I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

The unit to which it belongs is secret.

Why go to the dock where pirate ships are moored? It's a secret.

That answer?! It'd be a miracle if it wasn't from One Piece!

Jonathan, however, did not expose Usopp. Instead, he planned to use Usopp to lure out the others.

"Take him to prison immediately and torture him severely."

Drake suggested.

"No, no, wait, Major."

"I heard that a lieutenant colonel inspector from headquarters has also arrived at our base. The inspector's identity is a secret, and they always conduct a covert observation before each mission."

Jonathan replied, clearly addressing Usopp.

Usopp jumped straight in, thinking he had a chance to escape.

The show begins!!

Hehehehe!

“That’s right, I am the lieutenant colonel inspector from headquarters.”

"Let me go!!"

Usopp gave a cold laugh, then shouted with great force.

The soldier holding him down immediately released his grip, "I'm so sorry!!! Lieutenant Colonel!!"

Usopp stood up with the Dragon King's smug, crooked smile, and dusted off the dirt on his knees.

"Impossible! You don't look like a lieutenant colonel from headquarters at all!!"

Drake was unwilling to admit it.

But putting everything else aside, the real lieutenant colonel inspector has an even more impressive overall image than Usopp.

"Hey! Hey!!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Usopp swaggered over, pointed a finger at Drake's chest, and acted incredibly arrogant, a stark contrast to his previous timid demeanor.

"You, a mere branch major, are you questioning me, a lieutenant colonel from headquarters, your superior officer?!"

Usopp spoke with such confidence and overwhelming presence, as if it were the truth. Of the two actors in the Straw Hat Pirates, he and Bai Yun were the best.

For a moment, Drake doubted himself. Was this guy really that confident?

Jonathan wanted Usopp to keep up the act so as to attract the attention of others, but at that moment, a soldier rushed in, saluted, and said...

"Reporting to the Commander, the Inspector General, Lieutenant Colonel Schapard, and his adjutant, Captain Tekura, have arrived from headquarters."

Usopp's bravado vanished instantly. "I didn't expect the real deal to come..."

Drake immediately grabbed him by the back of his collar, "You little brat, you really are a fake!! I'll show you what's what!!"

"Ah!! Where did that arrogant attitude go? Ah!!!"

"It's over!!"

"It's over! It's over!!"

Usopp lowered his head again.

But then suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

"Hello, Commander Jonathan."

"Oh, hello there, Lieutenant Colonel Schapard and Captain Tecula. You've come all this way, thank you for your hard work."

"Why is Captain Tekura dressed as a soldier?"

Robin and Jonathan exchanged pleasantries.

Usopp looked up and saw Robin and Bai Yun dressed in military uniforms.

I was shocked. I didn't expect them to be pretending too. That's great.

"It's cooler this way."

Bai Yun replied, "Otherwise, where would he find another captain's uniform?"

Before Jonathan could speak, Usopp struggled to shout first.

"Hahaha, it's you guys, Lieutenant Colonel, Captain."

"Ah, it's me, Lieutenant Colonel Usopp, who came to Nabaron with you. Don't let my attire prevent you from recognizing me."

"Shall we change clothes together, Captain?"

Usopp's words were tantamount to betraying his teammates, but it's normal that he couldn't think things through in this situation.

"Um?"

"Do the lieutenant colonel and captain know this person?"

Bai Yun and Robin shook their heads simultaneously, indicating that...

"I have never seen this person before."

"Me too, and I'm not really used to changing clothes with other people."

Usopp froze instantly.

"Ah!! It's me!! It's me!!"

Drake shouted.

"Lock him up in jail!!!"

With a bang, Drake slammed the door shut, and the room instantly became a little quieter.

"Then, from now on, we will begin our investigation into Nabaron."

Bai Yun was still glancing at him with a smile when Robin, having composed himself, began to get down to business.

"Please make yourselves at home, Lieutenant Colonel Schapard, Captain Tekura."

Jonathan said, "Do as you please."

Robin turned his head and smiled back.

"Thank you so much."

.........

"Aaaaah!! Robin's doing this purely out of revenge, revenge that we split up!!"

"If she thought like me, we would have rescued the Going Merry long ago. And Bai Yun, he actually stood by and watched it die, just like Robin!!"

There was one more guest at the prison.

Usopp didn't forget to complain about Robin and Bai Yun.

Zoro, who had been lying still beside him, opened his eyes.

"No, you should thank them."

"They're doing this for your safety."

"why?"

Usopp was puzzled.

"Perhaps it's because I'm here."

Even with his hands cuffed and his sword locked away, Zoro remained confident.

"Oh, I didn't realize they were doing this for my own good."

Usopp was somewhat touched, and he admitted that having Zoro around would indeed make things much safer.

But, "Is this place really safe?"

Usopp looked up at the iron bars and saw that more than a dozen gun barrels were pointed at him and Zoro.

It's extremely safe.

At least, if he has enemies among the pirates, he won't come after him.

.........

"It would have been better not to investigate at all."

"This place even has an exit."

"But there's only one exit..."

Robin and Bai Yun went to the library and looked at the overhead view of G8 Fortress to understand its defenses and where the exit was.

What Robin meant by that was...

Knowing that there's only one exit makes things really difficult.

Chapter 371 Secret Weapon

Every naval fortress, whether it's headquarters, a branch, or Impel Down, has only one exit leading to the outside world.

Unless you can fly, this is the only way out.

And this exit is the huge iron gate with the word "Justice" written on it, also known as the "Gate of Justice".

The Nabalon G8 fortress, known as an impregnable fortress, was naturally the same.

.........

"Shouldn't it be normal to only have one export outlet?"

Bai Yun said that he was also holding a book and flipping through it, but he didn't read a single word. He was paying attention to the soldiers who were secretly observing them. With Jonathan's intelligence, he could guess that their identities were strange.

"Yes, that's normal."

Robin replied, but his eyes remained fixed on the map.

"If we can't get through the iron gate, and we can't blow it open, that's a problem, right?"
