I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

"He would never hesitate because pirates might harm his crew, because in Luffy's eyes, there is no enemy he cannot defeat."

Asma-sensei said.

"Maybe Asuma-sensei is right."

"Luffy seems a bit dim-witted. He only speaks after Roronoa, Zoro, and Nami have all made their stance clear."

Uzumaki Naruto said.

Usopp in the video was moved to tears.

She kept wiping away her uncontrollable tears with both hands.

"Everyone...everyone...are you willing to fight alongside me?"

"Is everything you're saying true?"

"Am I dreaming? You guys aren't kidding me, are you?"

"We've only met by chance, we don't have a deep relationship."

"Are you willing to fight against those pirates for a friend like me whom you've just met?"

“They are real pirates, the famous Captain Kuro of the Hundred Strategies. You really want to fight them for someone like me?”

Usopp wiped away his tears, unable to believe what the three of them were saying, and asked again and again.

"Of course it's true, it's definitely true, you're not dreaming."

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond; no one would treat such a thing as a joke."

"We are now facing a formidable enemy."

"So what if we're just strangers who met by chance?"

"Besides, we're already good friends, aren't we?"

"Don't you consider us friends?"

"We'd go to great lengths for our best friends; that's our principle."

Luffy said.

"Great, great, really great! With your help, I'm much more confident in dealing with Captain Crowe."

Usopp got so excited that he blurted out the truth.

"But I still don't quite understand, why?"

"They are all ruthless, real pirates."

"If you really join this battle, you're very likely to get hurt. This isn't a game of pirates."

... ..0

Usopp added.

"Why ask so many questions? The enemy numbers are too many; how can you possibly handle them all by yourself?"

"Isn't that right? Besides, we're real pirates, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Since we're all pirates, wouldn't it be easier to fight?"

Are you scared?

"I can see the word 'fear' written all over your face."

Before Luffy could answer, Roronoa Zoro's lips twitched violently, and he spoke first.

"How could I possibly be afraid?"

"Why do you say I'm afraid?"

"I can't be afraid. I'm going to be a brave sea warrior. How could I be afraid to protect my village..." said the soldier.

Chapter 675 Is he trying to bolster his courage?

Upon hearing Roronoa Zoro say such a thing, Usopp immediately stood up excitedly and patted his chest.

"Hahaha, Roronoa Zoro's provocation worked! Usopp got really angry right away."

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the screen with a grin and said.

"I don't care whether there are many or few people."

Usopp continued to boast in the video.

"Because I am the brave '637' sea warrior, I am the brave Captain Usopp, how could I possibly be afraid of those pirates?"

Usopp said, trembling all over.

"This guy is clearly terrified, but he's still stubbornly trying to save face by bragging. Luffy and the others probably saw through him long ago."

At the same time, Naruto Uzumaki, who was standing nearby, heard what the other person said, thought for a few seconds, and then spoke up.

"The long-nosed guy is just trying to embolden himself."

Asma-sensei said.

"In front of these new friends, especially these pirates, the long-nosed guy has to save face for himself no matter what."

"Especially when he learns that Luffy has met his father, Usopp has to act bravely no matter what."

"That's what Ms. Yuhi Kurenai said."

"This is a true example of suffering for the sake of saving face."

Naruto Uzumaki continued.

"Perhaps this is the last bit of dignity a man can have."

Thorpe is also a very proud person.

"Uchiha Sasuke said."

"Captain Usopp, that's a title he gave himself, right? It's something he made these three kids call him Captain Usopp when they were playing pirate games here with him."

"In fact, he has never been to sea, let alone become a pirate. All of this is just his own imagination."

Uzumaki Naruto said.

In the video footage, Usopp was still trembling violently, especially his legs, which were shaking so badly they were almost uncontrollable.

Usopp knew very well that he was terrified.

She just didn't want to show it in front of Luffy and the others.

However, his legs betrayed him, trembling uncontrollably.

Luffy and his two companions watched Usopp's performance with wide eyes.

Usopp knew he was terrified. Although he uttered some bold words, his legs had already betrayed him.

The long-nosed guy kept pounding his trembling legs with his hands.

"Damn it...damn it, stop trembling! Stop it now! We have to win this battle no matter what."

Usopp kept pounding his legs with his fists.

I hope my legs will stop trembling.

At the very least, I need to appear a little calmer in front of Luffy and his crew.

If you're scared yourself, who would be willing to help a coward?

However, Usopp could not control his inner fear no matter what.

Despite my best efforts, my legs don't seem to be stopping.

"This isn't acting."

"It's not like we 2.7 usually play pirate games in the forest."

“Those guys are real pirates, ruthless pirates, Captain Crook who kills without batting an eye.”

"Even if I'm scared, I admit I'm scared, so what?"

"Because we are facing real pirates."

"They really do kill people."

"They're the Krabatel pirate ship, you know."

Chapter 676 is obviously praising you, can't you tell?

　"It is a pirate ship led by Captain Kuro in all its glory."

"I'm scared, so what? That's normal, right? As an ordinary person, being afraid of real, ruthless pirates is nothing for you to laugh at."

"But it doesn't matter. If you really want to laugh at me, then laugh all you want."

"I know I'm a coward because I've never met a real pirate."

"Although my father is a true pirate, I have never met him since I was born."

"Although I am proud that my father was a pirate, I have never actually met a real pirate."

"Not to mention... this time it's that treacherous and ruthless Captain Crowe again."

“If you’re scared too, then you can back out. I’ll challenge Captain Crook alone.”

"Even if Captain Crook kills me, I will do everything in my power to protect my village."

"I don't need your pity. Don't look at me with those pitying eyes."

Usopp spouted so much nonsense just to cover up his inner emptiness and fear.

Luffy and his two companions stood there listening to this guy's speech.

"Your speaking skills are really amazing."

At that moment, Nami raised her eyebrows slightly, then looked at the other person and began to praise them.

Are you praising me or mocking me?

Usopp asked.

"Of course I'm praising you, can't you tell?"
