One Piece: Wudang White Night, Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates

Chapter 30

After the boat was damaged, the ship was completely destroyed.

Following Meili's introduction, Bai Ye also walked through every corner of the ship.

Finally, he came to the keel.

As the most critical part of a ship, Meili naturally used the best materials in the design and took a lot of protective measures.

But Bai Ye still prepared a double insurance. After all, once the keel is damaged to a certain extent, no matter how much money is spent, the best materials are used, and the best boatmen are found, the boat will inevitably have to be replaced.

With a flip of his wrist, several talismans that had been made long ago appeared in Bai Ye's hand.

These talismans also have the effect of reinforcement and protection.

Bai Ye clapped his hands, and the talisman was attached to the keel. Then the yellow paper began to burn out of thin air and soon dissipated into the air.

The keel also had the same pattern as the talisman. Faintly, a light golden light could be seen protecting the entire keel.

"It seems that Mr. Bai Ye values this ship very much."

Merry was surprised at Bai Ye's means, and then said with some relief.

"This is natural,"

Bai Ye looked at the ship in front of him with a smile in his eyes, and said softly:

"This is the ship that carries the future Pirate King, destined to leave his own name in the world."

I don't know what he remembered, Bai Ye's smile became stronger:

"It is also a very important member of our pirate group~"

When Merry heard Bai Ye's words, he seemed to have a slight illusion in a trance.

The ship under his feet seemed to have chuckled just a moment ago.

It even swayed with joy~

As if it had life~

Of course, Merry soon thought that he was hallucinating, and the swaying was probably due to the sudden increase in the sea breeze.

How could a ship have a sense of life?

Ship spirits and the like are just legends among legends.

——

The day of sailing finally arrived.

Luffy and the other four stood at the bow, quietly waiting for the arrival of the last person.

"Is that guy Usopp afraid to come?"

Nami said with some doubt.

"After all, he has lived in this village since he was a child, so he still has to say goodbye."

Bai Ye shook his head slightly and said softly.

——

Somewhere on the island, there is a secret base with a pirate flag hanging.

Usopp and the three onion heads stood facing each other.

"You all know, I'm going to sea as a pirate."

Usopp choked a little, but still smiled and said to the three people.

"Captain Usopp~"

The three of them were already in tears. They recalled the scene when they first met Usopp, and they couldn't help but feel sad.

"Hey, hey, hey!!!"

Usopp couldn't help himself when he saw the look on their faces.

But he still cried and shouted to them:

"I! I finally made up my mind to pursue my dream! Shouldn't you be happy for me? Why are you crying!!!"

"Tell me!!!"

"What is your ambition!!! Say it out loud!!!"

Finally, Usopp almost shouted at them with all his strength.

"I want to run a great pub!!!"

"I want to be a first-class carpenter!!!"

"I want to be a great novelist!!!"

The three wiped the tears from their faces and responded to their captain with a louder voice.

"Then!!!"

Usopp had an expectant look on his face:

"Work hard towards your ambitions!!!"

Then, he raised the pirate flag behind him, waved it fiercely, and shouted to the sky:

"I declare!!!"

"Usopp Pirates!!!"

"Disbanded!!!"

"Captain Usopp!!!"

——

"Usopp, you are really slow~"

In front of the Merry, Bai Ye said to Usopp who was carrying a big package.

"Hahahaha, I'm a little slow to pack things."

Usopp rubbed his nose with his fingers and said cheerfully.

"Speaking of which, I should be the captain!!!"

"What a joke, of course I am the captain!!!"

"Hahahaha."

Amidst laughter, Usopp boarded the ship.

Merry is ready to set sail!!!

But in fact, everyone on the ship saw Usopp's red and swollen eyes, but they all tacitly didn't say much.

Of course, Luffy might have simply not noticed.

And Usopp's words that he wanted to be the captain

I was just angry.

Bai Ye just patted Usopp on the shoulder and said:

"After you complete your own voyage, remember to come back~"

Usopp lowered his head, tried to suppress his tears, and nodded heavily:

"Yes!"

This is the price of becoming a pirate, destined to leave your hometown, friends and relatives.

Even, the person you love the most!

——

Under a big tree, Kaya, who has recovered her health, is looking at the pirate ship that has started to move, her eyes full of reluctance and expectation.

"Miss, if that's the case, why don't you leave Usopp?"

Merry stood aside and asked in confusion.

Kaya didn't look back, just looked at Usopp who was fighting with everyone on the boat, and said softly:

"What reason do I have to stop a man from running to the sea?"

"Usopp's dream is to become a brave sea warrior!"

"And,"

Kaya looked back, and Merry also saw Kaya's cheeks that were already covered with tears.

"I also want to hear the story of Usopp's voyage~"

Merry remained silent, just quietly accompanying the lady.

"Merry~"

"Miss?"

"I want to learn medical skills. Mr. Bai Ye gave me some medical knowledge before he left, and I want to learn them."
