<><><><><><>

Shyarly's pale hands emitted a faint purple aura as she circled them around her crystal-clear crystal ball. 

Gradually, the previously transparent crystal ball began to display vivid images. 

These images appeared one after another like a slideshow, showing scenes without revealing the sequence of events.

The first image depicted a Marine ship docked at the entrance of Fish-Man Island, surrounded by thirty to forty Fish-Men wielding weapons. 

The second image showed a young Marine drawing his sword and unleashing a crescent-shaped slash toward Fish-Man Island. 

The powerful slash split the entire island in two, reducing its buildings to ruins and causing countless casualties among the residents. 

The once lively Fish-Man Island now resembled a living hell. 

In the third image, the young swordsman suddenly turns his gaze toward Shyarly, his eyes sharp like blades. 

This causes her eyes to sting in pain and forces her to shut them instinctively. 

The crystal ball, unable to withstand the intensity of the young man's gaze, shatters into pieces.

Although the surrounding customers couldn't see anything in the crystal ball, they could tell from Shyarly's distressed tears and the explosion that she had foreseen something terrifying. 

The atmosphere in the cafe grew tense. Everyone exchanged uneasy glances, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.

Shyarly took a while to recover her sight, but she didn't share the news with the other customers. 

She knew that if she spread this information, it would only cause panic on Fish-Man Island, potentially making the situation worse. 

Instead, she wrote her prediction on paper and instructed Kami to deliver it to King Neptune immediately. 

Meanwhile, she hurried to the location of the first image she had seen—the entrance to Fishman Island—determined to prevent the disaster from happening.

At the entrance to Fish-Man Island, Byakuya suddenly felt like someone was invading his privacy, a strange sensation that appeared out of nowhere with no discernible source. 

Frowning, Byakuya scanned his surroundings, activating his Observation Haki. 

When his Haki detected a slight anomaly in the air, he turned his gaze coldly toward it, and the sensation abruptly vanished as if it had never existed.

Byakuya instantly realized that there was likely a Fish-Man on the island who could foresee the future—Shyarly, also Arlong's sister. 

Shyarly's fortune-telling probably caused the sensation he had felt earlier. 

However, since fortune-telling predicted possible future events, Byakuya was impressed that his Observation Haki could detect the fluctuations from such a prediction. 

This made him wonder if, by further developing his Haki, he could achieve the same level of future sight as Katakuri's Observation Haki.

As the standoff between Byakuya's crew and the guards continued, more Fish-Men gathered to watch. 

Like the guards, they held little goodwill toward surface dwellers, especially since Byakuya was a Marine. 

They shouted angrily from the entrance of the island: "You despicable lot, get out of Fish-Man Island! You're not welcome here!"

"Captain Vito, instead of wasting time with this standoff, why don't we just attack them and kill them all!"

"Yeah, we've never had Marines come to Fish-Man Island all these years. I bet killing a Marine feels even better than killing a pirate!"

They referred to "Captain Vito" as the strong Fish Man leading the group. 

Listening to the taunts of the gathered Fish-Men, Vito scolded them, "Watch what you say, you fools! Don't bring trouble to Boss Jinbe!"

Blocking the Marines from entering Fish-Man Island wasn't a big deal, but actively killing Marines would escalate the situation. 

Moreover, Jinbe was still a Warlord of the Sea, recognized by the World Government, and had provided considerable protection for Fish-Man Island.

Byakuya ignored the insults from the Fish Men. To him, it wasn't worth arguing with those who were as good as dead. 

Instead, he calculated how much World Source power he could extract from Fish-Man Island. This was what truly mattered to him. 

If he remembered correctly, the events that could be altered here involved the New Fish-Man Pirates and the obsessive stalker of Princess Shirahoshi, Vander Decken IX, who possessed the Target-Target Fruit. 

Additionally, there was a Poneglyph in the Sea Forest, which Joy Boy had left as an apology.

Estimating the potential gains, Byakuya figured he could earn around ten thousand World Source points, which would be quite a substantial reward.

Byakuya, keeping track of the time, finally spoke, "You have three more minutes. Don't blame me for what happens next if you don't move."

The Fish-Men, already seething with anger toward humans, were further enraged by Byakuya's arrogant words. 

They began to prepare to attack Byakuya and his crew. Vito, displeased, glanced at Byakuya and then at the increasingly agitated Fish-Men. 

If they attacked the Marines, some of them would undoubtedly be killed, and the situation would spiral out of control.

Under Vito's orders, the guards who had previously surrounded Byakuya were now acting as his bodyguards, preventing the other Fish-Men from attacking the Marines. 

Byakuya glanced at Vito with a hint of surprise; he hadn't expected any of the Fish-Men to be so level-headed. 

Just as the situation became increasingly chaotic, Shyarly arrived quickly. 

She looked at the Marine ship docked at the entrance of Fish-Man Island and the young Marine officer, and everything matched the scenes she had seen in her crystal ball. 

This filled Shyarly with a deep dread, her worry visible. 

However, she was relieved that nothing had happened yet—there was still time. 

Shyarly resolved that she absolutely could not let her prediction come true.

Facing the chaotic scene in front of her, Shyarly coldly shouted, "Everyone, get out of the way!" 

