Chapter 129 Prophecy
Dragon Palace City.
Neptune did not go out with Princess Otohime today. He was listening to the report of the left minister: "What? You said the treasury was stolen?"
The left minister said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I found this morning that the door to the treasury had been opened without permission."
Neptune asked, "What is missing?"
The left minister replied: "The contents of the national treasure jade box were stolen, but the other items were not lost."
"It's that. Are there any suspects?" Neptune had a complicated expression. He certainly knew what was inside.
He actually didn't care much about that thing. He was more concerned about the thief who had sneaked into Longgong City, and his family's safety could no longer be guaranteed.
If someone took the deadly drug and committed a crime in Dragon Palace City, the consequences would be disastrous.
The left minister hesitated: "The only outsiders who entered Ryugu Castle yesterday were Mr. Tatsuya and his group, so..."
"No, it can't be them." Neptune believed in his own and the princess's judgment. Zhang Daye and the others didn't look like people who would do such a thing. "Don't make this public yet. Investigate slowly."
The left minister nodded and said, "Yes, I have already installed a bomb in the jade box. If that national treasure thief dares to come again, he will be punished."
"Tell the guards to be alert, especially to protect the princess and the children." Neptune was worried about his left minister's judgment. The jade box had already been stolen, so why would he come again? Want to take a photo?
…
"Jinbei."
"Zhang Daye."
With the introduction of Princess Otohime, Zhang Da finally officially met the strongest fighting force of Fishman Island, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner.
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "This is my first time shaking hands with a fishman."
Jinbei asked kindly, "How did it feel?"
"Hmm..." Zhang Da also asked tentatively, "Can I touch your paw pad? In exchange, I can let you touch Tom's paw pad."
"Meow?" Tom protested.
"Hahaha, interesting guy."
Finally, a few of them sat down in the Mermaid Cafe and chatted. Today's signature collection came to a temporary end, and Princess Otohime was so happy that the smile on her face never disappeared.
"For what Makulo and his gang did, I apologize to you for scaring you." After hearing Zhang Daye mention Makulo and his gang, Jinbei bowed his head and apologized to Kami with a serious face.
"Eh? Don't be like that!" Camie waved her hands in panic, "I'm fine anyway. I admire your boss Jinbei very much. I heard that you became a Shichibukai in order to protect Fishman Island."
Jinbei shook his head and looked at Princess Otohime. "When I became a Shichibukai, I wanted to narrow the gap between Fishman Island and the World Government. I caused a lot of trouble for you before, so this is a little compensation. I was born in Fishman Street. Apart from my martial arts skills, I have no other skills. This is the only job I can do."
Princess Otohime said, "Please don't say that. You and Tiger are both working hard for the fishmen. We just choose different ways. "
At this time, a dignified black-haired mermaid brought coffee and various snacks: "Princess Otohime, Master Jinbei, please let me know if you need anything."
Princess Otohime smiled and said, "Xia Li-chan, you've worked hard."
Jinbei greeted, "Xia Li, how are you doing recently?"
"It's the princess who has worked hard. Thank you, Boss Jinbei, for your concern. The business of the store is pretty good." Xia Li responded one by one.
Shirley is the owner of this mermaid cafe and Arlong 's sister. She is also from Fishman Street, so Jinbei is very familiar with her. However, Shirley's attitude towards humans is completely different from Arlong's.
The main reason why Princess Otohime knew her was that Xia Li had a very mysterious profession called a fortune teller.
When she was 3 years old, she predicted the birth of the mermaid princess that the sea kings had been waiting for. When she was 4 years old, she predicted the arrival of the Great Pirate Era. Her predictions of various major events were 100% accurate.
However, it seems that he can only see some scenes in the future. Sometimes he can accurately judge the time and specific content of the scenes, and sometimes he cannot. This style of random prediction is very similar to that of the big toad immortal in the popular movie studio next door.
After Xia Li and Otohime Jinbei exchanged a few pleasantries, they looked at Zhang Tatsuya and said, "You are Mr. Tatsuya, the guest invited by the princess, right? It's very rude to stare at someone like that."
"Oh, sorry, I just remembered the rumors about Ms. Xia Li's prophecy." Zhang Da also explained.
Xia Li asked in surprise, "Have you heard of these too?"
Zhang Da also nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that Ms. Xia Li's divination has never been wrong. I am very curious."
"In that case, I happen to be in the mood today, so let's do some divination after a long absence." Xia Li turned around and went back to get the crystal ball.
Princess Otohime and Jinbe looked at each other. They were very interested in Shirley's prediction. After all, knowing information about the future would allow them to make more preparations.
Rui Mengmeng asked in surprise: "Boss, do you still believe in fortune-telling? Isn't that feudal superstition?"
“Pfft~” Zhang Da also laughed out loud, “It’s a very noble prophecy, but you made it look like a street scam. Anyway , they don’t charge money, so let’s just listen to it to relieve our boredom.”
"Oh." Rui Mengmeng thought about it and it made sense. It didn't cost any money anyway .
Altria has some faith in prophecies and the like. After all, there are also strange abilities in her world.
Shark Chili doesn't believe these, he is a materialist and he believes in science.
Tom believed all of this very much, especially when Charlie came out with the crystal ball. He remembered a witch, or an old witch, he had dreamed of before.
Tom suffered a lot in his dream at that time. Looking back, it seemed like it was real. After waking up, he even learned to fly on a broom.
Huh? Tom found the blind spot. Can I fly?
It seemed so, but it didn't matter. Tom gave up thinking the next second. The dessert from Fishman Island was really delicious. If he didn't take action, it would be eaten by Altria.
Charlie held a peach-colored cushion in both hands and placed it on the table. There was a crystal ball on the cushion.
Then she stretched out her hands and hovered above the crystal ball, staring intently into the inside of the crystal ball, as if she could see something. The whole process lasted for several minutes before she stopped.
Zhang Da also wanted to give her a bad review. Not only was there no picture, there was not even any lighting effect. Even when looking into the crystal ball, one could only see one's own reflection. It was not even as deceptive as the tarot cards of Supernova Hawkins.
However, considering her achievements, Zhang Da was willing to be patient and listen to her.
Shirley said, "I see that Mr. Tatsuya is surrounded by many powerful enemies, and your companions are also fighting many enemies."
Fighting is very normal, and Zhang Da can understand it. Maybe one day Tom or Shark Chili on his side will be targeted by someone, or they may accidentally provoke some big pirates, so a fight is possible.
There is no need to worry too much about being outnumbered. When Hawkeye was chasing Creek, he was fighting one against many.
"You have to be mentally prepared for what's coming next." Xia Li's tone became serious.
Zhang Da also guessed that she might have seen something bad, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Charlie looked at Tom with pity, and then said, "Your cat is dead."
Zhang Daye: ...
