Brook and Franky stayed on the ship to guard the ship and to not freak out the islanders.

Luffy looked down to the quiet village and nudge Usopp, "Why don't you go there yelling 'Pirates are coming,' like you use to do?"

Usopp nodded and ran down yelling loudly, "Pirates coming!" over and over.

Villagers came running out, for once not angry at Usopp, "Usopp you are back' 'Where have you been for the last 5 years?' Than everyone went silent as they saw the King's famous straw hat on Usopp's head.

Luffy came walking behind Usopp, "Usopp I want meat!" in a whine begging tone.

Zoro said in gruff tone, "Just point out the bar and I will keep eye on him."

The freak out villagers pointed out the way to the bar. Luffy ran off screaming, "Meat!" Zoro slowly trailed behind him.

One of the villagers said, "Wow we were wondering where you were at the begin Usopp. Kaya and Merry finally told us the truth when your wanted poster came out."

Usopp scratched the back of his head, "I told them not to tell you so you wouldn't worry. The ones who helped were the Vegetable Pirates, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami."

The villagers bowed, "Thank you for protecting us even after we threaten to kill you."

"Its nothing I live this village and everyone here."

"Hey Usopp where is the pretty ladies." Sanji and the others starting walking up. Chopper was in Walking Point to look like a normal reindeer.

Robin smiled, "I will like to be show the book store to read the history."

Chopper stumped his hoof also wanting to read the medicine books. Robin laid a hand on his shoulder.

Nami stepped forward, "Robin, Chelsea, Chopper, Sabo, and Sanji you go shopping. Chopper you can find the others by their scent. The rest of us can go meet up with Kaya and Merry. Sanji, Sabo I leave captain with you."

Everyone nodded and split up.

Robin, Chelsea, and Chopper headed to the book store. Chopper was now in his Heavy Point to look like a very hairy man. He said, "I wonder what kind of books they have here. Chelsea what books do you like to read?"

Chelsea been carried by Robin said, "I like books about animals or about wind."

They opened the door to a book store and first they saw on sell was a manga with Soge King on it. There was even figure actions of Soge King and Going Merry. Robin smiled, "Looks like Mr. Long-Nose is very popular."

Chelsea asked, "Mommy why is there a different ship than Sunny?"

"That was our first ship Going Merry. She came very hurt on the way back from Enis Lobby and Mr Captain gave her a Viking Funeral (Where I cry each time watching it in the anime)."

Chopper added in, "Usopp told me Gecko Island was the place where Going Merry came their ship."

Chelsea picked up a figure and inspected, "I see Miss Nami's tangerines."

Chopper pointed at the Lamb's head and said, "That was Luffy's special seat, nobody was allow to sit on it, not even Zoro."

"Mommy can I get a Going Merry model?"

Robin nodded and the rest of the time they spent looking for books to get.

Sanji and Sabo were walking down the street when Sanji asked, "Has Luffy always had this power?"

Sabo turned to look at him, "The power to have anyone come his friend no matter how much they dislike him?" Sanji nodded, "Yup, Luffy did the same with Ace and I. We were about to let him die but his words affected us."

Sanji smile and said, "If it weren't for him I think none of us will have willing to follow our dream. Nami will still be enslaved by Arlong. I will still be working but Baratie will be gone."

"What was your dream?"

Sanji smile, "All Blue, the aquarium has the sea water for fish to live together.

"I bet it was hard to believe Luffy will become the Pirate King. When he was 7 he always lost and had no control of his powers."

Sanji laughed, "Luffy still causes problems with his powers. Stretching too far and falling into the ocean. I don't know how many times I have to save that idiot from drowning." He rubbed the back of his neck, "As he believed in our crazy dreams, we also believed in his dream."

Sabo smiled, "Ace used to hated his life and fear people knowing who his real father was but Luffy was excited that Roger was Ace's father."

Sanji stared down at the road, "I couldn't believe Ace died right in front of Luffy. I wanted to run to Luffy's side and comfort him."

Sabo nodded, "I know what you mean. Dragon had to knock me out to keep me from running over to Marine Headquarters. That night I drank the most I ever did in my life."

They continue shopping lost in their own memory but they made a bound together now.

Luffy and Zoro in a booth that was in a corner. Zoro ordered himself a sake while Luffy ordered every piece of meat on the menu. Luffy was stuffing his face with food.

Zoro took a sip of his drink and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Luffy was half way done eating and sighed, "I don't know, I am really sad that Usopp is leaving but I understand his feelings."

Zoro said, "The burden of a captain but you are the one who can keep us together, we will all miss him but as long as keep him in our memories he will never be forgotten."

