The Explorer of the Universe
10

On a clear day, our ship continued to sail across the sea of east blue.

With the presence of Nami who became the navigator, the voyage became easier and well-directed than before that only rely on the direction of the wind.

"We can't get to the Grand Line like this." Nami.

"What do you mean?" Ask Luffy.

"You want to go to the Grand Line just like this?" Ask Nami.

"Right, I'd rather eat meat than apples. All our food is just fruit given by that cabbage-haired uncle." Luffy.

The person Luffy was referring to was a man named Gaimon who had been trapped in a chest for twenty years and was on a small island with living things that were beyond the normal word.

"I'm not talking about food! The Grand Line is the most dangerous place in the world. There must be a lot of Pirates who are also eyeing One Piece and they must have a strong ship." Obviously Nami.

"In other words we currently need a ship right? Besides we're also short on crews." Tanaka.

"That's right! If we go south, there's a small inhabited island. Maybe we can find a good ship there, but..." Nami.

"Yosh, we'll eat meat there!" Luffy.

"Don't forget the sake, either." Added Zoro.

"You guys! Can't talk about anything other than food and drink." Nami said annoyedly.

"Relax, Nami, relax, they're both brains unlike normal people." Tanaka.

"You, right, it's just you and me who are normal here, I'm glad you're there, Tanaka, otherwise I'd go crazy with both of them." Nami.

Not long after, our ship arrived at the small island that Nami had said.

"It's been a long time since I've set foot on the island." Zoro said while stretching his body.

"Of course, you sleep on, when we were already anchored on the island." Tanaka Sahut.

"Ah, what is the road to the village?" Ask Luffy.

"There is a small village, but..." Nami.

"Huh, then there's meat! There must be meat in this village, right?" Luffy asked with saliva at the corner of his lips.

"What's in your head is just flesh!" Nami said annoyedly.

Then suddenly from the bushes came a rustling sound. Tanaka immediately put up a vigilant attitude as well as Zoro.

"Be careful, someone's here." Zoro Sweat.

"Where?! Where?! Where?!" Luffy asked as he looked to the right and to the left.

Zoro pointed to a place not far away with shrubs and four people with one teenager and three small children.

All men.

"Ah, isn't that Usopp?" Thought Tanaka was referring to a teenage boy who had curly hair and wore a plaid-like bandana.

"Wine! We're busted!" Usopp said in a panic.

"Run!" Tell those three little boys.

"Hey, yes ... Don't leave me!" Usopp shouted in panic.

Tanaka and the others were finally able to see Usopp emerging from the bushes.

"I'm the greatest Pirate leader to rule this village, Usopp! Everyone praised and looked at me as Captain Usopp! If you want to attack this village, you better think carefully. If you do, my 80 million men will kill you!" Clearly Usopp was arrogantly and lying.

"80 million! That's great!" Praise the amazed Luffy.

Tanaka could only sigh, and muttered, "A lie that is bold enough."

"That's a lie, right?" Ask Nami.

"Wah~ how do you know?" Ask Usopp in a panic.

"You said it yourself." Nami said casually.

"What?! She lying?!" Luffy said disappointedly.

"Bad you guys! 80 Million men might be too much, but I have a really strong group!" Said Usopp, who was still adamant about a new lie.

"Only three people? And they ran away." Nami said that revealing the truth.

"Aaaa~ I shouldn't be fooled this easily, a bad plan is easy to fail!" Usopp blamed himself.

"You're an interesting person, too, yeah." Luffy said and then laughed.

"Hey, you! Don't laugh at me! I am a man with high self-esteem! Because of my high self-esteem, everyone calls me the great lord of Usopp." Usopp is proud of that.

"I'm currently holding a catapult as my weapon, but if it's a gun, your head has been hollow since you stepped foot on this island." Threaten Usopp.

"If you say gun, your life will be at stake. It's not a weapon to scare others." Luffy's.

"The one in front of you right now is the real Pirate." Zoro said, then he smiled.

