[edit] Summary
Usopp, Nami, Zoro and Luffy all agree to protect the village against Captain Kuro and the Blackcat Pirates. Usopp is scared and his knees shake despite claiming he is not. Usopp begins to make a plan, he asks Zoro, Luffy and Nami what they can do and they reply Slicing, Stretching and stealing respectivly, Usopp adds his skill is "hide".
Inside the mansion Kurahadol and Kaya's other servent discuss Usopp's actions of the day while Kaya sleeps asound in her bed. Kurahadol finds the glasses that were suppose to be a present for him in the morning on their 3rd anniversary, they were specially made for him so he didn't have to keep pushing his back up. As the other servent continues to talk, Kurahadol suddens begins to talk strangely. He looks to the cresent moon and states it makes him wild. Before his eyes, Kurahadol smashes the glasses and looks devilishly at the other servent stating his present will be the mansion. Kurahadol states that he no longer has to pretend as there is only a few hours left. He pulls out his cat claws from a bag he is carrying and turns them on the servent.
On board the ship of the Black Cat Pirates, Jango is awaken from his sleep to be told in a few hours they will have to go to work on the plan. Jango leaves his quarters walking backwards out of his cabin. Back at the coastline, Usopp and the others have now laid oil down the slope towards the village.
As morning breaks everyone readys for action. Both on the coast and the pirate ship. At the mansion, Kurahadol enters the room where Kaya is sleeping. Jango and the crew arrive at the coastline leding to the village. At where Usopp and the others are there are no pirates, suddenly Usopp remembers there is more then one port along the coast line and they are at the wrong one. As panic breaks out, Usopp states the layout is the same and the coast is only three minutes away from this one. Nami realises their boats are parked at that one. As Luffy rushes off, Nami tries to follow but her foot slides as she steps on the oil, as she slides she grabs hold of Zoro and uses him to get off the oil. Leaving him behind she rushes off to save her treasure. Zoro swears he will kill her, while everyone else rushes to the correct coast.
Usopp arrives there quickly and shoots some of the pirates down. Zoro is still trapped on the slope and Luffy is back at the village after going the wrong way.
