344 Fortune-Teller Shyarly

At the port of Fish-Man Island, Teach and his crew parked their pirate ship and then disembarked.

They curiously observed everything around them. Pearls, corals, rare shells, and all sorts of precious treasures were casually placed around Fish-Man as decorations.

"Dazzling jewels" is not enough to describe what he saw. Then Nightfall saw the giant tree in the direction of the Fish-Man's palace, the Sun Tree Eve.

Her roots brought air and sunlight into Fish-Man Island, which is the source of the Fish-Man Island's survival, since light and air are essential conditions for the survival of any living species.

For Fish-Man Island, the Sun Tree Eve is their mother.

This island, Fish-Man Island.

Located directly beneath the Holy Land Mary Geoise, at a depth of 10,000 meters, this island is a crucial stop on the way to the New World and the birthplace of most Fish-Man Race and Merfolk. It is also known as the "Underwater Paradise" and is a dreamlike haven.

The inhabitants of Fish-Man Island are mainly Merfolk and Fish-Man Race. One of the Three Ancient Weapons, "Sea King," is a mermaid princess who appears only once every few centuries. In addition, the ship of oaths, "Noah," also slumbers here.

Great Pirate Era, the swarms of pirates have brought endless trauma and suffering to this beautiful island. Fish-Man and mermaids prayed to the heavens with tears in their eyes. At this time, Whitebeard appeared, defeated the numerous pirates as expected, and declared Fish-Man Island as his territory. From then on, peace came.

The Whitebeard Pirates' flag flies in many places on Fish-Man Island.

In the port of Fish-Man Island, Teach could see it at a glance in the most obvious place, looking at the familiar flag that he hadn't seen for several years.

Under the immense prestige of the Whitebeard Pirates, passing pirates dared not act recklessly, knowing that troublemakers would eventually be dealt with in the New World.

However, while they dared not cause trouble openly, the pirates harbored many dark thoughts behind the scenes.

Besides slave traders, what attracts pirates is the countless treasures. Accumulated over hundreds of years, the treasures are piled up like mountains, which is why countless people have come to covet them.

The treasure of the underwater royalty!

Countless treasure ships laden with gold and silver sank to the bottom of the sea, all of which benefited them in vain.

For Fish-Man Island, these gold and silver treasures are of no use, and they don't even care about them. What they need is a stable environment and peace.

Before receiving protection from the Whitebeard Pirates, they paid money for security, which resulted in the plundering of much of their treasure.

If the king of Fish-Man Island lived in a peaceful era, he would be a very competent king, as evidenced by the deep love and respect he enjoys among the Fish-Man Island's inhabitants.

But this was a chaotic era, and he was incapable of leading Fish-Man Island to strength or rebelling; that would be unfit for him. He could only seek peace by relying on the strong.

At this moment, Teach and his group looked ahead and saw a guard team from Fish-Man Island rushing towards them. From afar, Teach could see the huge figure.

Teach knew that the King of Fish-Man Island had arrived, riding a whale. Teach could sense that the king was not weak, but he was only at the level of Vice Admiral, which was not enough to impress him.

"Welcome to the Night Pirates! I am Neptune, King of Fish-Man Island. May I ask how I can be of service to you?" Neptune dismounted from the whale and bowed to Teach, adopting a very humble posture.

Teach glanced at the enormous mermaid, then looked around. His eyes flashed, and he spotted a somewhat familiar figure.

That's Jinbe, the future Shichibukai Knight of the Sea. Judging from his appearance, he should still be the captain of the Fishman Island Guard.

Their gazes returned to Neptune, a change that occurred in an instant and went unnoticed. "Hehe, don't worry, we're just passing through Fish-Man Island on our way to the New World. We don't plan to stay long," Teach said with a smile, allaying Neptune's concerns.

Facing the Night Pirates, not only Neptune, but everyone else was extremely nervous. The leaders and officers were all incredibly powerful, and if they really attacked Fish-Man Island, they would have absolutely no chance of resisting.