The Fish-Men, entangled in the commotion, were about to curse at the person who dared to shout at them, but when they turned and saw it was Shyarly, they instantly quieted down and obediently stepped aside. 

Shyarly held a special status on Fish-Man Island as a fortune-teller whose predictions had never been wrong—they always came true with absolute certainty. 

Furthermore, the thugs from Fish-Man Street, who idolized figures like Arlong, also respected Shyarly, given that she was Arlong's sister. 

So, when faced with her reprimand, they had no choice but to comply.

Vito was surprised by the appearance of the fortune-teller Shyarly and asked, "Shyarly, what brings you here?" 

Shyarly, with a grave expression, replied, "Do not attack these Marines." Vito was shocked that Shyarly, the island's renowned fortune-teller, would plead for a group of Marines. 

"But... they're Marines! How can we..." Vito started to protest, but seeing the seriousness on Shyarly's face and considering her reputation, an unsettling thought crossed his mind. 

Trembling, Vito asked, "Did you predict something? Something involving these Marines?" 

To avoid causing too much panic or inciting further animosity toward the Marines, Shyarly nodded without revealing the details of her vision. 

But even this was enough for Vito to understand the gravity of the situation.

At that moment, Byakuya's voice rang out again. "One minute left."

With that, Byakuya ordered his crew on the ship to prepare for battle, ready to strike at any moment. 

To the Fish-Men, this move was nothing short of a blatant provocation. 

Despite the guards and Shyarly trying to maintain order, some of the Fish-Men, driven by their anger, continued to shout about killing Byakuya. 

Just as the situation was about to erupt into violence, another group of guards arrived from Fish-Man Island.

These new arrivals were not Fish-Men but mermaids. 

With human-like upper bodies and fish tails, they rode on identically sharp-nosed sharks, each holding bone tridents. 

Shark, the Crown Prince of the Ryugu Kingdom, led the group, a shark merman. It was well-armed and a formidable force. 

He had a round spot on his forehead, sharp shark teeth, gill slits, and long, wavy blue hair. 

His appearance was dignified, with pale round spots on his fish tail. He wielded a golden trident, and his royal bearing was unmistakable.

When Cammy delivered the note Shyarly had written to King Neptune earlier, it caused alarm within the Ryugu Palace. 

Just as the Fish-Men who revered Shyarly had done, they did not doubt her predictions' accuracy. 

To prevent the foretold disaster, Neptune immediately dispatched Shark, the group's most responsible and calm member, with strict instructions to treat the Marines well and avoid offending them. 

This was a matter concerning the survival of Fish-Man Island, and they had to handle it with utmost caution.

On an unnamed island, a grand banquet was underway in the New World, with over a thousand people celebrating in high spirits. 

A towering figure, nearly seven meters tall, sat on a stone chair, holding a cup as tall as a person, drinking heartily. 

Several IV tubes connected to bottles of medicine were attached to his arms, and his bare chest bore numerous scars, a testament to a lifetime of glory. 

Beside him, a man with pineapple-like hair couldn't help but advise, "Father, you're still on IV fluids; you should take it easy with the drinking."

"Kurararara, this little illness is nothing to me, Marco. Don't worry too much," the man replied. 

"Besides, today Ace is reuniting with friends—how can we not have a good time?"

Hearing this, Marco could only sigh in resignation. If Father insisted on drinking, there was nothing he could do to stop him. 

The man Marco referred to as "Father" was, of course, none other than Whitebeard. 

With a look of satisfaction, Whitebeard gazed at the lively banquet before him—this was what he had always longed for to build a family on the sea and cherish the bonds of family love. 

This life was far more important for Whitebeard than becoming the Pirate King.

At the banquet, a young man with black hair and freckles on his cheeks had one arm around Jinbe and a large piece of roast meat in the other, exclaiming excitedly, 

"Jinbe, I can't believe we ran into each other again on the sea—it wasn't easy!" Jinbe was equally pleased. 

"Indeed! I've been swamped with duties since becoming a Warlord of the Sea." 

"I'm here now because I was tracking a pirate crew that passed through, but I never expected to run into you."

After finishing the roast meat in his hand, Ace licked his lips, still craving more, and dragged Jinbe over to Whitebeard, saying, 

"Father threw this banquet as soon as he heard we ran into you, so you've got to drink a toast with him!" Jinbe chuckled, "Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I planned to visit him myself."

Since Fish-Man Island had raised Whitebeard's flag, countless mermaids and Fish-Men had been saved. 

Jinbe was deeply grateful to Whitebeard. As Ace brought Jinbe before Whitebeard, he reverently said, 

"Father, Jinbe is here to drink a toast with you!" Jinbe, also addressing Whitebeard as "Father," raised his glass and said, "Father, I'm so glad to have met you again on the sea!"

"Gurararara, for me, meeting family on the sea is always worth celebrating," Whitebeard replied with a hearty laugh. 

He held Jinbe in high regard—after all, the title of "Knight of the Sea" wasn't something Jinbe had claimed for himself. 

It was due to Jinbe's good deeds and the reputation he had accumulated over the years as a pirate that he was so well-regarded.
