Chapter 393
At this moment, in the dim light, the Straw Hat group, except Robin whose whereabouts are difficult to know, are all gathered here to determine the major event related to the group’s direction, that is, the abandonment of the partner Merry problem.
Seeing everyone’s silence and expressions, Usopp said suspiciously: “We lost that 200 million Berry, can the Merry not be repaired? Right, Luffy, the cost of a first-cla.s.s shipyard is also very high, is that it?”
Looking at Usopp still deceiving himself there, Luffy closed the catalog in his hand and shouted: “It has nothing to do with the money.”
Usopp, who couldn’t bear the news, shouted with excitement, “Why! You want to say meaningless words like changing ships?!”
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Zoro had to stand up to stop the agitated two, “Hey, what are you two doing, don’t get so close, okay? Calm down and talk.”
However, in this case, the two of them carry things beyond what ordinary people have. Whether Luffy made this decision or Usopp who heard the news, they both feel sad.
Usopp still shouted excitedly: “How can you calm me down?! The captain is talking stupid! As the captain, he casually made the decision to change the ship!”
“How is it ‘casually’! I have to make a decision!”, making this decision makes Luffy feel the same heartache.
If the Merry can be repaired, no matter how much it cost, Luffy will not give up. But the world’s first-cla.s.s boatmen have already explained that the Merry has reached the end, and it cannot be repaired in any way.
Abandoning partners is no less than the most painful thing for Luffy. In fact, the pain in his heart is not lower than Usopp.
“I’m very upset now, Luffy. What is it for? Give me a reason. Is it because I lost the 200 million Berry? In that case, I will get 200 million Berry and repair the Merry again!”
Faced with Luffy’s persuasion, Usopp directly seized the catalog in his hand and threw it on the ground. The green veins burst out, showing what extent Usopp had exposed in his heart.
On the side, Lin Tian, who was watching this scene, couldn’t help but sighed deeply. This situation had been antic.i.p.ated before, so when he understood that the Merry had no hope of being repaired, he just buried this deep in his heart, not at all said it, just don’t want to come to this scene.
Especially after going through that incident, he didn’t protect the 200 million Bailey, and he felt guilty, hating himself for not being strong enough. Hearing this news immediately, one can imagine his mood.
“Forget it, Luffy” After thinking for a while, Lin Tian still said: “Tell the reason, it’s useless to hide at this time.”
Clenching his fists tightly, after a long silence, Luffy whispered: “That…that’s because the Merry can’t be repaired.”
However, what happened next was beyond everyone’s expectation, even if Lin Tian had the worst plan, things actually evolved to that point.
“AHH!” Usopp can’t stand it. Shouting excitedly here, as if it is everyone’s hope to discard the Merry, he is the only one who values the Merry.
Lin Tian punched flying Usopp, fiercely fell on the deck, “Idiot. Don’t you think that everyone doesn’t care about the Merry? No one in the room suffered less pain than you.”
“Why?” Usopp covered the blood at the corner of his mouth, and got up from the ground, “You guys are going to abandon Melly, why are you in pain?”
As soon as the words came out, everyone’s expressions changed, Usopp, can he say such things by venting his anger without taking his partners seriously.
bang!
As soon as these words came out, Luffy, as the captain, got up and put Usopp fiercely on the deck and yelled: “Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?! Everyone is in pain. I made this decision. If you don’t agree, then the ship will…”
Aware that he had said something wrong, Luffy stopped speaking quickly, but was. .h.i.t by Usopp’s sneak attack and knocked out, and even crashed the table.
In Lin Tian’s heart, immediately lumped up a bit. Now that they are in this situation, they can’t even understand their feelings clearly, and they all speak such nonsense, and things will lose control in the end.
Sure enough, before Luffy apologized, Usopp fell to the ground, but said calmly: “No, it doesn’t matter, that’s your truth! Just abandon your companions and move on.” Struggling to stand up, Usopp said solemnly: “Since you are going to abandon the Merry, then abandon me as well why don’t you! No, I’m really serious. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. To be honest, I can’t keep up with you guys who are as tough as monsters. I can’t even take care of the money like today…”
Usopp said something, but he said his aspirations until now. Since joining this group, the weakest people are him and Nami. Chopper is still a Devil Fruit Ability User and the ship doctor. And Nami is a powerful navigator.
He doesn’t seem to be of much use on the ship. He often supports everyone on his back and can only work as a ship repairer part-time.
