Miraculous Skill

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Lord Usopp."

Looking at the drawing he had created, Kanjuro showed a satisfied expression and said, "I have finished drawing it according to your requirements."

"So fast?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp quickly ran over and said, "Let me see."

After glancing down at the drawing Kanjuro made, Usopp wore a satisfied expression.

"It's drawn very well!" Usopp said, giving a thumbs up. "This is exactly what I wanted!"

With this, I'll definitely scare Sugar into fainting again.

"Is this really good...?" Kin'emon's lips twitched as he said, "I feel there's still a slight sense of regret left."

"A pity is just right."

Usopp raised his head and said, "This will do."

Although it looks a bit abstract, he actually finds it more useful.

Does this thing actually work?

Looking at the painting on the wall, Galette wore a complicated expression.

Isn't this just a simplified version of Usopp?

Well, to be precise, it's a simplified version that's been made ugly.

How would I know?

Perona shook her head and said, "But since he says it can work, then it should."

As for what exactly Usopp was going to do, she didn't know.

Galette paused for a moment upon hearing this. This Straw Hat Pirates really is a bunch of reckless fools.

Then, she looked at Perona and said, "By the way, why didn't you use the ghost to notify Straw Hat?"

Do you think I didn't do that?

Perona said with a hint of helplessness, "I sent Ghost to find Luffy as soon as the princess mentioned this, but it seems it's too late now."

As for that Ghost Clone that was watching Zoro's performance earlier?

She laughed at the man's effeminate voice because it was so funny, and then she was smashed to pieces by the man's Haki stone.

She was quite angry at the time, since that meant she couldn't continue watching Zoro fight.

"Looks like we can only rely on this guy then."

Galette turned her gaze back to Usopp, intending to see what he would do.

"Finally done."

Usopp bent down, hoisted the 'bullets' he had prepared onto his shoulder, and grinned, "Now it's my turn to shine."

"Is this a bullet?" Kin'emon asked in surprise.

This thing looks like a meat roll wrapped up in leaves. Does it actually work?

"Yes, this thing is called the Decay Bug Star," Usopp nodded. "It's the secret weapon to take down Sugar."

After saying that, Usopp turned to Violet and said, "Viola, I need your Clairvoyance now."

"Tell me everything about the Sugar shipment, and don't say a single wrong word."

"Good."

Violet nodded, then closed his eyes to observe Sugar's situation.

"Can we really rely on Clairvoyance alone?" Kin'emon swallowed hard.

Is it really feasible to snipe from such a long distance, relying solely on Clairvoyance for intelligence?

If even the slightest mistake occurs, Luffy and Lord Law will be finished.

"There's no other way," Usopp said in a deep voice. "Sugar has already started her operation, and it will be too late if we wait any longer."

"I'm a sniper, providing support is my duty."

"What I need to do is eliminate the enemy without them even realizing it, and protect my comrades!"

After saying that, Usopp got up and began fiddling with his giant slingshot, getting himself into peak condition.

Kin'emon paused for a moment upon seeing this, then silently swallowed.

Just as Lord Usopp said, this is the only thing they can do now.

"Viola, I'm counting on you," King Riku said in a deep voice, "You must help them."

"Yes, Father King."

Violet, who had been observing the situation, suddenly opened her eyes after speaking and said, "Sugar is now walking towards Straw Hat and Law, and they are already very close."

"Okay, I understand."

"How close is 'very close'?" Perona asked quickly.

"We're close enough to see them."

"Are we that close...?"

Perona's expression turned serious. If Sugar were to run into Luffy and his crew, it would be all over.

Usopp, hurry up, kid!

"Keep a close eye on them!" Usopp said, sweating profusely.

After saying that, he continued to fiddle with his huge slingshot, ready to launch it at any moment.

After making all the preparations, Usopp pulled down and put on the special glasses on his head, then drew back the slingshot and aimed it at the distant Royal Palace.

"Tell me her exact location in the courtyard, quickly!"

"Can you see the windows on the Outer Wall Tower?" Violet asked quickly.

Usopp glanced at the distant Royal Palace upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Alright."

Violet:!!!

A hint of surprise flashed in Violet's eyes. She had only asked tentatively, but it turned out the other person could really see it?

Even she can only see that far thanks to her Devil Fruit powers.

This guy must be a monster too.

'This guy...'

A flicker of surprise crossed Galette's eyes as she overheard their conversation. Could his naked eye really see that far?

His eyesight is really impressive. Is that why he's so confident he can snipe Sugar?

Perona, standing to the side, chuckled and then raised an eyebrow at Galette, as if to say, "Isn't our Straw Hat Pirates' sniper amazing?"

Seeing this, Galette smiled helplessly; the Straw Hat Pirates were indeed no ordinary people.

"It's good that we can see them," Violet said. "We can see the Straw Hat from the window slightly to the right of center; there's an iron frame on the window."

After speaking, Violet paused for a moment, then continued, "I have another discovery."

"Your Straw Hat Pirates' Merry is in the Flower Field right now, with Rebecca. Should we contact her to help the Straw Hat?"

Perona's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing her words. That's right, if Merry is over there, it means we can get in touch!

With that in mind, Perona took out Den Den Mushi) and planned to contact Merry.

"There's no time!"

Usopp shouted, "Sugar is almost at Luffy and the others! It's too late to find Merry!"

From the Den Den Mushi to the explanation, and then to Merry Luffy's side, this process took quite a while.

What if Sugar succeeds at this point?

Then they'll have nowhere to even cry.

Perona, stunned by the shout, realized it was too late.

"Alright, enough talk," Usopp said. "Viola, tell me the details of the window's construction."

"One vertically, three horizontally."

