After a while, Nami said, "The purpose of our coming to this island is to find a partner who can sail a boat and see if we can get a bigger boat!"
Usopp was silent for a moment, then looked out the window and said, "As you can see, this is just a small village, and it's impossible to find what you're looking for here!"
"Huh? Really? But I see there's a big manor on the hill!" Zoro said doubtfully.
"That, that won't work!" Usopp shook his head vigorously, then turned to Kai Vane and the others and said, "Well, I suddenly remembered something important, so I have to leave!"
With that, Usopp hurried outside.
"What is he doing?" Luffy asked, confused.
"Who knows? Maybe he wants to brag!" Kai said lightly, taking a sip of his drink.
Kai knew Usopp was heading to tell stories to Kaya. Since Kaya's parents passed away, Usopp's daily stories had been keeping her spirits up. So, telling stories to Kaya was a daily routine for Usopp. They would check on the situation later.
Thinking of this, 's eyes showed interest.
"Hakashi Kero, this is one of the highly intelligent pirates in ONE PIECE that Mr. Oda personally acknowledged."
"It's just a shame that...his strength is a bit weak!"
Just then, a loud noise drew Kai's attention. He saw three kids, barely half his height, staring at them with trembling legs, asking, "You...what did you do to Captain Usopp...?"
"Ah~ I'm so full!" Luffy said happily, rubbing his belly.
The gesture and contented sigh made the three little ones think of something terrible.
They asked tremblingly, "You won't..."
"Jie Jie Jie..." Kai and Zoro laughed evilly, then looked at them with a frightening gaze and said, "Your captain...was eaten by us!"
"Ah~~~" The kids screamed in horror but stayed silent, intimidated by Zoro and Kai's terrifying expressions.
Finally, they spotted Nami, who seemed kinder, and said, "Tigress!"
(╬◣д◢)!
"What are you talking about when you look at me!!!"
...
"Huh~"
"It turned out to be a lie. We were scared to death. We thought Captain Usopp was really eaten by you!"
The three kids wiped sweat from their foreheads and said with lingering fear.
"He just ran out in a hurry in the middle of his meal. Do you know where he went?" Zoro asked.
"I know, at this time, Captain Usopp should be..." The kids said and then ran outside.
Seeing this, Kai felt a bit helpless. Was it because he had been with Usopp for a long time? Why was everyone so impatient?
But he said nothing more and followed the kids.
After a while...
They arrived at the wall of the manor on the hill. One of the kids pointed inside and said, "Captain Usopp should be inside now!"
"Is he in there? Okay!" Luffy said, stretching his arms before running to the fence. He grabbed the top of the railing with both hands and started to climb over.
Zoro and Nami were shocked by the scene.
"Hey, you don't mean to..."
Before they finished speaking, they rushed over to hold Luffy down. The three kids, seeing this, also rushed over to help.
Mom and Dad said that when you don't know what to do, just follow what the people around you do and do it yourself!
Then...
The six of them ended up flying into the sky.
At that moment, the three kids thought, "Maybe what mom and dad say sometimes isn't right!"
Kai watched the six people flying happily in the sky and couldn't help but shake his head.
The fence was obviously so short, why climb over it this way?
He didn't understand!
Kai jumped in with a slight leap.
Once he landed firmly, he exuded a dominating aura and, sensing the familiar energy, walked in that direction.
A few minutes later, Kai arrived at his destination just in time to see Usopp punch Kuro in the face.
Oh, no, it should be called Kuro !
After Krabater fell to the ground, he continued to insult Yasopp , which made Usopp want to punch him again.
At the critical moment, Kaya called out to Usopp. Kaya, trusting and grateful to Usopp, didn't want to see conflict between him and Kuro.
In the end, with Kaya's intervention, Usopp didn't attack but walked away silently.
Kuro saw Usopp had left and said to Luffy and the others, "Please leave immediately!"
Kai was annoyed. Damn it, he had just arrived!
He hadn't even had a chance to watch the excitement. Now, they wanted him to leave?
And...
He felt a bit irritated by Kuro , which was the most important thing.
As far as Kai Vane was concerned, anyone who annoyed him would be punished on the spot, unless they were stronger!
A powerful pressure radiated from Kai , crushing towards Kuro.
In an instant, Krabater felt as though his spirit had been hit by a sledgehammer. His head spun, and he lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.
It was no surprise that Kai's Conqueror's Haki could stun Kuro.
It would be odd if it didn't. Kuro was just a pirate with a bounty of 16 million.
This kind of strength might dominate a small part of the East Blue, but in the New World, it was merely at the level of a grunt.
At this stage, even Luffy and Zoro couldn't resist Kai's Conqueror's Haki.
After all, the two of them and Kuro were on the same level right now—just grunts!
Seeing Kuro on the ground, Kaya hurriedly shouted, "Someone come quickly, Butler Kuro has fainted!"
Looking at the increasingly chaotic manor, Kai said to Luffy and the others, "We've seen enough excitement. Let's go!"
