East Blue – Silobu Village.
Among the hurried footsteps, Usopp, who was wearing a light brown headscarf and had a unique long nose, was running in front. Behind him were a few kids with snot bubbles coming out of their noses. Behind them were a group of exasperated villagers carrying brooms.
"The pirates are here, I swear on the lives of my 8 million crew members, this time the pirates are really here, everyone run!" Usopp turned his head and shouted while running.
"This damn braggart, let's catch him and see if I don't kill him …" A few brooms were thrown over.
"Ahhhh … Captain Usopp, run!" The kid who was sniffing his nose laughed loudly.
Not far away, Crabbard watched the farce that happened every day. He gently supported his black-framed glasses with his wrist. He was wearing a black suit, with his shiny slicked-back hair, and a gentle smile on his face.
"Ah, it's Butler Krabalt, are you here to buy snacks for Miss Keya?" A middle-aged woman leaned on a broom with her hands on her waist and looked at Krabalt, panting.
"Yes, Miss Keya's health hasn't been very good recently. She has no appetite, it's really worrying." Krabalt didn't have the arrogance of a rich man's butler. He always had a gentle smile on his face, but there seemed to be a trace of worry in his eyes.
Miss Keya was the daughter of the richest family in Silobu Village. She was weak and sickly since childhood. Not long ago, Keya's parents unfortunately passed away. She was too sad and her body became weaker.
Krabalt fainted in front of Keya's house last year and was rescued by Keya's father. Later, he stayed at home. Because he was able to take on the duties of Keya's housekeeper, he was very trusted by Keya. Her food and daily life were taken care of by Krabalt.
The villagers of Silobu Village were very clear about this matter. In private, they said that Butler Krabalt was really a kind person.
"It's Krabalt!" The running Usopp caught a glimpse of the black suit. In the entire Silobu Village, only Krabalt would wear such a black suit.
After a frantic run, Usopp hid in the woods outside the village and climbed up a tall tree like a monkey. His heart was filled with inexplicable worry.
Unlike the others in the village, every time he saw the smile on Carabate's face, he would feel an inexplicable chill from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was because he was a liar, or perhaps it was because his body was sensitive to danger. He always felt that the smile on Carabate's face was a hypocritical mask, and that the seemingly kind man was hiding a vicious heart.
However, Usopp had never told anyone about this, not even to Miss Keya, who had never trusted him and was willing to believe in the various absurd and bizarre adventure stories he had fabricated. He had never told her because he knew that no one would believe him without evidence.
"Sigh …"
With a sigh, Usopp leaned back against the tree branch, put on the sniper goggles, and gazed into the distance in the direction of the sea. His blood yearned for the sea.
"Wait a minute, that is …"
On the sea, a seagull flag was fluttering, and the stern warship was gradually becoming clearer in his vision. The warship was sailing in the direction of Silobu Island.
"It's the Marines, the Marines are coming here!" Usopp said in amazement.
"Hahaha, the captain is lying again …" The kids under the tree didn't believe Usopp at all. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Why would the Marines come here?" Usopp stared at the distant coast. Sure enough, the warship was anchored on the shore. Several men in Marine uniforms came down from the deck. The one in front was a strange looking Marine with a pair of heart-shaped glasses on his face.
He seemed to be carefully saying something to a Marine behind him. From Usopp's position, he could vaguely see the Marine's cold face. Then several Marines walked towards the top of the mountain.
"They are going to the big house in Silobu Village!"
In the entire Silobu Village, only Miss Keya's family lived on the mountain. Usopp's heart skipped a beat. He quickly climbed down from the tree and ran up the mountain. He must pass the news to Miss Keya first. Although he didn't know the purpose of this group of Marines, his instinct made him vigilant.
He rushed all the way to the back of the big house on the mountain. Usopp climbed over a low wall and entered the house. Usopp never went through the front door. He climbed a big tree in the yard and knocked on a closed window on the third floor.
After a while, the window was opened, revealing Keya's pale and weak face. She looked at Usopp outside the window and said apologetically: "Usopp, are you here to tell me a story? But I haven't been feeling well recently. I may not be able to listen to your story …"
"No, Keya, listen to me. I just saw a warship docked on the beach. Several Marines are coming in the direction of the big house." Usopp anxiously interrupted Keya's words.
"Are you telling the truth?" Although she trusted Usopp, she was still aware of his notorious reputation. Although she believed in Usopp, she was still aware of his reputation.
"It's true, I'm not lying to you!" Usopp said.
"I believe you." Keya's eyes swept past Usopp. She saw a figure in a white uniform standing outside the gate of the courtyard downstairs. She reached out and pointed outside: "The Marines are here!"
Usopp turned his head and looked at the door of the yard. A Marine happened to look up at him. The moment they looked at each other, Usopp felt like he was being stared at by a terrifying python. A chill crawled up his back.
Knock knock knock …
There was a knock on the door and a servant came in: "Miss Keya, there are several Marines outside. They said they have something to do with Clabart."
"Invite the Marines to the living room. Don't neglect them." Keya apologetically closed the window. She turned and put on a coat and followed the servant downstairs.
"The Marines are looking for Clabart." Usopp frowned. He didn't leave but hid in the tree.
Downstairs, in the spacious living room, there were two rows of neatly arranged leather sofas. Yarlin was sitting in the middle. Zangal and two Marines were standing behind him.
Yarlin gently picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. His eyes looked at Keya and faintly said: "Is Clabart here? We Navy Branch 153 have something to verify with him. "
