The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Of these four, besides Nami being the navigator, the other three... well, let's not talk about them.

Link wasn't too concerned about this issue, since he was sure that all the Straw Hat Pirates' crew members in the East Blue would be gathered together.

The key now is the second question.

That's their configuration, which is what they drive now.

Such a dilapidated little boat simply could not withstand the destructive power of the dangerous waters of the Grand Line.

The next step is to prepare a suitable pirate crew; it is imperative.

Luffy also remembered Link's words when he asked Nami for control of the treasure.

He is now eager to own his own pirate ship and his own pirate flag.

That constant nagging in everyone's ears is getting tiresome.

If you were to choose a suitable pirate ship, the best option would be to head to Loguetown, which is closest to the entrance to the Grand Line.

There, you can buy the perfect ship for sailing the Grand Line.

However, the naval defenses there are also the strongest, and they are well aware of the situation where people want to buy ships to use as pirate vessels.

Therefore, the navy will definitely take precautions against this, so this route can only be skipped.

The best option is to go to a nearby island and see if you can buy a suitable boat.

Among them, the village of Xiluobu is the closest to Orange Island and also has access to boat purchase channels.

In the village, there lived a wealthy man who ran a shipbuilding business.

Therefore, the Straw Hat Pirates, which were already in a rough shape, set their sights on Syrup Village.

Xiluobu Village is located in a relatively remote area of ​​the East China Sea.

In addition, this place, as well as the nearby islands, are of little value, so few pirates come here to plunder.

Although the village as a whole could not truly prosper, it had the advantage of enjoying a rare peace and tranquility.

Aside from the fact that every morning, a certain long-nosed liar spreads false news of pirates arriving almost every sunrise.

The town is relatively quiet.

Moreover, the long nose that loves to lie was also known to the kind villagers who cooperated with him, which formed the village's habit of getting up early every morning.

And on this very day, as the first rays of morning sunlight fell upon the earth…

"What a beautiful day it is today."

Wearing a brownish-yellow tank top, with tanned skin and a distinctive large nose, she moved about in the air, breathing in the fresh air.

"The air this morning is so fresh!"

Usopp comfortably got up from the grass on the shore, dusted himself off, and prepared to start his work for the day.

Dear bosses, I'm begging for flowers and votes! I'm begging you!!

024 Who exactly are you people?! [Seeking flowers, ratings, and votes!!]

Usopp lived a very regular life every day.

In the morning, I went into the village to kindly remind everyone not to let their guard down, and then I went to talk to Kaya about the interesting story.

Then he would boast to Carrot Head, Green Pepper Head, and Onion Head, indulging in the fantasy of being a pirate captain.

Finally, he practiced his sniping skills a little more. Well, that's his only strength besides bragging.

This has been going on for so long that even Usopp himself can't remember how many days it has been.

"If only real pirates came to visit during these monotonous and boring days."

"That way, the villagers will be able to see how my great Captain Usopp turned the tide and saved the village from disaster. At that time, the villagers will all think I'm a great hero, right?"

"【The Great Savior Usopp】? 【Saint Usopp】? Hahaha, don't call me that. If you really want to thank me, just call me Captain Usopp, hahaha."

ha!!"

With his mind filled with wonderful ideas, Usopp, laughing and joking, mustered his energy and prepared to start a brand new day in the village.

And at that very moment~

He glanced unconsciously at the sea out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly froze.

With his exceptional dynamic vision, he could clearly see a small boat slowly approaching them.

"Is it a wrecked ship?"

Usopp looked closely and found a grinning fool standing at the bow of the ship, excitedly telling his companions about his excitement at seeing an island.

Then the young man who was disturbed from his sleep, who looked quite good-looking and was also young, got a beating from his female companion, who looked like a monkey.

"Hmm, it really is a wrecked ship, isn't it?"

Usopp tilted his head.

This scene made Usopp completely disbelieve that these people were pirates.

After all, this vibe is a bit too silly and cheerful.

But for some reason, it gave Usopp a feeling that he wanted to get closer to it.

That's so strange...

Usopp shook his head and walked towards the shore to greet the other party.

Captain Usopp is just that kind of person who loves doing good deeds.

Yes, it's definitely not about appearing in front of people as a savior to boast about oneself and gain their gratitude and admiration.

