Chapter 4

Authors note: I changed Luffy's age to 6 and Sabo's age to 7.

A couple of days had passed while sailing. When he got Zoro and Kuina, Ryu forgot to ask for the Grand Lottery that occurs after every five crew mates. When he asked the system for the lottery it told him that the system will not give reminders. They argued for like an hour and when the lottery was drawn, he got the Demon king bloodline from the anime Seven Deadly Sins. He definitely felt that he would be a yonko level powerhouse after the skills were practiced to 100 percent.

After some time, land was finally spotted

…

Usopp lived a very regular life every day.

In the morning, he would wake up and take care of his mother.After making sure that she was feeling well, he would go to Kaya

Then brag about it with a couple of children next door.

Finally, he would practice his sniping ability a little bit. Well, this is his only strength other than bragging.

This kind of day has been going on for a long time, and even Usopp himself can't remember how many days, but Usopp was not satisfied. He grew up hearing stories about his father as a pirate. While the other villagers scorned them, his mother would shield him. Usopp longed for the life of a pirate. Just then, he saw a boat with some small figures standing on the deck.

"Is it the ship in distress?"

Usopp took a closer look and found a grinning boy with a straw hat standing at the bow of the boat, excitedly telling his companions about the excitement of seeing the island.

Then two other boys started beating him up. A yellow haired boy was bringing the boat towards the village, and a boy and a girl were practicing swinging their swords.

"Well, it really is a ship in distress, right?

Usopp tilted his head.

Such a picture made Usopp not think that this group of people were pirates.

After all, this breath is too calm and lively.

But he didn't know why, but it gave Usopp a feeling that he wanted to move closer to them.

The boy with a straw hat couldn't handle the beating anymore and looked towards the land. Usopp was not sure if he was hallucinating, but the boy's arms became longer and longer until it grabbed a tree behind him, and the boy came flying towards him. Usopp didn't have time to react, but he was hit by the boy and fell down unconscious.

"Hahaha, finally ashore!!"

Luffy raised his arms in excitement, and his wide-open mouth smiled extremely happily.

"Where is the person who can provide us with the boat?!"

He looked around, and soon found a figure beneath him.

"Uh..."

At this moment, Usopp was covered in rubble and dust, his eyes were white and only his mouth was open and he was breathing, indicating that he was still alive.

As for the iconic nose, it has already become crooked.

It seems that in his life, the most serious and most frequent injury is his nose.

"What are you doing here?"

Luffy blinked and looked at Usopp on the ground, "Sleeping?"

Usopp who can't speak: "..."

"Idiot, that's obviously the one who was knocked down by you!!"

At this time, the boat was also approaching, and Ryu, who got off the boat, saw the scene in front of him, and said speechlessly.

After hearing what Ryu said, Luffy realized it later: "Ah? Did I hit someone? I'm so sorry!!

His apology was very sincere, but in Ryu's eyes, he looked like he was doing it on purpose.

Fortunately, the physique of people in the world of One Piece is not generally good.Especially Go. D. Usopp, who will be at the forefront of the Straw Hat Pirates in the future.

After a simple rest and rubbing the abrasion medicine, it quickly returned to normal.

"Who the hell are you?!"

As soon as Usopp woke up, he saw Luffy's big, angry face and took a big step back in fright.

"I apologize on behalf of this idiot," said Ryu." We are pirates and we are looking for a ship."

"Are you pirates? But you are literally the same age as me. Also, what happened to this guy."

Usopp didn't forget Luffy's outstretched arm before.

While speaking, he looked at their crew, especially Ace, and Zoro, since they looked scarier than the rest.

"Don't mind Luffy, he has the ability of a devil fruit."

"Devil Fruit?" Usopp was amazed. In a rural village like Syrup village, devil fruits were just legends, but here he was, witnessing something extraordinary. Despite this, his bragging nature remained the same.

"Want to find a boat? I am the best at Captain Usopp in this matter!! You just say how you want to find it, there is no ship that Captain Usopp can't find!! I think back then, I was Usopp Captain and 8,000 subordinates were galloping on the dangerous sea, facing the threat of Shidao goldfish. I will not care about my life, blah blah blah..."

