One Piece: Unreal Adventure-Chapter 49: Will they believe you?

(TN: Sorry homies got sick as hell and ended up in the hospital. The Curse is real!! Heres a shit ton of Chapters :))

"Let go! I have to warn them!" Usopp shouted now that they were out of earshot. Coby wondered why the rubber boy stopped him.

"Will they believe you? Can they even help anything if they do?" Luffy asked quietly. Usopp's eyes widened as he realized the obvious answer to both questions. His expression turned troubled and he looked at the ground. Coby was surprised at the quick thinking, Luffy didn't seem to be the thoughtful type.

"Then what can I do? This is the village I grew up in, I can't just abandon them to their fate!" Usopp said.

"Then fight for what you believe." Luffy said. He also added, "An island big as this should also have some marines patrolling the waters... but as you guys don't pay tax to world government calling in help now would be ignored or thought of as a prank."

Coby snapped his head to Luffy. "Tax? Wait, is that why some of the Island Alvida attacked and docked on never had Marines on them." Now everything added up.

Luffy obviously added that part to manipulate Coby. And the pink-haired kid knew it, and yet what Luffy said was nothing but the truth. Just how far is the corruption of the Marines? Is there any justice in that any organization to begin with?

"Fine... I will stand up against them." Usopp said with determination. "I will die protecting the village like a hero." He said with shaky legs.

"Eh... didn't you want to be a pirate."

"Yeah, but if I die I won't be able to be one," Usopp added as he gulped, why was he talking about his obvious demise?

"Then let's make sure you stay alive till then," Luffy said, with his odd laugh. "Sparky you brought the two guns I have told you to?"

The six-armed monkey popped up from a tree. As he took his bag out of his shoulders and scrambled something out of there. Two polished wooden guns.

"Toy guns made out of Adam wood," Luffy said as he placed them at Usopp's shaky hands. "Salvaged them from an idiot price years ago... and after Sparky did a bit of tinkering he was able to make it work with most round-shaped bullets. The only drawback is that it won't kill anyone."

"I... uh... they are surprisingly light," Usopp said.

Luffy nodded. "Yup, most things built from Adam wood are. When I first saw them, I just knew they would work well for my future sharpshooter. They also have minimal recoil, which also means less sound as well. Using your slingshot wouldn't be fast for pirates... and I want to see if you can master it in a day. Sparky would be helping you of course."

What Luffy was planning to Jhon-Wick Usopp up before the end of the year.

Slingshots are awesome, no doubt there. But do you know what's even more awesome. Gun. Fucking Guns! I tell you.

The made a sound of appreciation as he took out six smaller-looking silver revolvers from his side. All of them seemed dangerous and both Usopp and Coby had no doubts that they were.

Usopp gulped. "I... thanks."

"I actually gave you this so you don't feel guilty for accidentally killing anyone, but it still uses gun powder, so a shot to the eyes or throat could kill someone. But a shot to the chest, arms, legs or any other areas won't knock out someone, then again it might be same for your slingshot. So you only have one chance for a headshot."

"Jezz you are not putting pressure on me at all." Usopp said, still a bit shaky, but he grabbed the guns. They were designed six-shot revolvers. And used small round-type bullets, not much different from his usual slingshot ammo. The gun had an upper compartment where gunpowder needed to be added. "Thanks... I actually don't want to accidentally kill someone."

Luffy waved his hand. "We will fix that as well, when we reach the grandlines... we will find many bastards who you would love to blow their brains off."

Luffy found some sick pleasure in the pale face of Usopp and laughed evilly.

"Let's not do that..." the sniper said.

Luffy nodded in acknowledgment and, having been prompted for advice, started brainstorming a plan out loud.

Usopp and Coby kept a focused expression and nodded every now and then, as well as throwing their own suggestions. By the time they met up with the rest of the crew, the veggie trio was nowhere in sight. Kunia seemed to be annoyed at Zoro for some reason, anger maybe. And Nami seemed to look at them warily.

Coby filled them in on what happened. Nami looked mildly disturbed but kept calm, while Zoro and Kuina's expressions conveyed nothing of his thoughts. For them, it was just unpaid pirate cleaning.

With the plan decided on, all of them started making preparations for the following morning.

Only Usopp was out in the wild trying to fix his aim with his new weapons. The gunshots weren't all that loud so they could practice for some time in the edge of the island.

Luffy had to say, Usopp was natural at gunslinging. There was also a reason why he put pressure on Usopp, it was to judge his talent. And also to make use of it.

As in this world, talents are only shown when people are in huge pressure. And Luffy knew this one of those situations for Usopp. And he used it wisely.

Taking inspiration from Usopp, Coby also asked Luffy from hand to hand-to-hand combat training.

And so Luffy drilled some basics into the pink-haired boy. He was real eager to fight of those pirates and show them justice. Huh, I'm really taking a good marine away from Grandpa, poor him.

Anyway, Coby also wanted to use a spear-like weapon. And found a sharp pitchfork. He was trying to copy who he saw as the strongest, so Luffy didn't mind giving him pointers.

Luffy actually felt bad that he would be taking away such an honest figure from the Marines. But oh well, they don't say, pirates are greedy for nothing.
