Expose the Plot! Pirate Butler, Captain Kuro!

3rd's POV

"Kaya-san will be killed?! The village will be attacked?! Is this for real, Onee-chan/RO?! Please tell us your dreaming!" the kids and Luffy shouted in surprise as Aphrodite was mumbling during her sleep

"Mmm..No that's what..t-they said.." Aphrodite mumbled still asleep not affected by the loud noises.

"Yep. She's definitely not dreaming. No doubt." Luffy informed making the kids panic

"By the way how did you end up snoozing off here?" Zoro asked holding her at his back in a piggy-back ride

"Wha..I was on the cliff..the whole time..now how did I get-" Aphrodite mumbled before falling again into a deeper slumber not waking up or talking this time

"As we thought, Klahadore is an evil person!" Carrot said to Pepper ignoring the other three's pointless conversation.

"No wonder he was so creepy." Pepper commented

"This must be the reason why Captain ran like crazy towards the village!" Onion concluded appearing out of nowhere

"Aren't you guys fortunate to have heard all this beforehand? Now we can escape before they attack. They got careless." Nami said as matter of factly

"Yeah, that's right! We should make a run for it too!" Carrot shouted in realization

"Yeah, we should just take the important stuff." Pepper noted

"Anyways, we should hurry!" they all pumped their fist into the air before hurriedly running away and then turning a corner to who knows where

"Oh no!" Luffy shouted as if realizing something

"What?" Zoro asked flatly

"If we don't hurry and get ourselves some food, the shop owners will be gone, leaving us with no meat!" Lufy shouted in worry

"Zoro stared at him dumbfounded before using the tip of his scabbard to push Luffy into Aphrodite's crater "This is not the time to think about that.

Meanwhile at the Mansion Usopp was recalling the memory of when he told Kaya the story about the giant goldfish. He stood there on her windowsill shocked, breathless, but most of all broken.

Kaya stepped forward and placed her hand on the windowsill her eyes laced with confusion "I..I..I really like.." the pause made Usopp anticipate her next sentence "The stories that you made up, I loved them all." she admitted "Why did you have to say such a thing?" after she said that Kaya started feeling a little light headed

"That's not it. I didn't say it to get revenge on Klahadore." Usopp said

Now Kaya was hugging her curtain keeping balance "Why..would you.."

"Kaya, I.." Usopp said before there was a long pause between them.

Suddenly the door opened to reveal Merry coming in "Ojousama, is something the matter?" he asked spotting Usopp with suspicion and holding a pistol in hand making Usopp gasp in fear.

Kaya looked scared at Usopp she was about to retreat into her room until Usopp had grabbed her arm forcibly "Let's get out of here, Kaya!" he shouted grabbing her by the waist knocking out a flower pot in the process making it drop and break upon impact with the floor.

"Please stop, Usopp-san." Kaya begged weakly trying to get out of his grip.

Merry ran in front of them and held a pistol to threaten him "Let go of Ojousama!"

Usopp then jumped back with Kaya in his hold which was dangerous "In any case, just trust me! Leave this village immediately! Before that caretaker returns!" he begged before skillfully grabbing onto the tree branch and jumped down with Kaya in bridal-style. Once they landed Kaya immediately felt sick.
