My name's Usopp. Though I named myself pretty well, because I am a sniper, after all - I'm the sniper for the Straw Hat pirates, my crew.

And I've got to go home! They'll be waiting for me! Cloud Ginko, I know I asked this before, but do you seriously want to come with me? It'll be really dangerous. Every person on the crew's got a bounty

Usopp, huh? I like that. Usopp the Great Sniper...

Marines and monsters and crazy powers won't keep me from tracking you down. And don't worry, I'm staying around until I say goodbye to everyone.

[longnosedliar]

Sniper King, actually! [It's even on his bounty poster!] But yeah, I like my real name too. I was named after my dad, Yasopp.

Yeah, I think you can take all of them on, though I hope you don't have to take the marines on at all.

[feathered_earth]

Sniper King? Gosh! I bet there aren't a lot of those around.

I'll just be very polite to the marines and very definite with the monsters about my agenda.

[longnosedliar]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one! But uh, if you come, don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

[coughcoughshank]

I hope you find your crew all right! And I hope I can visit, maybe.

[longnosedliar]

I'll find them. And if I don't, they'll find me, I know they will. If you come and visit, I'll make sure there are lots of sweets for you to eat!

[coughcoughshank]

I'll look forward to that, then ♥

[live_ringer]

A bounty on your head, hm? Quite the little outlaw, aren't you?

[He's not sure if he believes it, given Sniper's penchant for yarns. But even if it isn't true, he could humour him this time.]

[longnosedliar]

Yeah! Well, most of the other members of my crew have much bigger bounties... but even the smaller ones count.

[live_ringer]

Oh, I'm sure you could make up for the disparity, in time. Just a matter of doing double time on the looting and pillaging, or whatever other pirate activities you have in store.

[longnosedliar]

Oi, we're not bad pirates! We don't loot and pillage and kill and all that stuff! [Beat.] Okay, maybe a little looting.

[weaver_girl]

It sounds--fantastic and dangerous. But if you have good friends by your side, you can overcome anything!

[longnosedliar]

It'll be a great adventure! And I've definitely got good friends by my side.

[weaver_girl]

Then there's nothing you need to fear too much.

I would love to see your world some day, but maybe once there might be a little less danger? Are you planning on taking your journal with you?

[longnosedliar]

How much danger you're in really depends on where you are. East Blue - that's where my village is - is pretty sleepy unless pirates attack, and even those pirates are pretty two-bit. It just starts getting dangerous when you sail out into the Grand Line. It's really beautiful, though, I'm sure you'd like it.

Do you think the journals will keep on working? I hadn't really thought about it, but if it's a possibility, I'm definitely bringing mine along.

[crimson_seeker]

May the winds blow fair wherever you need to go. Sounds like the voyage will be stormy enough as it is.

Usopp. How do I say that?

[longnosedliar]

It won't be easy, but it will be [is there even a good enough word to use here?] good. Really good.

It's like Ooh-sopp.

[crimson_seeker]

Yeah. I understand. If I had such comrades back in my world, I wouldn't be sticking around here. [A pause.] Well, it's--difficult. Staying is better right now.

Somehow, it sounds like you, my friend.

[longnosedliar]

I think... the important thing about staying is that it's your choice and you can leave whenever you want. And you've met comrades here, haven't you?

More like me than Sniper ever did, I think! But I don't mind if people call me by either one. It's been so long.
