AN; Well, writing my story I suddenly got interested in how Yasopp actually left Usopp and Banchina, what was their little story together, when was the last time he saw Usopp? And well.. this is just my take on it, hope you'll enjoy and don't get to sad.

All-ready now, even though he was very young, Yasopp had all-ready experienced horrors big enough to make most people wet themselves.

He had fought sea monsters, ridden on storms able to destroy islands and fought enemies much stronger than himself, yet always managed to come out on the other side all-right.

Yet, Yasopp had never been more terriefied in his entire life, than when he sat there on the bench, clutching his trousers leg, as a womans scream sounded from the next room.

Yasopp squinted his eyes. "God Banchina." He hissed. "What's happening?" he asked running a hand through his hair for the time number thousand doing the last couple of hours. That was when banchinas cries stopped, and a new smaller cry started.

Yasopp looked up, and wide-eyed at the door, as a nurse stepped out and looked at him.

"What?" Yasopp asked. "how? Is…" he tried to ask as there was complete silence in the next room, to much silence.

The nurse smiled. "It's all-right." She told. " Child and mother are both healthy, you can come in now." She invited stepping aside.

Yasopp swallowed as he stood up, and carefully stepped inside, shaking like a nervous leaf. And then he saw them, Banchina sitting in the bed, a sun-ray shinning in on her face, and in her arms she was holding a little bundle.. a very little bundle. Then Banchina looked up and met Yasopps eyes as she smiled. "Hallo love." Banchina whispered. "Come and meet your son."

Yasopp's eyes widened. "My.. my son?" he asked.

Banchina smiled as she gave on simple nod. "Hai." She told. "Your son."

Yasopp swallowed as he carefully stepped closer and at last sat himself by the corner of the bed, then at last Banchina pulled away the sheet so a tiny little head appeared.

The little baby had a darker than usual skin tone, just like Yasopp, there were small tuffs of black hair on the babies scalp. "He's.." Yasopp swallowed. "He's amazing." He told.

"Afraid he got my nose though." Banchina pointed out, gesturing at the all-ready now long nose, long for a baby at least.

"Of cause he does!" Yasopp exclaimed. "Like you he got the most perfect nose in the world!" he stated.

Banchina smiled. "Here." She reached the baby over the Yasopp and suddenly he held the tiny creature in his arms.

"WARGH!" Yasopp exclaimed deeply surprised. "No! what do I do!?" he asked bewildered, frightened of the tiny creature he was now holding.

"just hold him, you're doing fine." Banchina assured. "Hold still."

And at Yasopp did. "He.. he's so tiny." Yasopp pointed out.

"He'll grow." Banchina assured. "And become a strong man just like his father one day, I can tell." She smiled.

Then the baby opened his eyes, and dark eyes met another pair of dark eyes as Yasopp starred into the eyes of his son, it was almost like being hypnotised.

Then the baby opened his mouth.. And immediately started to cry as he hit all around himself, even slapping Yasopp's hand away.

"Ban-Banchina!" Yasopp stammered. "He's crying!" he exclaimed. "What?" he asked hopelessly.

Banchina laughed. "Relax, he's just hungry." She told taking the baby back. "He's a decisive little pirate."

"And strong for such a little tyke." Yasopp commented waving his hand, where he could swear the baby had hurt him a little.. even if the babies fist were only the seize of a larger walnut.

"Of cause he is." Banchina stated as she kissed the babies forehead. "So Yasopp, what should we call him?" he asked.

"He should have a strong name of cause!" Yasopp exclaimed. "Look at him! He's a little warrior all-ready! The great warrior Alcatra? Resando the great? I know, how about.."

"Usopp." Banchina interrupted him. "How about Usopp?" she asked.

Yasopp blinked. "Usopp?" he asked. "Lie? Why lie?" he asked.

"For one thing it's very similar to Yasopp." Banchina pointed out clutching the little one.

"But it's not that impressive or manly." Yasopp pointed out.

"I know." Banchina smiled. "But the thing is, he wont need a big impressive name to present himself with, he'll be plenty impressive on his own. It's much more impressive when people have small names that eventually becomes big because of their actions, don't you think?" Banchina asked looking at Yasopp.

