"Klahadore, these -" Rich's words were cut off because of Kuro.

"You don't have to explain. I'll listen to your explanation later. All right, all of you leave this place immediately or are any of you wanting to convey something?" Ask Kuro.

"Yes, we want to ask for a ka-." Luffy's words were also cut off by Kuro who said, "No!"

Luffy instantly became lethargic because of that and was comforted by Zoro by patting the rubber man's back.

"Nluck!" Call Klahadore who knows Usopp is hiding behind the tree that Usopp used to talk to Kaya.

Usopp came out of hiding.

"I've heard a lot of stories about you, you're very famous in the village." Praise Kuro but with bad intentions.

"really?" Ask Usopp.

"So you have a lot of dangerous adventure experiences, yeah. That's really great for people as young as you." Said Kuro who still praised Usopp, of course with bad intentions.

"You may call me Captain Usopp. That would make me even more famous." Usopp said proudly not knowing the meaning of Kuro.

"Captain, huh? I even know the story about your father." Kuro.

"You know my father?" Ask Usopp.

"Klahadore, that's enough, stop!" Rich Pinta.

However, Kuro ignored his master's remark and continued to say, "You are only the son of a lowly pirate! Even though what you're doing isn't very interesting to me, please stop bothering the young lady."

"Little pirate you say?" Ask Usopp who is offended.

But Kuro no matter whether Usopp would be offended or not by his words, he still continued to insult Usopp.

"Your world with the young lady's world is very different. Do you want the money? How much do you want?" Ask Klahadore.

"That's enough, Klahadore! Hurry up and apologize to Usopp!" Kaya's orders were getting her body out of her bedroom window.

"Hey Rich, it's dangerous!" Said Usopp who panicked seeing Rich like that.

"Why should I apologize to a wild man like him, young lady? I'm just telling the truth. I also feel sorry for you. Your heart must be filled with hatred. The hatred towards your foolish father who has left you and also your mother to pursue treasure!"

"Yahdoor!" Shouted Kaya who was very angry at his servant.

"You! stop vilifying my father!" Pinta Usopp was furious.

Usopp walked up to Kuro and stopped in front of Kuro with a distance of about 10 cm.

"Why did you get angry like that? Maybe all you can do is lie." Kuro Teas.

"Just tell me you can't do anything, and maybe you're not a real son" Kuro's words stopped because Usopp suddenly hit him in the face.

"Shut your mouth!" Said the angry Usopp.

"Captain!!" Say those three little ones.

"Look, he's starting to be rude. There is no difference between father and son." Said Kuro who was sitting on the ground with his face slightly bruised by Usopp's punch.

"Close your mouth! I'm proud of my pirate father! He became a brave knight at sea, I am so proud of him! Even though I was a big liar, the blood of pirates has flowed on me. It was a pride that not many people had! I'm the son of a pirate!" Usopp Shouts.

"Pirate is a knight of the sea? Your understanding is naive. But what you're doing is also the result of a pirate's wild blood flow. You like to lie and you like to be rude when someone makes you angry. Your real goal is to target Ojou-sama's treasure which is why you approached him!" Accuse Kuro.

"What did you say? I-" Usopp's speech was cut off again.

"Truely or not you have a hidden purpose, which is obviously your father who is a pirate has proven everything!" Accuse Kuro of not letting Usopp talk.

"You really make me angry!" Usopp said while clutching the collar of Kuro's clothes and wanting to hit Kuro again but quickly Tanaka held the curly-haired man's hand.

"Stop, Usopp!" Tanaka said as he looked to ask her to release the grip on Kuro's collar.

"Don't waste your energy on garbage, it'll just dirty your hands." Said Tanaka while staring intently at Kuro.

Kuro just stared at Tanaka with a flat expression.

Usopp took off Kuro's collar.

"Hurry out of here. Never set foot in this house again!" Kuro's orders.

