Recap
Last time, Roro tried to prove his navigation skills. Instead of discovering a new island, he circled the sea and brought them right back to Foosha Village. Still convinced of their greatness, the boys declared their “discovery” a success. Now, fate introduces their first rivals.
Story
Foosha’s docks were unusually noisy. Two new kids strutted into the village, introducing themselves with over-the-top flair.
The first wore a tiny clown nose and had painted cheeks—Buggy Jr., son of the notorious Buggy. He juggled pebbles and shouted, “I’m the future Pirate King of Chaos!”
Beside him stood a tall, thin boy in a chef’s apron, holding a frying pan like a sword—Sanji Jr. He smirked, “And I’m the cook who’ll serve defeat on a silver platter.”
Straw Jr.’s jaw dropped.
“Whoa, a nose-ball boy and a cooking guy!”
Roro crossed his arms.
“They look weak. Easy win.”
The rivals challenged them to a duel: “Winner claims the title of Pirate Club Supreme!”
The battlefield? The village square.
The weapon of choice? Food and bragging rights.
Buggy Jr. threw juggling pebbles at Straw Jr.—who simply caught them and ate them like snacks.
Sanji Jr. tried to flip pancakes as weapons, but Straw Jr. ran in and devoured them mid-air.
Meanwhile, Roro drew his three wooden swords and charged. Buggy Jr. ducked, Sanji Jr. blocked with his frying pan, but Roro tripped on his own foot and faceplanted.
“Navigation AND balance issues,” Straw Jr. muttered.
Still, the Pirate Club boys refused to quit. Straw Jr. puffed out his chest.
“You two don’t get it! Being a pirate isn’t about juggling or pancakes…”
He grinned wide.
“It’s about MEAT and DREAMS!”
Villagers laughed as the “battle” devolved into a messy food fight, leaving all four kids covered in flour, grease, and meat juices.
Finally, exhausted, they all sat down together, chewing what was left of Sanji Jr.’s pancakes.
Roro glared, crumbs on his face.
“This isn’t over…”
Buggy Jr. smirked.
“Next time, real weapons!”
Straw Jr. raised a greasy fist.
“Fine! Next time, real meat!”
The villagers shook their heads again.
“Kids these days…”
But the boys, now with rivals to compete against, grinned with excitement.
“Roro,” Straw Jr. said, “this is the start of our Pirate War!”
Roro nodded.
“And we’ll win… as soon as I stop tripping.”
