The walking dragon son

Charles enjoyed a meal that had quite an underwater flavor and leaned back in a chair in the cafe with satisfaction.

The sun tree Eve transmits the sunlight from the sun to the bottom of the sea accurately, and uses its roots to illuminate the underwater world which should be pitch dark.

So Charles could feel the gentle sunshine which was almost the same as that on the sea.

For Charles, he does have a lot of free time, but there is not much time that is truly "idle".

Emptying his mind, all those things that he had to constantly consider and ponder in the past flowed through his mind like water in a river, and this time, Charles just let them flow by without putting any thoughts into them.

Ciel was holding a cup of coffee, exuding a sense of tranquility. In this tranquility, the magic power in Ciel's body that had been active since he ate the Mother Fire began to calm down.

In this calm, that power began to merge into the essence of Ciel and truly became Ciel's power.

The Left Minister looked at Charles who seemed to be about to fall asleep, and suddenly felt that this young man who was famous on the sea... or rather, notorious for his viciousness, gave him a strange feeling.

It was a warm feeling, like the sunshine transmitted by Eve, the sun tree.

Just based on that warm feeling, the Left Minister felt that this lazy boy was not a bad person.

"Ala, what a comfortable young man!"

Ciel raised his eyelids and looked at the giant mermaid who had approached him at some point.

It was a blue shark mermaid with short black hair covering the right side of her face, cool blue eyes, and red lipstick on her lips. She was wearing a dark purple hooded top and holding a pipe in her hand with purple nail polish, which added a lot of mature charm to her.

The left minister said, "It's Madam Xia Li, why did you come here in person?"

The person who came was the dragon's half sister, Xia Li, and the owner of this mermaid cafe. She was born with the ability to predict the future through a crystal ball, so she had a special status in Fishman Island.

So everyone, including the Left Minister, called her "Mrs. Xia Li".

More than thirty years ago, she predicted the birth of the Little Mermaid, the arrival of the Great Pirate Era, and the outbreak of the Marineford War, proving that her foresight was somewhat relevant.

Madam Xia Li nodded to the left minister and said, "I came here specially to see this human brother."

Ciel sat up and said, "This should be the first time we meet!"

Madam Shirley said, “This is indeed the first time you have seen me, but I have already seen you in my premonitions.”

"Precognition?"

Charles couldn't help but become interested. After experiencing so many worlds, he also saw a lot of so-called abilities to predict the future.

That is a magical ability involving the power of destiny, how can people not be curious.

However, Charles is from another world and is protected by the magic of the world. It can be said that he is an existence that transcends all worlds.

And Mrs. Shirley can actually observe her own future. It seems that her ability may be different from the predictive ability that he knows.

Charles asked, "So what kind of future do you foresee?"

Mrs. Charlie put the pipe to her mouth and took a sip. Bubbles kept coming out of the bowl at the end of the pipe, as if she was trying to calm herself down.

"Do you really want to listen? What I predict is not a good thing."

Mrs. Shirley's divination success rate is an astonishing 100%, which means that everything she predicts is bound to happen.

But what Mrs. Shirley predicted were all unfortunate major events, such as the birth of the Little Mermaid Princess causing the Sea Kings to invade Fishman Island, the arrival of the Great Pirate Era causing Fishman Island to face the danger of pirates, and Whitebeard's sacrifice causing Fishman Island to lose its shelter, etc.

The same is true in the original plot, where it was predicted that Luffy and others would destroy Fishman Island.

So although she was respected by others for predicting many major events, Mrs. Shirley herself thought that this ability was a burden.

Ciel said, "The future? No one knows what it will be like until it actually arrives."

The left minister opened his mouth, but in the end it was Lady Xia Li who spoke what he wanted to say: "But my predictions have never been wrong. They are bound to happen!"

Ciel smiled and said, "So? Should we give up the present because of a bad future? That's not my style."

As he spoke, Ciel's expression became a little serious, and he continued, "And I have been working hard to change the bad future."

Charles' words were not exaggerated at all. Knowing the plot did bring Charles an unspeakable advantage. But the price was that the shadow of future tragedies always loomed over his head, making Charles dare not relax or slack off.

Just like what Ciel said just now, even if the future is bad, we can't give up on the present. Maybe it's because the future is bad that we have to work harder now.

Mrs. Shirley was stunned for a moment, then she sighed with relief.

What she didn't tell Ciel was that she actually predicted that Ciel would appear in the picture two years ago after the end of the Battle of Marineford.

She had predicted the outbreak of the Marineford War more than thirty years ago, but the outcome this time seemed different from what she had predicted, especially with the appearance of Charles and Stella.

So after the end of the Battle of Marineford, she did a divination, and what she predicted was the scene about Ciel that she described.

After that, Lady Shirley had been keeping an eye on Charles. Although there had been no news about him for two years, she had heard about Charles' recent activities.

And now, after seeing it with her own eyes, she finally understood why this young man was able to create so many big events.

At least in terms of bravery, there is a huge difference between him and me. At least when facing the future, I don't have the courage to move forward like him.

Madam Shirley looked at Charles and smiled, then said, "I've met many great men, and you are different from them all!"

Ciel did not question it, because Mrs. Shirley had told fortunes for the Pirate King when she was still a child, but he was indeed different from Roger.

Madam Shirley continued, "I saw in the divination that you burned Fishman Street to ashes!"

Charles stroked his chin, thinking it was no surprise that he would do such a thing. If Hody Jones and his gang really didn't know what was good for them, burning down Fishman Street was entirely possible.

If you think about it carefully, the misfortunes that Mrs. Shirley predicted all had adverse consequences for Fishman Island. Sometimes misfortune is relative.

The burning of Fishman Street did not seem to be harmful to Charles. Since Lady Charles did not say that he did not need to worry too much about a fight between him and the Sea Kings, he would not be able to avoid it.

Just as Charles was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that Mrs. Charlie's expression was a little strange.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Madame Shirley looked at Charles, recalled what he had said, and made up her mind.

"I also saw... a scene where you were fighting five monsters on the ruins of an island."
