"HEY GIVE ME THAT!" Usopp exclaimed almost tackling Yasopp.
The two had risen early to get back to Yasopp's crew, and first now had Usopp noticed that Yasopp had taken his kabuto. And now he was all over Yasopp reaching for his weapon.
"In a moment I just wanted to have a closer look." Yasopp snorted.
"You don't take another mans weapon!" Usopp exclaimed hitting Yasopp up the head.
"What's this boy?" Yasopp snorted. "Is that a way to treat your rescuer?" he asked.
"Who ever said I needed rescuing!?" Usopp exclaimed.
"Oh riiiiight, the great sniper king. How could I have forgotten." Yasopp snorted as he rolled his eyes. "That's cute boy." He smirked.
"All-right that's it! Stop treating me like a little child!" Usopp hissed and charged for the older man, and soon both of them was in a big brawl, falling down the hill in front of them, both hissing and kicking each other.
That was until Yasopp at last won by having caught Usopp in a full arm lock. "You are strong and well trained I give you that." Yasopp smirked. "But you are still at a point of starvation, what-ever lesson you are trying to teach me right now boy, you better give it up."
Usopp hissed as he laid with his nose buried in the ground. "Mmmdfjldk." He managed to say.
"What?" Yasopp asked in a satisfied grin.
"I SAID GET OFF ME!" Usopp exclaimed raising his head.
"Oh, I thought you were enjoying a bit of dirt for breakfast." Yasopp at last smirked as Usopp stood up and brushed himself free of dirt. "Here!" Yasopp exclaimed throwing Usopp's kabuto back to him. "Be more careful with your precious weapon, any-one could just be sneaking up on you taking it."
"Yeah, but it would be absolutely useless in any-ones hand but mine." Usopp snorted. "It's a very unique designed for me and me alone." He told proudly.
"So it's one of the kind huh?" Yasopp noted in a frown. "Then what would happen if some-one.. BROKE IT!" and by that he snatched Usopp's kabuto away from him again.
"NO NO! DON'T BREAK IT!" Usopp exclaimed as Yasopp held it. "I swear if you break it, I will make you pay!" Usopp hissed.
"But how would you do that without your only weapon?" Yasopp asked with a lifted eye-brow as he span the Kabuto.
"BAKA! I got other weapons!" Usopp hissed. "For that matter I can use any sniper weapon invented, you really think a gun like yours would confuse the snot out of me?" he asked.
"Then why this over-grown slingshot?" Yasopp asked casually.
"Because it's my weapon!" Usopp exclaimed as he stomped in the ground. "I designed it and build it with my own hands! To fit my fighting style, my ammunation! I designed it to have so many other uses than just dull bullets." He hissed.
"You designed and build it?" Yasopp asked, an unwillingly tone of being impressed entering his voice as he looked at the kabuto a new. "Well then you can't be such a big idiot after-all." Yasopp noted as he tryingly pulled in the string, but had to stop before long as Yasopp lacked the arm strength and training to pull it as long back as Usopp usually did. Surprised Yasopp blinked at the object. "Good craftsman's ship." He noted turning it in his hand. "And obviously she has been used a lot, but has been taken good care of." Yasopp commented brushing a dent in the handle. "Resourceful." He commented reaching the Kabuto back to Usopp. "But I sincerely doubt it has a great a range as a gun." He commented dryly.
"HAH, that's what you think." Usopp smirked.
"All-right then." Yasopp shrugged as he pulled his own gun. "You see the banana palm over there?" he asked pointing to his left.
Usopp pulled up his goggles as he squinted his eyes. "Hai, that's certainly far away." He had to admit as the tree was barely visible in front of him.
"Be prepared to get some bananas for breakfast." Yasopp grinned as he fired his gun, where-after a big chunk of bananas fell down from the palm, the Yasopp blew the smoke off, swung it around and settled it as he grinned.
Usopp how-ever had all-ready loaded his Kabuto as he was aiming the same direction, strechted it out to its absolute limit, and then fired.
Yasopp squinted his eyes at the tree. "You missed." He commented.
Usopp shrugged. "We shall see." He smiled.
Together they walked towards the banana palm, and Yasopp smiled by the cluster of Bananas, which had obviously been shoot down as you could see from the burning wine. "So where's your bullet boy?" Yasopp asked in a smirk.