Once you start bragging, some can't stop.

Ryu knew Usopp's nature, but Sabo and Ace looked at each other subconsciously.

How do you feel that this long nose with no muscle on the body is so unreliable?

Kuina decided to end this story. She stepped up to Usopp and said"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, so you can definitely help us get in touch with the big families here and get a pirate ship?!"

Usopp's boasting came to an abrupt end.

"Who are you talking to? Where do you get it?!"

He asked again with some uncertainty.

"It's a big family living here. I heard that both parents are doctors and they are heading out on a voyage. We want to get a boat from them before they leave." Kuina stepped forward and said the information she got from Ryu.

As she said that, she also felt that Ryu was really mysterious and knew everything so clearly! !

"That's right, that's it!!"

Ace nodded , but he didn't see Usopp's increasingly stiff smile.

Big family? Only one child and housekeeper?

Isn't that Kaya? !

These guys actually wanted to meet Kaya's family? !

Although the group of self-proclaimed pirates didn't look bad, Usopp didn't really want them to contact Kaya.

"that..."

His eyes were rolling, as if he was brewing some new ideas and rhetoric.

"By the way, it's rare for us to meet for the first time. We chatted so speculatively and talked so much that our mouth was a little dry~"

Ryu glanced at Usopp, then suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Why don't we rest your house for a while.?"

Usopp was hesitant to invite them until Luffy's protagonist halo came into effect. "Hey, aren't you Yassop's son?" asked Luffy

"Wait, you know my father."

"Of course," said Luffy," I met Shanks and we made an agreement to become the King of Pirates."

With one sentence, Usopp's attitude completely changed and he led them into his house.

Upon reaching his house, Usopp shouted,"Mom, I'm home. I brought friends."

A frail woman was lying on the bed. She struggled to get up. Ryu ran forward and gently eased her back on the bed.

"Ma'am, please don't strain yourself."

She let out a sigh," I am sorry dear, it's just that Usopp had never had friends before. In this village, other than being scorned, no one ever cared for him. It's--" suddenly, she started coughing blood intensely.

"Mom!!!"

Ace and Sabo held her steady. Ryu was not too sure what to do. In the original work, Usopp's mom died, so this time, Ryu did not have much hope to heal her.

Kuina asked Usopp curiously," Usopp, haven't you tried to contact the doctor's family?"

Usopp wiped away his tears." I tried, but even they say that it's incurable."

Ryu thought for a while and felt that he needed a solution. Maybe the island sign in could help her.

"System, check in"

"Checking in Frost Moon Village. Congratulations to the crew for gaining +2 speed. The effects are being transmitted to the crew."

While the effects were being transmitted, Ryu sighed. Unfortunately, there was nothing to heal her.

"System, can you give rewards to non-crew members?"

"The host can designate partners of the crew. They will only receive a lucky draw, but not receive the benefits of the island check in. The partner must have 80% trust with one of the crew members. The partner must be under the age of 15."

Ryu thought he finally found a way, but this hope was dashed when he saw that the partner must be under the age of 18 as well. Well, he hoped to do his best with the issue.

Usopp's mom struggled to speak," I can feel myself dying. Child, can you please promise me to take care of Usopp. I heard that you are pirates."

Under this depressing atmosphere, even Luffy could not say anything to cheer them all up. Ryu decided to take charge in this scenario.

"Sitting around here will not help us much. We need to split up. Usopp, Ace, come with me to the doctor's house. We'll try to borrow a ship. Kuina, Sabo, stay with Mrs.Usopp and take care of her. Luffy, Zoro, just walk around the town and explore. Keep an eye out for any suspicious people."

Although Usopp was sad, he decided to honor his mom's wish and join their crew, but Ryu felt that it wasn't time to award the lucky draw yet.

The Doctor's villa is not too far from the village, but it is also built on the highest point with the best and widest view on the entire island.

With Usopp leading the way, Ryu and his party quickly came to the gate. Upon entering, he saw a little blonde lolli and a butler standing behind her. Ryu remembered that the little girl was fond of Usopp in the original story. Perhaps, she could be designated as a partner of their crew.

"Mr. Usopp?!"

