Me- the last chapter was a bit fluff with some character background. As the story goes on you will learn more about Leif's character and of course a new character will be appearing soon so be prepared, and by new I mean oc oriented I have planned the appearance officially for after the Leif arch which is to bring a better character background and such. Also remember chapter 10 opens up the contest which I'm still figuring out. Let me know if you're interested via pming me. I can't wait till the two year time-skip, Leif's totally badass as far as character design goes. I wish I could draw, but I can only look at a picture and draw from that which means I need a lot more practice. Anyway enjoy!

Chapter 7: Honorable Liar? Captain Usopp!
(Opening: We are! By the straw hat pirates)
"Nami, I'm telling you it's not like that!" Leif yelled at the navigator who was in the middle of teasing her after waking up to a cute display of Leif and Luffy sleeping against each other.
"It sure looked like it was something." Nami spoke while giggling. Zoro just decided to stay out of it while Luffy was just confused by it all.
"It wasn't, I don't even like him that way." Leif argued while Nami merely smiled before regaining her composure.
"Ok, in all seriousness, we need a ship if we are to travel the grand line." Nami addressed the three. She had formed an alliance with them, but she didn't officially join the crew.
"We already have one don't we?" Luffy questioned as Leif hit him.
"Idiot, she means an actual ship, much bigger than this, with a kitchen, and rooms to sleep." Leif spoke while daydreaming.
"Ouch Leif, you were so much nicer last night." Luffy yelled as Nami had a Cheshire cat like grin.
"I just said nothing's going on." Leif snapped as Zoro broke the silence that followed.
"Right now, all we need is a ship, so let's stop at the next island and see what we can do," Zoro spoke while Leif started to tear up. "Oi, why you crying?"
"Because it's just so sad, Zoro's the only one who's actually being reasonable." Leif cried as Zoro hit her on top of her head.
"Ouch, stupid moronic swordsman." Leif snapped as she hit him back.
"Well, Princess you wanna go don't you?" Zoro questioned sharply while they glared at each other.
"Stop fighting!" Nami snapped while hitting the two leaving big bumps on their heads.
"What was that for?" Zoro questioned while rubbing the bump that was now on his head.
"For being idiots, stop the fighting and start thinking for once, besides we are almost at the island." Nami spoke while the boat was settling on shore.
"What a nice island!" Leif exclaimed while smiling brightly.
"Stay where you are pirates!" A voice called causing the group to turn toward a man with a rather long nose.
"My name is Usopp, and I have around 80 million men ready to come out and squash you." The man announced as Luffy looked at him in surprise; honestly believing every word he said.
"Is he joking?"Leif questioned as Nami stepped forward.
"You're lying, I can see right through it." Nami proclaimed while Usopp began to panic that he was found out. Usopp then brought out his slingshot ready to slingshot a pinball at Luffy.
"This is just like a shot gun; it will hurt and will break skin." Usopp spoke as he kept his aim steady.
"Oi, give it a break already." Leif spoke while charging toward the boy as he laughed his pinball toward Luffy which was immediately sent flying back to which Usopp dodged it.
"You're not normal." Usopp complained as he glared at the straw hat captain who was straightening his hat which was now as good as new thanks to Nami whom had worked on it while everyone was sleeping.
"Neither are you long nose!" Leif argued as Usopp glared at the girl whom sent one right back. Luffy stares at Usopp as he turns the captain's way.
"We are real pirates, and you can bet your life on it." Luffy quoted as he remembered it from Shanks.
"I admit that speech is quite intimidating." Usopp admitted.
"Shanks said it once." Luffy spoke as he started to see a resemblance between Usopp and a certain crew member on Shank's ship.
"Shanks." Usopp speaks softly as Luffy nods,
"Yeah, one of his crew members was a hell of a sniper like you, his name was Yasopp; you look like him a lot." Luffy spoke as Usopp laughed a bit.
"He's my father after all, um… you're welcome to come into the village, we can sit down somewhere and talk some more." Usopp said having a change of heart.