"I understand. You don't have to say, I'm leaving. I'll never go back to this place!" Said Usopp who walked away.

"Nonsolid you, stupid waitress! Our captain is not such a person!" Said the purple-haired boy.

"That's right, you idiot!" Said the green-haired boy.

"Stupid!" Saying a child with glasses.

"Stupid!" Said Luffy yelling at Kuro.

"Why are you also following along?!" Ask Zoro.

Tanaka who saw Luffy's behavior just shook his head. "Are you a child, Luffy?" Think Tanaka.

The three young children want to attack Kuro but are held captive by Nami and Zoro is holding Luffy who is following along.

"All of you quickly get out of this place!" Kuro's orders drove us out.

While the others were walking first, Tanaka remained motionless from where I was close to Kuro while staring intently at him.

"Good acting, Klahadore or should I call you Captain Kuro?" I whispered so that only he could hear Tanaka.

Kuro is so shocked by Tanaka's words, knowing his true identity.

But he immediately normalized his facial expression. I smiled at him.

"You deserve the best credit for the act you've done." Said Tanaka who walked away following the others.

But he stopped and turned around again.

"Ah, someone forgot, whatever plan you're making right now for that young lady and this island, I'm sure it won't work, because we're here to thwart her." Tanaka said with a smile and turned around, walking away from the mansion.

Kuro just stood on the spot while staring at Tanaka with his flat face. But in him he felt very confused about what he had just heard.

Right now we are sitting on the side of the road because we don't know what to do.

"Hey, where did Luffy go?" Ask Nami.

"Where I know. Maybe he wants to find Usopp." replied Zoro.

"The captain must be there." Said the green-haired boy.

"Yes, on the beach, when you're sad or have a problem, the captain must be there." Said the purple-haired boy.

"Do you want to see it?" Say green-haired boy to Zoro.

"No, I'm just here." Answer Zoro.

"Hey, we don't know your names yet?" Ask Tanaka.

"Yes, you're right Tanaka, you haven't introduced yourself to us yet." Added Nami.

"I'm Ninjin." Said the purple-haired boy.

"I'm Piman." Said the green-haired boy.

"I'm Tanaka, he's Nami and the creepy-faced man and carries three swords, Zoro." Tanaka.

"Hey why is an introduction like that?" Ask Zoro who does not accept.

Nami, Tanaka and the two young children laughed at the same time.

"Oh yeah, don't you feel like you've lost a member?" Ask Nami.

"Ah, Tamanegi!" Say them both.

"He always disappears." Piman.

"Yes, then suddenly appeared and shouted." Ninjin.

"Is he a ghost?" Ask Tanaka.

Just talked about, the person appeared and was indeed as said by the two of them.

"It's terrible!" Said Tamanegi as he ran towards us and broke into tears.

"See that." Say Ninjin while pointing towards Tamanegi.

"There's a weirdo walking backwards! There's a strange person walking backwards!" Tamanegi said when it was near.

"You lied!" Ninjin and Piiman.

"I'm not lying! Look at that." Tamanegi then pointed to someone who was walking backwards.

The man walking backwards was wearing a fedora hat with love-shaped glasses.

"Jango, vice-captain of Kuro's pirates." Tanaka thought as he looked at the strange person.

"Hey, who called me weird? I'm not a freak." Jango says she denies being a freak.

"To me you look weird." Nami Strictly.

"It's stupid. I'm doing a hypnotic ritual." Jango.

"Hi-hypnotic? It's great!" Tamanegi said with great admiration.

"Can you show it to us?" Pinta Piman's.

"Yes, show!" Ninjin.

"What?! You guys must be kidding me! Why should I show my hypnotic abilities to someone I just met?" Jango asked but she pulled out the large ring she used for hypnosis.

"Alright, focus your eyes on this thing." Pinta Jango's.

"He did it." Zoro.

"His words and actions were quite the opposite, he was indeed a freak." Thought the sweatdrop Tanaka.

