I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Thirty minutes ago, at the Dressrosa Kingdom's underground trading port, whispers were heard from a container on a cargo ship.

"Hey? Where did that toy soldier guy go? Isn't he the captain?" Usopp was uneasy.

Several palm-sized dwarfs responded one after another:

"The captain has a very important mission. He must completely defeat Doflamingo, who is unable to deploy, the moment the SOP operation succeeds!"

"That's right! He's already heading towards the palace with a few Tontata people!"

"Come on! Captain~~"

"Because we have the hero Usoland leading the charge! Please take command of the SOP operation to scare Sucrose!"

Usopp suddenly became confused...

At this time, Rambo pointed to a strange building in the distance and said, "That building that looks like a sea anemone is the cadre tower. Our target, Sucrose, and her bodyguard, Torrepol, are inside there. We have to find a way to sneak in."

Just as they were plotting, two patrolling guards heard a noise inside the container and rushed in: "Hey! Who are you guys slacking off here? Which ship are you two from?"

Usopp panicked and tried to make up a lie, and Robin raised her hands as if to break their necks.

The little people had already taken action: "Rambo!"

"understand!"

Just the blink of an eye.

"Hey hey? A fairy appeared!!"

"My clothes were stripped off!!"

The two big men who were stripped naked trembled, and then the two little men jumped high and hit the two big men's foreheads with their furry things.

"Duntata Fighting Technique - Tail Hammer!"

K.O.!

Usopp saw it and was horrified: "...it smashed right into the floor!"

The two little humans handed over the guards' clothes: "Hurry up and change... Usopp Lando, Robin Lando."

"Usopp is so smart! He actually pretended to be scared to attract the enemy's attention!" The naive dwarfs didn't doubt Usopp's intention at all.

"You... do all of you have such strong power?" Usopp was stunned and thought of something.

"Yes, they are all at that level, but the Nolando clan can easily defeat the sea kings. We are far behind!"

Uh... what kind of monster do these guys take me for? But then again, if I rely on them, maybe I can win without even having to fight!

Thinking of this, Usopp became full of confidence. After changing into the guard uniform, his face was full of arrogance: "Listen up everyone! I, Usoland, now give the official order! The other party is just a young girl, we will rush over and scare her to death! Brothers, follow me... No, brothers, follow me!"

"Yes!"

Although they were very imposing, after leaving the container, the group acted stealthily and quietly took advantage of the guards' inattention to sneak into the cadre tower, hid outside Sugar's children's hut, and secretly observed the situation inside.

"That's Trebol and Sugar, right?" Robin used the power of her fruit to grow a pair of eyes on the wall of the room and found that there were only two people in the room. One was an old, sloppy man wearing a quilt-like cloak, with a hunched back and a long snotty nose. The other was a little girl of eight or nine years old wearing a dress and carrying a basket of grapes.

"She's really a little girl." Usopp peeked in with a little confidence.

"That's right, she loves eating grapes the most and eats them all the time!" Rambo was absolutely sure.

"So what?" Usopp looked confused.

"Our strategy is this! Look at this!" Rambo held up a purple grape. "It's filled with the world's hottest seasoning—Tartar Barbasco!"

"Is it..." Usopp is very familiar with this trick.

"I'll go put it in the basket! In our Dongtata tribe's 50-person experiment, 100% of them fainted from the spiciness, and 18 of them nearly died from it, hehe!"

"You have tried it!" Usopp admired this spirit of courage to experiment with oneself. When he invented Chili Star, he only tasted a little bit.

"Hmm! Give this to Sugar! We can't afford to lose this!"

"Okay! Leo! Just go ahead! I'll cover you."

"What a reliable support!" The dwarfs' eyes were filled with admiration and trust, and they began to cheer Leo up: "Come on! Leo!"

"No problem!" Leo carefully walked into the room holding the grapes. "I'll be back soon! Rescue our companions and recapture the Kingdom of Dressrosa. Success or failure depends on this!"

“Uooohhhh!!” The dwarfs raised their weapons.

"Shh! I told you to keep your voice down!" Usopp almost shouted.

At this moment, Torrepol in the room stretched out his finger and threw a drop of sticky liquid onto the wall. There was a loud bang, and a hole was punched through the wall near the roof, and a fly fell down.

"What's wrong? Torrepol." Sugar asked curiously.

"Um...it's okay, there was a fly."

Seeing this, Robin grabbed Leo who was about to charge, "Wait a minute! Leo!"