What happened to the Merry at this moment has confirmed Usopp with him. Will he wait for that day to come? If he is as useless as the Merry, he will be abandoned by Luffy and the others.
Opening the door of the ship, Usopp stood outside the door, stopped his walking, and was silent for a long time before speaking.
“From today, I am not a member of this Pirates.”
Leaving the people who had not yet reacted from it, Usopp had already walked towards the outside, and the setting sun stretched his back very long, lonely… and so lonely.
Looking at the figure that was slowly leaving, Luffy clung to the edge of the boat with both hands, his eyes kept flashing, it was definitely not what Luffy hoped for when things became like this, but there was no need to stop him now.
When a man really makes up his mind, who can stop him, even if he died, he should not be afraid of it!
Stopping on the sh.o.r.e, Usopp stopped, turned around, extended the hand pointed towards Luffy,
“Luffy, I can’t be with you anymore. In the end, I have to trouble you. This ship really belongs to captain. In this case, let’s fight, Monkey D. Luffy.”
Heaven and Earth are silent at this moment. Who can realize the pain and anger in Luffy’s heart at this moment, the blue veins on his forehead are high and the fingers are deeply plunged into the wood.
“Tonight, I will be here again. I will defeat you and take away the Merry, and then our fate will end here.”
…
Night fell, time turned, it was already ten o’clock, and the final battle finally came.
“Killing Tomato Juice”
Usopp’s sudden tomato juice can only fool Luffy this guy. Lifting head, it is full of fighting intent and indifferent eyes, let Luffy couldn’t help shaking.
As if expecting Luffy’s movement, Usopp stretched out the right hand in his pocket, suddenly pulled out a shining sh.e.l.l, and pressed it at the same time.
The dazzling light emanated from the front, and the forced Luffy had to stop the attack, block his eyes, and push towards the back, and these were all in Usopp’s plan.
Take out the slingshot and shoot out several eggs in an instant, all hitting Luffy’s body, “Killing rotten egg star, star, star!”
Smelling the smell coming from her body, Luffy couldn’t help cursing angrily: “Guh, can’t you fight serious?!”
Reaching out and fumbling in his back pocket, Usopp gritted his teeth and said, “Do you think it’s absurd? But this is my battle, remember what Lin Tian told us? There is no good way to fight, only defeating enemy!”
On the Merry, Lin Tian’s eyes showed a gratifying color. At this time, Usopp was what he expected, fighting like a real man, but the price was too high.
Quickly took out an object from his pocket, accurate and quick launching technique, directly hit Luffy’s mouth that happened to be opened more than ten meters away, “Pepper Star.”
Endless spiciness emanated from his mouth, his lips turned red in a blink of an eye, and his mouth was filled with scorching fire. With that strong spiciness, the spiced Luffy could not stand still and fell to the ground.
“Ah!!!”
Screams sounded from the mouth of Luffy who fell to the ground. At some point, Usopp threw countless iron nails around, and pain came from all over the body.
But this kind of pain was of little use to Luffy, who often experienced life and death battles. He suddenly stood up from the ground, stepped directly on the nail with his feet, and rushed towards Usopp.
“Have you not noticed something wrong, Luffy?” Usopp said calmly, standing there.
After Usopp’s reminder, Luffy immediately found out, smoke! Suddenly there was a lot of smoke, and when he turned his eyes, he saw something emitting smoke beside him.
Holding the slingshot high, aiming at Luffy, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, “Now you are all filled with gas, I’m sorry, Luffy. Gunpowder star.”
The gas scattered around was ignited by the flames, and with a bang, a huge explosion sounded on the sh.o.r.e, and the resulting fire light instantly illuminated the entire coast.
Looking at the ground that was scorched by the explosion and the smoke that was constantly emitted, Usopp said calmly: “Luffy, I know this kind of attack is of little use to you.”
Next, Usopp, who hadn’t seen each other for a few hours, seemed to be a different person. Using the sh.e.l.ls from the Skypiea and his previous preparations, Luffy suffered a big loss.
It is a pity that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and it is not so simple and easy to make up for it. Earlier, the opponent was caught off guard, but Luffy seized the opportunity and was defeated in an instant.
Kneeling on the ground, facing Usopp who was knocked to the ground in front of him, Luffy clenched his fists and let out a painful scream.
“How could you be my opponent!”
Standing up from the ground, Luffy walked towards the Merry without the slightest hesitation. At this point, there was no need to say anything, and the two sides were no longer partners on the same boat.
