Chapter 125: Revelation, God of Crabs, Missed Fate
You are familiar with history, know what happened in the past, and understand the influential figures of the past.
One day, you open the book again, but history has changed, the events are deviated, the characters who appeared are different, and they don't even match your memory.
This surprising, even frightening thing happened to Mrs. Charlie, even though she was not familiar with history but saw the future.
As the most famous fortune teller on Fish-Man Island, she foresaw the coming of the "Great Age of Pirates" when she was 4 years old. Before the war broke out, she saw the death of "Whitebeard"...
Mrs. Charlie's divination predictions are 100% accurate. She understands the future of this corner of the world just like she is familiar with history.
However, this 100% accurate myth was busted a few days ago.
Whitebeard did indeed fall, but the process was different from what she saw.
As she originally predicted, Whitebeard should have been severely wounded by Admiral Akainu, and finally died at the hands of the Blackbeard Pirates.
However, what was shown in the live broadcast was: General Akainu was intercepted and defeated by the bloodthirsty swordsman, Whitebeard was killed by Bailong's Saint, and Blackbeard did not show his face at all...
Who caused such a big deviation from the 100% accurate future?
After thinking about it, Mrs. Charlie quickly zeroed in on the most suspicious target - the swordsman Wren!
It was him who killed Marshall D. Teach, and it was he who intercepted General Akainu... In comparison, the Daughter of God's killing of Whitebeard was more like a chain reaction.
Mrs. Charlie's heart was full of doubts and curiosity about the person who could change her destiny and future.
Originally she thought that the future she saw was absolutely unchangeable...
So, after the big event, she performed divination on Francis D. Lane many times, but the results were not satisfactory.
He has no future... Well, blank, blank, his future is just blank, she can hardly see anything.
The future is all a mosaic... This made Mrs. Charlie suspect that she had lost her ability for a while, but when the divination target was switched to the residents of Fishman Island, it still worked.
After many experiments, she came to the conclusion that the swordsman Wren is an alien, a ghost, and a person with a void destiny.
Repeated failures only aroused her competitive spirit.
Not long ago, when the swordsman Lane arrived at Fish-Man Island, she took a look at him while hiding in the crowd, and immediately returned to the Mermaid Cafe for divination.
Maybe because of the contact and the media, she finally saw the picture of the future.
The location is unknown, all I know is that it is a grand hall, resplendent with gold and jade, the lights are always on, and the simple and elegant pillars and walls are carved with patterns of various types of weapons, including swords, guns, swords and halberds.
These weapons are so lifelike that you can actually feel their edge at a glance.
What's even more magical is that the ceiling above the head is brilliant, as if it condenses a sky, with images of the sun and the moon shining together, and the stars arrayed together.
The atmosphere of this hall is so sacred and majestic that it is difficult to imagine what kind of masterpiece it is by skilled craftsmen.
At the end of the steps, there is a jade seat. The seat is crystal clear and brilliant, but there is no one on it.
There are only many spheres slowly rotating around the Amyrlin Seat, wind, fire, water, earth, thunder, flash, darkness, magma, snowflakes, ice... The surface of each sphere reveals an elemental power, or in other words, they are made of
It is formed by condensing the power of natural elements.
Below the throne is a round table. At this time, there are five or six black figures sitting around the round table.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Mrs. Charlie could not see their faces clearly.
But just through the blurry images, the air that was either biting cold, overbearing and majestic, or dark and deep made her almost breathless.
"On the right track, the God King has... the void... when the lights... coordinates..."
Next to the seat, a tall and mighty figure spoke with a steady and powerful voice.
"Go away, I'm afraid there will be some trouble." Among them, a woman with long green hair said in a cold voice.
"It's a pity that the Five Old Stars have no guts...otherwise I could just wait..."
"...The clown is ridiculous, kill him!"
Someone said a decisive word of killing, and the terrifying darkness surged out like a tide, the darkness was like smoke, and only a pair of bloodthirsty and cruel terrifying eyes could be seen.
At the same time, as if the screen went black, the foreseen picture was suddenly interrupted without warning!
The two shocking changes made Mrs. Charlie's face turn pale with fright, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
But she didn't stop.
