"𝕋here is absolutely no way we're getting to the Grand Line in this condition," Nami declares after Liliana and Nami finished discussing the plan to get to the Grand Line.
"Nami is right. I keep telling you that for a while but you don't listen to me. Hopefully now you can take the advice from our navigator," Liliana huffs looking towards the two males.
"I guess you're right. wWe're gonna need a whole lot more meat," Luffy agrees to the vexation of Nami, "Eating fruit every day is for the birds." Liliana can only sigh, already too tired to argue with Luffy. It's a start at least, Liliana says in her head as Nami glares at Luffy.
"We're also gonna need some booze—" Zoro is interrupted by Nami hurling an apple at his head which Luffy catches from dropping into the sea.
"Shut up you boneheads," Nami scolds as Liliana snickers at Zoro getting a scowl in response, "That's not what I mean." Dragging her hand over her face as Nami sighs in exhaustion whilst mentally praying for patience before looking at Luffy and Zoro. "The Grand Line is a dangerous place. We are gonna need more than meat and beer to survive there. Not to mention that the place is crawling with pirates who are also in search of the One Piece and they all have ships that are way better than this."
"And we don't have a crew," Luffy agrees, his mouth full of apples, getting a disapproving look from Liliana before she looks at Nami.
"And a bigger boat, equipment, you know stuff that would help us survive," Liliana adds flippantly.

Nami nods in agreement, looking around at the state of their affairs. "Exactly, there is no way we would ever make it like this."
"Yep, we will need a cook and maybe a musician to keep us entertained," Luffy says, giving Liliana a meaningful look, who promptly ignores Luffy.
"A musician?" Zoro guffaws, whilst Luffy continues to try and catch Liliana's eyes who does everything in her power to ignore.
"So stupid," Nami said, rolling her eyes in annoyance, whilst Liliana can only agree, glaring at Luffy who is still trying to get her attention. "A little to the south of here is an island with some settlements on it and it looks like we could get our hands on a ship and even some supplies we need there."
"Fresh meat at last!" Luffy cheers.
Zoro grins, leaning his head against his arms. "Lots of booze as well."
"I would also be able to get out of these clothes," Liliana smiles, looking down at her tattered shirt and shorts with a frown.
"Is that all you guys think about?" Nami shouts out angrily, "Urgh, what am I gonna do with you?"
"Don't worry Nami," Liliana gently smiles at Nami, tilting her head slightly, "While those two idiots are out there slacking, we can go and get some supplies and a ship." Nami sighs in exasperation, looking at Liliana with a tired smile, relieved to have at least one other sane person around.
That afternoon, they finally disembark from the boats on an island surrounded by rocky cliffs and forest with one single entrance into the island being a ramp carved right into the cliffs itself. It gave Liliana a sense of peace as she looked at the gentle tide that would wash up against the beach.
"It feels good to be on dry land again," Zoro exclaims, stretching out his arm as Luffy looked around frantically, asking Nami for the nearest village with a BBQ restaurant.
"Yeah," Nami responds, staring at the chart in her hands, "It looks like a small one though."
As Nami and Luffy argue amongst themselves about meat, Liliana looks around at the cliffs with narrowed eyes. Something is here, Liliana ponders staring intently at the woods, catching Zoro's attention as well. Still staring into the woods at the cliffs, Liliana gestures towards Zoro who nods discreetly, putting his hand on his swords.
"Careful," Zoro warns with narrowed eyes, catching the attention of Nami and Luffy, "We're being watched."
"By who? Where are they? Do they got meat?" Luffy calls out, frantically looking to and fro with a bit of drool running down his mouth.
"Look out!" Zoro shouts as bullets shoot out in the direction of Luffy's feet.
Quickly throwing up a shield in front of them, as Nami hides behind Liliana for cover. Preparing to throw a red blast towards the direction the bullets are coming from but is stopped by multiple pirate flags popping up around the cliffs.
Looking at the pirate flags in awe as Luffy's eyes sparkle at the sight. "That's so cool!"
"Seriously Luffy. Now is not the time," Liliana scolds Luffy, glaring at the direction the assailant should be.
"Is this supposed to be where we are impressed?" Nami says angrily.
From behind a tree, a man appears brandishing a slingshot in one hand and a rubber pellet in the other hand ready to open fire on the ferocious pirates carrying Buggy's pirate mark. Wearing a pair of dark brown overalls with a white sash over his waist with his trusty bag filled with tricks laying on the ground. Staring down his peculiarly long-shaped nose at them as his black curly hair rustled in the wind which was pulled back by a checkered bandana. "I am Usopp! Leader of a nation of pirates that reign this island! You stand before a living legend! The most revered pirate who ever lived!" Usopp announces, pointing towards himself in a boastful manner, "I am the great Captain Usopp."
