Great Onmyoji of Pirates

Chapter 20 Crowe’s conspiracy

The wind blew the grass, and nervous and anxious shouts followed the sound of the wind to this peaceful village.

"Everyone! Something bad is going on. There are pirates! Pirates, everyone, run!" The long-nosed man with curly hair, carrying a crossbody bag, shouted loudly as he ran towards the village.

But Long Nose's words didn't seem to cause any movement. The smoke from the house still emitted smoke, and the house with the sound of laughter and eating was still full of laughter. It seemed that everyone was not afraid of pirates at all.

Long Nose ran from the edge of the village to the center of the village in one breath, and no one paid any attention to his words.

The expression of Long Nose in the center of the village changed, and Long Nose's proud smile and laughter appeared: "I lied to you! There are no pirates at all!"

The frying pan flew out of the house and hit the long-nosed head.

Snapped! "It hurts," Long Nose said, covering his head.

"Hey, I'll give you some color today!" Several adults came out of their houses with mops, rolling pins, brooms and other weapons in hand, with angry expressions on their faces.

"Hahahaha!" Long Nose smiled and ran away quickly into the thick bushes.

"Damn it! Let him run away again." Several adults did not catch Long Nose, put down their raised weapons and walked back to their houses.

After a while, on a tree, a long nose was lying on the branch, looking at the sky through the leaves.

"It's really good!" Long Nose said.

"Captain Usopp!" Two boys about ten years old shouted to the long nose on the tree.

It turns out the guy with the long nose is called Usopp.

"Ah! It's you, Carrot Head and Green Pepper Head. Hey, where's Onion Head?" Usopp turned over and lay on the branch of the tree, leaning his head down to ask the two children.

"Report to the captain! Onion is on alert!" said the two children.

"Yeah! Very good! Let's go find Onion!" Usopp said, jumping down from the branch, taking Carrot and Green Pepper to look for Onion, who was on guard.

High on the coast of the island, there is a tidy grassland among the thick bushes, and a boy of about ten years old is concentrating on his lookout mission.

"What's going on, Onion!" Usopp walked over with his hands behind his back, followed by the other two children.

"Report Captain! Nothing unusual!" Onion stood at attention and saluted.

"Very good, don't forget that our purpose is to protect the village. I declare that we will disband on the spot." Usopp shouted with his hands behind his back.

"Yes! Captain!" The three boys saluted Usopp immediately, like real crew members, and then walked away playfully.

"Go on and find Miss Keya. She must be very bored now." Usopp said to himself.

A beautiful manor, with white exterior walls, equally white pillars, gardens and green plants surrounding the main building, and fountains that cause rainbows in the sun.

The entire main building is pure white, and the patterns on it are all carved. There is no painting at all. It is like a house carved from a huge ivory, a real ivory tower, both in appearance and in person. This is how it is imagined.

Two bodyguards in black stood at the door of the manor guarding the manor. Usopp sneaked to the wall made of green plants and pushed aside the leaves to reveal a small hole just big enough for someone to get through.

He skillfully drilled through the small hole and entered the manor, climbed up a tree growing by the window, and used the stones he just picked up to throw at the window facing the tree.

"Miss Keya." Usopp called softly.

The beautiful girl with unusually fair skin, who seemed to have not been exposed to the sun for too long, was wearing a white dress and opened the window on the second floor.

"Usopp! You're here! What adventure story are you going to tell us today?" Keya looked very excited, obviously she had been looking forward to Usopp's arrival.

"Okay, today I will tell you the story of my adventure when I met a giant goldfish when I was five years old!" Usopp kept talking with his hands on his hips.

When the story ended, Keya covered her mouth and laughed, "That's really interesting, Usopp." Keya's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.

"Of course, this belongs to the great Captain Usopp."

Before Usopp could finish his boastful words, a voice interrupted everything.

"Usopp, I have often heard rumors about you. You are still a big topic in the village." A man in a black suit, with meticulously combed hair, and glasses wearing an expressionless face said as he walked over.

"Haha, you also know about me?"

"I heard that you have been adventuring everywhere. It's amazing that you are still so young."

"You can also call me Captain Usopp, if you want to compliment me," Usopp said with a smile.

"Captain? Oh, I've heard about your father too," the man said

"Krabater, stop talking," Keya shouted from the window.

The man ignored Keya's words of dissuasion and continued: "You are just the son of a dirty pirate. You conspire, massacre, and plunder. The filthiness of pirates is beyond normal people's imagination. What are your intentions in approaching the eldest lady?" A tell-all secret!"

"Dirty?" Usopp gritted his teeth.

"If you just want money, how much do you want?"

"That's too much, Krabaatar! Apologize to Usopp immediately!" Keya frowned and shouted, leaning out of the window.

When Usopp saw this, he couldn't help shouting: "Kaya, be careful, it's dangerous."

Krabattle, a man who seemed to be the butler of this manor, continued: "Why should I apologize to the son of this dirty pirate? I am just telling the truth. Dirty Sea abandoned the village and valued the treasure more than his family. Thief dad, when it comes to this, I feel a little sorry for you."

Anger welled up in his heart, Usopp jumped down from the tree, clenched his fists, and shouted: "You are not allowed to speak ill of my father!"

