Last time on Chapter 43...

Dorry grips his weapon tightly, a grin plastered on his face.

"I know this will greatly affect your battle, but I want you to act weak and let Brogy strike you enough to draw blood and pretend to be unconscious. This is not called cheating, it's called 'Bringing out the black wolf on the Sheep's den'. That way, the enemies will effectively show up, thinking their plan worked." Luffy says with a grin and a sadistic glint in his eyes.

Those cowards would surely earn their karma.

"Go give it your all, Master Brogy!" Usopp shouts with a grin while Brogy turns to him with his axe on his leftrigh shoulder and laughs.

"GABABABABA! Sure thing, Usopp! I'll get him this time once and for all!" Brogy says before turning and starts walking to their battlefield.

"They sure do like their pointless fighting..." Nami says as she sighs, looking at Brogy's back.

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL IT POINTLESS, YOU IGNORAMUS!" Usopp shouts while looking at Nami with a funny angry face, stomping his right foot childishly in the process.

"In any case, let's return to the ship for the time being." Nami pauses, looking at the Log Pose. "I can't believe it's going to take for a full year for the log to finish recording! It's absurd!" Nami turns, closing her eyes thoughtfully. "We'll wait for everyone to return to the ship and then plan out what to do."

"Wait a second! Wait!" Usopp shouts, making Nami turn to him. "I must announce that I would be utterly useless in fending off dinosaurs, giants, monsters, and the like!" Usopp shouts shamelessly with a grin, pointing his thumb at his own self at the process. "Therefore, it would be impossible for us to safely make it out of the jungle and back to our ship!"

"Wasn't it just a moment ago when you boldly declared something about becoming a brave warrior?" Nami asks while putting her hands mid-way on the air.

"Yeah, but the key word is becoming!" Usopp pauses, a grin still plastered on his face. "I want to eventually be able to take pride in my way of life but I'm not quite at that stage yet!"

"Fine... Since Vivi and Luffy are supposed to be by the other giant's home , let's go meet up with them first." Nami says while Usopp puts his right hand on his chin.

"One day... No matter what happens, even if I were to die alone on a deserted island..." Usopp starts, imagining it in his head. "I'd look back proudly at my life and as I die, I'll yell, 'I am Usopp, Brave Warrior of the Seas!'" Usopp suddenly gets pulled by Nami using Usopp's goggles. "That's how my last moments will be!"

"Yeah, yeah..." Nami pauses, brushing Usopp's speech. "Just try to turn into a reliable warrior before we die of old age, okay?"

Usopp tenses, comically turning into a rock "Uh, yeah..."

"Besides, our captain wouldn't leave us all alone..." Nami says before Usopp looks at her before grinning.

"Yeah, you're right!"

"GABABABABA! DORRY! After all this years of drinking only water, the rum must've tasted especially fine, right!?" Brogy shouts while Dorry grinned.

"'Course! It tasted of God!" Dorry shouted, trying to sound as hoarse as possible.

Brogy raises his axe to prepare for an attack "GABABABABA! AREN'T YOU A POET!" Dorry pretends to cough, "Here I come!"