Hearing Teach say that, Neptune breathed a sigh of relief, and his anxiety subsided somewhat.

"In that case, please accept our hospitality from the Ryugu Palace. We have prepared a feast." Neptune said to Teach and the others. He liked to befriend such powerful individuals, and at the very least, he didn't want to make enemies. If they could build a closer relationship, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for Fish-Man Island.

"Well, let's wait until tonight. We'd like to explore Fish-Man Island a bit," Teach with a smile, not refusing. The Fish-Man Island's unique features were quite appealing.

However, Teach wasn't interested in the woman who had glanced at Queen Otohime beside Neptune and given birth to the future mermaid princess, Poseidon. It was hard to imagine how such a petite woman could have given birth to a child with such a massive Fish Giant.

Although she stood quietly to the side without saying a word, Teach some attention to her. She had long, wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, wore an orange hair accessory, and was dressed in a long robe with a fish scale pattern.

This natural-born Awakening Observation Haki, like Rediat, also possesses the ability to read minds and hear the inner thoughts of others.

However, unlike Rediat's ability to read memories, she can sense the other person's thoughts and emotions, and convey the user's own consciousness to others, influencing their minds and thoughts and creating a strong resonance. She can even change the other person's values and ideology.

This highest level of Observation Haki cannot be obtained through training; rather, it is innate, like Conqueror's Haki, and is even rarer than Conqueror's Haki.

This is an absolutely terrifying ability. Even people like the Celestial Dragons would be influenced by it and become loyal supporters of its ideals. If the Revolutionary Army had such talent, it could definitely expand like a snowball in a short period of time.

Seemingly noticing Teach's gaze, Rediat also looked at Queen Otohime.

His eyes gleamed. Otohime's unguarded state allowed him to glean some information: those who, like him, were born with Observation Haki possessed unique but highly practical special effects.

More importantly, he truly felt Otohime's kindness and pure heart, inheriting his father's memories. People with such pure hearts are extremely precious.

Otohime also looked at Teach and the others, but unusually, she couldn't hear anything in Teach and Rediat's minds.

Unlike her, Teach and Rediat sensed Otohime's gaze the moment she peered into their hearts, and instantly shut themselves off, making themselves undetectable.

Otohime is not a combatant, so she can't act like Teach and Rediat.

Fortunately, the moment she realized she couldn't detect anything, Otohime withdrew her ability and didn't continue, because she knew she had definitely been discovered.

Shifting his gaze from Otohime, Teach said calmly, "Your island should have a fortune teller, right? Where is she? I'm somewhat interested in her and have some questions I'd like to ask her." His eyes narrowed as he looked at King Neptune, but his tone carried an undeniable authority.

Teach's words caused Neptune and Otohime's expressions to change. They hadn't expected Teach to know about Shyarly's existence. Someone like Teach couldn't possibly be looking for anyone else but Shyarly.

They knew Shyarly's abilities were extremely important; they could help Fish-Man Island escape the crisis.

However, they had no choice but to comply with Teach.

"Very well, Dark Lord, I will have someone take you to her, but I hope you will not make things difficult for her; she is still a child," Neptune said, bowing his head slightly in pleading.

"Hehe, don't worry, Neptune, I won't do anything to that person. I just have some questions for him," Teach with a faint smile.

Nevertheless, Neptune was somewhat worried. Neptune was not very at ease with humans, but he had no way to deal with such a powerful being.

Shyarly lives in an area inhabited by mermaids and is quite famous locally because her divination abilities have helped many people in need.

Teach also had something to ask about this fortune teller whose divination abilities were 100% accurate, who predicted the arrival of the Great Pirate Era, the year of the Mermaid Princess's birth, and Whitebeard's death.

This divination ability is very illusory, but it can actually predict the future.

The other members were curious about the fortune teller, especially Baccarat, as it was somewhat similar to her Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability.

However, her Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability is based on probability.

This fortune teller, whom Teach cared about, undoubtedly piqued their interest.