After that Jango hypnotized the three little ones to fall asleep and succeeded, but Jango also fell asleep with the three of them.

"Hey, why is he also sleeping?!" Ask the angry Zoro.

A few moments later Jango woke up.

"Great, I'm asleep! I have to leave!" Jango said then he left by walking backwards again, but with a step faster than before.

Tanaka just stared at Jango who left with a flat face. He could have attacked Jango and told everyone what was going to happen on the island.

But Tanaka does not want to change the storyline that one-piece creator Eiichiro Oda has created.

He had decided to just shut up, let the storyline run its course.

The point is Tanaka just wants to feel directly adventurous together with because the main one piece without changing anything.

Not long after, Usopp was seen running towards us in a hurry but then he passed us.

"It looks like he already knows about Kuro's plan." Thought Tanaka who saw the look of despair on Usopp's face.

"What's wrong with him? Is he still angry that his father was insulted?" Ask Nami.

"Well, who knows what's inside his brain." Answer Zoro.

"No, that was different." Ninjin.

"Surely something happened!" Piman.

"Why does he look so desperate?" Tamanegi.

"Hey, how about you take me to the beach?" Pinta Zoro but not listened to by the three of them.

"Didn't you smell trouble here?!" Ask Ninjin.

"Yes, something must have happened on the beach!" Piman.

"I think this is a call for the Usopp Pirates!" Tamanegi.

"I get it, quickly show me where the beach is?!" The annoyed Pinta Zoro was ignored.

Then the three of them took us to the cliff where Usopp usually contemplates.

"here! The captain always comes to this place when he's in trouble!" Ninjin.

Tanaka immediately looked down and saw Luffy sleeping soundly.

"Ah, she must have been hypnotized by Jango, an innocent person is easily hypnotized." Tanaka thought while shaking his head.

"That straw hat's not here." Piman.

"He's under the cliff." Said Tanaka who then went down to the bottom of the cliff by jumping and drifting slowly towards the bottom.

Zoro just jumped. Nami and the three young children went down the cliff using a sloping road and the only access to climb to the cliff.

When she was downstairs, Tanaka picked up Luffy's straw hat and dusted it off.

Zoro wakes Luffy up by slapping him.

"Dream! Where's all the meat I'm eating?" Ask Luffy who's bouncing.

"No meat, you were dreaming, captain." Said Tanaka who thrust a straw hat at Luffy.

"Ah, thank you Tanaka, dream?" Asked Luffy who was still confused and then he recalled the incident before he fell asleep.

Luffy told me everything that happened and everything that he heard.

"They'll kill young lady Kaya and attack the village?!" Said the three children who were surprised to hear Luffy's story.

"Yes, that's it. It's not wrong anymore." Luffy replied confidently.

"Then why are you sleeping here?" Zoro.

"As for that, I don't know, why am I here?" Ask Luffy.

"Maybe you were hypnotized by a freak wearing a fedora hat and glasses shaped love." Tanaka.

"Ah, yes, he said he would hypnotize me to sleep." Luffy said casually.

"Basic stupid! Why are you so easily hypnotized!" Shouted the angry Nami.

Meanwhile, the three young children drowned in shock at what Luffy said.

"I thought Klahadore was a bad man!" Ninjin.

"It seems like my feelings are getting bad!" Piman.

"So that's why the captain hastily ran towards the village!" Tamanegi.

"yes too! If he warns the residents, everything will be out of here soon! The problem is over!" Nami who was relieved.

"You're wrong, Nami." Denied Tanaka "Usopp is known as a liar in this village. No one will believe his words. As hard as he tries, no one will believe him."

"Then, seriously, we should help Usopp to warn the villagers about this." Nami.

Then we went back to the village and saw Usopp who was walking lethargic and his right hand bleeding.

"Captain!!" Say the three little ones.

Usopp immediately disappeared the blood of his right hand and covered the wound with the wristband that he always wore.

