"Melly! Melly! ”

Keya instantly recognized the sheep's head lying in a pool of blood, and immediately screamed in panic.

I don't care if I will stain my pajamas with blood.

Kya, who had always been gentle and kind, immediately came to Merry's side and gently helped him up.

"Melly !!"

"What's going on? What's going on? ”

"Wake up!! You don't want to die!! ”

Keya cried sadly, while using the medical knowledge she had learned to provide emergency treatment to Merry in an orderly manner.

"Ahem... Woo...! ”

Less than a minute later, Meili, who had lost consciousness, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of thick blood under the treatment of Keya, turned over suddenly, put one hand on the ground, and spit out a large amount of blood to the ground again.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

As if the whole body had lost its strength, after relieving for a while, Melly turned over again and lay down.

"Melly!"

Keya looked at Merry worriedly and exclaimed softly.

Melly didn't answer immediately, but lay on her back on the floor, gasping for air.

After coming over for a while, it seemed that the wound had been numb and could not feel the pain, Melly gritted his teeth hard, used all his strength, and said softly:

"Keya...... Miss ......"

"Whew~ Are you okay...... Call...... It's really, great! ”

"What?"

Keya looked at the terrible wound on Merry's body distressedly and said:

"Of course I'm fine......"

"What are you talking about!?"

"Whew~! Call~! ……”

Melly continued to breathe slowly, as if she had gathered strength, and suddenly shouted loudly:

"Krabatel !!"

For the first time, Keya saw that Merry, who had always been docile, would show such a terrifying and hideous expression, and whispered softly with doubt:

"What...... What the......? ”

"Ahem!"

Melly coughed again, and then her expression became sad, aggrieved, and regretful......

The complicated mood caused silent tears, which slowly flowed down, his lips kept trembling, and he slowly spit out the words and said:

"I ...... I was ...... by him Wounded !! ”

"Impossible!!"

Keya suddenly covered her cherry-like mouth, and the corners of her eyes were slowly moistened by lingering tears.

In the memory, the gentleness of the butler of Krabatel to himself on weekdays made Keya unable to believe what Merry said no matter what.

"Impossible, impossible......"

"You're kidding!"

As if her worldview had been broken, her tears flowed quietly, not daring to accept this fact.

Suddenly he thought of something, and said to Merry with wide eyes:

"So yesterday...... Usopp said......"

Melly closed her eyes, remembered her attitude towards Usopp yesterday, and said with remorse:

"In retrospect...... That's the case!! ”

"He learned the secret and tried desperately to save us, but we ......!!"

“………………”

The room was quiet for a moment, as if it was leaving time for Keya to think.

"I ...... What have they done to him! ”

Keya knelt on the ground blankly and said confusedly.

……

……

"Hey! Carrot heads!! Don't sleep!! ”

A clearing in the grove was the site of the Usopp Pirates' meeting.

One of the Usopp Pirates, one of the apple-headed imps yells at another child who is sleeping under a tree.

The awakened carrot-headed imp rubbed his eyes lazily and said in a complaining tone:

"What are you doing!? At this time, people haven't gotten up yet! ”

When the other onion-headed imp saw him like this, he immediately cried out with some anxiety:

"Today is not the time to sleep!"

"In a moment, something big is likely to happen!!"

"I think there may really be pirates attacking today......"

The onion-headed imp kept gesturing with his hands and feet, as if to deepen the credibility of his words.

"Although Captain Usopp said he was lying...... But I think this sentence is a lie he said!! ”

He has been with Usopp for a long time, and when he returns home, he always feels that Usopp is particularly wrong during the day.

Not at all like their usual Captain Usopp!

Although he did not hesitate to listen to Usopp, who never lied to them, he chose to listen to the words of Usopp who never lied to them.

But in the end, he still came to the conclusion from the change in Usopp's expression before and after - "Captain Usopp is lying"!

Early this morning, I called the other two partners here, ready to share their thoughts with them.

However......

"That's what I thought too......"

"Actually, I also think yesterday's captain is particularly strange......"

In the Usopp Pirates, the other two imps immediately said with a look of approval.

The three of them even noticed that Usopp was abnormal......

It seems that there is really something big going to happen!

And just as they were about to discuss what to do next, the carrot head facing the road suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, and said:

"Look at ......"

The two of them looked in the direction he was pointing, and immediately said in amazement:

"That's ...... Miss Kerya!! ”

"Oops! Miss Keya actually came out by herself!! ”

"Something big must have happened!! Sure!!! ”

Miss Keya, that is a notoriously delicate and frail person in Xipro Village, and she rarely even has the opportunity to go out.

What's more, she came out by herself!

