[One Piece] Courage to Dream

No.30 Let it be a lie

"Pirates... Pirates are coming to attack this village, everyone run away!!"

When he heard Usopp's panicked cry, Luffy was grabbing an uncle and asking him if he would help build the ship. Visually, that uncle was about to collapse.

"It's that guy..." Luffy let go of his hand, and that uncle immediately disappeared like a bird in the air.

Sauron stood far away, with a Chopper on his head, looking like he had been mustarded for a long time: "What is he doing?"

"Pirates are going to attack this village?" Jyoti, standing next to Sauron, repeated Usopp's words. According to Usopp's habit of lying, the credibility is questionable.

"Hahaha, what a funny guy!" Luffy started laughing again.

"Everyone... run away..." Usopp ran into the village, panting, "The pirates will come in the evening, run away..."

Here we go again, there is no end!

The villagers surrounded him with anger on their faces.

"Hey, Usopp, are you enough!" A man took the lead and shouted.

"No, no, no!" Usopp was stunned, and hurriedly explained, "Everyone, listen to me, Carat is actually the pirate Crowe, he..."

"Usopp! You have to limit your bragging! We all know Carat, how could he be a pirate?!" The uncles and aunts beside him chimed in.

"No, what I said is true..." Usopp, who has always been famous for bragging in the village, was misunderstood by the villagers.

"That's enough, Usopp! I've put up with you for a long time!!" Seeing that he still had the same attitude, several people picked up brooms and mops, threatening to hit him.

"Trust me, this time it's true!!" Usopp was still defending.

"This guy...!" Seeing that Usopp was still talking stubbornly, as if he didn't want to fool everyone into giving up, those few people couldn't bear it anymore, and greeted Usopp with the things in their hands.

Usopp was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his head, only heard a few muffled sounds, but the pain he imagined did not come.

He put down the hand covering his head, looked up, and saw a boy wearing a straw hat standing in front of him, raising his hand to block the villagers' attacks for him.

"Lu, Luffy...?" Usopp recognized Luffy.

Luffy turned his head, with a serious face on his face: "What you said...is it true?"

"Ah...well..." Usopp nodded hurriedly, "Kara's pirate group will attack soon, and... Kaya is also in danger!"

"...Lu Fei-san, do you really believe him?" After wandering around Sibro Village for a long time, Jyoti had heard about Usopp's style, and even had a personal experience when they met.

"Yeah!" Luffy affirmed.

At the end he added two more words: "Intuition."

Well... Jyoti silently swallowed the complaint back to the bottom of her heart.

"Let's go, Zoro."

"Ah? Where are you going?" Sauron said when he heard Luffy calling himself.

"Do you still need to ask? Of course we stopped them." Lu Fei patted his little muscles and said, "Since everyone thinks it's a lie, then I... let it be a complete lie!"

"Huh?" Usopp looked at Luffy puzzled.

The corner of his mouth curled into a confident smile as always, and the boy's slightly thin figure showed a compelling domineering for no reason. He said to Usopp:

"I will stop them. Pirates... will never show up this evening!!"
