Chapter 6 - Episode 7 & 8
The look on Izuku's face told them all on that Wednesday afternoon.
"Did you just spoiled yourself again?!" Katsuki shouted.
"I'm sorry! I've only read parts that were in the anime... It just happened one of those parts haven't appeared in the anime yet." Izuku tried to defend himself, slumping against his seat. "I've read it up to chapter 14."
"Goddamn it, Deku."
Please happen to be one of the episodes we're watching today. Izuku prayed, sinking deeper into his seat.
After skipping the opening and the recap, they were met with "Epic Showdown! Swordsman Zoro Vs. Acrobat Cabaji!"
"Oh great, another clown?" Katsuki bitterly said.
Buggy made his hand go back to him, shock to see Luffy and the others here. Nami made sure to tell the two that she just wants the map and the treasure.
Boodle coughed, asking why they're here, not wanting their help.
Then Luffy hits him against a wall, causing him to be knocked out cold.
There were "Luffy!" and facepalms everywhere.
"Already?" Jiro sighed.
"Luffy, you shouldn't do that to the elderly!" Iida shouted.
Luffy's reason? Boodle was in the way, which Zoro think is the best course of action since the mayor is willing to die no matter what, though Nami believed otherwise.
Luffy approached Buggy and shouted, "Big Nose!" as to the shock of everyone. Of course, Buggy got angry, ordering for a Buggy Ball.
As there were laughter among the class, Jiro said, "I swear we'll never get not shock by him."
"That was a double negative." Iida pointed out.
Nami ran away as Zoro told the straw hat boy to run away too, but Luffy already has a plan. Just as the Buggy Ball was shot...
"GOMU GOMU NO..." Luffy blew himself up like a balloon as the cannonball hit his gut. "...FUSEN!"
Everyone was in shock at the realization. Then Luffy bounced the cannonball right back at them, causing an explosion.
"I didn't realize Luffy has such lung capacity." Izuku stared, gaping at the technique, writing down in his One Piece notebook.
"Huh, that explosion wasn't as big as the others." Sero pointed out.
"Maybe it has something to do with the-" Momo was interrupted when Denki said, "This is no time for a physic lesson here! We're watching anime."
Nami demanded to be told what Luffy is, though she knows he was weird when he fought Richie.
Buggy came out of the rubble, revealing to have used his minions as a shield.
Mohji suddenly woke up, shocked by the destruction around him, then noticed Luffy. He told Buggy to be careful since Luffy also has Devil Fruits powers too. Luffy demonstrates this by stretching his face, much to Nami's shock.
A man with long, green hair came out of the rubble, holding Richie as a shield too. This is Cabaji.
"Great, more extras." Katsuki glared.
"Wait, he can hold that giant lion with one hand." Denki said, impressed.
Mohji got angry at Cabaji, especially since Cabaji used Richie as a shield. He dropped Richie to the ground, and when Mohji asked him if he's okay, one look from Cabaji have caused the lion to hide behind a broken wall. Mohji tried to attack Cabaji, but with one kick, Mohji was sent flying towards Luffy, who high kicked him into a wall.
As people laughed, Izuku said to himself, "I don't think I could kick that high."
"He's rubber. Of course, he's flexible." Todoroki said.
Buggy allowed Cabaji to do the fighting and show them his 'acrobatic show.'
Cabaji jumped high into the sky, and when he name back down, he had an unicycle and a sword, cycling his way to them, calling himself 'Chief of Staff.'
Zoro was quick to defend Luffy with his own swords, which Cabaji took it as a honor to slay him, then he noticed Zoro's bandaged wound. Luffy told him he should rest, but Zoro wants to deal with this.
"Kyokugi! Kaji Oyaji!" Suddenly, Cabaji blew fire into Zoro's face and kicked him right in his wound.
Everyone winced, especially Todoroki, at the flames as Denki shouted, "Hey, that's not fair!"
"Does he look like a honorable pirate to you?" Jiro said.
Cabaji mocked Zoro's weakness, much to the distain of Nami and Luffy.
"Kyokugi! Yukemuri Satsujin Jiken!" Cabaji planted his sword into the ground at first, then started to spin it quickly, picking up a cloud of dust, which Zoro called out.
