* You closely inspect Usopp. You see that he is still covered in bandages and injured.

"You look determined, but… I hope you don't regret your decision later! This is what you want!" Said Luffy

"Stop pretending and just come get me! I came prepared! I'll beat you!" Said Usopp

"Don't think that I am the same as your previous opponents who knew nothing about you, Luffy! I've been with you for a long time, and… I know you inside out!" Said Usopp

"Can't we stop them? Usopp is hurt really badly!" Said Chopper

"Go inside if you can't watch." Said Zoro

* You feel something clasp onto your hand. You look to see that it's Nami holding onto your hands. She seems nervous and afraid. You have onto hers tighter, hoping that it would alleviate the stress she is feeling. You look back to see that the battle is about to begin.

"Don't be too surprised when I tell you this, Luffy, but… I have 8000 followers waiting for my signal! Surrender now if you don't want to die!" Lied Usopp

"Oh my god~! 8000 people!?" Said Chopper

"You should go inside." Said Zoro deadpanned

"I am pretty sure you're just lying, Usopp! Gomu gomu no…!" Said Luffy charging towards Usopp

Usopp coughed what looked to be blood out of his mouth, prompting Luffy to stop in his tracks.

"Usopp!" Cried Nami and Chopper

"See! See! See! I told you he's hurt really bad!" Cried Chopper

"Hissatsu Ketchup Star! It's foolish to pity your enemy and leave yourself vulnerable!" Said Usopp

* Usopp used ketchup to pretend that he was bleeding, leaving Luffy unguarded.

"Flash Dial!" Said Usopp, causing a bright flashlight to blind Luffy

* Usopp proceeds to distract Luffy with rotten eggs, spicy pepper, and caltrops, declaring that he will beat Luffy and get the going Merry. There is smoke surrounding Luffy.

"Heh...Heh…! It's a breeze dial! I used the rotten egg to stop you from smelling it… While I surrounded you with gas!" Said Usopp

* You all find out what he is going to do.

"Gas!" Said Sanji

"He's going to…!" Said Nami

"Flame Star!"

* Usopp launches a slingshot coated in fire, igniting the gas into a massive explosion

* The whole ship sways from the explosion, and everyone covers their eyes from the light.

* Once the explosion subsided, there was smoke covering the entire area.

"Luffy! Usopp!" Cried Nami

* You see Luffy lying on the floor battered up from the explosion. He looks subdued. You know that it's not the injuries that are causing him to make that face. You look at Merry; you see that she is crying as she doesn't want this to happen.

"I really don't like this…." Said Nami holding on to Frisk's hand tighter

"I know… You won't get… Knocked out so easily… Luffy!" Said Usopp loading his slingshot

* After a series of blows back and forth, Usopp uses the impact dial to reflects Luffy's bazooka.

"Uwaaaa!" Yelled Usopp in pain of the recoil

"Take that. Damn it!" Said Usopp

* Luffy did not fall backward; instead stared right into Usopp's eyes. You see that the battle is about to conclude.

"Gomu Gomu no… Bullet!" Yelled Luffy punching straight at Usopp's Stomach.

Everyone watched as Usopp collapsed onto the floor.

"It's decided then…." Said Zoro

"Haa…. You stupid idiot…! There's no way! That you'll win!" Yelled Luffy

Luffy picked up the straw hat, starting to walk back towards the group.

"I can't…. Take this….!" Cried Nami

"...Do whatever you want with the Going Merry." Said Luffy

"...!"

"We'll get a new ship… and we'll go into the seas ahead!" Said Luffy

"Goodbye, Usopp. It's been... fun," Said Luffy.

"Usopp!" Cried Chopper trying to jump off the ship, but Sanji stopped Chopper

"Hey! Stop, Chopper!" Said Sanji

"...! Why! He was in pieces to start with and got beaten up like that…!" Said Chopper

"This is not just a fight or a game!" Said Sanji

"So what! I'm a doctor! Let me at least look at his wounds!" Said Chopper trying to get Sanji off him

Sanji slammed Chopper against the deck.

"He lost a duel and was then pitied… Think about how he must feel right now! Think about how this kind of kindness pains the 'loser'! He entered this fight knowing that this might happen!" Said Sanji

Luffy arrived back at the front of the ship.

"Heavy…!" Said Luffy starting to cry

"That's what a captain is…!" Said Zoro

"Don't hesitate. If you can't be decisive, who can we believe in?!" Said Zoro

Chopper jumped down the ship running towards Usopp to drop medicine in front of him, and started to run back.

"Let's clear the ship… We can't… Return to this ship ever again," Said Zoro

"Let's… go to the girl's room, Frisk…." Said Nami, still in tears

* You nod your head; it's time to go. You and the others proceed to pack everything and head out. However, before you get off the ship, you leave a letter in the middle of the boat in hopes that Usopp will find it. You cling on to hope that things will get better.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Usopp went back to the ship physically and mentally exhausted. Yet, he got Merry like he wanted. So why wasn't he happy?

"..."

The answer was clear. He lost all his friends in progress because of his stupid pride, and he crossed the line.

"Hahaha... I'm so pathetic.." Said Usopp

He noticed something shuffling on the floor and saw that it was something white. An envelope stuck between the floorboards. Usopp went to grab it and opened the envelope. There was a letter inside it.

Dear Usopp

It's me, Frisk. I came back to say goodbye. I wish we met in better circumstances. However, I'm not only writing a letter to you because of that. I also am writing to tell you the truth, The truth about what happened on Skypiea island. The truth is that someone was already repairing the ship like you saw that night. And it was Merry's soul. Merry was fixing herself so that she could take us as far as she can for our journey. She told me that she was almost at the end of her trip because she was not made to survive in the grand line. However, she was so happy to go so far with everyone and only wished to go further with us. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you and the others sooner, but Merry didn't want you to worry. It was truly fun being with you, Usopp. I hope that you find your own happy ending.

Sincerely, Frisk

"...!"

Usopp slammed his hands onto the floor.

"Just…. What the hell… Have I been doing…?!" Screamed Usopp

Usopp screamed and cried until his voice gave out, and there were no more tears to come out.

"Just…. What should I do….?" Said Usopp

There was no reply, though, as he was alone.