The more she looked, the more confused she became. Charlie clenched her teeth and placed her palm on the crystal ball. At the same time, she recalled Ren's appearance and stimulated her abilities to the extreme.
She no longer believed in evil and could not see anything about the future of the bloodthirsty swordsman.
Light!
The next second, light emerged.
The two rays of light were shaped like moon disks and were a bit dazzling. Mrs. Charlie subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
silver.
No, it's the night, the light is just the shining stars.
She had just come to this conclusion and paused for a moment. The outlines of the night stars shrank and expanded, just like the movement of blinking eyes...
Mrs. Charlie was shocked to discover that these were a pair of eyes.
Deep, dark, and full of brilliance, only gods can have such eyes.
"Well, the gaze from the past? This plug-in is too much, it should be banned."
A slightly joking voice sounded in the fish-man girl's mind.
Click, click, click!
Without warning, the divination crystal ball suddenly cracked, and shocking cracks appeared on it, which soon turned into countless fragments and scattered!
"ah!"
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Charlie screamed, covering her head with a splitting headache, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Madam Charlie, are you okay?!"
At this time, as if she heard some noise, a mermaid girl forced open the door and broke into Charlie's room.
She is sweet and cute, with short light green hair, pink fishtails, and a pair of big black eyes that are watery and pitiful.
She is the mermaid Kemi. After being rescued by Luffy from the auction house, she returned to Fish-Man Island. She is currently working at the "Mermaid Cafe" opened by Charlie as a waiter.
Seeing Charlie fall to the ground, Cammy quickly ran over and helped her up.
"Ah~"
As soon as she stood up, Mrs. Charlie covered her right hand and groaned in pain.
Hiss, blue light runes suddenly appeared on the back of her hand. Under the surprised gaze of the mermaid Kemi, the hot blue light runes rolled and quickly imprinted a line of bloody tattoo patterns.
This process was like being burned with a soldering iron. Xia Li pinched her right wrist with her left hand, her delicate body trembling, and the expression on her beautiful face was a little painful.
Fortunately, the pain only lasted a few seconds.
"404?"
Mermaid Kemi looked at the tattoo on the back of her hand and whispered softly.
Yes, the pattern of the tattoo is this series of numbers. If you ignore the weird branding process, this line of tattoos is not ugly.
Mrs. Charlie was sweating on her forehead, staring at the numbers on the back of her hand, her face uncertain.
"Madam Charlie, what just happened?"
Mermaid Kemi looked at the row of tattoos on her hand, then glanced at the broken crystal ball, and asked confused.
"It's okay. This is the latest tattoo technique. Just apply the medicine on the skin. I accidentally... used a large dose and it hurt so much that I dropped it. I accidentally knocked off the crystal ball."
Mrs. Charlie forced a smile and made up a random excuse to excuse her.
Most people may not believe this perfunctory explanation.
"So that's it. Be careful. You may have to buy another crystal ball this time."
Kemi nodded, believing it to be true.
This mermaid girl is very naive and has a confused personality, otherwise she would not have been caught by the Makullo family at least 30 times.
After chatting for a while, she sent Kemi away. Mrs. Charlie wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat on the sofa.
Her beautiful blue eyes stared at the tattoo on the back of her hand, with a complicated expression, and murmured to herself:
"No, you don't need to buy it. You won't need it in the future anyway..."
Yes, without any basis, she had a clear understanding in her heart: she had lost the ability to divine.
To be precise, it was banned by a certain existence.
404, is it a tattoo with some kind of imprisonment effect? Or maybe her ability has been taken away, and this mark is just a warning?
Those eyes... is that guy the swordsman Ren?
The weirdest thing is, was it the hand of Ren now or him in the future?
There were many doubts in her heart, but no one gave Mrs. Charlie the answers.
She didn't dare go to Ren and ask.
She is not stupid. The blank future that cannot be predicted, the empty destiny, the pictures she saw before, and the strange tattoo on her hand all indicate that the other party is very mysterious and terrifying.
She even suspected that luckily she didn't see much, otherwise the body would have been dead.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
And losing her divination ability is not necessarily a bad thing, she doesn't like this ability anyway.