From the dust, Cabaji's sword head straight down as before, Cabaji kicked him in the side, sending him rolling onto the ground.
"Fuck you! You're not acting like a real man!" Kirishima shouted, hating the sound of his mockery.
Nami thought it was crazy that Zoro is still fight with that injury, demanding to know why Luffy isn't fighting. All Luffy did was stare intensely.
Cabaji charged after Zoro with his swords out as Zoro stood up. At that moment, Cabaji stabbed Zoro's injury, much to everyone's shock.
As everyone cringed horribly, Iida shouted, "Why didn't you dodge!?"
Nami felt the same way, wondering why he didn't dodge.
Zoro's reason? To show the difference in level between him and Cabaji.
"T-That's so cool/reckless!" Kirishima and Iida shouted at the same time.
"Goddamn it, don't be so cocky." Aizawa sighed.
Zoro's aim is to be the world's greatest, meaning he can't let someone like Cabaji to defeat him. Though he know Zoro has a strong resolve, Cabaji was confident enough to think he could take him down.
As Luffy cheered him on, Nami decided to leave so she could steal their treasure, but did agree to Luffy that if they meet again, they should team up. Then she left.
As Mineta whined about Nami leaving, Denki said to him, "Dude, do you only watch anime for the girls?"
There were three orange, spinning tops in Cabaji's hand, much to Zoro's confusion.
"Kyokugi! Kamikaze Hyakkoma Gekijo!" A burgeon of spinning tops came out in swarms, heading towards Zoro.
With Nami, as she head towards the treasure, she said that Zoro and Luffy aren't normal, knowing nothing good will come from hanging around them.
"Goddamn it, Redhead! We were going to see the good part!" Katsuki shouted at her.
Away from preying eyes, Nami have found a cellar. Passing the unconscious guy, Nami used a stick to break a lock.
Now back to the fight, Zoro were able to slice the spinning tops in great succession.
"Kyokugi! Yama Noboro!" Cabaji rides his unicycle straight up a wall and send himself into the sky. "Kyokugi! Noryo Uchiage Hanabi!" Rapidly descending down, Cabaji positioned his sword down. "Ichirin Zashi!"
"Chi o Hau Bara Bara Hou!" Buggy sent his hand towards Zoro, telling Cabaji he'll hold Zoro down.
"How many attack names do you need!?" Katsuki shouted in frustration over the many "Oh no!" from the other students.
Zoro seemed to be overwhelmed by the attacks, but just in time, Luffy stepped on Buggy's disembodied hand and Zoro dodged Cabaji's stab. With a big smile, Luffy told Buggy to stay out of Zoro's fight.
After the eye catches, Nami light up a lantern, revealing the treasure she has found.
"Look at all that gold!" Ochako's eyes seemed to almost bulge out of her head.
"Think of all the things you can buy with that." Mina said.
Nami was impressed with the treasure she has found, trying on a crown from the pile, but a pirate has found her, though he was drunk.
Nami used this to her advantage. Pretending to be in pain, she said her chest hurts, which gives the pirate a view of Nami's cleavage.
"Yes!" Mineta and Denki happily shouted at the minor fan service as most of the boys blushed in embarrassment.
Of course, the drunk pirate was distracted by this, which allowed Nami to build her staff and hit him on the head with it.
Once he was knocked out, Nami noticed the set of keys around his neck, which allowed her to unlock the chest to the map of the Grand Line.
Back to the fight, Cabaji claimed he doesn't need his captain's help as Zoro heavily panted, tired. Cabaji thought he meant Zoro's been defeated, but in actuality, Zoro is just tired of his 'acrobatics,' and since Zoro is sick of them, Cabaji decided to use his real sword skills. Using his unicycle, Cabaji charged his sword at Zoro, but...
"Oni... Giri!" Zoro seemed to faze through Cabaji, and blood came out of the acrobat. Much to Buggy's horror, long scars decorated Cabaji's torso as he fell to the ground, calling them thieves.
"God, finally!" Katsuki cheered with a wicked smile, but Todoroki pointed out something.
"Oni... Giri... Onigiri."
There were a few snickers popping up from the audience.
"Oh my god, that was a pun." Tokoyami said in disbelief.
Zoro collapsed to the ground, saying they are pirates and now he has to go to sleep, leaving Luffy with the rest.
