## One Piece Chapter 41, pages 11-12: TO THE SEA - Chapter: 41 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Kaya, Usopp, Merry ### Summary Page 11: Usopp flashes a wide, confident grin at Kaya. "NEXT TIME I COME TO THIS VILLAGE, I'LL TELL YOU ADVENTURE STORIES THAT ARE MORE UNBELIEVABLE THAN LIES," he promises. Kaya smiles warmly, her eyes closed in appreciation. "THANK YOU. I LOOK FORWARD TO IT," she replies. Usopp then turns his attention to Luffy and Zoro, who are already standing on the deck of the Going Merry. He waves to them, "WELL, SAFE VOYAGE GUYS! HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEWHERE!" Luffy looks down at him, confused, and asks, "WHY?" Usopp is taken aback by the question. "HUH, WHY?" he repeats, then sighs, "SHEESH... YOU'RE SUCH A COLD HEARTED MAN... WE'RE BOTH GOING TO BE PIRATES NOW, SO WE MIGHT MEET AGAIN ON THE HIGH SEAS..." Zoro leans over the railing, looking exasperated. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT... HURRY UP AND GET ON BOARD!" he shouts. Usopp's eyes widen in utter shock. "WHAT?" he exclaims, completely surprised by the invitation. Page 12: Luffy leans casually on the wooden railing of the Going Merry, resting his chin on his arms. He looks down at Usopp with a simple, friendly smile and says, "YOU'RE ALREADY OUR COMPANION, AREN'T YOU...?" Usopp stands on the shore, completely stunned. His eyes are wide dots, and a bead of sweat rolls down his face as he processes Luffy's words. He stammers, "WHA...." Suddenly, Usopp's shock transforms into overwhelming excitement. He points a thumb at his own chest, a huge grin spreading across his face, and yells up at the ship, "I... I'M THE CAPTAIN RIGHT!?" From the deck, Luffy immediately yells back, his mouth wide open in protest, "NO WAY! I'M THE CAPTAIN!!" The Going Merry is fully visible in the background, its sail unfurled and ready to depart, as Merry and Kaya watch the comedic exchange from the shore.