Mrs. Charlie managed to calm down and came to the hall. Looking at Kemi who was wiping the table and clearing the dishes, she picked up a newspaper and asked casually:
"The swordsman Ren is all in the news lately, Kemi. I heard that you helped him. What do you think of him?"
It didn't matter that she couldn't peek into the future, but she was a little worried that the man would cause trouble on Fish-Man Island.
Five old stars, cowards, clowns, killers... She has not forgotten these words. Those people who are difficult to mess with at first sight must be related to that guy.
"Ren?"
Kemi stopped wiping the table, recalled it, and said with a sweet smile, "Nami said he was a nice person, generous and helpful... He also helped me, otherwise I would have been sold to others, I don't know the newspaper
Why do you always say bad things about him?"
At the end of the sentence, the mermaid girl looked angry.
The annoying human traffickers, the annoying Celestial Dragons, and the annoying world government have all been slandering that warm-hearted little brother.
Mrs. Charlie: "..."
(｀Δ′)!
Is he really that good? Hearing what Kemi said, the swordsman Ren was really a good man with a warm heart and courage to do what was right.
Charlie glanced at the tattoo on her hand, and her face twitched slightly.
It feels weird, it's not something a gentleman would do.
She didn't even know whether it was Cammy who was too easy to deceive or Ren's acting skills.
What, he is really nice?
Don't be ridiculous, Marinefando has sunk. Ask Akainu, ask Kizaru and the soldiers at the Navy Headquarters. They must not think so...
…………
Ryugu Castle is the royal city of Ryugu Kingdom on Fishman Island.
At this time, outside the magnificent palace, a very large fish man stood outside, waiting for everyone.
He wears a crown on his head, has a tall and muscular body, has thick and fluffy orange hair and beard, has flame-like tattoos on his arms, and has thick body hair.
"The Great Knight of the Sea", King of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Neptune.
"Welcome all distinguished guests."
After seeing Ren and his party walking towards them, the Great Knight of the Sea acted very politely.
Apart from anything else, as a king, he personally came to welcome him, and no one could fault his hospitality.
"Excuse me, King Neptune."
Even though the other party was giving face like this, Renn would not show off and his attitude was very polite.
This mermaid king has the same name as the Poseidon in Roman mythology. He seemed to have pretty good strength when he was young.
However, considering that he is old (70 years old) and can even reach his waist during a fight, it is no wonder that he cannot intimidate the likes of Hody Jones and Vanderdeken 9.
The red-haired man was also very graceful and said with a smile: "King Neptune is so polite."
Seeing that the two of them were so easy to talk to and their attitude was not unruly, Neptune also showed a more sincere smile and invited them in.
So, the banquet began.
In order to welcome the red-haired Ren, Xiao Ma and others, the Dragon Palace Kingdom set out the highest hospitality standards.
The dinner party at Dragon Palace City was very lively.
In the center of the famous banquet hall on Fish-Man Island, there is a group of beautiful mermaid girls dancing. There are bubbles like swimming rings around their waists, allowing them to dance in the air regardless of gravity.
The mermaid girls are very beautiful, and their graceful and graceful dancing postures are even more pleasing to the eye. Coupled with the clear and melodious singing voices of the mermaid singers, it is the most perfect audio-visual experience.
The singing and dancing performances alone made everyone feel that this trip was worthwhile.
The food is also very delicious.
La Kiru, Barrett and Wen Xi were not very good eaters and they devoured their food voraciously, but there were no troublemakers.
It's impossible for people from the White Group to cause trouble here.
And since the red-haired and Renn were quite polite to the king, their crew members would naturally not disappoint the boss.
Although the conversation was all about useless topics, for a while, the guests and the host were enjoying themselves.
Seeing that the guests were so at ease, King Neptune breathed a sigh of relief.
Not to mention that Xiao Ma and the others are good friends. Red Hair and Ren are both big shots. It would be unreasonable not to entertain people when they come.
As for entertaining, he is also afraid that the banquet will not be held well and something will happen.
"Swordsman Ren, do you know where Jinbe has gone?"
The atmosphere was good, Neptune was no longer nervous, and asked about Jinbe's news.
