"Saint Gawain is joking. How could I not see you?"

Looking at the serious- Gawain, Madame Shyarly smiled humbly and continued.

"As you said, I did a divination for you not only when you announced at the banquet that you wanted to marry our lovely Shirahoshi."

In fact, I had already performed a divination when you sent your men to Fish-Man Island to deliver the message of your arrival.

I performed my third divination on you, when I received your message, when you personally visited Fish-Man Island, and last night.

In all three divinations, I saw your face, my lord!

As Madame Shyarly finished speaking, she suddenly slid off her seat, prostrated herself at Gawain's feet, and pressed her head heavily to the ground, bowing with utmost solemnity.

"In these three divinations, I saw different visions of you. I am willing to tell you everything the divinations revealed, asking only that you grant me one wish!"

"Oh?"

Gawain tilted his head, completely relieved. Now that he had truly joined the current world's destiny line, there was no need to worry about many things!

Having put aside his concerns, Gawain said softly.

"Madame Shyarly, I never make promises lightly, but whatever I do promise, I will do my best to fulfill it."

The weight of a promise cannot be expressed in a few words. Since you want me to fulfill your wish, then tell me what your wish is!

"Good!"

Madame Shyarly narrowed her eyes in appreciation, then looked up at Gawain and whispered.

"Please, Your Honor, forgive my brother. He is indeed guilty, but please spare his life and allow him to Impel Down!"

"So, in the three divinations you performed on me, you saw your brother die at my hands?"

Gawain nodded and then looked at Gion.

"Gion, remind me when you see Madame Shyarly's brother in the future."

"I see!"

Gion nodded, then spoke to Madame Shyarly.

"Madame Shyarly, tell me your brother's name and characteristics. I will pay attention to them when facing the enemy, and try my best..."

"No, it wasn't you who did it, Gion."

In my eyes, my brother died under Gawain's fist; it was Lord Gawain who killed my brother with his own hands during the battle!

The scene I saw was short but very clear. I saw Vice Admiral Gawain's men standing coldly beside him, including Gion Jinbe, Jinbe, and others I knew or didn't know.

But they were just standing by; it was Gawain himself who did the work. That's all I saw, so I don't know what my brother did that warranted the esteemed Gawain personally taking action!"

After Madame Shyarly finished speaking, she looked at Gawain expectantly, while Gawain asked with a hint of doubt.

"Interesting. So I killed your brother with my own hands? I fought him? Your brother is...?"

At this point, Gawain squinted as he recalled that before his transmigration, although he was a fan of One Piece, he wasn't a fanatic; he was just a fan enthusiast.

He certainly wouldn't forget many important plot points, but he might easily overlook some details that he considers unimportant.

Now, after repeatedly recalling the events surrounding Fish-Man Island, Gawain finally remembered who Madame Shyarly's brother was.

Her brother is quite famous; his name is Arlong. He's currently based in the East Blue and is bullying that little girl who sells oranges.

At the same time, seeing Gawain pause, Madame Shyarly quietly continued Gawain's words.

"My brother's name Arlong, and he's a real handful. Jinbe- san surely wouldn't have forgotten about him, right?"

"Certainly!"

Jinbe nodded heavily, then, with a serious expression, he spoke to Gawain.

"Saint Gawain, Arlong used to be my good friend. We were all on Fisher Tiger's ship and followed the flag of the Sun Pirates for a long time."

Later, Fisher Tiger refused... He died because no human was willing to donate blood to him, and Arlong came to hate humans completely because of this.

A disagreement arose between us, Arlong secretly attacked a naval ship by himself. He was personally arrested by Vice Admiral Borsalino, who was then Admiral candidate, and imprisoned in Impel Down.

Next, I was invited to become Shichibukai, and the World Government released all the Merfolk prisoners in Impel Down as a result. Arlong was also granted a pardon at that time and returned to his hometown.

However, after returning, he didn't stay long before leaving Fish-Man Island with his brothers who supported him and heading to the East Blue!

