Ch-38
"Alright, everyone! Get to work!" Nami ordered as she pointed out her finger towards the enemies. Seeing this Zoro couldn't help but frown, "Why should we get involved in your money-making scheme?" he rebuked.
"Why you ask? Because as pirates we need funds to get things done so you're not just doing it for me but also for the crew! Think of all the good things we get procure for ourselves if we have more money in our hands," Nami said.
"Can I buy a robot toy with the money?" Luffy asked.
"Of course, you can but we need to earn it first," Nami baited.
"Alright! Let's get to work Zoro! Sanji! Usopp!" Luffy shouted.
Nami's words did make sense to Zoro but he also knew it that she was definitely taking advantage of them and that was something he didn't like one bit but it was too late to refuse it now that he saw the expression on Luffy's face.
"Gomu Gomu No!" Luffy stretched launched his hands forward and grabbed a mooring cleat that was at a distance from the ship and without waiting for anyone launched himself towards Mr 5 and the group.
As for Zoro, Sanji and Usopp, they waited for the ship to get close to the shore as there was still quite a distance between the two.
Mr 5 and Miss Valentine who were both clearly irritated by the addition of these pirates were taken in by surprise when they saw Luffy's hand stretching out from his ship before grabbing the mooring cleat that was not very far from them and before they could come out of their dazed state Luffy's figure was right next to them as just like a bowling ball he clashed into the group of people and sent them all flying.
While Luffy was busy with dealing with those bastards Usopp was busy with something else, something much more important. He was observing all around Whiskey Peak and was looking for his targets.
After a round of searching, he finally got his eye on his targets who were hiding pretty well not far from the area of conflict and if not for Usopp's deliberate intent to search for these two he wouldn't have found them.
Not wanting to waste a single amount of time, he prepared his revolver whose range and power he had already tested by now and the results were nothing but impressive. After doing that under the confused gazes of others he lifted the barrel and aimed it towards a particular direction approximately seven hundred meters away from them before pressing the trigger twice.
BAM!
BAM!
The sounds of the pistol alerted Mr 5 and the rest as they were anticipating the arrival of a bullet but unlike their expectations, no bullet came whereas the real targets of the bullet didn't even get the chance to have a premonition that they were about to die and fell down dead on the rooftop from where they were observing the scene earlier.
"PETA bite me!" Usopp said as he put down his revolver while rotating it on his finger.
These two bastards, the vulture and the Otter used to get a lot on his nerves back in the day and seeing them do whatever they wanted to do got on his nerves. He also didn't want to make things difficult for themselves after getting their identities revealed to Crocodile and the members of the Baroque works thanks to these two bastards so he dealt with them now.
"What were you even shooting at?" Sanji asked a bit confused.
"Just dealing with a few pests that were observing us," Usopp said with a smirk.
Zoro was amazed by this as in the direction in which the revolver was earlier pointed he was able to witness two small figures collapsing. This also filled him with a sense of dread as if it was him in the position of those figures would he be able to deflect such an attack?
This fuelled him further to work more on his haki and advance it further.
Nami didn't think much over Usopp's words and readily believed them whereas Sanji had a hint of doubt on his face but chose to not say it.
"Where was that bullet fired at?" Miss Valentine asked in confusion.
"We're not in any situation to figure that out Miss Valentine so let's focus on the current situation," Mr 5 said as he met with Luffy's punch and showed the prowess of his Bomb devil fruit. Upon making contact with Luffy's fist the sweat beads in his hands exploded and sent Luffy's figure back flying.
"Cough! Cough! That hurts!" Luffy exclaimed as coughed out the sulphur content that had entered his mouth.
"Just because you have devil fruit powers kid doesn't mean others won't have it. Now that you stand against us your fate is sealed," Mr 5 said as he looked towards Luffy as if he was looking at a dead person.
"I don't like the eyes you give me and that's why I'm going to kick your ass, Gomu Gomu No Pistol!" Luffy stood himself up and launched another attack right towards Mr 5.
Mr 5 just like before was planning to counter Luffy's attack easily but he like every arrogant villain underestimated the force that was concentrated in Luffy's punch and ended up with his teeth smashed to pieces and exploding inside his own mouth.
Seeing this scene Vivi suddenly felt that she had hit the jackpot as these pirates proved to be stronger than she had anticipated. If they were weaker then she had planned along with Igaram to use them as a diversion and escape but from the looks of it, there was no need for that.
