The Glory of the Pirates

Chapter 20 Charlie and the Prophecy
Coral Hill, located in the southeast of Murloc Island, is one of the most prosperous areas in the country with a large number of shops.

About a year ago, Coral Hill opened a new cafe, and quickly became famous, becoming a well-known landmark shop in the entire Fishman Island.

The reason is very simple, this coffee shop called Mermaid Cafe is just like its name, the waiters in the coffee shop are all young and beautiful mermaid ladies, this alone has brought a lot to this cafe. Unusual popularity.

It was already very late when Brett came outside the cafe. The doors of the cafe had already been closed, but there was still light from the windows, so there should still be people inside.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the cafe.

Soon, a familiar voice came from inside the cafe, "This shop is closed, please come back tomorrow."

Brett felt that his troubled mood had calmed down. He smiled and said, "Charlie, it's me."

There was a silence behind the door, and then the voice inside the door said, "Sorry, guest, I don't know someone called 'I', if you don't leave, I'm going to call the guards."

The corner of Brett's eyes twitched, "It's me, Brett, I'm back, Charlie."

"Guest, if you keep pestering me, I'll really call the guards. The Brett I know is an arrogant bastard who listens to everyone's advice. I don't know where he has gone to the sea."

Is it necessary to say so much?

Brett felt a little helpless. Did the parting four years ago still make her worry about it?
"Yes, but now the big bastard is back, so, Miss Charlie, can you open the door?"

Finally, after another period of silence, the door of the cafe was opened with a creak.

The beautiful young girl glanced up and down on Brett. She had pale skin similar to Brett's, short black hair, and a delicate and glamorous face. Down her slender waist was a dark blue fishtail.

The girl's name is Xia Li, and she is Brett's real childhood sweetheart.

She is Aaron's younger sister, so she and Brett have grown up playing together since childhood.

"I thought you died outside."

Charlie's voice was stinging.

She floats in mid-air.

It's not that Xia Li can fly, the main reason is that it is not as convenient for mermaids to move on land as it is for murlocs.

They usually move by placing a bubble on their body that floats in the air.

Now Xia Li has a bubble swimming ring around her waist.

"It's close, but luck is good." Brett said with a smile.

At that time, when facing the yellow ape and the prison escape in Punk Hazard, it can only be described as thrilling.

"Humph."

Xia Li snorted softly, but her sharp eyes softened a little, she turned around and floated into the cafe.

Brett followed and closed the door behind him.

The tables and chairs in the cafe have been tidied up and arranged in a well-proportioned manner. The space is not too wide and does not look crowded. Coupled with some exquisite decorations, it looks full of elegance at first glance.

"It's really good."

Brett pulled out a chair and sat down, looking around.

Charlie went behind the counter, and quickly placed a steaming cup of coffee in front of Brett.

"So, Brett," she sat across from Brett, tapping the table with the slender index finger of her right hand, "How does it feel to be thrown into prison after going out to sea regardless of the adventure?"

Brett picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was rich and fragrant, and tasted very good.

After putting down the coffee, he corrected, "It's not a prison, it's a naval research base."

Charlie rolled her eyes.

The girl is obviously not as indifferent as she shows.

"But speaking of this trip," Brett sighed, "I have lost a lot, but I have also gained a lot."

"Xia Li." He looked at the girl, "Want to hear it? The story of the past four years."

The girl leaned forward, with her right elbow resting on the table and her chin resting on her hand, "The night is still long."

So Brett told Charlie the story of going to sea with Big Brother Tiger and the others four years ago despite her objection.

Their adventures at sea, the scenery they saw, and the people they met.

From when they went out to sea, to meeting a girl named Kerla, to Tiger's death, then Brett was captured and sent to Punk Hazard, followed by the prison break operation and the deal with Vega Punk, and finally killed The navy fled back to Fishman Island.

All the laughter and tears were shared with the girl in front of me.

It was midnight by the time the story was told.

Brett yawned, and then he turned around and saw that there was something sparkling in Charlie's eyes.

"Charlie..."

"Idiot, I have already said it, the human world is very dangerous." Xia Li wiped her eyes inadvertently.

Did this idiot go through so much pain and panic?

Brett smiled and said, "So I won't be leaving for a short time when I come back this time. Boss Xia Li, please take care of me."

"Exactly, there is still a lack of a dishwashing person in the back kitchen, you should be able to do it." A smile appeared on Xia Li's face.

When the normally indifferent girl smiled, it was even more touching.

