Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

Chapter 116 2 Children's Argument

A few people who hadn't seen each other for a long time were chatting in the coffee shop.

Suddenly patting her head, Jenny asked excitedly:

"Do you want to ask Madam Shirley for divination?"

"She is the most famous fortune teller in the surrounding villages."

"What about the second most famous one?"

Hearing this, Jerry blurted out, Jenny was stunned, glanced at him, and said:

"do not know!"

"A fortune teller?"

Deus, who had been like a lazy fish, sometimes lowering his head to write something, and sometimes looking around, suddenly jumped up after hearing their conversation.

"Why, Deuce, are you interested?"

Ace couldn't understand it, he never really believed in this stuff.

"Yes, divination, what a mysterious skill."

"What divination?"

At this time, Kalina, carrying a lot of bags in her hands, appeared behind him and asked. She and Garrott had just returned and it seemed that they had gained a lot.

Knowing that several people knew each other, Jenny explained:

"Our store manager, Mrs. Shirley, is famous for her ability to predict the future."

"However, it seems that she rarely does divination now."

"why?"

"It seems that she feels that everything she predicted before was bad, and that the future is better if it is unknown."

Deuce and Kalina were obviously more interested in this, and Jenny answered all their questions.

"What did she predict before?"

"It is said that when the lady was a child, she foresaw that many pirates would arrive on the island."

"In the second year, the Great Pirate Era began..."

"Wow!? So amazing?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Can that be predicted accurately?

Jerry also sighed, wondering if it was because of the coffee that drinking it gave him magical powers. Otherwise, how could this metaphysical ability, which was not brought by the devil fruit, appear?

Shaking his head, he said:

"It's amazing, but my future is not a dream. I live every minute seriously, so there's no need to make predictions."

"That's right. Even if we know the future, what can we do? Can we just lie down and stop working hard?"

“I just believe that the future depends on oneself.”

Ace, who was not too impressed by this, said firmly at this moment.

"That's right. If you don't try your best when you encounter difficulties, you will never know how bad your potential is... well, you will never know how big your potential is!"

Jerry, who is familiar with all kinds of chicken soup, agreed seriously.

After hearing what the two said, Deuce and Kalina nodded. They didn't intend to do any divination. Deuce was just purely interested and wanted to know more about those strange abilities.

Kalina has always believed that women should survive with wisdom, so she has never relied too much on or trusted outsiders or things.

Of course, if the ability of divination could be used to tell her where the treasure was, she wouldn't mind listening, but this was obviously impossible, and she was not familiar with Mrs. Shirley.

"Human! Get out of here and don't let us have access to our island anymore."

"Get out!"

Suddenly, some childish voices shouted from the street.

Everyone was sitting by the window, and when they heard the noise, they all turned their heads to look outside, only to see many merman children, walking and shouting in a team on the street as if they were parading.

From what they saw, everyone was baring their teeth, as if they were demonstrating and warning them.

Before anyone could say anything, the same childish voice came from the other side of the street.

"Hey! Stop messing around here. There are good people among humans too. Have you all forgotten Princess Otohime's ideals?"

When I looked over the noise, I saw another group of children standing on the street, shouting angrily at the previous group of fish-man children.

Most of the newly emerged group of children are mermaids, and a small number are murlocs.

"Good people? Why, it's only been a short while since what happened in Mermaid Bay last night, you guys are so forgetful!"

"Humans shouldn't be allowed on our island!"

"Get out!"

In the merman team, a child king who looked like a leader took the lead in refuting the mermaid's point of view.

However, the little mermaid girl on the other side did not indulge them. She stepped forward and said loudly:

"Last night, Sister Yishili said it was a misunderstanding. Don't make use of it anymore!"

Then, the two sides started arguing, and Jerry turned to Jenny and Dora and asked:

"What's up with these kids?"

"Brother Jerry, I know. Most of them are from nearby shops. Some are kids who often play here."

Perhaps Dora had once been a member of the group of children, so she knew very well what was going on and immediately told everyone about it.

The reason can be traced back to the incident of Princess Otohime. When the princess was still alive, she was deeply loved by the people for various reasons. In order to give the next generation a better future, she organized a signature campaign across the island.

Although she ultimately failed due to an assassination attempt, her ideals were kept in mind by the people of Fishman Island.

Where there is a positive side, there is a negative side. Influenced by Princess Otohime, most kind-hearted people view all humans equally, recognize her ideals and are willing to cooperate with her.

But there will always be a part of the people who do not agree with this, or think that such a kind-hearted Princess Otohime was murdered by humans, so what else is there in humans that is trustworthy and can make them work hard to coexist peacefully.

Apart from a small number of extremists on Fishman Street, there are also some residents in the town who hate humans for one reason or another.

After all, humans have indeed done some bad things to their fellow human beings or people around them, such as trafficking and discrimination.

Seeing the big picture from the small, this is why Neptune and others in the palace do not want to reveal the truth abruptly, but want to do it step by step.

Most of the children in front of us are not yet able to make objective judgments on things like adults. Their likes and dislikes are mostly influenced by their family, education and surrounding living environment.

After thinking carefully about what happened in the bay last night, the mermaid girl felt that it might really be a misunderstanding, although it was an embarrassing misunderstanding.

The girl later remembered that the box that was fished out by the mysterious man was the one she had placed by the window the night before, and when she got up, she opened the window herself.

By chance, the thin rope of the box stretched into the water outside the window and entangled with the fishing line that was hanging on the water for some reason, and was pulled up by the man.

And she remembered that when she was screaming, she vaguely heard a mistaken shout.

Therefore, she was kind-hearted and decided not to make a fuss about it, which allowed the soldiers who originally wanted to interrogate her to return home in the early morning.

But the merman children didn't care about the cause and effect. They were bored and had nothing to do, so they decided to play a game of boycotting humans today.

On the other side, the team where the majority of mermaids were present couldn't stand the fact that they were playing with this kind of thing, so they spontaneously wanted to come out and stop them from making trouble.

After listening to Dora's words, everyone knew the final outcome of what happened last night. No wonder they didn't feel anything was wrong in the atmosphere after that morning.

"Let's go."

Everyone had already paid their bills and said goodbye to each other, and Jerry was the first to leave.

He walked straight towards the leading merman child, and the others stood at the door of the store, quietly looking at his back.

The two groups of children who were arguing with each other before saw a human walking towards them, and the fish-man, the leader of the children, shouted:

"What? Human, you want to take revenge on me? I'm not afraid of you!"

Staring at his still bright eyes and stubborn expression, Jerry ignored his disgusted face, reached out and touched his head, and smiled:

"Little brother, if you already have light in your heart, don't let the light in your eyes disappear, and don't let darkness cover your light."

"Even if you don't believe in Tiga, you must believe in light."

Everyone present, including the children, were stunned at the same time. Although they didn’t know what Tiga was, they still vaguely understood what Jerry meant.

Ace's eyes flickered, and he seemed to vaguely see the shadow of his own childhood in the merman child.