The three little ghosts, you will immediately judge the current situation clearly.

The expression on his face instantly became extremely solemn.

……

……

Yikes!

"Ah~!"

Usopp couldn't dodge it, and was scratched on his arm again by George from the Cat-Man Brothers, and five bloody flesh marks appeared on his arm.

"Skunk Bomb!"

In a hurry, he quickly took out a Usopp rotten egg from his backpack and smashed it into the face of his cat-man brother.

The unbearable stench was released in an instant, briefly forcing the cat-man brothers back, giving Usopp a little respite.

From the sea of fire, the six pirates who escaped have been eliminated by Usopp.

However, as a cat-man brother who is wanted by the Navy and has a bounty on his body, he is obviously not of the same level as other pirates.

Although Usopp's speed and physical strength are not bad, he is extremely inexperienced in combat, and at this time, he is already covered in bruises.

There were marks of scratches from cat's claws, and his clothes had become tattered.

The bloody appearance makes people feel unusually scary.

The blood that spilled from the wound continued to drip to the ground, staining the entire battlefield red.

Usopp, who has a tenacious will, did not lose the courage to fight because of the pain on his body.

The slightly sloppy eyes were concentrating again under strong conviction, staring at the cat-man brothers who were ready to attack again.

After what he had just observed, George, the thinner cat man, was obviously much weaker than the fat cat man Buzhi.

Therefore, he no longer has the ability to fight a protracted war, and plans to use George as a breakthrough in this war.

Usopp stealthily reached into his backpack and held in the palm of his hand what he needed for a moment.

Sou! Sou!

The stench dissipated, and the cat-man brothers instantly struck again.

Faced with the sight of being wiped out by one person, they no longer knew if they would be able to survive from the hands of Captain Chloe for a while.

With anger and fear in their hearts, they can only sprinkle this anger on the person who caused all this.

"Stinky little ghost! Die for me!! ”

In the face of the attacking cat's claw, Usopp surprisingly did not dodge or dodge, but directly pulled up the slingshot and shouted at George:

"Lead Bullet !!"

"Cut!"

After seeing Usopp's buckshot several times, George directly chose to ignore Usopp's attack and continued to attack him.

The kind of lead bullet that was weak, not as powerful as a musket, was not enough to hurt him.

He could cut him off very easily, and even if he hit him, it wouldn't hurt him much.

So he didn't need to dodge at all.

"Hey......

Seeing this, Usopp suddenly grinned, and the slingshot in his hand instantly shot out a black projectile, slashing a black shadow through the air, and attacking George at an extremely fast speed.

The conceited George directly stretched out his hand, and the sharp cat's claws slashed at the projectile, directly splitting the projectile in half.

However, what made George feel slightly strange was that this projectile felt unexpectedly soft to the touch, which was completely different from the previous feeling.

Boom!

The projectile that was cut by the cat's claw burst instantly, and the black powder inside immediately burst out and spread out in all directions.

In the air, a small black mist is created.

The breeze blew, and the powder was all pressed against George's face.

"Ahh

Accidentally, George, who had absorbed a large amount of dust, instantly sneezed uncontrollably.

"Ahh

Usopp smiled slightly, but the movements of his hands did not pause in the slightest.

Then, in the package, after holding something again, he whispered to the cat man brother:

"Have you forgotten......"

"I'm a famous liar!"

"Hahahaha......"

"Of Lies—Pepper Face!"

As soon as the words fell, Usopp instantly put the thing in his hand on the slingshot, and pulled the slingshot back hard.

"Die! Stinky boy! ”

At this time, the cat man brothers' Buzhi had already come to Usopp's side, and the sharp cat's claws quickly turned into a cold light in the air, and fell violently on Usopp's waist.

Usopp's face changed instantly, and the whole person flew out uncontrollably to the side under the huge force of Buzhi.

However, the slingshot that had been prepared did not pause at all, and directly shot out the thing in his hand.

Shouted again:

"Lead Bullet !!"

A black shadow flashed, and Buzhi, who was closer, immediately noticed the appearance of this black shadow, and shouted anxiously:

"Be careful! George! ”

However, George, who was a little dizzy from the pepper noodles, did not react immediately.

And by the time this dark shadow reached his sight, it was already too late!

"Hmph~"

Usopp, who flew out, endured the pain in the air, and snorted softly with a smile:

"Of the Lies—Deadly Steel Spikes!"

Fell directly on the stone wall on the side.

Poof! ……

A streak of blood suddenly erupted from George's head, and George, with a black dot on the top of his head, staggered two steps, his face slightly open, as if he wanted to sneeze again.

With a thud, he fell to the ground.
