Dazai Osamu lowered his eyes. Sure enough, the opportunity for Usopp's mentality to change was that time. After the transformation of the Merry with a pair of wings in order to go to the Sky Island, it became tattered again after some ups and downs, but it was repaired again in one night and was as good as the original one.

Although Usopp had been particularly caring towards the Merry before, he became even more nervous after that, like an eagle protecting its chick.

When Usopp saw a strange figure repairing the Merry in the middle of the night, he thought it was an illusion, or he was seeing things, and that the few people on their ship had a change of heart and repaired the Merry overnight. But it was obvious that he was the one who took care of all the repairs to the damage to the Merry, and he dared to boast about his familiarity with the Merry. No other Straw Hat player could compare to him, not even Dazai!

But after checking the results the next morning, Usopp looked at the brand new Merry and the familiar marks of repair on the wounds on the ship. This repair technique was no less than his own, it was like he was reincarnated as a second him, and none of them could do it.

Such a magical thing happened to Merry, plus the figure that Usopp saw, everything goes to the truth. After eliminating all the answers, the most outrageous answer is often the truth. Merry is alive!

"Dazai, don't give me any riddles. The fact that the Merry was not saved and Merry was not dead are contradictory. Although I am indeed extremely smart, I am just a little bit worse than you." Usopp pinched his little finger to signal Dazai. Seeing Dazai looking at him with a smile, he shrank back a little, but still stiffened his neck and continued, "Okay, it is a little worse, so just tell me the answer directly."

Unable to continue the story, Usopp revealed his true colors.

Why does Dazai have this bad habit of making others guess and telling him riddles? Can't he just tell him directly? Usopp, who didn't want to admit that he was indeed a little dumber than Dazai, thought to himself.

"If I tell you the answer directly without letting you use your brain, how can I appear to be smarter than you?" Dazai Osamu smiled, seeing through Usopp's little thoughts, shrugged his shoulders, and told him the truth.

"I see! So you did it on purpose!" Usopp suddenly realized, pointed at Dazai Osamu and shouted in disbelief, "How can you be so kind to my dead brain nerves?" However, it seems that there is some truth in it, I got it, I got it!

Although he looked disdainful, Usopp still honestly learned Dazai Osamu's pretending skills, laying a good solid foundation for his future high-level character.

After some jokes, Dazai stopped teasing Usopp, but there were some things he couldn't say directly, after all, they were all under the surveillance of others. He asked Usopp based on his own experience:

"In many legends, there are heaven and hell in the afterlife, but why can only souls enter? It has never been mentioned that the body can enter after death. The body is just a prison. Only when the body dies can the soul be freed. But whether the soul exists is just an assumption. Maybe I will know this after I die."

"But when I think about it, if there really is a heaven and hell, I feel sick. When you die, you will be thrown into eternal darkness. Why should we gather the souls of the dead and do something useless?"

Whether people are really made up of body and soul, whether there really are heaven and hell, and what their scenery is like, it doesn’t matter to Dazai Osamu. He just wants a permanent sleeping place. If these really exist, his desire for death may be greatly reduced.

Usopp was somewhat used to Dazai Osamu's thoughts about death that popped up from time to time. After all, he had always been on the road of suicide, or on the road of preparing to commit suicide. He was definitely a leader in the suicide world. Usopp, who had experienced a lot, was somewhat immune to his black mud pollution.

But at this moment, it was no coincidence that Dazai suddenly brought up this topic. He was a man with a strong sense of purpose and would not do useless work.

He lowered his head and thought, the Merry and Merry, from a macroscopic perspective, are the same object, but from a microscopic perspective, there are still some differences, soul and body?

"Dazai, Merry is not dead means--" Usopp suddenly raised his head and looked at Dazai Osamu excitedly. Merry's body was dead, but his soul was alive!

"Boom——" a loud bang exploded in the air, and the echo spread thousands of miles away.

Dazai Osamu looked up at the calm sky. Although it was night, there were no clouds in the sky and the stars and the moon could be seen clearly. It was an ordinary day, but a thunder sounded out of nowhere. He knew that it was a warning from the world consciousness.

Usopp's unspoken thoughts were also abruptly interrupted by the sudden thunder.

The residents of the Seven Water City all looked up at the sky and discussed this strange scene of thunder without any clouds.

"Why is there a thunder suddenly?"

"Is a storm coming?"

"It's better to pack up and go back quickly."

"..."

People in the city were in a panic, and pedestrians who were still lingering on the streets quickly dispersed.

"You really scared me!" Nami put down her hands that were covering her ears and complained to the sky. She was already very nervous, and the thunder almost made her heart stop.

Nami took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, put on a beautiful smile, and walked naturally to the city hall, where the uncle worked.

"Hello, I have something to talk to your mayor about~"
