Chapter 9: Set Sail!

Lying on the hospital bed, Usopp began to dance and tell the story of 'Captain Usopp led the boys to fight against the Black Cat Pirates and beat Captain Chloe to the bust'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Well. From this synopsis alone, you can see how distorted the story Usopp is telling......

This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, it is Usopp's nature to brag, and it is impossible for you to ask him to be honest and truthful.

This time, though, Usopp's cattle couldn't blow as smoothly as they used to.

Because he has committed the great taboo of braggart - to brag in front of the person concerned.

The corners of Nami, Zoro, and Luffy twitched as they listened to Usopp constantly exaggerating his exploits and belittling their merits.

Then they began to interject constantly, piercing Usopp's hide.

And Usopp has been defeated again and again, and when one is poked, he continues to blow the next.

The four of you came and went, arguing together, which made He Sheng, who wanted to know the truth, hear his head.

"Meow!" He yelled, interrupting their nonsense, then jumped to Usopp's chest, reached out to hold his paw to his mouth, and turned to look at Nami and shouted.

Nami was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she said, "Pudding, you want to shut up Usopp and then let me speak?" ā€

He Sheng nodded immediately.

"Haha! Usopp, look, even the pudding can tell you're bragging! Nami laughed.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Hum. Stupid cat. Usopp said indignantly.

Ho Sheng glanced at him helplessly, then jumped in front of Nami and meowed.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Nami took Ho Sheng in her arms and began to recount the story of what happened yesterday.

Nami recounted everything that happened at that time in concise words, and after listening to it, Ho Sheng thought about it, completed the details, and recreated the scene of that day in his mind.

…………

Early yesterday morning

On the slope, Captain Chloe, wearing a 'cat's claw', suddenly appeared, he looked at the scene on the slope, and was furious: "What the hell is going on! ā€

Captain Chloe's roar attracted the two sides that were fighting, the kitten brothers of the Black Cat Pirates and Zoro subconsciously separated.

The deputy captain hypnotist looked at Captain Chloe in fear and said, "Captain Chloe...... What are you doing here. ā€

"The plan hasn't started for a long time, I was impatient, so I came out to take a look, but I really didn......'t expect it," Captain Chloe raised his eyes with his palm and said, "You guys are actually blocked by a few people, a bunch of rubbish!" ā€

"Captain Chloe, I can't take your words anymore." The fat cat in the kitten brothers was dissatisfied: "You say we are incompetent? ā€

"Yes, are you qualified to say that now?" Skinny Cat continued: "I admit that you used to be strong, but you have been idle for three years......"

The fat cat opened its teeth and claws and sneered: "Is it comparable to us on active duty?" ā€

"Don't get carried away!" The skinny cat yelled.

The next moment, the two of them rushed up at the same time, waving their claws: "Look at me killing you!" ā€

"Huh." Captain Chloe sneered, and the figure vanished into thin air, then appeared behind the kitten brother who had pounced in the air.

Brother Kitten was startled and turned his head suddenly. But just as they turned their heads, Captain Chloe appeared behind them again, his hands around their shoulders, and the sharp blade of the 'cat's claw' was pressed against the necks of the two kitten brothers.

The two kitten brothers, sweating like rain!

"You two are right, I'm not as flexible as I used to be. Not even a cat can be killed......" Captain Chloe looked gloomy, "but it's no problem to kill you!" ā€

The next moment, the blade slashed through the necks of the two!

Brother Kitten is dead!

"This, this!" The deputy captain of the hypnotist looked at this scene in horror, "Captain Chloe, are you ......?"

"Zangao, do you want to die too?" Captain Chloe looked at him, "I'm in a bad mood right now, don't anger me at the end." ā€

The hypnotist turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" ā€

And at this moment, a shout rang out: "Krahatt! ā€

Captain Chloe turned his head to see a panting Kaya and the three little henchmen.

"Krahattle! I already know the truth! Keya shouted with all her might: "I can give you all my property!" Get out of here and don't hurt the village! ā€

Captain Chloe looked at her coldly and said, "No. ā€

"Huh?"

Then he turned around and said, "Miss, I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you right now." Zanco! Come over, grab her and use hypnosis to make her write a suicide note, and then kill her. ā€

"Yes!" The hypnotist replied loudly and was about to go up.

Sauron waved his sword and said, "Hey, don't forget me. ā€

But in the next moment, Captain Chloe appeared behind Zoro: "Don't get in my way! ā€

The voice fell, and the 'cat's claw' waved violently!

"What!" Sauron was startled and immediately turned around to block with his sword, but he was still slow for a moment, and his waist was slashed by the 'cat's claw' with a deep scar.

The hypnotist took the opportunity to chase after Keya.

