13 The Pirates are Coming
======================================================
A few weeks later
======================================================
As promised by the Shipwright after two weeks of waiting I went to the Shipyard to check if my new ship was ready, as soon as I entered the site the Shipwright saw me
"Oh, little brother, here! Your ship is finished and ready to go sailing!"
"Did you build it the way I asked it?"
The Shipwright looked at me proud of his work
"Yes, of course, with the extra payment we could build it the way you asked for it, and modesty aside I would say that is stronger enough to withstand some fine blows just like a bull!"
"Okay, let me take a look at it!".
Yes, the way I informed them they did it, just like the first ship of the Straw Hats crew "Merry", but with a rudder and in the place that would be the figurehead, I asked them to put a big black bird, seeing up close, that was really cool.
"Your name will be The "Jackdaw" same as the name of the ship in the game that I love the most".
(A/N: Do you guys know which one?)
Now that I have a new ship I can go faster, and I can go through the reverse mountain, and If I'm not mistaken the Syrup Island has a hillside where I can anchor the ship. That place is where I'm going to find Usopp I'm sure of it.
Anchoring in the hillside it looks like Usopp is not here perhaps if I look into the village I'll find him. Get in the village, it's a very quiet place, maybe that's the reason why Usopp has been talking so many times that
"The pirates are coming!".
I do not know where his house is located, maybe if I went to the restaurant I'll get some information because that place it's the best place to get information when it's lost
and to eat when you do not have important things to do, the name of the place is funny it is called "Meshi (Food)" literally.
In the restaurant, I found a seat, ordered a dish, and I decided to listen to the surrounding clamors until the dish came. Using observation Haki so that voices and sounds from a certain range could be clearly heard. Thanks to the skill, I could even hear the muttering of other people on remote seats.
It was easy to listen when using it, the skill filtered both voices and sounds so that I could choose what to listen to. Almost none of the conversations were meaningful to listen to.
"Have you heard? the Marines seemed to have quarreled with large groups of pirates."
"I'm hungry～. It's a meal, a meal"
"Did you hear the rumors? A Giant seaking tiger appeared in the southeast ."
"Recently, Mackerel can be fished well."
"This beer is delicious!"
"What should I order～?"
I finally managed to find the information I wanted, some ladies complaining about Usopp running around the village and lying about the pirates
"Why does Banchina's son run every day through the village shouting that the pirates are coming, he thinks everyone will be terrified and run away?"
"Maybe he's just missing his father, and so he does these things to try to relieve loneliness by doing this he thinks his father's ship will appear on the horizon"
"I think you're right, Never mind then"
"the funny thing is that he always ends up running to his house in the northwest part of the village"
I got it! Now it's waiting for him to come out and approach him. I went to his house, and I waited until he left. He is a fearful guy so the best way to approach him is by introducing myself.
"Are you perhaps Usopp? Son of Banchina and Yasopp?"
scared he took a step back
"Who are you? I've never seen you around here? How do you know my mom and dad's name?"
I can not say that I came to save his mother like this without any reason
"My name is Monkey D. Jack, I came from Dawn Island which is northeast of here. I know your dad, and I recognize you because he only talked about his son every time we saw each other, and he asked me to come to visit his family in his place because he does not have the courage to come and see you guys!"
"so you know my dad! How is he? Where is he? He needs to come back! My mom is ..."
looking at him in panic and almost crying
"What about your mom?"
"she is very sick, and we do not have the money to buy a remedy"
"Maybe I can help! If I can find out what is the illness that is hurting her"
"Really!? You really can save my mom?! I will do anything if you can save her!"
"let's say that I have some skills!"
When hearing the sound of the closing door, Banchina without opening her eyes
"Usopp, dear, did you get the herbs?"
Usopp approaches sit next to the bed, takes his mother's hand
"Not yet mom, but I brought a person who can help!"
"Who is dear? Another doctor?"
I see a doctor taking care of his mother maybe a friend? I approached and Usopp stood up giving his seat to me, so I put my hand on Banchina's forehead
"How are you feeling, madam?"
"What little hands and that young voice, are you a child?"
"Yes, but despite being a child I have some medical skills!"
I kept my hand on her forehead for a few seconds without saying anything then I took the bottle of panacea from my pocket and handed it to Usopp
"If you give it that to her by tomorrow she will be better." so I left the house.
