"Let me go, you fuckers!"

Tied up with Sero's tape, Katsuki was plopped onto the couch by his friends as he tried to send explosions on this Thursday afternoon, but...

"You're giving me dry eye." Aizawa said, hair flying. "I'll stop my quirk if you promise not to damage anything and just watch the anime. I'm pretty sure this arc will be over."

"Ugh, fine." Katsuki groaned.

"...In a few days." Aizawa quietly muttered, applying his eyedrops.


After skipping the opening and the recap section of episode 10, they were met with the moonwalking man stopping at a sheep and the title card of "The Weirdest Guy Ever! Jango the Hypnotist!"

"Why do I feel like that's a bold title for this anime?" Todoroki asked no one in particular.

"So, he's a hypnotist." Izuku readied his pen and notebook.

"Huh, hypnotism." Aizawa murmured, as a certain student popped up in his head.

Back to the mansion, Kaya tried to reason with Klahadore, but he wanted to wait until later. Right now, the butler wants all of them to leave, but Luffy asked for a ship. Of course, Klahadore said no.

"To be fair, you did barged in." Iida said.

Usopp attempted to escape but Klahadore was able to notice him right away. Klahadore knows about the long-nosed boy and his 'adventures,' which Usopp thought as a compliment at first until the butler mentioned his father, calling Usopp the son of a filthy pirate.

"Hey, I know pirates are seen as the bad guys here, but it's not like Usopp told his dad to be one." Kirishima tried to defend.

Klahadore pointed out they're from the two different worlds, wondering how much money he is after.

Kaya demanded that he apologized to Usopp, but Klahadore refused, believing he's just stating the truth. The butler continued to push buttons, insulting Usopp's father and his choice to abandon his family.

"Okay, now that's just too far!" Sero shouted.

Usopp jumped down from his branch using his hook and rope mechanism from his bag, and faced Klahadore. Insult after insult, Usopp finally punched him down. The butler took this as 'like father, like son,' but Usopp told him that he's proud of his father, proud to be his son. Still, Klahadore dusted himself off, seeing Usopp as proof as his father's 'savage blood.'

"You're the one who provoked him!" Mina pointed a finger at him. "You're obviously saying things to make him all riled up!"

Usopp was about to punch Klahadore again, but stopped once Kaya demanded so, even when she defended the butler. Usopp left, and when he left the kids and Luffy were quick to defend Usopp, though a glare from the butler did send the kids running as Zoro held Luffy back. Of course, Klahadore told them to leave too.

In Kaya's room, Kaya coughed until Klahadore brought in her meal, though she didn't want it. The butler told her that the chef would be sad if she didn't.

"So you resulted to guilt tripping." Toru huffed in anger, not a big fan of how he acted back there.

Kaya asked him why he insulted Usopp like that.

Klahadore's reasoning? It started three years ago on the day he came to the mansion. A flashback shown Klahadore was homeless after he made a mistake from his last job, but before the guards could kick him out, Kaya's father helped him and gave him a life here in the mansion as a butler.

Klahadore knew what he did was wrong, but he was just so worried about Kaya that he would never forgive himself if anything tragic have happened to her.

"Curse you flashbacks!" Kirishima shook his fist to the ceiling over the sympathetic sniffles from some of the students.

Though Kaya forgives Klahadore, she still believes Usopp is a nice person, but the butler was quick to say that's irrelevant.

One moonwalking man moment later, Nami, Zoro, and the two of the veggie kids were resting against a fence. Nami asked Zoro where did Luffy gone off to, and Zoro suggested he must have been following Usopp, which the kids thought Usopp is at his spot by the shore. Pepper asked if they want to check it out, but Zoro refused. Soon, Nami asked about Onion, and the two kids explained, he'll probably show up, freaked out.

As if on cue, Onion came in running, screaming about a 'backwards guy.'

"Is some moonwalking guy really the scariest thing they've seen?" Hizashi let out a small laugh at the idea.

"Huh, no wonder why Usopp tries to bring excitement with his lying." Denki said.

"Don't act like his lying isn't annoying as fuck. If someone keeps false alarming a villain, you would want to beat him up too." Katsuki complained.

Pepper and Carrot called Onion a liar, but he said it's the truth, pointing to the moonwalking man coming their way. Finally, the man turns and asked who's calling him weird.

