## One Piece Chapter 23, pages 14-15: CAPTAIN USOPP ENTERS - Chapter: 23 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Usopp, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami ### Summary Page 14: A wide shot shows Usopp standing high on the cliff, looking down at Luffy, Zoro, and Nami on the beach. Usopp continues his boast, "IT'S BEST IF YOU DON'T TRY TO ATTACK THIS VILLAGE, BECAUSE MY 80 MILLION MEN ARE NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU!" with a "Do--n" sound effect. Nami looks up at him calmly and says, "YOU'RE LYING RIGHT?" Usopp instantly breaks character, grabbing his head in a panicked, comical overreaction, screaming, "WAA! I'VE BEEN CAUGHT!" An arrow points to him with the text "BULL'S EYE!". Nami sweatdrops and points out, "SEE, YOU EVEN SAID IT YOURSELF!" Usopp continues to freak out, thinking, "ARGHH!! DID I JUST SAY THAT? BAD PLANNING! BAD PLANNING INDEED!" with another "BULL'S EYE!" arrow pointing at him. In the bottom panel, Luffy laughs uproariously, holding his stomach, "HAHAHAHA! YOU'RE SO FUNNY!" Usopp, looking annoyed and sweating, yells back, "HEY! DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME! I AM A MAN WITH HIGH SELF-ESTEEM! AND EVERYONE CALLS ME THE 'HONORABLE USOPP'!" Page 15: The scene shifts to the village. An exterior shot shows a building with a sign reading "MESHI" (Food). A caption box notes, "A SMALL TAVERN IN THE VILLAGE." Chatter sound effects surround the building. Inside, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Luffy are seated around a table filled with food and drinks. Zoro is drinking from a glass, Nami is holding a cup, and Luffy is happily stuffing a massive piece of meat on a bone into his mouth. Usopp asks, "SO, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR COMPANIONS AND A BIG SHIP?" Luffy, with his mouth full, replies, "YUP!" Usopp smiles, "OH! SOUNDS LIKE A BIG ADVENTURE!" Nami looks surprised and asks, "WHAT? LOOKING FOR COMPANIONS?" In the next panel, Usopp leans in, telling Luffy, "THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE STUFF YOU WANT IN THIS VILLAGE... ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT A VERY BIG SHIP, BUT IT'S NOT THAT SMALL EITHER". Nami asks, "WHERE?" Usopp's expression turns serious as he explains, "THERE'S A MANSION NOT FAR FROM THIS VILLAGE THAT BELONGS TO A WEALTHY FAMILY. THE SHIP BELONGS TO THE MANSION'S OWNER".
