Chapter 185: Good Skills
It's been said before.
Miss Xia Li's divination is as accurate as 100%.
At the age of three, she was abandoned by her father to Fishman Street, where she lived with young Aaron.
It was also in this year that Roger visited Fish-Man Island again.
Xia Li predicted through the divination of the crystal ball that with the birth of the mermaid princess, the sea kings would attack Fish-Man Island.
At the age of four, Charlie predicted the arrival of the era of pirates, including the later top war, and the death of Whitebeard.
And as time passed, Xia Li discovered the heavy fate behind her divination ability.
The outcomes she predicted were often accompanied by misfortune and death.
Xia Li began to get tired of it, so since then, Xia Li rarely takes the initiative to do divination.
However, the so-called "life" is often driven by its "curiosity" to act.
Especially for a gifted person like Xia Li, this is often the case.
……
When Kemi and Papagu return to the store and bring back the four humans, Charlie's attention is drawn to the man.
Tall and burly, with a perfect posture, it is like the masterpiece of the top sculptors of Ryugu Castle.
Although he always has a grinning face and is complained about by another man next to him from time to time, he is undoubtedly the "core" of these four human beings.
When was the last time you saw such a human?
Approximately, it's the [One Piece] Roger I saw when I was a child.
Although the specific feelings are very different, they are very similar in terms of "nature".
It's all the kind of human beings who "can't be ignored".
Xia Li's curiosity began to haunt her, so she secretly took out the crystal ball in the mussel, wanting to peek into the future of the man.
But in the end, the results shown in the crystal ball made Xia Li's face full of confusion.
Only—
Black.
The crystal ball, which was originally translucent, was now completely dark inside, swallowing up all the light around it.
No matter which angle Xia Li looks at, she can't see why.
"What the hell is this...... What? ”
Xia Li's divination accuracy rate is 100%, but it also has the disadvantage that she can only know that it will happen, but she can't predict the point when it will happen.
Without the element of "time", it is difficult to explore the "causes" of a certain "future".
What's more, the future shown by the crystal ball is also really confusing.
"Why is it pitch black?"
For the most part, "darkness" is not a good thing.
"Maybe this represents death?"
"No ......"
Xia Li is very clear that her divination does not have the function of "imagery".
The future is the future!
In other words, at some point in the future, that man will surely experience this lightless darkness!
“……”
"Is it still 'unfortunate'?"
Xia Li smiled helplessly and put the crystal ball aside.
Although she rarely divined anymore, she always couldn't resist her curiosity, and the haze in her heart followed.
Regardless, at this moment alone, these four humans are Kemi and Papagu's lifesavers.
As the manager of the Mermaid Cafe, Xia Li welcomes them.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Xia Li bowed slightly, smiled at the four humans in front of her, and said, "I haven't asked for advice yet, how do you call it?" ”
“……”
The four of them looked at each other.
Located on Fish-Man Island, backed by the Whitebeard Pirates, the hand of the Navy and the World Government cannot reach in.
In this rare area of peace, there is naturally no need to hide your identity.
"Klockdahl."
"Uta!"
"Nicole Robin"
And finally—
Lindsay nodded slightly to Xia Li and smiled, "Evan Lindsay." ”
When she heard the names of the first three people, Xia Li's face was the same as before, and there was no wave.
But when she heard the last name, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her expression was stunned.
"...... [Demon]?"
She looked at the humans in front of her carefully and muttered:
"My eldest brother mentioned you."
……
Who is Charlie's big brother?
【Sawtooth】Aaron.
The sawtooth shark people are also representative figures of extreme hatred of humans.
In the future, he will be on the side of evil in the East China Sea, and will be defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates.
Time comes back to the present.
At this time, Ah Long, who was still a cadre of the Sun Pirates, followed the [Fishman Hero] Fisher Tiger and roamed the sea.
……
A few people sat down, and Xia Li also got acquainted with Lindsay.
"I don't have a good relationship with my eldest brother, but I do get in touch occasionally."
"He said that Big Brother Tiger often mentions a human, which makes him very unhappy, after all, he hates humans the most."
"That human is nicknamed the Demon, and his name is Evan Lindsay."
Xia Li picked up the black tea, looked at the man in front of her, and said with a smile:
"Looks like it's me."