"What are you doing? Robin Lando..."

"I'm sorry, you'll get caught if you rush over like this! That fly was shot right between the eyebrows. To be able to hit such a small creature so accurately, Torrepol's eyesight is extraordinary. This definitely won't work."

"—So Robin, what do you have in mind?"

Robin then led everyone into hiding again, summoned a clone, and rushed into the room in a hurry: "Report! Lord Trebol! Captain Ibus's pirate group in the fourth district of the trading port has clashed with us! Because of the transaction amount, they want to confront the leaders, and our people have been injured."

"Huh? You're not afraid of the Joker name! I'll be right over~~"

Led by Robin's clone, Trebol left the room.

……

Because Torrepol would soon discover he had been tricked, the dwarfs attacked directly and force-fed Sugar the grapes.

"Will Usolando not fight with us?"

Usopp opened his mouth and said, "It's easy for me to go, but the reason I'm not going now is to boost your confidence! Don't worry, if there are any problems, I will come forward to help you solve them!"

"Wow! So reliable!"

With that, a group of Dwarfs stormed into the room. "Surrender, Sugar! We're here to liberate those of our tribe who you've forced to work in the factory! And we're going to knock you down and render you unconscious."

“…Unconscious? Hmm…but I didn’t know your people were captured?” Sugar said with an innocent look on her face.

"Huh? I don't know. That's okay." The dwarfs put down their weapons, full of trust between people.

Usopp outside the door turned into a fishman and said, "It's okay! She lied to you!"

"Ahhh!! That was...that was dangerous. Please return our people to us!" The dwarfs became ferocious again.

"Hmm... who told you that? With your intelligence, you shouldn't be able to realize you've been tricked." Sugar ate a grape and tossed the basket aside. "Dontata clan, you haven't been in or out of the palace for over a year, and you suddenly showed up. It seems someone was instigating you!"

"Everyone! Take her down and pry her mouth open!!"

"How annoying... You actually treat me like a weakling..." Sugar's expression started to turn serious.

The dwarfs stopped talking and swarmed forward. Sugar's hands moved as fast as lightning, transforming into phantoms and swatting flies. "Little bear toys! Follow my orders and kill all the invaders in the cadre tower!"

In an instant, the dwarfs touched by her turned into little bear dolls holding swords after landing on the ground, and rushed towards the remaining dwarfs with swords uncontrollably. Some of the dwarfs who were not touched by Leo obviously lost their memory of their companions and the scene just now.

"A lot of toy soldiers suddenly appeared!" Leo was surprised at first, then his eyes were sharp: "Go! Defeat the enemy!"

Then the little people and the toys started fighting, and Sucrose picked up the Den Den Mushi: "Torrebol, come back! You've fallen into a trap!"

In the trading area, Torrebo, who had reacted, became furious and used his ability to attack Robin. However, Robin in front of him suddenly turned into petals and disappeared.

Seeing that things were not going well, Robin immediately activated her ability to grow several arms on Sugar, restrained Sugar, and pinched her mouth open: "Leo! Now is the time!"

Just when she was about to succeed, Sugar's palm bent incredibly and touched Robin's hand. The careless Robin turned into a doll, and Usopp next to him also lost his memory of Robin.

Seeing that things were not going well, he ran away.

Torrepol rushed back and was furious. He threw a ball of mucus and stuck all the dwarfs on it.

"Hehehe... these guys are going to come a few more times!" Torrepol looked at the little guys who were wiped out and breathed a sigh of relief.

"They wanted me to eat this...it must be poison." Sugar grabbed a grape.

At that moment, Usopp, who was desperately running in the trading area, had tears in his eyes and was in an inner struggle. "I escaped successfully! Forgive me, heroes of the Tontatta tribe. I will draw your heroic deeds into a comic and spread it to future generations. We will call ourselves the upright and kind Tontatta tribe. What a resounding name! I must survive! Why hasn't Franky come yet? How can a hero die for boasting? Bastard!"

The toys working around them heard the noise in the cadre tower and began to discuss: "Is someone rebelling against the Don Quixote family?"

"Hey! Hey! Get to work! Stop watching the show, you bastards." Torrepol's scolding voice came from the radio.

Then, the weak voices of the dwarfs rang out over the radio: “Usolando…Usolando…Usolando!!”

"Usolando? They mentioned this name before. Are they accomplices?" Sugar looked curious.

"Usolando... is our hero!" Although Leo's voice on the radio was weak, one could hear a hint of smile and immense trust in his voice!