However, there was one more thing that bothered Teach greatly: where did the Poneglyph that originally existed on Fish-Man Island go?

Teach's Observation Haki covered the entire island; he knew that Fish-Man Island had two Poneglyph, one called "Joy Boy's Confession" and the other the red Road Poneglyph.

Now, he has only found the Poneglyph, but the other Road Sign Stone has disappeared and been taken away.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?" Upon arriving at Shyarly's residence, Shyarly bowed to Neptune, displaying a maturity beyond her years. She still held the king in high esteem.

"Little Shyarly, this gentleman has something to ask you and hopes you can help him." Shyarly's abilities are very important to Fish-Man Island, and Neptune treats Shyarly with a level of politeness he doesn't show to others.

Because of her divination abilities, she pays close attention to events at sea. She can also use newspapers and Transponder Snail on Fish-Man Island, although it is unknown how the World Economic News uses them.

The moment she saw Teach, she knew who had come to see her. After all, she was still a little girl, but she had an indescribable calmness, probably due to her divination abilities and her extensive knowledge.

Shyarly was wearing a dark blue robe, and she looked quite cute.

"Are you Shyarly?" Teach asked calmly, though he was actually somewhat certain.

Shyarly looked at Teach, and Teach eyes met.

Suddenly, she looked at Teach in horror, her blue pupils shrinking as if she were seeing a monster. In fact, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in her mind: a dark world, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a man coldly and ruthlessly looking down on the world, with terrifying figures around him, seemingly his subordinates.

But at the same time, countless people were cheering at their feet.

This isn't real; it simply represents that many people died because of them, and the cheers represent the deep reverence and genuine submission of many.

This is contradictory, for Shyarly.

This wasn't the first time she'd seen a similar scene; she'd seen it with both Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard, and it symbolized their futures.

Without exception, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood signified that they had defeated countless enemies; all the strong had fought their way up in this way.

The slight difference lies in their backgrounds. Roger is shrouded in a lot of curses because he started the Great Pirate Era, but at the same time he brought suffering to countless people, and countless people hate him.

Whitebeard, on the other hand, is a voice of reverence, symbolizing the respect that the members of the Whitebeard Pirates held for him.

But she is still just a little girl, and every time she sees such a scene, it leaves a deep shadow on her, and it will take her some time to recover.

"Yes." After a long while, she came to her senses, her voice trembling slightly.

"Can you tell me what you saw?" Teach asked Shyarly curiously. Shyarly's appearance was obviously obvious to all of them. Considering Shyarly's divination abilities, they knew that Shyarly must have seen something.

Faced with Teach's question, Shyarly trembled slightly as she recounted what she had seen, including her understanding, without any concealment.

Her intuition told her that she couldn't hide it and that the dangerous man in front of her would find out. Her senses were very sharp; Teach's mere presence in front of him put a lot of pressure on her.

"It's like..." Shyarly couldn't help but say, but paused slightly.

"Like what?" Teach asked with a laugh.

"Like an emperor," Shyarly said softly, expressing her thoughts. The scene was like that of a decisive and ruthless emperor beloved by his people.

The moment the words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze.

Neptune's pupils contracted, as did Otohime and Jinbe, who were closest to the Night Pirates and therefore heard it.

Their hearts tightened; they were utterly shocked. They believed in Shyarly's divination abilities, but the title of "Emperor" held a very special significance in this era, even though many speculated that Teach's ascension to the throne was only a matter of time.

Did they hear something terrible? I hope they won't be killed to silence them.

The Night Pirates paid no attention to them; those who came here were all officers. Shyarly's voice rang in their ears.

Soon, Teach couldn't help but grin and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

The other members all laughed excitedly.

"Ah, this is fate!" Kos laughed.

"It seems everything was predestined." A strange smile appeared on Lafitte's face.

"The throne awaits us, so let's kill everyone who stands in our way. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself." Shiryu of the Rain licked her lips.
