Childhood Anime Grand Tour

At this moment, the sky pirates had completely forgotten why they came here, and immediately shouted:

"I'm betting on my older brother, go for it, older brother!!"

Because of the betting odds, Henry and Louis didn't get beaten up like in the original story. Actually, it wasn't really a beating; as I said, it was just for fun.

Aside from the commotion here, Sheeta and Pazu had already slipped away through the back door. Fortunately, Dora knew her sons were useless and had been observing the town from afar with binoculars, quickly spotting the two who had run away.

"You think you can fool me like that? Go after them!!"

Meanwhile, Pazu and Sheeta ran onto an elevated track, waving their hands to signal the train to slow down. Since they were all in the same small town, the train driver naturally recognized Pazu.

"Hurry up..."

Sheeta was brave too; she leaped up and immediately called out to Pazu!

It has to be said, these two lads are truly ignorant and clueless, but their bravery is undeniable!

(I wonder if anyone has ever tried to hitch a ride on a train. In the last century, this was very common, so we shouldn't laugh at the Indians selling tickets. We all went through the same thing! I've never hitched a ride on a train, but I did hitch a ride on a tractor when I was younger than Balu.)

As soon as the two climbed onto the truck bed, the train driver joked:

"Baru, skip work and go on a date with your girlfriend!!"

It wasn't really a joke. In this era, it was quite normal for someone like Baru to get married at his age, considering that during the First Industrial Revolution, the average lifespan in Europe was only seventeen years.

Five-year-olds have to work in the mines, so even though Balu is only thirteen, he already has six or seven years of work experience.

"Uncle, are we being chased by space pirates?"

"Ah! Sky pirates!!"

Upon seeing this, the uncle immediately went inside, grabbed an iron shovel, and began adding coal to the furnace!

"Baru, come help me stoke the boiler!!"

Clearly, this uncle is a seasoned prankster.

Dora drove their car into the town. Although the car looked a bit abstract, it was already the most cutting-edge product of the time. Otherwise, Baru wouldn't have been so excited when he saw it.

The speeding car swerved through the crowd and came to a screeching halt. Dora roared in fury:

"You silly boys, get on the bus!!"

"Hey! The girl is inside!!"

"Idiot Louis, they escaped from the back long ago!!"

While talking, she didn't forget to load gunpowder into the shotgun. This shotgun was also made by Dora herself, with a very large muzzle, 800 mm in caliber. You should know that Li Yunlong's Italian cannon muzzle was only 750 mm.

The three Dora brothers jumped into the car immediately, and the people around them smiled victoriously, but they didn't give chase. Liu Yufei also wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by the man next to him:

"You're the dealer, you can't leave!!"

Seeing this, Liu Yufei didn't waste any time. He took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and threw them into the air. Then, he pushed off with his legs and launched himself into the air. After leaping into the air, Liu Yufei's pterosaur wings spread out from his back.

"Ah! A demon!!"

The people who had been scrambling for the money were terrified. It wasn't until Liu Yufei flapped his wings and soared away that one of them angrily shouted:

"What demon? It must be the latest type of aircraft!"

With the advent of the industrial age, people broke free from previous myths and superstitions, but immediately fell into scientific superstitions, which is ultimately a problem of psychological ignorance.

The technology of the industrial age is also advancing rapidly. For example, everyone has heard of the old European scam, the Romanian box, right? It involves putting a banknote into a box, and then two identical banknotes come out.

This kind of trick seems a bit ridiculous to modern people, but scams are constantly being updated. Decades ago, there were things like titanium bracelets and human magnetic fields. The underlying principles were the same, and people still fell for it.

At the very least, everyone is already familiar with water purifiers. The gamble is on people's blind faith in science. Frankly, no matter how times change, as long as people's hearts remain the same, these low-level scams will continue to exist, let alone sophisticated ones.

"Mom, it's that bastard!!"

Liu Yufei's wingspan grew larger and larger, casting a shadow that completely obscured the cars driving below. Dora was truly decisive; she simply loaded the primer and fired a shot into the sky.

After being attacked, Liu Yufei's body slid directly backward.

"Damn it, if only I had Armament Haki! Luckily, this wing membrane is tough enough!"

The pterosaur's wing membrane is already sturdy, not just a small layer as it looks! With the added boost from the fruit, it's even more robust. Under this kind of firepower, it poses no threat to Liu Yufei at all.

But why did Liu Yufei still retreat?! It hurt!! Although this thing wasn't fatal, it was still a firearm, and it really hurt when it hit him!

Meanwhile, in Balu, the train was still running on the viaducts. Due to the limitations of modern technology, these viaducts were simply built of wood, and it was already quite good that they could function.

Balu was frantically adding coal inside, and the steam train's shortcomings were clearly exposed; its speed was also quite limited.

