Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 112 The Straw Hat Pirates are officially formed!

Picking up where we left off, after defeating Kuro, Django immediately abandoned his crew and fled in disarray aboard the Black Cat Pirates' ship. When Luffy finally arrived, he found the battle was already over, so he yelled at Usopp, "Usopp! You better tell me which way is north!"

Usopp immediately retorted, "If you don't know the direction, why are you running so fast! Idiot!"

Even though he was in the wrong, Luffy still retorted defiantly, "Then...then you don't have a problem?"

Just then, Nami and Zoro arrived. Nami immediately noticed the injured Usopp and said to Zoro, "Zoro, go check on Usopp. I'll go see if our treasure is still there."

Zoro wanted to scold Nami for ordering him around, but she had already run off. Zoro had no choice but to put that aside for now and carry Usopp back to get treatment first...

On his way back, Usopp encountered his three underlings. As they prepared to tell everyone about Usopp's exploits, Usopp remarked, "There's no need. They can just continue living peacefully as if it were a lie..."

Upon hearing this, the three underlings admired Usopp even more. At this moment, Goten asked, "By the way, is the pirate warning not going to be carried out today?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately retorted loudly, "I'm already like this, can't I even have a day off? Cough cough..."

Seeing this, Goten quietly agreed, "That's true..."

-

A few days later, after recovering, Usopp immediately gathered his crew and solemnly said, "You three, listen carefully, starting today, the Usopp Pirates are officially disbanded!"

Upon hearing this, the three children immediately questioned loudly, "Why? Usopp just became the village hero!"

Usopp ignored the three and continued loudly, "I have made up my mind to become a true warrior of the sea, so I am going to set sail. When I return, the stories I tell will no longer be lies. Therefore, the Usopp Pirates are disbanding today. Even so, the three of you must never forget the oath of the Usopp Pirates: even if I am not here, you must not give up your ideals!"

The three children answered firmly, "I understand!"

Seeing this, Usopp officially announced: "The Usopp Pirates! Disband!"

-

The next day, Luffy and his crew also received Kaya's assistance: a large ship with a sheep's head. The butler, Merry, introduced it as, "Although the style is a bit old-fashioned, the frame structure is a light sailing ship with a triangular sail at the stern and a central rudder. It is called the 'Going Merry'."

While Merry was explaining how to use it, Goten was idly playing in the sand. After Merry finished speaking, a large package suddenly rolled down the hillside. Luffy and Zoro stopped it with their feet and discovered that it was Usopp, who was preparing to set sail...

After Usopp told Kaya about his determination to set sail, they were about to depart when they discovered that his pack was missing. At that moment, Goten said, "Oh, Usopp, the stuff you brought is quite delicious, not bad, not bad..."

Usopp turned around and saw that half of the food he had brought was already in Luffy and Goten's stomachs. Upon seeing this, Usopp shouted, "How dare you guys take other people's things without permission!"

Meanwhile, Luffy, while eating, said, "What are you talking about? Get on the ship, aren't we crewmates?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp was instantly moved and immediately shouted excitedly, "Then I'll be the captain!"

Luffy retorted without hesitation, "Idiot! I'm the captain!"

-

After Usopp joined the crew, Luffy promptly began designing the pirate flag. Goten, upon seeing Luffy's drawing skills, immediately mocked, "Luffy, you don't want to use something this ugly as your pirate flag, do you? People will laugh at you..."

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately retorted, "What did you say! What's ugly about Goten's flag? Explain yourself!"

Usopp came over upon hearing this and promptly asked, "Whose rag fell? And the pattern on it is so ugly..."

Nami came over and took a look, and also said sarcastically, "What is this drawing? Even a child's doodle is better than this."

Seeing the three of them laughing at him, Luffy pinned his hopes on Zoro. However, Zoro couldn't help but burst into merciless laughter after just one glance. Goten and the others also joined in the laughter, which infuriated Luffy, who jumped up and down, yelling at them, "Stop laughing! No one is allowed to laugh!"

After things calmed down, Usopp decisively offered to redraw it himself. Three minutes later, a long-nosed pirate flag appeared. Upon seeing this, Luffy and Zoro immediately threw a powerful punch at him, while scolding, "Who told you to draw your own flag!"

Three minutes later, the Straw Hat Pirates flag was finally completed, and everyone was satisfied. Usopp then painted the Straw Hat and Skull symbol on the sail, thus officially giving the Straw Hat Pirates a basic crew...

-

However, three days later, the Straw Hat Pirates faced their first crisis. Nami was seriously questioning Luffy: "Luffy, I prepared a month's worth of food, how could it all have disappeared in just three days? You actually ate a month's worth of food in just three days!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately raised his index finger and shouted, "Not three days, it's one day!"

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately delivered a powerful blow to Luffy's head, yelling, "What's so great about that! Idiot!"

Goten and Usopp were fishing nearby, trying to alleviate their food crisis. However, due to their bad luck, they couldn't catch a single fish for a long time. What they caught were either drowned corpses or completely useless wooden buckets.

At this moment, Nami took out the rice bucket, and Luffy was surprised to find that there were still a few grains of rice on the lid. Upon hearing Luffy's discovery, Goten, Usopp, and Zoro immediately joined the battle for the rice grains...

Nami was speechless at the sight. However, when she turned around, she found that the three people who had suddenly sneaked onto the ship were already taking their treasure and preparing to slip away. Before leaving, one of the men threw down a few rice balls, saying that they were for exchange.

The moment the four men saw the rice ball, they immediately started fighting over it. Nami, seeing this, shouted angrily at them, "What are you doing! They're bad guys! Stop them!"

However, Luffy nonchalantly retorted, "What does it matter? You stole that treasure anyway."

Zoro added, "Exactly, if a thief gets his stolen goods taken away, isn't that karma?"

Nami became even angrier upon hearing this and continued to shout, "What did you say! They're bad people! As pirates, are you just going to stand by and watch them take our treasure?"

After finishing his rice ball, Luffy wanted to ask the other person for a few more, but he was shot down. Only then did Luffy shout, "Nami, that guy really is a bad guy!"

Nami retorted, "Didn't I already say that!"

Seeing the thief about to slip away, Luffy decisively used his Gum-Gum Pistol to grab the enemy's mast, instantly rushing onto the enemy ship and smashing the mast of their small boat in the process. Upon seeing this, the three immediately shouted, "He's a Devil Fruit user just like Lord Golden Dragon!"

Luffy was puzzled by the Golden Dragon the other person was talking about. Then he noticed a little boy lying next to him, who seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the impact he had just experienced.

Just then, a large ship appeared in the distance. Upon seeing this, the three thieves immediately abandoned ship and fled. Before Luffy could react, the ship's captain unleashed a shockwave, instantly blasting Luffy and the small boat away. Zoro immediately jumped into the sea to save Luffy...

Meanwhile, Nami took the opportunity to sneak onto the attacking pirates' ship, while Usopp and Goten were temporarily blown in another direction along with the Going Merry due to the impact...
