After skipping the opening, there wasn't a title card, but instead there was a lovely scene of the sun rising as it shined upon a little village, birds chirping.

"Well, this seems to be nice." Toshinori complemented, though the peacefulness was ruined with-

"Terrible news, everyone! Pirates are attacking!"

Running throughout the town was this lanky-looking guy with a long nose as his most notable feature. He screamed about pirates, warning everyone of their arrival.

Then the title card finally came up; "The Honorable Liar? Captain Usopp!"

"I'm guessing Long Nose here is our 'honorable liar?'" Hizashi smirked.

"Please don't tell me he joins the crew." Katsuki complained.

"So, wait, is the town not getting attacked by pirates?" Toru asked. "If it's not, then that's a relief."

Out at sea, Nami warned Luffy and Zoro that they shouldn't head for the Grand Line now. Luffy agreed, saying they should have meat while Zoro wanted booze.

"You need a more balanced meal than that!" Iida informed them, though there's no way for the characters to hear him.

Nami told them that they need powerful ships and equipments if they want more members, which Luffy added he wants a cook and a musician. Zoro laughed at the mention of a musician.

"Hey, don't come to me when you're bored." Hizashi complained, kind of playfully, while Jiro slightly narrowed her eyes.

Nami claimed there was an island with people on it just a little to the south of them, hoping they could get a real boat there, though Luffy and Zoro just wanted meat and booze.

Back to the little village, the long nosed guy continued to scream about pirates until he was exhausted, but then he happily revealed that was all a lie! A pan was thrown at him.

"Oh thank god." Katsuki sighed in relief as everyone looked on.

Apparently, this kid is so infamous that he's wanted by the whole town, and he just relishes in it, running away from the entire town.

"Is he a masochist?" Mineta stared, dumbfounded by the guy.

"I... I can't tell." Denki said.

Hiding in the trees, he was glad for what apparently he considers as a job; bringing excitement to this village. Then he noticed these veggie themed kids, who called him 'Captain Usopp,' and they're part of the Usopp Pirates.

"Who names their kids after vegetables?" Aizawa said when Usopp introduced the kids as 'Pepper' and 'Carrot.'

"Well, the Usopp Pirates isn't a very creative name itself, so I'm guessing that's something the whole town shares." Hizashi chuckled.

"Well, it kind of looks like they're just pretending to be pirates." Toshinori shrugged. "Don't act like you've never pretended as a kid." His gaze turned to the students, causing quite a few to blush a shade of red, especially Izuku.

Just as Usopp ask about Onion, a kid with an onion-shaped head came running towards them, telling them news of pirates coming at the north shore.

At first, they didn't believe Onion, but upon saying it's the truth, Usopp ran away, saying that it's time for a snack and lying that he has "I'll-Die-if-I-Don't-Eat-My-Snacks-iosis."

"That's not how you use -iosis." Iida sighed.

"Welp, tell me when this is over." Katsuki attempted to take a nap on the couch, but suddenly a pillow was thrown at him. "Okay, who did that?!"

"No, you must watch." Surprisingly enough, it was from Aoyama.

The kids have called him out on it for not being a pirate. It doesn't help that one of the boats have the mark of Buggy the Clown.

Before Usopp ran away, Onion mentioned there were only two small boats and three people, which instantly gave him the courage to protect the village.

"You should be thankful that's it's just Luffy and the others because Luffy's a saint compared to Red Nose." Katsuki grumbled.

"You're not going to be like this the entire arc, right?" Kirishima sighed.

"He's obviously going to." Mina shrugged.

On dry land, Luffy and his friends planned on going to the village, but Zoro sensed people, which Luffy got excited about.

Suddenly, Zoro told Luffy to watch out as Luffy suddenly dodged something attacking at his feet. Nami ran for the boats as flags came out of the bushes. Luffy was very impressed by this, much to Nami's disgruntle.

Laughing, Usopp came out presenting himself as a great pirate who rule over the village with people praising him. In fact, he has 80 million loyal subordinates.

Hizashi let out a laugh. "Oh my god, if that isn't little kid stuff, then I don't know what is."

Luffy was impressed, but not Nami and Zoro. When Nami knows Usopp is lying, the 'captain' panicked, admitting to it, much to Luffy's shock.

Usopp passed the '80 million' part off as an exaggeration-

"Really? I didn't notice."

-but he still have great men by his side, who were just the three kids. Once Nami saw through that as well, the kids panicked and ran away, much to Usopp's horror.

Nami has never heard of pirates using slingshots, picking up one of the little orbs in the ground. Though he laughed, Luffy thought Usopp's neat.

"Don't encourage him, Straw Hat." Katsuki growled.

Usopp took that as an insult and was about to attack Luffy with his slingshot, but...

"Now that you've drawn your pistol, put your life on the line."

Most of the students smiled ay his words, hearing the similarities to Shanks.

Those words did have an effect on Usopp, shaking as Luffy continued with Zoro by his side.

After the eyecatches, flags fell as Usopp stood there, unable to decide his choice until... he let go, but he didn't shoot, admitting defeat since he was so imitated by their words.

Luffy and Zoro looked at each other and laughed. Luffy admitted he just stolen those lines from Shanks. Usopp was shock that he knew the great pirate Shanks, and Luffy asked if his dad's name is Yasopp.

"Huh, uncreative names run in the family." Iida said.

"...You do realize that your name is Ten-ya and your brother's name is Ten-sei, right?" Todoroki asked rather flatly.

"There's a difference between that and just being uncreative." Katsuki surprisingly defended.

"Are you saying that because your mom's name is Mitsuki, Kacchan?" Izuku asked.

"I'll kill you if you're saying my parents aren't creative, Deku."

"I-I'm not!"