"It's about 1.2 meters from the ground level of the courtyard to the bottom of the window," Violet said. "Sugar is about the same height."

After saying that, Violet paused for a moment, then continued, "Right now... Sugar is following behind the Straw Hat, and it looks like she's trying to get their attention by crying."

"That despicable fellow..."

Perona gritted her teeth; even as a child, she would never have resorted to such a method to ambush someone.

That brat named Sugar is definitely no good.

"What are the dimensions of the lower window frame?" Usopp continued.

"50cm horizontally, 40cm vertically"

"That's really difficult..."

Usopp was sweating even more; trying to snipe Sugar under these circumstances was extremely difficult.

But for Luffy's sake, he couldn't give up.

Thinking of this, Usopp continued, "Where is Sugar?"

"Still behind the pillar... that was close!"

Violet was so frightened by Luffy almost getting Luffy by Sugar that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Once touched by that light, airy hand, one's existence will be completely erased.

After hearing Violet's words, Usopp's face broke out in even more sweat, clearly under greater pressure.

"Oh no, the Straw Hat are back!" Violet exclaimed. "Sugar will be running into them soon."

"Ugh..."

Perona instinctively wanted to say something, but fearing she might disturb Usopp, she forcibly kept her mouth shut.

"At this point, all we can do is trust him," Galette said in a deep voice.

When you can't offer any help, the best thing you can do is avoid causing trouble for others.

Besides, even if Straw Hat really makes a mistake, there's always Xi Yan to cover for him, right?

Therefore, Galette didn't feel very nervous at all from beginning to end.

"You're right."

Perona nodded; all she could do now was trust Usopp.

'We can't afford to make a mistake.'

Usopp, his eyes fixed on the window in the distance, thought to himself, 'If I fail, Luffy will disappear from my memory, and that's something I absolutely cannot tolerate.'

But as he looked, Usopp felt his vision blurring, and the windows in the distance became increasingly indistinct.

Clearly, this is a change caused by excessive mental stress.

Usopp was under immense pressure at that moment.

"Sugar has entered the center of the window frame," Violet quickly reported. "And it's gradually approaching the two of them."

"Them..."

Before Violet could finish speaking, she noticed that Usopp seemed to be acting strangely.

"Usopp?"

Perona and Galette quickly looked at Usopp, and then noticed that Usopp was covered in cold sweat.

Is this... due to excessive stress?

Yes, Usopp is under a lot of pressure because he can't bear the consequences of making a mistake.

The thought of this made his body tremble uncontrollably.

"Usopp, you..."

"My body is trembling uncontrollably..." Usopp said with difficulty, "The thought of Luffy and the others being turned into toys makes me..."

"Do you need me to treat you?"

As she spoke, Perona summoned a Negative Ghost.

This thing might have a negative effect on others, but it might not have the same effect on Usopp.

But this time, Usopp didn't answer Perona's question; instead, he became lost in the scene he had just imagined.

In that scene, he fired the bullet while his body was trembling, which caused the bullet to deviate from its original trajectory and hit the wall.

For this reason, Luffy and Law were turned into toys by Sugar.

'Luffy!!'

"Usopp?"

"Usopp?!"

"Usopp!!!"

"Ah?!"

Usopp suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that everything he had just experienced was merely a hallucination.

His bullet didn't fly, and Luffy wasn't turned into a toy.

"You better pull yourself together!" Perona said, her big eyes wide. "Luffy's still waiting for you!"

They can only rely on this guy now. If even he's too scared to fight, what can they do?

"I know."

After saying that, Usopp bit his tongue, forcing himself to perk up.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"I'm sure I'll hit the target this time!"

Usopp's body stopped trembling, and his eyes gradually sharpened.

"This time?"

Galette was taken aback. What did she mean by "this time"?

This guy didn't even fire a shot.

Usopp ignored Galette behind him, staring intently at the distant window, his arms as steady as two iron spikes.

'Hey, Luffy!'

'Without your voyages, I have no meaning!'

'If you're not here, who will defeat Doflamingo?!'

'So you absolutely must survive!'

'Just you wait, Sugar, I will not let your scheme succeed!'

Just then, Usopp found himself entering a very magical state.

He... seemed to have 'seen' the people inside the Royal Palace!

No, to be precise, he sensed the presence of Luffy and his two companions!

Breath?

'Is this the Observation Haki that Xi Yan mentioned?'

Usopp's gaze, fixed on the three auras, instantly changed.

He never dreamed he would Awakening Observation Haki under these circumstances, but... it suited him perfectly!!!

"Go, Grow Up Black Kabuto!"

"Kill him!"

"Ultra-long Distance - Decay Bug Star!"

"Bump!"

The next moment, the bullet fired from the slingshot reacted in mid-air and then rushed towards the distant Royal Palace at an extremely high speed.

"Whoosh~"

"It's been fired!"

Watching the 'bullet' disappear into the distance, Kin'emon clenched his fists nervously. Could Lord Usopp succeed?

Soon, under their watchful eyes, the bullet changed.

Use the Fire Star as the first booster, slightly raising it while separating the rear part.

While changing direction, reduce weight.

Two seconds later, the second booster activated, changing the bullet's direction and putting it into horizontal flight, successfully directing the bullet that had entered the Flower Field towards the Royal Palace.

Then, the outer shell detached, and the bullet advanced horizontally, heading straight for the lower left corner of the window frame on the Outer Wall Tower.

It pierced precisely through the wall, heading straight for its target!

This incredible feat left Violet completely stunned.

This man named Usopp actually fired the bullet, successfully sending it flying towards Sugar!

"Um?"

Sugar paused for a moment upon noticing the special bullet, and then the bullet awakened the deepest, most terrifying memories within her.

That memory is of Usopp breathing fire.

"Ah!!!"
