50:devistating rain

"Bro! Take good care of yourself! The Franky Family will live on forever! Straw Hats! You guys take care, too!"-Zambai

"Hey, Luffy!"-Nami

"Luffy!"-Chopper

"Are you really sure you don't have to wait for one more person, Straw Hat?"-Franky

"I did wait. Ever since i heard what Sanji told us, I tried so that our room at Galley-La wouldn't be empty."

"Oh when was this, what he say? I thik i was out or asleep when this happened"-Alex

"Yea you were still passed out from when chopper gave you that one batch of medicine that knocked you out. Basically Sanji saw Usopp practicing how to return to the group so Luffy, Chopper and i were going to go get him but Zoro stopped us and told us that Usopp has to come to them not the other way around. He said that since they had a duel and Usopp lost it mean he won't accept him back until he apologized to Luffy as he was in the wrong for challenging his Captain. No matter the feeling involved in the duel once the dual has been decided it decides how they have to act accordingly. Since Usopp lost, he lost his place in the crew unless he makes it up to Luffy, not the other way around. He said that even though Luffy is an idiot he is still the Captain, and if Usopp can't treat him with respect when things are critical, they are better off without him in the crew as he might get them killed. If a Captain stops commanding respect his crew will fall apart without fail. He also said that Luffy can act happy-go-lucky all he wants but if he the only person above himself shows weakness he will be the one leaving next time. Zoro said that it was good Usopp wants to come back now but if he tries to fudge the issue without taking any responsibility, he won;t accept it no matter what, and if that happens they would leave him on the island.

Me and Chopper didn't agree but the rest of the crew did so we dropped it."-Nami

"I see. I agre with what Zoro did as if you guys just let Usopp back his jokes about being Captain instead of Luffy might become actual thoughts and could cause one of or all of our deaths."-Alex

Nami and alex then turned back to the conversation Luffy was having while reclined against the mast, looking relaxed excet for the amount of sweating he was doing.

"I waited for him there all this time, but he didn't come. That's his answer."-Luffy

"Straw Hats..."-Franky

"I'm sure... he'll have a fun life, too. He probably won't quit being a pirate, so i hope i'll see him some day on the sea! Eh hahahaha"-Luffy

The crew listened to him as they each seemed disappointed and tense that Usopp hasn't arrived to apologies yet, this cause the normally celebratory departure to be subdued and quite.

"Luffy, let's wait a little longer. We're not in a rush or anything."-Nami

"Yes we are, did you forget Garp the Hero of the Navy was her to take us in? I think we are in a very big rush as we don't stand a chance against him YET."-Alex

Just as Alex finished saying this they had cannon balls land next to their ship. Franky running to the opposite side yelled

"Dammit! They found us! It's the Navy!"

"Grandpa?!"-Luffy

"Hey, Luffy! Can you hear me?! This is Grandpa! This is Grandpa! If you can hear me, say something!"-Garp

"Hey, Grandpa! What're you doing?! You said you weren't gonna capture us here!"-Luffy

"Well, the thing is, a lot has happened since then."-Garp

"Ahhahah he got yelled at by his boss! Ahahaha"-Alex

"How'd you know?! Anyways, sorry, but i'm gonna send you to the bottom of the sea!"-Garp

"What?!"-Luffy

"Well, i'm not doing this as an apology for that or anything, but i'll fight your gang all by myself!"-Garp

"Bring it you old geezer, I'm not injured this time so i'll win! Most likely..."-Alex

"Meteor.. Fist"-Garp

He then threw a cannonball at us making it travel the distance at triple the normal speed before it hit the water next to their ship pushing it further away from shore due to the force.