"Keya, you run!" Usopp shouted and pulled his slingshot.

There was a thud, and the hypnotist fell to his knees.

And the three little followers took the opportunity to pull Keya and escaped.

"Usopp......" muttered Captain Chloe, who flashed behind Usopp the next moment, "Anyway, we still have a punch between us." ā€

After saying that, Captain Chloe made a brazen move, and swept the cat's claw in his right hand, leaving a deep wound on Usopp's back, and then he raised his left hand and stabbed and shouted, "Die!" ā€

"Rubber rubber ...... Gun! ā€

Suddenly, with Luffy's shout, a fist spanned a distance of tens of meters and hit Captain Chloe hard in the face, knocking him away.

"If you don't like to be beaten so much, I'll give you a hundred more beatings!" Luffy clenched his fists and smiled.

At this time, Usopp, who was seriously injured, raised his head with a pale face, looked in the direction of Koya and them, and found that the hypnotist actually stood up swaying, and chased after Koya and them, and shouted, "Luffy! Fly that hypnotist! ā€

"Oh!" Luffy answered, and then was about to swing his fist, but at this time, Captain Chloe, who was knocked away, suddenly appeared in front of Luffy again.

Luffy was startled, retracted his fist cleanly, and jumped backwards, just enough to dodge Captain Crow's attack.

Seeing that Luffy was entangled, Usopp gritted his teeth and stood up, and also chased after the hypnotist: "Bastard...... I won't let you hurt Keya. ā€

But after taking two steps, he was about to fall due to exhaustion, but fortunately Zoro helped him at this time and said, "Let's go chase after him." ā€

"Thank you!" Usopp asked.

"You two are so annoying!" Captain Chloe pursed his lips and was about to chase after them.

But at this time, Luffy rushed up and punched Captain Chloe.

"Usopp! Zoro! Don't worry, go after it! Luffy said, "I'll send this guy flying!" ā€

"Oh! Please, Luffy! ā€

………………

At this point, He Sheng finally understood why Zoro and Usopp were so badly injured.

Although the process and result of this whole ramp battle are roughly the same as in the original book, there are big differences in details.

One of the biggest discrepancies is the death of the kitten brothers, who were supposed to be defeated by Luffy, but this time they were killed by Captain Chloe.

This led to Captain Chloe's early departure, inflicting far more serious injuries on Zoro and Usopp than described in the original books.

Thinking of this, He Sheng's expression darkened. Captain Chloe killed Brother Kitten because he was in a bad mood, and the reason for the bad mood...... It was because he failed to kill He Sheng, whom he hated.

In other words, the culprit of the plot change is He Sheng himself.

He became the butterfly that stirred up the storm!

Of course, it is still a bit exaggerated to say that the butterfly is still a bit exaggerated, maybe it is the corrective effect in the dark, or it may be that He Shengmao is soft-spoken, and his actions have only changed a few details, and he almost killed a few tricks.

The plot related to Luffy's group of protagonists has not changed much.

But even so, it was enough to make He Sheng vigilant.

He decided that he must be careful in the future, try not to change the plot, and not to have this situation that almost killed others again.

After all...... His goal is simply to see the end of 'One Piece'.

And just as He Sheng was lying in Nami's arms and pondering, Luffy looked at him and suddenly spoke: "That's right, cat." I heard that you saved the eldest lady? ā€

He Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Hee-hee-hee." Luffy laughed, "I can understand people, I can open doors, and I can fight to protect others...... That's nice. ā€

As he spoke, Luffy stretched out his hand to He Sheng and said, "Would you like to be my partner?" ā€

"......" He Sheng.

Ha? What the hell is this doing? He Sheng was stunned.

"Hey!" Usopp's eyes widened and he shouted, "Luffy, what are you messing around!" How would anyone invite a cat to be a companion? ā€

"No one has to be a companion!" Luffy said of course: "Cat, I like you very much, be my companion!" ā€

"......" He Sheng wanted to laugh, but it was difficult for the cat's mouth to make that kind of action.

This...... It's really Luffy's style. He said to himself.

But it just happened to save me a lot of work.

He Sheng jumped onto Luffy's bed, put his paw into Luffy's outstretched right hand, and nodded solemnly.

"Oh! You agree with it! Luffy laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha! Very good! From today onwards, you will be our important partner! ā€

"Are you kidding?" Usopp lifted his forehead and sighed, then looked at the other two, "Can you accept this kind of thing?" ā€

"What does it matter?" Nami said with a nonchalant face, "Pudding is so cute." ā€

"What does this have to do with cuteness...... Usopp complained.

"I don't mind. Being able to fight for his master, this backbone and bravery are enough for me to identify with him. Zoro said, reaching out to He Sheng, wanting to touch him, "So I'm still very happy......"