Usopp who saw Zoro immediately fell to his knees.

"I thought the real Pirates must have the power to scare people better than me." Said Usopp with a trembling body.

Zoro and Luffy looked at each other and laughed.

"I just imitate someone's words. Those are the words that my idol Pirates once said, Shanks." Obviously Luffy.

"Sha...Shanks said?! Do you know a great Pirate named Akagami no Shanks?!" Ask Usopp.

"Yes. Yasopp, right? Your father's name." Ask Luffy.

Usopp was surprised to hear his father's name being mentioned by Luffy.

"My father's name is Yasopp, but how do you know that?" Usopp.

"Before that let's go to the diner, we're hungry." Tanaka said.

Usopp immediately took us to a restaurant to eat.

Arriving at the restaurant, Luffy tells about how he got to know Shanks and Yasopp.

"I met him when I was a kid." Say Luffy while eating his food in the form of meat as he wishes.

"My dad's on Shanks' ship?" Usopp's question did not believe it.

"Yes, you look a lot like him. When I first saw you, I knew you were his son." Answer Luffy.

"really? I never thought my father would be on that great man's ship." Said Usopp who was amazed at the figure of his father.

"I don't know how he's doing right now, but he's probably still with Shanks. Your father's shooting ability is truly matchless. Usopp, I've been hearing stories about you unceasingly. Yasopp is a great Pirate." Praise Luffy about Usopp's father.

"That's right! Leaving an ordinary life and entering a vast sea, I am very proud of my father." Usopp said in amazement.

"If so, it will be easier. Hey, is there someone in this village who can make a ship or a big ship?" Ask Nami.

"As you can see, this is a small village. I'm sorry, no one can do what you want." Usopp.

"At the top of the hill was a large mansion." Said Zoro looking at the mansion from behind the restaurant window.

"Hey, does Usopp know them? Maybe I could ask them for money." Nami Pinta.

"You can't go there!" Said Usopp who looked nervous.

"A .. I just remembered there was something I had to do. I know the owner of this food store well so order whatever you want. I'll go first, yeah."

Usopp left in a hurry.

"What's wrong? He's in a hurry." Ask Nami.

"Peoplease or defecation, maybe." Answer Tanaka.

He knew that Usopp went to the mansion to meet the daughter of the owner of the mansion and tell her lies to comfort the daughter of the owner of the mansion.

"The Usopp Pirates have come!" Said the three children who had been with Usopp in the restaurant.

We looked at the three of them.

"Who is that?" ask Nami.

"Captain's not here." Said the purple-haired boy.

The green haired boy came to our table.

"Hey Pirate, what have you done to Captain Usopp?!" Ask the green-haired boy.

"What did you guys do to our captain?!" Said the glasses boy and the purple-haired child repeating the question.

"Look at the meat!" Sahut Luffy with his leisure.

"The meat?!" Said the purple-haired boy.

"Don't you, the captain has already..." Said the green-haired child with a trembling body.

"They are already ... " The words of the bespectacled child with a body trembling and sweating.

Nami was trying to hold back her laughter and Tanaka just watched them while chuckling.

He thought of joking with the three of them which adjusted the imagination of the three of them at this time.

But Zoro did it first by saying, "Your captain, yes." Zoro answered and then he made a scary face. "We ate!"

Tanaka gives a visual image by tasting his fingers while putting on a creepy face.

"Whoa, Onibaba!!!" Said the three of them shouting while looking at Nami.

"Why did you say it while looking at me?!" Nami garang said.

"Of course because you look like Onibaba, Nami, the kids can't lie, all the words are in line with what they see." Tanaka taunts Nami.

"What did you say?!" Nami said fiercely and gave a head blow.

"Ouch! What are you doing?" Tanaka asked who stroked her head in pain.

"Think about it yourself!" Answer Nami ketus.

Tanaka decides to ignore Nami for saying sacred words to the woman while being angry by turning her attention to the three of them.