Luffy shoved another plate down his throat and said, "Thanks Zoro for cheering me up."

"No problem."

Sanji and Sabo walked in with shopping bags. Sanji said, "Come on you two, Nami left me charge of getting you to Kaya's place."

Luffy stuffed down the last dish while Zoro paid for the meal. Luffy took a deep breath and said, "Alright lets make Usopp's last day us the best!"

"Aye!" Everyone replied in unison

Usopp and Nami headed up to the gates of the mansion. Usopp was shaking in excitement and nervousness. He wonder out loud, "Do you think she will love me back? Will she be mad that Merry was treated so badly?"

Nami turned and glared at him, "Will you ever stop blaming yourself for what happen to Merry? If you remember his words was, 'I was happy to carry you so far.'"

"But if I was just better repairman..."

Nami was about to say something when a voice was heard behind them, "Usopp is that you?"

Usopp turned around to see Kaya and merry coming up the path. Kaya ran forward and collide into Usopp with a massive hug, tears running down her face, "I miss you."

After recovering from shock, Usopp returned the hug, burying his face in her hair, "I miss you too, I never once forgotten about you."

"Captain Usopp!" Three young teenagers came running all holding shopping bags."

Usopp turned to look at them, "Is that really you guys, Ninjin, Tamanegi, and Piiman? You guys got so much older!"

Piiman smiled and said, "We kept doing what you did every day 'Pirates are coming!'" Piiman was the tallest with green hair.

Tamanegi pulled out a hand written book, "We knew you will return one day. I been practicing my writing so I wrote book about our adventures for you." Tamanegi had light brown hair. He had a bag where he kept the book. A pencil behind a ear.

Usopp toke the book and smiled, "Thanks guys, I will start reading it right a way."

Ninjin said, "And you guys got to tell us about your adventures,"

Usopp nodded, "I will tell you about it from the day I left to the day I return."

Merry cane up and asked, "So you guys really found the One Piece, it wasn't a legend?"

Usopp scratched the back of his head, "Well..." Looking over to Nami for helped but she had no answer also.

Luffy came walking up with the others while saying, "No One Piece is real but there no way explaining the treasure. You got to see it for yourself to understand the treasure."

All the boys turned around and cheered, "We knew you will become the Pirate King! Congrats Luffy!"

Luffy smiled, "Thanks you guys, I couldn't have done it without my nakama."

Nami looked at Robin and nodded, Nami behind Usopp and Robin behind Kaya. With one pushed Usopp and Kaya were push into a kiss.

Usopp and Kaya were shock for a second but return the kiss, There were wolf calls from the everyone, even Merry.

They broke away blushing and flush before Usopp said, "Kaya, I really liked you a long ime."

Whistles were heard again from the Straw Hats even Sabo. Nami walked over and beat them all up. She said, "Sorry for the immature crew members of mine."

Kaya shoked her head giggling, "Its OK, they are just teasing their nakama. Why don't you all come in and tell us about your adventures?"

Luffy was about to reply when Nami stopped him, "We got things to do, Usopp can share plenty of stories."

Kaya looked confused before Usopp spoke up, "I am planning to settle down now that I came a brave pirate of the seas."

Kaya came really happy, "That is so awesome, everyone will be so happy that you are staying."

Luffy turned to face away from Usopp while saying, "We will set sail tomorrow afternoon. Everyone gather the supplies we will need, than we set off to Baratie." Luffy speed off in a random direction.

Usopp headed with Kaya to the mansion already telling an outrageous tale about merman. The crew went off in separate directions to do what they were told to to.

Luffy

Luffy sat on the edge of the cliff looking out to the sea, his face was clear of all emotion.

Zoro stepped forward after using Haki to find Luffy. He sat down down next to Luffy without saying anything.

After few moments, Luffy turned to Zoro with a sad look, "Our first crew mate is leaving for ever."

Zoro put a comforting hand on Luffy's shoulder, "Not for ever, he always be with us where it counts the most."

"Its heavy Zoro, I knew some will leave but its still so painful."

There was silence as Luffy leaned against Zoro, "He was like a brother to me, beside you I felt the closest to him."

Zoro said, "Just remember he will always be a nakama no matter how far we are part. There no other marksman like him."

Next Day

Everyone was the dock packing up everything. Usopp and Kaya were watching in silence as Nami shouted orders.

As everyone got done they stood in front of Usopp. Brook sat on the railing playing Usopp's favorite song. Luffy stood with arms cross as he stared at Usopp silently. Chopper was fighting back tears as he buried his head in Nami's pants leg. Nami was wiping away her tears. robin had a comfort hand on Nami's shoulder. Chelsea and Sabo sat with Brook since they really didn't know Usopp. Franky was lifting everything onto the ship. Zoro and Sanji stood next to Luffy been indifferent.

