Luffy: STOP IT RIGHT NOW! 

Luffy felt Kuro slash him, and that's when he hit him! 

Luffy: GOT YOU! 

Kuro: AGH! DAMN YOU! WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE?! Instead of dying quickly, my poor pawns are suffering! Do you have anything to say? 

Luffy: Yeah, I'm never going to become like you! 

Kuro: Don't worry, you could never be like me. Now time to kill y- 

But before Kuro could move, Luffy grabbed Kuro! 

Luffy: Now try and see if your fancy footwork will save you! 

Meanwhile... 

Usopp and Yang saw Jango in full view who was getting his ass kicked! 

Yang: HEY ASSHOLE! 

Jango: WHAT?! 

(Y/N): YANG! 

Weiss: What kept you? 

Yang: THE HERO IS HERE! 

Kaya: USOPP! 

Yang: HIT HIM NOW, LONG NOSE! 

Usopp: RIGHT! HEY HYPNOTIST! 

Usopp got out his slingshot. 

Back with Luffy... 

Kuro: LET GO OF ME YOU CRETIN! 

Luffy: Not a chance! Your three-year plan ends right here! 

Ruby: YEAH! KICK HIS BUTT LUFFY! 

Black Cat Pirate: YEAH! GET HIM RUBBER BOY! TAKE CAPTAIN KURO DOWN! 

Luffy: SHUT UP! 

Luffy stretched his head right to the Black Cat Pirates! 

Luffy: WHO SAID YOU COULD ROOT FOR ME?! 

Ruby: YEAH! HIT HIM NOW LUFFY! 

Luffy: GUM GUM- 

Kuro: NO! THIS WON'T HAPPEN! MY PLAN WILL NOT FAIL! 

Back with the others... 

Usopp: SUCK ON THIS! SPECIAL ATTACK: EXPLODING STAR!!! 

Jango: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

Jango was hit with an exploding bullet to his face! 

Back with Luffy... 

Luffy: BELL! 

He head-butted Kuro in the face! 

Kuro was defeated, his glasses flying straight off his face. 

Ruby: HAHAHAHA! YES! 

Black Cat Pirates: I don't believe this. He actually beat Captain Kuro! Kuro of the Thousand Plans, the man who tricked the Marines for 3 whole years, he lost. Just who the hell is this kid? 

Ruby: He's the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates! 

Luffy: The name is Monkey D. Luffy! You really think I would let some pirate who gave up his name and quit the sea defeat me? NO! A real pirate would die before he'd do either of those things! You all should remember that name because I'M GOING TO BE KING OF THE PIRATES!! 

Ruby: (nodding) Yep, that he is. 

Luffy: Now- TAKE THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE AND NEVER COME BACK! 

He threw Kuro's unconscious body over to them! 

And as the Black Cat Pirates took off with Kuro, Siam, and Butchie, Ruby caught the collapsing Luffy. 

Ruby: Great job there, Captain. Even a strong like you isn't invincible. 

Luffy: I need a steak. 

Ruby: Hahahaha, I bet! You and your meat. 

In the forest... 

(Y/N): Looks like it's all over. 

Weiss: You mean- 

(Y/N): Yep, Luffy beat Kuro. It's over. 

Yang: And with that, the Black Cat Pirates are finished! Hell yeah, all thanks to the Brave and Mighty Captain Usopp! 

Usopp: (blushing) OH STOP IT! Say, you guys can keep this a secret right? 

Carrot: SECRET?! A SECRET?! YOU SAVED THE FREAKING VILLAGE! 

Pepper: Everyone would love you! 

Onion: Yeah! You would be the village hero! 

Kaya: Yeah, Usopp, they have the right to know what you did. 

Usopp: What I did? Who would believe the guy who's lied over and over to the town saved them. They wouldn't need to worry about it. This attack was unusual. Pirates hardly ever bother to raid out-of-the-way villages like ours. That knowledge makes them feel safe. I mean, why ruin their peace of mind? Today was just another lie. 

