Happy holidays I hope you enjoy. I do not own One Piece only the story

At the beginning with the strawhat crew

The crew was sad that usopp had chosen not to come back with them luffy was sure usopp was going to return he tried to reassure his crew but he was also trying to reassure himself. He said "we waited all that time, but he never bothered to show up, so I guess we have our answer" franky readjusted his shades and said "it's your call" luffy was still trying to seem as if he was calm but it was leaving him as he nervously sweated in a comic manner.

He lowered his hat so it covered his face "he'll be fine, it's not like he quit being a pirate, it's a big world out there but I'm sure well run into him again someday, even if he isn't one of us anymore" he chuckled a small nervous one.

They noticed that something had been launched at them and it looked like a black, luffy reacted instantly and reached out for the object, he caught it and it seemed to just be a normal bag the crew stood around it. Nothing happened but they had no time to elaborate on it as they were soon being littered with cannon fire they notice that it was garp's ship that was firing at them.

"Bad news the marines are here" Franky exclaims and then they hear Garp over the megaphone he has "hey luffy, can you hear me, this is your grandpa speaking" Luffy speaks up "Yeah I hear you, what's the big deal, you said you were gonna leave us alone"

"Yeah well I say a lot of things, truth of the matter is that I'm going to send you to a watery grave" "Whaaaaaaaat!" was his reply with his face going comically horrified "this isn't much consolation, but ill fight you all on my own"

Garp looked at one of his cadets and said "give me the cannon ball" once he had it in his hand he threw it up and caught it like it was nothing "I call this my meteor fist" he threw it at the sunny but it landed a ways away from it.

The crew was flabbergasted and shocked from this sanji was the first one to react with "h-he just shot a cannon ball at us with his bare hands!" "That flew much faster than with a normal cannon. He threw that if it was a baseball pitch" Was what Zoro had to say

Nami was the next to speak and said "we have no choice, we have to escape, the new ship will be blow up" a volley of cannon balls are thrown at them, they couldn't do anything about it. Franky had spoken up "I have a way for us to get out of here but it will take a minute for it to charge up, I need you guys to keep dodging the cannon balls so that the prep can be finished" the crew nodded and he was off.

They did what they could and noticed that the cannon fire had stopped momentarily and then noticed the explosions that were on garp's ship, they didn't know what it was but the volleys started again and they went back to dodging it.

The explosions started again and this time the cannon volleys started again but this time it was in another direction. They couldn't tell what they were being shot at so they took out a monocular and tried to see what it was, they were surprised to see that it was usopp that was being shot at on a black yagada. He kept dodging the cannon balls and shooting at garp's ship.

Nami was the first to come out of her stupor and say "that idiot, what is he doing he should be on here with us trying to get away damn it!" chopper goes into hysterics "ahhh! Usopp no, you're gonna get blown up"

Zoro had a crestfallen look on his face as did sanji robin was stoic and it was easy to tell that she was not enjoying the fact of what was going on. Luffy was angry he hit his fist on the railing and said "No! Damn it no! this isn't was supposed to happen he was supposed to come back with us, we were supposed to keep going from here together, he isn't supposed to be protecting us alone "

suddenly they were jettisoned through the air about three hundred kilometers forward, they regained their footing and went back to looking through their monoculars and saw usopp had turned around and was heading back to water seven when they noticed that something was flying towards him, he jumped off the yagada and it sped off, he just stayed there and waited for what would follow.

The last thing they saw was an explosion and after that they couldn't see much because they had gotten too far to be able to see anything. The strawhats were all crestfallen chopper had looked at the bag again and had noticed it to be usopp's so he said as much with tears in his eyes "guys, I know this bag it was usopp's I remember when he made it, I think this was meant for us to have" he said all the while holding back sobs. He sat down looking sad and hurt. Nami said that luffy should open it and he did the first thing that he noticed was the note that was written in it, he pulled it out and began to read it.

Dear friends,

I know that we have been through so much together and those memories will stay with me forever, I also know that I will miss you as long as we are apart, I'm sorry I couldn't return I just didn't know what to say, I am sorry about leaving the crew though,

I hope you can forgive me, I'm sorry Capitan and crew but this is where we go separate ways and hopefully one day we are able to meet up again, and when we do meet again I hope I can be able to follow you guys and be in your league, be stronger, I hope you guys will accept my gifts and that they will help you in the future.

For shopper I know it's not much but I made this doll for you I wanted you to have something to remember me by that is why it is a mini version of me luffy pulls out a little doll that looks like usopp and a mini slingshot in the hand. And I also wanted to give you my old slingshot, who knows maybe one day you'll be a sharpshooter as well as a doctor, I hope you like them, for nami I have made a climatic that is stronger, quicker, and more powerful than before.

Luffy pulls the climatact out of the bag and unfolds it to staff form. I know that it looks the same as the original but trust me this one is way better. For sanji, I was able to get you a set of knives they are the best you could get around, I replaced the handles though and made them more comfortable while making them well gripped, I hope you like them. The knives were pulled out of the bag and they were astounding, the set the handle grips were made out a polyruber material that seemed comfortable and durable. For robin I was able to make a hat, I hope you like it, I also got you this book I found on pony glyphs it's pretty old and it surprised me when I found it, In this old library, anyway the information is limited and I don't know how much of it you know already but I hope it helps you.

For Zoro, I made you two new swords, they were made with the strongest metal I could find, I infused them with sea-prism stone, I figured they would help against devil fruit users later. Believe it or not I do respect you and your ideals I hope you reach your goal of becoming the greatest swordsman in the world.

And finally for you luffy, my Capitan and friend for you, I made you a slide for your hat, so when you fight you don't have to hold it and it won't slip off. He pulled out a slide, which had the strawhats symbol on it. I know that it is not much but I do hope that it helps to hold your hat n place well. That is all my friends I love you all, you were my friends, my crew, and you were my family, I will miss you all. This is bye for now my brothers and sisters.

Sincerely, Usopp.
