"Miss, are you the owner of this coffee shop?"

"That's right." Shirley flashed her signature smile, which she had practiced for a long time. "My name is Shirley, and I'm a well-known fortune teller on Fishman Island. And you are?"

"Ah, my name is Ginny, and this is Big Bear."

Ginny pulled the big bear, who was still standing there in a daze, over and introduced him to Shirley with a smile.

"Since you're a fortune teller, could you tell my fortune?"

She narrowed her eyes, and asked with interest, "Is there any fate between me and this guy?"

Big Bear was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously wanted to speak up to stop him.

But the words stuck in his throat.

Years ago, when Ginny proposed to him without hesitation, he was already caught in a dilemma—unable to refuse, yet afraid to accept.

Their acquaintance dates back to the God Valley Incident. It was a time of enslavement and escape, a period of chaos in which the two of them, along with their companions, relied on each other, struggled desperately in dire circumstances, and ultimately survived.

This experience left not only an unbreakable bond between us, but also a deep-seated fear etched into our hearts.

He always remembered that day—

His father was telling him the legend of Nika, a liberation soldier. The story had barely finished when gunshots rang out, and his father fell in a pool of blood.

A Celestial Dragon passing by simply remarked, "So noisy," before taking a life.

Since then, the words of the Five Elders have echoed in his ears like a persistent shadow—the Bakania are destined to be slaves of the Celestial Dragons from birth.

He could never escape it, and that's why he never dared to reciprocate Ginny's feelings. Because accepting them would mean dragging her back into the abyss.

Just as Big Bear was lost in thought, Shirley asked, "I can only see fragments of fate, so I can't necessarily confirm the relationship between you two. Even so, is that alright?"

"It's okay! The more information, the better!"

The three of them then went into the maid café together.

Ginny and Big Bear sat down by the window, and Ishri served them two cups of black tea with rose jam—her signature drink that she had been practicing lately.

Shirley took out a crystal ball from behind the counter, walked over and sat down opposite the two of them, and the divination began.

As her fingers gently moved, fragmented images gradually appeared in the crystal ball.

First, there are images of the two fighting side by side in various kingdoms, their movements swift and efficient, their teamwork impeccable.

The scene shifts to them running a travel agency under the name of the Dragon King's Palace, opening up shipping routes across the world. As a result, Xia Li's own maid café is bustling with customers and business is booming.

Seeing this, Xia Li nodded slightly, her expression unusually relaxed.

However, the next moment, the image suddenly became chaotic.

Fragments of the battle flashed again, but were no longer clear; all the images eventually froze on a disturbing scene.

The scene appears to be a battlefield on some island.

Because Shirley was unfamiliar with the terrain, she was also unable to determine the exact time the incident occurred.

In the image, Ginny's body is tinged with an eerie blue hue, her breath is weak, and she appears to be on the verge of death. Beside her, Big Bear is in tears, his expression filled with helplessness and regret.

In the video, Ginny seems to say something to Big Bear, and then Big Bear forces out an unnatural smile.

Shirley was momentarily annoyed by her own divination abilities—

In my two most recent premonitions, I saw this unfortunate outcome.

But then she remembered that the prophecy about Fishman Island hadn't actually been accurate. There always seemed to be a discrepancy between her understanding of the future and the reality that actually happened.

It's too early to draw conclusions now. A more positive perspective suggests that knowing these details beforehand might not have led to the inevitable tragic ending.

She cleared her throat, preparing to offer a slightly more optimistic interpretation: "As you can see, what I foresee is a huge crisis."

"If you can weather this crisis, you'll surely have a happy future together."

"Miss Ginny in the picture is covered in some kind of blue, which looks somewhat like lead poisoning? Perhaps you could take some precautions?"

Upon hearing that a happy future was possible, Ginny jumped up excitedly and said to the big bear beside her, "Bear cub! Did you hear that? As long as we're together, we can have a happy future!"

Big Bear said with some concern, "Ginny, shouldn't the focus be on the fact that you're getting sick?"

"I don't care! Big Bear, you can do it! I believe in you!"

Just then, the coffee shop door was pushed open, and a little boy wearing a leopard-print hat, holding a box of cake, called out loudly, "Sister Ishiri, I've come to visit you! How have you been these past few days?"

When Shirley saw the newcomer, her eyes lit up. She turned to Ginny and Big Bear and said, "This guy's father is a renowned doctor who studies lead poisoning. Perhaps you could ask him?"

Having studied medicine for some time, Luo listened somewhat blankly to Xia Li's description of the illness. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "This sounds a lot like a disease called Jade Scales. I've seen records of it in my father's notes. It's said to be even rarer than Lead Amber Disease. Patients cannot be directly exposed to sunlight, otherwise their entire body will gradually turn jade-colored, and they will die in agony."

Big Bear asked anxiously, "Is there any way to save us?"

"I'm not entirely sure; my father probably knows more. But if it's those two adults, they'll surely have a way."

Big Bear was silent for a moment, his fingers tightening slightly.

"Those two gentlemen?"

-----------------

"So, you want me to step in and help you cure the Jade Disease?"

Tianxing closed the ancient book in his hand and questioned the big bear kneeling in front of him.

"I implore you to save Ginny in the future... I am willing to pay any price for it."

Tianxing asked seriously, "You mean...any price?"

"Yes." Big Bear had already made up his mind and did not hesitate.

Tianxing was silent for a moment. He remembered the Holy Land plan he had promised Tiger, and the expectation that he had rejected Hime's desire to overthrow Wano Country. He quickly made up his mind.

Let's just consider it as accelerating contact with the revolutionary army, and the current situation also makes it easier for me to ask for some benefits.

"There's no need for that. Let me tell you in advance, we have plans to invade the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. Therefore, in order to make the plan more successful, we need strong intelligence support from the Revolutionary Army."

"Furthermore, we need training methods for life-saving techniques to enhance our combat capabilities. What do you think?"

Big Bear was taken aback, not expecting the other party's stance to be even clearer than that of the King of Fishman Island. However, upon closer reflection, this might not be a bad thing—the two sides had a very strong foundation for cooperation, far more solid than he had anticipated.

He quickly took out a notebook from his pocket, handed it over with both hands, and said, "This is a physical technique notebook compiled by our leader, Dragon, based on the teachings of his father, Garp. It also includes some of my personal insights."

"Life Return is known as a technique that transcends the limits of ordinary people, and the physical requirements are extremely demanding. Generally speaking, it is easier to master this ability after mastering the Six Powers of the Navy—Shave, Iron Body, Paper Drawing, Moon Walk, Tempest Kick, and Finger Pistol."

"Of course, the higher the threshold, the greater the reward. Once mastered, one can quickly restore physical strength through eating, and the control over the body will far exceed what ordinary people can achieve."

He paused, then added, "I hope this notebook will be of some help to you. As for Mary Geoise, I need to explain it to the dragon—but I don't think there will be any obstacles."

After listening, Tianxing nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Then, he took out a bottle of hot floating milk from the void, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, a wisp of light blue aura quietly blended into it.

The already magical milk suddenly gained an indescribable sense of purity.

Big Bear looked somewhat excited, instinctively sensing the power contained within.

"I have imbued this bottle of milk with the blessings of the ocean, which can dispel impurities from the body to some extent."

Big Bear nodded solemnly and carefully accepted the glass of milk.

Tianxing glanced at Da Xiong again and said calmly, "In that case, I look forward to a pleasant collaboration from now on!"