It wasn't to hear the people he'd bragged about and fooled call him "Captain Usopp."

While that might feel really good... it's definitely not!!

Usopp, who was about to wave to help the ship dock, cleared his throat.

Then he witnessed something that he could hardly believe.

On the boat, the man with a silly grin on his face and a straw hat on his head had his arms stretched out in an unusually strange way!

It's like a spring!

This unexpected event made Usopp's eyes widen in surprise.

But the next second, he forgot all about being shocked.

because……

The straw-hat boy's entire body, stretched by the spring, was shooting rapidly toward them.

Moreover, given his decent understanding of sniping and springs, the angle at which the opponent was launched seemed to suggest that it was probably... directly aimed at him?!

boom! !

Before the thought in Usopp's mind could fade, everything suddenly went black.

It was as if his entire body had been hit by a huge truck.

Boom! !

The immense force smashed a deep crater into the shoreline.

"Haha, finally ashore!!"

Luffy excitedly raised his arms high, his wide-open mouth beaming with joy.

"Where are they? Where are the people who can provide us with boats?!" Little

He looked around and quickly spotted the figure beneath him.

"Uh..." Jun

At this moment, Usopp was covered in pebbles and dust, his eyes were white, and only his open mouth as he breathed indicated that he was still alive. (Sheep)

As for that iconic nose, it had long since become crooked and twisted.

It seems that the most serious and frequent injury he's ever sustained in his life was to his nose. 8

"What are you doing here?"

Luffy blinked at Usopp on the ground, "Sleeping?"

Usopp, who can't speak: "..." 3

"Idiot, that's clearly the person you knocked down!!"

Just then, the small boat pulled up, and Link, who had disembarked, saw the scene before him and sighed in exasperation.

Although he was mentally prepared for Luffy's recklessness.

But that unexpected, unpredictable action still caught him somewhat off guard.

After all, he couldn't keep track of Luffy's condition all the time.

However, despite his impulsive actions, Luffy did unexpectedly bump into someone he knew.

After hearing Link's words, Luffy belatedly realized and said, "Ah? So I was the one who bumped into someone? I'm so sorry!!"

His apology was very sincere, but somehow it sounded like he did it on purpose, which was quite infuriating.

Fortunately, the people in the One Piece world are all exceptionally healthy.

Especially Usopp, whose resilience will rank among the top in the Straw Hat Pirates in the future.

After a short rest and applying ointment, he quickly returned to normal.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Usopp, who had just woken up, saw Luffy's angry face and took a big step back in fright.

025 How about having some candy to soothe your throat? [Seeking flowers and votes!!]

"I'm Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King."

Luffy delivered his signature line with great energy.

"Pirate King?"

Upon hearing this title, Usopp, who had developed a strange longing for pirates due to his irresponsible father, lit up.

But then he looked at Luffy again...

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that?!"

Luffy also noticed Usopp's skeptical and disbelieving look, and became somewhat angry.

"Are you pirates? And what happened just now?"

Usopp hadn't forgotten Luffy's outstretched arm from before.

As he spoke, he glanced at the group, his gaze lingering on Zoro and Link for a moment.

The former carried a knife and looked like a menacing opponent, as for the latter…

Hmm, I never expected to meet a man even more handsome than Captain Usopp.

This guy was deep in thought, quite shamelessly.

"we are……"

Luffy used gestures to explain to Usopp that he was a pirate and had come here to find a pirate ship.

"Looking for a pirate ship?"

Although the small boat looked almost completely wrecked and riddled with holes, making it difficult for Usopp to associate Luffy with pirates.

However, during his conversation with Luffy, he found that the other man was to his liking, and he forgot about the recklessness he had shown earlier due to his Devil Fruit powers.

His old problem started flaring up again, and he pounded his chest vigorously.

"Looking for a ship? Captain Usopp is the best at that!! Just tell me how you want to find one, and there's no ship Captain Usopp can't find!! Back in the day, Captain Usopp led eight thousand men, sailing the dangerous seas, facing the threat of the Island-Eating Goldfish, I fearlessly... blah blah blah..."

Once you start bragging, you can't stop.

Link knew Usopp's true nature, but Zoro and Nami exchanged a glance unconsciously.

Why does this long nose, which seems so unreliable and looks like it could collapse at the slightest touch, with no muscles at all?