Nami thought he was weird, but the man calls himself an ordinary, passing-by hypnotist.

"Yeah, that's totally normal." Katsuki sarcastically said.

The kids want to see his ability. At first, he seemed angry at the idea of showing his technique to a bunch of strangers, but he showed it anyway.

"Oh my god." Katsuki disappointedly groaned under the laughter of the others.

"If only villains were this easy to spill secrets." Hizashi jokingly sighed.

He swung his ring in front of the kids' faces, claiming at the count of "one, two, Jango," they'll be fall asleep.

"One. Two. Jango!" Surprisingly enough, it did work... a little too well because both the kids and Jango fallen asleep.

The laughter grew louder as Katsuki complained, "You got to be kidding me."

At the shore, on top of a cliff, Usopp stared out at the sea... until Luffy suddenly appeared, hanging upside down from a tree.

At first, Usopp seemed to be annoyed with Luffy as he got down from the tree, but the long-nosed boy was still upset about that butler. Luffy agrees with him, especially since he insulted Yasopp. This cheered Usopp up, admiring his father for his choice.

Luffy asked him if he's going to see Kaya again, and Usopp claimed he will if the butler apologizes to him.

"Highly doubt it." Jiro said.

Then Luffy noticed the butler on the beach, and Usopp panicked, pushing the rubber man's head to the ground.

On the rocky beach, Klahadore was with the strange hypnotist from earlier, scolding him for gaining attention to him, though Jango still believed he wasn't that weird.

Usopp and Luffy didn't recognize the strange man as Klahadore asked if the preparations are ready.

Toru gasped. "Wait, the butler's not going to have Kaya hypnotize into hating Usopp, right?"

Jango said of course, and they can start to their plan to assassinate the rich girl, much to the others' shock.

"That's a bigger jump than I thought." Toshinori stared at the man in shock.

"Is that better?" Todoroki dryly said to the invisible girl, who could only slump in her seat in silence.

"Okay, now this is interesting." Katsuki smirked at the reveal, noticing the gaping mouths of the others.

After the eyecatches, a hermit crab fell into the water while Klahadore told Jango not to call it an assassination, not liking the sound of it. Jango corrected it as an 'accident' instead.

Luffy and Usopp listened to their plans of their men storming the village, have Jango hypnotize Kaya into writing her will, and the butler will gain her inherent. Klahadore was proud to say that he spent three years gaining everyone's trust, so it won't be a surprise when he gains the fortune.

"I don't know. That sounds like an assassination to me." Aizawa narrowed his eyes at the man.

"How could you do this!? I thought you cared about her!" Mina shouted at the butler. "Didn't you care about her over those years?"

Then Jango revealed something interesting. Klahadore is actually Captain Kuro and he've given up being a pirate three years ago. Using one of his subordinates, he lead the world to believe he was executed.

Several students turned a shade paler or looked away when they saw Kuro's double crucified and was executed by bullets from the Marines.

"H-How barbaric." Momo covered her mouth with her hand.

"I can't tell if you mean that guy's death or that faker's plan, but I agree." Jiro gaped at the scene.

Jango was impressed with this plan and that his captain is truly Kuro, Man of a Thousand Plans, and the butler scolded him for using that man he abandoned years ago. All he wants is to earn a great amount of money without the government on his back, calling himself a 'pacifist.'

As Usopp sieved with anger, Jango laughed at the hypocrisy of Kuro being a pacifist since he's planning on killing an entire rich family for 'peace,' though Kuro said that the father's death was real.

"How could you want peace if you're willing to kill the innocent for it?" Toshinori stared wide eyed at the man.

Jango shrugged it off, telling him that he and the crew will be sitting in the waters near here for a whole week, waiting for his signal.

A heartbeat can be heard as Usopp internally panicked. Luffy caustically said that their plan sounds kind of bad, which caused Usopp to worry, remembering that he heard Captain Kuro is the smartest and the most brutal pirate of all, shock that he's actually alive.

Standing up, Luffy used his big brain and yelled at the two to not attack Kaya.

There was a round of facepalms as Katsuki shouted, "What the fuck, Straw Hat! You're an idiot, not dead brain!"

Of course, Jango and Kuro noticed them. Usopp attempted to lie and say that they haven't heard a word, but Luffy said they did.

