One Piece Chapter 40, page 14-15: USOPP PIRATE GROUP

The three kids stare at Usopp in complete shock, speechless. Piiman quietly asks, "CAPTAIN?" and they cry out, "WHAT...? THAT'S SO SUDDEN! BESIDES, DON'T YOU LOVE THIS VILLAGE, CAPTAIN? CAPTAIN, THAT'S A LIE! THAT'S ALSO A LIE, RIGHT!? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO USOPP PIRATE GROUP!?!". Usopp smiles and says, "AFTER SEEING THEM, I DECIDED. I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS VILLAGE". He then points forward dramatically and shouts, "THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON! BECAUSE THE PIRATE FLAG IS CALLING ME!

Usopp tells the crying kids, "THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, GUYS. I DON'T PLAN ON TELLING THE FOLKS IN THE VILLAGE, SAY BYE TO THEM FOR ME". The kids sob, "NO... I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT!!! DON'T GO, CAPTAIN". Usopp looks around the field and asks, "DO YOU REMEMBER THIS PLACE? THIS IS WHERE WE FIRST MET". A flashback panel shows a younger Usopp sitting on a wall, looking down at the three little kids and asking, "WHO ARE YOU LITTLE BRATS?" The kids reply, "BUT YOU'RE FAMOUS FOR YOUR LIES. YEAH, YOU'RE FAMOUS". Usopp yells, "I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT STORY!" before smiling and saying, "OKAY, YOU CAN CALL ME CAPTAIN USOPP FROM NOW ON. YOU GUYS ARE USOPP PIRATE GROUP!
