## One Piece Chapter 41, pages 9-11: TO THE SEA - Chapter: 41 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Kaya, Merry, Usopp ### Summary Page 9: Kaya smiles at the crew and says, "I HAD EVERYTHING YOU WOULD NEED FOR A VOYAGE LOADED ON TO THE SHIP". Luffy grins widely and says, "THANKS FOR CAUSING ALL THIS TROUBLE!" Zoro, standing behind him with his arms crossed, corrects him, "THAT'S 'FOR GOING THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE'...". Luffy ignores the correction and just cheers loudly, "WAAAAAHH!!" Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound, "GOGO GOGO...!!", interrupts them. Everyone turns to look down the rocky path leading to the shore. A massive cloud of dust is rapidly approaching them. From within the dust cloud, a voice screams, "STOP ME PLEASE!!!" The source of the commotion is revealed to be Usopp, who is rolling uncontrollably down the path on top of his giant, spherical bag, screaming "GYAAAAAAAAA!!!" Kaya looks alarmed and cries out, "USOPP-SAN!" Zoro watches the approaching chaos and asks, "WHAT'S HE DOING?" Nami, looking concerned, points out, "I THINK WE SHOULD STOP HIM... IF HE KEEPS ON GOING LIKE THAT, HE'LL HIT THE SHIP". Page 10: Zoro steps forward and casually extends his leg, stopping Usopp's out-of-control roll by planting his foot directly into Usopp's face. A loud "DOSUUN!!" sound effect marks the impact as the giant bag comes to a halt with a cracking "MERI..." sound. Usopp, still pressed against Zoro's foot, groans weakly, "...... TH... THANK... YOU..." Zoro replies nonchalantly, "NO PROBLEM". Kaya approaches and looks down at Usopp. "SO YOU ARE GOING TO THE SEA..." she says softly, then calls to him, "USOPP-SAN...?" Usopp stands up, dusting himself off, and looks at Kaya with a serious expression. "YEAH," he confirms. "I HAVE TO GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND. PLEASE DON'T STOP ME". Kaya smiles gently, her eyes showing a mix of understanding and sadness. "I WON'T... I'VE FIGURED THAT YOU MIGHT DO THIS," she says. She adds, looking slightly downcast, "IT REALLY MAKES ME SAD THOUGH". Page 11: Usopp flashes a wide, confident grin at Kaya. "NEXT TIME I COME TO THIS VILLAGE, I'LL TELL YOU ADVENTURE STORIES THAT ARE MORE UNBELIEVABLE THAN LIES," he promises. Kaya smiles warmly, her eyes closed in appreciation. "THANK YOU. I LOOK FORWARD TO IT," she replies. Usopp then turns his attention to Luffy and Zoro, who are already standing on the deck of the Going Merry. He waves to them, "WELL, SAFE VOYAGE GUYS! HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEWHERE!" Luffy looks down at him, confused, and asks, "WHY?" Usopp is taken aback by the question. "HUH, WHY?" he repeats, then sighs, "SHEESH... YOU'RE SUCH A COLD HEARTED MAN... WE'RE BOTH GOING TO BE PIRATES NOW, SO WE MIGHT MEET AGAIN ON THE HIGH SEAS..." Zoro leans over the railing, looking exasperated. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT... HURRY UP AND GET ON BOARD!" he shouts. Usopp's eyes widen in utter shock. "WHAT?" he exclaims, completely surprised by the invitation.
