I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

Xiao Nan said.

“Your explanation seems very reasonable. Perhaps this is the method Mr. Usopp thought of, which is why he had to go back to the village to get a bucket of oil.”

Uzumaki Naruto said.

Chapter 688 I feel like this is a bit sordid.

　"What are you thinking?"

In the video footage, Usopp speaks to Luffy.

"What's wrong? Did I misunderstand?"

"Didn't you just say you were going home to get a can of oil?"

Luffy asked, his eyes wide.

"You heard me right, I did say that we need to bring a large barrel of oil."

"Small buckets are simply not enough, but we're not cooking for you here."

"I know you've already eaten your fill today, so it'll be tomorrow during the day."

"If we can defeat those pirates here tomorrow morning, we'll only have missed breakfast."

"For lunch... I can treat you to a big meal."

Usopp explained.

"So what was your purpose in saying you wanted to fetch a barrel of oil just now at 637?"

Roronoa Zoro was getting a little impatient and asked.

"You guys are really stubborn."

"Didn't you think that if we poured this oil on this slope, it would be difficult for those pirates to climb it, and we would successfully keep them outside the slope?"

"In this way, we can defeat the pirate invasion without losing a single soldier. Isn't this a perfect solution?"

Usopp explained to everyone.

"Haha, so this is the brilliant idea you came up with. Although the method is a bit underhanded, it really works."

Luffy finally understood and immediately burst into laughter, hands on his hips.

So this is the brilliant idea that the long-nosed guy came up with.

"That's a really good idea, making the whole slope slippery."

“Those guys simply couldn’t climb up.”

"We can only stand on the coastline and worry helplessly. As long as they can't get up this slope, they can't attack the village."

"These pirates might give up and leave."

Miss Nami finally understood.

"While this method is good, I feel there's something shady about it."

Roronoa Zoro felt that this method was not a fair or just approach.

"Who cares if it's dirty or not? As long as we can successfully stop those pirates from attacking the village, we've already won."

Usopp said.

"Alright then, if you think this method is feasible, then go back and get a bucket of oil."

"I just don't know if your village has that much oil?"

Miss Nami readily agreed to Usopp's method.

Because he also felt that this method was feasible. Regardless of the nature of the method, as long as it could successfully block the enemy, it was definitely a good method.

"Yes, yes, I have this much oil in my house. Don't underestimate our island just because it's remote; it's very rich."

Usopp said smugly.

"It's really a bit surprising that you have so much oil in your house. Don't you eat it regularly?"

Miss Nami took a deep breath, then spoke with a very serious expression.

"Hahaha...you wouldn't understand."

"Since my mother passed away."

"I rarely cook in the village; I grew up eating food from many different families..."

Chapter 689 Lead the way, why all this nonsense?

　"Although these villagers treated me maliciously when I lied, they would warmly welcome me to join them in any restaurant I entered."

"So I've never cooked. This oil was saved up by my mother before she passed away, and I haven't touched it."

"Perfect timing... Now it can come in very handy."

"It's just that the barrel is a bit too big. Although I can move the oil from this barrel here, I'm afraid it will waste too much time."

"So I think it's better to have a strong guy come with me to get this oil drum."

"This will make us faster and improve our efficiency."

At this moment, Usopp in front of him had a serious expression on his face, and then he spoke in a seemingly calm manner.

"If you can't move it, you can't move it, why go through all this trouble?"

"Why don't you just say so? I'll go with you. No matter how big your oil drums are, I can carry them all over."

"And... it was all done without lifting a finger."

Roronoa Zoro looked at Usopp with disdain and said.

In truth, Usopp really wanted Roronoa Zoro to help him move the giant oil drum.

He just didn't have the nerve to say it directly, but in his eyes, Roronoa Zoro's physique was definitely much stronger than Luffy's.

I said that Park hasn't seen Luffy fight yet, so he has no idea how powerful Luffy is.

Just because Luffy is small doesn't mean he's as strong as Roronoa Zoro.

"Okay then, I know I can move this oil drum too."

"But if you can come with me to move this oil drum, it will improve our efficiency and speed things up."

"So, I'll reluctantly let you help me."

"In that case, we should not delay any longer. It's already past midnight, and dawn is just around the corner."

"We must pour all this oil onto the slope before dawn."

"Because they will come to the coastline to attack at dawn."

"We must set traps in advance in this village."

"Once we've set up the trap, we'll just quietly hide on the sidelines and watch those guys fall flat on their faces in a ridiculous way."

Usopp said to Roronoa Zoro.

"Lead the way, stop with all the nonsense."

"Knowing full well that time is tight, he's still rambling on and on."

... ... ....

"Just hurry up and go to your house, then carry the oil drum over, won't that solve the problem?"

Roronoa Zoro urged.

“Alright then, Mr. Roronoa Zoro, please come to my house. It’s not far from here.”

"My house is on the small hill ahead. Once you get past this big bend, you'll see it."

Usopp led the way, speaking to Roronoa Soro behind him.

"You two wait here patiently for a moment, we'll be right back."

Roronoa Zoro didn't forget to give Luffy a little advice.

"Understood, understood. You two go and come back quickly."

"With me here guarding this great slope, even if a thousand troops come, I will absolutely not let a single one of them get through..." the soldier said.

Chapter 690 A very dilapidated little house

　“I won’t let even a fly fly over here. I will definitely hold this big slope.”

At this moment, Luffy took a deep breath, and then, with a look of unwavering conviction, he spoke up to make his promise.

"Go quickly, go quickly, don't dawdle here. We'll take good care of ourselves, you don't need to worry about us."

"As long as you can retrieve that large oil drum quickly, our '653' plan will be complete."

After hearing what the other person had just said, Miss Nami shrugged her shoulders and urged them to speak as well.

And so Usopp left with Roronoa Zoro.

"Does the method Usopp just mentioned really work?"

Luffy looked at Miss Nami and asked.

"It should work. If the slope is very slippery, those pirates shouldn't be able to climb it."

"If this really is the only passageway..."

“Those pirates will never be able to successfully attack this village. Even if some of them manage to climb up, as long as we are here to protect it.”

"They had no way to successfully attack the village."

"Don't you have a little faith in your own abilities?"

Miss Nami countered with a question.

"Of course I believe in my abilities, even if I don't bring the oil to make this cash."

"I can hold off those pirates by myself. As long as I, Luffy, am here, they won't be able to get through this door."

Luffy immediately became confident without hesitation and said.

"That works, right? Now the two of them can go and get the bucket of oil and spread it on this slope. As long as we don't step on it, we won't slip down."