======================================================
Next day, Morning
======================================================
As usual, after training I'm at the restaurant eating something nutritious then I hear the sound of the door opening abruptly, and Usopp out of breath asking
"someone saw a boy over 11 years old, blond hair wearing an indigo jacket, dark gray pants, and golden boots?"
Everybody looked at me. It seems like my clothes are strange in this kind of place(DBZ Android's Arc Future Trunks clothes)funny. He came up to me ecstatic
"What was in that bottle you gave it to me? I gave it to my mom, and today when I woke up she was in the kitchen making breakfast like it was a lie yesterday!?"
"In that bottle contained a medicine called panacea and it is a very rare medicine to find, and a few people can buy!"
he looked at me surprised
"if so rare how did you get one of these?"
"If I told you that I know someone very powerful in the Marines, would you believe me?"
he looked at me even more surprised and just shook his head up and down pretty fast with a big nose it was much funnier hahaha.
How he promised me yesterday now he would do anything I say, so I'll teach him how to do Soru, Geppou, and Kami-e with Zoro's weight training mode.
He did not want to train those things, but I told him if pirates really attacked the island and if he knew these techniques he could defend the people and prevent anyone from getting hurt or dying after that he agreed.
These will be essential techniques for a sniper to move without being hit by anyone and of course, I will try to teach him at least the concept of the observation Haki that I know it's hard for a kid to learn, but this way he will no longer be the useless crap of the crew
Usopp is a smart guy I think that he can master the basics of techniques faster than Zoro if he tries hard enough.
If all goes well when Luffy comes here to help fight with Kuro and his men perhaps Usopp will fight too, and perhaps Usopp will be using guns with rubber ammunition instead of a slingshot that would be much more badass, of course, this is my opinion.
======================================================
A few days later, In the hillside
======================================================
"Yes, this way run, jump and kick in the air with both legs until you can kick at least ten times! If you can do it You'll be able to do this---"
he was happy to see what he will be able to do
"Okay, rest a little while you rest, I'll show you something cool"
He sat down to rest while I put a target on the tree I walked away about five hundred meters
"Do you think I can hit in the middle of the target from this distance?"
he looked at me and then at the tree
"If you were three hundred meters away you could hit the target and you would have a chance to hit in the middle of the target, but from more than five hundred meters you can not hit the middle of the target!"
I stood with my back to the tree, put the slingshot above my head, closed my eyes, and shoot
"bang"
"go and see"
he got up and went to the tree, a few seconds later
"impossible!?How!?"
"I explain to you, that is called Observation Haki is a skill that allows the user to sense the presence of others, and a full master ability would allow the user to see others even if they are concealed from view or too far to see naturally.
When viewed this way, the user can't actually see the person with any physical characteristics, but rather recognizes the targets by their "aura" that every living being has.
This allows the user to see another person through the aura, be it behind buildings, strategically hidden, or camouflaged.
The user can also use this Haki to predict an opponent's moves shortly before they make them, thereby making the attack much easier to evade with enough skill.
This prediction appears to the user as an image or brief "premonition" of what the opponent will do in the user's mind's eye, and the damage the user will take if the attack actually "hits".
The more killing intent the enemy has, the easier they are to predict, More skilled users can predict moves whether there are ambient murderous intents or not. If trained enough, grandmasters of observation Haki can even see slightly into the future.
This Haki can also allow the user to sense and empathize with the emotions and nature of others. Allows the user to sense the strength of others as well, and works best if the user is in a calm state".
He looked at me
"Amazing! So if I can master this skill I'll be able to detect and shoot in anything from any distance!"
"basically, yes!"
"How do I get to use this skill?"
"The basic way to training this skill is to put a blindfold in the eyes, a plug in the ears, attempt to feel and dodge blows, objects, people or animals trying to attack you! Do your best!"
"I will try!"
I'll be training with him for a few weeks until he gets the basics, and then I will leave.
During the breaks in the training, so he did not lose his motivation we played some matches of target shooting.

======================================================
He is almost able to use the techniques if he was stronger physically I believe that another week, and he could use the techniques, but the way he is now I believe that not less than a month for him to learn the basic of the basic.
I called Usopp and told him that I would have to leave and that I would see him soon, He told me that the next time I see him he will have mastered the techniques.
I hope so.