Brett couldn't help but smiled and said, "It's too much, I thought I could get my room and board for free, but forget it."

Then he said seriously, "Let's talk about Brother Aaron next."

"..."

Speaking of the half-brother, Xia Li was silent for a moment. She has lived with Aaron since she was three years old, "Do you know that too? That idiot wants to form a pirate group to take revenge on humans."

Bright nodded, "Brother Jinbe wants me to get him to dismiss this idea, but—"

"Words don't work for him anymore."

Xia Li said coldly, "Although you can use a more drastic method, Brett."

Brett raised an eyebrow.

Is this what a sister should say?
"If Aaron is allowed to do whatever he wants, many innocent humans will die because of him."

Xia Li said, "Although the life and death of human beings has nothing to do with us, but that idiot will eventually suffer the consequences of himself, right?"

If someone else said this, Brett would be a little surprised, because Aaron's fate in the original work is indeed like this.

But Charlie was different.

"Is it a prophecy?"

asked Brett.

Xia Li is a well-known seer on Fishman Island, and her predictions are always accurate.

As early as 15 years ago, when she was only three years old, she had already prophesied to One Piece the birth of the Murloc Princess.

Brett, who was two years old at the time, happened to witness that scene.

"There is no need to predict this kind of thing, and you can guess it. Aaron, that idiot, is more radical than before."

Xia Li said firmly, "What good can he do when he goes to the human world? Once the matter is revealed, what good will the human beings do to him?"

"Just be Brett. You're saving him. He's my brother after all. I don't want to see him suffer."

Brett chuckled.

It felt brighter all of a sudden.

"I'll stop him."

He nodded.

Then Brett hesitated, and finally he said, "There is one more question, Charlie, I am hesitant."

"I see."

Xia Li nodded knowingly, "It's been a long time since I've come to divination."

"Divination?"

Brett was slightly taken aback, then he nodded, "Okay."

Xia Li floated up, took out her divination crystal ball from behind the counter and put it on the table.

The girl took a deep breath, and held the crystal ball with open arms.

Her eyes became a little hollow.

Brett knew that she had entered a state of divination.

Although she couldn't see anything on the crystal ball, Xia Li must have seen the future.

Brett noticed, and a smile crept across Charlie's face.

Have you seen any interesting future?

Bright guessed.

Charlie's eyes recovered, she sat back on the chair, raised her moving eyes slightly, and looked directly at Brett's eyes,

She said, "Don't worry about it, just do what you want, Brett, I see a wonderful future." She emphasized, "A wonderful future brought about by you."

Brett froze for a moment, then a smile began to bloom on his face, "Is that so?"

Xia Li's prophecy cannot specify a specific time, but the future she sees will definitely happen.

She said that if there is a bright future, there will be a bright future.

Although the future that Xia Li saw was only a fragment, and a bright future will come, it is not clear what will happen after that.

But at least, it also shows that his actions will bring good development, right?

If that's the case, there's really no need to worry.

Just like Xia Li said, just do what you want, there is no need to shrink back.

What do you want to do?
Probably just got stronger.

As long as he can have the strength of the Pirate Emperor, all problems will not be a problem.

Almost no one can threaten their own safety, and the Murloc Island can be protected, and even the navy that killed Big Brother Tiger, it is not difficult for him to take revenge.

But for the current self, it is not difficult to have that kind of strength.

Brett is confident.

As long as he becomes stronger than anyone else, even if the future really develops in a bad direction, he can have the power to reverse everything, right?
Let that wonderful future actually come, and not be fleeting.

Brett made up his mind.

Next, work hard to get stronger.

It is no longer just enough to save your life, but to work hard towards the strongest.

As for the others, just adapt to the circumstances, and I don't know what to do for the time being.

"It seems that you have nothing to worry about."

Xia Li floated up, and yawned a little, "It's getting late, let's rest here tonight, there are vacant guest rooms upstairs."

"Ah."

Bright nodded.

There was no special reaction.

Following Xia Li to the second floor of the cafe, she opened the door of the guest room, "Everything is complete, and the waiters occasionally rest here,"

She turned to look at Brett, "Don't do anything weird."

Brett rolled his eyes, "Who would?"

"Humph."

The girl snorted softly, and floated to the other end of the corridor, her bedroom.

While holding the doorknob, she heard Brett's voice behind her, "Anyway, I'm back, Charlie."

Charlie paused, then turned around, under the light of the corridor, Brett could clearly see the gentle smile on the girl's face,

"Welcome back, Brett."
