Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 20 The Black Cat's Whisper, the Morning Noise ([-])
When they came to the cliff but didn’t find anyone, everyone felt very strange. Nami poked her head out from the cliff and looked down and said, “Ah!!! Luffy is below!! I saw his straw hat.”

When a group of people came below, they found that Luffy's whole head was buried in the ground.The children trembled and said, "Could it be dead?"

An Ke frowned, signaling Sauron to put himself down.An Ke closed his eyes and felt it, then chuckled.Sauron glanced at her inexplicably, and frowned at Luffy, "Huh?!" As if hearing something, Sauron said, "Quiet!"

Everyone shut their mouths, and Sauron also smiled after listening carefully.Walked over and hit Luffy with the scabbard and said, "Luffy, wake up!"

Luffy moved his fingers, Nami and the three children screamed, Luffy pulled out his head suddenly, and stretched happily. "Huh? Good morning~~" Luffy greeted them with a smile.

An Ke went over to pick up the hat and put it on his head and said, "It's still early, it's almost night."

Lu Fei rubbed his eyes in a daze and said, "Ah, Encore, good morning~~~ Are you okay?"

An Ke shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem, so what's going on?

"Oh, that, that butler is from a pirate, what is his name Captain Crowe, he is the head of the Black Cat Pirates, and then he talked to a very strange person and decided to kill that lady and destroy this town. Then I stood up, that guy took out a circle, and I fell asleep." Luffy said thinking back.

"Circle? It should be the hypnotist today. It seems that they are in the same group. That Captain Crowe? I heard that he is a very smart but cruel guy, but didn't he die three years ago?" Nami Slowly deduce.

"Probably cheating death, sometimes to avoid the navy's pursuit, this is also one of the methods." An Ke said with a smile, and silently added in his heart: Anyway, I also use this method.

Luffy stood up and said, "Anyway, wait for Usopp to come first."

..........................................

At the original narrow path, everyone is waiting for Usopp.

"Oh! It's the captain!!!" The three children who had been looking at the road shouted excitedly.

Luffy and others turned their heads to see Usopp, who was not energetic. Anke's eyes were fixed: the cloth scarf on his left hand was...blood.Usopp also saw them, stretched his left hand behind and stretched it out after a while, the cloth towel had been turned in one direction, and smiled at them and said, "Are you here?"

"Yo" Luffy greeted with a smile.

Usopp gasped, hurried up to look at Luffy and said, "You're still alive?!"

Luffy said suspiciously: "Alive? Ah, I just got up!"

The child ran up and said anxiously: "Captain, leave him alone", "We know that there are pirates coming to attack the village", "Go and tell the villagers!"

Hearing these words, Usopp's face flashed with uncertainty, and then he raised his head and laughed and said, "Ahahahaha!!! That's my lie. It's because the butler guy said he was Pirates."

The three of Luffy watched him act calmly, but they didn't expose it.

"Haha, so that's how it is. I made an appointment with the little pirate. Hahaha." The children smiled and walked past Usopp directly to the village.

"What's wrong?" Usopp turned around and looked at them strangely.

The child stopped, but said without looking back:

"Captain, I despise you."

"Yes, I thought the captain was not such a person, so I followed you."

"Although the housekeeper is too much, he can't slander others like this."

After the children finished speaking, they continued to walk towards the village, and Usopp watched them leave with a complicated face...

..............................

The coast where Luffy fell, at night.

Nami was bandaging Usopp's wound, and Anke leaned over to take a look and said, "Wait a minute, Nami, the bullet seems to be still inside."

Nami took a closer look and said, "Really, it's too dark to see clearly, so what should I do now? Go to the clinic?"

"But the villagers don't care about me at all..." Usopp said with his head down.

An Ke took Xue Lian out and said, "Then, cut it off!"

"What???" the other four shouted.

An Ke covered her ears and said helplessly, "I'm just kidding, I'll take it out for you."

Usopp swallowed, looked at the ten-year-old girl with a knife in front of him, smiled sinisterly, and said weakly, "Can I refuse..."

"Refusal is useless, Luffy, Zoro, go!" Anke smiled sweetly holding a knife.Luffy and Zoro understood and went up to hold Usopp down.

Usopp watched Anke getting closer and closer with the knife in his hands, and screamed: "No!!!!!!"

..............................

Usopp rolled his eyes and asked Nami to help him bandage the wound. Enke put the knife behind his back and said with a smile, "Hehe, my technique is very good, and Xue Lian is cold, so it shouldn't hurt that much."

"Okay, okay!" As soon as Nami patted Usopp's wound, Usopp woke up from the pain, sat up and grinned while covering the wound.

"Why do you say that?" Luffy said lightly.

"Because I'm a liar, no one believes me, I'm so naive." Usopp bent his knees and said slowly.

Sauron came over and said, "Even if you are naive, facts are facts, and the pirates will really come tomorrow."

