## One Piece Chapter 438, pages 11-13: Pride - Chapter: 438 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Usopp, Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Nico Robin, Tony Tony Chopper, Franky, Nami, Monkey D. Garp, Zoro ### Summary Page 11: The Marine ship advances at full speed, preparing to smash the Sunny with cannonballs. Sanji grimaces, wondering whether Usopp is really not coming. Then Chopper and Robin see him: "USOPP IS HERE!" and "HE'S HERE!!!" Usopp appears on the broken staircase, panting and confused. He asks why the ship has already set sail, saying he totally thought they were waiting. From the ship, the crew can hear him. Usopp calls, "HEEEY, GUYS, USOPP'S HERE!! I'M STILL HERE!!" But the path is broken and the ship is pulling away. The question is no longer whether he came; it is whether he will say the words he needs to say. Page 12: Usopp tries to return under the Sogeking mask of pride. "WHAT'S GOING ON!? EVEN AFTER OUR QUARREL, WE FOUGHT TOGETHER. I'M THE SOGEKING!!" he shouts. He asks whether they gave up on him because he disappeared and calls, "HEY, GUYS... DON'T WORRY!! I'M BACK HERE!!" Garp keeps laughing and throws more cannonballs: "HERE YOU GO, MORE, MORE!!" The ship is under attack, and Sanji, Zoro, Franky, and the others move to protect it. Usopp keeps calling, "USOPP'S HERE, LUFFY!!" but his words still circle around apology without landing on it. Page 13: Usopp keeps performing versions of the return he imagined. He shouts, "HEEE-EEEEY!! REJOICE!!! IT'S ME!!!" and says he knows what is going on: they are crying from happiness. He promises not to mind being vice captain when he returns and tells them not to be surprised by the good news he has for them. Meanwhile, cannonballs rain down, and the crew realizes they are about to get more of them. Then Usopp's voice shifts: "I CAN'T... COPE WITH YOU GUYS ANYMORE. SORRY FOR CAUSING TROUBLE UNTIL THE VERY END." His joke finally cracks into the truth.
