## One Piece Chapter 23, pages 9-10: CAPTAIN USOPP ENTERS - Chapter: 23 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Usopp, Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi ### Summary Page 9: Tamanegi frantically reports, "IT'S TRUE! I JUST SAW IT! THE SHIP HAS A SKULL FLAG, AND HAS COME DOWN TO THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE SHORE!" Usopp points at him and says, "YOU'RE LYING!" but Tamanegi insists, "IT'S TRUE!" Tamanegi continues, "AND THE SYMBOL ON THE FLAG IS OF BUGGY'S PIRATE FLEET!" A small vision of Buggy's ship with its skull and crossbones flag appears behind him. Usopp looks shocked, exclaiming, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Tamanegi cries, "IT'S TRUE! WE'RE DEAD!" Usopp immediately turns and sprints away, declaring, "ALAS! TIME FOR SNACKS!" The three boys yell after him, "DON'T RUN AWAY!" Usopp stops, clutching his stomach and sweating, making an excuse: "ACTUALLY, I HAVE THIS DISEASE THAT WILL KILL ME IF I DON'T EAT SNACKS..." The boys angrily shout back, "YOU'RE LYING!" Page 10: Ninjin and Piiman yell at Usopp, "CAPTAIN, AREN'T YOU ALWAYS SAYING YOU WANT TO BE A REAL PIRATE!? HOW CAN A PIRATE BE AFRAID OF OTHER PIRATES!?" Usopp turns back, sweating, and rationalizes, "THAT'S RIGHT! AND THERE ARE ONLY THREE OF THEM..." Tamanegi asks, "WHAT? THREE...?" Usopp adds, "IT'S JUST TWO SMALL BOATS!" Usopp then strikes a confident pose, raising his fist high with a loud "DO--N!!" sound effect. He declares, "OKAY! USOPP'S PIRATE, LET'S MOVE! LET'S FIGHT FOR THE VILLAGE AND PEACE!" He starts running off, shouting, "LET'S GO! FOLLOW ME!" The three boys initially stare in silence with a "..." bubble, but then they cheer enthusiastically, raising their fists and yelling, "YES!!" and "YES CAPTAIN!!"
