Chapter 139: The Double Impact of Prophecy and Bounty
"Heh-heh-"
A heavy pant sounded through the tabernacle, and then a well-built woman crawled out from behind the curtain, her slender waist swaying, and a mermaid's tail swaying with it.
She is Mrs. Xia Li, the manager of the Mermaid Coffee Shop on Fish-Man Island, a mature and dignified big blue shark mermaid.
At this moment, her face was full of panic, her forehead was sweating, her bangs covered one eye, and the other eye was wide open, and her eyes were full of fear.
She had a nightmare about her dead brother, Aaron.
She saw him crawling towards her with a bloody face, his lower body was gone, bloody, and he was opening his mouth to say something to her.
The details of the nightmare were no longer available, and Madame Charlie could not even hear what Aaron was saying, only faintly hearing a name.
"David Jones ......"
Madame Charlie is no stranger to the name.
She grew up listening to the horror stories of "Hades of the Deep", and when she grew up, she thought it was just a legend made up to scare children, until recently this name has been frequently reported in the newspapers.
Maybe it's not necessarily a legend, and even if it's a legend, it's not necessarily false.
"I'm going to trust my instincts......," muttered Lady Charlie.
She went to the closet and pulled out a blue low-cut hoodie, slipped it over her upper body, and covered her hair with a hood before she sat on a bubble and floated lightly outside the house.
Mrs. Charlie soon went to another room, took a round crystal ball from a clam shell, laid it on the table, and solemnly took out her long pipe, lit it, and smoked it.
In the midst of the smoke, Madame Charlie put down her pipe and began divination in a relatively calm and relaxed state.
"David Jones." She pronounced the name with precision, and there was no room for mistakes in pronunciation, and her purple nail polished hands caressed the crystal ball, "Davy Jones, Davy Jones......"
The crystal ball, which had been transparent, became cloudy, and an illusion ensued.
Madame Charlie glanced at her with a splitting headache, and she whimpered in pain and collapsed to the ground.
Hearing the noise inside the house, several mermaids burst in.
When they saw the crystal ball on the table, and then saw Lady Charlie lying on the ground, they knew what was happening, and hurriedly came over to help her up.
"Lady Charlie!" A mermaid with a ponytail said with concern, "Why are you divining again?" The divination a few days ago made you depressed, and you said that you will not do divination again in the near future! ”
"Yes, yes!" Other mermaids also followed.
They are clerks at the Mermaid Coffee Shop, and they work here on weekdays, and Mrs. Charlie takes good care of them, and they also like the working environment here, so they have always regarded Mrs. Charlie as their family and friends.
Seeing that Mrs. Charlie was uncomfortable, they were not happy in their hearts.
Mrs. Charlie held her forehead and gasped for a while before slowly calming down.
"I couldn't resist that spiritual intuition, which foresaw danger for me every time. However, I have to admit that this time the divination is even more dangerous and terrifying than the last one. ”
The mermaids looked at each other and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything more terrible than predicting that the Navy Headquarters will go to war with the 'Whitebeard Pirates' and that 'Whitebeard' will die in battle?" ”
A few days ago, Lady Charlie had a divination about the ending of the war called "The War on the Top", and she was so uncomfortable for several days that she was confined to her room and could not come out.
As we all know, the fate of Lady Charlie of Fish-Man Island is divined, especially those extremely important events, which will be fulfilled every time, including the birth of the "mermaid princess" Shirahoshi and the advent of the "era of pirates".
She believes that the "war on top" will not be an exception.
All in all, the results of this divination spread, leaving most of Fish-Man Island in a state of unease.
If Newgate "Whitebeard" really dies in battle, it will not be good news for Fish-Man Island.
Since the beginning of the "Age of the Sea Pirates", they have settled under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, and God knows what will become of Newgate after his death.
Countless pirates must have swarmed in to snatch mermaids or fishmen and sell them at sea, right?