Kaya, who was wearing a coat, was watering flowers, with short blond hair, saw Usopp in front of the gate for a moment, and then immediately showed a look of joy.

"Why did you come so early today, shouldn't you be in the village to wake everyone up?"

Kaya walked over in surprise and doubt, but before she could take two steps forward, she was stopped by someone.

"Please pay attention to your body, miss."

Wearing a straight and slender black suit, the mansion housekeeper who supported his round glasses with his palm said softly.

"...It's all right, Mr. Crabattle, Mr. Usopp is not a bad guy."

Kaya also knew that she was seemingly serious but in fact a very gentle housekeeper. She tried to let go, but her butler held her hand firmly. WHat could a little girl do against a pirate with a 16 million bounty.

The reason why Kuro was suspicious was because Usopp had always sneaked in before. It was the first time for him to come directly to the gate like this.

"I don't know if he's a bad guy, but I know the group of people behind him..."

Butler Krabatel looked at the few people who followed Usopp, and his eyes flashed. They were just children, but his intuition as a pirate was never wrong. Feeling that he was overreacting, he let go of Kaya's hand.

"Um?"

Kaya just realized that there were another two boys behind Usopp.

"Are these people all Mr. Usopp's friends?"

She is kind by nature and doesn't think much about it.

"Friend? We are his crew-mates. My name is Ryu and his name is Ace"

As the most handsome person among the crowd, Link did his part to introduce themselves with a smile.

"Are you pirates??" asked Kaya with sparkling eyes. Growing up, Kaya was influenced by all the stories told by Usopp so she viewed pirates as heroic people.

Kuro decided to distance himself from them, so he distracted Keya," Miss, its time for lunch. We can talk to them later if you like."

Ryu saw that Kuro was trying to get away, so he said,"Actually, we are here to talk to the doctor."

Kaya smiled," Why don't we all have lunch together then."

Under Kaya's invitation, they came in to dine. Usopp was very nervous throughout this meeting, but they didn't mind. When Ace saw the food, he wolfed it down and started snoring halfway between the meal. Ryu smacked his head. Even though he grew up with him, he still could not change his habits.

While eating, Kaya's father asked Ryu,"Why did you want to meet us?"

"We heard that there is a big family in the sea boat business on this island, so we came to visit and plan to buy a good boat that can sail."

Ryu said politely, "Of course, we will definitely pay for the related expenses."

"It turned out to be a guest..."

Kaya's father nodded comfortably. He thought that these kids were joking around, "Then I can take the liberty to ask, what do you guys do and what kind of ships do you need?"

"Our profession?"

Ryu smiled, "It's a pirate, and I need a good pirate ship that can sail the great route."

After Ryu finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a while. Kaya's mother was amused, so she agreed with them.

"Miss!!"

Butler Krabatel next to him suddenly intervened in their conversation. "Although I don't know the identity of the other party, since I dare to call myself a pirate, then it must not be a good person, and it may even be detrimental to you, Miss. At a young age, they are such evil children?"

Speaking of this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he scolded Ryu and the others.

"You dirty pirates, leave here immediately, this is not where you should be!!"

At the same time, he did not forget to snap at to Usopp:

"What kind of thoughts are you hiding in bringing the pirates here? Could it be that you colluded with the pirates and planned to do something wrong with the young lady?!" If this can lead to a break in the relationship between Kaya and Usopp, that would be better for his plan.

In this way, his purpose can be implemented and achieved more quickly and smoothly.

Just as the housekeeper Crabattle thought so, Ryu replied

"Isn't this where pirates should come, then why are you here?"

He looked straight at the "Krabatel" butler.

"The captain of the Black Cat Pirates, the big pirate with a bounty of up to 16 million Baileys, Kuro of a Hundred Plans?"

Captain of the Black Cat Pirates? More than 10 million Bailey's big pirates? Kuro?

The names that Ryu said in a row made everyone in the arena startled.

"Kuro?"

Kaya's mom frowned and pondered, "I remember that this is the pirate that Monka captured a year ago, and it was also because of this credit that he was promoted."

"Isn't that pirate already executed by the navy? Why..."