Weiss: Wow, that's very mature and selfless of you. 

Carrot: Well, I'll keep it! For the village! 

Pepper: Me too! 

Onion: So will I! I'll carry it to the grave! 

Usopp: And you Kaya? 

Kaya: Yes, of course. 

The next day... 

Villager: 7:00?! 

Villager 2: Where's Usopp? He usually comes running and screaming today. 

Villager 3: Hey Mom, why isn't Mr. Usopp running through? 

Villager 4: Were we too hard on him last time? 

Villager 5: I'm sure he'll show up. 

At Kaya's mansion... 

Merry: WHAT!? Ms. Kaya, are you sure about this? Just pretend it didn't happen? 

Kaya: Usopp believes it's best for the villagers. So, I'll keep this secret for him. What about you Merry? 

Merry: Ms. Kaya, I've known you ever since you were a little girl. I've seen you grow up into the woman you are now. If you think this is the right thing to do, I'll support you all the way. 

Kaya: Great, oh, and Merry, I have another request. 

On another hand... 

Usopp got Pepper, Carrot, and Onion together. 

Pepper: What is it Captain Usopp? 

Usopp: Listen up men, you fought bravely today against the Black Cat Pirates! You've brought honor to the Usopp Pirates! As your captain, I'm proud of you! Five years ago, when you were all jut four, we formed this crew together, and we had too much fun. So, it makes me hard to say- I'M GOING TO BECOME A REAL PIRATE! 

Usopp Pirates: WHAT?! 

Usopp: Yep! Those guys, they inspired me, seeing them all fight, it made me realize I have much more potential inside of me. So I'm leaving the village! The sea iscalling to me! 

Pepper: It has to be a lie! Come on! 

Onion: You love the village! 

Carrot: What about us? 

Usopp: I'm not going to say goodbye, so give the others my best. 

Usopp Pirates: BUT CAPTAIN- 

Usopp: All those times were good times. What are your ambitions? 

Carrot: I want to run a tavern! 

Pepper: I want to be a master carpenter! 

Onion: I want to become an author and write stories about you! 

Usopp: Then you must swear to keep those dreams alive! Today, the Usopp Pirates are disbanded! 

Back with you guys... 

Kaya found you all eating at the restaurant. 

Kaya: Good, I thought I would find you here. 

(Y/N): Oh, hey Kaya. 

Blake: Aren't you supposed to be recuperating? 

Kaya: I'll manage. My illness was caused by the shock and sadness of losing my parents. Usopp brought my spirits up, but I can't depend on him forever. And you do still need a ship, right? 

Luffy: YOU'LL GIVE US ONE?! 

Kaya: Yep! 

As for Usopp... 

Usopp was trying to drag a bag out of his house! 

Usopp: COME ON! I PUT TOO MUCH EFFORT INTO THIS! COME ON! GET OU- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

The door broke down and Usopp went tumbling down the hills! 

At the same time... 

(Y/N): HOLY CRAP! 

Zoro: Now that's a ship. 

Ruby: IT'S SO PRETTY! 

Merry: I present to you this wonderful Caravel! With a jib and a central Stern Rudder, the Going Merry! 

(Y/N): Going Merry, a ship worthy of the future King of the Pirates. 

Merry: I'm surprised you folks are the ones who helped Usopp defeat the Black Cat Pirates. You all are so young! 

Luffy: You're actually going to give this to us? 

Kaya: It's all yours. It's also stocked with everything you might need. 

???: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! 

Ruby: Hey, is that- 

Yang: Usopp? Yep. 

Usopp was tumbling down. 

Usopp: SOMEBODY HELP ME! 

You, Luffy, and Zoro stopped him. 

Usopp: Thank you. 

Later... 

Kaya: You're actually going out to sea, Usopp? 

Usopp: That I am! I have to go now before my resolve weakens! But when I come back, I'll have many stories, except they'll be true! 

