An unexpected incident
Meli was so excited that his attention was focused on shooting, and several tentacles came on stage at the same time, clapping wildly.
"Busang! Lusang! You guys are so amazing!"
Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu stood in front of the shooting booth, and frantically pulled the triggers amid bursts of exclamations.
Soon, more than half of the balloons on the wall were blown away. There was jubilation in front of the shooting booth, and the crowd was packed around it.
Beckman turned his head sharply, staring at the crowded crowd with sharp eyes.
Amidst the curious, excited, confused, and amazed gazes of the crowd, he keenly sensed an uncomfortable malice mixed in.
Like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.
"What's wrong?" Gulishati noticed Beckman's abnormality and looked at him in confusion.
"Something feels wrong. It seems like someone is following us." Beckman glanced at the crowd around him warily.
When the others heard Beckman's words, they looked around but found nothing.
"There are so many people here, are you sure?"
Beckman retracted his gaze: "Maybe it's my illusion, but everyone should still be careful."
"Perhaps someone has recognized our identities. After all, the heads here are worth two billion."
"Hahaha, which little thief dares to target us? I guarantee they won't be able to return."
"Don't worry. If it's the navy, with so many people here, they won't dare to take action. If it's pirates, haha, there aren't many pirates who can defeat us."
"That's right. If any fool dares to come here, he'll be beaten to a pulp."
......
Although he had known for a long time that Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu were good marksmen, Meli still watched them with sparkling eyes and a face full of admiration.
It excitedly grabbed Uta's arm, and couldn't stop sighing in its heart: "As expected of Usopp's father! His shooting skills are really amazing! And Lucky Lu! His cooking is super delicious, but I didn't expect his shooting skills to be super good too!"
Uta was equally excited: "Everyone is so awesome! I want to learn shooting too!"
"Hahaha~ No problem, you can learn when you grow up a little bit." Shanks laughed. He had said before that he wanted Uta to learn shooting, but unfortunately Beckman stopped him because he was too young.
Gulixiati laughed and said, "Rusang and his men are sharpshooters who can even shoot flies flying through the air. This kind of motionless balloon is nothing to them."
Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu calmly continued to pull the trigger, shot after shot, and the balloons burst one after another.
The shooting stall owner standing next to the stall had an expression more interesting than the balloons bursting on the wall.
At first, the shooting stall owner was very happy to see a large group of people coming, thinking that he would make a lot of money tonight.
Unexpectedly, Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu succeeded in making the boss's face turn from red to blue, then to white, and finally to tears.
He looked at the balloons that kept popping in front of him, and he kept wondering: Such a powerful person is not someone he can afford to offend. Is he going to go bankrupt today?!
The owner of the shooting stall had frustrated eyes and muttered in a low voice: Otherwise, he should change his career and do some other business. In this kind of business, as long as a good shooter comes, all the money he has earned before will be wasted.
The balloons on the wall were soon all blown out. Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu put away their gas and guns, but they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
"Hahaha, a piece of cake."
Jesus looked at the boss and said jokingly, "Boss, you said that if we hit 50 shots, we'll get first prize. We hit hundreds of shots, how is the reward calculated?"
The shooting stall owner came over with a wry smile, looking helpless but not daring to resist. He could only pray silently, "Can you guys please stop playing? Otherwise, he's really going to go bankrupt!"
"This is the super special prize," the boss was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He pointed at the prize rack and said flatteringly, "You can take any prize here."
The prize shelf is filled with a variety of cute dolls of different sizes, attracting every child who passes by.
Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu were not interested in the dolls, but they understood the boss's expression and deliberately stood in front of the prize shelf, pretending to choose.
“This one is good, this one is good, this one is also good…”
As they commented, the boss's face became worse and worse, and he was sweating profusely due to nervousness: Why are two grown men so concerned about these cute dolls?
"But these things are useless to us," Jesus Bu suddenly laughed and patted the stall owner on the shoulder. "Uta, Meli, go pick out the prizes you like."
"Great!" Uta and Meli cheered in unison and ran to the prize shelf impatiently.
Without any hesitation, Merry went straight to a white goat doll, which was also a hat that could be worn on the head. Its appearance looked very similar to the bow of the former Merry, and it was particularly cute.
Uta carefully selected the dolls on the shelf and finally chose the angel wings on the top.
That was the most exquisite and beautiful prize among the stall’s prizes. It was decorated with shiny feathers and could be carried on the back, making you feel like you had turned into an angel with beautiful wings.
The two little guys each chose a prize they liked and touched it again and again with great joy.
Laqi Lu asked with a smile, "Have you chosen everything? Is there anything else you want?"