Nami was trying to drag a bag of treasure out of here, happy with the amount, but then there were chimes as it zoomed in on her frown.
"What's her deal?" Katsuki said, especially when Nami reminded herself to leave the island, but she looked back.
"I think she's using the money for something important." Ochako said as Izuku tried to keep his mouth shut.
"Or maybe she feels actually guilty about leaving them behind." Jiro said.
With everyone down, Buggy was shock that Luffy is a pirate, especially since Luffy seemed like a dimwit to him, though he certainly got angry when Luffy claimed he wants to become King of the Pirates since Buggy wants to be Pirate King himself and obtain the world's treasure.
As Luffy got into a fighting stance and Buggy brought out his knives, Buggy said that Luffy's straw hat brings him memories of him; memories of 'that damn cheeky red-haired man.'
"...No." Katsuki gaped at the clown. "Really?! Of all people in the world!?"
Luffy was surprised at the description and asked if he knows Shanks.
Buggy claimed yes, but asked why. Luffy wanted to know where Shanks is, but Buggy wouldn't tell him the details. Then Luffy calls him an idiot, which of course, Buggy got angry about.
Since he won't tell him anything, Luffy will beat it out of him, but not if Buggy kills him first, kicking his feet to reveal a blade from his shoe. Buggy doubted rubber can bounce off blades, which Luffy claimed to be correct.
"Wait, what about the first episode?" Denki asked, confused.
"I guess it was an error." Iida said.
"Yeah, it went differently from the second chapter, which the first episode is based on." Izuku explained. "Actually, that scene wasn't even in the manga."
"Ugh, why do they have to make changes in adaptations?" Mina sighed.
It should be noted that Nami noticed the battle between the two.
"Bara Bara Senbei!" Buggy threw this lower half at Luffy, but the straw hat boy jumped in the air.
Buggy pointed out that Luffy can't move in the air, throwing his knives at him, but Luffy stretched his arm onto a wooden pole, pulling himself towards it just in time for the knives to miss him.
Buggy's legs went back to him, saying Luffy is quite interesting, which Luffy feels the same about Buggy.
"Straw Hat, don't compliment the enemy. He isn't even that impressive." Katsuki sighed, leaning against his elbow.
"GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!" Luffy launched his fist at him, but Buggy dodged it and planned to chop him.
"GOMU GOMU NO..."
"Bara Bara Kinkyu Dasshutsu!" Seeing Luffy after him, Buggy separated his head from his body before Luffy swung his arm at him.
"KAMA!"
"I'll have to rewatch these episodes a few more times." Izuku said, trying to write as fast as he could in his One Piece notebook.
Buggy laughed as Luffy landed on the rubble while Nami was kind of amazed bu their battle. Meanwhile, it was revealed that minions were only pretending to be knocked out, but they were too afraid to help.
"Cowards!" Mina shouted as students laughed.
"Bara Bara Ho!" Buggy launched a fist with knives between the fingers at Luffy, but he was able to catch in time. "Kirihanashi!" His fist ran passed Luffy's head, causing him to fall into wood and rocks.
Buggy laughed at first, but noticed Luffy picking up his straw hat, revealing it has been cut, and the serious look in Luffy's face.
"Well, you fucked up." Katsuki grinned wickedly.
Buggy thought he was mad about the scratches on his head, but in actuality, it was the straw hat Luffy's angry about, which Buggy didn't understood.
Nami remembers what he have said before about the straw hat, realizing his important it actually is to him.
Realizing the straw hat is so important to Luffy, Buggy decided to be cruel.
Luffy dodged a knife thrown by his disembodied hand, but that left his hat out in the open. The remaining three stabbed into his hat, leaving big gashes in them as a flashback of Luffy and Shanks appeared.
"No! You bastard!" Kirishima shouted as other students yelled out curses to the clown.
Attaching his hand back on, Buggy is confused on why the straw hat is 'treasure' to Luffy since all he believe in is gold and jewels, laughing at him. Luffy angrily told him that's Shanks's hat, which Buggy is shock by, claiming he has always wore it.
Now it was Luffy's turn to be shock, realizing they were shipmates, as Buggy confessed that they were back then when they were pirates-in-training.
"Wait, you can train to be a pirate?" Denki said, confused.