Ren and Xiao Ma looked at each other and smiled calmly:
"Don't worry, he's fine. He's staying on the ship to take care of Fire Fist Ace, so he won't get off the ship for the time being. When he gets settled in Dressrosa, he'll be back on Fish-Man Island."
Jinbe is actually still on Law's submarine protecting Fire Fist Ace.
Not only him, but Jozi, Ivankov, and Straw Hat Luffy were all protecting Fire Fist. They took turns taking turns and never left.
With this lineup, unless blocked by the admiral, everyone will be given food.
When Ben Beckman heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
He didn't see the submarine.
He had some doubts, had Trafalgar Law and "Fire Fist" Ace really been transferred to the Whitebeard Pirates' ship?
Although it is indeed safe to follow the big fleet and no one can break through the defense of the three pirate groups to kill people, but...
...At the banquet in the Dragon Palace, there were many people and mixed opinions, so it was a bit imprudent to just reveal the whereabouts and location of Fire Fist.
Not to mention anything else, the dancers and guards of the Dragon Palace all heard it.
In fact, when they heard Ren say the words Ace, Jinbe and Dressrosa, the faces of some of the fishman guards remained calm, but they remembered these words in their hearts.
The banquet lasted for more than two hours.
The pirates were full of wine and food, said goodbye to the king, and left.
Watching them leave, Neptune was completely relieved.
Although it seems that the people of the Lionheart Pirates are not as vicious as the newspapers say, they are too powerful and they put a lot of pressure on him.
After entertaining the guests, Neptune returned to his palace with the left minister, the right minister, and the two princes Shark Star and Cartoon Star.
Without the outsiders, the right minister hesitated for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, Whitebeard is dead. His territory in the New World is now in turmoil. His flag may no longer be able to protect Fish-Man Island."
This was a bit euphemistic, but Neptune was not stupid and understood what he meant.
The king's face instantly darkened, and he stared at him sharply: "You mean, Fish-Man Island wants to find another ally?"
"Yes."
Ignoring the king's increasingly ugly expression, the right minister calmly analyzed, "The Whitebeard Pirates already have too much to take care of themselves. The red-haired swordsman Ren and the empress of Nine Snakes are all candidates for consideration.
In particular, the swordsman Renn, with his momentum of defeating the admiral and destroying Malevando, shocked the sea and made countless people afraid of him.
He doesn’t have any territory or allies. If Fish-Man Island proposes to seek asylum at this time... well, form an alliance, he will definitely..."
"shut up!"
Before the right minister could finish speaking, King Neptune interrupted him rudely, with anger on his face, "Isn't the Dragon Palace that kind of ungrateful country?
Whitebeard has protected this island for more than 20 years. He threw away his flag as soon as he died. How snobbish and cold-blooded? Don't mention this matter again!"
He was good friends with Whitebeard when he was young, and even formally formed an alliance with Whitebeard over a glass of wine when Whitebeard announced that he would protect the Fishman Island so that pirates would no longer dare to kidnap the fishmen.
Rationally, he knew that the right minister was right, Fishman Island needed new allies.
But he is not a white-eyed wolf. As soon as Whitebeard died, he took down his flag. He did such an ungrateful thing.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you seriously consider this matter. As a king, you cannot be swayed by personal emotions..." The right minister also tried to advise.
"Shut up, go down! I don't want to hear this today." Neptune looked angry and asked him to leave.
The king's anger was still very intimidating. Minister Zuo and several princes were trembling and did not dare to say anything.
"..."
The right minister was silent, with no expression on his old face.
The old man turned his head and left a little lonely, his back a little lonely.
He had observed that the swordsman Wren was not as bad as the newspapers said.
He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While the Lionheart Pirates were still on the island, Ren proposed an alliance without any foundation. If his attitude was more respectful, the probability of the other party agreeing was definitely not low.
In this way, Fishman Island was successfully tied to the chariot of that promising young man.
pity……
Since the king refused and Ren didn't mention it, he probably missed it.
The right minister is right, Renn is not very interested in Neptune and Fish-Man Island.
If the other party approached, he would consider it. No one would mind having an extra piece of land and an ancient weapon. Since Neptune didn't mention it, he naturally wouldn't think too much about it.
After the banquet, the Lion left the Fish-Man Island non-stop with the pirate fleet and headed for the New World.
