Chapter 253
The road to Coral City is opened in the deep sea forest, and the wide road is lined with trees that are still flourishing in the deep sea.

It seems that there is not much difference from the above forest, but in this environment, this forest has a different charm.

Just like the lake in the wetland and the lake in the desert, because of their different locations, one of them is ordinary, while the other can be called a miracle.

"Anyway, this forest is incredible."

"Mr. Jinbei, does anyone know how this forest came about?"

Robin asked curiously.

"Well, this is beyond the scope of my knowledge, but there are researchers in Haizhisen, and my friend Dan is a scholar who studies the forest." Jinbe nodded to Robin apologetically, and then looked at To Franky, "You are Tom's apprentice, right?"

"Hmm." Franky nodded in response, "What's the matter? Jinbe, do you know Mr. Tom?"

"Dan, a scholar of Haizhisen, is Tom's younger brother. His house is over there. If you have time, you can go there. I'm telling him what he asked for." Jinbei pointed to the path in the forest on the right to Frankie. Said.

"Thank you very much, I will definitely visit you in the past."

Although Mr. Tom has already left, Franky is still very happy to see his brother again. Dan is also an excellent shipbuilder, so it is good to discuss even a little bit.

"Coral City is a place where residents live, and the higher it goes up, the more prosperous it becomes, but the rent is also very expensive. Xiaoba's takoyaki shop is on the next floor."

"But the little girl you mentioned, Kami, seems to be working in the Mermaid Cafe now. The cafe is in front, so you can go there first."

Passing through the forest of the sea and onto the bustling streets, Jinbe answered questions for Luffy and his group.

"Why doesn't Kemi work in Hachi's shop?" Luffy scratched his head strangely, which was a bit puzzling.

"Uh, how should I put it?" Jinbe spread his hands helplessly, "Xiao Hachi's shop is too small, and two people can't stand up."

"But the business is still very good. When he delivered takoyaki to me some time ago, I heard him say that in a few months, he will be able to save enough money to open a store on the top floor. The place will be much bigger."

"If it's Hachi." Sanji touched the beard on his chin and nodded, "That guy's takoyaki sauce is really unforgettable and delicious."

There was a sound of "sucking", and Lu Fei and Zoro wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths. It's not bad, but it makes people greedy when they open their mouths.

"Let's go, let's go to Kemi first, and then let's go to Xiaoba! I want to contract him for a year of takoyaki!"

With golden eyes bursting out, Luffy took Jinbei's hand and strode forward.

After turning a small corner, an ordinary-looking cafe with no special exterior decoration was located in the most eye-catching position at the intersection.

"Please wait!"

Sanji suddenly took a step forward and came to the front of the crowd.

"Please let me find the way for everyone."

"???"

A group of people looked at Sanji in confusion.

"I am keenly aware that there is a deep crisis hidden in it."

Sanji arranged his hairstyle and clothes, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and trimmed his beard along the way, exuding holy light all over his body.

"Even if I become less of a sex maniac, I still can't change it"

Looking at Sanji who was swaying his head and posing, everyone walked forward speechlessly.

"Hey! Wait! Please let me be the vanguard! Make a perfect impression on Miss Mermaid!"

"Ding bell~"

The door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and the bell rang softly.

"Welcome~"

The sweet voice gently touched the heart, and the heat was just right, neither alienating nor too close.

There should be a mermaid girl with long light blue hair, or any other hair color.

But not
"It's not yet business hours yet." Jinbe said calmly, and instantly cut off the power supply of the high-gloss Sanji.

"How can it be like this"

"I obviously saw the maid in the cafe"

There was a heartbreaking "crack" in Sanji's voice as he grabbed his chest and began to throb.

"Charlie, it's me, Jinbe, and Luffy from the Straw Hats."

Jinbe walked into the store very familiarly, and then knocked on a door in the passage by the bar.

"Please come in."