Luffy stepped forward with a sad smile, "I guess this is good bye Usopp."

Usopp step forward and deeply bowed to Luffy, "Thank you for everything you did for me captain. I would never came a brave warrior of the sea without you guys."

Tears started flowing down Luffy's face, "Same to you Usopp, there would be no other sharp shooter like you on my crew. I will tell Yasopp that you are doing well."

Usopp returned the straw hat to Luffy and walked towards Zoro, who was been indifferent by showing no emotions. Usopp bowed to him, "Zoro I couldn't count how many time you saved my life and I could never repay you. Take care of everyone and congrats on been the greatest swordsman."

Zoro smiled and said, "Take care of yourself Usopp and Gecko Island, Nose-Storm Sword will never be forgotten."

Usopp chuckled at that memory as he turned to Nami who was crying. Usopp held out his last design for Nami, "This is one of my most hardest work ever. Its a compass that will work on the Grade Line and New World. Thank you for all the great adventures I had with you."

Nami's eyes widen in shock as she took the compass, "Thank you Usopp, it will come in handy for sure." She pulled out a bag and gave it too Usopp, "Here the beli you earn in last 5 years. Take care Usopp and Kaya."

Usopp walked towards Sanji who was smoking. Usopp smiled, "Thanks for taking care of me. I will miss all your brilliant meals. I will make sure everyone knows the importance of food."

Sanji smiled as he pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Usopp, "Have someone cook these healthy meals for you and your girlfriend once a week, it covers your basic needs. You take care of yourself Usopp."

Usopp turned to Robin, who had a sad smile on her face, Usopp gave her a hug, "Remember to always trust in Luffy and your nakama. The World Government is flea compare to you."

Robin started crying a little, "Thank you Long Nose for that time. You and Kaya take care, have a child or two and enjoy life."

Usopp turned to where Franky lifted a the last supply onto Sunny, "I going miss making inventions with you Franky, take good care of Sunny and Mini Merry."

Franky burst into manly tears, "You take care Usopp-bro. Thousand Sunny will make it to Water Seven and come our dream ship. Mini Merry will be there from start to finish."

Usopp looked over to Brook who was singing 'Blink Sake,' Usopp smiled. "You better find someone else to save you in the water. I going miss your Skull Jokes and your music."

Brook smiled and said, "Farewell Usopp, it was nice meeting you, take care of him Kaya."

Usopp looked down at his best friend Chopper, who was crying. Nami had a hand on his head. Usopp asked, "Can you come with me for a moment Chopper?"

Chopper nodded and they walked off to a field where flowers are growing. They sat down in silence for a few moments.

Usopp smiled and said, "I going miss you the most Chopper, you are truly my best friend."

Chopper nodded his head, "You are my best friend also, I had fun battling side by side with you and hearing all your stories.

Usopp grabbed Chopper into a hug, "You take care Chopper, take care of Luffy and make sure he won't be too reckless. Good luck saving Zoro from hopelessly lost."

Chopper giggled. "I am still working on making that medicine for hopeless idiots."

"The best part of this adventure was making real adventures, coming a brave warrior of the sea, and making the best nakama in the whole world."

Set Sail

Chopper and Usopp headed to Sunny, everyone was on board. Chopper leaped on deck and stood next to Zoro. Usopp stood next to Kaya with an arm around her waist.

Luffy smiled and said, "I guess this is where we part. I got one thing to say Usopp, I never once saw you as a crew member, or I will never forget you or Merry. You will always be a nakama of the Straw Hats."

Zoro stepped forward and threw a flag with Straw Hats mark as Luffy continue "This island is now under the protect of the Straw Hats, take care of the village Usopp with your 800,000,000 men."

Usopp smiled, "Take care Pirate King Luffy, show the world and be free."

Luffy turned and shout "Alright everyone lets sail to Floating Diner Baratie!" As he turned he lifted up his left arm with a X on it.

Everyone turned and lifted up their left arm as ship started moving. Tears grew in Usopp's eyes as he lifted his arm also.

The silent sign of friends forever.

"Take care Usopp and Kaya!"

"We will never forget you, nakama till death.'

"Bye Long Nose."

"Super bye Uso-bro!"

"Bye Usopp"

"Don't tell to many lies!"

"Eat healthy"

"Be a brave warrior of the island."

Usopp burst into tears as he watch them vanish from view. Kaya hugged him in silent comfort.

Good bye Usopp the greatest Sharp Shooter!
