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

"The Going Merry is beyond repair!!!"

"It can't be fixed no matter what, otherwise I wouldn't have done this."

Upon hearing this terrifying truth, Usopp's eyes widened, and he stood frozen in place.

"Are you talking about this ship? The ship we've been on until now?"

Usopp asked the question again in disbelief.

Luffy knew Usopp was reluctant to part with him, and after calming down, he reassured him.

"Yes, the ship is sinking."

"Did the shipwrights say it themselves?"

Forest Mask Bai Yun interrupted and asked.

Luffy looked at him and nodded.

Usopp still refused to believe it, crossing his arms and glancing to the side.

"What are you talking about, Luffy?"

"We only met those people today, and you already believe them?"

"Just because of what this self-proclaimed 'first-rate shipwright' said, you're going to abandon the Going Merry?!"

"Abandon these partners who have fought alongside us through countless trials and tribulations?!"

"Are you going to kill it right now?!"

"Is that all you value this ship for, Luffy?!"

Usopp's every word was impassioned, and every single one of them was piercing Luffy's heart. He was too extreme, forgetting how much Luffy and everyone else also loved the Going Merry.

Forest Mask Bai Yun sighed and shook his head. Usopp loved the Going Merry too much. The deeper the love, the more extreme he became when he lost it, and the less he could maintain his rationality.

The Uchiha clan is the best example of this.

Chapter 441 Fight Me!!

Usopp loves the Going Merry so much that he's become so extreme now.

The mysterious masked man understood this well; without Lin, there was no point in the world existing.

Usopp isn't quite that extreme, but he's still quite extreme.

They were so extreme that they refused to believe the professional shipwright, thinking that Luffy was fickle and only had new ships on his mind.

He forgot how much Luffy loved the bow of the Going Merry, his special spot.

........

"The Luffy I know wouldn't believe the words of a businessman like that; he firmly believes in the strength of the Going Merry."

"Don't put on that captain's airs, thinking you're so wise and experienced... what a terrible decision you've made!!"

Usopp was so extreme that he was unlike his usual self, and he even had the audacity to grab Luffy by the collar.

"I misjudged you! Luffy!!"

"Wait a minute, Usopp, Luffy also started..."

Nami wanted to explain to Luffy that when he first learned the Going Merry couldn't be repaired, he was just as excited and unwilling to believe it. But Iceberg's words woke him up. As the captain, he had to make a decision. If the Going Merry were to completely disintegrate and sink to the bottom of the sea while sailing at sea, it would be too late.

"Shut up!! Nami!!"

Usopp shouted, which showed how extreme he was.

"I will make the decision. Now that things have come to this, no matter what you say, I will not change my mind."

"I'm changing ships, so I'm saying goodbye to the Going Merry right here!!"

Usopp's words were ruthless, and Luffy was just as resolute.

"Are you kidding me?! I've decided not to allow it!!"

"Enough! You're all so agitated, when are you going to stop arguing?! Can't we discuss anything?"

Sanji couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't understand why Zoro and Bai Yun were still resting with their eyes closed, as if it was none of their business. He signaled to them that they were being ignored, and then called out to them himself.

But Sanji is being a bit naive. This isn't a matter of negotiation; the Going Merry has reached its end, and that's something Usopp has to accept. But it seems that Usopp won't be done anytime soon, at least not now.

"Listen up, Luffy! Not everyone is like you, only looking ahead and abandoning their injured crewmates to continue their journey. I could never do something like that."

Usopp's words struck Luffy deeply; saying that Luffy abandoned his crew was the greatest insult imaginable.

Luffy's eyes reddened. "Stop talking nonsense!!! Even if they're crewmates, the Going Merry is a ship, it's different!! There's nothing we can do!!"

Usopp wouldn't listen.

"Same here!! The Going Merry also has potential, and it also wants to survive!!!"

"The problem is you're only concerned about the new ship right now, but you're pretending to be really attached to the Going Merry!!"

Hearing this, Bai Yun frowned. Usopp was getting too excited!

really.

when!

These words hit Luffy like a hammer blow. He only cares about the new ship? And he's just pretending to be reluctant to part with it?!

Luffy couldn't take it anymore and shoved Usopp to the ground, pinning his hands down. "Don't go too far!! Don't think you're the only one suffering!! Everyone's in the same boat!!"

"Then why did you still make the decision to change ships?"

In his extreme state, the six words "the Going Merry can't be repaired" completely failed to enter Usopp's mind.

"Alright!! If you're satisfied with my decision!! Get off this ship right now...."

"asshole!!"

Whoosh!

Snapped!

Luffy got excited too, but he couldn't say those words out loud. Sanji kicked out instantly, but Bai Yun flashed over, blocking Sanji's kick with one hand and pushing Luffy away from Usopp with the other.

"Both of you, calm down."

Forest Mask Bai Yun left, his tone cold and indifferent; it was inappropriate for him to speak in a cheerful tone at this moment.

"Sanji, this is between the two of them. Let them talk it over."

Withdrawing his hand, Forest Mask Hakuyun spoke to Sanji again. Seeing that Hakuyun had already made his move, Sanji could only sigh, retract his foot, and nod.

"Luffy, don't say things you can't take back because you're too excited."

"I'm sorry, I got too excited and unconsciously..."

Luffy apologized very quickly.

Forest Mask Hakuyun nodded, then looked at Usopp, who was looking at the deck and unwilling to meet Hakuyun's gaze.

"Usopp, you... have to accept reality."

As soon as he said that, Usopp looked up and met Bai Yun's gaze.

"You...you support Luffy too?!"

"That's right! You're Luffy's brother, of course you support him!!"

"What?"

Luffy was puzzled.

Forest Mask Hakuyun sighed. Usopp ignored everything and took off his mask. Luffy was surprised to see Hakuyun's face.

"Bai Yun!"

"So you were the Forest Mask!!"

Bai Yun nodded.

"Well, there are some reasons why I need another identity."

"Remember, when there are outsiders around, call me Forest Mask."

"You're still talking about this?!"

"What's there to pretend about! It's just your twisted sense of humor!!"

Usopp couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, interrupting Bai Yun and Luffy's conversation. He was really so extreme that he was almost out of his mind.

"Luffy, abandon your useless crew and keep going. If you're going to abandon this ship, then abandon me too."

"Hey! Stop talking nonsense, Usopp."

Sanji couldn't stand it anymore; what was this all about?

"No! I'm serious! I've thought about it for a long time, and to be honest, I can't keep up with your level anymore."

"Take today for example, if it weren't for Bai Yun, we might not have gotten the money back."

Bai Yun: "........"

"You guys don't need any crewmates who hold you back, Luffy. You'll become the King of the Seas someday, but I don't need to go that high."

"Back then, you were the ones who invited me onto the ship. Let our connection end here. We're on different paths, so I must..."

"Usopp! Do you know the consequences of saying that?!"

Bai Yun tried to stop it.

Usopp was silent for a few seconds, then turned and disembarked, declaring, "I'm leaving this pirate crew!!"

"What!!"

These words sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

"That won't do! Come back right now!"

Nami yelled.

"Ah! Wait!!"

Sanji never expected things to escalate to this point.
