Chapter 19 Usopp appears! (Ch 19)

One day later.
There were still fourteen days until Gray was released.
Thirty nautical miles away from Xiluobu Village in the East China Sea.
The Shark Supreme sailed quietly on the sea.
“Haven’t we reached the next village yet?”
“I can’t hold on any longer…”
Eden was lying on the railing of the pirate ship’s deck, his face ashen. After a day of sailing on the sea, his spirit had reached its limit.
All in all, this world surrounded by the sea, where the only means of transportation is by boat, is simply a disaster for a dragon slayer like him who has just begun to awaken the power of dragons.
“I am almost done with it.”
“Meat, I want meat…”
Luffy also collapsed to the ground like Eden.
This guy ate all the meat he had on the first morning out at sea…
So now he has not eaten for nearly sixteen hours, and he is almost at his limit.
“No, if you get seasick, you shouldn’t go out to sea in the first place.”
In response, Buggy slumped on the deck with a look of despair on his face and spoke angrily.
The entire pirate group, including the suspected captain Eden, is a seasick loser. Although Juvia is very powerful, she has zero knowledge about the sea…
There is also a cat that only causes trouble all day long, and a navigator with calculating eyes. The only one who works effectively is Buggy.
As for Luffy and Zoro, they are simply members of other pirate groups.
“I really got on the wrong ship.”
“Hurry up and get a vice admiral to arrest us all and send us to Impel Down.”
Buggy looked at the sky helplessly. He suddenly recalled the time more than 20 years ago when Shanks invited him before he was about to go out to sea…
Come to think of it, why did he refuse at that time?!
If I had agreed, would I not have to suffer like this today?
Although, if Buggy had the ability to reverse time and space and go back to the day when Captain Roger was executed, Buggy would definitely refuse Shanks’ invitation…
Although Bucky is a funny guy, both in behavior and personality, there is something in his bones that prevents him from bowing his head easily.
“Okay, okay…”
“Stop arguing…”
“We’re almost at our next destination! We’ll let you take a good rest and get some supplies, which are not too long in coming.”
Nami looked at the group of unreliable companions on the deck and spoke rather weakly.
“Great! I can finally have a good rest.”
Upon hearing this, Eden spoke excitedly.
“Meat! We’ll be able to eat meat soon.”
Luffy suddenly perked up.
“I hope there will be a strong swordsman on the island.”
Zoro was looking forward to it.
“I want to eat salted fish.”
“Although there is sea everywhere here, I can eat different delicious salted fish every day, that’s it.”
The harpy stretched out his cat’s paw and spoke excitedly.
Well, the world of pirates is simply a paradise for Harpy.
Because here, Hubby can eat different fish every day.
“By the way, Brother Eden and Habby, do any of you remember that our first mission now is to gather intelligence and find our lost companions?!”
In response, Juvia spoke weakly.
Yes, Juvia knew that the magicians of their Fairy Tail Guild were always unreliable…
“We have to wait until we’re full before we can gather intelligence or anything like that.”
Eden preached righteously.
“Love~”
“Eden is right.”
Happy immediately echoed Eden’s words.
Ever since Harpy was found by Eden, this mean cat has been clinging to Eden’s thighs and has been singing the same tune with Eden…
At least until everyone finds Natsu, Happy will listen to Eden.
Well, harpies are just that mean.
On the other side, Xiluobu Village.
“Captain Usopp is not well.”
“It’s a pirate ship!”
When the Shark Supreme arrived near the village, it was immediately attacked by several of Usopp’s minions…
To be precise, some of the kids who shared the same ideals as Usopp, who were not very studious and were always mischievous in the village, took telescopes and noticed the situation in Eden.
“Pirate ship, is this true?!”
Usopp’s face suddenly changed, he didn’t have a very good reputation in the village because when he had nothing to do, he liked to tell little lies and always told the adults in the village that pirates were coming.
Of course, this is just a way for Usopp to attract the attention of the adults in the village~
However, this also caused the adults in the village to always call him Liar Usopp.
“It seems that it is time to prove my strength to the adults in the village! I will be the one to drive away these pirates…”
Usopp said this, and took out his slingshot, came to the beach, and waited quietly for the arrival of the pirate ship.
Along with it, the majestic ship seemed to be able to accommodate hundreds of people. It was more like a battleship than a pirate ship, more appropriately the Shark Shigo. It was getting closer and closer to the coast of the village, and Usopp’s hands were shaking more and more.
To be honest, this was the first time he faced a real pirate…
It was not until the pirate ship really stopped and the pirates got off the ship one after another that Usopp mustered up the courage and said loudly: “Brave! This is Captain Usopp. You pirates, leave my village quickly. I have eight million soldiers under my command, enough to defeat all enemies.”
Before Usopp could finish his words, the little kids around him had already run away.
“Hey! Don’t run!”
Usopp turned his head and looked at the running away imps, with countless cold sweats on his forehead.
“Okay, enough bragging!”
“There’s a restaurant in the village, right?!”
At this time, Eden, who had completely recovered after his feet touched the ground, looked at Usopp in front of him and asked.
“Yes, yes…”
When Usopp found out that his lie had been exposed, he immediately raised his hands above his head and nodded repeatedly.
“In short, fill your stomach first, then talk!”
Eden preached to Nami, Juvia, Luffy, Zoro, Buggy and others who were walking down from the ship.
“Let’s sort it out!”
After everyone looked at each other, they nodded in unison.
So, the small restaurant in the village.
“So, you are actually two pirate groups.”
“You are called Fairy Tail, and your purpose is to find lost friends! As for you, you are the Straw Hat Pirates, and your purpose is to find partners to go to sea together, right?!”
After a brief chat, Usopp finally figured out the identities of Eden, Luffy and the others, and he said so.
“That’s right.”
Eden and Luffy looked at each other and nodded.
“In that case, it is finally the turn of the great Captain Usopp to take action.”
“Don’t underestimate Captain Usopp’s intelligence network…”
Usopp said this, he looked at Eden and Luffy and asked: “Speaking of which, are you short of a captain?! I can volunteer to be the captain of your two pirate groups.”
“First of all, I’m not a pirate. I just happen to be wanted by the World Government and the Navy! Secondly, thank you for your kindness, but it’s not necessary.”
Eden said, waving his hand.
“Me too.”
Luffy stuffed the meat in front of him into his mouth and shook his head vigorously.
“Yeah?”
“That’s a pity indeed.”
Usopp looked disappointed when he heard this.
