Chapter 25 Recruiting Usopp
Silob Village is located in a remote sea area of East Blue.
Due to its geographical location, few people come to this almost unknown island.
So for the residents living on this island, it would seem a bit... boring.
And their best way to relieve boredom every day is...
"Something bad has happened. The pirates are attacking."
"The pirates are coming! The pirates are coming!"
"Everyone, run away!"
In the early morning, a boy with wheat-colored skin and a long nose like Pinocchio ran toward the village shouting in panic. He stood on the street and kept shouting "The pirates are coming."
Soon, the villagers opened their doors one after another.
At this time, the long-nosed boy Usopp suddenly laughed.
"I lied to you, hahahahaha!"
Suddenly, the villagers were irritated and angrily chased Usopp with brooms, pots, pans and other weapons, cursing while chasing him back.
"You liar, get away from me today."
"Stop, you brat."
Usopp laughed as he ran away, quickly leaving the villagers behind.
After seeing the villagers angrily scolding their mothers, but with no success, Usopp suddenly felt better, covering his mouth and snickering.
"Pfft hee hee hee...I fooled everyone again today."
"I'm so happy. I did another good thing today and added a little excitement to this boring village."
At this time, Usopp suddenly noticed four figures walking from the direction of the coast.
"He's someone I've never seen before. He's not from this village."
Usopp could tell at a glance that these people were outsiders and muttered.
"Is it a pirate?"
Usopp carefully identified the four people. One of the four was a cute girl who was fashionably dressed, one was wearing a straw hat and didn't look like a bad guy, and the other was a beautiful girl with an proud figure and a bit of an eccentric look. Except for the scary green algae head with three knives on his waist, the others all look like good people!
Usopp quickly made a conclusion in his mind for these people.
After realizing that there should be no danger, he bravely showed his face and jumped out.
Arriving in front of a few people, Usopp put his hands on his hips and said with great momentum.
"Who are you? What are you doing in this village?"
"I am Captain Usopp, a brave warrior responsible for protecting this village, with three thousand men."
"So I advise you not to have strange thoughts about this village, otherwise my three Senju will definitely not let you go."
In the original novel, only Luffy would be deceived by Usopp's cheap lies.
Now, all four of them looked at Usopp with completely unmoved expressions.
This quickly made Usopp feel weak, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he began to tremble when he spoke.
"Hey! Don't you...don't believe me? My three Senjus are lurking around here!"
As Usopp spoke, three children appeared in his mind.
These are his three Senju.
At this time, Luffy spoke.
"We are pirates."
When he heard these words, Usopp suddenly felt a chill on his back, his expression became extremely nervous, and he subconsciously wanted to run away.
But I heard Luffy continue.
"I heard that there is a wealthy family here who is engaged in shipping business. We want to buy a pirate ship."
"You should know who this family is, right Usopp?"
Luffy raised his eyebrows when he said the next sentence, as if he knew what Usopp was thinking.
Usopp didn't know why he felt like he was being seen through.
He had already planned to run away, but when he heard Luffy talking about a wealthy family, he was stunned.
Isn't there just one big family in this village?
Thinking of that wealthy family, Usopp couldn't help but picture a frail blonde girl.
"We must not let these pirates get close to Kaya!"
This was Usopp's only thought at this time.
Pirates are dangerous and he can't let them hurt Kaya.
"Ha...haha, you have found the wrong person. There are no rich families here, so please come back!"
Usopp lied awkwardly, turned around and prepared to leave, going to inform the people in the village and Kaya.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the man behind him say.
"Usopp, do you want to be a pirate?"
This question made Usopp stop immediately.
Being a pirate is what he has always dreamed of.
However, he had no idea how to take this step.
Especially since the one who invited him now was a pirate group that he had just met and didn't understand at all.
"I know your father Yasopp, he is a very powerful pirate!"
Luffy sighed with emotion.
Usopp turned around suddenly when he heard this and said in surprise.
"What? Have you seen my father? Where is he now?"
At this time, Uta on the side suddenly reacted and spoke.
"Souga! Why do you look so familiar to Usopp? It turns out you are Yasopp's son!"
"When I was in the Red Hair Pirates, Yasopp took great care of me."
Hearing that another person said he knew Yasopp, Usopp's trust in this group of people increased greatly.
"Your father is a sniper for the Red Hair Pirates. He should be somewhere on the Grand Line now!"
Luffy answered Usopp's question.
Then he continued.
"How about it? Do you want to be a great sea warrior like your father?"
"Come with us to the Grand Line."
Although in the original work, Usopp was timid and cowardly in the early stage, he was still good when he grew up in the later stage.
And the most important thing is that Usopp's words are not unfounded. He has repeatedly shown his power in desperate situations and helped Straw Hat Crew out of danger.
So Luffy still wants to take him as a crew member.
And he was counting on Usopp to help him study the [Buggy Bullet] design drawing he took from Buggy.
Usopp's bag contains various gunpowder weapons, and he must have some knowledge in this area.
Then use heaven-defying comprehension to assist him, and it shouldn't be a big problem to research a cannonball.
After hearing his father's name from Luffy's mouth and being invited again, Usopp was extremely moved.
If he misses this opportunity, he doesn’t know if anyone will invite him next time.
"If you come with us, you will have a chance to meet your father!"
"The Red Hair Pirates are a large pirate group famous in the Grand Line. Ordinary pirates can never see their faces."
Uta saw that Luffy wanted to recruit Usopp, so he added jealousy next to him.
I have to say that the name Yasopp is still very useful.
Usopp originally wanted to go to sea to follow in his father's footsteps. The thought of meeting his father made him completely excited.
"Okay! I'll join you."
