One Piece: The Emperor-Level Item Master Shocks the World

"A man's promise cannot be broken by simply getting lost."

Hearing this, Nami felt a little worried and stopped walking.

Although Frankie was right, he still felt uneasy.

Meanwhile, Robin, who had been somewhat confused, looked bewildered.

"If we need to find someone, my flower-fruit might be of some use."

As soon as Robin finished speaking, Lei Luo walked straight to his side, waved his hand, and said:

"No need, he will definitely come."

After saying that, Leroy sat down at the alley entrance, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and waited for Usopp.

Just as the sun was about to set below the horizon, Usopp finally ran over.

He carried a whole bunch of spare parts and boasted about it:

"I've already learned how to repair the Going Merry from Uncle Iceberg. From now on, I can absolutely guarantee Going Merry's safety on the Going Merry."

With that, Usopp ran straight up to Luffy, then thought for a moment and said:

"Ah, I admit I was wrong, but haven't we already fought side by side? Shouldn't we be able to put our differences behind us now, Luffy?"

After Usopp finished speaking, he eagerly awaited Luffy's reply, but Luffy remained silent with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Usopp immediately felt the atmosphere become somewhat oppressive, and cold sweat broke out on his brow. He took a step back and looked at Leylo, saying:

"Ah, yes, yes, I should formally apologize to Lei Luo."

With that, Usopp prepared to apologize to Leroy according to the words he had rehearsed.

But before he could speak, Lei Luo coldly said:

"You should leave the Straw Hat crew, Usopp."

These words struck Usopp like a bolt of lightning, piercing his heart.

Usopp struggled to lift his head. The autumn wind swept through the night, and a sense of desolation welled up in his chest.

Usopp gritted his teeth, grabbed Rael's collar, and said:

"Don't go to such extremes, won't you even give me a chance to apologize?"

Before Usopp could say anything more, Leero slapped his hand away and turned to face the Going Merry.

"You didn't give me a chance either."

"What are all those extra parts on your body for?"

"You never believed me, nor did you sincerely apologize. According to what you said back then, you have no right to return to the Straw Hat crew's ship."

Upon hearing this, Usopp's body parts began to fall off one after another.

Usopp opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

At that moment, Raylo looked at Luffy and said:

"Luffy, you guys get down first, I'm about to begin."

Upon hearing this, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, and the others all turned serious.

Without a shred of doubt about what Lei Luo said, he walked straight and seriously off the ship.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Usopp trembled. He then shouted:

"That kind of thing is impossible, isn't it? 'Just a little touch'? Isn't that just an excuse?!"

At this point, Usopp suppressed his anger, threw away all the parts on his body, and said:

"Ah, yes, I didn't think it through. Now that we have a new ship, we should say goodbye to the old era. If we can't bring these things, then we can't bring them."

As Usopp was speaking, Leylo had already arrived in front of the new ship and the Going Merry, and then silently recited in his mind:

"System, begin the integration!"

As soon as Lei Luo finished speaking, he looked at the two ships in front of him and they emitted streaks of white light.

In the blink of an eye, the Merry merged with the new ship.

The next moment, a huge Merry appeared before everyone's eyes.

The facilities that were originally installed on the new ship are also present on the Merry.

It still looks like the Going Merry, and the Going Merry's sheep head is showing a bright smile.

Upon seeing this, the Straw Hat crew all showed expressions of excitement, while Iceberg was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

To be honest, even a human being would not believe that the two ships could be merged together like that.

Could it be some kind of Devil Fruit power?

This is probably the only explanation available now.

The people of Water City present were even more astonished.

They then sat on the ground, and some even fell directly into the water.

Of all those people, Usopp was the most shocked.

Usopp stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink for a moment, as he looked directly at the now enormous Going Merry.

He then knelt on the ground, tears welling in his eyes.

He then gritted his teeth, kowtowed to the ground, and shouted:

"I'm sorry, I was too willful. I shouldn't have distrusted my partners. Please forgive me, Lei Luo, everyone!"

Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Luffy's face.

Then, pointing to the distant horizon where only a flat-topped red sun remained, he said:

"The sun hasn't completely set yet, so it's not against the rules, is it, Lei Luo?"

Hearing this, Lei Luo sighed, then pressed down on the brim of his hat with one hand and said:

"I really can't do anything with you. I'll forgive you this time, but if there's a next time, I won't need to personally ask you to leave."

Chapter 428 Usopp Admits His Mistake and Rejoins the Straw Hat Crew!

At this point, Lei Luo stopped talking, and Luffy followed up with a grin:

"There won't be a next time. Usopp is very good at learning from his mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Usopp went straight to Luffy and then lightly punched Luffy on the head.

"Hey, I don't feel like you're praising me at all!"

Upon hearing Usopp's words, Sanji smiled, lit a cigarette, and then took a deep drag.

"I really don't know if your return is a blessing or a curse. What we are about to face is a hellish battle."

Upon hearing this, Usopp began to tremble.

He then patted his chest and said:

"This, this, how could this possibly stump my Uncle Usopp!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro revealed a sinister smile and then placed his hand on the River Ichimonji.

"Next, we're going to Naval Headquarters. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun."

Upon hearing this, not only Usopp, but also Nami and the others were plunged into despair.

Upon hearing this, Luffy also showed a worried expression, and then said:

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Ace. He's my brother, and I can't leave him unattended."

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew steadied themselves and looked at Luffy, saying:

"Don't worry, we will definitely serve you to the end regarding your brother's matter. After all, we are partners."

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately pulled his straw hat down, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing this, Nami laughed brightly, then touched her chin and said:

"If we're going to the Navy Headquarters, we need to plan our route in advance."

"After all, the Naval Headquarters is a completely unfamiliar route. If we stumble upon it by mistake, we might end up on a different course."

Upon hearing Nami's words, Iceberg stepped forward.

"Leave this to me. We've been supplying ships to Naval Headquarters."

"I am very familiar with the route to Naval Headquarters, which should be of assistance to you."

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew became excited, but at this moment, Iceberg looked worried and said:

"However, all I can tell you is the route to Naval Headquarters."

"But at Naval Headquarters, there is a specific route that you cannot reach Naval Headquarters without taking that route."

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew all turned serious and looked in the direction of the iceberg.

Centered on the Naval Headquarters, there are three interconnected points.

These three world governments are interconnected, forming a unique and ever-flowing current.

These three institutions are: The City That Never Sleeps and Judiciary Island.

Impel Down, the underwater prison.

And there's the Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

There is a unique ocean current that exists between these three institutions: the doldrums.

Above this windless ocean current, only one current mechanism is activated.

Only then can the ship be allowed to pass; otherwise, the ship will be stuck in an endless loop on the ocean current.

This is why, over the years, no one has been able to successfully break out of Impel Down.

Because they control the ocean currents, a prison break is simply impossible.

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew all hung their heads in dejection, a look of frustration appearing in their eyes.
