(PS: Well, what about that...... This book was first published at the starting point, so there are many questions from QQ Bookstore that I can't answer...... Of course, I replied there with my Q number, and no one knew who I was......

In addition, I set up a collection post in the book review area at the starting point, and of course, after many months, it is still empty and pitiful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so any reader friend can leave a message in it if you have any good roles. ）

The following text:

The sun sets and the moon rises. The flickering stars dotted the clear night sky.

On the coast south of the western village of Luo, in front of the lush woods, there are about seven or eight meters high cliffs from the beach below.

"So......" Ash sat on a large round boulder, nibbling on dry jerky in his mouth, and from time to time his bare hands condensed some granular crushed ice and threw it into his mouth. A pair of beautiful starry eyes reflecting the scene of ice and snow looked at Usopp, who was a little sullen.

"That butler with the pseudonym Krahatel's real name is Chloe, and his former subordinates, the Black Cat Pirates, will attack from here when the sun rises, right?"

"Hmm!" Usopp, who was sitting on another rock, which looked like a goose egg, took a breath of cold air, and his bloodied arm ached under layers of gauze. It was Usopp who ran back to the villa after learning of Chloe's plan and tried to forcibly take away the unknown Kaya, and was then shot and wounded by the security guards of Klove's house.

Luckily, Usopp's injuries were nothing more than abrasions.

Usopp looked at Ash, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, who were sitting in a small circle around them, and hesitated for a short time before asking the question in their hearts. Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why these pirates who met in the water would help him.

"You... Are you really going to work with me to deal with the pirates of the Black Cat Pirates? To know that they... They're the notorious murderous Black Cat Pirates in the nearby seas! You know the Black Cat Pirates, right? ”

Usopp was afraid that Ash and they didn't know how powerful the Black Cat Pirates were, so he made an extremely exaggerated gesture with both hands. "The Black Cat Pirates, this pirate group once had a terrifying record of destroying many warships in the Navy. Many small towns and villages have been plundered many times in the waters of this area, and the average navy is no match for them at all. So... So..."

"You don't have to... There is absolutely no need to stay here. After all, you're not from the village, so there's no need to do it for us..."

"They must have a lot of people in a pirate group, and you can't do it alone!" Luffy wiped his greasy hands on his clothes and spoke towards Usopp.

"I think you misunderstood something...... "Ash, who was full, stretched lazily, and the delicate perfect curve accompanied by the sudden expansion and contraction of the underwear was also looming, but it was a pity that the opposite sex present did not show too much concern about this.

"Frankly, I don't think it matters what will become of the village of Sirob. After all, I'm not a bad person, and I don't have that much idleness. Ash, who was sitting on the square boulder, crossed his slender legs and changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

"I'm just trying to help a long-nosed man who prides himself on the blood of pirates."

"Why?" Usopp's eyes were filled with puzzlement, knowing that when the two first met, the blue-haired beautiful girl's ice spear scared him a lot.

"Well, if you want to say why......" Ash blinked, Sakura's lips slightly hooked into a smile, and the beautiful smile that bloomed in an instant made Usopp who was looking at her stunned.

"That's probably because I'm also a pirate child. Of course, I don't feel proud of it, but I don't complain about it. ”

"In this way, your father must be a very powerful and famous sea thief, right?" Usopp asked with interest. In his opinion, Ash, who can use the ice element, should be very powerful, and if he thinks about it this way, Ash's father will definitely not be too bad.

"My father's fame?" Hearing this, the fair-skinned pretty face hung a faint smile that seemed helpless and decadent. Ash's eyes glanced at the endless ocean in the distance, her father was indeed very powerful. But this is not a good thing for her, once her true identity is revealed, it will bring her only endless hunting and persecution.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. There are some things that the more you know, the worse it gets! Shouldn't the main question tonight be to discuss how to defend against the attack of the Black Cat Pirates? ”

(Black Cat Pirates' attack?) Well, yes, defend against the attack of that Black Cat Pirates. Otherwise...... Otherwise, Koya would have died! ）

Thinking of the important Usopp, he began to get nervous as timid. Even the cool sea breeze that blew by the sea at night couldn't stop the cold sweat that broke out in his trembling body.

"Hey, Usopp, are you alright? It's shaking a lot. Zoro watched as Usopp kept swaying and shaking his body, and this long-nosed determination was undoubtedly worthy of his own recognition. But, after all, he was just a teenager who had never stepped out of his village.

Zoro gave a rare reassuring voice: "Don't be too scared Usopp, aren't we here." ”

"Am I scared? How could I be afraid? Aha, I'm Captain Usopp, a brave warrior of the sea! I... I'm never afraid. Usopp laughed exaggeratedly, trying to hide the embarrassment that came from his body's instincts.

But there are times when the human body instinctively rejects instructions from the brain.

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! Usopp was very annoyed and hammered his thigh hard. The wound on the arm, which had been closed, cracked open again due to excessive force, and the white gauze oozed a trace of bright red blood.

(How can I be afraid?) How can I be afraid? Why am I afraid? Can such a cowardly person really protect the village that gave birth to me and raised me after death? ）

Usopp looked at Ash and the others, who were silently and silently looking at their "ugly", and always felt that these people were looking at him with pitiful eyes. A feeling of annoyance and anger that I had never felt before, spread to my heart.

"What do you see, the opponent is the Black Cat Pirates, who were already notorious three years ago! That guy named Chloe has the terrifying strength to single-handedly take on all the navies on a warship and kill them, I'm afraid! I'm scared and what's so strange! Get out of here! Get lost! I don't need your sympathy. ”

"Hey! You've figured it out, we're not sympathizing with you. I only helped you because I thought you were amazing. Zoro said to Usopp with some displeasure.

Luffy gave a rare serious look, "Who would risk their lives for sympathy for others?" ”

"Sympathy? What is that? I'm just for the pirates' treasure. Nami pouted.

"Usopp!" Ash suppressed her voice and said word by word with a frosty face, "I'm just staying here according to my mood, sympathy?" I've never sympathized with anyone! ”

"Are you serious?" Usopp looked at everyone in disbelief, and an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.

(How long has it been?) How long has it been since you've experienced this feeling? This feeling of warmth...... ）

Usopp, whose eyes suddenly moistened, took a deep snort and said, "Okay... You guys... You guys have succeeded in touching me. Thank you!!! Thank you so much!! ”

Usopp bowed seriously to Luffy and Ash. "Then before the next combat meeting begins, let's talk about what we're good at."

Zoro: "Cut! ”

Luffy: "Stretch! ”

Nami: "Steal! ”

Ash: "I'm going to be scary! ”

Usopp looked at the four people around him who were moving differently, and suddenly felt speechless. He really wanted to come up with a sentence: Give me back my touch! You bastards! But what came out of Usopp's mouth was:

"I'll - hide!"

……

"Hide from your sister!! Whose village do you think you're protecting, bastard! ”X4
