Chapter 73: Xia Li's Prophecy
Darren moved quickly.
After leaving the G5 base, he first came to an underground world exchange, bought a small submarine and a permanent pointer, and then set off in the direction of Fishman Island.
As for the submarine's engine, he dismantled it directly with his bare hands.
The effect of the high-intensity magnetic field will cause damage to the engine, so it is better to dismantle it directly, which can also reduce the weight of the submarine and increase the speed.
"The scenery is quite good at 10,000 meters deep in the sea."
Through the periscope, Darren observed the scene in the 10,000-meter deep sea.
With the protection of the submarine, he has dived deep to the bottom of the sea and can see the mottled crust.
The crust is full of cracks in all directions, and the deep dark red light emerges from the cracks, turning into the only light source, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the surrounding environment.
The colorful corals are gorgeous in strange shapes, and various deep-sea fish are swimming, which looks magnificent in the periscope.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Darren's mood also became happy.
The submarine passed through the submarine volcanoes silently and soon entered the waters near Fishman Island.
Seeing the beautiful fairyland-like island in the distance gradually emerging in the periscope, Darren smiled, but soon he seemed to notice something and his expression became strange.
"This kind of breath... can't it be..."
Darren raised his eyebrows and a sneer gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What a coincidence..."
...
Fishman Island, Ryugu Castle.
Banquet hall.
On the rectangular exquisite dining table, there are a variety of deep-sea delicacies.
Seashell sashimi, fist-sized oysters, golden barbecue, wine brewed by Fishman Island, deep-sea fish platter...
Looking at the delicious meal in front of them, everyone in Roger's Pirates was salivating, and their eyes were shining green.
The whole world was terrified and afraid of the name of Roger's Pirates.
But only the crew knew... Following Captain Roger, they would go hungry three times a day.
When they went out to sea, they just made do with whatever they wanted. Sometimes, they would use their own bodies to catch a sea king and roast it to eat, which was considered a rich meal. Where had they ever seen such exaggerated and luxurious dishes in front of them?
Gurgle...
The two little devils, Buggy and Shanks, swallowed their saliva together and looked at Rayleigh with expectant eyes.
"Captain Rayleigh..."
Rayleigh laughed:
"Eat it, don't let King Neptune's kindness down."
After the voice fell, everyone finally couldn't hold back and rushed forward directly.
Especially Roger, who stuffed a half-person-high barbecue into his mouth, and the scene was extremely funny.
Neptune stared at the group of guys in front of him who were madly fighting for food, and his mouth couldn't stop twitching.
This is the Roger Pirates that are famous in the sea! ?
... Soon they were full of wine and food.
The people who were full of food lay on the ground with their legs spread out, "wail everywhere".
"So King Neptune, the defense of Fishman Island has suddenly become so tense... What's going on?"
Rayleigh took a sip of liquor and asked casually.
Even King Neptune is stationed at the entrance of Fishman Island. Anyone with a little bit of brains can see that something is wrong.
Hearing this question, Neptune suddenly pondered.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly told the truth:
"Charlie from Fishman Street recently made a prophecy - "The gate of Fishman Island will be destroyed."
"So to be on the safe side, I gave an order to strengthen the defense of the gate of Fishman Island, and I personally stationed there."
The gate of Fishman Island will be destroyed?
Everyone in Roger's pirate group was stunned when they heard this, and their expressions were different.
"King Neptune, do you believe in prophecies?" Rayleigh asked with some disbelief.
Neptune sighed and smiled bitterly:
"If it was someone else, I would not believe it."
"Charlie is a well-known fortune teller in our Fishman Island. She has never made a mistake in her fortune telling in the past. Everything she predicted will come true."
"It is precisely because of this reason, and the fact that the sea kings living in the deep sea have become extremely irritable for some reason recently... So when you approached Fishman Island, the soldiers of Ryugu Castle were so nervous."
"Now it seems that the people who destroyed the gate of Fishman Island in the prophecy... are not you."
Hearing this, everyone in Roger's pirate group looked at Roger in unison.
If it weren't for Sambel, it is estimated that their hot-tempered idiot captain would have broken in, right?
Roger touched his head and laughed a little embarrassedly.
Neptune:...
"The sea kings are getting more and more irritable."
At this time, a childish female voice suddenly came from the door of the banquet hall.
Everyone was stunned and turned their heads away.
There was a petite figure standing there, with short black hair covering the right side of her face, wearing a dark purple hooded top, and she looked no more than three or four years old.
She stood there, with a dark blue shark tail gently swaying behind her. She was obviously a little girl, but she had a maturity and calmness beyond her age, coupled with her pale skin and hood... exuding a mysterious temperament.
"Charlie, you're here."
Neptune saw the person coming and a smile appeared on his face.
Xia, Xia Li! ?
All the members of Roger's Pirates immediately widened their eyes, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
This little mermaid, who was only three or four years old, turned out to be the fortune teller that Neptune mentioned! ?
They immediately turned their heads to look at Neptune, their eyes full of the absurd meaning of "Are you serious?".
She is still a little girl!
You believe in children's fairy tales! ?
However, the next sentence in the childish voice of Shirley made them stunned on the spot.
"You are here for the ancient weapon... Poseidon, the king of the sea, right?"
The faces of the members of Roger's Pirates changed slightly.
"Hahaha little mermaid, how did you know?" Roger laughed.
Everyone: ...
He admitted it directly...
Shirley swung her tail and slowly came to Roger's front, raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who was much taller than her. After observing for a few seconds, she suddenly said:
"You are dying."
Neptune was shocked.
Everyone in Roger's Pirates was stunned.
Roger shrugged disapprovingly and smiled proudly:
"Yes, so this is my last voyage."
He squatted down, stretched out his hand to rub Charlie's pale cheek, and asked with a smile:
"So, can you tell me what Poseidon is?"
Charlie stared at Roger in a daze, unable to react for a while.
He was about to die, but this man seemed...not to care?
After a long silence, she slowly shook her head:
"You are too early."
"Poseidon, the king of the sea...is the future mermaid princess."
"The sea kings have been so irritable recently, in fact, because they are welcoming the birth of the mermaid princess."
The mermaid princess is the ancient weapon Poseidon, the king of the sea?
But...
Everyone turned their heads to Neptune again.
"Aren't you single?"
Roger stared at Neptune with suspicion, stroking his beard.
"Can you fishmen have children without getting married?"
Neptune's face darkened.
Rayleigh and the others covered their faces in pain.