"Ha! It looks like you want to use violence? As soon as someone exposes your true colors, you get angry and resort to violence against others. Sure enough, you have dirty blood." Krabater touched his eyes with his middle finger and looked pale. He continued with an expression.

"Damn it, who is filthy!" These words came out of Usopp's mouth, he stepped forward and grabbed Krabaatar's collar, raising his fist to strike down.

"Maybe you should use your good lying skills at this time. For example, your father is a traveling businessman, and you have nothing to do with that dirty pirate. Wouldn't it make you feel better if you don't admit it to him?"

"Shut up!" Usopp's hand was still clutching Krabaatar's collar, "I have always been proud that my dad is a pirate. He is by no means what you call a dirty pirate. I am proud of him. I am proud to be a brave sea warrior. I love lying and bragging, but I am proud to have inherited my father’s bloodline. I am the son of a pirate, and I will definitely become a brave sea warrior!”

Usopp roared these words and punched Krabaatar's glasses crooked.

After the punch, Usopp, who was panting, gradually loosened his grip on his collar, and his raised fist was also falling.

"Pirates are brave sea warriors? How ridiculous. Pirates are just a group of hyenas who will do anything for profit. It is not false at all to say that you have inherited dirty blood. You lie and brag everywhere, and resort to violence when you are angry. Because of violence, and now you are approaching the eldest lady for property, what are the reasons for you to do all this?"

"What? Close?"

"Just the fact that you are the son of a dirty pirate is enough!"

"hateful!"

Usopp's fist, which he was about to lower just now, could not help but be raised high, and he was about to bring it down again.

"That's enough! Usopp, don't use violence anymore. Krabaatar is not a bad person, he is just too excited for my sake." Keya said at the window.

Usopp's raised fist trembled, then suddenly relaxed and lowered his fist after a while.

"Okay, please get out of here," Krabaatar said, patting Usopp's hand that was holding his collar. "Don't come near this manor again."

"I know, I will never come again." Usopp said with his head lowered, and walked step by step outside the manor with his head lowered and his lonely figure lowered.

Keya looked at Usopp's leaving back and didn't know what she was thinking.

There was a creaking sound in the long corridor. Krabater pushed the dining cart down the corridor, and at the end was Miss Keya's room.

Three years ago, a ragged Krabater fainted at the door of this manor. The owner of the manor who was still alive at the time, Keya's father, took Krabater in. Krabater became the housekeeper of the manor. Now that Keya's father has passed away, only Keya and a lot of his property were left behind.

"Miss Keya, it's time to eat." Krabater pushed the dining cart into Miss Keya's room.

"No, I don't want to eat." Keya said

"How can you get better if you don't eat? Please eat quickly, Miss Keya."

"Why did you say those words?" Keya said with her face buried in the pillow.

"I will never forget what happened that day. To repay your deceased father and take good care of you, this is the only thing I want to do now. I know I shouldn't interfere with your friendship, but this Usopp is not a good person. ."

"That's enough. Usopp is not the kind of person you said. Please go out. I want to be quiet." Keya said without raising her head.

Krabattle got off the dining car, turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

Usopp was extremely depressed after leaving the manor. He sat alone under a tree on a high cliff by the beach, with his hands behind his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Captain! Captain! The shouts of the children behind me came"

Usopp sat up and turned around. There were green pepper heads, radish heads and onion heads.

"Captain, why do you look unhappy?" The children could tell something was wrong with Usopp at a glance.

"It's all that butler," Usopp muttered.

"But, forget it, it's okay." Usopp thought of something.

"Butler?" the children said

"I told you, it's nothing. Don't ask."

"No, Captain Usopp, look below."

The children's words made Usopp look towards the beach under the cliff.

"Krabatl? There's another weirdo?"

"We know this weirdo" said the child

"He seems to be able to hypnotize."

"Shh! They seem to be talking about something." Usopu pulled the children down and listened quietly to the conversation below.

"Zang Gao! Didn't I tell you not to attract attention?" Krabater said

"I know, Captain Crowe, I think I've kept a low profile enough," said the man Krabater called Zangao.

"Crow!" Usopp on the high cliff covered his mouth and almost shouted.

"Who is Crowe?" several children asked

"It is said that he is the most ferocious and cunning pirate, but he was executed by the navy three years ago. That weirdo just called Krabaatar Captain Crow?" Usopp said, looking at the two people below.

"But why do you need me to hypnotize that woman named Keya?" Zangao asked

"I have to tell you several times that I want to inherit their family's inheritance safely and legally. Only you hypnotized Keya and asked her to write down the survivors who will inherit the inheritance from me, and then created the illusion that the pirates killed her. With me Only after three years of service to them can I legally inherit their property." Crowe said

"But no one could have imagined that the all-powerful Captain Crowe three years ago would suddenly find a substitute to be executed by the navy and then change his appearance and come here to plot other people's property."

"Hmph! Do your own thing." Crowe said

"When will we start? The brothers' ship has been docked near here for a week, and they are already impatient." asked the weirdo Zangao.

"Just tonight, you hypnotized Keya and asked her to write down her surviving relatives. And my pirates' attack time is set for the early morning of tomorrow!" Crowe said, his glasses reflecting the light.
