Looking at the boy who was almost scared to death, Luffy stepped forward with a 'kind' face to block the door, preventing him from escaping and asked:
"You are Usopp, right? I am Luffy, a Lieutenant Commander in the Marine Headquarters, and I have a few questions for you."
Usopp was a little scared when he saw the Marines. But when he heard him calling out his name, his face turned pale, and he started sweating. His legs began to tremble as if by reflex.
'Why is he looking for me? Did he hear about my name, Captain Usopp, and come to arrest me?
What should I do? My 80 million subordinates are just bragging. They will really die if they are caught by the marine! '
When faced with danger, Usopp's brain automatically enters overclocking mode.
After only thinking for 0.01 seconds, he thought of the best solution to the problem.
Taking a step back, Usopp bowed down to the ground in front of everyone's surprised eyes, and apologized sincerely:
"IAM SORRY, it's wrong for me to play the pirate game.
I will disband the pirate group now and dismiss my 80 million, oh no, three subordinates.
Please don't capture me!!"
Cook, Ain, Zoro and others who came with Luffy all twitched their mouths at the same time.
'80 million, you are so bold to brag.'
Luffy smiled and helped him up from the ground.
"Look at you, I haven't asked you anything yet, but you confessed.
Now there is solid evidence that you are a pirate, what do you think we should do?"
"Ah? I, I, I am innocent!!"
Usopp really wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he mention pirates when he was fine?
Now, his identity as a pirate has been confirmed by the marine.
He can only spend the rest of his life in prison.
Looking at Long Nose with dull eyes, who seemed to be scared silly,
Cook walked to Luffy in confusion and asked in a low voice:
"I still don't understand why you came to find such a guy.
He seems to have no special features except bragging, and he is also extremely timid."
Turning his head, Luffy also whispered:
"Don't underestimate him, his father is the Red Hair Pirates' sniper, Yasopp.
I believe that as his son, this guy is not much worse."
The two spoke in low voices, but perhaps it was because of the sharp five senses of being a sniper.
Usopp's ears moved in a trance, and he jumped up like a spring in an instant, and said excitedly:
"Do you know my dad? Where is he now? How is he doing?!"
Luffy raised his eyebrows and joked:
"Why, are you asking these questions because you want to find him?
He is on the Grand Line, which is full of dangers. Do you have the courage to go there?"
"I..."Usopp was speechless. Of course, he didn't dare to go there. Not to mention the Grand Line, he had never even been out of the village of Syrup.
"Please."
He knelt down again in front of Luffy and the others, begging with tears streaming down his face:
"Please take me to the Grand Line. I finally heard about that guy and I don't want to miss it.
Give me a chance, I am willing to join the marine, even if I have to start by cleaning toilets, please take me away from here!"
Luffy was totally surprised that Usopp asked to join.
Logically, this guy wanted to be a pirate since he was a child, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
Touching his chin, Luffy asked the question in his mind.
"Haven't you always dreamed of becoming a pirate? Why are you suddenly willing to join the marine?
If you don't give me a reason, I can't let you join."
When Usopp heard that this was possible, his face lit up and he replied without thinking:
"My dream is to become a brave sea warrior.
As long as I can achieve this wish, I am willing to be a pirate or a marine.
And compared to this, I would rather ask my dad in person.
Ask him why he didn't go home for so many years, even when my mother died."
As he spoke, Usopp clenched his fists, full of resentment towards Yasopp.
Luffy suddenly realized it after hearing this.
In this world, Usopp's mother had just passed away a few years ago, and his feelings for Yasopp were more resentful than admiring.
The idea of becoming a pirate probably just arose not long ago, and there is still time for transformation.
"I see, then I promise you."
Turning his back to him, Luffy walked out.
"Come on, remember what you said, from today on, the toilet is yours."
Usopp's eyes gradually lit up, and he quickly stood up and saluted in a proper manner:
"Yes!"
After Usopp packed up his things and said goodbye to the villagers and friends with a big bag on his back,
Luffy planned to take him away directly.
Walking in the center of the village, he suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something.
Pointing to the conspicuous big villa in the distance, he asked Usopp:
"Do you know that family? Why don't you go and say goodbye to them?"
Usopp paused, turned around and looked back, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"No, that's not necessary. They are the richest family in our village.
I'm not familiar with them. I've only met them a few times."
"Oh, whatever you want.
But there is only one chance. If you leave, I don't know when we will meet again."
After that, Luffy continued to walk out of the village. Usopp stood there and looked at his back, then turned his head and stared at the villa for a long time.
He gritted his teeth, threw down his backpack, and ran towards the villa.
"Sir, wait for me, I'll be back soon."
"Ha, that's right."
Cook turned around and whistled, his hand on his forehead and looked towards the villa from afar.
"I had noticed a pretty little girl peeking over there a long time ago. Long Nose was also hesitant, and looked over there from time to time.
Sure enough, just as I thought, they were having an affair."
Pa!
Luffy slapped him in the face and cursed:
"Do you know how to talk? They are childhood sweethearts.
But you call it adultery? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
After giving him a lesson, Luffy asked Zoro to take Usopp's luggage, and the group set off again....
No one in the group knew what Usopp said to Kaya.
