good brother

That night.

"Leave tonight?"

"Yes, let's go tonight."

Everyone sat around in their large bedroom, discussing plans.

"We have no reason to stay here anymore."

Sauron said.

"The navy doesn't know what to do."

Sanji said while exhaling smoke rings.

"I don't know very well, but three days have passed and the reinforcements must have arrived."

Angel sat next to Luffy and said.

"Crocodile has been defeated, so there is no doubt that their target is you."

Angel patted Luffy's head with a smile.

"After this incident, the price of this head must be raised, and the Navy Headquarters may take action."

"As for the reinforcements, it's likely to be Colonel Tina, a very troublesome opponent. Don't expect me to take action against the navy."

"Then let's go quickly."

Nami looked at Luffy.

"Luffy, you decide."

"Ah."

Luffy nodded.

"Then eat another Alabasta meal and go!"

"Let's go now!"

"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

"A person who claimed to be Feng Jiang called and said that he had something important to do with the Straw Hats."

"Huh? Feng Jiang?"

Everyone reacted for a while and didn't know who Feng Jiang was referring to, but Sanji, who was the closest, picked up the phone without any hassle.

"Hey! Hahahahaha! It's my slave! I..."

"Ba card..."

Sanji hung up the phone with a look of lovelessness, but the phone bug rang with an even harsher voice.

"Hello? Is that the ladyboy? What can you do with us?"

Luffy sat on the bed cross-legged and picked up the phone.

"Oh, it's Straw Hat Sauce, you're amazing, I'm so happy that I'm going to cry!"

"Speak the key."

Sauron said lightly.

"I'm leaving your ship."

"What are you talking about, bastard!"

"Where are you now!"

"On your boat, up the San Dora River!"

"You dead monster!"

"Well, listen to what people say."

The phone bug showed an extremely wretched smile.

"Aren't we friends!"

"friend?"

Luffy tilted his head and didn't want to understand the inevitable connection between this friend and the ship that drove them away.

"Thank you, Feng Jiang."

Angel suddenly said with a smile.

"Help us protect the Meili."

"Oh, I actually understand the painstaking efforts of the slave family! The slave family is so touched! Ah, but there is no time, it will be bad if it is monitored, and I will hang up first!"

"Bar card."

As the phone bug fell asleep, everyone turned their attention to Angel who had just spoken.

"Angel, you said he helped us protect the Meili?"

Usopp, who valued the Merry the most, became nervous when he heard the name.

"Yeah, didn't I just say that?"

Angor said.

"The navy's reinforcements have arrived. At least there will be dozens of warships. The Meili is not hidden at all. It is easy for the navy to find and confiscate it. Direct bombardment is not out of the question."

"Ahhh! My Meili!"

Usopp hugged his head and yelled.

"Luffy! Let's go!"

Sanji stood up and began to pack his luggage.

"Ah."

"That...everyone..."

At this time, Weiwei who sat on the side with her head bowed and silent for a long time was talking with some confusion.

"what should I do?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the originally lively room fell silent in an instant.

The Straw Hats naturally want Weiwei to go with them, but they all know that this matter is not so easy.

Weiwei is a princess, a princess who has just experienced war and is rebuilding her country.

And no one knows better than the Straw Hats how much she loves this country.

However, if Weiwei was really allowed to stay like this, she would still be a little unwilling.

"Vivi."

Angel said suddenly.

"This is a choice that concerns your entire life. We can't help you choose. We can only give you some advice."

"Going to sea, you can get freedom and adventure. What you give up is your responsibility as a princess, but you have done a lot for this country, and no one will blame you even if you leave."

"Stay, and there is no doubt that you will become the greatest queen, leading your people to prosperity."

Angel looked into Weiwei's eyes.

"You think about what you want and what is most important to you."

"I……"

Vivi lowered her head again.

"Why don't you, Vivi."

Nami smiled.

"It's hard for you to come up with an answer like this. Why don't we go to Donggang tomorrow at noon."

"We will pass by there, but you only have a chance to get on the boat for a moment, if you want to come with us, come!"

"Come together, Weiwei! How happy it is to be a pirate!"

Lu Fei danced and said, but was beaten down by Angel and dragged away.

"Let Weiwei decide for herself."

"……Yes."

A few hours later, up the San Dora River, the Merry.

"Feng sauce—!"

The speechless Luffy and Usopp, who were touched by Von Clay because of Angor's explanation, started waving at Von Clay who was sitting on the railing of the Merry from a distance.

"Straw hat sauce!"

Angel looked at the three people who were making a fuss together, and held his forehead helplessly.

"There is no time now, do you know what kind of existence Tina is?"

"Tina? Who is it?"

Angel looked at Lu Fei's puzzled eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he showed a bright smile.

"Luffy~"

"Ok?"

"Next time I speak, listen carefully!"

"Ahh! It hurts!"

noon the next day

"Damn it, there's no way to escape like this!"

On the Mei Li, which was full of iron spears, everyone looked anxiously at the eight warships surrounding them.

"Like I said, Tina is very powerful."

Angor wore a big cloak and folded his arms to watch Luffy and the others go around to resist the attack of the navy.

"I advise you to hurry up, the navy from other places will come to support soon."

"It's not what we want to hurry up now!"

Sanji bit his cigarette and kicked an iron spear away.

"It would be nice if you could fight in close quarters."

"You guys are a team."

Angel said lightly.

"The three main forces are good at melee combat, but isn't there a sniper who can hit every shot?"

With this sentence, everyone looked at Usopp.

"Eh? Me?"

Usopp pointed to himself uncertainly.

"Who else can you be? It's up to you whether you can find a breakthrough now."

Angor looked at him with a smile.

"As long as you can hit a warship and create an opportunity, we have a chance to escape."

Usopp's hands trembled slightly.

He has always been the one with the least sense of presence in this team, and he can even be said to be the one with the least presence.

There has never been a time when he has had to shoulder such a big responsibility, because he knows that even if he loses, there will be others who can come to the rescue.

but now……

Can I... can I do it...

"Usopp!"

Luffy suddenly laughed.

"Get ready to fire! We wait for our chance!"

There was full of trust in those eyes.

"...Oh! Just wait and see my uncle sink them all!"

Usopra lowered his goggles and aimed at the opposite warship.

"Obey and wait for the opportunity I create! Little ones!"

"emission!"

"Bam—!"
