Where am I? It's been hours and I still can't find anything. Dang it!

Usopp walked around the vast forest. Passing tree after tree in hopes of seeing slightly different scenery. But when he saw the same tree he passed 2 hours ago. He felt like giving up.

Come on.. be a man and push forward! Who am I kidding I can't! I'm not Luffy! Maybe I should just rest hear for the night?

Usopp considered the thought and took a second to look at his surroundings. Nothing but trees and bushes around but he realized he was standing in a small clearing. He decided it would be best to sleep here for the night and get back to searching for a town tomorrow.


It was morning. The sun was out, the birds were chirping. To anyone it would bring them pure bliss. Except for the long nosed man.

He was still sleeping. Dreaming about finding his crew again, and fast.

He started to shift and his eyes slowly opened. He became more aware as he looked at his surroundings.

I'm really here eh? Damn. At least nothing tried to eat me.

He spoke to soon when he felt a heat against his chest. It felt like a tongue.

"GGaaahhh!!!" , he screamed. Purely awake and jumping back from the contact and landing on his ass. His head smashed into a tree right behind him and he winced in pain. He put a hand to it. Luckily there was no bruising.

He took a peek at the view in front of him to see what was licking him. What he saw made him embarrassed.

"Mew!" The raccoon squeaked. Then it licked its paw and purred.

"I can't believe I was scared of you! Your just a raccoon! A baby at that! " Usopp laughed to himself. He then extended his hand to pet the little guy.

The raccoon leaned into the touch and gave little mewls at the affection.

"Wow, you're so cute!" he pet behind the creatures ear and smiled warmly.

"Well since your so entranced by the great Usopp I guess it's only necessary that I give you a name! How about Warrior, or King!?" Usopp asked the small being.

The creature stared back with innocent eyes not having any idea what he was talking about.

"Fine! I see you're picky! I won't give you a name then rascal!" Usopp retorted. He then heard mewls from the raccoon and wondered why he was reacting such a way. He then understood.

"Oh! So you like rascal huh? Well since you like it so much I might as well-

Then he stopped. He then remember his mission. He retracted his hand from the adorable ball of fluff and stood up and started walking away.

"Goodbye Rascal! I hope we meet again!"

He started to walk through the forest when he saw the same raccoon in front of him. It seemed to be eyeing him. Telling him to follow it. Even though Usopp knew this was a stupid decision, he followed any way. It was better than walking in circles.

He started to think about the events of the night before last...

It was storming wildly. The water was rapid and there was no land in sight to sail to. So the straw hats had to manage the best they could. Everyone was inside, trying to keep things in check. Everyone besides Usopp.

He decided to keep a look out. He liked this type of weather and it brought him peace of mind. It reminded him of home. He missed Kaya and the Usopp pirates. However he would return to them as Usopp the mighty warrior of the sea!

Everything was going fine until the ship hit a big wave and Usopp fell overboard. Into the deep blue sea. He tried to yell but the water kept rising over his mouth. His vision was disrupted by the water. He was completely helpless. He felt the world give out after a while.

He woke up on a bare shore. He clothes were in shambles and his skin was slimy. He shuddered at the sight.

He rose from where he was laying and saw a thick forest around him. Shining from the morning sun. He looked at it for a moment and decided the best of action would be to find a town.

A town had food, a town had clothes, and most importantly it had people. Maybe they could help him find his crew or at least tell him where he was.

He took a step and then began his journey of -

"Mew Mew!"

Usopp woke himself from his trance and looked at the small being.

"Hmm? What are you so happy about I don't see any-"

Usopp stopped his speech midway as he saw what was behind Rascal.

A huge, bustling city,it seemed so out of place. He stood there for a second just looking at the sight with Rascal climbing to his shoulder, making it his personal perch.

That made Usopp wake up to reality and he took a step forward.

This will be the first step in finding my crew. I will find you guys. Wait for me.

And with that he entered completely. The forest left behind.
