Chapter 88

"Daphne, just call me Daphne!"

Ain looked coldly at Daphne, then nudged Karl’s waist calmly: "Karl, didn't you come here to drink coffee?"

Seeing this, Daphne winked at Karl secretly and then left, sitting inside her bubble.

"Tsk tsk..." Karl shook his head quite regretfully, his expression full of pity.

On the other side of the Mermaid Cafe, Shyarly was struggling with whether or not to tell the other residents of Fish-Man Island about her prophecy, as every one of her prophecies was a vision of an unfortunate future.

Once this news got out, it would likely trigger panic, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

"Daphne, it’s not time for the performance yet, is it? Why are you already putting on makeup?"

Daphne looked up and saw Madam Shyarly, then quickly said: "Good morning, Madam Shyarly. A handsome guest came outside, and I wanted to dress up a bit!"

Shyarly curled her lip, didn't say anything more, lay back leisurely on her bed, and picked up the pipe by the table.

"Madam Shyarly!"

"Miss Miss Mina!! Thank goodness, you're alright!"

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

"I was captured by human traffickers! But I was lucky; Rear Admiral Karl saved me, and then I came back with them!"

"Rear Admiral Karl? Wait, are you saying his name is Karl?"

Daphne seemed to recall that the handsome guest from earlier was indeed named Karl.

"It’s good that you’re back. Don’t go running around everywhere again, you hear me?"

Miss Miss Mina nodded vigorously: "Of course, I will never leave Fish-Man Island again!"

"Ahhhhh! Miss Miss Mina! You’re back!"

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

After Miss Miss Mina was "interrogated" for a good while, the sisters finally felt relieved.

"By the way, that handsome guest outside seems to be named Karl. Hmm, he’s also wearing a Navy uniform. He must be the Rear Admiral Karl who saved you!"

Miss Miss 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 man!"

The mermaids looked at each other, then swarmed into the shop, nearly scaring Karl out of his wits.

One, two, three, four... No, there are too many; he’s still young, he can’t handle this!

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

"Ahem, I am a member of the Navy; this is what I should do!"

The enthusiastic mermaids immediately surrounded Karl, and Ain, who had been sitting across from him, was squeezed five meters away.

Ain: ???

"Enough, what kind of behavior is this? Other guests are still waiting for you!"

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

At this moment, Karl’s face was covered in lipstick marks, and he was panting continuously; he had almost been suffocated, but considering how fragrant and soft they were, Karl decided not to pursue who was responsible.

"It’s him!"

Shyarly’s pupils shook again, and she looked at Karl in disbelief. His face gradually matched the Navy officer in her crystal ball; the man who would bring catastrophe to Fish-Man Island was him!

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

Seeing Karl’s gaze about to shift toward her, Shyarly quickly covered her mouth and hid in the shadows, panting incessantly.

After a long while, she finally calmed down.

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

Taking advantage of Karl being entangled by the staff, Shyarly left the Mermaid Cafe without a sound...

Ten minutes later.

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

Karl took the handkerchief Miss Miss Mina handed him and wiped his face: "I understand, I understand. By the way, do you have time later? How about taking us on a tour of the Dragon Palace Kingdom?"

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

Karl scratched his head: "Wait a moment, let’s at least finish our coffee before we go!"

At this time, an annoyed Ain sat back down across from Karl and said with a half-smile: "Tsk tsk tsk, you’re really popular, aren't you!"

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

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

Daphne, with her blue hair, brought coffee to Karl’s table and handed the cups to Karl and Ain respectively: "Guests, here 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 definitely worth the trip! So, Karl agreed immediately.

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

"Take care, guests, come back again next time!"

Dragon Palace.

"Shyarly, are you saying that the Navy who 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 knitted together, 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 that!"

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

Karl shook his head: "Wrong, completely wrong. We’re in an unfamiliar place; we can’t just go charging around Move Move Like greenhorns, can we?"

"So, I am gathering intelligence!"

Just as Ain was about to speak, Miss Miss Mina, wearing a bubble swim ring, said: "It’s still early, how about I take you for a walk?"

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

Just Move Move Like that, under Miss Miss Mina’s guidance, Karl and Ain basically toured the entire Fish-Man Island.

The Marlin Shopping Center, the Fish-Man Culture Hall, Fish-Man Beverly Hills, Mermaid Bay, and the place where Queen Otohime was laid to rest—Gyoncorde Plaza.

Even without activating Observation Haki, Karl could feel that someone had been watching them from the shadows, especially him.

Is the vigilance on Fish-Man Island this high now? Targeted on the first day?

But Karl thought about it, and this might be a good thing. If he didn't cause a stir, how would Hody Jones, hiding in the shadows, come out to confront him?

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

"What about you guys?"

Karl waved his hand: "Don’t worry, we aren't children."

Miss Miss Mina thought that was true, and pointing to the Mermaid Cafe not far away, she said: "I work at the Mermaid Cafe. If you need my help, just come and find me!"

Karl said solemnly: "That goes without saying, after all, you’re the only friend we have on Fish-Man Island!"

After Miss Miss Mina left, Ain’s smile gradually faded. She looked around vigilantly and whispered: "Why do I always feel Move Move Like someone is spying on us?"

"Your feeling is correct. To be precise, from the moment we arrived on Fish-Man Island, we have been under surveillance."

Ain covered her mouth in surprise: "Who?"

Karl shook his head: "Never mind them! If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Let’s go back first!"
