Hey, hey. Last chapter. I'm sorry, I had hoped that I could draw it out more, but I don't think that I can. Seriously, did you read some of my chapters? It was pretty much a game of "How many adjectives and/or filler sentences to make this thing longer." I'm also sorry that some of my chapters were only 1.5K words long. I know that I could do better. Anyhow, since this is the last chapter, some of you people are going to get recognition at the end of this chapter. Actually, one or more of you reviewers are going to be in tears of laughter after reading this chapter. If you know who you are, review again about it and I'll thank you. I hope that you all enjoy this chapter.

Caw caw!

Well, at least the seagulls were enjoying this instant, because right at the moment, the air was exceptionally copious with the fairly accustomed resonances of brigands attaining true befuddlement.

Usopp bowed his head. "It's true. I am Sogeking."

Shanks looked concernedly back and forth between the two; much like Luffy was doing earlier that day. He didn't know how this was going to go down, but if he had anything to say about it, he'd take the blame. The poor boy didn't need to be traumatized any more than he already had been.

Yasopp backed away. "But you're Usopp, not Sogeking. You're my son… Aren't you?"

Choking on his words, Usopp continued. "I am Usopp, and I am Sogeking. We are the same person."

Yasopp scrunched up his face. "No, Sogeking was on the ship before, not you." He retorted vociferously. "And he was wearing a mask. Not to mention that he was the sniper of the crew! And he was there for dinner, you weren't… Oh."

Usopp face palmed. "Yes, oh. Did you not make any of those connections? Did you not see anything remotely suspicious?"

The crew was watching warily. They didn't know what they'd started, and they weren't sure that they wanted to find out. If they'd revealed something that Yasopp didn't need to know, they would be in big trouble. It's hard to eat in peace when mysterious bullets wiz past your head.

Yasopp's face was turning pale. His breathing sped up as his mind ran through all of the conversations he had with Sogeking, all of the small things he might hadn't said to Usopp. He'd trusted Sogeking! Scratch that, he'd trusted Usopp! Sogeking… What an idiot! He started to speak. "You- you-" he swallowed harshly. "You-"

Usopp leaned forward. The volume of Yasopp's voice was slowly deteriorating, until it was barely more than a quiet whisper.

"What?" Usopp whispered nervously. "What did you say?"

It seemed rude to break the silence, like walking into a funeral late. Yasopp beckoned Usopp to come forward.

"You," he said one last time. He took a deep breath and let it out, and then took another large gulp of air in again. "YOU SHOULDN'T LIE TO YOUR FATHER, WARUGAKI! I AM GOING TO POUND YOUR-" (SEAGULL NOISES!) "-INTO THE GROUND, YOU LITTLE-" (SORRY, I THINK MY MOTHER READS THESE!)

The entire crew face faulted. "THAT'S IT?!"

Usopp and Yasopp were silently facing each other now. Yasopp was glaring at his son, and Usopp was frowning at the ground.

All was silent on the ship of the Red-Haired pirates.

Usopp started moving, and the crew watched in interest as he walked closer and closer to Yasopp. As soon as he stopped, all leaned forward to get a better glimpse of what was going to happen next. Usopp, like his father, took one deep breath for what he was about to do. He reeled back and punched him in the face. Yasopp fell back and hit the floor.

"AYAYAAAAAAAAAAA?" screamed the crew.

Shanks' jaw dropped to the floor. "Huh?" he asked. He really wasn't expecting that.

Yasopp was lying, sputtering, on the floorboards. He- his son just punched him! In the face, no less! What had just happened?

Usopp stood a few meters away from Yasopp, looking at his own ship. He turned back towards Yasopp sharply. "You have no right to judge me for what I've done or haven't done for the last ten years. You have never been a part of my life, and you have no say over what I do. I'm a pirate myself now, and I can do whatever I like! Mind your own business, old man. You have no right to call yourself my father if that is how you want it to be."

