<<Luffy: Huh?!
	Usopp's coming back?!

<<Sanji: Yeah.
	He was practicing for it at the shore.

<<Luffy: Really?!
	Well, cool then!!  Let's go get him!!

<<Chopper: Yeaaah!!!

<<Nami: Why can't he just come and admit it?

<<Luffy: Yahooo!!  Usopp's coming baaack!!!

<<Zoro: Wait a second!!!
	I'm not a letting a single person
	go to see him!

<<Chopper: Whaat?!  Why?!

<<Zoro: Don't you dare go and ask for him to come, Luffy.
	I'm not going to accept him back until he begs for it!!

<<Chopper: Zoroooo!!!

<<Nami: What right do you have to-

<<Zoro: SHUT UP!!!

 - Page 151 -

<<Zoro: No matter how Luffy and Usopp felt about their original argument,
	No matter which of them was "right"...!!
	Once two men have decided to resolve their differences in a "duel,"
	The victor can only be decided by battle.
	He lost...
	And he left on his own.
	I know this guy's an idiot,
	but he's still our "captain."
	If anyone on this crew is unable to accept his standing when it counts,
	we'd be better off without them...!!

<<Luffy: Urggggg.

<<Zoro: A crew without "respect" for its captain
	is destined to fall apart!!!

 - Page 152 -

<<Zoro: You're free to act as you like,
	but the moment the man who must stand above me on this crew fails to command that respect,
	I'm leaving, and that's that!!!

<<Nami: What?!  How is that going to help us solve this problem?!

<<Zoro: If that fool wants to come back to the crew,
	that's fine.  I'm all for it.
	But I DON'T want him back
	if the score hasn't been settled, and still hangs over our heads!!!
	If that happens, we're leaving Usopp behind on this island!!

<<Chopper: Wha...

<<Nami: ...wait, Zoro.  It's true that he did some things he shouldn't have.
	But if you start giving him all this grief when he gets back...!!

<<Zoro: IS THAT HOW EASY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE TO LEAVE THE CREW?!!
	(Thunk!!)

 - Page 153 -

<<Nami: No... but...

<<Sanji: Nami-san... I hate to admit it,
	but he's right this time...!!

<<Zoro: How can we trust our lives to someone who passes this off
	on a mere WHIM...?!
	It's simple...
	If the first thing out of his mouth is the deepest apology, good...
	Otherwise, there's no place for him here.
	This isn't a kid's game of pirates!!!

<<<<Luffy: Goodbye, Usopp.
	It was fun.

<<Luffy: ...good point!  We did already break things off with him once.
	We've still got a few days left until the ship's ready and we can leave!
	We'll stay put and wait for him!!

Marines: Vice Admiral Garp!!
	We've found the Straw Hats on the southeast shore!
	They appear to be preparing to leave at Shipwreck Shelf!!
	Let's get going!  All aboard!!

Coby: Vice Admiral, we are extremely embarrassed to be doing this,
	just after we said goodbye to them on such good terms!

Garp: If you've got a problem, tell it to Sengoku!!
	I only came back because he yelled at me!  ...thinks he's so great!!

Aokiji: Only because your excuse over the phone snail was "because he's my grandson."

Garp: Oh, put a sock in it, blue-horn.

Marine: What about you, Admiral?  Why are you here?

Aokiji: Because it sucks to ride all that way on a bike.  I'm not gonna get involved with this.

Marine: Even if it turns into a battle?  That's not very responsible...

 - Page 155 -

Usopp: Hahh.
	Hahh.
	Hahh.
	Hahh.
	All right!  I can go back!!  To my crew!!
	They're all waiting for me!!
	We've got a great new ship!!
	All that's left is to fit back in as naturally as I can.
	Who cares how they respond?
	I've got 100 different strategies at my disposal!!
	But my number one most promising speech is definitely this one!!
	"Dry your eyes, I already know how much you need me...!!"
	"Tell you what; I'll come back if you make me the first mate!!!"
	"Thank you, First Mate Usopp!!  Hoo-ray!"
	"We'll do anything you say, just come back to us!!  Ha ha ha.
	Man, I really AM the best!!
	Truly, a man who always knows how to make things turn out right!
	The others admiration for me will only increase after this recent hardship,
	and I'll live happily ever after...
	All right, time to hurry!!  I'll be sad to see you gone, Water Metropolis Water Seven!!

Sail: (flap!)

Luffy: SET SAIL!!

Family: Take care, Boss!!
	The Franky Family is immortal!!!

Nami: Wait, Luffy!!

Chopper: Luffyyy!!!

Franky: Are you sure about this, Straw Hat?
	There's still one more left to wait for.

Luffy: I already did wait!!
	Ever since I heard about him from Sanji,

 - Page 157 -

Luffy: I waited in that Galley-la Company room the entire time,
	so someone would always be there if he showed up, but he never did!!
	That was his answer!!  I guess he'll have more fun this way.
	I don't think he'll stop being a pirate after this.  Hopefully we'll run into him somewhere along the line!!

