Chapter 148: Mermaid Cafe

"Daphne, it's not time for the performance yet, right? You're starting to put on makeup already?"

Daphne looked up and saw it was Madam Shyarly, and hurriedly said: "Good morning, Madam Shyarly. A handsome guest came outside, and I want to dress up a bit better!"

Shyarly pouted, didn't say much more, lay down leisurely on the bed, and took the pipe from the side of the table.

"Madam Shyarly!"

"Mina!! That's great, you're okay!"

Before Shyarly could speak, Daphne, who was putting on makeup nearby, hugged Mina with joy and asked with tears in her eyes: "Mina, where on earth did you go? We were worried to death!"

"I was captured by human traffickers! But I was very lucky, I was saved by Rear Admiral Karl, and then I followed them back!"

"Rear Admiral Karl? Wait, you mean his name is Karl?"

Daphne seemed to remember that the handsome guest just now seemed to be named Karl.

"It's good that you're back, don't run around everywhere in the future, do you hear me?"

Mina nodded vigorously: "That's for sure, I will never leave Fish-Man Island even half a step in the future!"

"Ahhhhh! Mina! You're back!"

A scream rang out, and the mermaids working at the Mermaid Cafe all gathered around...

Mina was given a good "interrogation" before the sisters finally felt relieved.

"By the way, that handsome guest outside seems to be named Karl, um, he's also wearing a naval uniform; he's the Rear Admiral Karl who saved you, right!"

Mina's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! Rear Admiral Karl is especially handsome; it's said he's known as the world's number one handsome guy!"

The mermaids looked at each other, then rushed into the shop in a swarm, almost scaring Karl into wetting himself.

1, 2, 3, 4... no, there were too many; he was still young, he couldn't handle this!

"Thank you, Rear Admiral Karl, thank you for saving our Mina!"

"Cough, cough, I am a member of the Navy, this is what I should do!"

The enthusiastic mermaids immediately surrounded Karl, and Ain, who had originally sat opposite Karl, was squeezed five meters away.

Ain:???

"Enough, what does this noisy behavior look like? Other guests are still waiting for you!"

After Madam Shyarly's reprimand, the mermaids finally calmed down and left Karl's seat reluctantly.

At this moment, Karl's face was covered in lipstick marks, and he was panting continuously; he had almost been suffocated just now, but considering it was fragrant and soft, Karl decided not to pursue whose responsibility it was.

"It's him!"

Shyarly's pupils shook again, and she looked at Karl in disbelief; his face gradually matched the one in the crystal ball, the man who would bring catastrophe to Fish-Man Island was him!

The man who brought slaughter and death to Fish-Man Island in the prophecy!

Seeing Karl's gaze about to shift to her, Shyarly hurriedly covered her mouth and hid in the dark, panting incessantly.

After a long time, she finally calmed down.

"No, I must tell King Neptune this news as soon as possible and drive this man out of Fish-Man Island!"

Taking advantage of Karl being entangled by the shop assistants, Shyarly left the Mermaid Cafe calmly...

Ten minutes later.

"Sorry, Rear Admiral Karl, the sisters might have been a bit too enthusiastic after knowing you saved me."

Karl took the handkerchief handed over by Mina to wipe his face: "Understood, understood. By the way, do you have time later? How about taking us to stroll around the Ryugu Kingdom?"

Mina nodded vigorously: "Of course, right now?"

Karl scratched his head: "Wait a moment, let's at least drink a cup of coffee before leaving!"

At this time, Ain, who looked unhappy, sat opposite Karl again and said with a half-smile: "Tsk tsk tsk, you're really popular!"

Karl shrugged and spread his hands: "My fault?"

"Hmph~ I can't be bothered with you!"

Daphne, the blue-haired girl, brought coffee to Karl's seat and handed the coffee to Karl and Ain respectively: "Guests, this is your coffee, please enjoy!"

"Thank you!"

Daphne smiled: "You're welcome. By the way, guests, there will be a dance performance later! Don't miss it!"

Karl's eyes lit up; there were exciting programs, it was truly worth coming! So Karl agreed immediately.

An hour later, Karl left the Mermaid Cafe reluctantly and said goodbye to the two busty mermaids.

"Walk slowly! Guests, come again next time!"

Ryugu Palace.

"Shyarly, are you saying that the Navy that came to Fish-Man Island today will cause a massacre?"

Madam Shyarly nodded seriously: "Yes, King Neptune, my prophecy cannot be wrong!"

Neptune's eyebrows furrowed into a ball, he rubbed his temples in distress, and let out a long sigh.

"I understand, I will notify Jinbe immediately to discuss countermeasures with him. Do not reveal this news to the public for now, so as not to cause panic."

"I naturally understand this!"

Outside the Mermaid Cafe.

Ain stood beside Karl with her arms crossed, her whole body filled with low pressure; she had never been so speechless in her life.

"Didn't you say you came to Fish-Man Island to carry out a mission? I think you came here just for this, right?"

Karl shook his head: "Wrong, completely wrong. We're in an unfamiliar place, we can't just run around like greenhorns, right?"

"So, I am investigating intelligence!"

Just as Ain wanted to speak, Mina, wearing a bubble swimming ring, said: "It's still early, why don't I take you guys for a stroll?"

"Well, Ain, didn't you want to buy clothes? Let's go, let's go now!"

Just like that, under Mina's leadership, Karl and Ain basically strolled through the whole of Fish-Man Island.

The Marlin Shopping Center, the Fish-Man Cultural Hall, the Fish-Man Beverly Hills, the Mermaid Bay, and the place where Queen Otohime was buried--Gyoncorde Plaza.

Even without activating Observation Haki, Karl could feel that someone had been staring at them in the dark, especially at him.

Is the vigilance of Fish-Man Island so high now? Being targeted on the first day?

However, Karl thought about it, this might be a good thing. If he didn't make some noise, how could Hody Jones, hiding in the dark, come out to attack?

"Mina, it's getting late, you should go back and rest too!"

"What about you guys?"

Karl waved his hand: "Don't worry, we're not children."

Mina thought it was true, and pointed to the Mermaid Cafe not far away: "I work at the Mermaid Cafe, if you need my help, just come find me!"

Karl said seriously: "That's for sure, after all, on Fish-Man Island, you are the only friend we have!"

After Mina left, Ain's smile gradually faded, she looked around vigilantly and whispered: "Why do I always feel like someone is spying on us?"

"Your feeling is correct. To be precise, from the moment we came to Fish-Man Island, we have been spied on."

Ain covered her mouth in surprise: "Who?"

Karl shook his head: "Who cares! If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Let's go back first!" ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