Kaya's mom stopped abruptly before she finished speaking.

She saw Ryu's hand, and suddenly there was a reward list, which was the wanted order of Kuro.

And the photo on it is exactly the same as the butler Krabatel in front of him!

"Mr. Crabattle..."

Kaya's eyes stared at Kuro dazedly.

One of the great things about the One Piece world is that the people here are very simple and simple.What other people say, as long as it is not too outrageous, will basically be believed.

This is why careerists such as Crocodile and Doflamingo can easily frame and frame and gain the trust of the people.

Kaya originally believed that the housekeeper who had taken care of her for three years was definitely not a bad person.

But when Ryu's well-founded and coherent words came out, coupled with Kuro's expressionless face at this time, Kaya began to shake a little.

"One Year..."

Kuro suddenly let out a sigh of relief, "Do you know how I've been through the past year?"

"Every day I had to put on that so-called warm smile and face other people with a completely fake face."

He tugged at his neckline, and whispered there, "In order to be a qualified housekeeper, I had to do those subordinate jobs and look at other people's faces."

He lowered his head, reached out his hand, and supported his glasses with the palm of his hand. When he raised his head again, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Especially to accompany this little girl and do those ridiculous things every day, I am the most feared pirate in the sea!! , endure the humiliation! ! If it wasn't for the sake of living in the sun and completely separating from the damn pirate life before, I wouldn't want to stay here, doing these things that I find extremely disgusting!!"

After speaking, the aura of his whole body changed.

From the butler temperament of a gentleman and aristocrat before, it has changed into a fierce, ruthless murderous big pirate! !

"Clobartelle..."

Kaya and her parents were so frightened that their face turned pale, and Kaya fell to the ground all of a sudden, mixed with disbelief in her terrified expression.

Ace awakened suddenly when he felt the killing intentions and got in a state of combat readiness. Ryu just held his fork and spoon while maintaining a close eye on Kuro.

Kuro said expressionlessly, "If it wasn't for you, my plan would have been executed flawlessly. After two days, the owner of this mansion will pass away during an accident in a sea voyage, and I, as their most trusted person , will inherit their property in their demise and live a normal life from now on. My crew is already waiting near the docs, ready for the plan."

"I didn't expect it to be disrupted by a group of children calling themselves pirates, who suddenly appeared today, but although the plan has leaked, the problem is not very big."

There were black shadows hanging down on his forehead, "As long as all of you are solved, there will be no problem!!"

Ryu smiled," But that's where you went wrong Kuro. You are a very good strategist, but we have someone who makes plans useless.. That's why I sent Luffy and Zoro to wander around. With their luck, they will definitely beat up you crew. Any moment now."

By coincidence, Luffy and Zoro came inside the house with a bang. "Ryu, I caught a bunch of pirates. What should I do with them?"

Zoro said," While this baka and I were walking around, we overheard them talking about hijacking a ship so we brought them down."

"Impossible!!!" Kuro stared at them with a bewildered expression. Even though he looked down on his crew, they were definitely something that shouldn't be taken care of so easily.

"Boss save me," screamed one of Kuro's subordinates. "These children came barging in. The short one was glowing red and beat up all of us while the green haired one cut up all our weapons."

"Haha hear that Zoro, he's calling you short," said Luffy while laughing clutching his stomach."

"Baka, you are the glowing red one."

"Huh, hey fat uncle are you calling me short."

Kuro couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore. He decided to not waste anymore time.

"I wanted to kill you for a long time..."

He said lightly, but he started with a deadly sternness, "Pirate's bastard."

despair! !

The sword shadow of [Ten Blades] swept across, and then there was a crisp sound that seemed to be whining, and in the shocked eyes of Crow, it was cut off.

"That's it? Even Sabo can strike harder than that and he doesn't even use a sword."

Ace, who was standing in front of Usopp, deflected the slash even before it came close to him.

Kuro's face changed instantly. Even he couldn't deal with his own move that easily.

"Ryu once said that according to physics, force is directly proportional to acceleration. Although I'm not sure what physics is, I'm sure that you aren't fast enough."

Crow's two strongest tricks, one is Silent Step, and the other is [Spoon].

