Above Pirate King - Chapter 155

Child prodigies, also known as saintly children, extraordinary children, heaven-blessed children, or gifted children, are terms used to describe children with exceptional talents!

In most cases, as long as a child is slightly more outstanding than other children of the same age, people will call them a child prodigy.

However, when a child surpasses other children of the same age or even several years older than them, they earn another title!

Monsters!

No doubt!

Artoria and Gilgamesh were such monsters.

Ordinary children, not even a year old, could stumble and take a few steps or speak a few words indistinctly, and that would already be considered good!

But they, not only could walk and talk but also run, jump, sing, and even fight.

As the only two heirs of the kingdom, their excellence naturally drew the attention of the ministers.

The ministers were both happy and conflicted!

They were happy because the heirs of the kingdom were so outstanding!

But they were conflicted because both heirs were so exceptional; in the future, which side should they stand with?

There was no way!

Both heirs were too outstanding, and each had their own advantages as heirs. Among them, Artoria’s advantage was being born first, and Gilgamesh’s advantage was being male.

Under these circumstances, they were really struggling to decide!

Of course, they were lucky that Arthur wasn’t aware of this; otherwise, he would have sneered at the whole situation.

Which side to stand with in the future?

It’s just overthinking!

With Arthur’s current lifespan, he could outlive all the ministers within the court, even their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons!

If they ever found some exceptional miracle like the Op-Op Fruit, then hehe… No one would ever see the scene of Arthur stepping down from the throne!

But let’s get back to the two little ones!

Although they were not even a year old, for some reason, they loved to fight and would fight almost every day!

However, Arthur didn’t stop them; instead, he encouraged it.

After all, in this world, one could be bad at everything, but the one thing they couldn’t be bad at was fighting!

This was a world where the strong reigned supreme!

So, following Arthur’s instructions, a special courtyard was built within the palace for the two little ones to fight. Each time they fought, there would be someone specifically watching over them!

This special fighting courtyard was a square-shaped, about thirty meters long and wide, with a large sandy area in the center.

At this moment, the two little ones stood on opposite sides of the sandy area, while Smoothie practiced swordsmanship on the side, but her peripheral vision kept a close eye on the two little ones.

It’s worth mentioning that the inheritance was very detailed. All the Noble Phantasms of the two little ones were given to them, and as long as they expended a little energy, they could summon them from their bodies. It was incredibly thoughtful!

Otherwise, just thinking about Artoria’s King’s Treasury would make Arthur’s legs weak.

However, considering the current energy level of the two little ones, they could only summon their Noble Phantasms for a second before becoming exhausted, so when they fought each other, they only used their fists!

“Sis, watch my punch!” After shouting loudly, Gilgamesh moved his short legs and raised his fist, charging towards Artoria.

“Hehe!” Artoria revealed a proud expression and swung her fist at Gilgamesh, who was running towards her.

“Bang!”

Their fists collided.

Both little ones were pushed back two steps.

“Ah! Watch my kick!” As soon as Gilgamesh was pushed back, he immediately yelled and rushed forward again, launching a kick.

“Hehe!”

Artoria still wore the same proud smile. She sidestepped, evading Gilgamesh’s flying kick, and when he was in mid-air, she struck him with a powerful punch.

“Bang!”

The fists struck against Gilgamesh’s body.

However, Gilgamesh was unharmed. Instead, he gracefully turned in the air, landing on one knee with one hand, and then he pushed off the ground with force, raising his fist as he immediately charged forward again.
“Watch my punch!”

The two little fists collided once more.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

…

Fists against fists, feet against feet, the two little ones fought fiercely, and dust flew up.

“Tap, tap, tap!”

At this moment, a soldier rushed into the courtyard, coming to Smoothie’s side and whispered a few sentences.

Smoothie thought for a moment and directly jumped into the middle of the two little ones, holding both of their heads.

“Alright, little ones, let’s stop for now!” Smoothie smiled.

“Smoothie-mama, why are you stopping us?” Both little ones pouted simultaneously, looking at Smoothie with some dissatisfaction.

“I have some good news to tell you!” Smoothie paused and smiled as she saw the curious look in their little eyes. “Do you want to have a real battle? With a real enemy, that is!”

“Really? Can we?” Upon hearing this, both little ones’ eyes immediately brightened as they looked at Smoothie eagerly.

“Absolutely! In a while, a five-year-old, well-trained enemy will come, and then it will be your time to have a real battle!” Smoothie looked at the two little ones with anticipation, smiling.

Indeed, Smoothie was planning to use the girl, Mary, who they were about to capture, to give them some real combat training. Mary was just a five-year-old girl, and although she had undergone some training, she was only slightly stronger than other children her age, making her a suitable opponent for the two little ones.

And with her presence, Smoothie didn’t need to worry about anything happening!

“That’s great!” The two little ones happily jumped up.

At the same time.

Cariva, oh no, Mary, was carefully executing her first mission to gather evidence through infiltration!

She had no idea that the repairman and the doctor had already sold her out, nor did she know that her every move had been observed, and she had no clue about the cruel beating awaiting her later!

“Hoo–”

Watching the patrolling soldiers just pass by, Mary, hiding in a corner, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, cautiously, she stuck her head out, looked around left and right, and after confirming that there was no problem, she left the corner and continued to sneak into the palace.

Like this, keeping an eye on all sides and listening to all directions, under the performance of the patrol soldiers, who were totally clueless, Mary smoothly arrived at a small courtyard. After a quick observation left and right, she cautiously backed into the courtyard.

As she turned her head, she happened to come face to face with two little ones, who were staring at her, and beside them was Smoothie, who was looking down at her with a smile.

Awkward!

It was extremely awkward!

Fortunately, Mary was an emotionless spy, so she immediately adjusted the expression on her face, revealing a pitiful look, and pleaded, “Umm… Ma’am, where is this place? I came in with my grandpa to deliver vegetables, but then I went to the bathroom and got lost. Can you take me out?”

“Can’t!” Smoothie raised a finger and gestured with a semi-smile, rejecting her. She lowered her head and said to the two little ones beside her, “She is your enemy, remember, you must use the cruelest means against the enemy!”

“Okay!” The two little ones nodded fiercely, their faces showing excited smiles as they rushed toward Mary.

“Ah, watch my punch!”

“Hehe, you mere commoner, as an enemy, this princess will grant you death!”
