddenly bloomed on her face, "With courage, I finally understand now why Lingling and the others have been thinking about you, because you are very straightforward, straightforward like a fool." ”
"But he's a fool who can trust people with their lives." Yuna smiled and said softly.
Being praised so much by several beauties, Ace was also a little embarrassed, so he had to giggle a few times.
"By the way, you come here, I don't have anything to say, well, I'll make an exception for you today!" Xia Li got up, walked to a shell casually, and opened it, but inside was a huge crystal ball, flowing with a brilliant brilliance like water lines, and at a glance she knew that it was not an ordinary stall.
"That, the store manager······" I saw that the mermaid girl next to her was in a cold sweat, as if there was a prehistoric monster infested, "Aren't you already retired?" How to ······"
"Ah, it's okay, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll be fine for once." After that, Xia Li put her white palms on the crystal ball, closed her eyes gently, and said something in her mouth, and after a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, but she was trembling all over, and her eyes were full of horror.
"What's wrong?" Yuna looked at Xia Li a little nervously, afraid that she would say some ominous prophecy.
"I see ······" Looking at the people with blank faces in shock, Xia Li took a deep breath and said in a trilled voice, "I just wanted to see what that child would look like in the future, but it turned out to be ·····"
"The result?" Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and Lingling even folded her hands in front of her chest and chanted.
"I saw it, a fiery red claw, through his chest! This is ······ O omen of death! ”