"Yo, you guys!" Sapa Usopp casually like there is no problem whatsoever.

"Yes!" Reply Luffy.

"You're alive?" Ask Usopp.

"Still alive? Ah, I just woke up." Answer Luffy.

"She fell asleep on the beach!" Piman.

"Oh yes captain, we've heard it all!" Say Ninjin firmly.

"Let's quickly warn all the residents about the pirate!" Tamanegi said very worriedly.

"Warn all the people?" Usopp said and then he laughed.

"For what? What you heard was a lie! That waitress really pisses me off, I'm making up a lie that she's a pirate!" Usopp told a lie.

Luffy who heard that was confused. While Tanaka, Zoro and Nami were silent to see Usopp who was lying to the three children.

"So it's all a lie?" Ask Ninjin.

"Aaa~ I think it's real!" Piman.

"Why are you following along like a captain?" Tamanegi asked who was staring at Luffy.

"Eh, I'm not bo ... Uuuu!" Luffy's words weren't as perfect as Tanaka closed her mouth.

"Just shut up, Luffy." Tanaka Pinta.

Luffy felt confused but he nodded his head.

"I don't like captains doing this!" Said Piiman who was disappointed in Usopp.

"Yes, I don't like it either!" The same Ninjin as Piiman.

"Me too, even though the servant is evil, the captain shouldn't have made a lie like this." Said Tamanegi who gave advice to Usopp.

The three of them then left the place to return to their homes.

Usopp, Nami, Zoro and Luffy just stayed in that place, without speaking at all for a moment.

Tanaka approached Usopp and touched his injured arm. It certainly made him scream in pain.

"We have to treat your wounds." Tanaka Pinta

Nami immediately took over because she had little medical expertise.

"Why are you lying to them about this?" Zoro.

"Because I'm a liar. They didn't even trust me from the beginning. Hah, I'm just too confident." Answer Usopp who is trying to toughen up.

Though in him there is an eternal that is quite severe because the residents do not believe, especially Kaya who also does not believe even call himself a bad person.

"Even so, truth is truth." Nami.

"The pirates are really coming?" Ask Tanaka.

"Yes, there is no doubt that they will attack the village. But everyone sees it as a lie. They think tomorrow is a peaceful day as usual. That's why I'm the one who's gonna stop the pirates and let the people keep thinking this is a lie! That's all a liar like me can do! Even though my hands have been shot, even though I have driven them away, I am still a resident of this village! I love this village! I want to protect everything!" Said Usopp with tears.

He can't hold it anymore.

"You're actually a good fool, letting your men go and march alone into battle!" Puji Zoro's.

"As long as you know, I have an obsession with pirate treasure!" Said Nami who immediately stated that she would not participate in the battle.

"Yosh, we'll help you!" Said Luffy who had given the verdict on what to do.

"If the captain has made such a decision, there is no reason other than to follow and obey the captain's orders." Tanaka.

Luffy just smiled smirkingly hearing that.

"You want to fight with me?! Why?!" Ask Usopp.

"There's a lot of bad guys to beat up, right?" Ask Luffy.

"I'm just following my captain's orders." Said Tanaka with a smile.

"Your face looks terrified

great, hope we help you!" Ejek Zoro's.

"I-I'm scared, you say?! I've never been afraid of as many bad guys as I've faced! Because I'm captain Usopp, brave ocean knight!" Usopp said confidently but his legs were shaking.

"What true? Why are your legs shaking like that?" Tanaka asked who was jokingly mocking Usopp.

"Damn, shit! What if the Klahadore pirates are scary?! Of course I'm afraid, why? I don't want to be pitied by you guys, you better just go!" He admits that he is afraid.

"We're not laughing at you, we feel we have to help you!" Zoro

"Anyone willing to risk their lives for mercy?!" Ask Luffy.

"Oh, you guys..." Said Usopp with tears.