This time, the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island sincerely hope that Lady Charlie is wrong in her divination.
However, what happened next kept the future closer to the outcome of Lady Charly's divination.
First of all, not long ago, the news of the public execution of General Ace in Maryford at the Navy headquarters appeared in the newspapers.
Morgans made a big splash, and soon the news spread to Fish-Man Island beneath the depths.
Then, the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates dispatched troops respectively, and the movement was quite large, and it was impossible to hide it from the world.
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
In the end, Jinhei, one of the "Seven Martial Seas" who originally guarded Fish-Man Island, went to the Navy Headquarters alone in an attempt to prevent the war, and was arrested and imprisoned in the "Advance City".
All of this means that the war on the top is irreparable.
After Madame Charlie divined this result, she was sullen and did not want to think about food, and the mermaids persuaded her not to do any more divination recently.
As a result, Mrs. Charlie couldn't help but divinate once today.
"Lady Charlie, what did you divinate this time, and what did you see?" The mermaid with her hair in a bun asked.
"My divination is David Jones, the 'Hades of the Deep' who killed my brother Aaron." "Actually, I can only see a black ship approaching Fish-Man Island under his direction, and the next one is out of sight," said Mrs. Charlie, "Actually, I could only see a black ship approaching Fish-Man Island, and then I couldn't see ......."
"Can't see?" The mermaids were quite surprised, this was the first time this kind of thing had happened, and Lady Charlie's divination was never without a follow-up.
Mrs. Charlie bit her lower lip and said, "It's unbelievable that I can't see the future of David Jones, I wanted to go deeper, but in the blink of an eye, I was dizzy and in pain." ”
Even after a few minutes had passed since the divination, Madame Charlie was still terrified by the terrible pain she had never felt before, and her eyes did not dare to make contact with the crystal ball again, for fear of seeing anything again.
"But no matter what the future holds, it's a foregone conclusion that David Jones will come to Fish-Man Island. He is likely to bring terror and misfortune, just like the legendary 'Hades of the Deep'. ”
The mermaids were all surprised, and asked a little at a loss, "Could it be that he ...... He plans to attack this place while Whitebeard has no time to take care of this place, and Jinping is not here? ”
"Quite possibly." Lady Charlie straightened up suddenly, "No, I have to go to King Neptune, and I have to see the left and right ministers no matter how bad it is, and I have to tell them about it." ”
Ignoring the dissuasion of the mermaid clerks, she sat on the bubbles and quickly left the coffee shop towards the Dragon Palace.
And the mermaid clerks also talked about the imminent crisis of Fish-Man Island in the chatter.
In less than a day, news of David Jones' possible attack on Fish-Man Island spread throughout Fish-Man Island, causing panic among the residents.
Almost at the same time, David Jones and his gang arrived on Fish-Man Island with a new bounty on the coated merchant ship.
When the two phases collide, the chemistry is amazing.
"'Manatee' moo, 15 million Baileys on the bounty!"
"'Cheerleader' Porchi, a bounty of 30 million Bailey!"
"'Little Umbrella' Mikita, 77 million Baileys on offer!"
"'Octopus' Hachi, a bounty of 90 million Bailey!"
"'Death Surgeon' Law, a bounty of 120 million Bailey!"
"'Iron Rod' Arrita, 125 million Baileys on the bounty!"
"'Trick' Chloe, a bounty of 126 million Bailey!"
"'Sand Crocodile' Klockdahl, 181,000,000 Bailey!"
"'Joker' Bucky, 195 million Baileys on offer!"
"'Hades of the Deep' David Jones, 450 million Bailey!"
The total bounty of the Davy Jones Pirates has exceeded 1 billion, of which there are as many as 6 people with a bounty of more than 100 million, which is really terrifying.
On this night, quite a few residents of the entire Fish-Man Island couldn't sleep, some because of panic, some because of confusion, and some were excited.
Seeing that the great changes that Fish-Man Island has not seen in a hundred years are coming.