After the door opened, a faint smell of tobacco wafted out.

Sitting on the soft red leather sofa is a huge mermaid beauty with a blue hood, blue eyes, and a smooth blue fishtail. The inside of the hood is circled by black lines with sun patterns.

In this room filled with wisps of smoke, there is a faint mysterious atmosphere.

There was a low table directly in front of Xia Li, and a crystal ball was placed on the red cushion.

Although the guests were allowed in, Xia Li still stared at the crystal ball, motionless, with doubts and blurred eyes.

"you"

Xia Li's eyes swept over everyone, then reached out to Luffy and tapped lightly in the air.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Luffy."

Hearing this, the partners were slightly agitated, mostly from Sanji, after all, no matter how you look at that stunned expression, it is full of fanatical reverence, and it even feels a little gay to look at it more.

"Cami is in the backyard garden. If possible, I would like to talk to you alone about it."

Charlie pointed to the crystal ball.

"can."

Luffy nodded, and the partners filed out with some doubts, and led by Jinbei to the backyard garden.

"Divination or prophecy?"

Luffy raised his eyebrows, glanced at the crystal ball, and then looked at Xia Li.

"There are all of them, but please sit down first, black tea or something?"

"It will be all right."

After pouring a cup of black tea for Luffy, Xia Li sat back in her original seat, but the table with the crystal ball was placed between them.

"As you can see, I am a fortuneteller. When I was four years old, I saw the coming of the era of great pirates, and I saw many other scenes after that. Although I can't determine the exact time, but later, all of them Once confirmed."

"The predictions I made were all 12% correct as of 100 years ago. Although this has caused me a lot of distress, but"

"Beginning 12 years ago, all future prophecies have been invalidated, can't you see it?"

Luffy knows that after he came to the Pirate World, the originally established future has changed, and the world that no longer follows the rules has lost its established future because of him. In this case, it is normal for the prophecy to fail.

"You can say that." Xia Li was slightly surprised, but then regained her composure.

A small string of bubbles came out of the pipe in his hand, and then a slender column of smoke spewed out.

"But I can still see some things, it's just." Xia Li frowned, and didn't let go for a long time. "Some things still happened, but the ending has changed."

The blue pupils are like a bottomless deep sea in the gap between the slightly squinted eyes, and the gradient from light blue to dark blue makes it impossible to see the deepest color clearly.

"Especially in the past two years or so."

"I saw you going to Impel Down City, but what I saw was not the burnt blackness and blood stains, but the prisoners who successfully escaped."

"I saw Whitebeard going to rescue Ace, but it wasn't that he escaped unscathed and Ace was rescued, but that Ace and Whitebeard died."

"There was a lot before this, but the ending was not much different from what I saw. Only these two things were completely different."

"Because of me." It is an affirmative word.

"Yes, it's because of you." Xia Li put down her pipe, staring at Luffy's purple eyes.

"Just when you came here, just now."

"I saw the destruction of Murloc Island."

"still you."

"Amidst the raging fire, your figure appeared, and after that, the Murloc Island was destroyed."

"A bounty of 50 billion is offered. Your bounty is second only to One Piece Roger. You have already been recognized as the fifth emperor of the sea. Murloc Island is completely unable to fight against you."

"The deviation of the previous prophecy is all related to you. I want to know, will you destroy Murloc Island?"

There was rare hesitation and apprehension in Xia Li's words.

"If this place needs to be destroyed, I will, but before that, I will try my best to complete the migration."

"Since you also know that your prophecy cannot determine the time, then all I can be sure of now is that at least I will not destroy this place now. I am here to see my friends Kemi and Xiaoba, and then go to the new world."

Luffy pondered for a moment, and then added: "Maybe I will kill some bad guys who make me angry."

"Whitebeard won't interfere too much with Murloc Island because of his human status, but if he makes me angry, I will."

"After all, I, a murderous bastard, might do something bad to destroy the harmony between humans and mermaids."

