13: Chapter 13: The Black Cat Pirates AttackDuring the days that Luffy and his two companions were resting in West Robe Village, they met up with Usopp.
At this moment, Usopp was still bragging to the town's children.He was the village's biggest braggart, always causing the villagers to panic and panic, but he was actually a warm-hearted and kind-hearted boy.He would tell exaggerated stories to cheer up Kaya, whose parents had both died and who was bedridden.
Luffy waved his hand: "Hey~ Usopp!Aren't you going to be the greatest warrior on the sea?Aren't you going to be the greatest sniper on the sea?You are just a little bit away, just a little bit away!Follow me!I will train you!I will make you surpass your father Jesus!"
Luffy "tricked" Usopp with his harmless, signature smile.
"Really?Can I surpass my father?Then I want to challenge you!I will definitely become the greatest warrior!I will definitely become the greatest sniper on the sea!" Usopp's eyes lit up.
Luffy and his companions brought Usopp to an open space in the back hills.Luffy said, "First of all, if you want to become the greatest sniper on the sea, do you know what you need to possess?" Luffy paused, and Usopp gestured for Luffy to continue.
"An excellent sniper must be physically strong, with all organs functioning well, and have strong adaptability to various harsh environmental conditions.His physical strength must remain stable over a long period of time.It is also very important that a sniper has good psychological qualities.In a complex environment, a sniper must be able to quickly and accurately lock onto the enemy, and at the critical moment, strike the enemy with one blow, becoming the ultimate killer on the battlefield." Luffy said word by word.
"Hmm!Hmm!So what should I do?" Usopp listened intently.
"Because your foundation is too poor.We will help you awaken your Haki and train your skills.I will increase your training speed 100 times.We will start when you are ready.Next, I will hit you, and then you hide." Luffy said with some playfulness.
"Eh?Eh?Is it starting already?" Usopp only felt a warm current rushing into his body, and his body felt completely different from before.
"Ding—consume 1000 transformation points to increase Usopp's dual-color Haki by 100 times, increase his training speed, and increase his physical skill training speed.1000 transformation points remaining."
"Fuck!Aaaaaaaa!" Usopp was beaten and ran away.In the next few days, Usopp was in pain and joy.
————————
In Kaya's mansion, the butler, Crohattel—no, more accurately, the leader of the Black Cat Pirates, [Baike Cro]—pushed his glasses and said grimly, "That boy named Usopp is such a worry.He's even brought back some suspected pirates.We can't wait any longer.Three years is too long.I need to seize all the property in this mansion!Soon, everything here will be mine."
At this moment, Luffy has taken Kaya's old housekeeper Merry to supervise the construction of the ship he wants to build.
At nightfall, Clo cautiously left the mansion, making sure no one was around.He then arrived at a shoreline and sent out his special signal.A short time later, a man wearing strange glasses arrived in a small boat."At daybreak tomorrow, everyone will attack Xiluobu Village."
At this moment, he didn't know that Luffy and his companions, who had finished a day's training, had restrained their breath and were hiding behind a reef, so that they could hear everything he said clearly.
Usopp was extremely nervous.He waited until Crow left before he dared to slowly crawl out."No.This is bad.Crow Hatter is a big villain.No, he is not Crow Hatter, he is [Hundred Stratagems Crow].We must inform the village quickly, we must inform the village quickly."
Zoro was silent for a moment, ignoring Usopp, who was tumbling and tumbling, anxiously returning to the village.Nami said, "Luffy, we must intervene.We absolutely must.We can't let the villagers be put in danger!"
"Ah, we must take care of it, and every single person in the village must be saved, but the key to resolving this crisis lies with Usopp.He needs to prove to the villagers that he's not lying, truly crying wolf.If he wants everyone to believe him, his lies must be effective, Liar, let me see how you do it.Besides, after so much training, Nami has made great progress, how far can Usopp go?[Hundred Stratagems Crooked], if he wants the villagers to truly regard him as a hero, and if Usopp wants to shed the nickname 'the biggest braggart', he must defeat him personally in front of everyone.Zoro, Nami, you two guard this only way to the village, and don't let anyone in.I'll go watch over Usopp."
"Yes!Captain!"
"Oh no, everyone!The Black Cat Pirates, [Hyakuji Kro], are going to attack the village at dawn!" Usopp knocked on every door, notifying every household.
"Huh?Usopp, the 'Boastful King', why are you here again?What are you talking about?Pirates are going to attack the village?What kind of joke is this?" a villager shouted.The crowd then became even noisier, with all kinds of laughter and confused insults coming from all directions.No one believed Usopp's nonsense.
"It's true!This is true!Hurry up and pick up your weapons and protect our village together!" Usopp begged, almost crying.Soon, Usopp's voice was drowned out by the noisy crowd.
"If what Usopp said is true, what will you do?Escape with your family?Or take up arms, unite and rise up in resistance?Why don't you come out and see for yourself?" Luffy used his domineering power to wake the crowd.
People looked at each other and said, "But who would believe him?"
"Whether you believe it or not is your business.He is just passing on the news.In any case, whether you suffer losses is your business."Luffy seemed calm and composed.
Gradually, some people took various farm tools, climbed up the hillside, and looked at the distant horizon.