The internal combustion engine had already been developed in this era, but it could only support small tools like cars. In the era of trade, it was first supplied to ships. It was still a hundred years away from being installed on trains.

"Ah! They're here!!"

It turned out that Dora's car was already catching up with them not far from the track. Actually, the car was going very fast, but unfortunately, the car was already small, and now it was carrying five people, so there wasn't enough space, let alone speed.

"It's my turn to drive!!"

Dora kicked the driver away, then slammed the accelerator to the floor, instantly increasing the speed considerably, which terrified her sons in the back.

"Mother..."

Louis tried to win back Dora's maternal love, but Dora still didn't slow down. Soon they reached the downhill section, and with a drift, she smashed the wooden sentry post next to the track to pieces.

Then the car veered off course, and the entire vehicle ended up on the tracks, putting Louis, who was already standing nearby, in danger of falling off.

"Mom, I'm going to fall!!"

It was as if it was saying, "Mom, don't you care about your precious son's life?"

Louis's exclamation still didn't bring Dora back. By now, the wooden tracks were completely ruined after Dora's antics, so Dora couldn't stop even if she wanted to.

Just then, Liu Yufei caught up from behind.

"Mother..."

Dora didn't say anything but tossed the shotgun in her hand to Charles, who immediately fired a shot, but his aim was much worse.

Liu Yufei also smiled and said:

"Haha, looks like I won!"

After saying that, Liu Yufei accelerated and overtook the car. Meanwhile, the uncle on Balu's side looked out the window and his blood ran cold.

"So this is the sky pirate you were talking about? Looks like I'm still half asleep!!"

His mind went completely blank. Wasn't this supposed to be sky pirates? What did I just see? Balu looked back and exclaimed in surprise:

"This thing is chasing you too!!"

Shida was incredibly frustrated! She wondered what she had done to deserve being targeted by such a monster. Balu, however, was the first to react, immediately pulling the valve, and the billowing steam engulfed Liu Yufei!

At this moment, Pazu was truly in despair. It turned out that not only was Laputa not a legend, but now it seemed that the evil dragon was not a legend either.

Upon realizing he was being faced directly, Liu Yufei immediately shouted:

"Princess Sheeta, please stop!! Stop!!"

Princess, dragon, what a familiar story! There must be a dragon chasing the princess behind this. Seeing this, Balu pulled the gate again.

"Sheeta, so you're a princess!!"

"Ah! That..."

Hida was completely dumbfounded! She had known since she was a child that her family was special, but she never expected their identities to be so extraordinary.

The steam scalded Liu Yufei, who was outside, and he slowly descended, landing on the back of the truck bed.

Dora caught up with them and stood on the speeding car.

"Give me!!"

"Mom, it's all set up!!"

"Watch me, hey!!"

Dora was about to fire her gun when Liu Yufei transformed into human form, instantly disorienting her. Meanwhile, Balu, seeing Liu Yufei board the vehicle, jumped out of the window, intending to separate the carriage from the engine room!

Pazu was struggling to move, and seeing this, Sheeta also jumped out.

"Shida, go back quickly!!"

Seeing that Shida was about to come out, Balu immediately shouted to stop her, and then with even more force, the front of the car and the frame completely separated! The uncle, upon seeing this, exclaimed:

"My job!!"

He's just the driver, not the owner of the train. All these losses need to be compensated, including the side tracks that Dora destroyed earlier—that all costs money!

Baru didn't have time to worry about anything else at that moment. With a leap of his small body, the car behind him crashed directly into Dora's car, and Dora and her group climbed into the car.

Liu Yufei swayed slightly and hurried ahead, while Charles and Louis followed behind.

The following trains continued to travel at high speed due to inertia. Seeing this, Balu climbed into the carriage. When Shida saw Liu Yufei chasing after them, she immediately picked up a shovel and threw it at him.

Fortunately, Liu Yufei reacted quickly, immediately ducking. As the saying goes, speed is the ultimate weapon; if I dodge fast enough, it's others who will suffer. With Liu Yufei's dodge, Charles and Louis behind him were struck in the face by the flying shovel! Double kill!

Liu Yufei immediately stood up with a mocking smile. He turned around, and Xida threw the uncle's teapot, which Liu Yufei caught—of course, face-first! (Triple kill)

Dora, no longer caring that they were children, immediately stepped over her two sons. The uncle, also disregarding everything else, grabbed an oil lamp from the side and hurled it, hitting Dora squarely in the face! Quadra kill

The train slowed down, and Liu Yufei immediately leaped into the air. Only after spreading his wings did he realize he was already at the tunnel entrance. Due to inertia, Liu Yufei crashed into the mountainside and slowly slid down!