"This is not a time for honesty, Luffy!" Iida exclaimed.

Kuro gave a look to Jango, and turned away. Jango took out his ring, telling them to look. Luffy looked on while Usopp panicked, saying it's a throwing weapon.

"It is?" Denki said in confusion.

"Actually, it might be a chakram." Izuku squinted his eyes.

"...A what?"

"Think of it as a ring blade."

"Oh..."

Usopp hide before he was affected by his hypnotism. At "One! Two! Jango!", Luffy fell asleep, falling right off the cliff as Jango fell asleep against Kuro's back, who complained that he haven't fixed this habit yet.

When Luffy fell, they thought he was killed.

"I'm pretty sure there would be a bunch of blood around him if that was the case." Jiro dryly said.

"Then again, no one wants to look at a mangled corpse." Tokoyami nodded a bit.

Usopp shook in fear as Kuro decided to let him go, recognizing that Usopp can't do anything, much to Usopp's dismay. Kuro openly revealed his plan, saying they'll attack at daybreak tomorrow.

Usopp ran and ran and ran, crying at the thought of the village he grew up in will be killed, that Kaya will be killed, that everything he loves will be gone.

A small memory popped up of the first time Usopp met Kaya. At first, it didn't went well, but as time went on, she've warmed up to him.

Sympathetic looks came from most of the students, but Katsuki said, "He can't do this by himself." Yet it didn't sound malicious as before.

Back with Kuro and Jango, Kuro looked out at the ocean, wind blowing as there were a ship out in the distance, one with a cat themed jolly roger. The man smiled.

After the hermit crab fell into the water again, "To Be Continued" rippled in.

"Goddamn it." Todoroki quietly cursed, glaring at the TV.


After skipping the opening and recap of episode 11, they were greeted with "Expose the Plot! Pirate Butler, Captain Kuro!"

Among the peaceful fields, Zoro, Nami, and the veggie kids were getting a little worry about Usopp and Luffy since they've been gone for a while, but then they spotted Usopp running their way with a serious look, then he past by them, not answering any of their questions.

Zoro and Nami thought Usopp was still his father being insulted, but the kids recognized that look as one of desperation, so they plan to go to the shore.

In his little village, Usopp was exhausted, but he was still able to shout out the terrible news.

"No one is going to believe him." Tokoyami gravely said.

"Ah, it's going to be a 'boy who cried wolf' situation." Toshinori slowly shook his head in pity.

At first, Usopp seemed happy when the villagers came out of their homes, but he soon recognized the villagers won't believe him no matter how many times he tells the truth, realizing that Klahadore let him go because of this reason.

"What do you expect from lying every single day?!" Katsuki shouted at him.

At Kaya's mansion, a sheep-like butler showed Kaya the gift she plans to give to 'Klahadore;'custom-ordered glasses from the next town over. Tomorrow would be the exact day three years ago when 'Klahadore' came to the mansion.

"Goddamn it." Iida softly cursed, clenching his fist as he and the others knows that this won't go well for her.

Usopp attempted to reason with the villagers, but they were just sick of his lies and Usopp's only choice was to run away from them.

At the cliff near the rocky shore, the veggie kids showed Nami and Zoro around, worried that they couldn't find Luffy. Nami looked down, noticing Luffy.

Now on ground level with Luffy, Nami and the Usopp Pirates were worry about him, but Zoro noticed Luffy's snoring and poked him with his sword. When Luffy woke up, the others freaked out.

"Huh, I thought Nami would be used to it by now." Denki lightly joked.

Outside of the mansion, Usopp traveled his way to Kaya's room, and at the sound of pebbles against her window, Kaya opened it up, thankful he came back, but he noticed the look on his face.

Usopp took a step on her window sill, telling her she needs to run, much to Kaya's confusion. Even when she told Klahadore is a pirate, Kaya believed that this is a joke no matter how many times Usopp told her otherwise.

"I thought you were his friend!" Toru tearfully shouted.

"Who would you trust more? Someone who had took care of you for three years? Or someone you knew for one year who's well-known for telling lies?" Aizawa asked.

Toru went silent, but Kirishima added rather dejectedly, "But... Usopp looks serious this time..."

