Bab 42: Chapter 42 The Man Who Guards the Village!
Nami: "Huh? Buggy over there actually followed Luffy?"
Trafalgar Law: "Nami, being the Navigator doesn't necessarily mean that. You over there might not necessarily be the Navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates' ship..."
Scratchmen Apoo: "Buggy replacing Nami as the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates... Apapapa! I think it's a good idea!"
Nami: "No way... Hey hey hey, Red-border Luffy over there, you better step up!"
Nico Robin: "Nami, don't worry. That won't happen. Luffy over there meant for Buggy to be a guide, not a crewmate. You'll definitely join the crew."
Usopp: "That's right, none of us will be left behind!"
Shanks: "Haha, Buggy and Luffy setting sail together, that's great!"
Buggy: "Watch your words, Shanks! I'm only escorting the Straw Hat kid over there to the Grand Line because of Captain Roger's hat."
Gol D. Roger: "Wow! Little Buggy, I'm truly touched!"
...
At that moment, the screen with a white border lit up
Luffy, Zoro, and Nami arrived at the Island of Rare Animal on two small boats, met Gaimon who stuck on a treasure chest, and then left the island.
A few days later, the three arrived at the Syrup Village.
Usopp makes an appearance!
They unexpectedly exposed Captain Kuro's conspiracy and Usopp ran to the village to warn them.
"Listen to me, everyone! The pirates will attack the village tomorrow morning!"
"Please believe me this time, everyone, quickly evacuate the village!"
"Really! This time it's true... Why doesn't anyone believe me..."
...
Usopp ran around trying to save the people in the village.
But the result was...
"If we believed you every time, we would have escaped hundreds of times already!"
"Enough, Usopp! We're tired of your lies!"
"Darn it, don't run! This time we'll teach you a lesson!"
...
The villagers chased after Usopp angrily with brooms, ladles, and dustpans
They stopped chasing after Usopp only when he ran out of the village.
Tony Tony Chopper: "Ah, poor Usopp..."
Eustass Kid: "He can't even save himself, yet he's thinking about others. He's just asking for trouble!"
Marshall D. Teach: "Zehahaha!! Let those villagers die"
Usopp: "Actually, it's not their fault. It's mainly because I always lie and deceive everyone by saying that pirates are coming. That's why the villagers don't believe me."
Roronoa Zoro: "Hmm, it's true that we can't entirely blame those villagers."
As someone who experienced this incident, Zoro can understand the villagers' actions.
Nami: "So this incident tells us that it's best not to lie so much, hehe"
Trafalgar Law: "So, in a fit of anger, Usopp left the village with the Straw Hat crew, right?"
Scratchmen Apoo: "Do you even need to ask? he kindly tried to save them, but they not only didn't appreciate it, they even drove him away... Anyone would be angry in that situation..."
Killer: "Those villagers deserved to die"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Hey! You guys are underestimating Usopp too much!"
Usopp fled to the village entrance, leaving behind tears of loneliness and sadness...
At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates appeared behind him.
Usopp sat dejectedly on the ground, his eyes blankly staring at the distant sea: "I was so naive! I should have known... because I love lying so much, the villagers never truly believed me."
Watching Usopp completely consumed by despair, the three members of the Straw Hat Pirates silently observed him.
At this moment, Nami spoke up and asked, "Enough with that. The fact is, the pirates will really come tomorrow, right?"
Usopp wiped his face and sighed, "Yeah, they will definitely come. But no one believes it. They think tomorrow will be just like any other day, peaceful."
"So what's your plan now?" Zoro calmly asked.
At this moment, they were nothing more than passing strangers, at most acquaintances who exchanged a few words
Hearing this, Usopp looked lost
He helplessly gazed at the sea...
Yes... what should he do
What can he do?
Even if he has a plan, can he really make it happen...
But...
Those villagers have helped him so much since he was little...
In Usopp's mind, memories of his growth over the past decade suddenly surfaced
When he was very young, his father ran away with a man with red hair just because of the words "the pirate flag is calling back"...
Not long after, his mother also passed away
Usopp was able to grow up thanks to the help of the villagers
No!!
He can't just watch them be killed by pirates!!!
"What's your plan..."
"You're asking me what my plan is... Usopp repeated these words to himself, his eyes becoming clearer and clearer!!
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, tightly gripping his right hand!!!
"My plan is... to confront the pirates here!!!——"
"This is the only path I can take as a liar!!"
"Even if they hit me with brooms and chase me away... this is still the village where I grew up!!!"
"I love this village; I want to protect everyone!!——"
Although not particularly strong, Usopp's figure stood tall at this moment, looking towards the sea, the direction from which the pirate crew would arrive tomorrow!!
Behind him was the village he wanted to protect...
A crescent moon hung on the horizon, casting a faint moonlight over the small village
The tranquil village was now filled with lights from countless homes. What they didn't know was that in this moment of tranquility, there was already a man guarding them
