My first one piece Fan Fic. Love the anime and manga and am about 3/4ths of the way up to date in both anyway I hope you enjoy

"Brother Usopp, why don't you come with us back to Giant Island? You would be welcomed and we could even teach you a few things." Usopp seemed to think about it for a moment about kashi's offer and then decided that he was done being weak and helpless he wanted to be strong as well so he would go with the giants back to their homeland.

"I would love that thanks you guys that sounds awesome, I can't wait." With a mighty roar of laughter from the giant brothers usopp joined them and then they said "since that's settled were gonna leave in a week brother so if you have any business to attend do it within that time." "Okay brothers, I'll be ready." was his reply. I'll miss them but this will be for the best they don't need me he thought a little sadly

It's two days before they leave and the day before the straw hat gang would leave and usopp has been trying to find a way to tell them that he would be leaving indefinitely and didn't know when he would see them again he is muttering to himself but loud enough for a certain blonde chef to hear him "I'm sorry, yeah ill just start out humble that's how I should begin my apology." Then the chef was on his way.

With the Strawhats in the water seven house

Sanji enter the housing space and announces that usopp will be coming back, everyone seems to be ecstatic and happy at this and they all jump for joy and luffy along with chopper want to go see him and welcome him back but is stopped by zorro. He speaks up and says "I won't forgive anyone who tries to bring him back here." "Why?" was luffy's reply Zoro crossed his arms and says "no matter what happens it isn't you who should behave modestly, luffy."

Luffy becomes serious and just says "Zoro" with a stern look on his face zoro says "I won't accept him back until he comes and begs." Chopper is steaming and nami is mad and starts to say "what are you guys up to" but is silenced by zoro "shut up!" they quiet down and he continues "no matter how luffy and usopp felt when they started to quarrel…"

he starts to walk towards the door as he pulls out kuina's katana scabbard and all "no matter who was right…" now standing in front of luffy "after demanding a man to man duel, you gotta devote yourself to the outcome of the battle!" luffy thinks back to when he was challenged by usopp "and, after losing, he left of his own accord." He looks at everyone while he taps luffy on the head with the hilt of his katana. "Even though he's an idiot, he has the title of Capitan."

He stretches luffy's cheek out and continues "his crew would be better without someone who doesn't chow respect for this guy, a crew that loses respect for their Capitan, is sure to collapse" the rest of the crew looks crestfallen as they take in the intertie of what he said. Zoro pulls harder on luffy's cheek and starts again while looking peeved and at luffy, who is returning the look with the same amount of anger.

"Listen! You can act as easy going as you usually do but, if even for an instant, the man who is my leader lets others step over him, next time, it is me who will leave this crew!" nami and chopper are flabbergasted by this and nami voices he opinion "eh?! That won't settle down this conversation!" Zoro let go of luffy's cheek and began "if that idiot wants to come back, its fine. However, is he doesn't make a distinction of the current matters, and is acting for self-interest, then I definitely won't forgive him!" luffy, chopper, and nami stood with their mouths agape while robin sat looking towards the conversation and sanji sat with a cigarette and a cup of coffee. "If so it's better for you to leave usopp on this island" they were looking at him like he was talking crazy and nami tried to get him to change his mind "wait up Zoro. It's true that he made some mistakes but if you just tell him what you said when he gets back…"

When she was cut off by zoro pushing his thumb against the fuchi of kuina's katana, he draws it fully and plants it firmly in the ground to the left of his as he exclaims "is leaving the crew such an easy thing to do?!" nami with a steeled look firmly says "no…but…" and then is interrupted by sanji "it is unfortunate but, just for this time what he says is right."

Zoro hops back in and says "we also can't trust a guy who started such a thing on a whim, it's simple… if usopp's first thing to say is a deep apology, fine if it isn't…" as he returns the katana to its saya "…then there is no place for him to go back to." He looks at the crew with a glower and said "what we're doing isn't a childish pirate game!"

Luffy thinks back to the after math of the fight the words he said echoing in his mind you can do as you like with the merry, well get a new ship, and move forward and well sail the further seas! See ya usopp. I've had fun until now "you're right, we separated once, there are still many days until the ship is ready." He sits down cross legged with his hands on his knees he looks down at the floor and finishes with "we'll wait for him quietly."

At the water seven junk yard

It was almost time to leave and the strawhats now had franky as their shipwright, they have left the port and are sailing when they come under enemy fire, and it is garp's naval ship with him firing cannon balls at the Thousand Sunny.

Usopp was finally at the junk yard and he had seen what was happening he had a black bag with him and thought one last act of kindness for my crew after this I will no longer have anything to do with them unless our paths cross in the future.

Usopp had pulled out his kasukabe and took aim his ammo the black bag, his target, the thousand sunny, he fired it and saw that it would make it he turned his attention to the yagada that was in the ocean already he sped off with someone yelling "hey! That's my yagada!" he threw over his shoulder "don't worry! I'll bring it back, I promise" and continued on his way he sped out for a little bit longer and then came to a stop.

Farewell my friends he thought as a tear ran down his cheek before he pulled out kasukabe from his bag and started to lay down sniper fire on the ship the cannon fire stopped momentarily, then started again still aiming for the thousand sunny so he started with another barrage of fire then decided it would be a good idea to pull out the bigger ammo.

He pulled out exploding stars and fired upon the ship again once more the cannon fire ceased but this time when it started up it was aimed at him he got the yagada to move again and he kept moving while still shooting at the ship in hopes of stalling for his friends.

He kept dodging cannon fire and shooting while doing so, he finally got his prayers answered when he notice the thousand sunny be propelled about three hundred kilometers forward and he knew that the would be able to escape now. I knew franky would have something to get them out of there, I have done my part now I need to get out of here before they capture me.

He sped off on the yagada and was going as fast as the yagada could and didn't notice the cannon that was coming at him he told the yagada "leave me here go back to your master" in a soft whisper he hopped of the yagada and waited for death to come to him. And he only knew darkness after that.

And that concludes the first chapter of Usopp: Death and Rebirth I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and look forward to more thank you for your time please tell me what you thought Later Daze