“……”
"Tiger?"
Lindsay ate the cake, recalled the past, and smiled: "Are they doing well?" ”
"Probably, but I'm not very interested in pirates."
Seeing that the food on the table was bottoming out, Xia Li asked Kemi and the others to go to the back kitchen to prepare more.
After breaking Kemi and Papagu, Xia Li's face turned straight.
"Straight to the point—"
"As for the reason why you came to Fish-Man Island, although I have already explained it to Kemi and the others, it must be all made up, right?"
"The truth may be much more 'dangerous.'"
"I understand."
Xia Li said seriously:
"Since [Demon] is a friend of Big Brother Tiger, you must have no ill will towards Fish-Man Island, and of course I can help."
"If you want to use the mermaid café as a foothold, it's no problem to take a break for a while."
"—but one thing needs to be solved."
Charlie looked at the four humans and explained:
"It's been the off-season lately, and there are occasional Fish-Man Island residents, but there are very few human guests."
"The sudden appearance of four human tourists must be noticeable, and you need to think of a 'reason' first."
“……”
The four of them looked at each other, and the relaxed atmosphere was still there.
Compared to the problems they had faced, this kind of "mental activity" was really nothing, but just an after-dinner pastime.
It's better than eating "fish food" in the icy deep sea!
Soon, Klockdahl made up his mind and said gloomily: "It's good to be simple." ”
Xia Li was puzzled, "What does this mean?" ”
Lindsay said calmly: "Just don't think about complicated things, so ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Klockdahl slash down with a gravel scimitar to help stop Lindsay's nonsense.
"The more complex it is, the more flaws there are."
Klockdahl explains:
"We can't just hide, after all, we also have to collect intelligence from the outside world, and there are a bunch of messy chores."
"So, just disguise yourself as a fishman and work as a clerk in your store."
"Absolutely."
Xia Li held a cigarette stick, as the manager of the café, and began to look at the four new clerks in front of her.
"Four, what are you good at?"
“……”
As soon as the sentence fell, the expressions of the four suddenly stiffened.
What are you good at?
All four of them subconsciously wanted to say: I don't know, we never thought about this problem.
But such an answer is a bit of a faux pas.
I held it for a long time.
Robin was the first to speak: "Archaeology...... Count? ”
Lindsey said seriously: "Fight, or meditate." ”
Klockdahl was even more gloomy and said, "Do you want to subvert the entire Dragon Palace Kingdom? ”
“……”
Such an answer made the corners of Xia Li's mouth twitch uncontrollably, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
She had to turn her gaze to the last person, the little girl named Uta.
Uta is clasping her arms over her chest, with a confident expression of "I'm super powerful".
"Everyone—"
A pleasant voice sounded, and Uta opened her big dark purple eyes and said excitedly:
"Get ready, the concert is about to start!"
“……”
With the general direction in mind, everyone began to discuss the details of the future.
Lockdahl needed more information, so he asked Charlie if she had the nearest newspaper in the store.
Xia Li nodded, asked Kemi Jr. to go to the warehouse, and took out all the human newspapers for the recent period.
Soon, the crowd saw news that interested them:
Part of it tells the aftermath of the events of the Great Melee in the Capital of Seven Waters.
This incident is fundamentally different from the existence of O'Hara, so the refugee ship was successfully taken over by the navy, and the refugees in the capital of seven waters have been properly resettled.
The Sea Train has been developed, and the dangerous Hades blueprints have been obtained by Zefa, and the safety of everyone in Tom's studio is not to be worried.
I believe that in the near future, under the leadership of Tom's Studio, this group of shipwrights with full action will definitely return to the ruins of the capital of seven waters and rebuild this "world's first shipyard"!
……
On the other hand, there is only one piece of explosive news -
The world-class wanted criminal, who has a bounty of 1.6 billion berry, [Demon] Evan Lindsay, has been confirmed to be behind the destruction of the City of Seven Waters.
The three admirals personally pursued the demon, and finally defeated the demon, and the ship it was on sank.
The Demon and his companions fall into the sea and are all destroyed!
“……”
"Hah!"
Seeing this, Lindsay couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, patted the newspaper and laughed:
"Look, the world government wrote me to death!"
