"Billion belly, are you serious?" Zoro and Nami can't even tell the concept of billion baileys. This is already out of their world.
"Yeah, he is an excellent sniper and so his son should also be a sniper. In fact, if I wasn't sucked inside whirlpool and landed and found Coby, the first person on my boat would be him but everything didn't work as I planned. I got Zoro as my first crew-mate and then I found my navigator. Now I can find my sniper then we just have to find the chief. Then we will be ready for Grandline." Luffy explained.
After hearing the explanation of Luffy, they started to imagine Usopp.
After a few days on an island
Straw Hats were standing in front of a hill. At the top of the hill, one man with a long nose and sling shooter in his hand saying "I am Great Pirate Usopp with 80 million pirates under my command. This island is under my rule. If you don't return then my 8 million pirates will launch an attack against you."
"Wow" Even though Luffy already knew, he couldn't help but say Wow on Great God Usopp lie. In fact, with just many lies, Usopp reached grow up from coward to coward. He got stronger but his coward-ness didn't decrease.
Nami and Zoro were left speechless thinking 'This is a great pirate whose bounty is over billion bailey son'
"Just a lie" Nami couldn't help but snort on Usopp.
But hearing Nami, Usopp leg's turn weak as he began to say "She finds out our lie"
"Even if 80 million is a high number but I still got many great pirates under my flag" Usopp barely stands straight and loudly threatens straw hats, while six flags on one place start shaking up and down.
"Let me guess, just three" Nami again pour cold water in Usopp's heart.
"Ahh, she found it" Three children shouted in horror and ran away.
"Ahh, don't go." Usopp heart was already broke but he gathers up his courage and said "Even if I am alone I will fight"
Saying so, he targeted straw hats with his sling shooter. Then Luffy moves forward and asked "Are you going to risk your life on that. Weapons are not for threatening. Your life will depend on that weapon"
Zoro also understood Luffy's intention and added "If you think this is just a play then you are wrong. People you are facing right now are real pirates"
Usopp legs started getting weak as he fell on the ground and said "Intimidating real pirate is very hard"
"Haha" Luffy and Zoro laughed at the same time.
"I just intimidate pirate I know. His name is Shanks" Luffy said
"You know great pirate red hair shanks?" Usopp looked at Luffy with surprise.
"Yes, and I know your dad too. His name is Yasop right?" Luffy said.
"Ah" Hearing Yasop name, Usopp fell from the hill then rubbed his head and said, "Yes, how did you know?"
In next moment
"So my father is traveling seas with great pirate red hair shanks. I never thought my dad would be so strong" Usopp said while eating food.
"Yes his marksmanship was top, he could even shoot an ant antenna from afar," Luffy said while catching an apple.
"By the way do you know if the place where we can find a ship on this island?" Luffy suddenly asked

"Ship in this place is very hard to find. This is just a poor village after all but there is one rich family, they may have" Usopp said and suddenly stood up.
"I have something to do, you guys can continue," Usopp said and left in hurry.
After Usopp left, Zoro asked, "Captain aren't you going to invite him?"
"No, not now at least" Luffy mysteriously said while filling up his belly.
"Bang"
Three boys suddenly entered a restaurant and shouted at Straw hats "Where is our captain?"
Suddenly Luffy said "That was a good meal"
"Ahh, what did you do to our captain?" Three boys suddenly yelled
Zoro made a deadly face and said "We ate him"
Then they looked at Nami and said "Ahh Monster"
"Who are you calling a monster?" Nami yelled at them.
"Haha- Haha- Haha" Luffy and Zoro laughed out loudly
"It's your fault for saying such thing to them" Nami yelled again at Luffy and Zoro.
"Don't mind it, as for your captain he just left in a hurry. Where did your captain go do you know?" Luffy asked
"Oh then captain maybe in Kaya house," One of three boys said
"Kaya?" The three of them made the puzzled expression, even though Luffy knew he still has to make such expression so Nami and Zoro won't have any doubt.
Three boys explained everything to Straw Hats and they went out on the field. Surprisingly, Usopp was already there sitting on with sad.
"Hey, what happened?" Luffy asked
"Nothing" Usopp didn't answer
"Is it because of Kaya?" Luffy asked with uncertainties
"You know?" Usopp was very surprised so he asked
"Yeah your pirate group told me" Luffy made a laughing expression and said
"Oh, it's just I don't know whether to admire my old man or hate him. When my mother was sick, he wasn't there, he left us. If he were us at that moment, my mother may be saved but after hearing my old man is on Great Pirate Red Hair Shanks Ship, I started to admire him. That butler in kaya house said he is just scum leaving my mother to death. I slapped him at that moment but now I am really confused did I do right? I do not blame my old man, after all, that was his dream and I believe my mother would think the same" Usopp said with tears in his eyes.
Hearing him everyone was sad, Nami thought she was miserable but didn't expect Usopp to have the same fate. Her town was captured by pirates whereas here Usopp's father became a pirate and even though his mother died, he still doesn't hate his father like she hates pirates. She then looked at Luffy and thought 'Should I really believe him?'
Luffy came near Usopp, he wrapped his arm around Usopp neck and said "Let's go for a walk"
Usopp was a little confused but still choose to follow Luffy.
On the way, Luffy said "Life and Death happen on everyone's life. We are just a container with a soul. If the soul dies, we would be no different from a container. You can run away from food, you can run away from your duty, you can run away from danger, you can run away from freedom but you can't run away from death. Death is inevitable. No one can stop even if it is your dad. He chooses to be a pirate because of his dream.
Red Hair Pirates are very large, you really don't know anything about them now but do you really think your old man doesn't know about your mother's death? He already knows but he didn't come not because he can't or he fear marine but he can't show his face until his own son reaches his level. He waiting for you. He said 'I don't know how my son will grow up but I'm sure he will be a great pirate if he sails into seas. So Luffy can you bring my son with you in your journey to be Pirate King. He will be the greatest sniper that will fight every hidden enemy of yours' so Usopp, I want to invite you to my crew do you accept it?" Luffy finally invited him but those lines of Usopp dad half lay.
Usopp's eyes were filled with tears as he nodded his head.
"Welcome to Straw Hats Pirate" Luffy gave a big hug to Usopp.
"Hey wait" Suddenly Luffy made him and Usopp drop on the ground. They saw a butler and another person in the hat talking.
After hearing them
"They are going to loot Kaya. I have to inform her" Usopp without any hesitation, he ran away to explain to Kaya but he forgets in the eyes of villagers, he is just a liar.
After Usopp left, Luffy also left for Nami and Zoro.
"Luffy, you are finally back. What happened to Usopp? Why is he not back with you?" Nami saw Luffy returning, she smiled and asked
"Well he joined our pirate crew then" Luffy started explaining everything they heard between that butler and pirate.
"Humph pirates will be always a pirate. They will always think of robbing and looting" Nami was already displeased with pirates now this incident made her hate pirates more.
"Nami you are also a pirate" Luffy frowns a little but didn't rebuke.
"Only unofficial but what are you going to do now?" Nami asked
"Well, let's wait for Usopp then make a plan but in reality, we really don't need one. If they are truly bad pirates, then I will finish them fast" Luffy said, he was absolutely sure to finish them without any problem.
"Well Captain, don't hog on all action. Let me fight too" Zoro also smiled with Luffy attitude and said
"Haha, you are right. I and Zoro are strong enough to face an opponent on Grandline but you are not Nami. So in the next fight, you will also participate" Luffy said seriously looking at Nami face.
"What?" Nami yelled at Luffy with a surprise.
