In the room, Sigo observed the Usopp through Observation Haki.
The reason why he showed the information to the Usopp just now was to test him and see if he was qualified to be Luffy's partner.
Now, everything had changed.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and even Nami are no longer what they used to be.
Because of the emergence of Sigo, they are much stronger than before.
The current Luffy is not inferior to Lucci in a direct confrontation.
And this is because Sigo did not tell Luffy how to open Second Gear.
With Luffy's current physical fitness, he is fully equipped to open Second Gear.
The reason why he didn't tell him is that Second Gear has too many side effects on the body.
Frequent use can even reduce one's lifespan and cause irreversible internal injuries.
To put it bluntly, Second Gear is to use the body as a steam engine.
By increasing the pressure in the body and accelerating the blood flow, it strengthens the body.
Luffy has the Rubber Fruit. If it were someone else, the blood vessels of the whole body would have burst because of the high blood pressure.
Luffy is now seventeen years old, which is the time when his combat power is increasing rapidly.
After he finishes fighting Klokdal and Enel, he should be able to grow to the point where he can basically ignore the side effects of Second Gear.
It won't be too late to tell him then.
Luffy is like this, and so are Zoro and Sanji.
Even Nami's physical fitness has long been far beyond that of ordinary people under the subtle influence of Sigo's Milk Bottle Fruit.
Of course, for Nami, Sigo pays more attention to the cultivation of knowledge.
For this reason, he specifically asked Nocchi Gao to collect a large number of precious documents and books.
Everyone has become stronger, but the Usopp is still the same.
It is precisely because of this that Sigo wants to test him to see if he is qualified to be Luffy's partner.
If the Usopp can't pass the test, even if Sigo doesn't say anything, Luffy shouldn't invite him.
Sigo was very confident about this.
Don't be fooled by Luffy's usual foolishness. He was truly a wise man who looked foolish.
Moreover, he had a unique insight when it came to judging people.
Their ancestral reputation of freeloading was in fact undeserved.
The straw hat was passed from Roger to Shanks, and from Shanks to Luffy.
The three of them were too similar. Even the way they looked at people was surprisingly the same.
Back then, Roger had taken a fancy to the street wanderer who wandered around the East Sea. Later on, that street wanderer became the Underworld King, Rayleigh.
Shanks had taken a liking to the unemployed Ben Beckman at first glance. Now, the unemployed Ben had become the Royal Deputy.
It was the same for Luffy. Back in Frostmoon Village, she had taken a liking to the young Sauron at first sight.
Outside, the Usopp had already grabbed the doorknob.
With a gentle twist, he could enter the room.
Sigo was waiting for the results of the test, and Luffy was also waiting for the Usopp's choice.
Crack!
The door opened a crack.
A figure pushed the door open and walked in.
"Huh? Gentlemen, what are you doing here? Hurry up and go inside. The dessert is ready. "
Merry, who had a sheep's hairstyle, waved her hand, and a chef came in with carefully made snacks.
Sigo smiled, and so did Luffy.
"The old, the weak, the sick, and the Sunset Group, let's go and have dessert." Sigo walked into the castle without looking back.
Dzepp and Tom hurriedly followed, "Captain, can't we change our name?"
"That's right, that's right. This old man also thinks that we should change our name."
…
The three of them left, but Luffy and Sanji did not move.
"Master, we'll go out first." Luffy shouted and reached out to take some dessert.
But before his hand touched the dessert plate, it involuntarily gathered towards his chest.
A milk bottle suddenly appeared in Luffy's mouth.
Sigo did not look back, "Eat less sweet, drink more milk. How stupid are you? You still want to eat sweet."
"Wuwuwu ~"
Luffy still wanted to resist, but Sanji had already taken him outside.
Sigo's test for the Usopp was simple, courage.
He did not expect the other party to be comparable to a monster like Luffy with a mortal body, but he wanted the other party to have enough courage.
If he did not have the courage to fight for the village, for Keya, Sigo really did not believe that he would fight for his companions in the future.
Silobo Village was high, and if they wanted to attack from the sea, in addition to the cliffs, there was only one way.
This geographical advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack also gave the Usopp some capital to resist.
He hurriedly ran around the village, "Aunt Sunny, I want to buy oil, the more the better, I want it all."
"Uncle Blue, do you still have scrap iron today, give me more."
"…"
Luffy and Sanji quietly followed behind the Usopp, watching him run from shop to shop and finally buy a bunch of things.
Oil, small iron pieces, beans, water caltrop nails, and so on, a big cart full.
He laboriously pushed the cart towards the slope outside the village.
"Hey, Liar, what are you doing?"
"Yes, you lying brat, what are you doing with so many things?"
The villagers asked curiously.
In the face of the villagers' questions, the Usopp suppressed the fear in his heart as much as possible and barely squeezed out a smile, "Ah, pirates are coming, the brave Usopp captain is going to fight against the pirates and protect the village."
Originally, the villagers had some doubts about his behavior, but when they heard him say this, they were filled with righteous indignation, "You brat, you only know how to lie all day long!"
"Liar, didn't you already lie about pirates today, why are you doing it again!"
"Brat, don't run, we'll teach you a lesson today!"
Looking at the Usopp running away with the cart, everyone laughed and then went back to their own business.
They didn't notice the determination on the Usopp's face.
"Everyone still thinks I'm lying, but that's good, it's the price of lying."
On the slope outside the village, when the Usopp finally pushed the cart over, they found that there were already two people waiting there.
"You … You …"
The Usopp looked at Luffy and Sanji in surprise.
Luffy slowly stood up and pressed the straw hat on his head, "You deliberately lied, so that they wouldn't come here."
The Usopp didn't speak, they just moved the things out of the cart one by one and began to arrange it.
"Why are you asking me to do this? There are more than a hundred people on the other side, you can't stop them here. "
Seeing that the Usopp didn't answer, Luffy continued to ask.
"How do you know you can't stop them if you don't try! Don't underestimate me, I'm the brave Captain of the Usopp! "
The Usopp roared, as if he was talking to Luffy and Sanji, but it was more like he was talking to himself.
After roaring that sentence, he covered his face in pain and squatted down, tears flowed out from between his fingers.
He choked, "I lie every day, and I like to lie."
"So, I'm going to fight the pirates on the beach and turn this into a lie!"
"This is the price of lying, and the only way to go as a liar!"
