Why are you already putting on makeup?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyarly curled her lip, didn't say anything more, lay back leisurely on her bed, and picked up the pipe by the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam Shyarly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Miss Mina!! Thank goodness, you're alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was captured by human traffickers! But I was lucky; Rear Admiral Karl saved me, and then I came back with them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rear Admiral Karl? Wait, are you saying his name is Karl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne seemed to recall that the handsome guest from earlier was indeed named Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s good that you’re back. Don’t go running around everywhere again, you hear me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Miss Mina nodded vigorously: \"Of course, I will never leave Fish-Man Island again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhh! Miss Miss Mina! You’re back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream rang out, and the mermaids working at the Mermaid Cafe all crowded around...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Miss Miss Mina was \"interrogated\" for a good while, the sisters finally felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermaids looked at each other, then swarmed into the shop, nearly scaring Karl out of his wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, two, three, four... No, there are too many; he’s still young, he can’t handle this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Rear Admiral Karl, thank you for saving our Miss Miss Mina!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, I am a member of the Navy; this is what I should do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enthusiastic mermaids immediately surrounded Karl, and Ain, who had been sitting across from him, was squeezed five meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ain: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, what kind of behavior is this? Other guests are still waiting for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Madam Shyarly’s reprimand, the mermaids finally calmed down and reluctantly left Karl’s table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who would bring slaughter and death to Fish-Man Island in the prophecy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Karl’s gaze about to shift toward her, Shyarly quickly covered her mouth and hid in the shadows, panting incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, she finally calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I must tell King Neptune as soon as possible and drive this man out of Fish-Man Island!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Karl being entangled by the staff, Shyarly left the Mermaid Cafe without a sound...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Rear Admiral Karl, the sisters might have been a bit too enthusiastic after learning you saved me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Miss Mina nodded vigorously: \"Of course, right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl scratched his head: \"Wait a moment, let’s at least finish our coffee before we go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl shrugged and spread his hands: \"My fault?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph~ I can't be bothered with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne smiled: \"You're welcome. By the way, guests, there will be a dance performance later! Don't miss it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl’s eyes lit up. There were exciting programs; it was definitely worth the trip! So, Karl agreed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Karl reluctantly left the Mermaid Cafe and said goodbye to the two busty mermaids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care, guests, come back again next time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyarly, are you saying that the Navy who came to Fish-Man Island today will cause a massacre?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Shyarly nodded seriously: \"Yes, King Neptune, my prophecy cannot be wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune’s eyebrows knitted together, he rubbed his temples in distress and let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I naturally understand that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Mermaid Cafe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ain stood beside Karl with her arms crossed, her whole body filled with low pressure; she had never been so speechless in her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I am gathering intelligence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Ain, didn't you want to buy clothes? Let’s go, let’s go now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just Move Move Like that, under Miss Miss Mina’s guidance, Karl and Ain basically toured the entire Fish-Man Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without activating Observation Haki, Karl could feel that someone had been watching them from the shadows, especially him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the vigilance on Fish-Man Island this high now? Targeted on the first day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Miss Mina, it’s getting late, you should go back and rest too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand: \"Don’t worry, we aren't children.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl said solemnly: \"That goes without saying, after all, you’re the only friend we have on Fish-Man Island!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your feeling is correct. To be precise, from the moment we arrived on Fish-Man Island, we have been under surveillance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ain covered her mouth in surprise: \"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl shook his head: \"Never mind them! If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Let’s go back first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1315,"2026-06-16T20:20:51.518Z","2026-06-16T20:55:40.462Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c984c5a528bbf9b2bc736704c7b6aa59b7dc723f955091dc182c2763b0550a4d","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-89","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-87",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
