Chapter 84

"Louf, this is Miss Syrina, a beautiful mermaid from the Merfolk!"

Adrian also introduced Louf to the identity of Miss Syrina, the mermaid.

"Hello, Ms. Syrina."

Louf looked up and greeted him politely.

However, when she finally saw the full figure of the tall, successful, and simply yet revealingly dressed Syrina, she seemed to have been struck by something.

With a single step, the Little Fox hid behind Adrian, head bowed, refusing to look at the young and beautiful mermaid opposite him. Its fluffy, snow-white fox tail drooped listlessly behind it.

However, Louf's performance once again drew a light laugh from Miss Mermaid Syrina.

"So cute!"

Leading Adrian and Louf into the Mermaid Cafe, and then guiding them to a window seat with a good view, Miss Mermaid Syrina said goodbye and left for the time being.

"Louf, why did you react that way when you saw Miss Syrina?"

Louf's voice was almost imperceptible. "Because..."

"Um?"

"Because the gap is just too big!"

The Little Fox clutched its barren conscience and lowered its head in despair.

Adrian's gaze slowly moved downwards, and almost instantly he understood what Louf was trying to say.

A certain Arctic Fox Mink Tribe Boa Sandersonia, who wished to remain anonymous, was virtually flawless in appearance.

But...

Below the neck and above the instep, however, lies a desolate flat surface.

To be fair, the Little Fox and the mermaid are truly incomparable in this respect.

It's like the difference between walnuts and watermelons...

"It's alright, just drink more coconut juice." Adrian averted his gaze and said casually, "One cup a day will keep your skin fair and plump."

Louf immediately looked up, her eyes shining as she gazed at Adrian.

"Really, Adrian- sama?"

"It's actually fake," Adrian bluntly exposed Louf's fantasy, saying insincerely, "Isn't it fine as it is now?"

The Little Fox asked shyly in a low voice, "Adrian- sama, do you really like this size?"

"No, even though small breasts are a rare resource, I still prefer something more impactful, and face wash is the best!"

The Little Fox immediately turned its head away angrily, ignoring Adrian altogether.

Just then, Miss Mermaid Syrina, who had just left, returned, carrying some of the Mermaid Cafe's specialty foods.

The Mermaid Cafe is named as such because this luxurious cafe is almost exclusively for the mermaid community, and the food and drinks served are all light and palatable to mermaids.

Wakame crème brûlée, seaweed soufflé, stargazing eel pie, coffee-flavored manatee milk...

Adrian only sampled a little before putting down his utensils, while Louf, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed the local delicacies of Fish-Man Island.

"What's wrong, Mr. Adrian? Don't you like the food in the coffee shop?"

Miss Mermaid Syrina clasped her hands together, holding the plate to her lower abdomen, a gesture that accentuated her cleavage.

Louf suddenly found the once incredibly delicious Fish-Man Island specialties to have become utterly tasteless.

Adrian frankly admitted, "It's just that some things don't quite suit my personal taste."

Louf secretly memorized this point of knowledge.

Even if I can't become a voluptuous and glamorous woman, I must become the most beloved little cook!

Then, Adrian revealed the main purpose of his visit to the Mermaid Cafe.

"By the way, Miss Syrina, I've heard that there's a Divination at the Mermaid Cafe whose Prophecy are incredibly accurate. Is that true or not?"

"You mean Little Shyarly? That child does know a little bit about Divination."

Adrian said earnestly, "May I ask this Little Shyarly to help me with Divination?"

Adrian was somewhat interested in the Prophecy "Madame Shyarly," who left a deep impression on readers in the original work.

Miss Mermaid Syrina chuckled, "I never thought the legendary White Ghost would believe in these superstitious Prophecy... Well, since it's Adrian's request, I'll go and call Little Shyarly over. She's been staying at the Mermaid Cafe lately and hasn't gone back... to there."

Not long after, Mermaid Syrina emerged with a pale-skinned mermaid girl of about seven or eight years old, who was none other than the Prophecy Boa Sandersonia, Shyarly.

"Little Shyarly, this is Uncle Adrian, whom I just mentioned to you," the mermaid introduced.

Adrian's lips twitched slightly; he was too lazy to correct such a trivial detail about the form of address.

"Uncle Adrian, what can I do for you?"

At this time, Shyarly was not yet the future "Madame Shyarly" who was always smoking, and she asked questions very politely.

"Divination." Adrian smiled slightly. "I need Miss Little Shyarly to perform a Divination for me."

Little Shyarly glanced at Adrian, somewhat embarrassed, "But almost everything I Divination from the crystal ball was bad news."

To strengthen the credibility of her words, Little Shyarly deliberately emphasized, "It's really, really unfortunate."

Adrian had anticipated this.

The little mermaid before us accurately Prophecy the coming of the Great Pirate Era at the age of four, and even before the Paramount War, she accurately foresaw the demise of Whitebeard Edward Newgate.

If the information weren't so unclear, Adrian would have suspected that Madame Shyarly had eaten the Prophecy Fruit or the Foresight Fruit; otherwise, her Prophecy abilities would have been far too accurate.

Setting aside irrelevant thoughts, Adrian waved his hand and said, "It's alright, just do a random Divination, whatever the result."

Little Shyarly still seemed a little embarrassed. She first glanced at Miss Mermaid Syrina, then bit her lip and nodded.

