Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 110: To carry out a lie through to the end—that's what a big liar is!

Picking up where we left off, after seeing Usopp escape, Django wanted to give chase, but Kuro stopped him, saying smugly, "Let him go. Nobody will believe him anyway. Go back and gather your men. Proceed as planned tomorrow..."

Meanwhile, Usopp, looking panicked and with a grim face, shouted at the top of his lungs through the village, "Pirates are coming! Pirates are attacking the village! Everyone, take refuge quickly! Pirates are really coming!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers, as usual, grabbed their weapons and began chasing Usopp. Usopp tried to explain, but the villagers shouted at him, "Enough! How far are you going to take this joke! Do you think we'd actually believe you?"

Usopp tried to explain, but the villagers attacked him on the spot. Seeing this, Usopp had no choice but to run away while approaching Kaya's villa, shaking off the crowd and entering the villa again.

When Kaya saw Usopp, she wanted to apologize on behalf of Krabatel, but Usopp shouted, "Kaya! Get out of here with me right now! Krabatel is a pirate, and he's going to attack the village tomorrow, so..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kaya slapped Usopp across the face. Usopp stared at Kaya in shock as she tearfully scolded him, "Enough, Usopp! Krabatel did go a bit too far, but you actually slandered him as a pirate! That's outrageous!"

Usopp protested, "No... I'm not lying to you, Krabatel really is..."

However, Kaya still refused to believe that the butler who had diligently taken care of her for three years was a pirate, and angrily scolded Usopp on the spot: "Enough, you'd better leave now, I don't want to see you..."

Seeing this, Usopp panicked and grabbed Kaya, intending to forcibly take her away. However, he was discovered by Merry, another of Kaya's butlers. To protect Kaya, Merry decisively pulled out a pistol, aimed it at Usopp, and pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed Usopp's arm. Seeing Kaya's disappointment in him and the villagers chasing after him, Usopp could only flee in a disheveled state...

-

In the afternoon, Goten and his two companions, having found Luffy, woke him up. On their way back to the village, they found Usopp talking to his three underlings. When the underlings questioned him, "Captain Usopp! Is it true that you were so anxious to tell everyone that Kaya the butler was going to attack the village, and that the attackers were pirates?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp burst into laughter and said to the three of them nonchalantly, "Idiots, of course that was a lie. I didn't expect even you guys to be fooled. My acting skills as Captain Usopp are really quite good!"

Upon hearing this, the three children immediately shouted, "Idiot! We completely believed you! We never expected you to lie and say the other person was a pirate just to get revenge on Butler Kaya. We really misjudged you!"

The three continued to roar, "We've decided, we're breaking up with you. Go play your lying game by yourself!"

Watching the three leave completely, Usopp seemed to have made up his mind. At this moment, Goten asked, "Usopp, are your hands alright? Your wristbands are all red."

Nami quickly bandaged Usopp's wounds. When Luffy asked Usopp about his plans, Usopp smiled wryly and said to the four of them, "I've decided. I'm going to stop those pirates and make today's words a lie, just like always. That's the style of Captain Usopp!"

After saying that, his legs began to tremble involuntarily. When Usopp saw this, he slapped his thigh and argued, "I'm not trembling because I'm scared, I'm trembling because I'm excited, don't get me wrong."

Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others immediately decided to join the battle. Usopp, seeing this, said, "You don't need to pity me. This is my battle, so you don't need to join in..."

However, Zoro was the first to retort: ​​"Idiot, who would join a fight because of that kind of pointless sympathy?"

Luffy added, "That's right, we fight because we want to fight, that's my style."

Nami joked, "I just wanted to take the opportunity to loot all their treasure..."

Goten remained silent...

Upon seeing this, Usopp immediately asked, "So what are your skills?"

Luffy – “Fight”

Zoro – “Chop”

Nami – “Steal”

Goten – “I'm cheering you on!”

Usopp – “I will hide.”

Upon hearing Goten and Usopp's words, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami immediately shouted speechlessly, "You two want to fight too! Especially you, Goten, what are you pretending to be, a weak little boy!"

After their banter, the group began preparations. To make the battle easier, they set up traps on the hillside along the pirates' likely route, pouring slippery oil on them before waiting...

-

Upon arriving at Kaya's side, Kuro also returned to the villa. The butler, Merry, immediately began recounting Usopp's slander against him. Kuro, however, remained silent and went to the table, looking at an exquisite glasses case, and asked in confusion, "What's this?"

Upon hearing this, Merry immediately explained, "That...that was a gift that Miss Kaya specially prepared for you. It was to celebrate the three years you've spent here and the care you've given Miss Kaya, so Miss Kaya carefully selected this gift!"

Upon hearing this, Kro threw the glasses on the ground and stomped on them until they shattered. Merry, shocked, demanded, "Krabatel, what are you doing? That was Miss's carefully chosen..."

At this point, Kuro bluntly laid his cards on the table, revealing his entire plan to Merry: "Heh heh heh... Now that things have come to this, I don't need to hide anything anymore. That fool Usopp was absolutely right, I'm a pirate, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates. I've been lying in wait for three whole years to take over this villa and everything in this village. Now the time is ripe..."

Upon hearing this, Merry immediately panicked and turned around to tell the young lady to run away quickly. However, the next second, Kro put long sword gloves on both hands and was seriously injured and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. She could only watch helplessly as Kro walked towards Kaya's room.

However, upon arriving at Kaya's room, for reasons unknown, Kro decided to spare Kaya's life for the time being. He did nothing and went to the villa entrance to wait for his men...

-

Finally, the sun rose, but Luffy's group was nowhere to be seen. Usopp exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! Could it be that they attacked from the other side of the hill? I thought the side they were plotting against was the one they chose to attack!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others were immediately shocked. Luffy asked first where the other side was, and Usopp said to keep going north. Luffy then dashed off, with Usopp following closely behind. However, Nami accidentally stepped on some oil and slid down the hillside, taking Zoro down with her.

Seeing this, Goten was speechless. Nami, who had slid down the hillside, immediately said to Goten, "Goten! Go stop those guys first. My treasure is still over there. We absolutely can't let them take it! If you protect my treasure well, I'll make sure you have enough pocket money in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Goten immediately left with the words, "Leave it to me!" and then quickly ran off to the other side...

When Usopp arrived at the pirates' attacking side, he was surprised to find that he had arrived at the battlefield even before Luffy. He was instantly dumbfounded and thought to himself, "What's going on?! Where did Luffy go? He was ahead of me and he was running so fast..."
