## One Piece Chapter 40, pages 9-10: USOPP PIRATE GROUP - Chapter: 40 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Usopp, Kaya, Villagers, Piiman, Ninjin, Tamanegi ### Summary Page 9: Usopp looks at Kaya and asks, "KAYA, IS IT GOING TO BE HARD FOR YOU...?". Kaya smiles warmly and replies, "NO!". The scene transitions to a peaceful morning in Syrup Village, with birds chirping happily on a branch. Inside a house, a man suddenly realizes the time. "HEY!! IT'S ALREADY 7 O'CLOCK!!" he shouts. His wife replies, "MY GOSH, YOU'RE RIGHT!". The man looks out the window, confused. "I OVERSLEPT!! THAT'S STRANGE, USOPP-KUN DIDN'T COME TODAY". In another house, a man reading the newspaper mutters, "I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO USOPP-KUN. FEELS WEIRD... THROWS MY WHOLE SCHEDULE OFF". 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!".