"Hehehe... Hero? So he's here to save you?"

"That's right... Phew... It's not just us. Usoland said he'd take care of everything! Including the toys working here every day, and our compatriots enslaved in the factory! Usoland, he's the legendary hero who saves everything!"

"What a joke!!" the timid Usopp shouted as he ran.

"You guys are so pathetic! You've been cheated again, right?" Sugar shook her head speechlessly.

"Eh? Really?" The dwarfs believed it again...

"You're injured like this, but they still don't come to rescue you! Is there anything more convincing than this? Where is your hero? He must be hiding in some corner, laughing at you idiots! Hehehehe!!" Torrepol ruthlessly exposed the sarcasm.

"Shut up!! Usolando would never lie! Because he said he would come to save us no matter what happens!" Leo shouted at the top of his lungs on the radio.

"That's right! That's it!!" The dwarfs regained their confidence: "He has already made it clear to us! The hero will never lie to us!!"

A long-nosed man who was running away stopped and cried bitterly.

At this moment, a scream was heard over the radio: "Crack!"

"Hehehe! So this is how the dwarfs cry before they die. Pi-ka! Interesting, interesting!"

Immediately afterwards, screams were heard over the radio.

"Stop! Stop!" Usopp covered his ears and wanted to continue running away, but his body involuntarily ran back to the cadre tower. With timid tears in the corners of his eyes, he screamed hysterically: "All of you stop it!!"

"U...Usolando!!" Those dwarf humans who had lost their fighting ability and were lying on the ground were all excited.

"How much do you really want to believe me, you idiot little people! What that guy said was absolutely right! I lied to you all!"

"Hey??"

"I'm not a legendary hero, nor am I Usoland. I'm the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper, a pirate whose name makes even children cry. My name is Usopp!"

Leo shed tears of disbelief, holding a last glimmer of hope: "Even if he's a pirate, he's still a hero, right?"

"How many times do I have to tell you this! You've been tricked by me!!"

"Hehehehe - did you come back just to expose your own lies?" Torrepol laughed.

"--No, they'll wait for me until they die..." Usopp clenched the slingshot in his hand. "Rather than being unable to sleep peacefully because of this, I'd rather repay their trust, gamble my life and die a heroic death!"

He pulled the trigger on his giant slingshot. "My name is Usopp! Remember the Tontatta clan! If I die, please build a statue for me next to Nolando's statue! From now on, I want to truly be your legendary hero!"

"Wutong Leaf Shuriken!"

As Usopp released the slingshot in his hand, the green leaves in the sky turned into countless sharp darts, rushing towards Trebol and Sugar like rain.

Usopp faced Trebol, one of the four cadres. The disparity in power was too great and could not be made up for by determination and will. As Law said, the weak did not even have the right to choose how to die. Soon, the wounded Usopp was defeated in front of the dwarfs.

He was also bound by Torrepol with mucus and lost his combat ability, just when Torrepol went to answer Mingge's call.

Sugar stuffed the grape, which he believed to be poisonous, into Usopp's mouth. Instantly, a piercing sensation as hot and explosive as a volcanic eruption spread rapidly from the tip of Usopp's tongue like a tide: "Aa ...

The sudden severe pain was completely unbearable for Usopp, and he couldn't help but let out a shrill howl.

Usopp's tongue curled wildly like a lit fuse, sending a blazing flame spurting out of his mouth. His eyes were wide open, nearly popping out of their sockets. His face was distorted, a look of extreme pain and terror on his face. It was a horrific sight!

Sugar, who was standing in front of Usopp, was terrified by the scene before her, and endless fear suddenly surged in her heart: "Aa ...

Her legs went weak, her tear glands were strongly stimulated, her face was filled with horror, and she fainted on the ground.

"Hello? Sugar!!" Torrebol, who had just discovered the phone call, was shocked. "What's going on? Wake up!"

The dwarfs wept bitterly, "Usolando... suffered such a severe injury, all for us... We will erect a bronze statue for you, because you are our well-deserved... hero!!"

At the same time, the Robin puppet beside him turned back to its original form, and the trading area downstairs suddenly erupted with roars and destruction.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Torrepol immediately fled with the unconscious Sucrose.

……

When the people rescued in the underground trading area found Usopp, the giant mercenary Helding lifted him up high. At this moment, there was suddenly a loud earth-shaking noise, and a ray of light came through the ground, and it fell directly on the legendary hero with incredible precision, as if a miracle had come.
