Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

As Usopp was looking at the blueprints, preparing to find relevant information in the book, Luffy spoke up at that moment.

"Usopp, now read all these books from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately wore a bitter expression.

"Luffy, my greatest talent is in sniping; my research skills are only superficial."

"Even if you asked me to read all these books from the beginning, I still wouldn't be able to learn those advanced techniques."

Luffy ignored Usopp's words and continued speaking.

"You listen to me."

Usopp had no choice but to pick up a book and start reading from the first page.

However, Usopp was stunned as he watched.

He was surprised to find that his brain seemed to have awakened today. Knowledge that he could not understand or comprehend normally could now be remembered and understood with great ease, and he could even connect and summarize it with the knowledge he had read before.

Soon, Usopp was immersed in the joy of continuous exploration.

...

three days later.

This is the day that Kuro's current pirate crew is about to attack, as mentioned by Kuro.

The current captain, Zango, led over a hundred of his men ashore.

However, what awaited them was Zoro, who was well-prepared.

Zoro now is more than capable of taking down this group by himself.

It is also a good opportunity to improve one's skills.

Meanwhile, Luffy remains by Usopp's side, assisting him in learning relevant knowledge.

Within three days, Usopp had almost finished reading several books.

There's only one part left.

"call..."

Usopp let out a long breath, closed the book, and his eyes were brighter than ever before.

In the past few days, it felt as if he had discovered a new continent, with every moment bringing stimulation and surprise to his mind.

He also thoroughly experienced an art form through these books.

explosion!

Luffy handed the blueprints to Usopp once again.

This time, Usopp looked at the blueprints as if they were ordinary arithmetic problems; all the knowledge seemed extremely simple and easy to understand.

He even shook his head, still dissatisfied, as he looked at it.

"This design still has some flaws; it can't fully unleash its maximum power!"

"And it seems that it can be improved further, and several other new types of shells can be researched and designed."

At that moment, Usopp's brain started working at lightning speed.

A prompt also appeared in Luffy's mind.

"Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through the transmission of your understanding, your transmitter has gained some insight and deduced and comprehended - the improvement of the Pakistani bomb."

[Improved Pakistani Shell: An improvement upon the original Pakistani shell, further enhancing its power. It is the size of a standard artillery shell, but its power is 1.5 times that of the original Pakistani shell.]

"Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through the transmission of your understanding, your transmitter has gained some insight and deduced the understanding - Mini Pakistani Bomb."

[Mini-Bakki Round: An improved version of the original Bakki round, further purified and concentrated, then optimized into a portable, small projectile. The size of a pea, with 1.5 times the power of the original Bakki round.]

"Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through the transmission of your understanding, your transmitter has gained some insight and deduced the understanding - Super-Baki Bomb."

[Super Bucky Bomb: An improved version of the mini Bucky Bomb, with more concentrated and fused gunpowder to create a super-powerful shell. It is the size of a normal shell, but its power is 10 times that of the original Bucky Bomb.]

Chapter Thirty: The Straw Hat Crew Sets Sail!

Luffy was shocked when he saw the description of the "Super Buggy Bullet".

A single Pakistani bomb can destroy several streets; ten times the power, it's enough to easily destroy a large city or a small island.

This is practically a nuclear bomb!

However, they are still unable to develop such a powerful weapon at this stage.

These shells require a lot of gunpowder, and the cost of buying gunpowder alone is beyond their current means.

As for the [Modified Bucky Bomb] and the [Mini Bucky Bomb], they could afford to buy a few.

Luffy then planned to have Usopp purchase a batch of materials when they arrived in a large town, so that they could begin developing these two types of shells.

Over the next seven days, Luffy also taught Usopp the [Limit Break Technique] and dual-color Haki, so that he could also begin training.

...

Seven days later.

Xiluobu Village, on the coast.

"Mr. Luffy, this is the enhanced version of the Going Merry that I built for you."

“I carried out comprehensive reinforcement on the original basis, and also expanded it a little.”

"Although the style is a bit old-fashioned, it has been carefully designed by me."

"It is a fast sailing ship with a triangular sail on the stern and a central rudder at the stern."

"I believe it will meet your requirements and will sail on the Grand Line."

Merry excitedly introduced his upgraded Going Merry to Luffy and the others, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

The rest of the crew, including Luffy, were also very excited as they looked at the Going Merry, which was slightly larger and looked more sturdy than the original.

Wow! What a beautiful boat!

"Singing on this ship must be so much fun."

"From today onwards, is this our own pirate ship? It looks pretty good!"

"I will take good care of the ship that Kaya gave us."

While the others were reminiscing, Luffy suddenly leaped onto the ship, his eyes gleaming as he looked down at the group below.

"Everyone, now that we have a pirate ship, we can't forget about the pirate flag."

As he spoke, Luffy waved his right hand, and a flag fluttering in the wind danced in the air, catching everyone's eye.

The flag features a skull wearing a straw hat.

"From this day forward, we are the Straw Hat Pirates!"

The crowd below looked at the fluttering flag, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up.

"Oh! (x4)"

...

"Kaya, everyone, I'm leaving. Take care!"

Usopp waved goodbye to the villagers.

"Go Usopp!"

"Mr. Luffy, thank you."

Kaya softly offered her blessings and thanks to Luffy and the others.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, the Straw Hat Crew officially set sail.

"Yoshi! Captain Usopp is setting sail with his four thousand men!"

Usopp stood on the deck, raising his right hand in a cheer.

"Usopp, do you want to disembark here?"

Luffy's voice drifted over; they had already left the coast, and below lay the vast ocean teeming with ferocious sea creatures.

Usopp broke out in a cold sweat, swallowed hard, and trembled as he spoke.

"First Mate... First Mate Usopp..."

"Ok?"

Halfway through the sentence, Uta's questioning voice rang out.

Usopp trembled even more violently.

"Then... what should I be?"

"Usopp, from now on you will be the sniper on this ship, and all the cannons on the ship will be yours."

Luffy then arranged a suitable position for Usopp.

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately perked up.

"Yosh! Sniper King Usopp, ready!"

...

After the ship sailed into the deep sea, Luffy became interested.

They decided to test Usopp's abilities.

"Usopp, see that rock over there? Sink it."

Luffy sat at the bow of the ship, pointing to a rock in a certain direction.

Usopp glanced at it, then smiled confidently.

"Piece of cake, leave it to me!"

After a brief period of control and adjustment, Usopp aimed at the rock in the distance.

boom!

A cannonball flew out, and Luffy and the others could clearly see its arc as it landed precisely on the rock.

boom!

With a loud cracking sound, the rock instantly shattered into pieces.

"not bad!"

Luffy exclaimed in admiration.

Usopp's sniping talent is indeed top-notch.

Everyone else also sincerely acknowledged Usopp's abilities.

With everyone's praise and recognition, Usopp became energized, crossed his arms, and struck a pose of expert style.

"Hmph! I, Sniper King Usopp, am not just a name without substance."

In the original story, Luffy would probably have exaggeratedly surrounded Usopp and praised him.

However, now that they saw Usopp in this state, everyone else scattered and went about their own business.

"Hey! You guys are really disrespecting me! I'm the Sniper King!"

Usopp became extremely disappointed when he was ignored and went around asking people to praise him, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Who fired that accurate shell just now?"

Suddenly I heard someone ask this question.

Usopp was immediately overjoyed.

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

Looking back, I saw a guy with a knife climbing out of the sea, standing on the deck, soaking wet.

Beside him lay a man who appeared to be on the verge of death.

"So...was it you, you bastard, who hit me?"