Syllable.

He Sheng mercilessly slapped Zoro's hand away with one claw.

"......" Sauron.

"No, I still hate it!" Sauron said hatefully.

"Hee-hee-hee!" Luffy said again at this time: "Wait a few days, the injury is healed, let's go to sea and adventure!" ā€

"Meow!" He Sheng raised his claws and responded.

………………

A few days later, everyone recovered from their injuries and walked out of the ward.

Outside, they were greeted by Melly, the sheep-headed butler, who smiled and said, "Are you going to leave?" ā€

"yes." Luffy said, "The injury is also healed, and I can't continue to waste time." ā€

"Hmm. But before you do, please accept our gift to you. Melly said.

"Gifts?" Everyone was stunned.

"Just follow me." Melly said as she turned to leave.

A moment later, they came to the beach, and a fast sailing ship appeared in front of them.

"Wow! It's a big ship! Luffy shouted in surprise.

"Hmmm! This 'Merry' is our gift to you. Melly introduced: "The things that go to sea are already on the boat, and you can use them immediately." ā€

"Ahh Thank you so much! "Luffy.

"Are you going to go to sea at once?" Melly asked.

"No, wait." Luffy said, "Pudding and Usopp haven't come yet." ā€

A moment later, Usopp made his way to the beach with a two-person backpack.

"You're really slow." Luffy complained.

Nami walked up to Usopp, looked at the big bag and said, "How many things did you bring?" ā€

"Huh! Since you are going to sea, you must naturally prepare safely! Usopp said triumphantly.

"It doesn't matter." Zoro pointed to the boat and said, "Put the things on the boat." ā€

"Huh?" Usopp was stunned, "Well, that's your ship." My boat is over there......"

As he spoke, Usopp gestured to a small boat next to him.

"What are you talking about?" Luffy looked at Usopp with a strange expression, "We're companions." ā€

"Huh...... This ......" Usopp was stunned for a moment, understood what they meant, and shouted excitedly: "The ship, the captain is me!" ā€

"What a stupid thing! I'm the captain! Luffy said angrily.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Usopp was happily babbling as he loaded his things onto the boat and said, "Then we should go, shall we?" ā€

"Nope." Luffy leaned on the railing and said, "I'll have to wait for the pudding to come." ā€

"Pudding? Are you serious? Usopp was surprised: "Don't make trouble, okay!" Even if he could understand human speech, Pudding was just a cat and wouldn't take these things seriously. ā€

"It has promised to be my companion! I'm going to wait for it! ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Okay, okay. ā€

…………

And at the same time, in the mansion of Keya.

After some careful consideration, He Sheng decided on his luggage - a basket for sleeping.

No way, who let him recognize the bed.

He walked down the hallway with his basket hanging from it, hesitated for a moment, and then walked into Keya's room.

Keya is still lying on the bed, but her face is getting better and better, and it is estimated that she will be able to get out of bed and move in a few days.

When Keya saw He Sheng coming in, her tone was uncertain: "Pudding, you...... Do you want to sleep in my room? ā€

He Sheng shook his head, bit the basket, jumped on the bed, then jumped to the window, put down the basket, and turned to look at Keya.

"Pudding...... What's wrong with you? Keya asked.

He Sheng just looked at Keya, he believed that this clever girl could guess his thoughts.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Keya's expression darkened, and she asked, "Pudding, are you leaving?" ā€

He Sheng nodded.

"Going to sea with Luffy and Usoppe?"

He Sheng nodded.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Sure enough. Like Usopp, you yearn for the sea. Keya lowered her head and said in a very low voice, "If I get in the way of you, you will definitely hate me, right?" ā€

He Sheng whispered comfortingly.

"Ah...... It looks like I'm going to be lonely in the future. Keya raised her head and smiled, "Then before leaving, can you let me hug me one last time?" ā€

He Sheng jumped out of the window and got into Keya's arms.

Keya hugged He Sheng tightly and said, "I will miss you." ā€

Me too. He Shengxin said.

"Alright." Keya let go of He Sheng and said, "Go ahead." Let's go find Luffy and them. ā€

He Sheng nodded, he jumped to the window, waved his paw at Keya, and then picked up the basket and jumped out.

He Sheng ran down the road, and after a while, he ran to the slope.

Luffy on the boat saw He Sheng's figure and waved happily, "Hey! Pudding! Come here! ā€

He Sheng sped up and ran onto the boat like the wind.

"Excellent! The people have arrived. Luffy raised his arms and shouted, "Out to sea!" ā€

"Oh!" The people answered.

"Meow!" He Shengying said.

The Merry set sail for the vast expanse of the sea.

The adventure has officially begun.
