Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami ### Summary Page 10: The villagers continue their morning routines, noticing Usopp's absence. A woman sweeping outside tells her husband, "DEAR, IT'S TIME FOR WORK". He replies, "REALLY? USOPP HASN'T COME RUNNING THROUGH YET". A little girl asks her mother, "MOMMY, IS THE BIG LIAR NOT COMING TODAY?". A man brushing his teeth grumbles, "IS THAT LYING BRAT NOT HERE YET!? WERE WE A LITTLE TOO HARSH ON HIM YESTERDAY...?". His wife reassures him, "OH, I'M SURE HE'LL COME TOMORROW". Meanwhile, the Usopp Pirates are getting scolded by their mothers. Piiman's mom yells, "PIIMAN! HOW COULD YOU GET YOUR CLOTHES DIRTY SO EARLY IN THE MORNING?! GO WASH UP!!". Ninjin holds the frying pan while his mom asks, "NINJIN, HAVE YOU SEEN THE FRYING PAN? I CAN'T MAKE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITHOUT IT..." and he awkwardly admits he left the eggs uncooked. Tamanegi apologizes to his mom, "I'M SO SORRY, MOM!", after she asks if he broke his glasses again. The page ends with a close-up of Usopp smiling brightly, saying, "THANK YOU! IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU!". Page 11: Back on the rocky path where the battle took place, Usopp addresses Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. "IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU GUYS... THE VILLAGE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN PROTECTED," he says gratefully. Zoro smirks and replies, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? IF YOU HADN'T DONE ANYTHING, I WOULDN'T HAVE EITHER". Luffy grins and agrees, "SAME HERE". Nami, holding a large sack of treasure, chimes in, "THAT DOESN'T MATTER, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TREASURE". Usopp then stands up, looking resolute. "IN LIGHT OF THIS... THERE'S A DECISION I'VE MADE..." he announces. Luffy looks at him curiously, "HUH?".