Usopp grinned as he used the long end of his kabuto, to split the tall grass in front of them, to reveal a large tiger laying there having been knocked unconscious by the stone still planted in its forehead, right between the big tigers eyes.
"WAARGH!" Yasopp exclaimed in a very Usopp like manner, standing on one leg having both arms raised. "I didn't even see that tiger! How could you see it!?" he asked Usopp.
"Tch." Usopp grinned resting the Kabuto on his shoulder. "I spend two years on a island populated by creatures much bigger than that, always wanting to eat me, I had to stay alert every second of the day and find other tactics to notice the beasts before they noticed me. I've learned." He grinned crossing his arms.
"Sounds like a lie to me." Yasopp commented.
"IT'S NOT A LIE!" Usopp exclaimed. "geesh, I really have changed over time." He muttered ruffling his hair. "It used to be genuine lies I could make people believe, and now people wont believe the truth I am telling them." He mumbled. "I reaaally have lost my edge." He muttered picking up a banana to peel it and take a well-deserved bite.
"That's how it is spending that long a time being a pirate at the grand-line and the new world boy." Yasopp sighed as he sat down on a tree-stump taking a banana himself. "The things you see are so incredible that it's hard to believe, you just have to see it for yourself." He grinned. "It's the most amazing wonders out there, and there is always more to discover, more to explore. How is it even possible to be settled with any-thing else after that?" Yasopp asked as he leaned back.
"Is that why you left your home and family?" Usopp asked.
Yasopp blinked. "What?" he asked looking astounded at Usopp.
"You did leave your family didn't you?" Usopp asked.
Yasopp starred at usopp for a while as he blinked, then turned his eyes away. "I don't see how that is any of your buisness boy." He muttered.
"So you don't have a family you left behind?" Usopp asked.
"I did not mean to just leave. I fully intended to come back shortly." Yasopp snorted, then silenced surprised. Clearly he had not been meaning to say that, and Usopp looked questionable at him. "All-right, all-right." Yasopp hissed. "I have a wife and a son, there! Happy?" he asked.
Usopp merely looked at him, with wondering eyes as he silently asked the next question. "Why didn't you come back shortly as you intended?" he asked. "Why are you still out here? It's an awful long way from the eastern blue." Usopp pointed out.
"Well you are a pirate aren't you, you know how it is!" Yasopp muttered. "Always a new adventure starting, and suddenly the time just goes by and you have no idea where it went to!" he hissed. "What does it matter to you any-way? Quit poking around boy! Wait…" Yasopp stopped as he blinked. "How on earth did you know my family are supposed to be at the eastern blue?" he asked as he squinted his eyes at Usopp. "answer me boy!" he demanded in a threatening tone. "And if you are a spying marine you better start praying now!"
Usopp sighed as he leaned back against the tree reaching for a second banana. "Well I guess fair is fair old man." He muttered peeling his banana, yet averting his eyes from the pirate. "I wasn't lying to you, I really am a pirate, and a part of the straw-hat crew. I was one of their very first members almost three years ago." Usopp explained. "They picked me up back at the eastern blue where I was living on a tiny island and erh…" Usopp swallowed. "That island was syrup island, it's my home island." Usopp told daring to glance up at Yasopp whom was still looking intensely at him. "Of cause my name isn't 'sogeking' I made that up a long time ago, and I just Havn't been able to shake that figure ever since, my actual name though is Usopp."
And that made Yasopp's eyes widen. "What?" he asked.
Usopp sighed deeply. "I'm Usopp." He told. "And I was lead to believe that you were… erh.. are.." he swallowed. "My father." He finally confessed.
Yasopp was dumbstruck, he just starred at Usopp.. for a very long time the two just sat there, in complete and utter silence.
"Please say some-thing." Usopp then at last asked, he was almost ready to beg.
Yasopp shook his head as he blinked, then looked to his left. "Well then, come on boy. My ship shouldn't be long from here." He told and then just stood up and started walking away.
Usopp blinked as he saw Yasopp starting to make his way away from their spot. "Hai.." Usopp then mumbled silently. He didn't even know what he had expected. That probably was quite a bomb to drop like that, but what else could he have done? And silently with his head bowed, Usopp followed Yasopp, to hopefully soon meet the rest of shanks the reds crew.
