Chapter 82
Title : Syarly...
….
–Amon Pov–
After walking for a few minutes, we found the Mermaid cafe.
Melo has a pretty cheerful appearance. I didn't expect him to meet her like this. He even got married. How depressing. He released all anger, vengeance and vengeance. They will be the source of his power.
Ignoring the remaining thoughts, I looked forward to the entrance of the cafe.
According to my information, this cafe is managed by Shyarly, the soothsayer.
Hmm, is it a good idea to go inside? He can predict what I'm going to do this time, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I plan to not hide like a mouse anymore.
"Hey, leader. Let's go inside."
Nodding to Melo, I then walked behind him–Wait, He said his wife works here…. Could it be that Shyarly is his wife? That would be a cliche scenario, but not impossible…
With too many complicated thoughts in my mind, I stepped inside the cafe when something truly unique entered my eyes…
….
I've never seen such a sight before. Mermaids dance inside the bar, they are called Mermaid Dancers. Many mermaids serve customers. Many humans besides us are also here, although the Mermaid Princess doesn't seem to mind.
I observed them for 5 seconds before turning my eyes around the cafe. It is beautiful and has more than 4 floors. I guess Shyarly should be on top.
Melo then led us to a table in the corner as she sat on the chair in front. Me, Raki, and Robin were sitting opposite him.
Sit down, Melo chirped cheerfully. "So, leader, how are you? I heard you became a warlord?"
I think he doesn't even know. At least he's not so pathetic, yeah.
"Yes, I was one of them. Not sure if you like it." I said, showing how he left the guild.
"Haha..well, I guess you'll think so after what I said that day. But don't be afraid, I'll never hate you." He said with a stern face. "Other than that.you know...Though I say all that, I'm here spending my time with my wife."
I mocked him inwardly while smiling outside. "Oh? Your wife, you said she worked here? You're not going to introduce him?"
Melo quickly flinched. "Yes, yeah. That's why I brought you here."
After that, Melo started to look around the room because she could not find anyone. He then went to the Maid and asked about his wife. Not long after, she returned with the red-haired mermaid beauty.
Oh, so it's not Shyarly. Goody.
Sighing deeply, I smiled and waved my hand at the woman.
He had a human body, while his body from under his stomach was only a fish. She looks beautiful, but I've seen better. A typical Mermaid I think, a fucking idiot lost himself to this woman huh.
….
An hour later, Melo was sitting next to his wife. His eyes were a little teary, but he was still smiling.
"And then we got married. After that, I stopped piracy and lived happily here." His wife helped him wipe away his tears. "I have .. surrendered to my revenge."
That's when the woman opened her mouth. "Silence, Melo. We'll be fine."
mehs
I smiled, but it was hard not to be horrified.
Basically, on his way one day he encountered a ship with a Vice Admiral on it. I know that guy too, he's a good pawn.
Like the cliche of the last time, he returned to meet another woman, this woman, and after some time he discovered he was also the blood relative of his previous wife. So, they got married.
Ahh, how a little annoying. He forgot all about that word... I think preference, yes.
Shaking my head internally, I banished those thoughts. I don't care about the purpose some people go to the highway.
…
We talked to them for a few more minutes, while Melo asked, "So, why are you here? Is it to meet Warlord Jimbei? Or just taking a walk? If it's the second one, I can be your guide!"
Finally asking the real question, huh... By the way, Jimbei? I think I'll meet him eventually.
I then said in the same happy voice. "It's just to look around .. and some personal work."
Melo decided not to dismantle and move forward. He talked about Robin and Raki as well, because about an hour had passed.
That's when I felt someone come down from the top floor. In a second, I used the 'Thunder Eye' to determine the identity of the target.
Uh-huh, there he is. But why did he rush down? Did he see anything urgent .. does he feel anything about me?
Before I could think more, the button in my hand shook silently and suddenly.
Feeling the vibrations in his pants, I woke up. "Excuse me, I'll use the restroom very quickly."
Ignoring Robin's gaze, I walked into the restroom and teleported to somewhere far from the Cafe, in an alley.
….
Kacha!
["Hello boss?"]
It was a sickly male voice. ["You're already on Fish-Man island? Something big just happened."]
I frowned. "I'm right here. Tell me what's so big?"
["The Queen has returned ... I think soon, the broadcast will begin."]
Just as the sickly voice said this, loud chirping occurred from several speakers.
[The Fish-Man islanders, the Queen has returned!]
Forming a grin, I disconnected the call and started talking to myself. "Oh shit. Memory playing me? I think he should have come back 2 weeks after leaving, it turned out to be only a week. Hah, I think it's been over 14 years, yeah."

While I was in the process of teleportation, my brain worked at top speed for several milliseconds after I filled it with electricity.
If the queen is already here, then I must hasten my plans. When will Hody attack?... I guess 2 days? Anyway, I'm not sure. I will wait and will not reveal the identity of my Warlord before that incident. According to my calculations, it would create too much discomfort if I did.
