The departure of the Straw Hats from Water 7 is hastened when Vice Admiral Garp,under watch from Aokiji,comes to attack them.Usopp has to do some soul-searching to realize what he really needs to do to rejoin the crew.With his Marines having located the Straw Hat Pirates, Vice Admiral Garp sets sail in his ship for Scrap Island. He and his crew are annoyed with the order from Fleet Admiral Sengoku to exterminate the Straw Hats there at Water 7, but saw little choice in the matter with Admiral Aokiji on-board his ship. With the Franky Family calling their farewells to Franky, the Straw Hats set sail on their new ship. But some of the crew are concerned. A few days,where Sanji told Luffy about Usopp's plan to ask to rejoin the crew first Luffy is eager to take Usopp back,but Zoro speaks up with an objection says it is not right for Usopp to return without at least an apology after the way he quit originally, especially with the duel he fought with Luffy over the Going Merry. Zoro says it is not right for Usopp to be accepted back so easily after the duel. Luffy understands Zoro's point, and agrees.

PRESENT:Luffy is convinced(at least outwardly)that Usopp is not returning,but is certain they will run into each other again in the future.Meanwhile,Usopp is running through eager to return to the crew and certain they will welcome him back with open arms On the ship,Nami asks Luffy to wait just a little while longer,but a cannonball signals their time is up.Usopp makes it to the shore above Scrap Island and runs through the gathered crowd to see what is going on.Usopp panics,not knowing why they'd leave without him after his help at Enies Lobby.They could not possibly have forgotten that he is really Sogeking right? Seeing the attack,he runs after the ship along the shore,trying to get their attention as they fend off Garp's cannonballs attack.Chopper tries to tell them that Usopp has arrived,but they are too busy defending the ship Usopp calls out to his shipmates,trying to get their attention.
