The Chapter get Retranslated
Gol D. Roger: "Awesome!! Luffy-boy, this friend of yours is a true man!!"
Watching the scene on the screen, Roger couldn't help but clap and cheer.
Marco: "To protect the village he loves, he'd risk his life even knowing he's outmatched. That's true protection!"
Edward Newgate: "Gurarararara!! What a fine lad!"
Shanks: "Yasopp, that's your son, right! He really inherited your excellent genes~~~"
Yasopp: "No... I'm ashamed of Usopp. While I'm proud of him, I'm not qualified to say anything as a father..."
Usopp: "Dad!! Mom never complained about you, and I'm proud of you too!!"
On the Red Force~~~
Hearing Usopp's words, Yasopp couldn't hold back his tears!!!
He knew he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father~~~
He also believed what Usopp had just said...
And he knew even more what a kind woman his wife, Banchina, was~~~
The more he thought about it, the guiltier he felt~~~
Yasopp: "So... son..."
Yasopp's choked words appeared in the chatroom.
Usopp: "Dad!! —"
[The next morning, the Black Cat Pirates attacked!]
[Usopp, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami faced off against the Black Cat Pirates!!]
[Although the process was somewhat convoluted, in the end, the Straw Hat Pirates emerged victorious.]
[Sitting on a severed tree stump, Usopp looked at the Carrot, Ninjin, and Tamanegi brothers, and Kaya, and said, "Can we keep today's events a secret?"]
[At his words, Kaya's eyes widened: "Huh? Why?"]
["Exactly! We fought to protect the village!"]
["Everyone will definitely look at the captain in a new light!"]
["You're the village's great hero!!"]
The Carrot, Ninjin, and Tamanegi brothers exclaimed in confusion.
However, Usopp just smiled.
"There's no need to specifically tell everyone what has already passed; it would only cause them panic."
"If it weren't for today's incident, this remote little village wouldn't have been attacked by pirates. The villagers live peacefully precisely because of that."
"But... everyone misunderstood you before, don't you want to clear up that misunderstanding?" Kaya looked at Usopp with concern.
Usopp shrugged: "It's not really a misunderstanding~~ Aside from this one time, I really do lie every time. One more lie won't change how everyone sees me. If, to clarify this one misunderstanding, everyone had to live in the shadow of worrying about future pirate attacks, it wouldn't be worth it~~"
[After another day in Syrup Village, the Straw Hat Pirates received a gift from Kaya—the Going Merry!]
[Usopp successfully joined the crew, and the Straw Hat Pirates departed from Syrup Village.]
——
At this point, the white-framed large screen gradually dimmed...
Meanwhile~~~
Syrup Village!
The villagers here were not qualified to speak in the viewing system's chatroom, but they could see the screen's image in the sky.
When they learned the truth of that day, everyone in the village was moved to tears~~~
"Damn it!!! What have we done to him!!!"
"He, for our sake, resolved to die and warned us, yet we drove him away..."
"We're truly not human!"
...
Although the white-framed large screen had dimmed, the image of the young man who fought alone to protect the village was etched into the minds of every Syrup Village resident...
This guilt and self-reproach would be enough to make many people, when suddenly waking up later, slap themselves hard...
Damn it, I truly wasn't human back then!
——
Soon~~
The red border gradually brightened!
A scene appeared.
[A small boat sailing on the sea~~~]
["Straw Hat-boy, you're only in your teens, right? How are you so strong?"]
[On the deck, Buggy couldn't help but ask the question on his mind as he watched Luffy practicing swordsmanship.]
["Training!"]
[Luffy's sword practice didn't stop, and he said calmly, "When I was little, I saw too many life-or-death battles on Grandpa's ship. That's when I understood that if I didn't want to become a sword's victim, I had to become the strongest one."]
["The strongest one..."]
[Hearing Luffy speak of such a grand ambition in a calm tone, Buggy was quite shaken~~~]
[No wonder this guy already possesses such powerful Conqueror's Haki at this age; turns out his ambition is this great!!!]
["What about you? Aren't you just idling at sea? Why don't you train? Come on, let's train together!" Luffy turned to Buggy and suggested.]
[However, Buggy shook his head: "No thanks, I'm different from you guys. I'm a Devil Fruit User; my training method isn't something you can understand."]
[As for training, Buggy hadn't bothered with it since he arrived in the East Blue!]
[Training is too tiring!]
[Especially in a small place like the East Blue, he could already run rampant with his Devil Fruit ability; why bother with training?]
[Lying flat! Absolutely must lie flat!!]
[Of course, he couldn't say that out loud, so he simply found an excuse to fool Luffy.]
[However, Luffy pouted: "Come on, even for a Devil Fruit User, training is the most important thing! Using rich imagination to build the prototype of an ability, then trying to put it into practice, and then through countless training sessions, successfully developing that ability. That's the training method for Devil Fruit Users, right?"]
[Nani~~~]
[Hearing Luffy's words, Buggy was completely dumbfounded!!]
[He looked at Luffy in a daze: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, how do you know the training method for Devil Fruit Users so clearly? Are you also a Devil Fruit User...???"]
["Of course! Who isn't a Devil Fruit User?"]
[Luffy grabbed his face and stretched it hard, "See? I'm a Gomu Gomu no Mi user! So... your excuse just now won't fool me. Come on, let's train together!"]
["No, wait..."]
[Buggy was about to say something else when he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying deterrent force envelop him!]
[It was as if countless terrifying beasts instantly surrounded him, yet without directly touching him!]
[Clearly, this was Luffy's Conqueror's Haki!!!]
[And the kind of super Conqueror's Haki that was precisely controlled to perfectly encircle Buggy!]
[Eh~?]
[Buggy's face froze.]
[We agreed you'd be the guide, so why are you forcing me to train?!]
