Chapter 278 / Chapter 279

"In a place like this, I bet we're about to find a new crewmate!"

Baccarat smiled and nodded gently, then pushed the door open.

The cafe was neither large nor small, and there were few customers inside at the time.

The arrival of Nami and the others drew the attention of everyone in the cafe.

Not only were there a lot of them, but every last one was exceptionally beautiful. It would have been hard not to notice them.

Seeing so many customers arrive at once, Camie hurried over to welcome them.

"Welcome! What can I get for you, ladies?"

Reiju gave her a sweet smile and said with easy grace, "We'd like to try your specialties!"

Camie nodded eagerly and called Kailian, Isili, and the others over to seat Reiju's group.

Before long, Reiju and the others were sampling the Mermaid Cafe's signature coffee and desserts.

Everyone showered them with praise.

Nami watched the mermaids passing by outside the window. "I wonder how Chris's talks are going?"

Honey Queen took a sip of coffee and said elegantly, "I don't know exactly what they're discussing."

"But I have a feeling the merfolk kingdom will become an ally of the Chris Pirates!"

Since smoking was forbidden in the cafe, Betty had to settle for ordering some candy.

She popped a piece into her mouth and said, "That's Chris's personal charm at work!"

Kaya, Carina, and the others nodded in agreement.

There was no question about that!

Practically everyone in the Chris Pirates had joined because of Chris himself. They truly believed they could accomplish great things by following him!

"Are you... members of the Chris Pirates?"

As Nami and the others chatted idly, a blue-haired woman suddenly appeared.

It was none other than the owner of the Mermaid Cafe—Madame Shyarly!
