Shopping with Shanks is really a test of observation and eyesight, because you never know when this man, who is as energetic as his red hair, will suddenly disappear.

It's not that he disappeared, but when you are walking on the road, he will suddenly be attracted by an inexplicable thing on the side of the road, and then this red-haired boy will disappear.

The third time Akales found the other party by smell, it was in the innermost part of a crowd.

Squeezing into the crowd, he saw the person he was looking for squatting on the ground, he couldn't see his expression from behind, but judging from the tight back, Shanks didn't seem very happy.

The crowd watching was a short man juggling with a monkey, holding a long whip in his hand.

"The rich give money, and the poor want personal~" Skillfully and loudly soliciting business, the short man released the little monkey from the cage.

The monkey is covered in black, with an iron chain connected to the cage on its feet. It can be seen from the black fur that it was well maintained before, but now the fur is stuck together in many places.

Neither water nor sweat would do this, only blood would make the fur so sticky.

"Walk the tightrope by bicycle, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without it!" The man yelled, took off the top hat he was wearing, and skillfully grabbed the brim of the hat and twirled it on the ground.

Someone in the crowd yelled: "You want us to pay before the performance? How can there be such a reason!"

Immediately, many people echoed and yelled.

The lively sound and the crowd's onlookers made the monkey grin its teeth uncomfortably. It wanted to escape back to the cage, but the man beat the whip on the ground first.

The loud sound of the whip not only prevented the monkey from escaping back to the cage, but also stopped the yelling of everyone present. A good juggler knows how to mobilize the emotions of the audience, "Don't worry, everyone, the show will start soon!"

He took out a unicycle from the side table as if by magic, "Monkey rides a bicycle!"

When the sound of the whip fell, the monkey should have come to perform on the bicycle, but the monkey didn't move forward. If it wasn't for the chain on its feet, it would have run away immediately.

The monkey's voice was sharp and harsh, and some people in the crowd became dissatisfied.

"Old Char, you just stole this monkey, and you haven't trained it yet!" Suddenly everyone burst into laughter.

The little man called Old Char should often come here to perform. After all, this island is full of boatmen, and almost every family has a lot of savings by relying on this technology.

The audience knew each other, and also knew the monkey brought by the other party before, and this little monkey was obviously much different from the one that had been trained.

"If that's all it is, you won't make any money this time!"

"Yes, yes, even if we know each other, we can't give you money this time!"

Sweat broke out on Old Char's forehead, and the urging voices from the audience made him anxious. He really caught this monkey a few days ago.

I thought that other people's monkeys would not be so difficult to tame, but this monkey seemed to be different. No matter how hard it was whipped, this monkey always showed a look of resistance.

If the previous one hadn't died of old age, and the gambling debts he owed on the original island were urgent, he wouldn't have brought this monkey out so eagerly.

Annoyed, Old Char clenched the whip in his hand, looked at the monkey that kept trying to escape, and felt evil from his heart, "Don't worry, the show will continue, everyone will see how I teach the disobedient monkey a lesson first." !"

The whip—it could also be said to be a cane, pierced the air fiercely under the gaze of everyone. Anyone can hear how painful this whip will be when it hits the body.

There was a bloodstain on the monkey's body.

The women onlookers immediately covered their faces and screamed, and the men were also frightened and took half a step back.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, the disobedient monkey will be obedient after hitting it a few times! It's rare to see a picture of educating a monkey, everyone should support it!"

Some people always find pleasure from being bullied, so with just a whip, some people took out money and threw it into the hat after a short surprise.

Shanks stood up, pressed his straw hat, and then reached out to hold the whip when the opponent was about to hit the second whip.

Akales frowned, with some disapproval in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

"Hey, little brother, this is very dangerous!" Old Char immediately let go of his whip, showing a look that had nothing to do with me, "Don't get close during the performance!"

"Sorry, I just want to ask, if you sell this monkey to me, how much will it cost?"

Shanks dropped his whip and raised the corners of his mouth in a grin.

"You want to buy this monkey?" Old Char frowned, hesitating a bit. He planned to use this monkey for entertainment in the future. If he sold it to Shanks now... what would he do in the future.

But... He looked at Bailey, who was very few in the hat, and remembered the deadline imposed on him by the debt collectors on the island. If he couldn't pay his gambling debts after that time limit...he would die.

Thinking of this, he changed his voice, "This monkey is my last thought from the previous one. If I want to buy it, the price..."

"How much?" Akales suddenly stepped forward and blocked half of Shanks' shoulders, before Shanks asked the price.

"Seeing how sincere and kind-hearted you all are..." Old Charle's eyes rolled around Akales' ears, and a flash of greed flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The other party is not something he can offend. Old Char has been able to safely shuttle between islands for so many years, and he is also very good at observing words and deeds.

"50 Baileys." He said a price that would not only pay off his gambling debts, but also allow him to gamble many times.

There was a cry from the crowd, and a few good-hearted people began to say loudly to Shanks and Akales that it was not worth it, for a monkey, it was indeed not worth it.

But Akales paid the money very readily, but it was not Bailey, but a bag full of beautiful purple crystals.

Looking at the quality and quantity, it completely exceeds 50 Baileys.

Old Char immediately snatched the bag of crystals, wrapped it under his coat, didn't even take the cage, only hurriedly took his hat, and rushed out of the crowd immediately.

"Yaka..." Shanks belatedly realized that he wasted money again, but he didn't like this kind of behavior, even if it happened again, he would buy the monkey without hesitation.

Akales turned around, his shoulder-length white hair moved with the movement, his ears shook slightly, and he said to Shanks in a fierce and cold voice: "You don't think you are too impulsive Yet?"

Shanks was depressed after being hit, and lowered his head aggrievedly, his bright black eyes looked at Akales eagerly, "I was wrong~"

As long as the captain admits his mistakes in time, the crew can't do anything to him... Shanks has learned a lot from Captain Roger.

"..." Akales took this trick, he sighed, and reached out to pick up Shanks' hand that was holding the whip just now, "Are you so impulsive that you don't even open your arms?"

It's just a red mark. Although old Charl exerted his strength, it was just a light touch to Shanks, who had rough skin and thick flesh and had experienced the double training of Roger and Rayleigh.

Shanks scratched his cheek, thinking it was completely unnecessary, but he obediently agreed: "I will pay attention next time! You won't just be angry about this, will you?"

"...Why should I be angry?" Akales frowned at him.

"I wasted money again just now... and I was impulsive."

"...Why should I be angry about such insignificant things?" Akales tilted his head incomprehensibly, and his ears trembled incomprehensibly.

"I won't be mad at you for anything other than getting hurt."

Not knowing what to say, Shanks acted directly, he squeezed the hand that Akales was holding him, and then took a step forward to hug him tightly.

The voice is very low, with a little rustling mute but very firm: "Me too!"
