It was broad daylight when Brett woke up.

Light shone in from the window of the room, and he stared at the ceiling with his eyes open. He slumped on the bed like a corpse for a while before sitting lazily and stretching.

"I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."

He murmured to himself.

Every day in the Punk Hassad base was filled with fear, and I didn't dare to feel at ease even when I slept.

Get out of bed, get dressed, and make the bed.

Next it’s time to find Aaron.

Brett opened the door.

Then I saw a basket outside the door, which contained neatly folded clothes.

“It’s so thoughtful.”

Brett muttered with some sigh.

They are still childhood sweethearts.

After going back to the room and changing out of his prison uniform, Brett put on the clothes Charlie had prepared for him.

It's an ordinary combination of T-shirt and trousers, but the size is just right and suits Brett's tall and muscular body. The back has been cut in advance to allow the dorsal fin to stick out.

After putting on new clothes, Brett crumpled his prison uniform into a ball and walked downstairs.

The cafe was already bustling with people.

The empty seats last night were now filled, with mermaids and fish people gathering together.

Several mermaid girls in maid outfits shuttled through the hall, answering the guests' calls with smiles on their faces.

Brett took a look at the mermaid girls, and each one of them looked quite outstanding. No wonder the business here is so good.

Charlie was sitting behind the counter, immersed in calculations.

Brett went down the stairs and walked over, "Where is the trash can?"

Charlie raised her head, glanced at Brett, and nodded slightly, "It looks like a good fit."

"Because you have good taste." Brett said with a smile.

"certainly."

Charlie lowered her head to write calculations again, "Throw the garbage in the trash can in the kitchen. By the way, I left a piece of food for you. Eat it and then go find Aaron."

"Um."

Brett turned around and entered the kitchen, and saw a mermaid lady face to face. She looked to be over thirty years old, and her chubby eyebrows and smiling eyes made her look very friendly.

Wearing a white chef's uniform, an apron, and a chef's hat, he was humming and cooking.

It seems he is the chef of this cafe.

"Oh! You are the Brother Bright that Charlie mentioned, right?"

The chef lady turned around and greeted Brett with a smile, "I am Miriam, the chef of this cafe."

She took the time to pick up a dinner plate from one side and handed it to Brett, "Charlie asked me to prepare breakfast for you."

The food on the plate is very rich, and the meat and vegetables are well matched.

Brett took it and said, "Thank you, Miss Miriam."

He did not sit down immediately, but threw the prison uniform he changed into into the trash can, then found an empty seat to sit down and start eating breakfast.

“So delicious!”

He said in admiration.

At least it's more delicious than the fishman street boss's favorite food.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Miriam wiped her hands on her apron with a smile, "This is the first time, Brother Bright, Charlie lets a man spend the night here. She usually ignores everyone."

Brett said with a smile, "Charlie's personality is indeed relatively cold, but once you get to know her, you will know that she is actually very gentle."

"Eh~ Very gentle?" the cook said in a longer tone, "But I rarely see Charlie being gentle to anyone."

Brett felt a little embarrassed, so he just buried his head in the food.

Miriam didn't say much, she just smiled and continued cooking.

After finishing breakfast in two or three mouths, Brett washed the tableware and turned around and left the kitchen.

He came to the counter and said, "Then I'll leave first."

"Wait a moment,"

Charlie stopped him, raised her hand and picked up a key, "Key, your key has been long gone, right?"

Brett scratched his head and said, "I will give you the new key later."

The door has been torn off, what's the use of the key?

Charlie was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and took back the key, "Someone has already done the work of washing the dishes, but there are always people making trouble in the store. If you don't mind, I can leave the security work to you."

"Then please give me more advice, Boss Xia Li."

Brett smiled and agreed.

Next, I will put more energy into learning Haki with Brother Jinbei, but I also need to earn some living expenses, otherwise I won't even be able to pay back the 100,000 beli I borrowed from Brother Jinbei.

Security is security.

It's better than hanging it on the wall.

"I like this title,"

Charlie nodded slightly, "Remember to keep it in the future, otherwise I will deduct your salary."

"That's really scary."

Brett laughed and said, "Anyway, see you later."

"Bon Voyage."

After leaving the Mermaid Cafe, Bright moved directly towards the Mermaid Street, and then it was time to talk to Brother Aaron.

Fishman Island is not too big, but it takes a while to get to Fishman Street from Coral Hill.

It was already noon when Brett returned to Fishman Street, so he went directly to Aaron's residence without delay.

The door of this small building was closed, and Bright could feel that there were a large number of people gathered inside.

Although Bright's ability did not allow him to identify the differences between different creatures in detail, he guessed that Aaron had not left.

Go forward and push the door open.

Although the door was locked from the inside, luckily Brett was strong enough to push open the two doors.

The loud cracking sound of the door lock woke up many murlocs in the house who were lying on the ground after a night of partying last night.

They rubbed their sleepy eyes and sat up, then saw Bright walking in with the light behind him.

"..."

Facing the light, the fishmen squinted and finally saw Bright's appearance clearly.

"Bright? What else are you doing here?"

A fish-man stood up unsteadily and said sternly, "Brother Aaron said he didn't want to see you!"

"That's right," another fishman said sarcastically, "just go lick human butts with Jinbei. After all, aren't you also a bastard with human blood——"

He was speechless.

Brett appeared in front of him instantly like a phantom, his broad hands directly grabbing his mouth.

"One thing I have understood since I was a child is that people who do not respect me do not deserve my respect, even if they are my compatriots."

With a casual flick, the fish-man crashed through the wall of the house like a cannonball and flew outside the house.

The fish people, who were still tired due to hangover, woke up instantly.

Brett stepped on the floor with his right foot, creating a depression in the ground. The whole house was shaking for a moment. He said calmly, "I respect Brother Aaron very much, but that doesn't mean that you can be rude to me."

Only then did the fish people remember.

A few years ago, Bright was already a well-known violent person before he left Fishman Street. Anyone who dared to verbally insult him would be treated with merciless violence by him.

And the fish people who were once members of the Sun Pirates will never forget that even when they were in the Sun Pirates, Bright was the most violent fighter. They just cursed the idiot in their hearts and mocked his stance.

That's all, you actually dare to scold Bright. Isn't this looking for death?

For a moment, the fish people were silent.

"Okay, where is Brother Aaron?" Brett asked.

"I'm right here!"