He had already shown the first one, and after facing Ace, he decided to use his killer move.

The second after Ace finished speaking, he moved.

As if to mock what Ace just said, the moment his figure disappeared. Ordinary people like Kaya, Usopp couldn't even see his afterimages, but Ryu and Ace could still see him moving clearly.

Before Kuro could attack, Ace also moved and started slashing at him.

"Since you have used your strongest, let me end this battle."

Ace went for a forward thrust and a sideways slash. If the opponent was in control of his moves, this would have been a good choice, but Kuro had no control over his moves. He ran straight into the Zanpakuto and the blade pierced his heart.

Ace blinked. Was this a 16 million bounty pirate? Isn't that too weak? Ryu shook his head at that. He had wanted to incapacitate him and take him to the navy for a bounty, but since he was dead, the navy would have no way to prove that he was Kuro. After seeing Kuro's death, Zoro's eyes briefly changed. No one else noticed this but Ryu. Ryu felt that since he experienced the first kill, Zoro would slowly improve the given ability soon. Luffy just felt that it was unfortunate, but he didn't care too much. He was more interested in the food on the table and quickly started eating the food.

Kaya's parents were very grateful. They decided to pay Ryu the 16 million bounty that was supposed to be given by the Navy to Ryu. With this, the destiny pirates now had some basic assets. They promised to give a boat to them by tomorrow. Ryu also pulled Kaya aside.

"Kaya, would you like to become a partner to our crew? You don't need to join us. All you need to do is to support our group from here."

After getting Kaya's permission, he also gave Kaya a lucky draw. When the lottery wheel started spinning, it landed on the Sacred Gear 'Twilight Healing' from High School DXD. This was like a godsend for Ryu. Ryu quickly brought Kaya to Usopp's house and Kaya healed Usopp's mother. That night, they had a nice banquet to celebrate their victory and their first fight.

The next day, the crew went down to the docks to see their new boat. The first time Luffy saw Merry, he ran over with the cheers of joy. He settled on the boat as his future exclusive seat, where the head of the boat was.

"Is this our pirate ship?!"

Luffy laughed until the corners of his mouth couldn't close. Hering this, Ryu said, "Your name is Merry, isn't it? I'll call you the Golden Merry!!"

The rest of the crew also boarded on the boad.

"It is indeed better than those pirate ships I have seen before."

After walking around, Zoro found a place on the deck to lie down while admiring. Although the size of the boat is small, it is quite comfortable to ride.

Accompanied by Merry, Ryu also checked the whole ship carefully. Everyone was quite satisfied with the boat.

After getting acquainted with the operation of the ship and having a few words with Keya and Merry, the group began to pull the anchor and prepare to set sail. While sailing, Ryu brought Usopp to the front and decided to give him the awards. Everyone else also gathered to see what kind of skill would usopp get.

"System, draw a lottery for Usopp."

" Ding, the crewmate Usopp has drawn the Stand 6 shots. The item is being distributed"

While Usopp was synchronizing the awards from the island lottery draw, Ryu saw that even though everyone had the same draw from the lottery, they displayed different strengths.

"System, why is Kuina and Usopp weaker if everyone got the same rewards."

"Ding, the system's rewards are still based on natural talent. Everyone's physique is different, so different people will have different strengths. "

Once Usopp fully awakened, Ryu gave a pistol to Usopp. Usopp examined it closely, and suddenly, the bullets came to life.

One Shot," Woah there partner, slow down."

"Aah, Ghost!!!," screamed Usopp as he ran back. Ryu was not sure how, but Usopp wore the priest's clothes and held a cross with one hand and a bottle of holy water on the other hand. "Begone demons, In the name of the Holy Father."

Ryu smacked his head.``Usopp, that's actually your ability given to you. The stand's name is six shots. They are basically 6 bullets which are extremely suited for your ability."

Usopp calmed down and said," Hear that six shot, you belong to me."

2 shot," Seriously we are stuck with him."

3 shot," At least he is a sniper."

Six shots," All right partner, lets aim to be the best Gangster."

Ryu sighed. Even though he was in a different world, these little guys' personalities remained the same. Oh well. Next up, time for a cook.