"I think he'll still win even though im not injured..."-Alex

"You think!"-Nami

"Whoa! H-He fired a cannonball with his bare hand!"-Sanji

"That cam flying at us with more power than the ones fire by a cannon! It's not like he was just throwing a baseball!"-Zoro

"ahahaah My power's been declining lately."-Garp

"We have no choice! We're getting out of here for now! Or our ship will be blasted to bits!-Nami

"Bring 1,000 cannonballs to me!"-Garp

"This isn't good! A whole bunch of those things are about to come flying at us!"-Franky

"Franky get me all the cannonballs we have as well, i want to see how far the difference between us is"-Alex

"Sure"-Franky

He then brought her two trollies filled with about 120 cannonballs each before she moved them to the rear of the ship so her aim is less obstructed. Alex then picks up a cannonball weights it in her hand tosses it up and down a little to get a feel for it before she throws it with all her strength at Garp's head.

Garp seeing the cannonball flying at his head just picks it out of the air before returning it back at Alex who is forced to use a second cannonball to explode it halfway as she is not risking her or the crews life just to see if she could catch one of Garps throws.

"Don't think that you can run from me! Be prepared!"-Garp

"Full speed ahead! We'll take care of the cannonballs!"-Luffy

"Got it"-Zoro

"He's here! Usopp's here! Hey, everyone! Usopp's here!"-Chopper

"Really?"-Robin

"Yep!"-Chopper

"Doesn't matter if he doesn't apologize."-Alex

Alex, Zoro, Sanji, Franky and Luffy were at the back of the ship all working together to block the literal rain of cannonballs that Garp was throwing at them with seemingly no difficulty or rest between each shot, he was like a mini gun on full auto with his throw speed aking it so the crew had no time to rest while destroying the incoming cannonballs.

"Usopp's coming, Luffy! Usopp's coming!"-Chopper

"Protect the ship!"-Luffy

"Hey! Rejoice! It's me! Chopper! It's a fine day today! Let's go fishing! Well, I guess this is no time for that, huh?! Oh, yeah, i've got good news! Believe it or not, when i'm back, i don't mind becoming your Vice Captain! What do you think? Well?! Hey, Luffy! Guys! I know! You guys're crying with joy over there, right?! Hey, you are, aren't you?! Don't tell me you actually believed that joke i made! We've been friends for so long! There's no way i'd say something like that seriously!"-Usopp

By this point Chopper and Nami are in tears as they believe they are going to leave Usopp behind as he was continuously making excuses and trying to brush the whole ordeal off like it was nothing.

"Although we said all sorts of things to each other, we're friends! I'll let these little things go! Now, hey! Say something!"-Usopp

The crew continued to destroy the cannonballs in silence lamenting the fact that they were about to lose one of their friends as he was to prideful to just apologies to them and his Captain.

"Enough already, you jerks!"-Usopp

"Luffy! Usopp's talking to us!"-Chopper

"I can't hear it."-Luffy

"Zoro!"-Chopper

"I can't hear anything!"-Zoro

"That's a lie! I know you can hear it!"-Chopper

"Stop...joking. So that's how it is. So you really are trying to part with me? I see... Fine, then. If that's what you want...let me say one last thing. You guys...I'm sorry! I'm sorry for being bullheaded! I was wrong! I know im being pathetic. I know i said i was leaving the gang. But... is there any chance that i can take that back?! Can I?! Please! Please et me...stay with you! One more time... let me join you guys!"-Usopp

The crew hearing Usopp's apology got cheerful as they knew their friend was finally back and that they could finally leave in a proper fashion. Luffy then stretched his arm the huge distance back to Usopp who was bawling his eyes out.

"You idiot! Grab my hand already!"

Luffy yelled out through his own bawling to Usopp before he pulled him onot the ship.

The crew celebrated his return as both Usopp and Luffy bawled their eyes out with each other

"You're the one who's an idiot!"-Zoro

"You guys are so lame!"-Nami

"Everyone's finally on board! We're gonna hurry up and get through this cannonball rain attack so that we can get on with our adventure, guys!"-Luffy

"Yeah!"-Everyone
