Chapter 425 The Prophecy of Changing Candidates
"Thank you for your rescue." Mrs. Xia Li bowed down politely but without losing her grace.
In the words of His Royal Highness, she understood what happened this time, and knew that it was Fang Xing who rescued her.
"You're welcome, I'm helping you because I need you to divination for something."
This impolite statement did not make Mrs. Xia Li feel angry, but was relieved. She didn't like the feeling of being indebted to others.It would be great to be able to repay the kindness through her ability.
"What are you going to divination about?" Mrs. Xia Li took out a crystal ball from behind, indicating that she could start at any time.
"Divinate a person." Fang Xingdao.
"A person? It refers to that person's marriage, good or bad luck or location." Mrs. Xia Li said subconsciously.
"Azimuth, of course, it would be good if you can divination the marriage and add good and bad luck."
It can be known from the location that Fang Xing does not know the whereabouts of this person.But he used a joking tone to make this serious question a little awkward.
"Can you tell me who that person is?"
"Ai En, a little girl." Fang Xing said.
"Is there only this message? Based on this message alone, it is very difficult for me to predict the result." Mrs. Xia Li said that if the fortune-telling person stood in front of her, then divination would not be difficult.But it's still impossible for her to divination someone she doesn't know when she only knows their name.
"Can I have a photo?" Fang Xing took out a photo and handed it to Mrs. Xia Li.
"Little girl?" Mrs. Charlie asked doubtfully.
"No, this is the previous photo. She disappeared in an unexpected shipwreck. Because of someone, I learned that she is still alive." Fang Xing said.
"That's a bit difficult. I have never done such a divination, and the result is not sure. I can only try."
Mrs. Xia Li didn't know Fang Xing's temper, so she gave Fang Xing a vaccination first.The photos taken a few years ago must have changed drastically. She wondered if it would be possible to infer and predict the results based on the child's appearance.
Without thinking too much, Mrs. Xia Li started divination with her palm facing the crystal ball.
After waiting for almost a moment or so, she got the result.
"Alive," she said.
"..Where is it?" Fang Xing asked.
"I don't know." Mrs. Xia Li shook her head. The result of her divination was like this. What she saw from the crystal ball was a blurred scene. Being able to get a blurred scene meant that the person was still alive, but she couldn't see through this. The layer of water curtain understands the contents inside, but she cannot know the specific location of Ain.
Fang Xing sighed, this result made him feel disappointed but also a little bit lost.
Mrs. Xia Li of Fishman Island is the peak divination person in this world. As far as he knows, no one can surpass her in divination.This also means that on the path of divination, if one cannot get results from her, so will others.
Mrs. Xia Li looked at Fang Xing who was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you much."
"No, maybe you can help." Fang Xing said suddenly.His sensitive head turned again, and he asked Mrs. Xiali in a different way, "Will I meet Ian?"
Mrs. Xia Li was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Fang Xing meant.Since I can't find her simply by using Ain's message, it's enough to start with Fang Xing.She used the crystal ball again to divination, and the result was soon obtained.
"You will meet in a mixed place. The time cannot be confirmed, but judging from your appearance in the crystal ball, it shouldn't be too long."
"That's enough." Fang Xing said.
After Fang Xing finished talking with Mrs. Xia Li, Sha Xing came over to invite and said: "This time I helped a lot, I hope you can go to Dragon Palace City for a banquet."
Part of the reason for Shark Star's invitation was to thank Mrs. Xiali for saving Mrs. Xia Li at this critical moment. It would be false to say no thanks, and Dragon Palace City would not be stingy with rewards for this.But another part of the reason is because of wanting to win battle strength. In the situation where Mrs. Xia Li predicted the fall of Whitebeard, if she could win battle strength with a banquet, why not try it?
"I'll forget it." Qingjiao directly refused, and at the same time muttered: "Compared to the boring banquet, the so-called cooperation has not been completed yet, you should first pay attention to the dark chess lurking in the fish-man island of Brother Doflaming Better."
