Strongest Pirate - Chapter 20 Usopp Badluck

“”Usopp”” Stuart and Nami said together and entered the Orchard where they saw there crew member Usopp the liar.

“Stuart, Nami” Usopp shouted and ran towards the two of them.

“What are you doing here Usopp? Didn’t I asked you to stay hidden how did you end up here and where is that Jonny” Stuart asked.

“I am here cause they brought me here after knocking me down” Usopp said.

“Knocking you down!?” Nami asked Usopp then she looked at her sister Nojiko who was sitting on a bench beside a kid whome she saw earlier when he decided to fight against Arlong and she beated him to protect his life.

“Ahh! What is the witch doing here” the kid said.

Usopp who was going to tell his story to the two of them stopped when he heard the kid calling Nami a witch.

*Baam*”Oww” the kid winced in pain as Nojiko hitted him on his head.

“Don’t you speak like that to my little sister when she saved your life” Nojiko said.

“It’s Ok Nojiko-nee the kid is hurt and needs time that’s all” Nami said as she smiled.

Nojiko when she looked at her sisters smile she was happy from her heart as this smile was her true smile and not a fake one.

After she saw her sister her vision went towards the man she was standing with. The moment she laid her eyes on him she was petrified, her breathing became rapid and she even started to blush a little bit.

Usopp being the regular idiot couldn’t see the change but Stuart the man she was looking at was obviously used to these kind of looks so he just smiled and nodded his head towards her making her breathing more erratic. Nami also saw the changes in her elder sister and new she was having the same reaction as her when she saw Stuart the first time. Not wanting her sister to loose control Nami pulled her inside the house.

“Ok, now tell me what happened” Stuart said to Usopp after he saw Nami and Nojiko enter the house.

“Yeah, you know what that Jonny bastard abandoned me and hid himself when he saw a fishmen but didn’t told me about it” Usopp said.

Stuart facepalmed himself as he knew that it’s the same thing that happened to Usopp in original story.

Usopp told him that they docked the boat near an abandoned village which was Gosa Village that Arlong recently destroyed as they weren’t able to pay him the money they were supposed to and how he met Nojiko and the kid while he was retreating Fighting against the fishmen. Though in reality he was just running from the fishmen.

“So you are saying that you were seen by a fishmen the moment you entered the island” Stuart asked.

Y-Yes” Usopp said.

“How hard is it to hide yourself Usopp in such a big island” Stuart asked.

“But I was shocked by the damage that happened in the village so I didn’t know when he came behind me” Usopp said

“*sigh* Arlong won’t stop until he finds you” Stuart said.

“W-WHAT!? WHY!?” Usopp asked in shock and fear.

“Cause you are in his domain without his knowledge” said Stuart

“T-Then what should I do” Usopp asked.

First find yourself a lucky charm as your luck is really bad so much that it may affect us as well.”

“Are you for real!?” Usopp asked in shock as he never thought that Stuart would make a joke and that too at such a moment

” Yes, Then the next is go infront of Arlong, hit him with your Slingshot and then run from there to let them follow you, where I will help you loose there tail” Stuart said.

“What!? No never I will never do that. Do you want to kill me” Usopp said

“I can protect you Usopp believe me” Stuart said.

Usopp was going to refuse but they heard some noises from the direction of the village and stopped talking. Nami and Nojiko also came out of the house and then all 5 of them went towards the village.

As they reached towards the main Street of the village they saw that the fishmen were present so were the villagers but anger and desperation could be seen in there eyes. When the girls saw that they knew something was wrong.

“Aaahhhh…..” a shout of pain was heard by the 5 newcomers, Nami and Nojiko knew that this voice belonged to the village peacekeeper Genzo.

“”Gen-san”” said Namiand Nojiko then ran towards the crowd who was followed by the kid.

Stuart looked towards Usopp and said “Looks like you really need to do it now”

“Why me!? WHY can’t you do it?” Usopp asked.

“Arlong has already seen me. Don’t worry Usopp I will save you if you get caught” Stuart said.

“You are worst then Zoro” Usopp said then ran towards a house to climb on it.

“I will take that as a compliment” Stuart said as he walked in the direction Nami went.

Arlong was holding Genzo up in the air by his throat and said “It’s rebellious enough by just possessing a weapon. In order to prevent any other rebels from you humans, I shall kill you right here, right now”

“How can you do that Arlong, we have been paying you tributes for eight years so how could you say that we have thought of rebellion” said Nojiko coming infront of Arlong.

“I said that having a weapon is also a form of rebellion and since Genzo has it I was just going to kill him but if you all support his decision than I shall make your village face the same fate as the Gosa Village, do you want that” Arlong said.

“No one will move, don’t do anything” Genzo said as he stopped the villagers.

“Wait Arlong you don’t have to do that I will bring you the promise money in the evening, so it won’t even be your problem” said Nami

“Oh Nami yeah you are right but right now village is under me so I have to crush anyone who has the thoughts of rebellion against me” Arlong said.

Nami’s face didn’t looked well at all she was desperate and afraid as after Bellemere-san, Genzo was like a father to her and Nojiko so she doesn’t wanted to lose him.

At that time she looked left and right to find Stuart and saw him standing not far from her. Nami wanted to ask help from him but he waved his hand as if informing her that it would be fine.

“Let this be a warning to you all” said Arlong as he went for the kill.

“KOYAKABOOSHI….”