Thinking of this, I actually teleported back to the restroom.
"Let's think about this later."
Walking out through the door, I found Shyarly too busy to notice me. While riding the bubble, he headed towards the place where the queen should be. Shyarly left as I stared at his back.
I have a question... What is the origin of his power?
Devil Fruit, or a higher and different version of Observation like Aisa?
Neither the first nor the last one seems to make so much sense to me as he does need to use the Crystal Ball to see the future. I don't think the devil fruit will need such help, while other than a few demon fruits, I don't remember ever seeing any equipment that managed to improve Haki, the power generated from Will.
So something like Basil Hawkins' ability? A technique he made himself, or did he find it hiding under the sea? I mean the martial arts of this world are very OP. Fishman Karate, Hasshoken, Rokushiki, etc. They usually don't make sense. So maybe so too.
...Anyway, whatever it is I'll see later. I had no knowledge of how to get past his abilities as of now. For now, I will do as I did with Aisa. Don't want to be on the losing side after all...
I then slowly walked forward and turned left, looking at the group I waved my hand at.
"Yo, Melo what happened to the broadcast just now? You know something?"
I acted aloof as Melo made a thoughtful expression. "Oh, you don't know that the Queen is gone, yes ... In short, a week ago the Queen of Fish-Man Island left with the World Nobles and has now returned safely."
"Huh? A World Noble?" I pretended not to know anymore. "really? I thought they hated Fishmen..Are they not enslaving Mermaids?" Suddenly as his face changed, I decided to change the subject. "I ignore what I'm saying... It's okay if we go and observe the Queen as well...?"
After hearing me, Melo's face darkened at the thought of the World Noble, the Mermaid slave. But he immediately smiled brightly looking at his wife beside him.
I get a serious red flag vibe here ... Not that I care.
We walked out of the cafe after paying the bills, even though the Mermaid's wife tried to stop us. After a few minutes of walking, we finally reached the place where many people gathered.
In front, a single woman held a paper in her hand and lifted it up.
"Everything! One of the World Nobles had given his word. This paper contains his approval of Fish-Man island immigration to the surface!"
The queen said in a loud voice while loudspeakers all over the island broadcast her speech.
Very enticing. So nothing has changed from Canon?
I wonder, how did he manage this? How could he get help from the man who was determined to fuck every Fishman after returning to the Marijoes?… Does he use his body?
She was not so beautiful even though she was a Queen, but she had a strange physique... But I guess preference, so it seems reasonable.
Anyway, I don't care. I'm not here for him anyway.
….
After hearing the queen's words for a while, Amon decides to part with the group saying that he has work to do.
He went to see his spies and checked their loyalty after hypnotizing them and asking a few questions. After checking everything out, he returned to where the huge crowd was.
«...★...»
Many Fishmen were currently giving their signatures to the Queen who was shedding tears of happiness.
In a corner, Shyarly finished meeting the Queen. He was glad nothing bad happened to him. Even though he already knew nothing would happen to the Queen, he was still doubtful of his own strength.
Now he went back to his cafe but something caught his attention…
A man wearing a dark purple suit from head to toe. He must look like someone suspicious.
He immediately narrowed his eyes. 'Suspicious…'
Shyarly nudged one of his guards and said in a low voice. "Begging some Royal Guards to keep an eye on the man. I'll check his future after returning ..."
Unfortunately, he could not use his Observation Haki without that crystal. He doesn't know what his real name is, but it's really a special version of OH. It comes from his genes.
On the outside, like her half-brother Arlong, she was a Shark-type, even though she was a Mermaid.
The ancestors of fish-men worked differently from Humans, one could not tell how the child would look from the appearance of his parents. They can have the look of a distant ancestor from hundreds of years ago.
In his case, he was a mutant. Although he had ignored sharks, he was a mixture of a special type of extinct fish that had some special privileges. The Crystal Ball was a part of his body, which was expelled from his body like a snake laying eggs. Using it, he could see the future. It must be said, the Fishmen gene is really interesting.
He then accelerated his pace with a frown. 'Let's go back quickly... I need to check the future immediately, I have a bad feeling about this.'

In addition to that,
Ignoring the gaze from Shyarly, Amon examined Queen Otohime for a while. His ability to feel emotions was very different from Amon's. He hears their internal 'screams' while Amon hears 'voice'. It sounds similar, but Amon's powers are more flexible in the long run. He could sense it so accurately that he could guess one's thoughts, while Otohime only felt his emotions.
It should be noted that not all Haki Observation users can feel emotions, only a few of them can.
In the Shandia tribe, Amon and Aisa are variable because Raki, Duy, and the others cannot do so. While most Birkan people can do it because they follow the path of religion. After all, they, especially the priests, needed to have the strength to guide ordinary humans…
Amon had a strange thought. What will his future be like?
"I wonder what Shyarly will do. What will he see? Ahhaha. Will he see that I will kill... Neptune?"