"Yeah, I feel like that's something you just do... because." Mina slightly tilted her head, trying to think. "I mean, I doubt you would need a school for villains."
"Well, we all have to start from somewhere." Toshinori shrugged.
Though they were comrades, Buggy hated Shanks as he crushed Luffy's hat under his foot, causing Luffy to be angry once more. Luffy charged after him, declaring Shanks as a great man.
"Bara Bara Kinkyu Dasshutsu!" Buggy tried to escape, but Luffy aimed for his gut instead.
"Yeah, you tell him!" Kirishima shouted as Luffy never wants Buggy to say they were friends again.
Reattaching his head back to his body, Buggy won't listen. As he stretch out Buggy's face, Luffy demanded what happened between the two, and before Buggy could tell the tale of Shanks, the man who he'll never forgive, "To Be Continued" appeared.
"Goddamn it!" chorused many students and Hizashi.
"Right at the good part." Toshinori sighed.
"Really?" Aizawa and Katsuki said.
After skipping the opening and the recap, they were presented with "Who is the Victor? Devil Fruit Power Showdown!"
Buggy's tale about the man he hates started with an argument of which pole is colder. North or south? But they were soon quieted down by a man in sunglasses, who bonked their heads as everyone else laughed at them.
"Really?" Many students sweatdropped, through Denki did ask, "Wait, which one is the coldest?"
"South Pole, so Shanks is right." Todoroki answered.
"Wait, why do you kn-"
"Moving on."
Laughter stopped when a person announced there was an enemy ship. Even in the past, Buggy cared about treasure more compared to everyone else.
As their crew fight off their enemies, Buggy discovered a treasure map, and planned to get it from the bottom of the ocean.
Later that night as Buggy looked at the map alone, Shanks found him, wondering why he isn't partying with them. At first, Buggy panicked, but soon started to chat about how Shanks is leaving the ship someday, wondering what he's going to do. Shanks simply wanted his own ship, a reliable crew, and to see the world, though Buggy thought that stuff is weak. Buggy admitted to admiring Shanks's fighting skills, but he wished that he wasn't so soft. Since they think differently, Shanks thought they should go in their own direction; something that pirates do. Buggy believed that if they meet again, it'll be a fight to the death, which Shanks even admitted that was another thing Pirates will do. Buggy just doesn't understand him.
"This is honestly... nice." Izuku said, kind of fascinated with how laidback and accepting Shanks is with all of this.
"Alright, how is this ruined?" Jiro slumped in her seat.
Buggy asked about the loot they got, and Shanks said they found a Devil Fruit. Since Buggy doesn't know what they are, Shanks explained they're incarnations of the sea devil, where they give you a power but take away your ability to swim away. Buggy thought it was stupid to eat one, knowing he can't swim to his treasure if he did, but then Shanks mentioned it's worth 100 million Beris. Of course, Buggy was shock by that.
"There it is." Jiro slightly smirked while Ochako seemed to be slightly panicking over the fruit's worth.
In the morning, in front of everyone, Buggy ate the fruit, but nothing happened to him.
At night, it was actually a trick, revealing he ate a fake. Hiding in a small boat, Buggy planned to sell the real Devil Fruit and get the treasure from the map, and have hopes for his own crew.
Then he was so surprised by Shanks's sudden appearance that he stuffed the whole Devil Fruit into his mouth. Shanks was asking why he was grinning while Buggy was relieved it was just him. Shanks walked off, telling him not to steal food from the kitchen.
At first, Buggy calmed down, but then became so surprised by Shanks again that he swallowed the Devil Fruit whole.
There was a round of facepalms as Katski shouted, "You basically ate a pineapple whole! How can you even do that!?"
In Buggy's anger at Shanks, his map fell into the ocean. When he tried to jump into the water for it, he realized he can't swim.
At first, Shanks was confuse by this since Buggy was a great swimmer, but soon realized something was wrong and swam in to save him.
Back to the present day, Buggy sieved with anger while Luffy claimed that Shanks saved him, but Buggy refused the notation, saying his plans were delayed for many years and he learned to get treasure on land.
"But... he still saved you." Denki simply said.
"Yeah, don't get angry at him for saving you. At least you have a chance to get it before someone else could." Sero added.
