Usopp apparently slept with his clothes on, so after I grabbed the slingshot, I quickly headed out into the kitchen to see the kids sitting around a dusty table, on chairs that seemed like they’d break if too much pressure was forced on them.
First things first, we needed food. I couldn’t get stronger if I starved to death, and so I told the kids to follow me outside.
“Where are we going?” asked the Onion, he’s the one with orange hair.
“To the market-” I answered looking at the sun just rising. “There are people there who are setting up their stands early but not too many people that we’d get caught.”
“Get caught doing what?” he asked innocently. I simply smiled and told the truth.
“Stealing.”
“””Stealing!””” they stopped walking and screamed. Luckily the shack is far enough away from the general public no one would hear anyway. “Isn’t stealing bad?” questioned Carrot.
“Yup it is, but we’re going to do it anyway. Didn’t I promise to tell you something interesting today, well I might as well share my secret with you.”
“””Ohhh, tell us! Tell us!””” they begged with stars in their eyes. Literal stars! Getting used to the whole ‘Anime’ thing was gonna be hard.

“You see, my dad is a very famous pirate name Yasopp. On the crew, he was the ships Sniper. Before he left, he told me that there was going to be a boy around my age named Luffy who is going to visit this island some day. He said that I’m the Sniper for that crew.”
“Wait...are you saying you’re a pirate!?’ asked Pepper, but before I could answer.
"Aye, and while Pirates do bad things sometimes, it doesn't always mean they are bad people. For example, this situation works perfectly. Aren't you guys hungry? We need money and food to servive and so we have to get them any way possible. But, if you don't want to help than you don't have to. I won't force you and you'll still get some of whatever food I can grab up."
Spoiler: Convincing Roll
Req: 30 - 10 (Hungry) = 20
Pepper: 1d100 = 21 +20 (Charisma) = 41
SUCCESSFUL
Carrot: 1d100 = 18 + 20 (Charisma) = 38
SUCCESSFUL
Onion: 1d100 = 51 + 20 (Charisma) = 71
SUCCESSFUL
It's kind of surprising, but they seemed to not have problems with stealing in the first place. Well, they are kids, I don't think I should put much stock into their moral compass. Hmm...am I a bad influence? Well probably, but I'm also a Pirate so I wasn't a great influence to begin with.
"Hey Usopp?" Onion asks after walking towards our destination some more. "Are you...are you really leaving us to become a Pirate?"
We all stop as realization dawns on the other kids faces. Sad mummers about me leaving begin quietly making their way to my ears and honestly i don't know how to answer this. I have to go, I mean, I just have to right? The Strawhats need me? I don't even think The Going Merry will make it to Water 7 without me constantly making shoddy repairs to the ship. But can I really leave the little ones by themselves while I go to have an adventure? Surely Kaya will still take care of them if I don't change too much but that brings up another question. Do I want to?
Does Usopp Take The Kids On His Adventure Or Leave Them On The Island
[ ] Take The Kids
You can't just leave them. They depend on you.
Will train kids for the future ahead but they will be in danger
[X] Leave The Kids
You can't just take them. You know the type of danger ahead. Should you really bring them into it?
Chance of Negative Reputation if they feel abandoned but they will be safe