After the eyecatches, at the rocky shores, Luffy have told the others about Kuro and his plan, causing the kids to understand why Usopp looked so serious since it was to tell the villagers to run away, and decided to run off to collect their prized processions before they go away from the island. Then Luffy figured they should stock up on food before the 'meat shop' guy runs away too, which caused Zoro to hit him with his sheathed sword.

"Thank you, Zoro." Jiro sighed, a little stressed out about Usopp's situation.

A storybook-like memory of Usopp and Kaya contrasted with the present day situation. Kaya told him that she loved his lies, but she was confused on this one as Usopp tried to promise that this wasn't a way to get back at Klahadore.

The sheep-like butler came in, asking if something's the matter as he held a gun. In desperation, Usopp attempted to escape with Kaya, jumping out the window as the other butler ran through the front entrance.

The guards came along, but using his slingshot, Usopp took them down, much to Kaya's dismay. He tried to get her away from here, but Kaya stood her ground and slapped him.

The audience went silent, shock by her action.

Kaya looked away, crying. "You're pathetic."

Usopp stepped away, feeling betrayed. Leaves fall from their tree, and Usopp only ran when the butler came.

The sheep-like butler attempted to shoot, but Kaya jumped in his way to protect Usopp. The butler moved away in shock, but pulled the trigger, shooting Usopp.

"Usopp!" Many students cried out in worry as Katsuki stared wide eye.

The long-nosed boy limped. Brooms came into sight as the butler directed the villagers, telling them of what happened.

Usopp ran and ran as Kaya fainted into her butler's arms.

"Everything is just going wrong!" Denki panicked, messing up his hair. "How could it get any worst?"

"Don't say that!" Jiro and Mineta shouted at him.

Near the rocky shores, there was Captain Kuro's ship as Kuro himself thanked his men for coming after three years, telling them that after this whole ordeal is over, there will be plenty of treasure for them to take. He was delighted to tell them to destroy the village as much as their hearts' content as the cat-like pirates cheered.

"You bastard!" Sero cursed.

The warm colors of the setting sun casted over the island as Usopp held his shot arm, memories of the past can be heard. He doesn't seem to know what to say, what to think, letting today's events process in his head.

He looked back on his old village, letting tears run down his face. Then he noticed his 'pirates' calling out to him.

Usopp wiped his tears, tugging on his armband to cover up his wound. He turned to them, faking a big smile on his face, but he was shock to see Luffy was still alive.

The kids told him that they know everything and planed to tell everyone about the pirates, but the events of today popped up in Usopp's head.

Usopp laughed, brushing the whole thing off as a lie since Klahadore pissed him off. The kids laughed along as well, walking away. Usopp asked why they're leaving, and the kids claimed they think less of him now since he 'lied' to hurt someone even if it was Klahadore.

"No! Not you guys too!" Toru cried out at this betrayal.

"It's for the best. Usopp probably don't want them to be involved with Kuro and his pirates anyway." Ojiro said as some kind of attempt to comfort her.

"It doesn't make it better!"

At night, by the shore, Usopp whimpered as Nami cleaned up his would, finishing it off with some bandages. Luffy asked Usopp why did he lie to this kids.

Usopp told him her was a liar and they were never going to believe him anyway, but the others knew what he was saying is the truth. It still doesn't change the fact that the villagers would believe that tomorrow is just going to be another peaceful day, and Usopp is determined to keep it that way. Even with all the abuse he went through, Usopp still loves that village and is willing to protect everyone.

"You're going to be slaughter, Long Nose." Katsuki bluntly said.

"I-I'm sure he'll survive." Kirishima was determined on that.

Since Usopp is too kind for his own good, the three decided to fight with him, especially since Usopp is scared. Usopp tried to lie his way as a brave warrior, but his shaky legs betrayed him.

He told the truth, thinking they're making fun of him, but Zoro said they're helping because he's honorable. There's no way they would be helping out of sympathy.

Usopp cried at their kindness.

"To Be Continued."

"Can't wait for this to be over." Katsuki grunted, listening to the others' excitement.

"How do you think it'll end?"

"Luffy defeating Kuro, of course."

"I want Usopp to at least have a shot in."

"Usopp better be the village hero because of this!"

Katsuki sighed, hoping his 'suffering' would end.


AN: Okay, we finally made it into the double digits (for episode count)!

Anyway, hoped you enjoyed this chapter.
