Recently, Gomes et al. [1] have visualized the gap formation in nanoscale regions (NRs) above the critical temperature T_c in the high-T_c superconductor Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}. It has been found that, as the temperature lowers, the NRs expand in the bulk superconducting state consisted of inhomogeneities. The fact that the size of the inhomogeneity [2] is close to the minimal size of the NR [1] leads to a conclusion that the superconducting phase is a result of these overlapped NRs. In the present paper we perform the charge and percolation regime analysis of NRs and show that at the first critical doping x_{c1}, when the superconductivity starts on, each NR carries the positive electric charge one in units of electron charge, thus we attribute the NR to a single hole boson, and the percolation lines connecting these bosons emerge. At the second critical doping x_{c2}, when the superconductivity disappears, our analysis demonstrates that the charge of each NR equals two. The origin of x_{c2} can be understood by introducing additional normal phase hole fermions in NRs, whose concentration appearing above x_{c1} increases smoothly with the doping and breaks the percolation lines of bosons at x_{c2}. The last one results in disappearing the bulk bosonic property of the pseudogap (PG) region, which explains the upper bound for existence of vortices in Nernst effect [3]. Since [1] has demonstrated the absence of NRs at the PG boundary one can conclude that along this boundary, as well as in x_{c2}, all bosons disappear.
