One Piece East Blue

Chapter 86 The Liar’s Redemption

In the room, Si Ge observes Usopp through Observation Haki.

The reason why he showed Usopp the information just now was to test him and see if he is qualified to be Luffy’s partner.

Everything now has changed.

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and even Nami are no longer what they were.

Because of the appearance of Xi Ge, they are much stronger than before.

The current Luffy is not inferior even if he faces Lu Qi directly.

And this is because Si Ge didn’t tell Luffy how to open second gear.

With Luffy’s current physical fitness, he is fully equipped to activate the second gear.

The reason why I didn’t tell him was because the second gear had too much side effects on the body.

Frequent use will even reduce the life span and cause irreversible dark injuries.

To put it plainly, the second gear is to treat the body as a steam engine.

By increasing body pressure and accelerating blood flow, the body is strengthened.

This means that Luffy owns rubber fruit. If someone else is replaced, the blood vessels all over the body will burst due to the high blood pressure.

Luffy is just seventeen years old, and it is the time when his combat power is rapidly increasing.

After he finishes playing Crocodile and Enel, he should be able to grow to the point where he basically ignores the side effects of second block.

It’s not too late to tell him by then.

Luffy is like this, so are Zoro and Sanji.

Even Nami’s physical fitness has long been far superior to ordinary people under the subtle influence of Si Ge’s milk bottle fruit.

Of course, for Nami, Xi Ge pays more attention to the cultivation of knowledge.

To this end, he specifically asked Nuoqigao to collect a large amount of precious documents and books.

Everyone has become stronger, but Usopp is still the same.

It is precisely because of this that Xi Ge wants to test him to see if he has the qualifications to become a Luffy partner.

If Usopp can’t pass the test, even if Si Ge doesn’t say anything, Luffy probably won’t invite him.

For this, Xi Ge is still very confident.

Don’t look at Luffy who is usually stupid, but he is really wise and foolish.

And in terms of seeing people, he has a unique perspective.

The ancestral white prostitution, in fact, has gained a false name.

The straw hat passed from Roger to Shanks, and then from Shanks to Luffy.

The three of them are so alike, even their eyes are surprisingly consistent.

Roger had a glimpse of the street slipper dangling around East Blue, and later, the street slipper became Pluton Rayleigh.

Shanks saw the unemployed Benn Beckman at a glance, and now the unemployed has become the emperor’s deputy.

The same is true for Luffy. In Shimotsuki village, he saw the young Zoro at a glance.

Outside the house, Usopp’s hand has grabbed the doorknob.

With a light twist, he can enter the room.

Xi Ge is waiting for the result of the test, and Luffy is also waiting for Usopp’s choice.

‘Click’

The door opened a gap.

A figure pushed the door and walked in.

“Huh? Gentlemen, why are you here? Go inside. The dessert is ready.”

Melly, who wore a sheep haircut, beckoned, and a chef walked in with a carefully made snack.

Xi Ge smiled, and Luffy smiled too.

“The old, weak, sick, and disabled sunset gang, let’s go, eat dessert.” Xi Ge walked toward the castle without looking back.

Zep and Tom hurriedly followed: “By the way, Captain, can’t we change the name?”

“Yes, yes, the old man also thinks we should change to a well-known name.”

…

The three of them left, but Luffy and Sanji didn’t move.

“Master, let’s go out first.” Luffy yelled, and he was about to reach out and bring some desserts by the way.

But before his hand touched the dessert plate, he couldn’t help but gather towards his chest.

A baby bottle suddenly appeared in Luffy’s mouth.

Xi Ge didn’t look back: “Eat less sweets and more milk, you are so stupid, you still want to eat sweets.”

“Hmm~”

Luffy still wanted to resist, and was framed by Sanji and ran outside.

Xi Ge’s test of Usopp is simple and courageous.

He doesn’t require the opponent to be comparable to a monster like Luffy with a mortal body, but he wants the opponent to have enough courage.

If he doesn’t have the courage to fight for the village or Kaya, Xi Ge really doesn’t believe that he will fight to the death for his companions in the future.

The terrain of Xi Luobu Village is so high that if you want to attack from the sea, apart from the cliffs, there is only a steep slope.

This geographical advantage, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, also gives Usopp some capital to resist.

He hurriedly ran around the village: “Aunt Shanni, I want to buy oil. The more the better, I want it.”

“Uncle Bru, is there any scrap Iron Body today? Give me more.”

“…”

Luffy and Sanji quietly followed Usopp behind, watching him run by from one store to another, and finally bought a bunch of messy things.

Oil, small iron body, beans, water chestnuts, etc., are a big car.

He pushed the car hard and walked towards the slope outside the village.

“Hey, lie, what are you going to do?”

“Yes, brat who can only lie, why are you doing so many things?”

The villagers asked curiously.

Facing the villagers’ inquiries, Usopp suppressed the fear in his heart as much as possible, and barely squeezed out a smile: “Ah, there is a pirate here, and the brave Captain Usopp is going to fight the pirate and protect the village.”

At first, everyone was still a little confused about his behavior. Hearing what he said, everyone was filled with indignation: “You stinky boy, you know all day to lie!”

“Lie, didn’t you lie that the pirate came today? Why come again!”

“Don’t run away, brat, let’s teach you a lesson today!”

Seeing Usopp pushing the car and fleeing, everyone laughed, and then went on their own.

They didn’t notice the perseverance on Usopp’s face.

“Everyone still thinks I’m lying. That’s fine, it’s the price of my lying.”

On the slope outside the village, when Usopp finally pushed the car to come over, he found that two people were already waiting there.

“You…you…”

Usopp looked at Luffy and Sanji in amazement.

Luffy stood up slowly and pressed the straw hat on his head: “You deliberately lied and told them not to come here.”

Usopp didn’t speak, just moved the things in the car one by one and began to arrange them.

“What are you asking? There are more than a hundred people on the other side. You can’t stop them here.”

Seeing Usopp not answering, Luffy continued to ask.

“If you don’t try, you know you can’t stop it! Don’t underestimate me, I’m the brave sea fighter Captain Usopp!”

Usopp roared, as if to Luffy and Sanji, but more like to himself.

After roaring that sentence, he squatted down with his face in pain, tears streaming from his fingers.

He choked: “I lie every day, and I like to lie too.”

“So, I will fight the pirates at the beach and turn this matter into a lie!”

“This is the price I paid for lying, and the only way I can go as a liar!”
