Chapter 22 Usopp Appears

"Oh, what a pity, that uncle doesn't want to get on my boat."

On the sea, a pirate ship that used to be Buggy's ship was moving at a constant speed.

On the bow, Luffy was a little bored.

"That man has lost the courage to sail!"

Zoro said casually as he was working out with a huge barbell.

"After 20 years of pursuing a treasure chest, it turned out to be empty. The uncle must be very desperate."

Nami also felt a little emotional.

Just a day ago, several people encountered a deserted island while sailing.

On it is found a man who had been trapped in an empty treasure chest for 20 years.

What he was pursuing was the treasure on the huge rock on the island.

But he was unable to climb up the rock because he could no longer get out of the treasure chest.

After a few people arrived and took him to the huge rock, they discovered that there was no treasure, only a pile of empty treasure chests.

The man also completely gave up. Luffy once invited the man to board the ship, but was rejected by the man.

"Okay Luffy, at least that old man told us some useful information, right?"

Bai Ye comforted Luffy.

Before the few people left, the man told them what he knew and his confidence in the Grand Line.

The Grand Route is a very special sea area.

Whether it is the first half called paradise or the second half called the new world.

Apart from the many vicious pirates, the most dangerous thing about the voyage is actually natural disasters.

In this sea area, from geomagnetism to celestial phenomena, from ocean currents to air currents, it can be said that there is almost no trace to be found.

In this place, no navigation technology is as reliable as a recording compass.

One of the keys to sailing in such waters is a pirate ship that can handle extreme weather.

"Xiluobu Village?"

Luffy heard Bai Ye's story and asked in confusion: "Can we find a shipbuilder there?"

"It should be possible." Bai Ye nodded and said, "According to the information obtained from Baki's crew, there is a wealthy family in Xiluobu Village, and their housekeeper can build ships."

"Not good! Not good!"

In Xiluobu Village, a panicked voice sounded:

"Pirates!!! Pirates are coming!!!"

"The pirates have entered the village!!! Everyone, run for your lives!!!"

With the desperate cries, the villagers of Xiluobu Village knew that a new day had begun.

Some people were watching the young people running around outside at home, laughing and scolding:

"This lying cloth has started again. It really happens every day."

Someone also opened the door and called out to the young man who was running and shouting:

"Hey, Usopp, you got up really early today."

Of course, there were also those with bad tempers who rushed out of the room and cursed at the young man:

"You bastard, don't wake me up so early in the morning! If I catch you, I will definitely teach you a lesson!!!"

But no matter what, no one would believe something like "Pirates are coming".

The young man's name is Usopp. He has curly hair, wears a brown headscarf, and brown overalls.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is his long nose inherited from his mother.

Usopp's father is a pirate. After knowing that his wife is pregnant, he resolutely chooses to go out to sea as a pirate and says, "The pirate flag is calling me."

Although Usopp's mother had a very difficult life due to his father's irresponsibility, and even died of illness when Usopp was very young, his mother never blamed her husband.

When his mother was dying, in order to keep her going, Usopp lied and said that pirates had come to the village.

It was also from this time that everyone in the village could hear Usopp's lie "Pirates are coming" early in the morning.

Influenced by his mother, Usopp's dream since childhood was to become a brave sea warrior.

This day was like any other. After dodging the pursuit of some villagers, Usopp finally arrived at the most luxurious villa in the village.

He looked around first, then carefully climbed over the wall and climbed up the big tree in the yard.

"Keya, I'm here."

Usopp happily greeted a figure in the window of the second floor of the villa.

"Usopp, you're here!!"

A pleasant female voice was heard. It was the voice of Keya, the owner of the villa.

Kaya originally had a happy family, but her parents unfortunately passed away before, and her health became increasingly weak.

Usopp felt very sympathetic towards Kaya because of his similar life experience, so he came to the villa at this time every day and made up all kinds of experiences for Kaya to make her happy.

"Finally, I led a large pirate group of 8000 men to their lair and found a golden fish that was bigger than an island!"

Usopp finished his story while dancing on the tree.

"Wow, there is such a thing?"

Keya also cheered very enthusiastically. Due to her health reasons, she couldn't even go downstairs often, so she longed for the outside world.

In this way, the two young people established an extraordinary friendship through a window.

As for why Usopp didn't go through the front door?

Of course it was because the housekeeper of this villa, Krahatel, did not allow the young lady to contact outsiders, not to mention Usopp, the big liar in the village.

"Ms. Keya, I think I've said it many times that you'd better not meet with outsiders."

Krahatl walked into the room and bowed slightly.

"Don't keep the windows open all the time. Too much wind is not good."

Before Kaya could explain anything, Krahatel walked to the window.

"And you, if you sneak into the villa's yard again next time, I will definitely hand you over to the village chief."

Klahatl, who was wearing a black butler uniform and had a slicked-back hair, adjusted his glasses with his hand and said.

"Keya, I'm leaving now and will come to see you tomorrow."

Usopp ignored the man, tilted his head, greeted Kaya, and climbed down the tree.

"Really, Krahat, don't do this to Usopp."

Ke Ya complained somewhat helplessly.

"Miss, I don't really understand why you are so nice to this big liar."

Krahatl said as he closed the window.