Usopp was so shock by the mention of his father that he fell off the cliff, but still, he asked how Luffy knew.

At a little restaurant called 'Meshi,' the four of them were having a meal as Luffy explained that Yasopp is in Shanks's crew, much to Usopp's amazement. Luffy told him that his dad was a good sharpshooter.

Two memories came up; one of Yasopp shooting an apple from far away, and the other of Yasopp telling young Luffy about his kid, Usopp, though the pirate life was calling him, then he shoved a beer glass over Luffy's head.

"He was in episode 4. Ribbit." Tsuyu remembered.

"Oh god, it was planned." Katsuki groaned.

"It's probably best that he didn't raise Usopp if that's how he treat kids." Shoji said.

Even though Usopp's father abandoned him, Usopp was proud of his dad choosing the life at sea.

"Really?" Visible confusion was on Todoroki's face. "He doesn't resent his father for that?"

"I guess he must be happy that his father is living his life." Kirishima shrugged.

"But why would he have a kid and a wife, then leave them behind?"

No one could answer such a difficult answer, not even the teachers.

Nami asked if Usopp knew anyone who could sail and provide them a big ship, but Usopp pointed out this is just a small village. Then Zoro mentioned a huge mansion on top of a hill. Nami ask if they could pay for their ship, but Usopp demanded they don't go there.

As quick as possible, Usopp left, saying he have a lot of influence around here, leaving Nami to wonder why he was in such a rush.

In the elegant mansion, there was a blond girl in bed and a butler scolding her for wanting to talk to Usopp, especially at her weakened state. Though he scolded Kaya, he did it because he wanted to protect her as her late parents instructed him to do.

Over Momo's sympathetic comment of "Poor girl...", Mineta shouted, "Long Nose has a girlfriend!?"

"Or they could be just friends." Jiro suggested.

"Would Usopp's lies really hurt her?" Denki asked.

"Unless they give her a lot of stress, which by Kaya's reaction, is a no." Izuku said.

"...But he's just being a little worried for her safety." Iida nodded.

As the butler left her room, Usopp was able to sneak through the hedge and visit her, sitting on a branch by her window. Opening her window, Kaya was so happy to see him, apologizing that she can't make him into a real guest since her butler, Klahadore, won't allow it. Usopp wasn't angry though, calling himself a brave warrior of the sea.

The two enjoyed their day as Usopp told her of a tale of when he fought a giant gold fish at the South Pole when he was five.

"It doesn't look like he's doing any harm. Ribbit." Tsuyu said as Iida blinked at the scene in front of him.

Back to the village, the three vegetable kids were sneaking around Meshi, trying to save Usopp. Though they believe the pirates have already grilled and eaten him, one of them corrected that it was old hags who eat people.

When they finally 'attack,' they demanded where Usopp is. Hearing Luffy say about good meat already caused the kids' minds to overdrive as Nami let out a little snicker. Since the Usopp Pirates wondered what they do to their captain, Zoro gave them a smile that would send anyone running for the hills and told them that they ate him.

There was some laughs in the audience, especially when the kids turned to Nami and called her an 'old hag.'

Outside of the mansion, the kids understood that was a joke, taking them where Usopp is. When Luffy ask why Usopp comes here, Carrot bluntly said it was to lie.

"Huh, not pulling any punches?" Sero laughed.

Nami thought it was a bad thing to do, but the kids defended that it was for a good cause. They explained that Kaya is weak and has depression ever since her parents died from an illness a year ago, so their captain tells her his special stories to make her laugh.

"Hm... So he lies for the better good." Aoyama stared, a smile contented on his face as usual, as he listen to the kids' admiration for Usopp's seemingly bad traits.

Luffy suddenly claimed they should ask Kaya for a ship after all, but the problem is, for the kids, that they have strong guards at the gate.

That's not going to be a problem because Luffy already stated to climb the fence.

"GOMU GOMU NO..." Reaching the top, Luffy stretches his arm, much to the kids' horror.

"Oh yeah, quirks aren't a normal thing here." Toru said.

"...Pardon..." Nami, Zoro, and the kids grabbed onto him to stop Luffy from going any further. "...the Intrusion!" Like that, Luffy let go and send all of them flying into the sky.

Usopp's tale was interrupted when Kaya pointed out Luffy and the others in the sky, who crashed into the ground.

Kaya asked who are they while Usopp tried to pass them off as new recruits, but Luffy said he wanted to ask a favor.

"Are you really going to ask a favor to someone you just met?" Iida shook his head.

Luffy asked for a big ship, but Klahadore already came along, saying he doesn't appreciate them breaking in.

"I mean... he's not wrong." Todoroki said. "I would be upset too if someone broke into my property, then start asking for free things."

As a closing scene, into the small village, there was a strange man moonwalking before he turned at the sound of the guitar rift.

"To Be Continued."

"...Why does he look familiar?" Hizashi and Jiro whispered at the same time, squinting their eyes.

"One episode in and I can already tell I'm going to hate this arc." Katsuki complained.

"You should give it a chance." Aoyama said to the ashy blond.

"Why the hell are you defending Long Nose of all people? I thought you're all about sparkles and shit."

"I just want you to give it a chance." Aoyama continued on smiling, even as their homeroom teacher took out the DVD.


AN: Happy New Year, everyone! Here's another chapter. Sorry it's shorter compared to the others.

It's amazing how many things has happened since the last chapter. One Piece reached 1000 chapters, and MHA is apparently ending (from what I'm hearing). I don't even know what to say to that. I'm just shock. I know it probably won't last as long as the older series, like One Piece or Naruto, but it's still strange to hear such a popular series is going to end someday. I mean, I know One Piece has to end someday in the future, but it would a surprise to know about it. Am I making any sense here?

Anyway, hoped you enjoyed it and let's have hope for 2021.
