Chapter 188 Childhood
On the main street of the royal city of Pentleras.
Two young friends are obsessed with the prosperity of the World Expo.
"Hey!~ Shanks! Come over here quickly!"
The young Buggy waved his arms and beckoned Shanks over.
Shanks saw his good friend calling him over and immediately looked over curiously.
It turned out that Bucky was standing outside a large circle of people, jumping and looking inside.
The young Shanks trotted over, followed by the two men's bodyguard, the fishman Sambel from Roger's Pirates.
Roger, Jabba, Rely, Gold, Silver and Bronze have taken a large army to the Sky Island above Pentleith. Now Roger is touring the World Expo with his good friend Garp, and they happen to come across a slave auction, so he is filled with indignation.
And Rayleigh was making love with a sexy young woman who did not want to reveal her name.
As for Sparky Jabba, I don't know why he got together with Silver Axe, maybe it's because they are both great axe masters.
The two young mascots, Shanks and Buggy, were handed over to the fish-man Sambel for protection, and they also gained some experience in Pentleras.
At this moment, in the middle of the crowd where Bucky was, a large group of people were swarming together, blocking the way.
Sambel was tall and he tiptoed to look. In the center of the room, he saw a circus troupe busy preparing a show.
The first to appear is a majestic and handsome lion. At this moment, it is facing a blazing circle of fire. The size of the circle of fire is almost exactly the same as the lion's body. Unless it can cross the circle of fire without any error, it will end up miserably.
The crowd watching also stared at the lion preparing to jump through the fire ring, their expressions unconsciously revealing a bit of nervousness, as if the lion's success or failure was a matter of their own.
However, there was one guy who was an exception.
It was none other than the young Four Emperors, our little Captain Buggy.
"Hahaha!~ How is that possible? The fire ring must have been designed. It looks exactly like a lion, but the moment the lion crosses the fire ring, it will definitely be exposed!~"
Bucky analyzed with certainty. For some reason, Bucky seemed to have a unique talent for tricks like this.
As expected, he is the future clown king of the pirate world, the four emperors of the clown world~
Buggy and Shanks were lifted above Sambel's head, otherwise they would not be able to see the performance given their height.
On the other side, Shanks looked at the circle of fire suspiciously, as if he didn't quite believe Buggy's judgment.
Suddenly, the noise around suddenly dropped, and all the spectators held their breath, as the lion on the stage was about to cross the fire ring.
“Oooooohh ...
"Okay!~"
"great~!"
Everyone applauded and cheered because the lion on the field performed an amazing performance perfectly.
Jumping through the fire ring is not really a novel program, but the advantage is that the size of the fire ring is exactly the same as the size of a lion.
This is really scary. Not to mention a lion, even professional acrobats may not be able to perform it so perfectly.
However, as everyone cheered, our Captain Buggy raised another question:
"Haha!~ I saw it! At that moment, the burning direction of the flames around the fire circle changed significantly!~ And these changes were 360 degrees, so there is only one truth - the size of the fire circle changed at that moment, it was a controllable fire circle!~"
Buggy expressed his judgment confidently, but Shanks remained skeptical. He asked Sambel, who was holding Buggy and himself:
"Uncle Sambel, is this really the case?"
Sambel, who possesses an extraordinary level of observation, can naturally observe whether the circle of fire changes at that moment.
Sambel was stunned. Why did the two teenagers' discussion involve him? He was just a ruthless fishman bodyguard.
"Uh~ It seems to be what Buggy said. By the way, Buggy has a very high talent for observation. He is worthy of being the naval combat expert favored by Vice Captain Rayleigh."
Sambel's words of praise made Bucky even more proud:
"Hey hey hey~ No, no, it's just the future world number one~"
After saying that, Buggy didn't forget to smile smugly at Shanks.
Shanks raised his eyes, not looking at Buggy, and pretended not to hear.
This really pissed off Bucky.
He broke free from Sambel's big hand and rushed towards Shanks:
"Hey!~ You bastard, why are you pretending to be so cool? Is it so difficult to admit that I am excellent?~"
Shanks wanted to confront Buggy directly, but the sailing experience since childhood gradually gave this boy a maturity different from his peers. He showed a suspicious look and said in a teasing tone:
"Well, that's right~ The future world's best naval fighter, our Captain Buggy~"
When Bucky heard this, his red nose twitched:
"Hmm? Shanks, are you being sarcastic?"
"How dare I refute our great Captain Buggy?~~"
Bucky understood completely.
"…Asshole!!~ Return all the pocket money you borrowed from me!~"
"Eh?!~"
Buggy rushed towards Shanks, and Shanks ran away with a smile. Sambel chased after the two energetic teenagers to prevent them from getting lost in the crowded and bustling crowd.
With people coming and going and traffic busy, Pentles is more prosperous than any other country in the world.
It seems that this childhood was the happiest time in Shanks and Buggy's lives...
