The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of breathing was clear. Everything that happened in the next scene and everything that Usopp experienced was completely beyond their comprehension.
In the Arlong Park, facing the fish-man monster whose saliva could shoot down trees, Usopp held a small slingshot and defeated it with his wisdom!
On the small garden island, resembling a primeval forest, Usopp talked and laughed with two giant warriors, as close as friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
In the smoke-filled desert of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Usopp, appearing to rise from a pool of blood, defeated a powerful killer combination from the Grand Line despite his broken bones.
At Enies Lobby, one of the three major institutions of the World Government, facing the threat of senior government officials, Usopp used a brilliant Firebird Star to penetrate the flag of the World Government and declared war on them. Standing atop the tower, he maintained his sniping ability with a hundred percent accuracy, even at a super long distance!
Every battle, he was so reluctant. Every battle, he was bruised all over... But in every battle, he achieved the final victory! Little Usopp was terrified of seeing his future on the brink of death, but he was excited because he became a brave sea warrior.
His feats were displayed in front of everyone like a god. Unlike watching a video, in Leo's illusion, he imitated the aura of everyone below. These people were well-known figures in the new world, and the momentum they released was not something that ordinary people like Kaya's father could bear! At this moment, these strong men were in awe of Usopp as if he were a god. This made their hearts tremble violently.
"Usopp's future is so bright!?" They all cast their eyes on Usopp. Just now, they thought that this kid's favour with Miss Kaya was simply a blessing from his past life. But now, looking at Usopp again, everyone suddenly felt that this pair was so well matched. Even Kaya's father's pupils were fluctuating violently. He looked at Usopp, then at Kaya...
A strange thought suddenly rose in his heart: "Such a person will become my son-in-law!?... Am I worthy?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and Kaya's father made a decision instantly! If he could attract such a person to join his family, it would definitely elevate his industry to a higher level!
Finally, amidst the cheers of "GOD Usopp," everyone's consciousness returned to their bodies. The scene in the reception room reappeared before their eyes, as if they had just had an illusory dream. But everything they had just seen was deeply engraved in their memory and could not be forgotten.
"Usopp..." Kaya's father suddenly stood up, walked towards him with an apologetic look, and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. My house was just robbed this morning, and I was quite nervous. I hope you can forgive me." After saying that, Kaya's father bowed slightly to Usopp.
"Ah... this..." Usopp shyly touched the back of his head, a little overwhelmed by the situation.
Kaya's father, seemingly expecting this, slowly stood up, looked at Leo, and showed a kind and friendly smile to Usopp. "Usopp, I admire your courage and tenacity! Although what Lord Leo showed us was you in the future, I believe you are the same now. Therefore, I have an unwelcome request..." Kaya's father paused abruptly.
Usopp quickly waved his hand and said embarrassedly, "We are from the same village, uncle. If you have anything to say, just tell me." He had never been respected so much before, and at this moment, his heart could only be described as "overjoyed."
Kaya's father looked at him solemnly and said slowly, "I want to hire you as the security consultant of the Kaya Chamber of Commerce, with an annual salary of 10 million Baileys, which will increase year by year according to the future situation... I don't know, are you willing?"
"..."
"...…"
After Kaya's father finished speaking, the whole reception room became quiet again. The housekeeper and the guards looked at Kaya's father in astonishment. Although they knew that Usopp would definitely be worth the price after seeing the future, he was only a 14-year-old child now! A 14-year-old child, no matter how outstanding he would be in the future, was not worth 10 million Baileys now! What's more, after seeing the wonderful future, how could Usopp be content to live in the East Blue Sea as a senior bodyguard when he grows up?
However, if Kaya's father knew their thoughts, he would only show contempt and ridicule their vision and courage. He would tell them loudly, "That's why I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and you are only butlers and guards!"
Who is Usopp!? Others only saw his future achievements, but no one noticed the deeper things. The future Usopp indeed shone like a morning star... But the dimensional merchant who could let them see the future was even more powerful and mysterious! Their eyes were attracted by Usopp in the picture; only Kaya's father had been thinking about how to get on the dimensional merchant's ship! Although he didn't know how to please Leo, since Leo recognized Usopp so much, he should show more recognition! What's more, what is some Bailey? After experiencing the morning's events, Kaya's father no longer regarded money as so important. Especially after seeing the terrifying power of the Grand Line, he realized that only those with power are worthy of living a stable life in this world. And the dimensional merchant is the one who can bring him power.
"I..." Faced with the olive branch thrown by Kaya's father, Usopp hesitated. He is not ungrateful. His extremely negative mentality prevents him from being arrogant just because he sees the future's glory. Such a rich boss has invited him with such a sincere attitude. Logically, he should not refuse.
But... Usopp also knows that he can't reach that position at the moment, and he doesn't deserve such a high salary. After thinking about it, he decided to refuse.
"Sorry..." He opened his mouth to refuse...
But at this moment, Leo, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "You two, before you discuss and decide, why don't you listen to my trading rules first?"
