Oh, yeah, I can see Oda skipping this completely, but I give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
What is with all these people saying Usopp might not make it to elbaf? Did I miss something in the Spoilers, are we off course.
Anyway, what do you make off this current Nami Situation? Waking up in a room. Do you reckon she got kidnapped?
Btw, where can I find that script? That sounds like a fun read.
Sorry for too many questions at once, I got carried away a little.
Aye, I really hope Oda doesn't skip it, but at the same time, I'm worried current Oda won't even give us a satisfying reunion of Brook and Laboon, maybe a rushed/mostly offscreen one like what Kinemon and Tsuru, Kiku and Izo and Momo and Hiyori got (150 chapters, 4 year long arc sigh and he couldnt even give us awakend Yonkos nor Zoro at Ryuumas grave too! AAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!) but I pray, he still gives enough of a shit about Usopp and does this at least. He's a mostly Deadbead Dad IRL to his own daughters ofc, so he can really write from personal experience too. Probably with his own dad too ofc.
I really don't like this situation, I mean great, its giving us Elbaf FINALLY, setting it up but another DAMSEL IN DISTRESS/KIDNAP storyline?! Oda PLEASE stop forcing your fetish on us! Or relying on the same formulas/cliches! But given Loki tried to marry Lola and got rejected, I guess it was inevitable given hot and beautiful Nami is and thus lusted after and her history with Lola going WAY back in the story and how relevant it was at WCI arc ofc.
She was most likely kidnapped but if she wsa gonna be kidnapped, why not by Kidd himself for the pun/irony at least? LMAO! Then I can feed my own shipping fantasies of them even more, ZEHAHAHA! Red and Orange, gingers in harmony....(Blood Orange Ship)
Sure! I forgot I lost the original script actually, the channel I had it in on Discord was deleted by me before (like an idiot as I constantly am) so imma do a new one for you now thats as faithful to the original as possible and just as funny at least! I still remember how it went too:
Title: Usopp vs. Yasopp – The Wrath of Chil D. Support
Scene opens on Lodestar Island, a wild west-themed island. The Red-Haired Pirates, including Shanks, Yasopp, Lucky Roux, and Benn Beckman, are lounging inside a saloon, enjoying their drinks and polishing their guns, acting like they’ve got not a care in the world.
Usopp (dramatically kicks open the saloon doors, bursting in like an avenging cowboy, followed by the rest of the Straw Hat crew, all looking deadly serious):
"YASOPP!!"
The Red-Haired Pirates freeze. Yasopp, mid-poker game, nearly drops his cards, trying to avoid eye contact. Shanks, Lucky Roux, and Benn Beckman exchange awkward glances.
Shanks (laughing nervously):
"Uh, hey, Usopp! Fancy seeing you here, kid!"
Lucky Roux (munching on a drumstick, confused):
"Did someone say ‘Yasopp’? Thought the kid was yellin’ for a possum."
Usopp (ignoring them, pointing dramatically at Yasopp):
"Deadbeat Dad Pirates! You think you can just sail the seas, party, and ignore your responsibilities? Think again! The Wrath of Chil D. Support is here, and I’m collecting dues!"
The Red-Haired Pirates all blink in confusion. Yasopp looks like he’s about to make a run for it.
Benn Beckman (coolly lighting a cigarette):
"Yasopp, you’ve got something to answer for, it seems."
Usopp (holding up a massive bounty poster with Yasopp’s face on it, marked with ‘Unpaid Child Support: 18 Years’):
"You see this?! Eighteen years of back pay! You left my mom heartbroken and broke while you were out here drinking grog and shooting pistols with these clowns!"
Sanji (steps forward, puffing on a cigarette, looking disgusted at Yasopp):
"I always knew you were a scumbag, but leaving your kid and his beautiful mother like that? That’s lower than a Sea King’s belly!"
Nami (arms crossed, glaring):
"And to think you call yourself a pirate! You didn’t even send money? What kind of pirate doesn’t take care of his treasure? You abandoned your family for THIS?"
Jinbei (calmly adjusting his coat):
"It’s one thing to follow your dreams, Yasopp. But to neglect the ones you love for it? Unforgivable."
Robin (smiling, but it’s the type of smile that makes you worry):
"I’ve read about pirates like you. But the stories don’t usually end well for the fathers who skip town."
Franky (flexing his massive arms, cracking his knuckles):
"YEAH! You’re not SUPER at all, Yasopp! Not paying child support?! You’re lucky Usopp’s not demanding interest!"
Yasopp (sweating, backing up towards the bar):
"Guys, come on, I was gonna come back! I just got a little... distracted!"
Luffy (chewing on some meat, nodding seriously):
"Yeah, you got distracted by all the fun without taking care of Usopp and Aunt Banchina. That’s not right, Yasopp!"
Shanks (holding his sides, trying not to burst out laughing):
"Oh man, Yasopp, you really screwed up this time. Usopp’s bringing the full crew for this collection!"
Yasopp (looking at Shanks desperately):
"Captain, help me out here!"
Shanks (laughing, shaking his head):
"Nah, Yasopp, this one’s on you. It’s between you and Chil D. Support now!"
Usopp, now fully in cowboy mode, pulls out a ridiculously oversized revolver labeled "CHILD SUPPORT COLLECTION AGENCY." He twirls it with deadly accuracy.
Usopp (pointing the revolver at Yasopp):
"It’s payback time! Prepare to face the Wrath of Chil D. Support!"
