## One Piece Chapter 40, pages 14-15: USOPP PIRATE GROUP - Chapter: 40 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Usopp, Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi ### Summary Page 14: The three boys stare at Usopp in stunned silence. Piiman stammers, "WHAT...?", and Ninjin asks, "CAPTAIN?". Usopp smiles, looking off into the distance. "AFTER SEEING THEM, I DECIDED. I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS VILLAGE". He points a thumb at himself enthusiastically, "THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON! BECAUSE THE PIRATE FLAG IS CALLING ME!". The boys immediately panic. Tamanegi yells, "CAPTAIN, THAT'S A LIE! THAT'S ALSO A LIE, RIGHT!?". Piiman cries out, "THAT'S SO SUDDEN! BESIDES, DON'T YOU LOVE THIS VILLAGE, CAPTAIN?". Ninjin asks frantically, "WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO USOPP PIRATE GROUP!?!". Page 15: Usopp looks back at the boys with a soft smile. "THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, GUYS. I DON'T PLAN ON TELLING THE FOLKS IN THE VILLAGE, SAY BYE TO THEM FOR ME". The boys are in tears. Piiman cries, "NO...", Ninjin yells, "NO, I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT!!!", and Tamanegi pleads, "DON'T GO, CAPTAIN". Usopp looks down, reminiscing. "DO YOU REMEMBER THIS PLACE? THIS IS WHERE WE FIRST MET". The lower panels shift into a flashback of their first meeting: the boys call out, "HEY, LIAR!" and tease him, "BUT YOU'RE FAMOUS FOR YOUR LIES" and "YEAH, YOU'RE FAMOUS." Flashback Usopp protests, "I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT STORY!" and then declares, "OKAY, YOU CAN CALL ME CAPTAIN USOPP FROM NOW ON. YOU GUYS ARE USOPP PIRATE GROUP!".
