Things had been awfully quiet around the house now.. Mom had died a few years back, and Your little Brother, Usopp, had joined a Pirate Crew, leaving You in Syrup Village. You liked the quiet, but you missed your brother and his Insane rambling about Pirates like crazy. His little 'crew' of 3 kids in the village kept things alive by visiting You every now and then and doing what Usopp used to do, and You became Friends with Kaya, but it wasn't quite the same

You wished things were like they were when you were little again.. with Usopp, Mom.... Dad...

Dad had left before Mom got Sick, Usopp was about 4 and you were 8. He wanted to rejoin his pirate crew, and Mom just gave him the 'OK' to do so.. You were too young to understand why, hell, you still didn't understand why. He was a Deadbeat in your eyes, You told yourself that you hated him. It was better off for him to be away from here anyways

It was another quiet night in the house, you were resting by the fireplace with a Book. You went to flip to the next page until there was a loud knock on the door, making you jump before groaning and closing the book, getting up and shouting a quick 'hang on!'

No one came by at this hour, so this better be important--

You felt your stomach drop when you opened the door, the face of the Man you haven't seen in years standing right there
