Jango kicks Piiman away with a heavy blow (SFX: DOKA!!), shouting, "...KILL ALL OF YOU!!!" Kaya cries out in horror, "PIIMAN-KUN!!" as the boy is sent flying into Ninjin and Tamanegi, leaving all three kids piled on the ground (SFX: DOSA...!!). Desperate, Kaya holds the pen to her own throat and threatens, "SINCE YOU WON'T LISTEN... I WILL KILL MYSELF! AND YOU WON'T GET THE WILL!!" Jango panics, sweating profusely: "WAH!! WAIT!! DON'T MAKE A STUPID DECISION!!" He realizes that if he doesn't get the signed will, he will be in massive trouble with Kuro. Quickly changing his tune, Jango says, "OKAY, I'LL LET THE KIDS GO!

Kaya begins writing the will as Jango watches closely, reminding her, "DON'T FORGET TO MARK IT WITH YOUR THUMBPRINT." Nearby, the three kids lie on the ground, pretending to be unconscious. One of them whispers, "If we pretend to stay unconscious, will we live...?" Another replies, "I think so... Kaya-san have saved us..." But they remember Usopp's teachings: "Didn't the captain always say that if you know you're gonna lose, then you must flee?" The third boy tearfully responds, "BUT CAPTAIN IS A LIAR!!! Now, he's bravely fighting alone!!! He was all covered in blood... and still wanted to protect us. We can't let Kaya-san die... We are the Usopp Pirate Group!
