Chapter 125: Stealing Madame Shyarly's First Kiss?

Shyarly's character is actually not cowardly, so she was a little shy at the beginning, but after arriving at Doflamingo's side, she completely let go of her shyness.

"Dear guests, Master Shyarly is our divination master, she is an expert!" Lini said excitedly.

Shyarly also nodded towards Doflamingo and his group: "Hi, guests."

"Hello, Master Shyarly." Doflamingo said with a smile.

Shyarly, who was young and referred to as a 'master' by Doflamingo's group, replied a little embarrassedly: "It's alright for the guests to address me as Shyarly."

"Fufufufufufu, my name is Doflamingo." Doflamingo responded.

Beckman, Virgo, Hajrudin and others also introduced themselves (Urouge got forgotten, same with Ceasar and Queen). They didn't mention the topic of divination right away, but talked about some miscellaneous things first. Shyarly sat next to Doflamingo, and Lini sat between Beckman and Virgo tactfully.

Basically, if the kanban lady (basically the poster girl) in the tavern comes to the table, she must be given a tip, after all, she is not a real bartender or waitress. Doflamingo and the others are also very generous, playing games for a while, chatting about Fish-Men Island and the customs on the sea, the atmosphere is merry and the tips are generous. 

After chatting for a while, when the topic came back to divination, Beckman after getting to know the girl well, finally asked, "Is Master Shyarly's divination skill real or fake?"

In fact, this way of asking is not impolite, because there are indeed many scammers in divination, and this isn't the first time Shyarly has been asked such a question.

She said confidently: "Not to brag but I've possessed this ability for as long as I can remember. Up till now, all of my predictions have been 100% successful, I even foresaw the death of the Pirate King Roger and the dawn of the great pirate age (I'm not 100% sure if she saw Roger's death, checked the Wiki and it only mentions she foresaw the pirate age). It truly validates my abilities!

"Roger!?" Beckman looked at Shyarly in surprise.

Lini on the side explained: "When Shyarly was three years old, she used to perform divination for the Roger Pirates."

Everyone was slightly surprised, but they didn't seem to want to ask more questions. Doflamingo stroked his chin and asked, "Since you are so confident, why don't we make a bet?"

"What bet!?" Shyarly asked confidently.

"Hmm..." Doflamingo thought for a while and said, "Didn't you just say that your dream is to open a luxurious coffee shop in Coral Hill? If you can really succeed in divination about what will happen to me tomorrow, I will help you realize your dream."

This is Mermaid Cove, which belongs to the 'inland' part of Fish-Men Island, and Coral Hill is the most prosperous port area of ​​Fish-Men Island, and the land price in that place is quite high.

If you want to open a luxurious coffee shop or store, you probably won't be able to afford it without two or three hundred million berry (is it berry or berries? According to the live action there is no plural form, but u guys tell me what u prefer, so far I've been using berry).

Shyarly has worked hard to earn money since she was a child, but so far, she has not been able to save a lot.

Twenty years later, it seems she has only recently opened the coffee shop, not too long ago.

Shyarly froze for a moment, looked at Doflamingo with a little hesitation and said, "Why don't you change the bet, the price is too huge."

It can be seen that Shyarly is still very kind-hearted. She has 100% trust in her own ability, so she feels that this is a safe bet and unfair to Doflamingo.

As long as Doflamingo, who has been taken for a ride, doesn't go back on his word she will win big, but even so, Shyarly was the first to object to the bet.

Lini on the side was also a little worried and said: "That's right young master, Shyarly wants to open a luxury coffee shop in Coral Hill, we have done the calculations and it will cost at least 260 million berry to cover everything. As for the berry bet, forget it.". Since everyone at the table called Doflamingo " Young Master", so did Lini.

Beckman on the side laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's only 200-300 million berry, my young master can still afford it". 

Although I don't know what Doflamingo is thinking, but seeing his confident expression, Beckman decided to help.

And Doflamingo's idea is also very simple, Shyarly's divination ability is really powerful, it can be said to be a 100% sucess rate, but he, Doflamingo, can be regarded as an "outsider" in this world, so he is also curious, can Shyarly predict himself?

If she can't, he won't lose this gamble, he'll be a whore for nothing, and she'll be flattered. And if it is possible, it means that her real ability is really beyond the norm! What does this mean?

It means that she can truly 'foresee the future'. At that time, how can her value be compared with a mere 300 to 200 million berry?

Therefore, this is also a kind of temptation and test for Doflamingo.

Considering other factors, it's not actually a big problem to give Shyarly a coffee shop after all, she will became the respected "Mrs. Chongli" (So I wasn't sure what it meant and a google search shows its a popular tourist spot, so I guess it means the coffee shop becomes very popular, should I change it or nay?) of Fish-Men island.

Doflamingo already has some thoughts about Fish-Men Island at this time, so there is nothing wrong with spending some money and investing in the future.

Seeing that Doflamingo doesn't seem to be listening to their persuasion, and his little friends also look like they are stupid and have a lot of money. Shyarly and Lini hesitated for a minute, then stopped persuading them.

"Then it's fine, you chose the bet voluntarily..." Shyarly pursed her lips.