"This is enough for me." Merry put on the goat hat and his eyes turned into crescents with joy.
"Hehe, that's enough for me," Uta happily sang the nursery rhyme she made up, "I have a pair of beautiful little wings, and I'm a happy elf~~~"
Meli couldn't help but hum a few lines along. The two little guys' happiness was very simple and they were easily satisfied.
The stall owner was relieved to see that they only won two prizes. He thought he would lose everything today.
After all, Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu's shooting skills are amazing, and the dolls on the trophy shelf are so tempting.
If these two children want to take all the dolls away, the stall owner believes that this group of seemingly fierce men will definitely find a way to fulfill their wishes!
Now, I can finally let go of my worries.
The stall owner quickly put on a smile and praised, "You have excellent taste! These two are the finest items from my stall. They suit you very well. You look so beautiful in them! Especially this little girl, she looks like a fairy from heaven..."
Compliments poured in to Uta and Meli, making them feel ecstatic.
Uta and Meli had never seen such a scene before. There was a hint of shyness in their eyes, but they couldn't hide the smiles on the corners of their mouths.
"Okay, that's it." Seeing this, Gulixiati hurriedly interrupted the stall owner's praise, "The fireworks are about to start, let's go."
"Let's go watch the fireworks~~"
Shanks and his group left the shooting stall and headed towards the top of the mountain, the best viewing spot.
As Gulixiati walked away, he warned, "Uta-chan, Meili-chan, if you meet someone like the shooting stall owner next time, remember to stay away from him."
"Why?"
"Don't trust a man's sweet words. That boss is actually deceiving you for greater profit..."
Uta and Meli still didn’t quite understand, but Gulishati said that for their own good, so it was definitely right to listen to her!
"Ohhh. We get it."
A loud bang exploded in the night sky, instantly suppressing the noise of the crowd.
"Swoosh—Bang—"
Everyone raised their heads at the same time, their eyes fixed on the night sky.
"The fireworks have begun!"
In the night sky, huge fireworks soared into the sky, tearing the darkness apart. Countless tiny sparks bloomed and then flew around, drawing brilliant rays of light, pouring down like a meteor shower, sprinkling on the earth, like a dream.
One firework after another rushed into the sky and bloomed one after another, flashing a bright and colorful beautiful picture that was dazzling to the eyes.
The blooming of each firework is accompanied by exclamations, and people's faces are reflected with colorful lights and shadows, revealing indescribable beauty and touching moments.
The whole world seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone was immersed in the beauty of the fireworks, forgetting their worries.
No one noticed that several figures disappeared silently among the crowd.
Fireworks are short-lived, but the beautiful memories will remain in our hearts forever.
As the last firework faded into the night sky, the night returned to tranquility again.
This silence did not last long. After a while, the noise rose again among the crowd.
People woke up from their intoxication, walked out of the venue with satisfied smiles on their faces, and enthusiastically discussed the grand event that had just happened.
"The fireworks are so beautiful. We will come to watch again in the future!"
"The fireworks festival is held every three years. We can come again in three years."
"marvelous!!!"
The two little ones, Meli and Uta, were also not satisfied. They sat on the shoulders of Shanks and Beckman respectively, chatting away.
There was a sudden commotion among the crowd in front.
Shanks craned his neck curiously. "What happened up ahead?"
Snake, who was over two meters tall, saw the quarrel in front of him at a glance. He said helplessly, "Two people suddenly started arguing."
Merry climbed from Beckman's shoulders to the top of Snake's head, where the view was better.
It looked at the two people arguing curiously: "Why are they arguing?"
"Who knows." Snake shrugged. "There are so many things that can cause quarrels for no reason."
The noise of the quarrel grew louder and louder, and the two men seemed to be arguing because of a physical collision.
The kind-hearted people nearby tried to stop them, but were pushed back instead, making the quarrel even more intense.
One of them accidentally touched the torch on the stall next to him, sparks fell onto the stall, and flames quickly jumped up.
"Oh no, there's a fire ahead." Snake reported the progress of the unexpected situation ahead in real time.
"What? These people are really like that! Can't everyone just give in?" Gulixiati complained a few times and then asked, "Did anyone go to put out the fire?"
The crowd was attracted by the quarrel and was in chaos. No one noticed the fire on the stall. Only the stall owner was frantically searching for something to put out the fire.
"The stall owner is saving... Oops!"
The flames spread quickly and soon covered the entire stall.
A heat wave hit, flames shot up into the sky, and the people around suddenly woke up and discovered the fire next to them.
"Fire!"
"Run away!"
