"We really are looking for a suitable pirate ship." At this moment, Reno stepped forward and said.
Hearing Reno say the same thing, Usopp began to re-examine the group.
It seemed like they were telling the truth.
Once he realized there was no danger, Usopp became familiar and began to brag to the group.
"If you're looking for a ship, you've really come to the right person. No matter what kind of ship, I can find it for you."
"Back in the day, I, Usopp, had a giant fleet, hundreds of massive ships." Zoro and Nami exchanged glances.
This guy was telling a detailed story, but why did he seem so unreliable?
Their eyes were filled with doubt.
Only Reno listened with a calm expression.
He knew Usopp's background but had no intention of exposing him.
"Usopp, since you're so amazing, you can definitely help us get a pirate ship from the wealthy family here, right?" Reno pretended not to know anything and said with a smile, looking at Usopp.
???? And Usopp, who was still bragging to Luffy and the others, suddenly changed his expression and stopped bragging.
"You… what did you say?!" Usopp's eyes widened as he stared intently at Reno, his gaze filled with disbelief.
"It's the only wealthy family in Syrup Village. It seems there's only a daughter and a butler at home, right?" Reno said, feigning uncertainty.
Only a daughter? A butler? Isn't that Kaya's house?! Usopp suddenly became wary.
These guys didn't seem like bad people, but Usopp didn't want Kaya to have any contact with them.
Seeing Usopp's eyes darting around, Reno knew what mischievous ideas he was concocting.
"What, you don't know where they are?" Luffy asked suspiciously.
"It's alright, Captain. I've heard of this small town before. If he doesn't know, we can find it ourselves; it's just a little more effort." Reno explained with a smile to the group.
"Ah? Really? Have you been to this place?" Nami expressed great doubt about Reno's words.
From the first day she met Reno, she felt like this guy seemed to know everything.
How old was he? How could he have been everywhere?
Nami couldn't help but suspect Reno was bragging.
To this, Reno merely smiled slightly, having no intention of explaining.
He couldn't tell them he was a transmigrator and therefore knew the entire plot, could he? Knowing where to find a ship was a piece of cake, wasn't it?
As his words fell, without waiting for anyone's reply, Reno led Fire Thunder directly towards Kaya's house.
He knew there was a ticking time bomb in Kaya's house. This was a good opportunity to get rid of that guy for Kaya.
Hearing that Reno knew where to find a ship, the others lost interest in Usopp.
Luffy, Zoro, and Nami followed suit.
Seeing that Reno wasn't faking it and genuinely knew the location of Kaya's house, Usopp quickly followed.
He didn't want anything to happen to Kaya.
