Chapter 398: Pure Talent

They hold a party after Palu caught a Seaking for them. Maverick is still in shock after seeing a man actually kill a Giant Seaking with just a punch. Even when Mantis serves the Seaking's meat to him, Maverick only looks at it in disbelief.

The Clown Pirates are doing their usual party by dancing and singing happily. They don't look like people who have just gotten cured of poisons and had painful stomach aches just a few minutes ago. Well, they are abnormal, after all, so it's not that strange.

"What's wrong, Maverick? You don't feel hungry?" asks Buggy while drinking the alcohol they made themselves.

"We-well, I ate a lot just now," says Maverick, still with a shocked expression.

"You need to eat more, that's a woman's portion you know," says Buggy.

"Huh?" asks Maverick confusedly.

"What you've just eaten was a woman's portion. A man needs to eat more than that. Just look at them," says Buggy while pointing at the boys who eat like hungry beasts.

Maverick gets even more shocked seeing how much they eat. The stronger they get, the more food they need to supply their daily energy. Although well, Luffy still eats more than them, that guy is just a glutton.

The curious Maverick finally takes a bite of the Seaking meat after Buggy persuaded him. Once again, he gets shocked by the Seaking meat taste that can only be described as insanely good. Of course, Mantis's cooking skill is an important factor, but the Seaking meat itself is high-quality meat.

If not for him being full, Maverick will ask for more Seaking meat. But his stomach has reached its limit and can't take more food. So he can only watch the Clown Pirates eat the Seaking meat happily.

Maverick was quite shy at first, but he gets closer to them quite fast. The Clowns being as they are can make people comfortable quite fast. They don't even try to be fun, they are just being open to their feeling and people with the same frequencies find it fun easily.

After the party goes on for a few hours, the Clown Pirates heard that Maverick is good at using the bow. So they want to see it by using some targets to test his skill. They start from 10 meters target and keep increasing the distance.

Maverick keeps hitting the bull's eye even after the target is placed at 800 m and only stops after that because his arrow can't reach that far. It's the Clown Pirates' turn to be shocked now because it's very difficult to do even using their advanced sniper rifle without the help of a scope. But Maverick did it only using a wood bow.

"Maverick, do you want to try using our weapon?" asks Buggy out of curiosity.

"You have a bow?" asks Maverick excitedly.

"Not a bow, we have some types of long-range weapons called guns. Dani, show them to him," says Buggy.

There were many cases of slaves escaping Mary Geoise. Although not many of their stories ended well and most of them ended up dead. Maverick's parents were truly lucky because the only incident when a lot of slaves escaped safely was Fisher Tiger's attack on Mary Geoise.

"Maverick, did your parents have this mark on their bodies?" asks Buggy while drawing the slave mark.

Maverick is surprised and asks, "How do you know?"

"Because there is only one place that matches the descriptions in your parents' story. It's a very famous place hated by every sane person in this world. Also, that's the place where the greatest enemies I've told you to live," says Buggy.

Maverick now remembers that Buggy told him about a place Buggy really wants to destroy. A place where people who endangered his family and friends live. But Maverick never thought that it was the same place his parents told him.

"We know well what happened to your parents and they surely don't want it to happen to you. But Maverick, do they really want you to stay in here until you die?" asks Buggy.

Maverick is silent for a moment before saying, "No, they actually wanted to leave this place too, but they were unable to do it. They, they have built some ships and tried to use them to cross the sea. But they couldn't find a way to escape the Seakings until they died. They said their biggest wish was to go home and show me the world."

Maverick said that with a very sad tone as tears come out of his eyes.

Buggy pats his right shoulder and says, "Then, you need to fulfill their wish. If you feel sad about leaving the place where you grew up and where your parents are buried, then let me tell you this. Your parents live inside you even if their bodies are buried here. Their blood runs in your veins. You achieving their wish and hope is the same as they achieve theirs. I am a parent too and as a parent, there's nothing more important to me than my children's lives and happiness. So Maverick, live your life to the fullest, and make your parents proud."
