Chapter 29: Usopp

Nami's heart cried with empathy as she listened to the boy go on about how he's weak and how he lost such a big amount of money especially when Merry was just about to be fixed.

When Usopp had said this, her heart ached more. She decided that now was definitely not the best time to tell the boy that Merry was in a horrible condition.

"Usopp! Oh my god!"

The two flinched at your voice. Usopp not wanting you to get any closer and Nami understanding why he wouldn't want you to.

"Don't worry, Usopp. Im gonna come back with Chopper and the others! Don't worry about the money okay! Stay here!" Nami say Usopp against the wall as you ran over, finally seeing the state he was in.

Usopp closed his eyes, not wanting to see your reaction.

"Get the fuck out of here! This isn't a fucking show! Move!"

Both your crew members were shocked at the sudden use of foul language, never seeing you so angry as you brought out your scythe to scare everyone away.

The crowd of bystanders immediately ran away at the sight of the weapon and you quickly put it away and ran to Usopp's side.

Usopp wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. How pathetic was he?

The person who held so much faith and trust in him, who made him believe he could actually be a brave warrior, was hovering over his beaten up body worrying their ass off.

How stupid was he to believe he could live up to how you thought of him. How fucking dumb was he to think that he really was the brave guy that you said he was.

In the end, the only thing he could repay you with for being so supportive was disappointing you. You must've hated him now. You must've thought he was weak, not worthy of being on Luffy's crew.

Usopp couldn't stand the feeling of disgust in his chest and bubbling of self hatred. So when you and Nami left to get the others, he mustered up the strength to move his fingers. Then his hands, his wrists, his arms, and soon enough he was panting heavily as he leaned against the brick wall.

He dragged himself all the way to the Franky Family's house and forced himself to draw back his slingshot and destroy the main entrance.

Usopp wasn't going to just sit there and nope. He was going to get back that money and face everyone once again. Prove to you guys and everyone else that he was strong enough and worthy enough to be on the crew with them.

But alas, he wasn't.

He laid on the ground as the Franky Family kicked him with a patronizing laugh. Usopp reach out his hand to the briefcases as his vision started to darken, "Give me...back...the money..."

His words reaching no one's ears but his own as he finally passed out before the Franky Family threw him out their base.

"Are you sure it's here, Y/n?" Zoro asked as we looked at the spot Usopp had been in.

My hands closed into fists at the absence of the boy, knowing that he had gone off by himself.

"This is blood..." Chopper had felt the liquid on the ground with concern laced in his voice.

"He must've gone by himself to get the money, that fucking idiot," I glared at the bloods on the floor, my concern trying to disguise itself with anger.

Sanji placed a hand on my shoulder gently, "Come on, we can still catch up to him."

And so we did.

Luffy had to ask Chopper if he was still breathing. I stared down, an unreadable expression on my face as I saw the boy in a worse condition than before.
