Chapter-148
—------------------
"Yes, that would be our best bet for now" Robin said as she replied to Usopp who seemed to be scared but Robin didnt say it would definitely work rather said it was our best option right now
She doesn't wanna give a fake hope to him which is the reason she told him the truth as then they wanted his answer now
"O-ok, i-i wi-will do it!" After a few moments of silence, Usopp finally said this as he made up his mind to do this even though his voice was shaking and his legs were trembling but he agreed
"Thats better" Robin said this as she thinks Usopp is not actually spineless as he seems to be which is actually quite a good thing
"But wh-what would happen if he caught me?" Usopp asked this with some hesitation as he is most worried about that part since if he got caught then he is afraid something bad would happen
"Hmmm maybe he will shoot you in the head or cut you into pieces then throw you into the sea" Robin said this unconsciously as he imagined the dark scenery
"!?!?!?" Usopp panicked immediately after hearing what Robin just said and the next moment he jumped backwards
His face has gone pale while he is continuously sweating as it becomes obvious as day what Robin has said has a great impact on Usopp
Yoriich couldn't help but look at Robin with a blank expression who is the culprit of this situation but he already knew about Robin's habit of making dark assumptions about the situations
"Dont worry, I will be there to protect you if something happens" Yoriichi opened his mouth and said this as he reassured him that nothing bad would happen to him
"R-really?" Usopp asked this shuttering voice as he looked at Yoriichi with Hopeful eyes even though Yoriichi somehow looked weak but considering the fact where he comes from, he can think that he is strong otherwise he would have survived
*nod*
Yoriichi immediately nodded his head as he said what he meant and he in fact he will protect him if anything goes wrong
"Th-thank you!" Usopp said this as he expressed his gratitude towards Yoriichi then came forward even though he is walking forward still it's easy to tell that fear hasn't completely gone from him yet
Since his face is still pale as his legs are still trembling but it's natural since till now he has always tried to run away from any danger and now
At least he has now hope that he will be protected from danger which is better than knowing he is on his own
"Oh yeah~ I will also protect you~" Robin said this as she joined the conversation, as previously she had just been playing a little prank but it seems that little prank worked a little too well on Usopp right now
"So dont worry~" Robin said this with a very sweet smile on her face as though she might not be as strong as Yoriichi but as long as she is not up against people from the New world then she knows she can handle it
Not to mention even without any Haki, her mastery of the Devil Fruit is plenty to take down multiple people at once
Usopp couldn't help but blankly stare at her since he dont believe much that she can protect him and it's not because of the fact that she is weak, but rather it was because he now thinks that He needs protection from her
Till now all the things Robin did greatly terrified him to the point that he couldn't think of her as anything good other than her beauty
Usopp can say with confidence that Robin might be the most beautiful woman he has seen in her life but unfortunately in her mind, she has a terrible personality which makes him think she hates him
Unknownly to Him, Robin dont hate him or anything at all rather in her eyes she just played little pranks on him but unfortunately in his eyes those aren't anywhere near so-called near pranks
As right now he is genuinely afraid of her right now thats why when she said she gonna protect him, he doesn't think she actually meant that
"C-can we do that tom-tomorrow, it's not lik-like I am a-afraid or any-anything but i just n-need time to do s-some imp-important work" Usopp said this with a shuddering tone as he couldn't help but want them to agree to this
Even though he said this but its clear that He is just making up things as in reality he is just scared and wants some time for himself to read
He might have agreed to what Yoriichi and Robin have said but still, he can't do it right now as he first wants to gather courage then do this
He believed he couldn't do it right now otherwise it might make a bigger mess rather than doing the right thing which is why he needed time to calm his heart right then mentally prepared himself to do the task, not to mention today he got too much information he needed to process
"Okay," Yoriichi replied to Usopp's request as he immediately agreed to him even though he knew he had lied but he knew he told the truth about the part when he said he would do it tomorrow
Moreover giving him time isn't a problem since they have time till Butler actually executes his plan and thinking it would be a good thing to give him time so that he can prepare himself considering the fact he is an coward
*Phew~*
"T-Thank you" Usopp said this after he released a sigh of relief seeing that Yoriichi agreed to his request as now he has the whole day to prepare himself even though he dont think he will get any rest when he knows what gonna happen thats why he will try to change that and not let those people succeed