Shark star's face was a little stiff, indeed, as Qingjiao said, now is not a good time for a banquet.What could be done?They have arranged for people to search possible places, and the most likely Murloc Street should be negotiated by Jinbe at the moment, and if they want to take action, they should wait for Jinbe to come back.
The cooperation with the murlocs was not over yet, and Qingjiao didn't want to teach him a lesson, so he chose to leave directly.Although no clues have been found about Doflamingo's arrangement on Murloc Island, the royal family of Murloc Island has provided information, and there are many places to investigate.Moreover, the news about Murloc Street also made Qingjiao want to investigate.
"Tch, it's really boring to have a banquet all day long." Lao Cai said.
"It's still more interesting to fight," Abramovich said.
The two left right behind Grandpa Qingjiao, and the other Eight Treasures Sailors followed one after another.Although some people's faces showed regret for the banquet, after all, they are also normal pirates, and it is inevitable to like banquets, but they still chose to follow Dongliang.
"So what about you? Are you going to participate?" Shark star looked at Fang Xing and his party and asked.
"Of course..." Fang Xing replied, but his voice stopped abruptly, and was interrupted by Sanji who took it over, "Of course!"
As long as you participate in this banquet, you will have a chance to meet the Murloc Princess.
"According to him." Fang Xing shrugged. Anyway, after getting the result of the divination, he was in a good mood, and it was the safest place to stay in Murloc Island.
In the past few days, he has learned of another divination from Mrs. Xia Li, which is the news that Whitebeard will fall.When Zai Gang heard the news, he was also taken aback.After all, it was a white beard, who was called the strongest man in the world, but then he was indifferent. This result may not be more normal.
Even though the historical trajectory of the pirates and even the situation of the entire sea are messed up because of his interference, the constant remains the same.
Although White Beard is strong, he is only one person, he has no way to defy the sky by himself.With the navy and other pirates coveting, the fall should be said to be an inevitable result.Unless Whitebeard can choose to retreat, only retreat can allow him to avoid these dangers. However, this is the same point. With Whitebeard's character, it is impossible to choose to retreat. In his opinion, only the weak and cowardly will choose way of doing.
As long as Whitebeard does not retreat, calculations centered on him will follow, and war...is inevitable.
And he doesn't want to participate in this war. Among the people with white beard, the only person who has friendship with him is Ace.And Fang Xing thought that his strength was strong enough in this sea, but he couldn't reach the point of reversing the situation of this war, at most it just added some variables.At the same time, his wounds were also deteriorating, and it was not a wise choice to participate in the battle. He did not think that he was a good person who put his own safety as a bet and served others.
The reason why Fang Xing stayed on Fishman Island was because it allowed him to avoid the war.
First of all, as the depth of [-] meters under the sea, Murloc Island was originally difficult and cumbersome to enter.As a war pirate, it is impossible to waste this time and energy, deliberately shifting the battlefield from the New World to Murloc Island.Secondly, the pirates who retreated to Murloc Island were more or less because they chose to avoid this war, and this collection is a powerful force. At least the two emperors on the bright side cannot ignore this force. strength.
To sum up, for Fang Xing, Fishman Island would be chaotic but not dangerous.
"Rolling Star, you take Mrs. Xiali back, and be careful this time," Shark Star confessed. "Then, you come with me."
……
"It's Mrs. Xia Li!...It's His Royal Highness!"
"It seems that His Royal Highness rescued Mrs. Xia Li, which is really great."
The murlocs of the Mermaid Café are chatting with each other.Although in front of His Royal Highness, the atmosphere like this is not good.But at the moment, under the excitement and joy, they didn't have too many scruples.
"I'm back." Mrs. Xia Li looked at the brand-new Mermaid Cafe and realized what had happened. She felt ashamed and a little moved at the same time.I am ashamed that, as a fortune teller, I did not predict the catastrophe that the mermaid cafe will encounter. What is touching is that even after such an accident, the mermaids did not disperse like this.
She swam back down the waterway in the sky, and the other merfolk swarmed around her.
Seeing Mrs. Xia Li successfully returned to the Mermaid Cafe, Car Roller also heaved a sigh of relief.Because he had been attacked before, he was terrified, worried that he would screw up again this time.