"Oi, you're not gonna try anything funny are you?" Leif questioned as Usopp shook his head.
"I think we are ok." Zoro spoke as Leif looked back at the moss head.
"Don't worry, I'm not that type of person, you can trust me." Usopp spoke as Leif looked up to see him holding out his hand.
"Big nose?" Leif questioned as a tick mark appeared on his head.
"Usopp, its Usopp." He snapped as Leif giggled before smiling sincerely causing Usopp to blush slightly.
"I guess I'll give you a chance, Usopp." Leif spoke as she shook his hand.
The straw hat pirates eventually arrived at the restaurant as Luffy told stories about Yasopp, and about how often he would mention his son. Nami soon decided to break the story telling as soon as she remembered there targeted objective.
"Usopp, is there anywhere we can get a ship?" Nami questioned as Usopp immediately ran off.
"Why the hell did he run off?" Leif questioned nobody in particular.
A little while after a bunch of kids come in but are in shock when they think the worst has happened to their beloved captain Usopp.
"You ate Usopp!" One cried out as he pointed at Luffy as Leif looked at the little kids while blushing. She loved cute things and that meant little kids, she thought it was adorable that they thought Luffy ate Usopp.
"I think you are mistaken little boys, but Usopp wasn't eaten, he ran off somewhere." Leif spoke calmly to the boys as they looked at the girl as there tears seized.
"Miss, you're really kind." One of the boys spoke as Leif smiled, trying her best from hugging the little child to death from cuteness overload.
"Shishishi, Leif you're not acting like yourself again." Luffy laughed as Leif went over to him, punching him on the head in the process.
"Shut up, stupid!" Leif snapped as the kids cowered in fear. Leif immediately sat in depression after seeing there expressions.
"Kids, do you know where we can find Usopp?" Nami questioned as the kids nodded, ready to lead the way.
"Kids don't like you, Princess." Zoro laughed as Leif stomped on Zoro's foot which made him yelp, lifting it up to rub the pain away.
"Watch what you say, you moronic swordsman, or one day it'll be to the point where you can't have children." Leif spoke in a deadly manner. Zoro gulped, Leif had never been that angry before when he made those types of comments, but he figured it was because she seemed to like kids.
The group eventually arrived at a mansion where the kids stopped with big smiles, one of them decided to speak.
"This is Kaya's mansion, Usopp comes here all the time to tell her lies in order to cheer her up since her parents died and she had become ill."
"Usopp is actually a kind person isn't he?" Leif spoke while smiling softly.
"Are you bi-polar, because you were mad just a second ago!?" Zoro questioned while staying away from her in case she blew up.
"Sometimes I get mad, but what makes you think it's that kind of reason, and maybe I got mad because I love kids and what you said irritated me." Leif spoke in anger as Zoro merely whistled.
"Let's go inside." Luffy said as Nami and the others stared at him for a moment. Luffy immediately wrapped his arms around Leif, and Zoro, with Nami on his right and the two of them on the left. He had then laughed them over and into the ground of the mansion.
"Idiot." Leif and Nami commented while punching him on the head in unison.
"What are you guys doing here?" Usopp questioned as he jumped down from a tree he had been standing in.
"You ran off so suddenly." Nami spoke.
"You said I could trust you, so we were lead here by a bunch of kids insisting you're there captain, it was so cute." Leif smiled happily while thinking about the cuteness of the little kids.
"I'm sorry I ran off, but you must leave now." Usopp panicked while trying to rush them all out.
"Why are you trying to get us out of here?" Zoro questioned until his questioned was answered by a voice.
"Intruders!"
(Ending: Life is like a boat by Rie Fu)
Me- I hope Leif is likeable, I feel like I'm not developing her character the right way but if you guys like her then I guess I'm doing a good job. I thought I'd make Leif into cute things which oppose her personality half the time. She's a bit rough as you can tell. Anyway thank you everyone for all the reviews and I hope to get more, I plan to reply to some next chapter. Again please let me know what you think of Leif, I need this and remember chapter 10 is coming up soon be prepared for a challenge.
