Syrup Village, on the outskirts of the coast.
The Straw Hat Pirates slowly docked here.
"Finally ashore."
Zoro stretched his muscles.
After sailing for so many days on such a cramped ship, his muscles felt a bit numb.
"I actually feel pretty good."
Law was beside him, smiling without speaking.
Swimming in the vast ocean, and then enhancing his Conqueror's Haki was a wonderful process. After gaining the term "Born from the Sea (Super Gold)" and becoming a favorite of the sea,
Even sailing on a somewhat cramped ship in the vast ocean would not cause any discomfort.
"Who are you like, with such strong swimming ability?"
Zoro heard this and twitched his lips, looking at Law.
Zoro watched Law swimming in the ocean, and even competed with him in the sea, which naturally ended in a miserable defeat.
For a considerable part of this voyage, Law swam.
"From here, that's the small village."
Nami held the sea chart, pointing at the slope ahead.
"Then can we eat meat?! Meat!"
Luffy excitedly rushed to Nami's side.
"Can you think about meat a little less?"
Nami dodged Luffy. This guy started drooling just thinking about meat.
"There should be a bar too. We can have a good drink."
Zoro also smiled.
"You guys are really..."
Nami's lips twitched.
"You've worked hard, Nami," Law said, looking at Nami with a smile.
"Law."
Nami was instantly touched.
Look at Luffy and Zoro, one only knows about eating meat, the other only knows about drinking alcohol.
Only Law was thinking about her excellent navigation skills.
"However, it seems going to that village won't be that smooth."
Law looked at the bushes on the hillside and said calmly.
"Hmm? There is indeed a human presence."
Zoro narrowed his eyes, and the Wado Ichimonji slightly unsheathed.
"Where, where?"
Luffy looked around, searching for figures.
"Danger!"
Zoro suddenly shouted loudly.
Then, a rain of marbles struck at Luffy's feet, making Luffy scramble to dodge.
"Swish! Swish!"
Then, many pirate flags with skull designs rose from the bushes.
"Eh? So cool!"
Luffy, looking at these small but powerfully drawn pirate flags, immediately shouted excitedly.
Luffy had always wanted his own pirate flag.
"Is this the time to admire others?"
Nami looked at Luffy speechless.
"Hahahaha! I am Usopp, the great pirate who commands this village! People praise me, calling me 'our captain, Captain Usopp'!"
Beneath the highest pirate flag, a long-nosed young man stood there, pointing at his long nose and shouting.
Usopp usually pretended to be a pirate to scare the villagers in Syrup Village.
However, he had just finished his daily routine when his "subordinate," Onion, brought him news of seeing a pirate ship.
After learning that there were only four pirates, Usopp, to protect Syrup Village from being invaded by pirates, led his "subordinates," Pepper, Carrot, and Onion, to set up an ambush here.
Upon hearing "pirate crew," Luffy's excited smile instantly vanished, his lips curved downward as he looked at Usopp.
"If you intend to attack this village, I advise you to give up! Because my eighty million subordinates will not let you off!"
Usopp continued to boast.
"Swish!"
As Usopp's boasting fell, more pirate flags emerged from the bushes.
"Sugoi!!!"
Luffy, who believed everything people said, shouted loudly.
Seeing the guy below believe him so easily, Usopp immediately felt a little smug.
"He's lying, isn't he?"
But the next moment, Nami's soft chuckle broke Usopp's smugness.
"Damn it! I've been exposed!"
Usopp clutched his head and shouted.
"You don't think eighty million subordinates can fool people, do you?"
Law looked at Usopp with a humorous expression.
The population of the entire East Blue was only so much.
"Damn it! The enemy has a strategist!"
Usopp looked at Law, clutching his head and shouting.
"Eighty million is an exaggeration, but I still have capable subordinates!"
Usopp quickly composed himself and pointed at the bushes behind him.
Those pirate flags, under the actions of Pepper, Carrot, and Onion, moved up and down, creating the illusion of many people.
"There are three people, huh?"
Nami chuckled.
"Exposed!"
"Run!"
Pepper, Carrot, and Onion, the three children, immediately ran out in fright, then ran off.
"Don't run!"
Usopp immediately cried out that something was wrong.
"Hahahaha, you're really interesting."
Luffy laughed heartily at Usopp at this moment.
"You guy, don't underestimate me! I am a man with extremely strong pride!
Because of this, people call me 'Proud Usopp'!"
Usopp heard Luffy's laughter and immediately grew agitated. He pulled out his slingshot and pointed it at Luffy.
Luffy, seeing Usopp pull out a weapon, lost his smile and pressed down his straw hat.
"You saw it just now. My slingshot skills are much more powerful than ordinary pistols."
Usopp still hoped to drive these pirates away with words.
"Since you've drawn your weapon, you must bet your life on it."
Luffy slightly raised his head. Under his pressed straw hat, his eyes flashed with a sharp glint.
"Eh?!"
Usopp was a little startled.
"My meaning is, this thing isn't a toy to scare people. Since you've drawn your weapon, you must bet your life on it."
Luffy revealed his classic villain's gaze.
And Law gave Zoro a look.
"Hmph."
Zoro saw Law's gaze and immediately understood. He then put his hand on the Wado Ichimonji, unsheathing the blade and looking at Usopp.
"Standing before you is a true pirate."
Zoro also revealed a villain's gaze.
"You, are you ready to bet your life on this?"
Law also revealed a villain's gaze, the corner of his lips curling into an arrogant arc.
Law, now, possessed a powerful aura. Just standing there, he could make a pirate of Buggy's level feel how terrifyingly strong Law was.
"!!!"
Terrifying oppression immediately enveloped Usopp.
Bang!
The marble from Usopp's slingshot dropped at his feet.
"Indeed, what a true pirate says and feels is extraordinary. So strong."
Usopp's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Ha, hahahaha!"
And what confused Usopp was that the next moment, Law and the others exchanged glances and burst out laughing.
"It's just learning as we go. We're learning from the respected pirate Shanks."
Luffy pressed his straw hat, his face full of smiles.
"Shanks?! You know that great pirate Shanks?"
Usopp's face was filled with shock.
"That's right, your father is Yasopp, isn't he?"
Luffy then chuckled.
"Eh?!"
Usopp was so shocked he directly rolled down the hill.
Law's smile was a little strange. Usopp and Yasopp looked very similar. They were related by blood. Even Luffy remembered clearly. As expected of a standard pirate in the King's world.
Subsequently, Law looked at Usopp.
Does Usopp have any terms I need?