Usopp was standing tall throughout his entire speech. With his arms crossed, he stood straight up Yasopp. As proud as he looked, his lip was trembling, and he didn't look as if he enjoyed saying it one bit. This, however, didn't seem to be apparent to Yasopp. He was sitting very still on the deck of the ship. His head was bent to his knees, and he didn't look up.

"Wonderful," the crew thought. "Now we have to move even closer to hear them. At this rate, we'll be giving them all piggyback rides." As it turns out, they didn't have to move closer. Yasopp raised his head and looked, bleary eyed, at Usopp.

"YOU'RE RIGHT!" he shouted back. "I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS TELLING YOU HOW YOU SHOULD BE LIVING YOUR OWN LIFE. PLEASE, JUST LET ME WORRY."

Usopp stood in shock. What had he just heard? Was his stubborn old man seriously worried about him?

Yasopp continued. "I really did worry about you, you know, when I went to sea. I had hoped that Banchina was alive and well, taking care of you. I thought that you would become a pirate when you were older, or at least of age. Yet, you already know most of these things, don't you? You were Sogeking the entire time. Why didn't you tell me?"

Usopp's eyes were popping out of his head. Was this what was going through the old man's head? If so, he had seriously misjudged the old geezer.

Yasopp looked at Usopp. "Please," he said quietly. "Tell me."

Narrowing his eyes, Usopp thought. Why did I not tell him? I wanted to see what he thought of me, right? So why did I not tell him who I was sooner. I could've told him after the first night I stayed on this ship, but I didn't. Why not?

He let out his breath and faced Yasopp again. "I just wanted to make sure that you loved me and Mom, if you had left. That's all."

Yasopp stared at him. "That's all? If you had just told me who you were the first time we met, I would've- Man, I've shot you!"

Usopp came over and hesitantly patted him on the head. "It's ok, it's healed, see?" He showed Yasopp the barely visible scar on his arm.

Yasopp nodded slowly. "That's good- and you just punched me in the face. Hey; you've tied with me in a sniping competition, too!"

Puffing out his chest, Usopp grinned broadly. "Of course I did! I'm an amazing sniper! Didn't you see my bounty as Sogeking?"

The crew gathered around the two slowly dispersed, all the while grumbling. That wasn't even a good show. They could've drawn it out a bit more. Shanks still stood on the deck and watched interestedly.

As soon as they left, Yasopp got back on track. He crossed his legs and motioned for Usopp to sit beside him, which he did. "It was nice to see you, kiddo. I had wanted to see you for a very long time. And I don't blame you for doing what you did. I would've done the same thing."

Usopp shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know if it was such a good idea. I should've told you right away, I know."

Yasopp laughed. "No, that's fine. Besides, no one else knew, right?"

Usopp's smile slowly faded. This was going to get awkward. "Well, uh, your crew figured it out right as I got on the ship this time."

Yasopp nodded wisely. "Yes, I knew that. I guess I was so excited that I didn't notice."

Heh heh. Oh boy.

Yasopp continued. "It's just that no one knew that you were when you were Sogeking, right?"

Usopp didn't say anything.

"Right?…Right? Usopp?"

Usopp looked Yasopp nervously in the eye. "Well, to tell you the truth… Shanks figured it out right away!"

Yasopp's jaw dropped. "No way!" he said. "That's impossible! He would've told me!"

Usopp shook his head. "Nope. He knew almost as soon as I got on."

Yasopp slowly stood up. "That- that- little-"

Shanks was backing away quickly. "Now, listen, Yasopp, buddy. It wasn't my secret to tell! The kid told me not to tell you!

Yasopp came closer and closer, speeding up. "I. AM. GOING. TO. KILL. YOU."

Shanks started running away. "You'll have to catch me first!" he yelled, speeding across the ship.

Gritting his teeth, the sniper ran after him. "JUST WATCH ME, (SEAGULL NOISES!)

Leaning against the main mast, Usopp laughed and laughed. Maybe this wasn't so bad after all.
