Chapter 194: Breakup

Luffy's words reached everyone's ears clearly, and they all remained silent at this time, because they understood that this choice was really helpless, so it was a last resort.

But Usopp didn't think so.

His body was wrapped in gauze and he staggered out of the cabin.

"Usopp, you are so seriously injured, you still need to take a good rest!" Chopper shouted anxiously.

But Usopp didn't pay attention to Chopper's intention at this time.

"Hey, Luffy, you said you wanted to say goodbye to the Merry. What did you mean?"

"Usopp, the Merry's keel is damaged and cannot be repaired. If you insist on sailing out, the ship will sink into the sea." Luffy explained helplessly.

"Luffy, the Merry has been with us for so long, and we know its appearance best. It's so hard, how could it not be repaired? Is it because I lost the money? If that's the case , I will definitely find a way to earn back 200 million Baileys!”

"Usopp, this has nothing to do with you. I checked with people at the shipyard. If possible, I am not willing to make such a decision! This ship is sinking slowly, and we want to continue sailing. If so, the only option is to change ships.”

"Luffy! What did you say?! How can you say such a thing? I know best what the Merry is like. They don't repair it. After all, it's just because they don't have enough money! They don't repair it. I will do it. Repair! I’ve been tinkering with it for so long, but the Melly has come over too!”

"Usopp, you don't seem to be a shipbuilder. You don't have to say anything about this kind of thing. The decision I made will not change. It's time for us to say goodbye to the Merry here!"

"Luffy, I misjudged you. I didn't expect that since you could say to change ships, the Merry is our partner, and I will never allow you to abandon it!"

Rey saw that the quarrel between the two became more and more intense.

His brows couldn't help but frown.

"That's enough, that's enough for you two! Stop messing around, Usopp, the Merry can no longer carry us, how long are you going to mess around!"

"Rey, I knew you and Luffy were on the same team. You just used the Merry as a tool, never as a partner!"

"Usopp, why do you say such a thing? If I didn't treat him as a partner, I would do whatever it takes to block the pirate ship for you, but what about you? Apart from fooling around, what can you do! Do you really want to see it? You will only be willing to let the Meili sink into the sea before your eyes!"

"I don't care, I can definitely fix the Merry! I can definitely do it!"

"Usopp, I said that the decision I have made will not change. If you are not willing to stay in this pirate group, then you..."

"Luffy!"

"Luffy!"

Sanji and Zoro spoke up together, interrupting Luffy's words.

At this time, Luffy also realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant." He said sarcastically.

But Usopp's expression became more and more sad.

"Finally tell the truth! Luffy, Rey, you are all the same, you are equally powerful, you are the center of the world, you can easily abandon those useless companions, just like abandoning the Merry, It’s like abandoning me, in that case, I’m getting off the ship!”

Luffy fell silent at this point.

As for Rey, he stared at Usopp: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I said I wanted to get off the boat!"

"Usopp, don't talk nonsense!" Sanji shouted quickly.

"Usopp, you're injured, go back and recuperate!" Seeing that something was wrong, Chopper wanted to help Usopp back to the cabin, but in the end he broke away directly.

"Let me go! I said I want to get off the boat!"

Luffy raised his head at this time, stared at Usopp, and then said softly: "Okay, I agree. If you don't agree, you can go."

Luffy's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder among everyone. After speaking, he felt a sense of relief.

They were slightly stunned at first, but they accepted this fact extremely helplessly. Because no matter how unreliable Luffy is on weekdays, he is also the captain of this ship, and for the crew, the captain's orders must be obeyed!

Usopp stared at Luffy closely.

"This ship does belong to the captain. In this case, I want to challenge you, Monkey D. Luffy. Let's have a showdown. The winner will determine the ownership of this ship!"

After hearing this, Rey felt a burst of pain in his heart.

He knew this would happen, but when it actually happened, he seemed unable to do anything. Although these two guys seemed to be heartless on weekdays, at critical moments, one was more stubborn than the other.

Nami and Chopper were next to Rey at this time.

He said softly: "Rey, please persuade them, there is no need for us to fight among ourselves! As long as we communicate well, there is nothing that cannot be solved!"

Rey shook her head slightly.

"Needless to say, if it is really resolved through communication, Usopp will not be stupid enough to bet his own life. This is Usopp's choice. I have no right to interfere, and I don't want to! He is not a child. He must be responsible for the choices he makes. If he doesn’t even have this awareness, he is not worthy of being our companion!”

"Okay, Usopp, I accept your challenge!"

Luffy agreed straightforwardly.

The look in Usopp's eyes suddenly dimmed the moment Luffy agreed.

"I'll be back here at 10 o'clock tonight, and we'll have a duel with the Merry as the stakes!"

Luffy didn't say anything, and Usopp staggered off the Merry. After seeing this, tears began to well up in Nami's eyes.

"Stupid, Luffy, why did you agree to him! Liar was just angry, just calm down. Everything will be fine!"

"Nami, there's no turning back now!"

"No! As long as you apologize to him and have a good talk again..."

"I said, there's no turning back!"

Luffy seemed extremely stubborn at this time, and Nami knew that it was useless for her to say anything more.

When Nami saw Luffy's expression, tears immediately rolled down her eyes. "We were all so happy together this morning, it seems like a dream. If something happens to Robin... our group... seems like it's about to fall apart..."
