One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 949 Usopp's Bizarre Adventure
"Damn it, what's going on? Is it that big in here?"

At this moment, Usopp felt that everything around him was wrong. This building should definitely not be so big. Standing in the corridor, looking at the endless corridor in front of him and the shipbuilders who disappeared inexplicably behind him, Usopp couldn't help but his legs began to tremble.

"Oh my god, please don't let this be a haunted house."

“Hahahahahahaha!”

Usopp had just finished his sigh when the next moment, the shrill laughter of children and women rang out beside him, scaring him so much that his hair stood on end.

"Where are you going, little brother?"

At the same time, a cold hand rested on Usopp's shoulder, and a very sweet female voice was heard along with it, but this voice did not make Usopp feel friendly at all. On the contrary, all the hairs on his body stood up at this moment. Usopp felt that a certain part of his body began to tense up unconsciously. That part obviously had its own ideas and wanted to do some exercises to release it.

"What's wrong with you? Little brother, why don't you look back at me?"

The sweet voice continued, and the cold palm had already moved down his shoulder to Usopp's cheek. Feeling the cold palm, Usopp wanted to run immediately, but for some reason, he felt that he could not move his legs.

"Am I so ugly that I can't let you take a look at me, little brother? If you don't want to look at me, then there is no need for your eyes to exist!"

Suddenly, the sweet voice became extremely shrill, and a large hand with sharp nails bent towards Usopp's eyes, but Usopp was still unable to move and could only watch the attack heading towards his eyes, and at the critical moment.

"Usopp! What are you doing standing there?"

Chopper's voice suddenly sounded, and Usopp felt his whole body lighten. The next moment, Usopp found that his hand was on the door handle, ready to turn it and go to the corridor. Behind him, the shipbuilders also had confused looks on their faces, obviously they had just come to their senses. As for Chopper, he was beside him, looking at him strangely.

"What's going on? Wasn't I already in the corridor?"

Usopp looked at his hands and said in surprise, "Could it be that everything that just happened was an illusion?"
"Jason, you bastard is still alive? Great!"

At this moment, one of the shipbuilders behind him excitedly hugged the person next to him and shouted with surprise on his face, and his words immediately caused dissatisfaction among the people around him.

"Get lost! You're the one who died? Wait, that's not right. I was just discussing shipbuilding with a client. Where did that difficult guy go?"

The man called Jason pushed away the guy who was hugging him with a look of disgust, but then he realized something was wrong, and his words immediately alerted Usopp. He seemed to have just begun to hope that it was not a haunted house, which led to the strange laughter and the incident of the female ghost digging her eyes. Could it be that?
"Chopper! Did you encounter anything strange when you came here just now?"

Usopp immediately lowered his head and asked.

"Huh? No, I just sneaked over from Zoro and the others, and I saw you guys standing here motionless."

Chopper was confused by Usopp's question and said something strange. After he finished speaking, he began to think carefully about whether he had missed anything. But after thinking about it, he found that he didn't seem to have forgotten anything. "Everyone, something is wrong. We may have just been hit by the opponent's devil fruit ability. Everyone, think carefully about what you just saw. Is it the thing you are most afraid of or the thing you least want to see?"

Usopp said solemnly that it was not difficult to guess. With Usopp's intelligence, he could easily guess it even if he could teach himself to become an inventor. However, guessing it was one thing, but how did the other party activate his ability? And how to crack this ability was the biggest problem.

"It seems to be true. I just saw Jason fall off a crane while working in a shipyard. He was hung on the crane hook and died. Jason had experienced a similar thing before, but he was rescued at that time. I always have a psychological trauma during this period."

Said the shipwright who had held Jason earlier.

"It's the same for me. I met a very difficult customer before, and I just saw him again. But it's very strange. We are clearly here, but I felt like I was in the reception room just now. There was no sense of incongruity at all. It's really weird. I was thinking about saving people after dealing with this customer just now. I didn't feel anything wrong at all. The scenes before and after are obviously very different."

Shipwright Jason also had a face full of question marks, and the same was true for several other shipwrights. They had all just fallen into hallucinations. Some of them were going to die, and some were experiencing various other situations. In short, these were the things they least wanted to see, or the things they feared the most.

"This is the enemy's ability, but we don't know how they activated it. It could be a sound, or it could be something we saw. But no matter what, we must not take it lightly. Chopper, you were the only one who didn't fall into hallucinations just now. Tell me what you looked like when you saw us just now?"

Usopp's face at this moment revealed a tenacity that had never appeared in the original timeline. This might be the biggest difference between Usopp in the two timelines. After all, Usopp, who has been taken care of by his parents since he was a child, does not feel inferior deep in his heart. On the contrary, Usopp knows too much about the outside world through Jesus Bu and Banchina. In terms of knowledge reserves alone, Usopp is a top-notch existence in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"I didn't notice anything when I came in. I just saw everyone standing here, motionless as if frozen. What happened Usopp? Did you see the enemy?"

Chopper asked curiously.

"I didn't see it, but this is the biggest problem. Everyone, the situation is unclear now, but we have to set off, otherwise we will be trapped here and die. But before that, I have an idea, that is, we must split into two teams. I don't know if the opponent's ability can control two people who are not in the same area at the same time, but Chopper's situation just now shows that if we stand together, there will definitely be problems. However, if we split into two teams, we will probably be defeated one by one by the opponent. Everyone, make a choice, whether to gather together and give it a try, or to split into two teams and take care of each other. Judging from the situation just now, we will probably be wiped out if we gather together."

Usopp said as he looked at the boatmen.

"Let's split into two teams. Judging from the situation now, two teams have a higher chance of winning than one, right?"

Shipwright Jason said, and his words were recognized by other shipwrights. Only Chopper was still standing there with a confused look on his face, not understanding what was going on.

"Okay, then Chopper and I will lead a team each. Everyone, this is for you, one for each of you. Throw it on the ground once you find an enemy. Remember, plug your ears and close your eyes. This thing will emit a bright light and a loud noise. Try not to use it in a confined space, otherwise it will definitely knock people out. But it is definitely a good thing to have in a desperate situation. The way to use it is to throw it on the ground with force."

As Usopp spoke, he took out a few small black balls from his pocket and handed them to the others. The others took them and put them all on their bodies, then consciously divided into two teams. Usopp turned to look at Chopper at this moment, and after briefly explaining the situation, he turned his head and heard the sound of fighting coming from Zoro's side, which was getting closer and closer.

"Everyone, this is the situation. We have to give it a try now. Everyone, good luck."

After Usopp finished speaking, he turned around and kicked the door open without saying anything. He didn't dare to hold the door handle again. God knew whether the other party had used some kind of ability on it. This time, what appeared in front of Usopp and others was a normal dim corridor. Usopp swallowed and walked out first.
