Coral Hill, located in the southeast of Fishman Island, is home to a large number of shops and is one of the most prosperous areas in the country.
About a year ago, a new cafe opened in Coral Hill, and it quickly became famous and became a well-known landmark store throughout Fish-Man Island.
The reason is very simple. This cafe called Mermaid Cafe is just like its name. The waiters in the cafe are all young and beautiful mermaid ladies. This alone has brought a charm to this cafe.
unusually popular.
It was already very late when Brett came outside the cafe. The doors of the cafe were closed, but there was still light coming 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 the cafe, "Our 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 silence behind the door, and then the voice inside the door said, "Sorry, guest, I don't know anyone called 'I'. If you don't leave, I will call the guard."
"Guest, if you keep pestering me, I'm really going to call the guards. The Brett I know is an arrogant and arrogant bastard who doesn't listen to anyone's advice. He has gone to nowhere in the sea."
Is it necessary to go so far?
Brett was a little helpless. Did the separation four years ago still bother her now?
"Yes, but now the big bastard is back, so, Miss Charlie, can you open the door?"
Finally, after another period of silence, with a squeaking sound, the door of the cafe was opened.
The beautiful girl glanced up and down Bright's body. She had pale skin similar to Bright's, short black hair, a delicate face with a cold charm, and a dark blue fish tail going down from her slender waist.
The girl's name is Charlie, and she is Brett's true childhood sweetheart.
She is Aaron's sister, so she and Brett have been playing together since childhood.
"I thought you died outside."
Charlie's voice was thorny.
She floats in mid-air.
It's not that Charlie can fly, mainly because it's not as convenient for mermaids to move on land as it is for fishmen.
They usually move by placing a bubble on their body that floats in the air.
Now Charlie wears a bubble swimming ring around her waist.
"Almost, but I'm lucky." Brett said with a smile.
The time when we faced Kizaru and the prison break in Punk Hassad could only be described as thrilling.
"snort."
Charlie snorted softly, but her sharp eyes softened slightly, and she turned around and drifted into the cafe.
Brett followed and closed the door.
The tables and chairs in the cafe have been tidied up and placed in an orderly manner. The space is not too wide and does not seem crowded. Coupled with some exquisite decorations, it looks elegant 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 cup of steaming coffee in front of Brett.
"So, Brett," she sat across from Brett, tapping the slender index finger of her right hand gently on the table, "How does it feel to go out on a sea adventure without any care, and then be thrown into a prison?"
Brett picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was mellow and fragrant, and tasted very good.
Putting down his coffee, he corrected, "It's not a prison, it's a naval research base."
Charlie rolled her eyes.
The girl is obviously not as cold as she appears.
"But speaking of this trip," Brett sighed, "I lost a lot, but also gained a lot."
"Charlie." He looked at the girl, "Want to hear? The story of the past four years."
The girl leaned forward, put her right elbow on the table, and supported her chin with her hand, "The night is still very long."
So Brett told Charlie the story of how he went to sea with Brother Tiger and the others despite her objections four years ago.
Their adventures on the sea, the scenery they saw, and the people they met.
From the time they went out to sea, to meeting the girl named Kerla, to Tiger's death, and then Bright was captured and sent to Punk Hassad, followed by the prison break operation and Bega Punk's deal, and finally killed
The navy fled back to Fishman Island.
All the laughter and tears were shared with the girl in front of her.
It was already late at night when the story was told.
Brett yawned, and then he turned around and saw that Charlie's eyes were sparkling.
"Charlie..."
"Idiot, I've told you before, the human world is very dangerous." Charlie wiped her eyes casually.
Has this idiot experienced so much pain and panic?
Brett smiled and said, "So I won't be leaving for a short time after I come back this time. Boss Charlie, please take good care of me."
"It just so happens that the kitchen is still short of a dishwasher. You should be able to do the job." A smile appeared on Charlie's face.
When the girl who usually has a cold expression smiles, she becomes even more touching.
Brett couldn't help but smile and said, "That's too much. I thought I could have free food and accommodation, but forget it."
Then he said seriously, "Let's talk about Brother Aaron next."
