Chapter 13: Winning and Losing

"It seems we can't stop that damn Clow!"
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, indicating that night was coming. Usopp, who had been running all day, had already had a bruised face: "No matter how I explain to the villagers, they would not believe me. Even Keya thought I was slandering the housekeeper... No wonder he didn't care that we heard the plan!"
Ever since learning about Clow's conspiracy, Usopp has been trying to remind his fellow villagers.
But all he got was verb and chasing.
"But then again, this is really incredible!" Nami had already heard Roche talk about the causes and consequences, and couldn't help but pinch her chin and sighed: "It turns out that our captain did not recognize the wrong person. That hypocritical butler is really a pirate. He even accused Usopp of being the pirate's son!"
“It’s useless to say these now…”
Usopp lowered his head in great depressed state and said, "According to Captain Clow's plan, the Black Cat Pirates will attack the village tomorrow. You might as well leave quickly. There is no need to stay here at risk of your life."
Roach patted his shoulder: "What are you going to do?"
"I want to face them head-on! Although everyone refuses to believe me, it doesn't matter. As long as I can block the attack of the Pirates, I can turn the whole thing into a real lie! This is the last self-esteem of me, a liar! I want to defend this village no matter what!"
"What awesome speech..."
Guina held the scabbard with her right hand and raised her eyebrows with interest: "But your legs seem to be shaking!"
"This is it's his own decision!"
Usopp's face was burned red and he defended himself with a stubborn mouth: "And shaking legs can't prove that I'm afraid, shaking legs can only prove that I'm shaking legs! What's more, it's normal for me to be afraid, the other party is a real pirate!"
"We didn't mean to laugh at you."
Roqi said with a friendly expression: "We all respect your courage very much, so we will help you win this battle. The Joker Pirates are not our opponents, so what's scary about the Black Cat Pirates?"
"You are willing to help me fight the famous Captain Clowe?!"
"Who made us all good people!"
Nami smiled and made a gesture of money: "But our help still costs a fee, but it will definitely give you a discount. These two people will help you solve Captain Crow and his subordinates, and you only need to give me this number..."
"Yes, but I don't have money at all..."
"Don't be anxious about the rewards. After all, as long as Miss Keya knows the truth, she will definitely not let us work hard in vain." Roqi smiled and looked at the greedy Nami: "The most urgent thing is to find a way to fight back the Black Cat Pirates."
"I have a plan."
Usopp actively made a suggestion: "If the pirates want to attack the village, they must pass through the slope we are currently on. As long as we hold on to it, we can win. We can use oil and iron nails to hold them up, and then set up some traps..."
Roach showed a playful smile: "Are you sure there is no other way to enter the village?"
"There is a coast to the north, there is also a large slope there, and the terrain is similar to that here..." After Roach's reminder, Usopp immediately realized that he had made a mistake: "They talked here during the day, so I thought I would log in from here tomorrow... It seems that I was too presumptuous!"
"Meaning there are two places to defend now?"
Nami frowned with a headache: "But there are only four of us in total! And Usopp and I can only be regarded as atmosphere groups..."
"I am a brave sea fighter!" Usopp protested.
"Let's divide into two groups to act, one guards the south, one guards the north, send a signal when attacked, and the other immediately go to support." Rochi quickly gave his opinion, and his plan was immediately recognized by the other three.
"I want to be in the same group with Captain Roche!" Nami said first.
When Roach saved her life from Bucky, she witnessed the confrontation between the devil fruit abilities of both sides, and had a vague understanding of Roach's strength, so she felt safer when she was with him.
"Then let's decide!"
Roqi quickly cut the mess and said, "It's still a while before dawn, but it's time for us to prepare. Let's set up the trap separately so that any accidents will happen when things come to an end."
The other three accepted his arrangement.
"Wait a minute! I have another new idea!"
While the four people were preparing to take action, Roqi suddenly had an inspiration: "The core of the other party's plan is not only the pirate attack on the village, but the most important thing is to let Keya leave a suicide note, otherwise we should make a fuss on this point, right?"
"Since Clow wants to play a good person, then let's play a bad person!"
Roche smiled: "When Usopp went to warn the villagers, I found out something. Clow made a decision to give everyone in the mansion a vacation. His purpose must be to go smoothly for tomorrow's plan, but this will give us an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"We can absolutely kidnap Keya!"
Roqi said firmly: "Keya is the most important chess piece in this duel. Whoever controls her will take the initiative!"
"We don't have to do this, right?"
Usopp quickly dissuaded: "Keya's body is very weak. If she is frightened again, I'm afraid her spirit will not be able to bear it! And as long as we can block the attack of the Pirates, why should we still drag Keya in?"
"Because she has been caught in!"
Roche was very persistent in his opinion: "Keya is like an ant in the palm of Clow. If we really block the attack of the pirates, it is difficult to ensure that Clow will not be in a hurry. Whether it is to use Keya to threaten us or directly kill her to vent her anger, Keya's situation will become more dangerous at that time!"
Usopp couldn't help but feel silent.
He had to admit that Roach was right and that his vision was longer than he did.
"Let's start to act now!"
Seeing that Usopp had already made a pity, Roach made a simple decision: "The plan changed slightly, Usopp and Keya are more familiar with each other, so you go with me to 'kidna' Keya, Guina and Nami go to set up the trap together, and be sure to complete all the preparations before dawn!"
The other three naturally had no objection to his arrangement.
But while they were acting as planned, a pirate ship was moving forward in the darkness and sailed quietly to the coast north of Silob Village.
"Don't you start attacking the village tomorrow morning?"
Sam, among the Catman Brothers, walked to the bow of the boat while yawning: "Why are you in a hurry to rush over to the dock now?"
“Because the plan has been advanced.”
Zangao looked up at the crescent moon: "Although Captain Crow's plan cannot shake, my conversation with him has been leaked, so in order to prevent the emergence of trouble, he specially asked us to take action in advance."
Chapter completed!
