  The adventure of Coby and his panions took a strategic detour as they arrived at an isnd with a Marine Base. The "Merry Go," now apanied by the captured Bck Cat Pirate Ship, carried more than just treasure—it held a signifit bounty in the form of the notorious Captain Kuro and Jango, along with their crew.

  Coby devised a pn that leveraged Usopp's ualent. He turo Usopp with a mission, his voice carrying seriousness as if they were about to ehe battlefield. "Look, Usopp, you are the best among us when it es to lying," he begaing the stage for what was to e.

  Usopp, slightly offended by Coby's straightforward assessment, couldn't hide his rea. "Oi," he protested, but Coby, focused oask at hand, tinued without pause.

  "Go to the Marine Base ahem you're here to turn over a previously executed Captain Kuro and Jango, with their creirate ship. All together, they should be worth more than 30 million. Got it? Use all your skills and don't let them intimidate you," Coby instructed with a firm yet encing tone.

  Usopp, visibly shivering at the thought of fag the Marines, voiced his . "What if they attack me?" he asked, the fear evident in his voice.

  Coby, uanding Usopp's apprehension, spped his shoulder, almost causing Usopp to cave in uhe weight of his hand. "They won't," he reassured fidently. "They'll assume you took down all of them. Yood."

  With Coby's words eg in his mind, Usopp gathered his ce. He khe importance of this task and the trust Coby had pced in him. Adjusting his clothes and puffing out his chest, Usopp set off towards the Marine Base, determio pull off the deception.

  Watg from the "Merry Go," Coby and the crew observed Usopp's performah a mix of amusement and awe. The sight of the Marines, usually so stern and authoritative, following Usopp around like a swarm of eager bees was both ical and astonishing. Usopp, now in full character as a 'super boss,' directed them with exaggerated gestures and an air of superiority. The marines were practically tripping over themselves to please him, their servility b on fear. It was a se so surreal, Coby couldn't help but wonder what fantastical tale Usopp had spun to and such respect.

  The Marihh in their duties, began a meticulous search of the Bck Cat Pirate Ship. Their movements were quid effit, yet there was a hesitan their as, as if they were afraid ering Usopp’s wrath. Coby watched ily, trying to gauge the situation. He could see a ranked officer, his body nguage taut with frustration and disbelief. The officer's curses were silent to the observers on the "Merry Go," but his furious arm waving and scowling face spoke volumes.

  Suddenly, the officer gestured sharply, and one of the Marines sprinted away, returning shortly with a hefty bag of mohe transfer of the bag to Usopp was doh an almost reverent care, as if it were a sacred ritual. Usopp, maintaining his haughty demeanor, accepted the bag with a nod, his posture radiating arrogance.

  Nami’s eyes were fixed on the bag of money, her gaze intense and calg. The sight of such wealth being handed over so readily piqued her i, sidering her lifelong pursuit of riches.

  Usopp, now in possession of the bounty, turo give a few more 'pointers' to the Marines. His instrus were delivered with a flourish, his hand movements grandiose, and his voice, though inaudible, clearly carried the tone of someone used to being obeyed. The Marines listened ily, nodding and murmuring affirmations, their respect for Usopp seeming to grow with every word he uttered.

  As Usopp cluded his impromptu lecture, he turned and began walking back towards the "Merry Go." His stride was fident, almal, a stark trast to the Usopp they all knew. His performance had been nothing short of a mastercss iion, and it had paid off spectacurly.

  Luffy watched Usopp’s return with a wide grin, his eyes shining with pride and amusement. "Usopp did it!" he excimed, uo tain his excitement. "He really fooled them!"

  Zoro, leaning against the ship's railing, let out a rare chuckle. "hought I'd see the day when Marines would bow down to Usopp," he remarked, his voice ced with amusement.

  Coby, Usopp's approach, felt a surge of admiration for his skill. "He is God Usopp for a reason."

  Nami’s eyes, still fixed on the bag of money, sparkled with a mixture of greed and respect. "Usopp, the great deceiver," she mused, a smile pying on her lips. "He might just be more dangerous than any of us."

  As Usopp boarded the "Merry Go," the crew gathered around him, their expressions a mix of curiosity and anticipation. Usopp, dropping his 'super boss' persona, grinned sheepishly, a hint of his usual self peeking through.

  "Suys," he said, his voice tinged with a mix of pride and embarrassment. "I might have exaggerated a bit."

  Luffy, uo tain his curiosity, burst out with a question. "What did you tell them, Usopp?"

  Usopp scratched his head, looking slightly abashed. "Well, I may have implied that I single-handedly defeated Kuro and Jango and that I was sidering joining the Marines as a high-ranking officer," he fessed, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

  The crew erupted in ughter, the absurdity of Usopp's story only adding to the hirity of the situation.

  As the ughter aement aboard the "Merry Go" began to subside, Nami's attention quickly shifted to the bag of money now in their possession. Her eyes, always sharp when it came to wealth, locked onto the bounty with a mix of greed and curiosity. "How much did they pay?" she asked, her voice eager and expet.

  Usopp, still basking in the success of his graion, couldn't help but grin broadly. "I vihem to pay more since I fixed their mistake," he boasted, his chest puffing out in pride. "After a phone call to the highest officer in the East Blue, a guy named Smoker, they agreed. They paid a total of 36 Million!"

  Nami's rea was instantaneous. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she nearly fainted upon hearing the amount. Quickly regaining her posure, she snatched the bag and stashed it away o the other treasures they had accumuted. Her as were swift and practiced. A little hoarder too used to hide riess. Coby chuckled at her antics.

  With the wind filling their sails and the new bounty secured, Luffy turo Coby, his face alight with the prospect of their adventure. "Where now, Coby?" he asked, his voice carrying the excitement and anticipation of a child.

  Coby, who had taken on the role of Vice-Captain and course pnner, paused for a moment, his mind rag through the possibilities. Then, with a knowing grin, he announced, "Have you heard of the floatiaurant?"

  Luffy's eyes shoh excitement, and the others perked up at the mention of the famous eatery. "I bet we find a cook there," Coby added, fueling their enthusiasm.

  Luffy let out a jubint 'woohoo' and decred, "Let's find a cook for the Pirate King's crew!" His simple yet iious energy spread among the crew, lifting their spirits.

  Nami, already at the helm, set the course, but all she had in mind was setting the course then t the money one by oo make sure the amount was correct. Her fingers danced over the navigational charts, plotting the most effit path to their destination. "Baratie, here we e."

  As the "Merry Go" cut through the waves, the crew busied themselves with various tasks. Zoro, ever the disciplined warrior started his training, the rhythmic sound of metal cutting the air with his every swing. Luffy, uo sit still, bounced around the ship, his energy boundless. Nami, after setting the course vanished inside. Coby watched the crew as Usopp came back with paint.