"You might have defeated Mr 5 but have you ever felt a 1000kg weight falling down on you from a height?!" Miss Valentine said as she jumped up into the sky after minimizing her weight but just when she was about to increase it and slam onto Luffy's head a bullet grazed past her face.
"Easy their lady, you don't want me to leave a bloody hole in that pretty face of yours, do you?" Usopp while pointing the barrel of his gun towards Miss Valentine warned her.
Seeing the gun barrel pointed towards her Miss Valentine couldn't help but grit her teeth and get down slowly as she had no intention of spoiling her face.
"Wise choice, Now empty out all your belongings" Usopp said still not letting the barrel of the gun off Miss Valentine.
With her face still stinging from the earlier graze of the bullet Miss Valentine did what she was told and gave everything that she had in her possession.
"Hmm?" One of the things that Miss Valentine had taken out was an eternal pose which piqued Usopp's interest.
"Where is that pointing towards?" Usopp asked with his barrel still pointing right towards Miss Valentine's beautiful face.
"It's towards the Drum Kingdom," Miss Valentine gritted out of her teeth.
"The Drum Kingdom? Why do you have it?" Usopp further enquired.
"Why do you want to know so much about me? I've given you all my stuff isn't that already enough?!" Getting annoyed by the constant questioning Miss Valentine growled back at Usopp like an injured dog whose tail has been stepped upon.
Usopp didn't care the least and just made the barrel of his gun press Miss Valentine's cheek from the side as he said while closing up to her, "Now, do you still wish to argue with me, lady?"
Feeling the still hot barrel pressing on her face Miss Valentine quickly quietened down and immediately replied "I'll talk, I'll talk! Just remove that thing from my face," Miss Valentine seemed to be on the verge of crying so not wanting to wet the barrel of his gun Usopp removed it from her cheek.
"Now answer," Usopp said.
"The Drum Kingdom is known for its great advancement in medical sciences and the doctors there are also very experienced in plastic surgery, so whenever I get my face scarred from the battles, I get it removed by going to the Drum Kingdom…" Miss Valentine explained her reasons to Usopp.
"So, it's all plastic?" Usopp looked at Miss Valentine from top to down and couldn't help but feel weirded out.
"It's not! I've only removed a few scars as of yet!" Miss Valentine explained herself.
"That's what you say but how could I believe, it's alright, if I was in your place then I would have lied as well," Usopp commented.
"I'm not lying!" Miss Valentine shouted but only to receive a 'tch' from Usopp as he eyed her breasts and shook his head in regret.
Embarrassment and frustration took over her and unable to control herself she grabbed Usopp's left hand's wrist and pressed his hands onto her breasts as she shouted, "See! They are real! Not plastic!"
Getting a lady who was readily telling him to take advantage of her how could Usopp refuse? Making a serious face he said "Hmm? Is it? Let me test a bit more," and with that, he started pressing and kneading Miss Valentine's supple breast piece as if it was dough thoroughly enjoying the sensation.
Miss Valentine's face quickly grew red as her body started responding to the stimulus that Usopp's adept hands were giving her body but before things could go on for any longer a voice interrupted the two of them.
"Usopp why the hell are you grabbing this lady's breasts!" Sanji said both in horror and shock.
"Duh! Because she's letting me grab it," Usopp responded casually and continued to knead the dough.
If it was all alone then it was alright but with the arrival of another person Miss Valentine couldn't contain her embarrassment any longer and separated herself from Usopp's grips.
Seeing this Sanji shouted, "You bastard! You were clearly taking advantage of her!"
"Was I taking advantage of you, Miss?" Usopp looked towards Miss Valentine and asked.
Getting asked a question like this Miss Valentine became even more embarrassed and while looking down towards the ground said "No…You were not…" and after saying that she rushed out of the scene with a flushed face.
Seeing this situation Sanji couldn't help but become shocked. He had never seen a situation where after clearly being taken advantage of by a man the woman still stood for him.
"How did you do it?" Sanji asked with doubt filling up his mind.
"What?" Usopp asked in confusion.
"How did you make her let you touch you so easily?" Sanji asked.
"So, you wanna learn this technique aswell?" Usopp asked with a proud face.
"Y-yes…C-Can I?" Sanji asked filled with doubts as to whether he could master such a difficult technique or not.
"Accept me as your sensei and with time I'll imbibe the required knowledge into you," Usopp said with the same proud expression with his nose pointing straight to the clouds.
"Accept this man as your disciple sensei," Sanji said with a tear-stained face as he prostrated in front of Usopp.
"Alright, from today onwards observe my interactions with women," Usopp proceeded to give Sanji his very first lesson.
