## One Piece Chapter 438: Pride - Chapter: 438 - Pages: 0-17 - Characters: Enel, Sanji, Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Zoro, Usopp, Nico Robin, Franky, Monkey D. Garp, Kuzan, Sengoku, Franky Family ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 438 opens with the title page, "PRIDE." Enel's Great Space Mission continues with Vol. 9, "APPROACHING SHADOW." On the moon, Enel stands under the stars with the small soldier nearby, while a huge shadow begins to fall across the lunar landscape. It is cover-story material and not part of the Water Seven departure. Page 1: At Galley-La, the crew hears the news that Usopp is coming back. Sanji says, "YEAH. HE WAS REHEARSING AT THE COAST," and Luffy immediately lights up: "WOW!! GOOD TO KNOW!! LET'S GO FETCH HIM IMMEDIATELY!!" Nami and Chopper are relieved, but Zoro stops them cold. "I WON'T LET ANYONE GO FETCH HIM," he says. No matter what, Usopp should not take a modest approach. Zoro makes the line clear: "I WILL NOT APPROVE OF HIM UNTIL HE APOLOGIZES!!" When Nami protests, Zoro shuts the room down with one sharp word: "SHUSH!!!" Page 2: Zoro explains the rule behind his anger. Whatever Luffy and Usopp thought during their argument, and no matter who was right, once the two chose to fight, the outcome was entrusted to the match. In the end, Usopp lost and left them. Zoro says, "LISTEN, GUYS, EVEN THOUGH HE'S A BIG IDIOT, HE IS OUR CAPTAIN." As part of the crew, it is better not to have someone who cannot pay respect to the captain. A crew whose captain has lost his dignity will surely collapse. The room goes silent because Zoro is not talking about pride as vanity; he is talking about the structure that keeps a pirate crew alive. Page 3: Zoro grabs Luffy by the shirt and forces him to understand the weight of being captain. "IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS THAT YOU USUALLY JOKE AROUND," he says, "BUT IF YOU HUMILIATE YOURSELF YET STILL WANT TO CLAIM ANY PRETENSE OF BEING MY LEADER, THEN I WILL BE THE ONE TO LEAVE THE CREW!!!" Luffy and Nami recoil. Zoro agrees that it would be best if Usopp decided to come back, but he will never let him back in if Usopp only excuses himself and tries to sweep everything under the rug. When Luffy says they can complain after Usopp returns, Zoro explodes, "IS LEAVING THE CREW SUCH A SIMPLE THING!!?" Page 4: The crew absorbs Zoro's answer. Nami says, "...!! NO... BUT..." and Sanji admits, "NAMI-SAN... UNFORTUNATELY, HE'S GOT IT RIGHT THIS TIME...!!" Zoro says that in the future there is no way they can trust a guy who does such a thing on a whim. Robin calmly states the condition: "IF THE FIRST THING USOPP SAYS IS HIS DEEPEST APOLOGY, THEN IT'S ALL RIGHT FOR HIM TO COME BACK... BUT IF IT'S NOT, THEN HE HAS NO PLACE TO RETURN TO." Luffy sits with the verdict. Usopp, elsewhere, thinks "FAREWELL... USOPP. I HAD... FUN," while the crew decides, "ARE WE CLEAR!? WE PARTED WAYS ONCE. WE'LL WAIT FOR HIM IN SILENCE!!" Page 5: The Thousand Sunny moves out from Water Seven, but the Marines have already spotted the Straw Hat crew on the southeast coast. A report reaches Garp: "VICE ADMIRAL GARP!! WE'VE SPOTTED THE STRAWHAT CREW ON THE SOUTHEAST COAST." His subordinates worry that returning because his grandson is on the Den Den Mushi is embarrassing, but Garp laughs it off and says to tell Sengoku if they have anything to say. Kuzan lounges nearby, asking whether it is okay for him to be there, and Garp calls him noisy. The old vice admiral admits it is troublesome to go back by bike, but says it is not good to leave the enemy right in front of their eyes. Page 6: Usopp runs through Water Seven, convinced that everyone is waiting for him. "ALL RIGHT! I'M COMING BACK TO MY NAKAMA!" he shouts. He imagines saying, "I CAN COME BACK TO YOU GUYS AS A VICE CAPTAIN!!!" and expects the crew to cry and beg him to return. In his head, he has one hundred patterns to counter every reaction. He decides the best opening line is, "SINCE YOU GUYS ARE CRYING SO MUCH AND BEGGING ME TO COME BACK..." and imagines they will admire him even more for overcoming adversity. But the city behind him is already in motion, and the ship is preparing to leave. Page 7: The order goes out: "SET SAIL!!" The Thousand Sunny begins to move from Shipwreck Island while the Franky Family calls, "BRO, WE WISH YOU GOOD HEALTH!!" and "FRANKY FAMILY WILL NEVER DIE!!!" Nami and Chopper call for Luffy, but he still looks back. Franky asks whether he is sure and says, "DON'T YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR ONE MORE PERSON?" Luffy answers that he has been waiting for him since Sanji told the story. On the coast, Usopp still has not appeared with the words Zoro demanded. Page 8: Luffy admits why he waited: "I WAITED FOR HIM IN THAT ROOM AT GALLEY-LA, SO SOMEONE COULD WELCOME HIM, BUT HE NEVER SHOWED UP!!" He reads Usopp's absence as an answer and says he is sure they will have fun too, since he does not think Usopp will quit being a pirate and hopefully they will meet him on the sea someday. Before that goodbye can se...
