Nami's Sister: Nojiko

The girl took the boy and Usopp to a orange farm outside a village.

Usopp finally woke up.

"Who are you?" Usopp asked, "Where's the Fishman?"

"He's gone. I'm Nojiko, the owner of an orange farm at this village," the girl name Nojiko replied.

"Hey! Were you the one that hit me in the head?" Usopp asked, "I was going to save you!"

"No, I saved you. I might get into trouble for this though," Nojiko explained and turned to the boy, "You're from Gosa Village, right? You should know if you fight those fishmen, you'll be killed."

"I know! But they killed my dad, and I'll never forgive them for the rest of my life," the boy explained, "They brought that huge scary monster to destroy the village. They took everything form us and killed so many. That's why I hate them so much!"

"Monster? Then, the mark on the ground is from it?" Usopp aksed.

"Yes. That's the monster's footprint. It is a huge creature. They said that they brought it from the Grand Line!" the boy explained.

"They have a giant monster?" Usopp asked.

"I was going to Arlong's Park too, but that woman stopped me! She's a witch! I'll even kill her too!" the boy explained.

"Then go ahead and die," the girl said.

"What?" Usopp asked.

"Do the best you can and get killed doing it. As long as you did your best, you've taken revenge for your father," Nojiko explained, "But you must remember that the reason the woman stopped you is to save you."

"Huh?" the boy responded.

"Just drink your tea and leave. I don't like stupid people!" Nojiko said.

"Don't be to hard on him! He's just a kid!" Usopp yelled.

"It makes no difference if you're a kid or an adult! If you want to die like a dog, then go! Just because you lost the will to live!" Nojiko yelled.

"What did you say?" Usopp asked.

"I know of a child, who has left her dreams and chose to live rather than to die," Nojiko explained, "That's why I hate people like him! A person who does not care about living life as he should be!"

"Then what should I do?" the boy asked.

"Your mother is still alive, right? She must be worried about you," Nojiko replied, "You should go home to her."

Usopp smiled hearing it.

The boy finally headed home.

"You seem like a good person, even though you got tattoos," Usopp said.

"What a negative attitude! Who are you anyways?" Nojiko asked.

"My name is captain Usopp. I'm looking for a girl called Nami," Usopp replied.

"Is that so…" Nojiko said.

Nojiko told Usopp the truth about Nami.

"What? Nami is one of Arlong's crew?" Usopp yelled.

"Yes. Everyone here knows her. In fact, this is where she and I grew up. You see, we're legally adopted sisters," Nojiko explained.

"Wait! You're Nami's sister!" Usopp yelled.

"Yep. Nami and I are orphans. The woman who owned this house adopted us, but she died a long time ago," Nojiko explained, "We use to lived very happily in this village."

"Then why did she join Arlong's Crew? Did she betray the village?"

"Something like that," Nojiko replied.

"Maybe that's the reason why Nami couldn't use Haki," Usopp responded.

"What's Haki?" Nojiko asked.

"It's a special energy created through one's will power," Usopp responded, "To be honest, I don't know exactly what it can do. I just started mastering using it."

"I see," Nojiko responded.

"But it was thanks to it I was able to avoid the Fishmen," Usopp explained.

"I guess that makes sense," Nojiko responded, "So what's your business with Nami?"

"Never mind about that. If what you've said is true, it means we've been tricked all along. Nami wanted our treasure right from the start," Usopp explained, "I can't believe she helped save my village, shared alchohol with us, and look happy too."

"Happy? She's happy?" Nojiko asked.

"After I get my ship back, I'm getting out of here," Usopp responded.

"That's a good idea. If you messed with those fishmen, you'll get hurt and bring trouble for others too," Nojiko explained, "By the way is that your ship outside the window?"

Usopp look and saw it.

It turned out the farm was between two villages from east and west, with the Going Merry south from them.

"Oh no!" Usopp yelled.

"What is it?" Nojiko asked.

"I forgot that one of my friends: Zoro, was captured by the fishmen. Even if I leave, one of my other friends: Luffy won't leave him there," Usopp responded.

"That could be trouble," Nojiko agreed.

"Well Luffy, he is a powerful Haki user, and he has strange powers," Usopp explained, "But Zoro could use Haki too, but it didn't seem to help him."

"Does all your friends know how to use Haki?" Nojiko asked.

"Well, all my friends that are members of my crew does," Usopp responded, "But Luffy is the best Haki user I know of. He was the one who taught it to Zoro and me, although I do admit that Zoro is better at using Haki than me."

"Sounds like one of those two should be captain," Nojiko said.

"hehehe," Usopp laughed nervously as he didn't want to admit that Luffy was actually the captain and he was actually second in command.