Franky: Whoaaa!!
	Crap!!  The Marines have found us!!

Luffy: ...Grandpa?!!

Family: That's Vice Admiral Garp's ship!!
	Run for it, guys!!

Garp: Luffy, can you read me?!
	This is Grandpa speaking, I repeat, Grandpa.

Luffy: What's the big idea, Grandpa?!
	You said you weren't gonna arrest us!!

 - Page 158 -

Garp: Yeah, well, uh, stuff came up.
	Sorry, I'm afraid you'll have to feed the fishes!!

Luffy: WHAAAAT?!!

Garp: I know it's a poor apology,
	but I promise, I will see to it that I PERSONALLY destroy you all!!
	Cannonball.

Marine: H... Here, sir!

Sanji: What's he going to do?!

Garp: "Gen Kotsu"...
	"Meteo"!!!  (Fist Meteorite)

Crew: Whoaaa!!!

Ball: (nyeoww!!)

 - Page 159 -

Sanji: He shot a cannonball at us... with his bare hand?!!

Zoro: It was much faster than a regular cannon!!  And that was hardly a baseball!!!

Garp: Bwahahaha!!  Lemme tell ya, aging sucks!
	My velocity's been dropping lately!!

Nami: We don't have a choice!!  Let's get going!!
	Before our new ship gets smashed to bits!!!

Garp: Bring out a thousand balls!!!

Marines: Yessir!!

Franky: Damn, now they'll be RAINING down on us!!

Coby: It's the "Fist Shower"!!!

Helmepp: Oh dear.
	No single ship can possibly stand all those shots!!

Garp: Now then...  Let's get started,
	KIDS.

 - Page 160 -

Luffy: Full speed ahead!!
	We'll crush those shells!!

Sanji: Yeah.
	{Shit!!  He's really not coming...?}

Chopper: There he is!!!
	Usopp's here!!

Robin: Really?!

Usopp: Move it!
	Look out, people!!

Chopper: Hey everyone, Usopp showed up!!

Usopp: Hahh... hahh...
	Huh?!

Zambai: Hey Nose Guy, what are you doing HERE?!

Usopp: W-What's going on?!  Why is the ship leaving?!

Zambai: I just assumed you were already on it.

Usopp: Wait!!
	What are you guys doing?!
	Hang on!!!
	I'm still right here!!!

Zambai: Watch out, the stairs are broken!!

 - Page 161 -

Usopp: What's going on?!  Even after we fought,
	I was still fighting alongside you all that time!!  I'm Sogeking!!
	Did you give up on me and leave me behind because I changed my look?!
	Wait, guys... don't worry!!
	I've come back to you!!

Garp: Take THAT and THAT and THAT!!
	Bwahahaha!!

Chopper: Usopp's here, Luffy!!
	Usopp's back!!

Luffy: Protect the ship!!

 - Page 162 -

Usopp: Hahh...
	Hahh.
	Hahh.
	Idiots...
	...hahh...
	Stop the ship...!!
	Heyyyyy!!!
	Get excited, people!!!  It's ME!!!

Shells: (whoosh whoosh)

Usopp: Hahh...
	Chopper!!  Isn't it such a nice day today?!
	Let's go fishing!!!
	...well, I guess we've got BIGGER fish to fry, today!!  Hahaha!!
	Guess what?!  I've got great news for you all!!  The day I come back,
	I'm willing to be your first mate!!!
	How about that?!
	Helloooo?!!
	Heeyyy!!  Luffy!!!  Everybody!!!
	I know what's going on!!  You're all so happy you could cry!!  So I was thinking-

<<Usopp: I can't stay with you any longer...
	Sorry for all the trouble.

 - Page 163 -

Usopp: Come on!!  Don't tell me
	you actually BELIEVED that little joke!!
	We've known each other for how long now?!
	You know I'd never say anything like that seriously!!!
	Hey... we had our differences, but we're still mates!!
	We know how to let things slide!!
	Come on, say something!!!
	Knock it off, you guys!!!

Chopper: Luffy!!
	Usopp's calling for you!!!

Luffy: I can't hear him.

Chopper: Zoro!!

Zoro: I don't hear anything!!

Chopper: Liar, you CAN hear him!!

Usopp: Hahh...
	Hahh...
	Stop joking around...!!
	...what's the deal?
	Hahh.
	...you really want to cut things off with me?
	Hahh...
	Is that how you want it...?  Well fine, then!!!
	If that's how you feel... Then I just have one thing left to say.
	...and you're gonna hafta listen...
	(flop...)
	Hahh...

<<Usopp: I can go wherever I damn well please.
	I'm quitting this crew.

Usopp: (well...)
