Chapter 61 Truly a naval hero!
Perhaps it was the words of the others that convinced Franky, and in the end he chose to follow his heart and join the Straw Hat Pirates.
"I'm very uneasy about entrusting such a great ship to laymen like you."
"So... I'll be your shipwright then!"
"Great!" Luffy laughed happily.
Franky wasn't one to fuss over details; once he decided to board the ship, he wouldn't utter another unnecessary word.
Franky caught the luggage that was being hit by the Franky family's special cannon and boarded the ship without saying a word.
Just as Frankie once taught Zambry, once a decision is made, men don't need many words.
"Sail!"
"profound!"
As west Yan activated his water escape technique, the new pirate ship was pushed into the sea and slowly sailed away into the distance.
However, a new problem arose after leaving the coastline.
"Hey, Straw Hat Boys, are you really not going to wait for the other person?" Franky frowned.
"Usopp...."
'
Mary, who was lying on the side of the boat, stared intently into the distance, as if she were waiting for that person to appear.
"Ever since Sanji told me about Usopp, I've stayed inside the house and haven't gone out."
"Maybe this is his choice," Luffy said casually. "Perhaps he can live quite well here on his own."
"You guys agree, right? Hahaha."
Luffy may appear to be smiling easily, but everyone knows that he must be going through a lot of inner turmoil.
It wasn't just him; other people actually thought similarly.
"What's that guy thinking?"
west Yan frowned as he looked in the direction of the city. Could it be that that guy really wasn't planning on coming?
"boom!!"
With a loud bang in the distance, west Yan's expression gradually turned ugly.
"Everyone, get ready, all my clones have been destroyed!"
Just as west Yan was speaking, the shadow of a warship appeared in the distance, which was clearly Garp's dog-headed warship.
"Luffy, it's Grandpa!" Garp shouted through a megaphone.
"Grandpa?" Luffy exclaimed incredulously from the bow of the ship, "Didn't you say you wouldn't capture me?"
"Sorry Luffy, Sengoku gave me a death order, so I can't let you leave here like this." Garp laughed and said, "You'd better die at sea!"
"Hey, get me some cannonballs."
"yes!"
"Luffy, is this guy really your grandfather?" west Yan looked at Luffy with suspicion. Who would kill their grandson?
However, before Luffy could answer, a cannonball flew over and exploded not far from the ship, the immense force even propelling the ship quite a distance.
"Throwing cannonballs with bare hands?!" Sanji exclaimed in disbelief. "Is this the power of a naval hero? It's like throwing cannons!"
"This is much more powerful than a regular artillery shell."
"Oh no, it's happening again!"
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
"boom!!"
A massive curtain of water appeared in front of the ship, forcefully blocking a cannonball thrown by Garp.
This scene relieved Nami; at least she was able to block it.
"Anyway, let's escape first..."
"It's Usopp!" Chopper suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Usopp's here!"
"Usopp!"
Mary, who had been listless, immediately stood up and excitedly looked at Chopper, saying, "Where is she? Where is she?"
"He's on his way here!"
"Great, Usopp is here!"
"I love you," Mary said excitedly, clearly not wanting to lose any of her companions.
"Haha, I wonder how these guys will react when they see me?" Usopp said with a smile on his face as he walked down the street. "Merry must be really looking forward to my arrival."
"Hahaha, Captain Usopp will be back soon!"
Filled with excitement, Usopp rushed towards the sea, but when he arrived, the scene he had imagined did not appear. Instead, he saw pirate ships getting further and further away.
This scene stunned Usopp, who was unable to accept it for a moment.
"Hey, what do you mean... are you just giving up on me because I didn't show up?"
An excited Usopp, looking incredulous, plunged down from the height and rushed towards the coastline.
"Hey, Chopper, I'm back! Aren't you happy?"
"I'll promote you to first mate when I get back, hahaha!"
"Merry, the weather is so nice today! I'm back!"
"Hey, why aren't you guys saying anything? Answer me!"
"Let's just consider what happened before a misunderstanding. We've known each other for so long, how could those words be serious? We're comrades!"
"Usopp is calling us," Chopper said.
"Hey, Luffy, say something!" Merry looked anxious; the pirate ship was getting further and further away.
"I didn't hear you!"
"Didn't you hear me?"
The little guy paused for a moment, as if he understood something, then turned to look at the distant coastline, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Usopp..."
.
"boom!!"
Several cannonballs came, but were once again blocked by the water barrier of Xi Yan. However, the splashing water still reached the ship.
But the group paid no attention and continued to defend against Garp's artillery attacks.
"Hey, why aren't you answering me?"
Usopp, who had arrived at the beach, was stunned as he watched the occasional attacks launched by the Navy in the distance and the pirate ships gradually disappearing into the distance.
Suddenly, he realized he had made a fatal mistake.
After doing something so outrageous, he actually thought he could get away with it by pretending ignorance. That's probably why Luffy and the others ignore him.
If he doesn't apologize, Luffy and his crew might really leave, and now... this might be his last chance to return to his friends!
Thinking of this, Usopp knelt down helplessly, tears and snot streaming down his face uncontrollably.
"sorry!!!"
"I'm so sorry everyone!!"
Usopp's roar was clearly heard on the pirate ship, leaving Luffy and the others stunned.
"I was too stubborn, I'm sorry!" Usopp cried out, sobbing uncontrollably. "Even though I said I was leaving you... can I take that back?!"
"Please, take me with you! Let me be your partner again!"
Please!
"I know I was wrong, please take me away!!"
Usopp, kneeling on the ground, had tears streaming down his face and spoke words filled with remorse.
"Usopp!!"
Chopper was so excited that tears streamed down his face, and Merry was no better off.
Seeing Usopp crying his eyes out, Luffy suddenly laughed, then forcefully flung his hand away.
Usopp was stunned when he saw the arm that appeared in front of him.
"Idiot, grab my hand!!"
"profound!!"
"These guys..."
Standing high on the iceberg, watching this scene with a smile, he felt as if he had become young again.
"Mr. Iceberg, will they be alright? That's Garp, the Navy hero."
"Don't worry, they will definitely leave here alive," Iceberg laughed. "I firmly believe that."
Only after the Straw Hat Pirates had flown away on their pirate ship did Iceberg say, "See, I told you so."
"It flew away...it flew away!!"
"Hmph, so you actually managed to escape my pursuit in this way." Garp snorted first, then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, as expected of my grandson."
"Vice Admiral Garp, what about Fleet Admiral Sengoku?"
"Whatever, I've made my move!"
"yes!"
Aokiji shook his head speechlessly. If he really made a move, he could probably kill those guys with just one punch.
Never mind, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
However...: . The Straw Hat Pirates might run into Gecko Moria in their direction.
I've heard that Moria was once defeated by Kaido, I wonder how he would react if he saw a ninja.
Haha, interesting.
