Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 39 In the Name of Partner



"Ah...ah?"

Usopp's expression suddenly became dull.

He blinked in disbelief at Luffy's sudden invitation.

"You...you're not joking, are you?"

"of course not!"

Luffy immediately replied: "Chihong said that you are a very good sniper, and I happen to be short of a sniper on the ship!"

"Chihong...is this the deputy captain?"

Usopp turned his head.

After a brief conversation, he already had some understanding of the Straw Hat crew's staffing.

However, Usopp never expected that the big pirate with a bounty of 5000 million Bailey would invite him to go to sea together.

This is just like my father back then!

however……

After struggling and thinking for a while, Usopp still showed an awkward yet polite smile:

"Although I am very grateful to Luffy for the invitation, I am Captain Usopp who has 8000 million followers!"

"I'm sorry, my personality dictates that I won't be inferior to others."

"........."

After Usopp finished speaking, the entire restaurant suddenly became quiet as if a cold wind had been blown in.

Snapped!

Nami slapped her forehead with a speechless expression.

You don't need to think about it to know that the new partner Chi Hong has found is another "talent"!

"Huh?" Luffy didn't show any disappointment after being rejected, but just when he was about to invite him again, Chihong suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Luffy."

Red smiled and stood up, sitting opposite Usopp.

"Um, what...what happened?"

For some reason, just by looking into those red eyes, Usopp could feel an unprecedented pressure.

just like……

All his secrets were lost in front of this man.

as predicted!

As soon as Chi Hong opened his mouth, Usopp's nerves immediately became tense.

"Miss Keya..." Chihong chuckled: "How are you feeling lately?"

"!!!" Usopp trembled inwardly: "You...you know Miss Keya?"

Who is the person Usopp cares about most in the entire West Rob Village...

That must be Keya!

In addition to being deeply attracted to Usopp because of Keya's frail and pleasant appearance...

More importantly, Keya is the first person in the village who believes him and listens carefully to his lies.

However, Chihong shook her head: "No, I don't know Miss Keya."

"It's just...I heard that there is a pirate group who is plotting against Keya."

"It seems that they want to plunder the Keya family's property."

"What did you say!?"

Usopp stood up suddenly, his pupils zoomed violently, and his worry was palpable.

"What's going on!?" He quickly asked Chihong excitedly.

Usopp cares about Keya even more than he imagined.

But facing Usopp, who was experiencing severe mood swings, Chihong just smiled softly, and then waved her hand leisurely to signal him not to be so excited.

A strange color suddenly flashed across those pair of ancient and unwavering eyes.

Red smiled and said to Usopp:

"The Black Cat Pirates disappeared three years ago. Do you have any impressions of them?"

Usopp nodded and immediately told the information he knew:

"The big pirate group with a total bounty of over 3000W Bailey!"

"I remember that their captain Crow was killed by the navy three years ago, and the entire pirate group disappeared in the East China Sea."

"Could it be that the remnants of the Black Cat Pirates want to harm Keya!?"

"No, this is not just a remnant."

Chihong chuckled, took out a bounty order found in the 153rd Marine Branch, slowly spread it out in front of Usopp, and said:

"The real Crowe is not actually dead. He is actually lurking in the Keya family's home and serving as the Keya family's housekeeper."

"Look at this bounty order that has been abandoned by the navy. Do you have any impressions?"

"This...this is!!?"

Usopp suddenly slapped his hands on the table and fell into a state of fear as he looked at the bounty order that Chihong took out.

You can’t go wrong!

Isn't the person on the reward order the housekeeper beside Keya? !

This... what's going on! ?

Usopp's brain shut down instantly.

When he thought that there was a vicious pirate next to Keya, he wanted to run to Keya's house immediately and tell her all this.

Usopp's eyes flashed and he suddenly said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I suddenly thought that I have something important to do, so I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to leave the restaurant.

But at this moment, Chi Hong stopped him:

"Wait a minute, Usopp!"

"Your reputation in this village doesn't seem to be very good, right?"

"Do you think it's possible for Keya and the people in the villa to believe what you say with just your empty words?"

"What's more, even if you reveal Crow's identity as a pirate, can you guarantee that he will not kill you and Keya in anger?"

"..."

Usopp stopped suddenly, his legs feeling as heavy as lead.

Beads of sweat fell from his forehead and dripped on the dining table.

Seeing this scene, Chihong smiled calmly, put one hand on the table, and tapped her fingers lightly on the table.

"Let's do this, Usopp..."

"How about we make a deal!"

"Gudong~" Usopp choked suddenly and turned to look at Chi Hong.

But when he noticed Chihong's dark and deep eyes and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, for a moment, he felt like a puppet on strings, always there Being manipulated by the man in front of me.

"What...what deal?" Usopp asked boldly.

But Chihong just smiled slightly and patted Luffy on the shoulder.

"Of course it's to fulfill our captain's wish..."

"You come and join our pirate group, and we will help you solve all your troubles in the name of our partners!"

"This……"

Usopp hesitated again.

But his hesitation was not because he wanted to refuse Chihong's deal.

He just couldn't figure out how worthy and capable he was to be invited by Luffy and Red, the captain and deputy captain of the Straw Hats!

You know, they are big pirates with a bounty of 5000W Bailey! ! !

Is it just because his father is a crew member of the Yonko? !

Although he always talks conceited words and tells outrageous lies, Usopp himself knows very well how much he has.

The distortion of being extremely conceited on the outside and feeling extremely inferior on the inside is vividly displayed in him.

Just a few seconds later, Usopp nodded vigorously:

"Although I don't know what you value about me! But as long as you can deal with the pirates of the Keya family, I am willing to join your group."

"No, no, no..." Chihong shook her head: "I think you got the order wrong, Usopp."

"You didn't join us until we solved the pirates..."

"But if you join us, we will deal with the pirates!"

"After all, it's only natural to help your friends, isn't it?"

"That's right! Hee hee!" Luffy smiled and extended his hand to Usopp: "You are a sniper praised by Red. I must make you my partner!"

"You..." Usopp was speechless for a moment, "You are really a strange group of guys."

But soon, a wild laugh appeared on his face.

"But since you need me so much, then I will join you!"

He stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Luffy.

For some reason, Chihong obviously just changed the order of the sentences so that it would not affect the ending, but Usopp inexplicably felt a sense of being taken seriously.

Maybe I'm not as bad as I thought?

Moreover, isn't it his long-cherished dream to go to sea and become a pirate and a brave sea warrior?

Unexpectedly, this dream that he had never pursued because of his timidity and fear would now be realized in this way.

"So, are we going to the villa on the top of the mountain next?"

Zoro, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and then said to Luffy and Red:

"By the way, can you leave that guy in a while to me?"

"I want to test the results of these two days of practice."
