Chapter 131 Fishman Karate

Chapter 131: Fishman Karate

Tom suddenly felt that the dessert he had just put in his mouth wasn't so delicious anymore. A prediction with a 100% accuracy rate - he was going to die. Tom bit his hand and shivered in fear.

Queen Otohime and Jinbei looked sympathetically at Tom, the poor little cat who had been frightened so badly.

When a cat is scared, it's the duty of the owner to comfort them, especially when you have a cat like Tom who doesn't need a litter box. As the "litter box official," your role is limited in such situations.

But Tom's shivering was different this time. It was so intense that it made Adrian, who was holding him, shiver in sync, transmitting the tremors to every hair on his body.

So, all the others could see was Adrian holding Tom, his voice trembling as he asked, "Can you please clarify... what do you mean by 'he will die'?"

Shyarly delivered the cruel truth, "His body will be pierced, with a wound so large that there won't even be a need for rescue."

Rui Mengmeng and Artoria exchanged glances and continued with what they were doing, not surprised at all. They had seen Tom being sliced into pieces by Hawkeye; there was no need for rescue in such cases.

Adrian inquired further, "Do you know who the enemy is?"

Shyarly replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have detailed information."

Adrian continued, "What about the others? Can you see who the companions around me are? How are they?"

Shyarly could faintly make out the silhouettes of several fighters in the room and a young boy with a similar build to Adrian's from behind. However..."

"However?" Adrian pressed for more information.

"I also saw another image that appeared at the same time. You, alone, were walking between tall buildings, surrounded by a bustling crowd, countless people squeezing into a narrow space, day after day. I felt like that person was you, yet at the same time, it felt completely unrelated to you."

It was the first time Shyarly had encountered such a strange divination result. Instead of predicting a more distant future, she saw two simultaneous futures.

Adrian fell into thought for a moment and then expressed his deep respect for Shyarly. Could she have seen an alternate timeline, like the "IF" line in games?

Others might not understand, but he realized that it resembled the scene after he graduated. Walking alone through a familiar yet unfamiliar city every day, being swallowed by the surging crowds, packed into narrow spaces day after day... This divination effect was even more impressive without any special effects.

"Thank you for your divination, Shyarly." Adrian thanked her politely, regretting only that there were few clues about the enemy and the future companions.

"Don't blame me for scaring your pet with my terrible predictions," Shyarly suddenly realized that her divinations seemed to often predict negative outcomes. Perhaps she should refrain from divining for others in the future.

Adrian reassured her, "It's okay, Tom is easily comforted." He picked up a heart-shaped dessert plate. "Here, Tom, eat this. Even if your heart is pierced, you won't die."

Tom pointed at the dessert, then at himself, looking at Adrian with a skeptical expression, as if asking if eating it would really prevent him from dying.

Adrian nodded firmly, "Really, it's a treat for dogs." He was sure Tom wouldn't die from not eating it, either.

Tom, looking into Adrian's sincere eyes, believed him and swallowed the dessert whole. Adrian had to use some effort to pull his hand out of Tom's mouth, but the plate didn't come out with it.

At this point, Tom's neck stretched out, and the shape of the plate and dessert was clearly visible in the middle. Tom seemed to be struggling to swallow, but he got stuck.

"Oh no, the plate! Make him spit it out quickly!" Shyarly panicked.

Tom held his own throat, shaking his head. This was a life-saving item, he couldn't spit it out. Tom suddenly had an idea and used his right hand to hit the top of his head with force.

With a gulping sound, the plate went down smoothly, all the way to the tip of his tail, and then bounced back into his body.

Tom lay on the table, looking relaxed and relieved. Shyarly, on the other hand, was frantic. "How can you eat the plate? What do we do?"

Adrian comforted her, "Don't worry; we'll compensate for the plate."

"This isn't about the plate!" The young Shyarly roared with pointed teeth, completely abandoning her previous composure. What was wrong with this person?

"Don't worry; he hasn't been pierced yet. He won't die," Adrian reassured them using her logic.

Indeed, in her previous timeline, Hody Jones attempted to execute the royal family and destroy Fish-Man Island. However, due to Shyarly's prediction that it was Monkey D. Luffy who would destroy Fish-Man Island, Hody Jones was unsuccessful.

It made perfect sense and was quite convincing.

After hearing Adrian's words, Shyarly calmed down a bit.

Queen Otohime and Jinbei also found this miraculous.

Jinbei nodded, "The sea is vast, and many strange creatures can exist."

No, no, no. No matter how vast the sea is, it won't produce something as extraordinary as Tom. Adrian sipped his coffee and brought up the main topic.

"I actually have a favor to ask, Mr. Jinbei."

He hadn't figured out the appropriate way to address Jinbei yet, so he opted for 'Mr.' for now, as it was quite versatile.

"Please go ahead," Jinbei said. He considered himself indebted to Fish-Man Island after saving Queen Otohime, so he was eager to repay the favor.

Adrian continued, "I'd like to ask Mr. Jinbei to see if Sharkler can learn Fish-Man Karate."

"Sharkler?" Jinbei looked at the robotic fish-man who resembled a fish-man. Could a robot learn Fish-Man Karate?

Even Sharkler himself was a bit puzzled. He hadn't learned Fish-Man Karate through sleep-learning, but he was familiar with judo, karate, and sumo from his previous knowledge. What made Fish-Man Karate different?

"Fish-Man Karate is a unique martial art of the fish-men. When mastered, it can attack an opponent's internal water using vibrations," Jinbei explained briefly about the core principles of Fish-Man Karate.

Even without Haki, he could still harm Monkey D. Luffy, who was a rubber person, using this technique. In addition to close combat techniques, Fish-Man Karate also had powerful long-range attacks such as water shots and shockwaves, making it a comprehensive martial art in the world of pirates.

"Learning Fish-Man Karate is easier for fish-men with webbed hands, but even if you don't have them, you can still learn. However, Sharkler's hands..."

Jinbei looked at Sharkler's small, single-thumb hands with some hesitation. How would he throw punches? And with a steel body, could he manipulate water to the extent required?
