017 How Come The Whole World Is Full Of Your Acquaintances! ?

Usopp Village, located on the Moonlight Islands in East Blue, is a very remote village.

On this day, when the first ray of morning sunlight had not yet risen from the sea level, the doors and windows of every household were still tightly closed.

A familiar and urgent shout echoed through the village:

"Oh no, the pirates are here! Everyone, run! The pirates are really here!!"

The sound came from the direction of the village's North Blue shore, and as the shouting approached, everyone in the village could hear it.

"Ah, it's that little devil Usopp again."

"Seriously, he comes every day, it never gets old."

"More punctual than an alarm clock!"

Many villagers woke up from their sleep, and angry men grabbed brooms and rushed out of their homes.

The long-nosed prankster seemed pleased with his handiwork, laughing foolishly as he ran for his life.

The men chased him for a while, but gave up when they reached the village entrance. They had to admit, this kid could run really fast.

"We'll really beat you up tomorrow, Usopp!"

Leaving behind a harsh remark, the men caught their breath and went back home.

"Hahaha, in this village, no one has been born who can catch up with the great Captain Usopp!"

Seeing the frustrated villagers, Usopp couldn't help but proudly put his hands on his hips.

But his laughter only lasted for a moment, as he looked towards the direction of the northern coast with a touch of melancholy in his heart.

Pirates... when will they come?

Lost in his thoughts, a shout came from the distance.

"Oh no, the Marines are here! Captain Usopp, run! The Marine warship is coming!"

Three children ran over in a hurry.

"It's you guys, Carrot Head, Green Pepper Head, and Onion Head," Usopp said, puzzled. "What Marines?"

"Captain Usopp, let's escape quickly, the Marines are really here!"

"Yeah, they must be here to catch us, Captain!"

"A very big warship, the first time I've seen one, I've only seen them in the newspapers before!"

Why are the Marines here? Why should I run? I was just fooling everyone in the village, reminding them to stay vigilant every day. The Marines shouldn't have a reason to catch me, right?

Usopp's brain froze.

Oh right, I am Captain Usopp, self-proclaimed pirate, and these three kids actually believed me.

"Wait a minute, the Marines?" he suddenly realized.

"Yeah, yeah, a very big warship!" the three kids said in unison.

"Don't panic, the great Captain Usopp will personally go and take a look! You three, come with me!"

...

the Village, northern coast.

Because it is a very small village, there is no harbor on the northern coast, and the water is shallow, making it difficult for warships to dock.

They can only anchor a few dozen meters away from the coast.

The soldiers on the ship boarded small boats and came ashore in batches.

In comparison, the Sunny Go is much better.

"Luffy-sama. As per your orders, the combat personnel are ready!" a captain came to report.

Behind him, fifty soldiers armed with guns stood in formation.

"Please give your orders!"

Luffy nodded and said, "In this village, there is a pirate captain who is deeply hidden. He has set his sights on a wealthy family's young lady, intending to marry her and gain both wealth and a clean slate!"

As he made his military mobilization speech...

On the cliff of the coast, Usopp hid behind the bushes, his eyes fixed on the situation below.

"What... what is going on?"

A pirate ship? A warship?

Not only that, but the straw-hat-wearing young man who came down from the pirate ship is also commanding those soldiers?

The three children hiding beside him tremble in fear from the soldiers below.

"Captain Usopp, they really came to capture you!"

"Yeah, they've set their sights on Miss Kaya and even want to marry her. It's definitely you, Captain Usopp!"

"Run, Captain Usopp! You saw it too, those are real Marines!"

What are you three idiots talking about?

Captain Usopp's face turns red, but luckily his skin is thick enough that it can't be seen.

Family knows one's own affairs.

Although he loves to deceive people, it's not worth the Marines putting up such a show to capture him, right?

There must be some misunderstanding in all of this!!

Anyway... let's run first and talk later.

"It's snack time. I have a disease that will kill me if I don't eat snacks, so goodbye to you three!"

Usopp mutters quietly, hunches his back, and turns to leave.

However, as soon as he turns around, a cold voice comes from below.

"Who is it?"

Zoro grips his sword handle tightly and warns in a deep voice, "Luffy, there's someone nearby!"

I know... I sensed it with my Observation Haki from the beginning, Luffy thinks to himself.

But to be honest, this green-haired guy's perception is too strong. He truly has the instincts of a beast.

Immediately, Luffy makes a hand gesture.

In the next moment, dozens of Marines raise their guns and aim at the bushes behind the cliff.

"Come out!" the captain sternly commands.

Behind the bushes, three children let out screams.

"Ah! Don't... don't shoot!" With a cry, the three of them raise their hands and stand up from the bushes.

Usopp's face turns green, and his legs start to tremble violently.

He stiffly turns his head and, from the corner of his eye, looks down.

Those gun barrels are locked onto him, making his heart almost stop.

Normally, he boasts and deceives, saying he has millions of subordinates and is the great Captain Usopp.

But when faced with the Marines, that kind of pressure makes him unable to even speak.

The scene falls silent for a few seconds.

Only then does Luffy smile and say, "Usopp, right?"

Huh?

Usopp is stunned, and he slowly straightens his body.

While raising a white flag, he whispers, "Who? Do you know the great... know me?"

"Put down your guns."

Luffy waves his hand and grins, "Yasopp's son, I know you."

Nami: "..."

Zoro: "..."

Why does it seem like everyone in the world knows you, Luffy!?