"People in the village think I'm lying, they think tomorrow will be a peaceful day, so," Usopp stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I'm going to fight pirates on the coast tomorrow, let this be a lie!! This is what I have to do as a liar!!" Then he sat down in pain because of pulling the injury, covered his face with his hands and continued: "Whether they will chase me with a broom or not, this is The village I like, the village I want to protect..." At the end of the words, Usopp choked up, tears streaming down slowly.

The four who had been quiet laughed.Sauron held the sword in his hand and said with a smile: "So you are a bad person, are you going to separate your subordinates and plan to do it alone?" An Ke said lightly: "It's a good reason, I haven't moved my body for a long time."

"Beforehand, the pirate's treasure belongs to me!" Nami said with a look of money fanatics.

"Okay! Let's join too!!" Luffy said boldly with a punch.

Usopp wiped his tears and said in disbelief: "Are you willing to fight with me?? Why?"

"Aren't there many people on the other side?" Luffy said, moving his fingers.

"Is there fear written on your face?" Zoro said, looking sideways at Usopp.

"I...how could I be afraid?? I am a brave sea warrior, Captain Usopp!!" Usopp stood up suddenly and retorted, but under the eyes of Luffy and others, he slowly lost his momentum. The eyes of Lu Fei and others shook their legs and shouted: "Yeah, so what if I'm just scared?? I can do it alone, I don't need your sympathy, let's go!! Go!!!!"

Sauron walked up slowly and said, "We didn't laugh at you, we just helped you because we thought you were amazing."

"Yes, I won't go all out because of sympathy!!" Luffy said seriously.

However, these simple words made Usopp burst into tears...

........................

"This is the only way to enter the village, and the others are all steep walls, that is to say, as long as you keep this place." Usopp said standing on the slope.

"Oh, easy." Luffy replied easily.

"It's easy to say," Usopp looked at the four people in front, and said, "What are your strengths?"

"Extend." Luffy said.

"Show cute." Encore.

"Kill people." Sauron.

"Steal something." Nami said.

"My word is to run away." Usopp said.After receiving four eye knives, Usopp trembled, and quickly said: "You're lying, I will fight too!! But," Usopp glanced at Luffy, Zoro and Nami, and under his gaze Yi finally settled on Anke: "The three of you are alright, what about the cute little girl whose advantage is?"

Luffy laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about that, Encore is very strong, and I will protect her too~~It's okay~~"

"Okay, then let's pour the oil here first." Usopp overturned a few barrels of oil and slowly filled the entire slope, "In this way, the pirates will have no way to climb this slope, wait When they roll in this oil, we'll catch 'em!"

Luffy sat down and lit the oil with his feet, and exclaimed, "So there's another way~"

"However, it will be over if we fall." Nami said worriedly, looking down at the slippery ground.

An Ke looked at the slightly bright sky and said, "It's almost dawn..."

The five looked east, waiting for the fierce battle to begin.

........................

The sky was already bright, but there was still no shadow of a boat on the sea.

"Why don't you come..." Luffy said boredly.

"Strange. He clearly said that he came to attack the village today." Usopp also said strangely.

Anke closed his eyes and felt domineeringly with his knowledge, then opened his eyes suddenly, and said, "Not this way!!! I feel a large group of people coming from the north!!"

Sauron listened carefully and said, "It seems to be someone's voice..."

Usopp's face turned pale instantly, and he said blankly: "There is a slope to the north, I saw them here yesterday, I thought they would attack from here..."

"Ah!!!! Our boat is parked over there!!!" Nami suddenly screamed, "My treasure!!!"

"The northern coast is only 3 minutes away from here, let's go there quickly!!" Usopp said anxiously.

"I'll be there in 20 seconds!!!" Luffy said, and ran away in a hurry.Usopp followed closely behind.

Zoro said to Nami behind him, "Hurry up, Nami!"

"Ah, oh!" Nami was going to run over, but her foot stepped on the oil at some point, slipped instantly, screamed and grabbed with both hands, just in time to grab Sauron's sword, and dragged Sauron to the ground. oil on top.

Seeing that Luffy ran away first, Anke planned to let Sauron carry her over, but she watched her ride being dragged by Nami, and hurried over and asked, "Are you all right?"

"Well, it's okay." Nami raised her head with difficulty, saw Sauron lying in front of her, and made a plan to climb out of the oil pile directly on Sauron's back. Encore looked at Nami in surprise. Zoro slid to the lower slope with a scream because of Mei's movement.

"I'm sorry, Sauron, because the treasure is in danger. Encore, I'll go first!" Nami ran away without looking back, leaving only Sauron's screams, "You bastard!! !"

Encore looked at the slope and found that only she and Zoro were left.After thinking about it for a while: Luffy should have followed Usopp over there, I will follow Sauron later.Then Anke sat down calmly, watching Sauron run quickly on the oil, then slipped, then ran, then slipped...

Well, Encore may have forgotten one thing, that is, Luffy didn't run with Usopp, he just ran first, then lost his way gloriously, and now he is still looking for which side is the north...