Choking sounds can be heard as Kirishima quickly gave Katsuki some soda.
"Stupid chocolate bar." Katsuki panted.
Using his powers, Buggy planned to let no one to touch his treasure, and it just so happened that he saw Nami with his treasure.
As Buggy's upper half fly after Nami, and the redhead ran away from him, Luffy noticed the lower half. Suddenly stopping in midair, Buggy had an extremely pained expression on his face. Soon, it was revealed Luffy kicked him in the crotch.
As Katsuki's laughter ran throughout the air, the other guys visibly cringed at the sight.
"Oh god, they're cracking." Mineta squeaked, turning away.
Buggy fell to the ground in pain as Luffy claimed he's dealing with him.
In some camp area, people noticed the mayor have been gone for a long time and decided to they all should check on him.
After the eyecatches, Luffy told Nami to leave the treasure behind and get out of here, but Nami refused to part with the treasure. Buggy got angry as Nami confessed to being a thief who steals from pirates and since she stolen the treasure from Buggy, that means it's her's.
"Is... Is that how thieves usually think?" A slight chuckle came from Momo.
Apparently, Luffy understood that, but not Buggy. He find that to be nonsense, wondering what kind of upbringing she had while Nami thought it was ridiculous that a criminal is lecturing a criminal.
"I-I mean, they're both correct... in a way?" Iida stammered, conflict lacing his voice.
As a consequence, Buggy decided to teach Nami a lesson.
"Bara Bara... Festival!" Buggy's body separated into many smaller parts, scattering them around the area, but Luffy noticed his feet were walking around.
As his parts blocked Nami's exits and Buggy tried to attack her, Luffy took Buggy's disembodied foot out of its show, doing things to distract him like tickling, pinching, and finally slamming them into the ground.
People winced at the foot punishment while Mineta quietly muttered, "Well, I guess you have to service that crowd in some way."
Just as Buggy was distracted, Nami hit him with the bag of treasure, but Buggy held on. As the two have a tug of war, Luffy charges after him, and before Buggy could stab Nami, Luffy kicked Buggy into the bag, causing treasure to spill out. Buggy's face skid across the ground.
With Buggy knocked, Luffy claimed that's for the mayor as Nami owe him one. Just when the battle might have been over, Buggy regained consciousness as Nami ran away.
"Come on, Nami. Don't do this!" Ochako cried out.
"Assemble! Bara Bara Parts!" Though when Buggy did reassembled, he was just a short guy.
After a long pause, it was revealed that Nami had already tied up his limbs.
As students laughed, Ochako exclaimed, "Oh good, she didn't betray him."
Luffy laughed, stretching his arms back.
"GOMU GOMU NO... BAZOOKA!" Launching his arms at Buggy, Luggy sent him into the sky.
Buggy's minions were worried about his, but decided to still act unconscious.
Luffy solemnly picked up his straw hat, but decided to go along with it, happy he can still wear it even with it torn. Nami remembered Luffy's anger and said she could fix it.
"Nami, you do have a heart!" Kirishima smiled.
Nami decided to split the treasure into two bags, saying it's easier to carry this way, happy for 10 million Beris. Nami decided to give Luffy the map, which he took it as a sign that she wants to join his crew. Still, Nami refused, but she os okay with staying with them when it's profitable as a temporary teammate, which Luffy accepted.
Luffy patted Zoro's head to wake him up as the swordsman asked if everything is over. Luffy told him about the chart and the navigator as Zoro gave Nami a look, though claimed he could barely move.
Then Nami reminded them they should help the mayor, but they were soon discovered by the citizens, who asked them questions about what happened. At first, Nami was relieved until the citizens noticed the mayor, and Luffy admitted to knocking him out.
There was another round of facepalms through the audience.
"Anymore of these and we might turn red." Jiro sighed.
"I'm glad for your honesty, but... this is not the right time to say that." Iida slowly shook his head.
To add fuel to the fire, Luffy also admitted they're pirates.
Smack!
"Okay, we need to learn to stop doing that." Aizawa said as Hizashi tried to check his face with his phone.
Even though the citizens were furious, Zoro let out a hearty laugh, and since there isn't much of an option, the three ran away. Even though they were being chased, Luffy thought of this place as a good town since they care so much for the mayor, recognizing they'll be mad at them no matter what.