"Don't worry." Doflamingo said calmly, and at the same time took off the ring on his finger, put it on the table in front of Shyarly and said: "This ring is worth 500 million berry, I'll put it here as collateral." (Mister moneybags).

Lini carefully observed the ring, and then said: "That's not true, although this ring is indeed embedded with very rare black gemstones, and even if the ring is pure gold, according to the jewelry market on the surface (how the da faq does she know the market prices), it is only worth at most 200 million Baileys.

"Are you a jewelry appraisal expert?" Doflamingo asked a little curiously.

Lini saw that Doflamingo was serious, and she embarrassedly said: "Isn't it okay to be a self-taught appraisal expert?"

"Okay." Doflamingo nodded, and then said: "But...you're mistaken."

Doflamingo pinched the ring, and then the group saw that the ring released several thin lines that were almost invisible to the naked eye, swaying in the air.

"This is?" Lini was really confused, what's going on?

"This ring also contains a Devil Fruit ability, so 500 million, no problem?" Doflamingo smiled.

If they talked and laughed like this before, Shyarly thought that after the results might come out, Doflamingo would quickly change his expression, deny it, or dismiss it as mere jest, possibly blaming it on excessive drinking or something similar. (Classic saving face)

But as Doflamingo now put one of his precious rings on the table, Shyarly has sensed that the blond handsome guy with a sinister grin...seems to be serious!?

"Okay, this is my bet, so now, it's your turn, Master Shyarly." Doflamingo said with a smile.

Only then did Shyarly realize that, yes, Doflamingo has placed his bet, so she must place hers too. Although she thinks she can 100% win according to the wager.

However, what currently leaves Shyarly feeling somewhat helpless is that she simply cannot match the value of the bet.

Whether it's a ring worth 500 million berry, or the mermaid cafe, it's the kind of money that she can't afford to bet!

So Shyarly blushed and said very ashamedly: "I'm sorry...I...I...."

At this moment, Beckman said: "My lord, you should be a gentleman. If you ask me, treasures are too vulgar. Why don't you bet on a kiss from Master Shyarly?"

"A kiss worth 260 million berry?" Virgo rubbed his chin and complained: It's even higher than Doflamingo's bounty." (Worth it or nay lads?)

Hajrudin on the side laughed and said, "But it's interesting, isn't it?"

Doflamingo is not an innocent guy. He himself thinks that Shyarly is very beautiful and has a good figure. She belongs to the top beauties in his own aesthetic range.

So Doflamingo immediately said: "As we all know, I am the most vulnerable to beauties, so I agree!"

Although Shyarly is very beautiful, she is actually a very innocent girl. She has never been in a relationship since she was young. She was ashamed and indignant when they suddenly mentioned this, but looking at Doflamingo's handsome face, she felt an inexplicably desire.

So after hesitating for a while, Shyarly finally mustered up the courage and said, "Then... let's do it like this!". After finishing speaking, Shyarly quickly realized, why am I feeling guilty? Am I so sure to win the bet!?

Thinking about it this way, Sharley was still a little apprehensive, but quickly calmed down.

Then, everyone saw that Shyarly took out a crystal ball and put it on the table, and then asked Doflamingo to place his hand on the crystal ball.

After Doflamingo did so, Shyarly put her hands on top of the crystal ball and began to activate her divination ability.

To be honest, during this period, Doflamingo has been carefully observing Shyarly's situation, but did not find any fluctuations in energy, it really seems that Shyarly is lying.

But Doflamingo knows that her ability is real, so it can be observed that her ability is really quite mysterious?

As Shyarly kept rubbing his hands, the expressions of the people around her also became expectant and serious.

But at this time Shyarly panicked! Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!

Why can't I see the future of Doflamingo!?

She is very confident that her ability definitely activated as usual, but regarding the future of Doflamingo, it seems to be dark, and she can't see any images inside!

Just when Shyarly was flustered, the crystal ball that was originally intact suddenly burst into a large number of cracks.

Doflamingo looked at his hand covering the crystal ball, confused.

What's happening here???

Could it be... This is a new type of fraud, right? The crystal ball is worth 500 million berry or something? Should I pay?

(Speaking of fraud, I recently saw a Youtube video where Chinese people would drop suddenly on the floor with the hope of scamming whoever helps them, whoever helps them is assumed to be responsible for paying their medical bills).

But before Doflamingo could speak, it was Shyarly who spoke first, and she said in a daze: "I...I can't see."

Beckman and others didn't feel much surprise, after all, they didn't really take this seriously. But Lini was very shocked, as Shyarly's good friend, of course she knew how powerful Shyarly is!

But after a brief shock, Lini said in surprise: "Shyarly, you don't mean to cheat the young master for a kiss?"

As soon as Lini opened her mouth, Shyarly's face turned red with embarrassment, and Beckman on the side shouted: "Young master, it's time for you to show your manly demeanor!"

Doflamingo secretly thought in his heart that he has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he didn't give Shyarly any chance to hesitate. He stepped forward and grabbed her smooth nape with one hand, then pulled her towards him, lowered his head and kissed her directly .

Shyarly whose mouth was invaded suddenly enlarged her eyes, a blush flew across her face, and she was feeling very shy...but it seemed that she was secretly enjoying it a little bit?

And thus, Master Shyarly's first kiss is gone. (It should have been me dammit).