Seeing that Little Shyarly agreed to the Prophecy, Miss Mermaid Syrina led the three to a quiet lounge in the Mermaid Cafe, and soon brought the Prophecy crystal ball with her.

Adrian and Little Shyarly sat on either side of the Tea Table.

Little Shyarly placed the crystal ball on a velvet red cushion, pointing the other side of the crystal ball toward Adrian.

Time passed slowly, and the crystal ball began to emit a faint glow, with fleeting fragments of images flashing rapidly across its crystal-clear surface.

Silence fell over the room. The Little Fox Louf and the mermaid Syrina held their breath, quietly awaiting the outcome of the Prophecy.

After a moment, the light from the crystal ball stabilized, and some information slowly appeared within it.

However, Little Shyarly's eyes widened as she realized what was written in the crystal ball.

Within the crystal ball's image, the figure of the uncle named Adrian appeared and disappeared repeatedly, eventually leaving only a pale white expanse, nothing else.

"This..."

Little Shyarly was completely baffled. In previous Divination, there were either towering flames or screams of pain, but never anything like this.

At the very least, there should be a still frame; what's with this white light now?

Could there be something wrong with the crystal ball?

Little Shyarly frowned.

Adrian asked, "What happened?"

"This," Little Shyarly pushed the crystal ball and replied, "Your future isn't shown in the crystal ball, only an endless expanse of pale white."

Adrian asked, equally puzzled, "Only pale white?"

What's this?

The panel's mysterious causal protection?

Or is it the max-level Ghost Body that's making a difference?

Just then, Louf volunteered, raising her arm eagerly, "Adrian -sama, why don't I give it a try!"

Adrian glanced at the Little Fox and said calmly, "If Miss Mermaid doesn't object."

"Yes," the Prophecy Boa Sandersonia nodded immediately.

Little Shyarly was also eager to figure out why her Prophecy abilities didn't work on Adrian. Was there something strange about Adrian, or had something gone wrong with her own Prophecy abilities?

Adrian stood up and offered his seat to Louf.

A moment later, Little Shyarly raised her head, her face pale.

She glanced at Louf, then hesitated before saying, "I saw... a ruined, whale-shaped forest, Mink Tribe members groaning in pain, and a gigantic, tusked elephant wreaking havoc everywhere..."

Adrian seemed lost in thought.

If I'm not mistaken, the scene Shyarly Prophecy now is the future when Jack the Drought storms Zou and violently hunts down the Nine Red Scabbards.

After all, the "giant tusked elephant" that Shyarly Prophecy had such obvious features that it was almost instantly recognizable as the Zoan Ancient Zoan Mammoth Fruit.

This Merfolk Boa Sandersonia with Prophecy is truly amazing...

Upon hearing Shyarly's unfortunate Prophecy, Louf's expectant expression suddenly froze, and she turned to Adrian with a flustered and helpless look.

"It's alright, my little darling," Miss Mermaid Syrina comforted her. "Shyarly has made quite a few Prophecy, but most of them are things that will happen in the very distant future, and they might not even come true. There's no need to be so nervous right now."

"That's right, don't panic, Louf." Adrian regained his composure, and his calm and powerful voice quickly soothed Louf's emotions. "Miss Shyarly, could you tell us approximately when this Prophecy will take place?"

Little Shyarly shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but there's one last scene in the picture, which is a blurry figure holding a blue lightsaber."

"That's you! Adrian- sama!"

Louf let out a scream, completely throwing her previous tension to the wind.

As the undisputed third-in-command in Adrian's team.

The Little Fox was naturally very clear about the team leader's general abilities.

Furthermore, back in the Sabaody Archipelago, she and Lumi had witnessed the battle between Adrian and Borsalino, and she knew for certain that Adrian possessed a Ghost Energy Sword ability similar to the Heavenly Cloud Sword!

The blurry figure wielding the blue lightsaber that appeared in Shyarly's Prophecy was definitely Adrian- sama!

Adrian- sama must have gone to Zou because of me!

The Little Fox looked at Adrian with deep emotion, its eyes filled with an intense and tender affection.

This left Adrian somewhat bewildered.

What's wrong with Little Fox Louf?

I only said one sentence, and did nothing else, so how did she suddenly start plotting her own scheme?

Could it be...?

Is it heat cycle?

As a seasoned Prophecy of doom, Little Shyarly knew that her Prophecy about Louf would most likely become a future reality.

That also means that the Prophecy about Adrian just now was unsuccessful...

This indicates that there is indeed something wrong with this man.

Just as Little Shyarly was about to say something, a noisy commotion suddenly came from the Mermaid Cafe, and could even be clearly heard in this quiet lounge.

Louf's Divination has ended, Adrian's Divination will not yield any results, and Miss Syrina the Fish-Man has no intention of Divination.

The group then left the lounge and went to the coffee shop outside.

The first thing they saw was the ferocious Fish-Man standing in the crowd.

Wow! A fish! A huge fish! A tiger shark!

[Chapter 159. The Thugs of Fish-Man District]

Adrian silently reached out and gently tapped Louf's head, who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what it is. What kind of tiger shark is this?

This is more like a shark wearing a tiger-skin coat, okay?

Although this way of putting it is also quite strange...

Standing in the middle of the Mermaid Cafe at this moment was a group of fierce-looking, tall Fish-Man.

The leader was a tall, muscular Fish-Man with a green headscarf, thick black curly hair and a full beard, and skin that was an eerie bright red.

Standing beside the red-skinned Fish-Man were many other Fish-Man.