Kirishima scratched the back of his head. "He... isn't wrong."
They suddenly turned a corner, much to Nami's surprise, and had to jump over a bandaged up Chouchou. When the citizens approached, Chouchou barked and guarded the alleyway, despite the people's protests. Luffy smiled and it seemed like like Chouchou smiled back.
"Good dog! Good dog!" Toru cheered with her fellow students as Koda clapped for joy.
At the piers, the three were able to escape and Luffy noticed the boat Nami has, which she admitted to stealing it from pirates. Then the pirates Nami stolen from tried to ambush her, but upon discovering Zoro was with them, they were scared shitless.
Back with Boodle and the people of the town, the mayor regained consciousness, discovering what happened to his town. Then he asked for the 'young'uns.' When he learned they're still alive, Boodle scolded them for harming him, though when the people told him that they drove them off, the mayor was furious at them, saying he should be the only on badmouthing them, not the citizens.
Taking off his armor, Boodle head for the port, and once he was able to see them off, he was glad to say that he and his town are in their debt.
As the three sailed away, Boodle cried, cursing them the same. Then he noticed a bag.
Ochako let out a gasp. "Did Nami leave the treasure for them?" She was disappointed when that was not the case.
Nami was angry at Luffy for giving away half her treasure for the town. Although it was for a good cause, Nami attempted to drown him as Zoro laughed, glad to have a navigator.
Before it ended, it lasted on a shot of a shadowed guy with a long nose.
"To Be Continued."
"...Please tell me that's filler." Katsuki said, sounding rather hopeful for the moment.
"No." Aizawa didn't even look at the sticky note.
Katsuki let out a disappointed groan.
Chapter 7 - Episode 9
After skipping the opening, there wasn't a title card, but instead there was a lovely scene of the sun rising as it shined upon a little village, birds chirping.
"Well, this seems to be nice." Toshinori complemented, though the peacefulness was ruined with-
"Terrible news, everyone! Pirates are attacking!"
Running throughout the town was this lanky-looking guy with a long nose as his most notable feature. He screamed about pirates, warning everyone of their arrival.
Then the title card finally came up; "The Honorable Liar? Captain Usopp!"
"I'm guessing Long Nose here is our 'honorable liar?'" Hizashi smirked.
"Please don't tell me he joins the crew." Katsuki complained.
"So, wait, is the town not getting attacked by pirates?" Toru asked. "If it's not, then that's a relief."
Out at sea, Nami warned Luffy and Zoro that they shouldn't head for the Grand Line now. Luffy agreed, saying they should have meat while Zoro wanted booze.
"You need a more balanced meal than that!" Iida informed them, though there's no way for the characters to hear him.
Nami told them that they need powerful ships and equipments if they want more members, which Luffy added he wants a cook and a musician. Zoro laughed at the mention of a musician.
"Hey, don't come to me when you're bored." Hizashi complained, kind of playfully, while Jiro slightly narrowed her eyes.
Nami claimed there was an island with people on it just a little to the south of them, hoping they could get a real boat there, though Luffy and Zoro just wanted meat and booze.
Back to the little village, the long nosed guy continued to scream about pirates until he was exhausted, but then he happily revealed that was all a lie! A pan was thrown at him.
"Oh thank god." Katsuki sighed in relief as everyone looked on.
Apparently, this kid is so infamous that he's wanted by the whole town, and he just relishes in it, running away from the entire town.
"Is he a masochist?" Mineta stared, dumbfounded by the guy.
"I... I can't tell." Denki said.
Hiding in the trees, he was glad for what apparently he considers as a job; bringing excitement to this village. Then he noticed these veggie themed kids, who called him 'Captain Usopp,' and they're part of the Usopp Pirates.
"Who names their kids after vegetables?" Aizawa said when Usopp introduced the kids as 'Pepper' and 'Carrot.'
"Well, the Usopp Pirates isn't a very creative name itself, so I'm guessing that's something the whole town shares." Hizashi chuckled.
"Well, it kind of looks like they're just pretending to be pirates." Toshinori shrugged. "Don't act like you've never pretended as a kid." His gaze turned to the students, causing quite a few to blush a shade of red, especially Izuku.
