Looking at the white light, Usopp was actually staring at the man who was fighting in the white light.

- This was an absurd adventure from a few years ago, and no one seems to be better qualified than him.

Gensokyo, at that time, it was a bloody moment, and the time of the various parallel worlds was out of sync with Gensokyo.

"When I first met Uncle Kiriyu, I thought he was eating monsters (monsters). 」

Usopp, the timid boy, wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become a pirate on his own, probably never forgetting that figure, stepping in a pool of blood and water, sitting in a pile of corpses.

This man is in this place full of demonic filth, with a very happy attitude—feasting.

Yes.

Due to the time difference between the worlds, it was not a few years since Usopp returned to the One Piece world.

It was a sight that Usopp could not forget, and it was also a memory that he couldn't help but fall into.

Of course, this one will not be mentioned for now.

Man, he has long been discovered.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Huh......

Usopp felt his feet tremble.

But I don't know when I got close to this man.

This man gave him this feeling for the first time, if you describe it in terms of his world.

"I haven't seen an Aquaman, but I know you're a lot like Aquaman...... I'm Captain Usopp, and I have 8,000 men!"

Usopp didn't know where the courage came from and stared at him.

The man's pupils had pupils as sharp as knives.

This man, dressed in a blood-stained plain blue kimono, is draped in an unknown font.

Later, I realized that it was the chief of the fog and rain group, and the strongest in the world was qualified.

"Eight thousand?"

In the hands of the man is a rice ball, which is a very simple rice ball with salt.

Slowly opened his mouth, took a bite of the rice ball, and chewed it heavily.

When he eats it, it looks like it's very fragrant and delicious.

"Boy, if you're leading eight thousand men to this extent...... Nothing. 」

That's contempt.

No, that's a matter of course for this man.

The shiny white rice ball in his hand has a subtle black object on it.

Is that seaweed? Probably not......

"I ......" Usopp was inexplicably concerned about this thing, but he was also hungry.

"This? This is a rice ball that my own person made...... Well, you kid was thrown over by Professor Okazaki?"

Confusion appeared on the man's face.

Then there is certainty.

"——Go back, you have no talent, loose muscles, too fragile skeleton, and your physical fitness is worse than our men here, and the fight with Lelouch is like the rice ball wrapped in bean sprouts in my hand......

"Isn't that seaweed? It's bean sprouts! How the hell is it processed to make the white ones darker than the rice balls!"

Usopp complained, decisively complained!

He has excellent eyesight, and the sense of disobedience he just saw is actually correct!

"It turns out that the subtle black object is not seaweed, it is indeed bean sprouts! I felt that something was wrong with it, why did I use bean sprouts to wrap rice balls? Isn't it normally upside down?"

This man.

I was eating rice balls for my beloved wife.

Presumably, this love is very deep.

"Actually, in a way, I'm desperate. 」

The man sighed with emotion and looked at the rice ball in his hand, which was a very deep rice ball of love.

Even if the appearance is not good.

"Gollum ......"

Usopp was still hungry and even howled from his stomach.

The man, raising his eyebrows, could read the surprise on his face for some reason.

"You're barely qualified—my name is Ryantaro, Rain, and it's okay to call me Uncle Rain. 」

And with it.

Man, Ryantaro Kiriyu handed the unopened rice balls to Usopp.

"Thank you. 」

Usopp slowly opened the rice balls.

He was genuinely hungry, but he still focused on the man.

Rainstorm Rentaro still chewed the rice balls absentmindedly.

"Purple-sama asked me to review the new sin bag, although you are almost useless, but ...... What I praise a little is probably the will, the eyesight, and most importantly, the will, the eyesight, and most importantly—"

"That undisguised hunger, being able to ask me for rice balls in this environment, makes me appreciate you very much. 」

"Ah, I was so hungry that I forgot, I'll start first...... Ahh 」

Usopp took a bite of the rice ball, and that bite was quite large.

After that, there is no after.

The scenery in front of me is plunged into a whirlpool.

Usopp foamed at the mouth and bent his long nose.

Touch-Usopp's action has a more comedic effect than getting drunk, and he lies down straight.

"Poof...... Wow wow wo 」

I vaguely saw the man's sight and heard the man's voice vaguely.

"Alas......

Ryantaro's tone was as if he had discovered a rare creature.

"I know that the black is bean sprouts, this kind of rice ball, this is the first time I have seen a rice ball that Melissa pinched without hesitation or doubt, you little guy is so stupid as to be so rare—"

The time I spent in Gensokyo.

Usopp, who has undergone inhumane training, has no extraordinary strength or wisdom beyond ordinary people.

But it shows his special qualities.

The ability to assemble and change existing conditions.

Willpower and courage honed together.

Exceptional superhuman eyesight and a superhuman assist that has honed a miraculous skill.

Of course.

Usopp always felt that he had managed to blend in with the sin bag.

Yes, it has to be described as "mixed in".

Because Usopp is the weakest.

"As a result, those guys (sin bag friends) didn't hesitate to eat this rice ball when they heard it......

Every guy even hears about it.

They couldn't help but pat Usopp on the shoulder.

Usopp is the weakest.

The weakest guy, but his courage was recognized by everyone and the monsters.

"Ah, it's definitely because of that deep-flavored, deeply loved rice ball. 」

「…… Uncle Wuyu can eat this kind of murderous rice ball with relish, how strong is it!"

──────────────────────────────────

Back to reality.

Chopper's short hands and feet are very busy.

The eyeballs seemed to pop out, and the tongue was still crooked and spit out.

Why?

Chopper shouted in panic.

"Usopp! you're foaming at the mouth!"

"I'm ashamed...... Actually, when I think about it, I'm afraid of the rice ball. 」

"Do you have this disease?"

"A veritable memory of 'killing', ah—I feel like I'm dying again, and I'm going to introduce it before I die. 」

Frequently pulling the slingshot, it feels as if the body is being torn.

"My dream!"

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief.

"In this war, the navy wants to maintain peace, the pirates want to be free, and the civilians want to live in peace. 」

"The clash of wills, the confrontation of beliefs, the contest of spirits, and the battle of spirits. 」

"In the war that is decided by these things, every one of them is a warrior who deserves to be treated with care. 」

"This is, above this sea, great warrior!"

Usopp looked at everyone who had returned to the Thousand Suns for the time being.

Even if the strength is improved, it is still weak in this war, and there is a visible gap.

Whether it's Zoro with injuries, or Sanji and Brooke with injuries.

Nami, Robin, and Chopper with support.

One of the most important things is to move the Thousand Suns cleverly to avoid being attacked by Frankie.

"My dream is to become a great warrior at sea. 」

"But before dreaming, there are more important things...... That's to rescue Ace first!"

"I had a bold idea. 」

──────────────────────────────────

It's hard to get through the New Year, that's life, and I haven't had a beer in a while.

It's time, presumptuous!