He took a sip of the black tea, he was not used to the sweet tea, Luffy put down the teacup and laughed at himself, a dangerous look flashed in his eyes.

"I think you are a very nice person, and many people think so."

"Is this a compliment? Thank you."

"If there is nothing else, then I'll go first." Luffy got up to leave, but Xia Li seemed to have nothing to say.

"Please wait."

Her brows still did not loosen. Although she got Luffy's promise that she would not destroy Murloc Island now, Luffy, who did not hide his dislike for certain things, still made Xia Li feel a little uneasy.

"What do you think of murlocs and mermaids? Can you tell me?"

"Just like people, there are good people, there are bad people, and there are ordinary people."

Turning his head to look at Xia Li, a trace of curiosity flashed in Lu Fei's eyes, "Who are you, Aaron?"

"He's my brother."

"Then you think he deserves to die?"

Charlie couldn't speak, just kept silent.

"In my eyes, those humans that Aaron and I killed, or any other race, are bad people, damn it, so I killed him."

"Those who rely on their own strength to bully those who are weaker, in this case, I who have more power, I will also deprive them of their lives at will, just like what they did before."

"It doesn't matter if it's a mermaid, a murloc, a human, a giant, or any other race."

"I didn't do anything here right away, just because this is where Whitebeard takes shelter, and it's Murloc Island."

"The conflict between mermaids, murlocs, and humans has a long history. At least for now, I don't plan to directly participate too much. That's a matter of future."

"So don't worry, as long as the necessary moment is not now, the destruction you predicted will not come, at least I can't find any reason and reason for me to destroy this place now."

"I said that at most I would only kill people and kill bad people. I have let those guys go once, but three times, they still have a chance to provoke me. If there are more, I will slaughter them all, even if the blood It will dye Murloc Island red."

"Also, hasn't your prophecy been changed because of me?"

Luffy spread his hands, "What if the Murloc Island doesn't need to be destroyed? Maybe I found a new way when I had to destroy it. That's not sure."

"The future is no longer that predestined thing when I come, and you have verified all of this."

"The future is created by me, and I am the future of this world."

"Divination or something, just have fun, don't take it too seriously, if the prophecy brings you too much pain, then let it go, I think you seem to hate this thing."

After a short moment of daze, Xia Li nodded slightly, her dark blue fish tail swayed unsteadily, her mood was not calm.

"As an aside, I've always wanted to ask."

"You say." Xia Li's restless fish tail stopped.

"I heard from Jinbei that the three princes and the princess were born to the same mother."

"Yes, it's Princess Otaki, but she's not here anymore."

"Although it is very offensive, please forgive me, an ignorant human being, because I am really curious."

"Why don't the three of them seem to be of the same species at all?"

"It's really rude." Xia Li stared at Lu Fei's eyes, with a look of incomprehension in her eyes.

"For you humans, it's really hard to understand."

Charlie sighed, and finally explained.

"This is actually one of the reasons why humans classified mermaids and murlocs as fish rather than humans."

"Murlocs and mermaids are different from humans. After a murloc and a mermaid get married, the offspring will choose one of the four male fish, murloc, female fish, and murloc."

"Different from humans, the children born to humans will be more like their parents, while the children of mermaids and murlocs are affected by genes. The three princes were indeed born to Princess Otohime, but because the ancestors of the king and queen had appeared through other forms."

"Ancient memories are deeply hidden in the genes, and the children born will show different forms because of their ancestors."

"If Kaimi and Xiaoba get married, kissing murlocs and octopus murlocs, if their children are shark mermen, it only means that their ancestors had shark mermen, which is very common between mermen and murlocs. .”

"Do you understand now?"

Xia Li finished all this calmly, but there was a strange look on Luffy's face.

"There's no way to prove that it's green. Oh no, I mean your circle is really messed up."

"go out!"

Xia Li issued an order to evict the guest without mercy.
