## One Piece Chapter 26, pages 14-15: Captain Kuro's Plan - Chapter: 26 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Usopp, Kaya, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi ### Summary Page 14: Usopp sprints desperately away from the cliff, his feet kicking up dust with a "TAP TAP TAP..." sound effect. He panics, thinking, "THIS IS BAD! THIS IS BAD! THIS IS BAD!" Tears stream down his face as he runs, his expression twisted in fear. "THE VILLAGERS... WILL ALL BE KILLED... KAYA WILL BE KILLED TOO! PEOPLE THAT I LOVE...." He continues his frantic dash, declaring, "I LOVE THIS VILLAGE!" A flashback begins, showing a young Kaya looking out her mansion window. She asks, "WHO... WHO ARE YOU?" Outside, Usopp stands proudly on a tree branch, introducing himself: "I'M USOPP, BRAVE WARRIOR OF THE SEA... I'VE HEARD ABOUT YOUR MISFORTUNE. SO I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU, TO CHEER YOU UP!" Kaya smiles playfully and replies, "IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! GET OUT OF HERE! I'M GONNA YELL FOR HELP!" Usopp throws his head back in a loud laugh, saying, "DONT BE SCARED, I JUST LIKE TO MIND OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS!" In the present, Usopp continues running as fast as he can, tears flying from his eyes. Page 15: A cloud of dust approaches along a village path with a "TAP TAP TAP..." sound effect. A voice says, "HUH? THAT'S..." Nami, Zoro, and the three kids from Usopp's crew (Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi) are sitting on a wooden fence. One of the kids points excitedly, "AH! THAT'S THE CAPTAIN!" Zoro, sitting with his arms crossed, asks, "WASN'T LUFFY WITH HIM?" Nami looks thoughtful and asks, "IS HE STILL MAD AT THE BUTLER FOR LOOKING DOWN ON HIS DAD?" Zoro replies, "WHO KNOWS." The three kids notice Usopp's frantic state. "NO! HIS EXPRESSION IS DIFFERENT! SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAPPENED AT THE SHORE! HE'S PANICKING, WHAT HAPPENED?" Zoro's expression turns serious. "HEY KIDS, HOW DO I GET TO THE SHORE?" The kids point in the direction Usopp came from. "I THINK SOMETHING BIG HAS HAPPENED! RIGHT! THAT HYPNOTIST WENT THAT WAY TOO A WHILE AGO! USOPP'S PIRATE GROUP IS MOVING!" Zoro, looking slightly annoyed, interrupts them, "ARE YOU GUYS DONE? HOW DO I GET THERE?"