Since Shyarly saw that I was also present when Arlong died, I did not beg you to spare his life.

Then I think what he did is something even I can't accept!

At this point, Jinbe looked at Madame Shyarly with a hint of pity in his eyes. Although he didn't know much about Gawain, this man's personality was not one that could be easily changed.

And then, as expected, Gawain shook his head.

"Madame Shyarly!"

Gawain said.

"In that case, I'm afraid I can't make you any promises, because you only see the result of me killing your brother, but you don't see the reason why I killed your brother."

"I don't know the reasons why I'll kill him in the future, but if he truly deserves to die, then no one will be an excuse for me to forgive him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain raised his hand, gesturing for Madame Shyarly to stand up.

Seeing this, Madame Shyarly sighed deeply, stood up and sat back on the sofa, leaning against the armrest and giving a melancholy, bitter smile.

"I knew it. The future I see is always a predetermined outcome. If I could change it so easily, then such a change would be me denying myself!"

"So I should tell you my regret in advance, Madame Shyarly."

Gawain nodded to Shyarly, and Shyarly, upon hearing Gawain, forced a smile in response.

"I have no regrets, Gawain."

From the moment my brother left Fish-Man Island, determined to ignite a full-blown conflict between the Merfolk and human races and abandon the peace and stability that Fish-Man Island had protected for so long, I already knew I had lost him.

As for the future, there is little difference between a dead brother and a brother who will not return home.

After all, whether it's death or never returning, I've already lost him.

After finishing her sentence, Madame Shyarly rubbed her forehead and continued speaking to Gawain.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let me tell you the results of the remaining two divinations!"

Gawain, the death of my brother was the result of my first divination, which was when you sent your men to deliver the news of your impending arrival at Fish-Man Island.

When you personally arrive at Fish-Man Island, after I performed divination, I saw you and Whitebeard facing off on his ship!

I see countless black Inazuma constantly surging between you and the Whitebeard, a strong wind sweeping in from nowhere, clouds scattering restlessly, and the sea churning endlessly!

I saw Whitebeard's ship shattered in that clash; his incomparably famous Moby Dick had its decks blown off by the impact!

All I saw was this scene. I didn't see anyone else in it. There were only you and Whitebeard on the deck of the Moby Dick!

"What!!!"

"This...!!!"

Gion and Jinbe were utterly astonished; their mouths gaped open.

After the initial shock, Gion's eyes lit up. He realized that he must intensify the training of the adult so that he could reach the level of strength he would have in the future as soon as possible!

Jinbe took a deep breath.

Will Whitebeard and Pops Gawain clash in the future?

So, where was I back then?

Just as the two were deep in thought, Shirahoshi's beautiful tail released the distant booth, and she swam over to Gawain's side.

Lowering her head, Shirahoshi brought her face close to Gawain's and whispered.

"Even I've heard of Lord Whitebeard. Will Gawain be very powerful in the future?"

As Shirahoshi spoke, her breath brushed against Gawain's body, a warm sensation that tickled Gawain slightly.

Suppressing his desires, Gawain gently rubbed Shirahoshi's cheek and smiled.

"Madame Shyarly, I think I understand why fortune tellers are always popular with almost everyone."

If everyone could hear such interesting glimpses of the future from you, who wouldn't like a fortune teller? Haha!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain's gaze shifted, and his eyes suddenly fixed on Madame Shyarly.

As the gaze descended, Madame Shyarly suddenly staggered, and the surrounding air rippled slightly. The Merfolk moving around in the coffee shop felt a tightness in their chests, Jinbe looked at Gawain in disbelief.

Gion quickly came to Gawain 'Gawain side and gently put her hand on his shoulder.

"My lord, if you are in a state of high spirits when you cannot perfectly control your Conqueror's Haki, Conqueror's Haki will be unconsciously activated!"

Therefore, please try to calm yourself down to avoid alerting the enemy!