Kaya: Great! I look forward to all of them! 

Usopp: Well, see you guys! 

(Y/N): See you? 

Usopp: Hey, we're all pirates, so we might cross paths so- 

Zoro: Just shut up and get on board. 

Weiss: You're one of us now. If you want. 

Usopp: Huh? 

Luffy: We're friends right? 

Usopp: F-Friends? I ... 

Usopp had the biggest smile on his face! 

Usopp: (jumping in the air) YEAH! I'M THE CAPTAIN, RIGHT?! 

(Y/N) and Weiss: LUFFY IS THE CAPTAIN YOU MORON/DOLT! 

The Usopp Pirates looked on as the Going Merry left! 

Carrot: There he goes. 

Onion: On the bright side, he's got new buddies to keep him company. 

Pepper: Exactly, and they're good people too. 

Merry and Kaya watched too. 

Merry: You know Ms. Kaya, the villagers told me that after his father left, Usopp lost his mother too. It was the day before she passed away, she was wasting away on the brink of death. 

Back then ... 

Usopp: PIRATES! PIRATES! 

A kid Usopp ran into the house. 

Usopp: DAD IS BACK! HE'S BACK MOM! HE's BACK! He said when you get better, he'll take us with him! 

Usopp's Mother: Usopp, don't be foolish, your father isn't coming back. But, I'm glad I married him. I want you to become a great man like him. 

Usopp: Hey, don't tell me you're going to die! Come on! Didn't you know about the Wonder Medicine? It can cure any illness! You'll be okay! 

Usopp's Mother: Usopp, don't be silly. Look, if I pass on- 

Usopp: COME ON! DON'T! I WANT TO KEEP DREAMING! I'M THE SON OF A PIRATE AFTER ALL! 

Present... 

Merry: He kept going on and on about that warning in despair, long after his mother died. He hoped that his father would come back and take him away. Living in this village, and losing both of his parents. I suppose he had to create his own hope somehow. You'll have to be strong too. You can't let him down after all he did for us. 

Kaya: I know. But, he's got new friends now. Merry, I think I- 

Merry: Yes? 

Kaya: I'm going to study and become a doctor! 

Merry: What a wonderful goal! 

On the Merry... 

Luffy: HEY GUYS! IT'S FINISHED! 

Luffy: THE SYMBOL OF THE STRAW HAT PIRATES! HAHAHAHAHAHA! PRETTY COOL HUH?! 

(Y/N): Uh ... 

Ruby: What kind of ... design is this? 

Weiss: The idiot design? 

Zoro: Aren't pirate flags supposed to bring terror? 

Yang: It's freaking me out, that's for sure. 

Usopp: Luffy, Luffy, you should leave this kind of stuff to me! 

Weiss: Who votes on Usopp? 

Everyone Else, except Luffy: ME! 

In a few seconds... 

(Y/N): NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! 

Usopp: Yep! I've been drawing for years! I'm a man of many talents! 

Ruby: Welcome aboard, Brave Warrior of the Sea. 

And with that, another Straw Hat was on board. 

TO BE CONTINUED...

(Y/N): Hey what's up guys?! Usopp is now on the crew, and while practicing shooting one of the cannons, we end up running into Yosaku and Johnny, old friends of Zoro from his days as the Pirate Hunter! While getting acquainted with them, a Marine named Fullbody launches an attack on us, and near a restaurant called the Baratie, which is floating on the island! Luffy ends up damaging the place during the fight, and the head chef, Zeff, makes him work there for a whole year as the Chore Boy to pay it off! Zeff is a pretty good cook, and he has a sous-cheff named Sanji who is a massive pervert! I really hope Luffy doesn't ask this guy onto the crew! 

Luffy: On the next chapter, The Floating Restaurant, Baratie!/Sanji the Perverted Chef! I'M GOING TO BE THE KING OF THE PIRATES!!
