I think it'd be more interesting if Yasopp had to leave when Usopp was already born.
This was good, and I like how it's a bit darker than the other stories. :)

[c_callosum]

You...dark person, you! :-) I'm glad you liked it!

Wow...
Shanks dear, you really ARE an ass.
But I mean that with as much love as possible! ^^
Seriously, though, this is so sad! Poor Banchina!! Poor Usopp!! T_T

[c_callosum]

Yeah...I always feel bad for them. Actually, I find the timeline a bit weird now...it's like Yasopp left, and then came back and had Usopp? Or was Banchina pregnant when he left and he never even saw Usopp? (But then he shouldn't know he had a son...) Either way, I still think he's awful for leaving them!!! Even though he's cool too...argh, I can't decide what to think about Yasopp :-P

[dandywonderous]

Well, maybe they were traveling together and Yasopp met Banchina, and so he left the crew, thinking he wanted to be a family man, and then later he felt the call of the sea, and Shanks came by again and he joined up again. From the way he talks about him to Luffy, I'm betting that he was at least with Usopp for a year or so...

[c_callosum]

Interesting. I never thought of Banchina not being from the island Usopp grew up on! He does sound like he was a father for some time. I hope Oda gets round to dealing with Usopp/Yasopp issues sometime. Eh, I'm pretty sure he will.

Ooh, I like the whole shiver of premonition thing. That would freak Benn out so much! Thanks for the comment!

Ouch, Shanks... That gotta hurt a little in the soul... It's always been intresting thinking about the Yasopp / Usopp relation, what the father thinks of the son, and so on.

[c_callosum]

Yes...I think that most of the Strawhats still have some mystery concerning their past, e.g. who one or both of their parents were and how they ended up orphaned. For Usopp the only big mystery would seem to be why his father left and how their relationship will pan out. It's very interesting, and I'm sure Oda will touch on it sometime, when the Strawhats officially meet up with the Red-Haired Pirates. :-D

I must smack Shanks now. But not too hard. ._.

Eeh! Baby Usopp! X3

[c_callosum]

*smack!* I've done it for you :-P

Baby Usopp would be super-cute! Can't think how Yasopp could bear to leave him...
