Chapter 196 Goodbye, Buddy
Previously, Usopp used his shell to absorb Luffy's full blow, but now he returned it completely, and the blast went straight towards Luffy's head.
With one hit, Luffy flew backwards.
"Asshole, now you know how powerful I am!"
Usopp covered his arm and shouted in the direction where Luffy fell. Not to mention Luffy's injuries from the previous impact, the huge counterattack almost broke his entire arm.
But before he could finish his words, he saw Luffy forcefully stand up again after being knocked away dozens of meters. His straight body stood in front of everyone, like a mountain.
Looking at Luffy, Usopp couldn't help but recall many past events in his mind, with Luffy and with the Merry.
He had broken an arm at this time and had no room to fight back.
"Rubber, bullet!"
Luffy's voice echoed clearly in his ears, and he was unable to dodge.
With one punch, Luffy hit Usopp in the abdomen, and he fell to his knees slumped on the ground. The huge pain in his body made him speechless.
When Chopper on the boat saw this, he held back tears in his eyes and didn't say a word.
Zoro looked at the scene in front of him and exhaled slightly.
"It looks like the winner has been decided."
Although Luffy defeated Usopp, he didn't feel any joy in his heart. He collapsed and sat down in front of Usopp.
"Idiot, how could you win over me?!"
"..."
"Merry, do whatever you like! We will buy a new ship and continue sailing!! Goodbye Usopp, I am very happy to be with you!"
On the boat, after seeing this, Chopper finally couldn't help but rush under the boat.
"Usopp!"
Seeing this, Sanji pressed Chopper down.
"Chopper, don't go!"
"Why! Usopp's body was already covered in bruises, and now it's like this."
"Chopper, this is not a quarrel or a competition!!"
"So what? I'm a doctor, and I'm going to treat him!"
"If you think about it carefully, there is nothing more humiliating for a man than being defeated in a duel and receiving sympathy. Your inadvertent kindness can only add salt to the loser's wounds. If you think about it carefully, Think about it, what consciousness did he have to accept the challenge? "
Luffy stood beneath the Merry.
His expression was gloomy, and he lowered his head tightly, letting the straw hat cover his expression.
Seeing this, Rey stood on the bow of the ship and said loudly: "Luffy! Don't be confused!! If you are hesitant, who can we trust?"
Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this.
Luffy said nothing.
Rey turned and walked towards the cabin: "Move the things out! We will not return to this ship again!!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's tears couldn't stop flowing out.
At this time, it was difficult for Rey to stay out of the matter. He reached out and touched Merry, holding back the tears in his eyes: "Goodbye, Merry! Thank you very much for your company for so long. Goodbye my partner!"
After the things were moved off the boat, Rey also felt a sense of loss.
It seems that he has lost his long-standing partner, and he can deeply understand Usopp's feelings in his heart, but none of this should be a reason for him to get off the ship.
Rey walked down with everyone.
When leaving, Rey did not forget to look back at Usopp.
"I hope you can take care of yourself."
After saying that, he left and ignored him, while Usopp was lying on the ground sobbing into a ball.
There was no suitable place to go after Rey and everyone left the Merry.
So they went straight to a hotel and stayed there.
At night, Rey lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Because what he was thinking about was still Usopp's departure. Although he knew the direction of things later, due to his own appearance, everything became different from before, so he didn't know Usopp either. Is it really possible to get back on the ship again?
Apart from Usopp, Rey is most worried about Robin now. He knows Robin's situation, so his top priority is to save her as soon as possible!
Just when Rey was troubled.
The mechanical voice in his mind sounded again.
"Dear host, the mission has been triggered to save Robin. The mission requires Robin to be freed. The mission rewards 50 potential points. I would like to ask the host if he accepts the mission."
The sound of the system came out extremely suddenly, so Rey couldn't help being really startled.
But after hearing it clearly, he couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart.
"Even if you didn't tell me, I would have saved Robin. Now there is a reward, how could I refuse? Of course I will accept it!"
"Okay, congratulations to the host, you successfully accepted the mission."
After speaking, the system's voice disappeared directly from Rey's ears.
Rey was speechless for a while. He found that the system was becoming more and more perfunctory sometimes.
But who is the boss? Rey had nothing to say about this.
"I haven't seen Xiao Hei for a long time recently. I don't know where he went. He really has no sense of responsibility at all!"
Rey muttered softly.
But at this moment, I only heard a strange noise coming from behind.
"Meow~meow~"
The cry was not loud, but Rey still heard it clearly. He quickly turned his head to look and found the little black cat parked right behind him.
After seeing this guy, Lei Yi said helplessly: "You, it's not that you can't talk, but you have to be like a cat every day!"
Xiao Hei glanced at him impatiently.
"Don't you think it's stupid to say such things? I'm not a human. Even if I have the power of the fruit, I'm still a cat. Besides, what's wrong with being a cat? I think you humans are boring!"
Lei Yi shrugged and didn't bother to argue, because if you have to say it, Xiao Hei is a thick thigh, and it's not easy to anger it.
"Where have you been shopping recently?"
"Humph, you still have the nerve to ask, of course I went to find a way to save your life."
After hearing this, Lei Yi was instantly overjoyed. Even if he asked him to kneel in front of the cat and kowtow to it twice, he would not have any objection.
"Hehe! I know you are the best! I wonder what skills you stole this time?" Lei Yi asked attentively.
Xiao Hei smiled very humanely at this time: "Hey, do you want to know?"
"You are talking nonsense, of course I want to know!"
"Well, if you want to know, shouldn't you express it? Do you really want to get something for nothing?"
Rei was speechless after hearing this.