Just as Usopp ask about Onion, a kid with an onion-shaped head came running towards them, telling them news of pirates coming at the north shore.
At first, they didn't believe Onion, but upon saying it's the truth, Usopp ran away, saying that it's time for a snack and lying that he has "I'll-Die-if-I-Don't-Eat-My-Snacks-iosis."
"That's not how you use -iosis." Iida sighed.
"Welp, tell me when this is over." Katsuki attempted to take a nap on the couch, but suddenly a pillow was thrown at him. "Okay, who did that?!"
"No, you must watch." Surprisingly enough, it was from Aoyama.
The kids have called him out on it for not being a pirate. It doesn't help that one of the boats have the mark of Buggy the Clown.
Before Usopp ran away, Onion mentioned there were only two small boats and three people, which instantly gave him the courage to protect the village.
"You should be thankful that's it's just Luffy and the others because Luffy's a saint compared to Red Nose." Katsuki grumbled.
"You're not going to be like this the entire arc, right?" Kirishima sighed.
"He's obviously going to." Mina shrugged.
On dry land, Luffy and his friends planned on going to the village, but Zoro sensed people, which Luffy got excited about.
Suddenly, Zoro told Luffy to watch out as Luffy suddenly dodged something attacking at his feet. Nami ran for the boats as flags came out of the bushes. Luffy was very impressed by this, much to Nami's disgruntle.
Laughing, Usopp came out presenting himself as a great pirate who rule over the village with people praising him. In fact, he has 80 million loyal subordinates.
Hizashi let out a laugh. "Oh my god, if that isn't little kid stuff, then I don't know what is."
Luffy was impressed, but not Nami and Zoro. When Nami knows Usopp is lying, the 'captain' panicked, admitting to it, much to Luffy's shock.
Usopp passed the '80 million' part off as an exaggeration-
"Really? I didn't notice."
-but he still have great men by his side, who were just the three kids. Once Nami saw through that as well, the kids panicked and ran away, much to Usopp's horror.
Nami has never heard of pirates using slingshots, picking up one of the little orbs in the ground. Though he laughed, Luffy thought Usopp's neat.
"Don't encourage him, Straw Hat." Katsuki growled.
Usopp took that as an insult and was about to attack Luffy with his slingshot, but...
"Now that you've drawn your pistol, put your life on the line."
Most of the students smiled ay his words, hearing the similarities to Shanks.
Those words did have an effect on Usopp, shaking as Luffy continued with Zoro by his side.
After the eyecatches, flags fell as Usopp stood there, unable to decide his choice until... he let go, but he didn't shoot, admitting defeat since he was so imitated by their words.
Luffy and Zoro looked at each other and laughed. Luffy admitted he just stolen those lines from Shanks. Usopp was shock that he knew the great pirate Shanks, and Luffy asked if his dad's name is Yasopp.
"Huh, uncreative names run in the family." Iida said.
"...You do realize that your name is Ten-ya and your brother's name is Ten-sei, right?" Todoroki asked rather flatly.
"There's a difference between that and just being uncreative." Katsuki surprisingly defended.
"Are you saying that because your mom's name is Mitsuki, Kacchan?" Izuku asked.
"I'll kill you if you're saying my parents aren't creative, Deku."
"I-I'm not!"
Usopp was so shock by the mention of his father that he fell off the cliff, but still, he asked how Luffy knew.
At a little restaurant called 'Meshi,' the four of them were having a meal as Luffy explained that Yasopp is in Shanks's crew, much to Usopp's amazement. Luffy told him that his dad was a good sharpshooter.
Two memories came up; one of Yasopp shooting an apple from far away, and the other of Yasopp telling young Luffy about his kid, Usopp, though the pirate life was calling him, then he shoved a beer glass over Luffy's head.
"He was in episode 4. Ribbit." Tsuyu remembered.
"Oh god, it was planned." Katsuki groaned.
"It's probably best that he didn't raise Usopp if that's how he treat kids." Shoji said.
Even though Usopp's father abandoned him, Usopp was proud of his dad choosing the life at sea.
"Really?" Visible confusion was on Todoroki's face. "He doesn't resent his father for that?"
"I guess he must be happy that his father is living his life." Kirishima shrugged.
"But why would he have a kid and a wife, then leave them behind?"