"Mrs. Xia Li, please rest well, and please wait patiently for your father to summon you later."
Mrs. Xia Li responded with a slight bow, "Yes."
Crashing Star didn't intend to stay here any longer, and asked the soldiers beside him to stay and strengthen the guard, while he slowly moved his body towards Dragon Palace City, his obese body appeared bulky and slow.
"Okay, let's stop here for the touching farewell. Can anyone explain to me what happened?"
The mermaids talked one after another, and Mrs. Xia Li also got a general understanding of the situation from it.
"Are you saying that Fang Xing and his gang saved you?"
Mrs. Xia Li suddenly felt that she was destined. First, she saved the mermaid in the mermaid cafe, arranged for the reconstruction of the mermaid cafe, and then rescued him.
She suddenly had a desire for divination, she wanted to see the boy's future.
Surrounded by mermaids, she came to a quiet room, and after placing the crystal ball properly, she started divination.
After a while of silence, the result of the divination followed.
But it also ushered in a longer period of silence, and Xia Li's face changed from normal to shock and finally panic.
A horrified voice came from her mouth, "Because of that human being, the Murloc Island will be destroyed!"
If Fang Xing is here, he will be stunned, why Luffy's prophecy appeared on him.
Mrs. Xia Li didn't stay in place for too long, she rushed out of her room in a hurry, and under the strange and strange eyes of all the mermaids, she shouted loudly: "Hurry up and get back to His Royal Highness!"
……
In the resplendent Dragon Palace City.
Kaimi and Papagu observed the surrounding environment from time to time, and because of Fang Xing, the two of them were also invited to Dragon Palace City.
As residents of Fishman Island, it was the first time for them to arrive at Dragon Palace City.Pappagu is no exception to this point. Even though his status is prominent in Murloc Island and he has sufficient funds, Dragon Palace City cannot come here for this reason alone. It has nothing to do with status and funds. It needs the consent of the royal family to come here. place.
"It's really extravagant, how much food can be exchanged for it." Fang Xing said.
"Bastard, how can this great building, Dragon Palace City, be measured by food!" Papagu retorted fiercely.
"For me, food is more important."
Fang Xing's ability, through manipulating the direction, allows him to naturally avoid the influence of the outside world. Even if he is lying on a hard floor, he can be no different from a warm bed.
"How is it possible, you are the only one who is weird." Pappagu said, "Kemi, don't you think so?"
"Hey" Cammy made a puzzled voice, not understanding how the matter involved her, but she still replied truthfully: "I also think that Papagu is right."
"Chopper, have you seen the coral reef next to it? At least it can exchange you for one year's cotton candy. Do you think food is more important than this kind of decoration." Fang Xing said as an example.
"What!" Chopper shouted. In its sight, there were no less than thousands of undulating carved coral reefs. If converted into cotton candy, it would be a cotton candy mountain that could surround it.It couldn't help but sigh: "It's really luxurious, but food is more important."
"...Are these decorations worth so much?" Huang Xing asked.On the seabed, coral reefs and this natural rock can be seen almost everywhere.Dragon Palace City only used these natural items to create its own aesthetic feeling.
"Almost, although these are very common in the sea, under the pressure of [-] meters deep under the sea, only murlocs and mermaids can dive to the bottom of the sea to pick them up." Shark star answered his brother's question.After he finished speaking, he came to a spacious and bright room on the facade of the building.
"This is the place to entertain distinguished guests. You guys need to rest here first. The banquet still needs some preparations. Emperor Xing, please report the situation with me." Shark Star said.
"Yes." Huang Xing replied.
Fang Xing and the others didn't have any objections, so they just sat down in this spacious room.There are fruits that belong to the bottom of the sea on the table, and Fang Xing just picks them up and tastes them without being polite.On the contrary, Sanji seemed a little anxious. If Fang Xing didn't mention the mermaid princess, maybe he didn't think so much, but after he finished speaking, Sanji was full of fantasies about the appearance of the mermaid princess.
After Fang Xing and the others waited for nearly a quarter of an hour, what was waiting for them was not a banquet, but soldiers pouring in.
