Pirates: Start by rejecting redhead invitations

The grocery store owner's words made Lin Mo fall into deep thought.

He never believed in those fortune-telling stories on the street.

But for some reason, the nagging words that the old man said now made him feel uneasy and have a bad premonition.

As if something bad was really going to happen.

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo looked back at the grocery store owner who had put away the seven copper coins on the table and picked up the newspaper as if nothing had happened.

Although he knew a lot about many people and places in the pirate world, he knew very little about Goa Kingdom. He didn't even know if there really was such a grocery store in Gao Town.

Not hearing the bell ringing at the door, the grocery store owner knew that Lin Mo hadn't left yet, so he continued while reading the newspaper: "Every cause must have its effect. No one's life will always be smooth sailing. You are a smart person. When encountering a crisis, You can also deal with it calmly, but once you encounter a setback that is beyond your acceptance range, what will you do?"

Lin Mo asked expressionlessly: "Who are you?"

The grocery store owner responded nonchalantly: "I'm just the owner of this small grocery store. If you have any questions about what I said, you can ask, but I may not answer you."

Lin Mo: "..."

What's the difference if this is said or not...

After another brief moment of silence, Lin Mo continued to ask: "You said I will lose something, what is it?"

Hearing this, the grocery store owner lowered the newspaper in his hand slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Mo, and then said with a half-smile: "Maybe it's his belongings, maybe someone around him, or maybe it's just a false alarm. What the outcome will be depends on your own decision."

Lin Mo: "..."

So, this guy always means the same thing...

Lin Mo never believed in this so-called fortune telling, nor did he believe in fate.

However, based on his understanding of the world, Mrs. Charlie's divination of Mermaid Island, which was almost 100% accurate, made him a little shaken.

Although Charlie said that after they leave Mermaid Island, a new crew member will come on board in two years.

Although it's not time yet, Perona is on the ship now. Because they haven't accepted her yet, she is not yet a formal crew member on the ship. So, so far, Charlie's divination has not gone wrong.

And now.

The owner of this grocery store seems to be able to do some divination. Just watching him calculate with seven copper coins, it feels very different from Charlie and Hawkins who use cards to divine.

Lin Mo is very satisfied with his current life.

Therefore, he does not hope that there will be too many changes in the future.

But this old man actually said that he would lose something...

Even if it was lying to him, he couldn't bear it.

Think of this.

Lin Mo appeared in front of the counter in the blink of an eye, took out the third generation Guiteru from the system space, took out the sheath and pressed the sword blade against the neck of the grocery store owner, and said expressionlessly: "Speak clearly."

Usually, if a normal, responsible person is suddenly threatened with a sword, not to mention how scared he is, at least he will be at a loss.

And this person seemed to have guessed that Lin Mo would come. He was not surprised at all, and naturally put the newspaper in his hand on the counter.

"Young man, I'm just saying casually. All the choices you have made in your life will produce different results. You are still too young now. You think you have experienced a lot, but what you have experienced in the past What you experience is just a drop in the ocean of your life.”

"That's not what I want to know."

"Haha, I know. Let me ask you a question. How old do you think I am?"

The grocery store owner asked seemingly casually.

Lin Mo frowned slightly and said casually: "Seventy or eighty."

The grocery store owner smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm actually only thirty."

Lin Mo: "?"

thirty?

Even if his hair is gray, how can a 30-year-old have so many wrinkles on his face?

Seeing Lin Mo's confusion, the grocery store owner continued: "Want to know what happened to me?"

Lin Mo: "..."

The grocery store owner continued: "You know the saying that secrets must not be revealed. It means that I have revealed too many secrets. This is the punishment given to me by fate. Even though I am only 30 years old, my body is already more than eight years old. I’m ten, if you want to know the future, I can tell you, but based on my understanding of fate, after I finish speaking, I will accelerate my aging again, and in the worst case scenario, I may die immediately.”

Lin Mo: "..."

Thirty years old, over eighty body.

In addition to what the old man said before...

Is it possible that this old man is not from this world?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Mo asked directly: "Did you come from another world?"

The grocery store owner said calmly: "I know why you asked, but unfortunately, you guessed wrong. I am the native of this world."

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo continued to ask: "Is your divination accurate?"

The grocery store owner replied with a half-smile: "Whether it's accurate or not depends on whether you believe it or not. If you want to kill me, feel free to kill me. I won't beg for mercy, and I won't put up any resistance."

Lin Mo frowned slightly and said, "So, you would rather be killed by me than tell me the answer I want to know?"

The grocery store owner smiled and said: "If I said that this is destined, would you believe it?"

Lin Mo: "..."

People like this who are not afraid of death are actually the most difficult to deal with...

It's exactly what the grocery store owner said.

The pirate world is indeed very different from other worlds.

There will be a lot of things here that don't make sense with logic, whether they're people or anything else.

Even if you don't have devil fruit abilities, some people can have various other abilities.

It's like the divination skills that Xia Li from Mermaid Island knows.

And Hawkins.

Hawkins is a straw fruit user, which has nothing to do with his card divination.

There is also a little girl named Marianu who is the partner of MR3 under Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai. Marianu is not a Devil Fruit user, but she has the ability to control the emotions of others through the paint on the color palette. Ability.

Therefore, what this old man said still made Lin Mo a little shaken.

Without thinking any more, Lin Mo took back the third generation of ghosts and asked expressionlessly: "So, my choice may also change the results of your fortune telling?"

The grocery store owner nodded lightly: "Yes, you can change, because your destiny is different from that of many people who have come to my store, or in other words, your destiny is different from that of people in this world."

Lin Mo: "..."

So, it can still be changed.

Lin Mo was about to ask what he was going to do.

The grocery store owner took the lead and reminded you: "Although you can indeed change your original destiny, the probability of success is only [-]%."

Lin Mo: "!"

Although it is not yet certain, what the old man said he would lose.

But no matter what it was, Lin Mo didn't want to lose it.

and so…

This probability of [-]% is too small. It is almost equivalent to failure.

If it had been anyone else, they would have had no choice but to wait for failure.

But then I thought about it, if it were him, even if the probability was only [-]%, he should still be able to give it a try...