The tension is thick as Yasopp fumbles, pulling out a tiny, rusty pistol from his belt. It jams instantly, making a sad "click" sound.
Benn Beckman (takes a slow drag from his cigarette, watching the chaos unfold):
"I warned you, Yasopp. You can’t run from the law forever."
Nami (whipping out a list of child support calculations from a bag):
"You owe interest, emotional damages, and compensation for every year you missed a birthday. I hope you’re ready to pay up!"
Sanji (kicking up a cloud of dust, ready for a fight):
"Let’s make this quick. I’ve got more important things to do than deal with a scoundrel like you."
Franky (pulling out a massive wrench, grinning wildly):
"Let’s see if we can fix you, deadbeat! Maybe a little tightening of your conscience!"
Yasopp is cornered, sweat pouring down his face. He looks over at Lucky Roux and Hongo for help, but they just shrug, munching on snacks.
Yasopp (desperate):
"Okay, okay! I’ll pay, just—put the slingshot down, Usopp!"
Usopp pulls out a massive cannonball labeled "BACK PAY" from his slingshot, aiming it directly at Yasopp.
Usopp:
"Too late, old man! It’s time to settle this debt!"
The cannonball glows with the power of 18 years of fatherly neglect. Yasopp panics, trying to hide behind Shanks.
Shanks (laughing his head off):
"Don’t look at me, Yasopp! You dug this grave, now lie in it!"
Luffy (chewing loudly):
"Yeah, you kinda had this coming. I mean, not even a birthday card? That’s just bad."
Just as Usopp is about to launch the cannonball, Nami steps in with a calculator, stopping him.
Nami:
"Wait, Usopp. Let’s calculate the exact amount he owes, with interest."
Yasopp groans in despair as Nami furiously punches numbers into her calculator.
Nami:
"Okay, here we go—18 years of unpaid child support, plus interest, plus emotional damages... Yasopp, you owe 127,942,000 Beli!"
Yasopp (gasping):
"WHAT?! I don’t even have that kind of money!"
Usopp (smirking):
"Then you better start swabbing decks or selling those sniper skills, Dad, because if you don’t pay up... BOOM!"
He twangs the slingshot menacingly. Yasopp, looking defeated, slumps against the bar.
Jinbei:
"It’s a fair price to pay for abandoning your responsibilities."
Benn Beckman (laughing quietly):
"Yasopp, maybe you should’ve stayed home. Looks like being a 'free spirit' comes with a cost."
Shanks (grinning):
"You know, Yasopp, you could always join Buggy's crew. I hear he’s looking for a new sniper."
The entire saloon bursts into laughter. Yasopp, utterly humiliated, slinks off, while Usopp stands tall, victorious.
Usopp (climbing up onto the bar, striking a dramatic pose):
"Let this be a warning to all pirates: If you run from your responsibilities, Chil D. Support will track you down, and NO ONE escapes their debts!"
Cue the dramatic sunset as the Straw Hats ride off into the distance, leaving Yasopp behind, still frantically counting his spare change.
Franky (pumping his fist in the air):
"SUPER justice, Usopp! You got him good!"
Sanji (smirking, lighting a cigarette):
"Maybe now he’ll think twice before abandoning his kid."
Robin (smiling serenely):
"You know, there’s something poetic about pirates paying their dues."
Luffy (grinning, completely oblivious):
"Yeah! Usopp, you’re like a bounty hunter now!"
Usopp turns back to glance at the defeated Yasopp, who’s still muttering about back pay, and nods with satisfaction.
Usopp:
"And that’s how you handle Deadbeat Dad Pirates!"
The Straw Hats ride off into the sunset, leaving the Red-Haired Pirates to pick up the pieces.
Shanks (watching them go, shaking his head with a grin):
"Man, Yasopp, you really should’ve paid that child support."
End scene.
Nah you're completely fine man, I don't mind at all! This is not too many questions at all but thank you for your considerate humility regardless ofc!
I've got a close friend who sometimes when I sent him fanart or memes, he will give me the most exisential, confused interrogation about them, asking me 20 questions about them like he's been hanging out with detectives or Mulder and Scully or w/e too long! Drives me mad lmao.
Yeah, I am already feeling like a fool trying to interpret his Lego hint as a road poneglyph.
Oh, and no worries about responding, I know that I perhaps asked one too many questions at once.
Lmao, literally Lego in the chapter.
Ah no worries man, I don't think the Lego stuff is actually confirmed is it? It's not in the summaries section anymore and the thread is locked. Is that guy just a fraud then?
It might have been legit ofc, maybe she is in a room full of lego, Lego is Scandinavian and Elbaf should be too ofc, Nami is as well! It would be very Oda to incorporate it into One Piece, Lego/Minecraft for Elbaf? Lmao. We got that AWFUL looking Minecraft movie coming out too! Lego Batman 2 when though? or a Lego Batman 4 game?
Given the likes of Franky building staircases instantly, even in the sky and Bullet having a fruit similar to Kidd but attaching anything together, a Lego fruit or some kind of OP equivalent of Lego wouldnt surprise me at all too. It wont be called Lego ofc unless Lego is doing a secret cross promotion with One Piece? Lololol.
A bunch of us thought it was a road ponegylph hint too so you're not alone ofc!
God we really need that fool summary but its still a long wait away!
@Pringles sorry it was my suggestion to get that Lego spoiler added there too but its removed now too. Thanks for adding it there though!
