One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Mechanic

The next day was the scheduled departure day.

Early in the morning, Luffy and others rushed to Usopp's house early, planning to pick him up and leave.

But what surprised a few people was that Usopp was not at home.

At first, several people thought he had gone to the village to say goodbye to the villagers, but after going to the village, he was still nowhere to be found.

Finally, it was from Keya's mouth that several people asked about Usopp's possible whereabouts.......

On the mountain behind Usopp's house, at the highest point of the cliff, Usopp was sitting there alone, staring blankly at the rising sun in the sky.

Beside him is a small tombstone.

This is her mother's grave.

The reason why I chose to be buried here is because it is the highest place nearby and you can directly see the sea outside the island.

If there is a ship heading to the island or even passing by, you can see it here for the first time.

And Usopp's mother, until the last moment of her life, was looking forward to seeing her husband again.

However, this wish finally came true.

After her death, Usopp followed her last wish and buried her on the highest cliff, so that if Usopp's father came back one day, she would be the first to see him.

And today is the day when Usopp goes to sea.

Just like seventeen years ago, his father resolutely chose to abandon his pregnant wife and choose to go to sea.

Today, he also has to leave the village where he has lived for seventeen years.

He came to say goodbye to his mother

"Mom, I'm leaving!"

"Yes, go to sea! Go and become a brave sea warrior!"

"You will definitely be proud of me!"

"Don't worry about me, because I have met a group of very, very good friends!"

"They are very powerful!"

"Besides, I am also very powerful!!!"

"Oh yes, I know the news about my father!"

"Luffy told me, I forgot to tell you, Luffy is my captain, he is a very powerful man!"

"He told me that his father had become a very powerful pirate!"

"But Luffy also told me that he once stayed in the nearby Windmill Town for more than half a year."

"There, it was only a week away from Xiluobu Village, but he...He didn't come back to see us until the end."

"Mom, I will find him and ask him why in person"

"If possible, I will bring him back to see you."

After saying this, Usopp was silent for a long time, just sitting there blankly, watching the sun rising in the sky.

"Mom, it's time for me to go!"

"Otherwise, my friends will be worried!"

"I may not come back for a long time after this departure! Maybe one or two years, maybe five or six years! I can’t tell for sure."

"From now on, I won’t be able to see you often!"

"After I leave, you will definitely be very lonely!"

Speaking of this, Usopp finally turned around, knelt in front of the tombstone, and opened a cloth bag next to him. Inside was a flower with soil still at its roots.

Usopp used his hands like this to touch the tombstone. I dug a small pit next to it, held it carefully with both hands, and planted the flowers in it.

"Mom, this is your favorite flower!"

"When I leave, let it accompany you instead of me!"

"Hope you're not too alone."

At this moment, Usopp suddenly felt that he was shrouded in a shadow. When he looked back, he realized that Luffy had been standing behind him at some point.

"captain..."

"Auntie, hello! I am Monkie.·D·Luffy is Usopp's captain!"

Luffy grinned and said:

"Usopp has agreed to be my partner and go to sea with me"

"He is really a very brave man!"

Luffy sat down cross-legged next to Usopp, took off his straw hat and placed it on the grass beside him, talking to himself as if he was chatting about family matters.

Usopp was puzzled at first, but later he was relieved, and then he smiled and introduced himself to his mother:

"Mom, this is my captain. He’s a very good man!"

"If your son follows him, you should be relieved!"

"That's right, aunt, don't worry! I will take good care of Usopp!"

Luffy put his arm around Usopp's neck, and with the most relaxed expression, he made the most solemn oath and promise.

For Luffy, the weight of the promise is very heavy.

As long as it is something that has been promised, it must be done, even if it...There were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

Not far down the hillside, Carl, Zoro and Nami were paying close attention to the movements here.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Carl patted Zoro on the shoulder and motioned him to follow.

"Let's go"

"Should I go too?"

"Of course, when meeting parents, everyone must be present!"Karl said matter-of-factly

"I just don't know if Luffy is talking nonsense."

Just like that, the three of them each carried a bunch of flowers collected from the surroundings and walked over. With the help of Usopp and Luffy, they planted all the flowers around the grave.

This way, they won't be lonely.

"Hello, Auntie, I’m Carl!"

"I am...Roronoa Zoro. Zoro was obviously not very good at dealing with this kind of situation, but he still added at the end,"Your son is very brave!""

"Auntie, I’m Nami!"......