No one could answer such a difficult answer, not even the teachers.
Nami asked if Usopp knew anyone who could sail and provide them a big ship, but Usopp pointed out this is just a small village. Then Zoro mentioned a huge mansion on top of a hill. Nami ask if they could pay for their ship, but Usopp demanded they don't go there.
As quick as possible, Usopp left, saying he have a lot of influence around here, leaving Nami to wonder why he was in such a rush.
In the elegant mansion, there was a blond girl in bed and a butler scolding her for wanting to talk to Usopp, especially at her weakened state. Though he scolded Kaya, he did it because he wanted to protect her as her late parents instructed him to do.
Over Momo's sympathetic comment of "Poor girl...", Mineta shouted, "Long Nose has a girlfriend!?"
"Or they could be just friends." Jiro suggested.
"Would Usopp's lies really hurt her?" Denki asked.
"Unless they give her a lot of stress, which by Kaya's reaction, is a no." Izuku said.
"...But he's just being a little worried for her safety." Iida nodded.
As the butler left her room, Usopp was able to sneak through the hedge and visit her, sitting on a branch by her window. Opening her window, Kaya was so happy to see him, apologizing that she can't make him into a real guest since her butler, Klahadore, won't allow it. Usopp wasn't angry though, calling himself a brave warrior of the sea.
The two enjoyed their day as Usopp told her of a tale of when he fought a giant gold fish at the South Pole when he was five.
"It doesn't look like he's doing any harm. Ribbit." Tsuyu said as Iida blinked at the scene in front of him.
Back to the village, the three vegetable kids were sneaking around Meshi, trying to save Usopp. Though they believe the pirates have already grilled and eaten him, one of them corrected that it was old hags who eat people.
When they finally 'attack,' they demanded where Usopp is. Hearing Luffy say about good meat already caused the kids' minds to overdrive as Nami let out a little snicker. Since the Usopp Pirates wondered what they do to their captain, Zoro gave them a smile that would send anyone running for the hills and told them that they ate him.
There was some laughs in the audience, especially when the kids turned to Nami and called her an 'old hag.'
Outside of the mansion, the kids understood that was a joke, taking them where Usopp is. When Luffy ask why Usopp comes here, Carrot bluntly said it was to lie.
"Huh, not pulling any punches?" Sero laughed.
Nami thought it was a bad thing to do, but the kids defended that it was for a good cause. They explained that Kaya is weak and has depression ever since her parents died from an illness a year ago, so their captain tells her his special stories to make her laugh.
"Hm... So he lies for the better good." Aoyama stared, a smile contented on his face as usual, as he listen to the kids' admiration for Usopp's seemingly bad traits.
Luffy suddenly claimed they should ask Kaya for a ship after all, but the problem is, for the kids, that they have strong guards at the gate.
That's not going to be a problem because Luffy already stated to climb the fence.
"GOMU GOMU NO..." Reaching the top, Luffy stretches his arm, much to the kids' horror.
"Oh yeah, quirks aren't a normal thing here." Toru said.
"...Pardon..." Nami, Zoro, and the kids grabbed onto him to stop Luffy from going any further. "...the Intrusion!" Like that, Luffy let go and send all of them flying into the sky.
Usopp's tale was interrupted when Kaya pointed out Luffy and the others in the sky, who crashed into the ground.
Kaya asked who are they while Usopp tried to pass them off as new recruits, but Luffy said he wanted to ask a favor.
"Are you really going to ask a favor to someone you just met?" Iida shook his head.
Luffy asked for a big ship, but Klahadore already came along, saying he doesn't appreciate them breaking in.
"I mean... he's not wrong." Todoroki said. "I would be upset too if someone broke into my property, then start asking for free things."
As a closing scene, into the small village, there was a strange man moonwalking before he turned at the sound of the guitar rift.
"To Be Continued."
"...Why does he look familiar?" Hizashi and Jiro whispered at the same time, squinting their eyes.
"One episode in and I can already tell I'm going to hate this arc." Katsuki complained.
"You should give it a chance." Aoyama said to the ashy blond.
"Why the hell are you defending Long Nose of all people? I thought you're all about sparkles and shit."
"I just want you to give it a chance." Aoyama continued on smiling, even as their homeroom teacher took out the DVD.