"..."
Speaking of her half-brother, Charlie was silent for a moment. She had been living with Aaron since she was three years old. "Did you also know? That idiot wants to form a pirate group to take revenge on mankind."
Bright nodded, "Brother Jinbei wants me to let him give up this idea, but -"
"Words have no effect on him anymore."
Charlie said coldly, "You can use more drastic measures, 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."
Charlie said, "Although the life and death of human beings has nothing to do with us, that idiot will eventually suffer the consequences, right?"
If anyone else were to say this, Bright would be a little surprised, because this is indeed the fate of Aaron in the original work.
But Charlie is different.
"Is it a prophecy?"
Brett asked.
Charlie is a famous prophet on Fish-Man Island, and her predictions are always accurate.
As early as fifteen years ago, when she was only three years old, she had already predicted the birth of a fish-man princess to the Pirate King.
Brett, who was two years old at the time, happened to witness that scene.
"There is no need to predict this kind of thing. You can just guess it. That idiot Aaron is even more radical than before."
Charlie said firmly, "What good things can he do in the human world? Once things are revealed, what good consequences will humans have for him?"
"Even if you do Bright, you are saving him. After all, he is my brother. I don't want to see him suffer bad luck."
Brett chuckled.
It felt like it was all upright all of a sudden.
"I'll stop him."
He nodded.
Then Brett hesitated a little, and finally said, "There's one more question, Charlie, I'm a little hesitant."
"I see."
Charlie nodded understandingly, "It's been a long time since I came here to do divination."
"Divination?"
Brett was slightly startled, then nodded, "Okay."
Charlie floated up, took out her divination crystal ball from behind the counter and placed it on the table.
The girl took a deep breath and opened her hands to hold the crystal ball.
Her eyes became a little hollow.
Brett knew that she had entered a divination state.
Although she couldn't see anything on the crystal ball, Charlie must have seen the future.
Brett noticed, and a smile appeared on Charlie's face.
Have you seen any interesting future?
Bright's conjecture.
Charlie's eyes regained their vitality, she sat back on the chair, her moving eyes raised slightly, looking directly into Brett's eyes,
She said, "There is no need to be entangled and hesitant. Just do what you want to do, Brett. I see a very beautiful future." She emphasized, "A beautiful future brought about by you."
Brett was stunned for a moment, and then a smile began to bloom on his face, "Is that so?"
Charlie'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 Charlie saw was only a fragment, a better future would come, but it was unclear what it would be like after that.
But at least it shows that your actions will bring about good development, right?
In this case, there is really no need to worry.
Just like Charlie said, just do what you want to do, there's no need to shrink back.
What do you want to do?
Probably because he has become stronger.
As long as I can have the strength of the Pirate Emperor, all problems will be non-problems.
Almost no one can threaten his safety, and Fish-Man Island can also be protected. Even the navy that killed Brother Tiger, it is not difficult for him to seek revenge.
But for me now, it is not difficult to have that kind of strength.
Brett is very confident.
As long as you become stronger than anyone else, even if the future really goes in a bad direction, you can have the power to reverse everything, right?
Let that wonderful future really come and not be fleeting.
Brett made up his mind.
Next, work hard to become stronger.
It’s no longer just enough to save your life, you have to work hard to be the strongest.
As for the rest, just adapt to circumstances, I don’t know what to do at the moment.
"It seems you have nothing to worry about anymore."
Charlie floated up and yawned slightly, "It's already very late. Let's rest here tonight. There is an empty guest room upstairs."
"Um."
Brett nodded.
There was no special reaction.
Following Charlie to the second floor of the cafe, she opened the door to the guest room, "Everything is complete, and the waiters will occasionally rest here."
She turned to look at Brett, "Don't do anything weird."
Brett rolled his eyes, "Who would?"
"snort."
The girl hummed softly and floated to the other end of the corridor, her bedroom.
When she was holding the door handle of the apartment, she heard Brett's voice from behind, "Anyway, I'm back, Charlie."
Charlie paused and turned around. Under the light of the corridor, Brett could clearly see the gentle smile on the girl's face.