"You have nothing to fear, we're just kidding, your captain is alive, it's just kidding." Clearly Tanaka while smiling made the three of them sigh in relief.

"So Usopp went in a hurry somewhere, do you know where he went?" Nami added.

"If he goes at this hour in a hurry, he must have gone to that place." Said the green-haired boy.

Then the three of them escorted Luffy cs to the large mansion previously seen by Zoro from the restaurant.

"That's big!" Luffy.

"If you don't find the captain anywhere, he's most likely here." Saying a child with glasses.

"Why did he go to this place?" Ask Luffy.

"He came to lie." Said the purple-haired boy.

"Things like that can't be done." Sahut Nami who gives good advice.

"But this is a different lie." Said the green-haired boy.

"Yes, this is different." Hardcore boy in glasses.

"What do you mean?" Ask Zoro.

"The rich lady who lives in this mansion is very weak. A year ago, her parents died in an accident, and she has been depressed ever since. All the wealth he had could not encourage him. That's why the captain made so many lies to make him laugh. Our captain's lying ability is number one in the world." The three of them explained in turn.

"So he did that to comfort the miss owner of this mansion to get back excited and not sad anymore?" Ask Tanaka.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer the three of them simultaneously.

"What do you think, turns out he's a good man." Luffy said with a smile.

"I like his attitude of meddling in the affairs of others." Said the purple-haired boy.

"I like his exaggerated attitude." Said the green-haired boy.

"I love the lies he's doing." Saying a child with glasses.

"Why are you proud of something like that?" Ask Zoro the sweetdrop.

"Was the lady's lie more excited?" Ask Nami.

"Yes, he's better now." Answer the green-haired boy.

"Yes! Let's go in and ask for a boat!" Luffy said easily.

"There's no way we can get in there." Saying a child with glasses.

"There's a big guard guard who's guarding this house." Said the purple-haired boy.

"Where's Luffy?" Ask Nami.

"Let's look inside." Said Luffy who was preparing to climb over the fence.

"Don't you will..." Zoro.

Luffy then extended his arm.

"The arm's elongated!" Speak to the three children simultaneously.

"What's really going on?!" Said the purple-haired child who was also surprised.

Not only there was the shock of the three of them, when they saw the floating Tanaka also made them surprised.

"He's floating!?" Say the three of them simultaneously.

Luffy laughingly flew into the sky with Zoro, Nami and the three little children.

"Yahoooooooo!" Shouted the three little boys.

"Stupid!" Shouted the angry Nami.

Tanaka had already predicted that so he took quick steps to drift through the wall.

We all landed under the tree where Usopp was talking to Kaya.

Of course with a landing that can not be said smooth.

"We made it in." Luffy said happily.

"It didn't work out at all!" Nami yelled angrily and stuck out Luffy's head.

"A-Are you guys okay?" Ask Rich to worry.

"They'll be fine. They heard of my prowess, so they came here to join the Usopp Pirates." Said Usopp haughtily and lied.

"No you're wrong, we have a request." Luffy replied straightforwardly.

"Request? To me?" Rich Saying.

"Yes, we want a big ship." Luffy Pinta.

"Sorry, I don't have a ship." Rich Saying.

Tanaka appeared in the sky and landed smoothly and it left Kaya and Usopp shocked.

"He's flying!" Usopp was surprised.

"Waaa~ he can fly!" Say Rich with admiration.

"Hahaha, great right! He heard of my prowess, so came here to join the Usopp Pirates." Usopp said with his lie.

"No, I came with them." Said Tanaka who denied Usopp's lies.

"You guys are there!" Call someone who makes us turn our attention to that person.

"Captain Kuro?" Think Tanaka.

The three little children immediately hid behind the tree, when they saw Kuro.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Kuro.

"Yahdoor!" Said Kaya who called Kuro's pseudonym.

"You guys barged in, and made a fuss here." Accuse Kuro.

"Who is he?" Ask Luffy.
