Long Summary
Zoro, Usopp and Johnny have arrived in front of Arlong Park. In order to prevent Zoro from foolishly attacking the Fishmen, he's tied up by the two other while they are searching for the Going Merry. They found it after a little while, anchoring near a village. Usopp, who acted bravely once away from Arlong Park, becomes a coward again once he notices three Fishmen next to the boat. He and Johnny even flee into the sea, once they have been spotted, letting Zoro alone and powerless in front of the Fishmen.

When Usopp and Johnny get out of the sea, they notice that the village has been completely devastated, very likely by the Fishmen. While they are impressed by the power of these creatures they have only heard about, they find one of the Fishmen has returned to the village, suspicious of Zoro being alone. While Johnny is able to hide himself, Usopp starts running until he bumps into a kid, Chabo, and a woman, Nojiko. When the Fishman is about to capture them, Usopp decides to act bravely for once, and tries to defend the two villagers, but is knocked out by Nojiko.

When he wakes up, the three of them are in Nojiko's house, in an orange farm. Nojiko tells them that nobody fights the Fishmen because it's suicide. Chabo, a boy from Gosa Village, whose father has been killed, understands this, and returns to his mother rather than searching revenge.

Usopp understands that Nojiko's intentions are not bad, and tells her that he is looking for Nami. Nojiko then tells Usopp that Nami and her are adopted sisters, and that Nami is a member of Arlong Pirates.