Yasopp looked at Banchina, then his eyes turned soft as he ended up smiling. "Right." He told. "You're right, hallo Usopp." He whispered to the little baby. "I'm your dad, and there's just three things you need to know. One, I am the warrior out of the two of us, got that? you wont ever surpass me, two, I don't mind, I'm very proud of you any-way. And three, I love you." He told the baby as he kissed the boy, also on the forehead.

Yasopp didn't want to admit it, he absolutely hated to admit it! He hated himself for it, every single day.

That he would spend most of his days, not with his wife and child, not caring for them, but taking long walks by the shore, really long walks.

Yasopp loved his wife and child, he loved them with all of his heart, and he knew that he did! So why did his chest feel so heavy? Why did he spend his evenings at the inn? Why didn't he laugh as he had done as they begun? Why did he feel so tired and hopeless even though he had every-thing? It didn't make any sense at all! Loads of men would praise the heaven to be in his situation. Settled with a loving wife and child. So why wasn't he? Why?

Beforehand Yasopp had been the kind of man to always have a big broad smile on his face, a twinkle in his eyes and a big thundering deep laugh people could hear ringing over the landscape on a dayly basis.

Now not so much, only a few things could make him smile just a little bit, his wife greeting him with a smile, a swim by the beach. And his son, Usopp.

Usopp had quickly proven himself to be a resistant little tyke, always filled with energy, all-ready now getting himself into constant trouble where ever he went. And that was in spite of the fact that he had barely begun to walk!

He would pull all sorts of things apart to see how they worked inside, climb the kitchen counter, use sticks he found on the ground to try and get down the cookie jar from the tall shelf. The lad was very creative with his resources!

It was a wonder that Usopp was not bigger when considering the way he ate all food within his reach, but he was a skinny little tyke, both Yasopp and Banchina agreed that had to be because of all of Usopp energy, how you just never knew where he were or what he would be up to next. One moment he would be poking at a cat with a stick, acting all high and mighty, then the cat would hiss and Usopp would drop the stick as he would run and scream for his life hiding behind what-ever nearest parent.

There was never a moments peace with that little tyke around, only when he fell over his own legs and instantly falling a sleep in the middle of what-ever mess he had created, he was just destined for constant trouble!

Right that moment Yasopp sat with one of his tiny yet exhausted smile on his lips as he observed Usopp playing with a bunch of rubber bands he had found in a drawer, doing target practise at the crayons he had used a moment before to draw with.

"Come on Usopp." Yasopp whispered as the little child took aim. "You can do it, you can take it down." He encouraged.

And then Usopp fired the rubber band, but as a result felt right backwards on the head due to the drawback force. Rubbing his little head Usopp looked up with a tear in his eyes, ready to cry. That was when he caught eye of Yasopp.

"You did it." Yasopp smiled at him. "A true marksman, good job boy." He stated giving the child whom could hardly understand him a thumbs off.

It was enough for Usopp though as he immediately tried to wipe away his tears, in a clear attempt to look as tough as possible, as always in front of any adult as he laughed show-casing a missing baby tooth he had lost on one of his tree climbing adventures and yelled. "DADA!" one of the only two words he could say at that point as he reached up towards Yasopp repeating the word. "Dada!" he grinned.

"You bet." Yasopp replied as he picked Usopp up so Usopp could make a firm grab around his neck. "Easy." Yasopp instructed. "A strong little man like you, you could end up choking some-one." He told.

Usopp though didn't seem to hear it but just happily clinged to his dead with closed eyes as he repeated his one word. "Dada."

Yasopp smiled lightly as he patted his sons black curls, but then he did his mistake, looked out of the window, where he could see the ocean in the far off distance, and his eyes and smile automatically faltered to a more solemn state.

Usopp seemed to notice the different at ones as he confused let go of Yasopp's neck and looked up. "Dada?" he asked confused.

"Sorry kid." Yasopp mumbled. "I'll help you target practise some other day." He told putting Usopp down. "I'm… I'm just not up for it right now." He told as he with hung head and slunken shoulders walked for the door, and was just about to exit it and get all the way out of the house, before a little voice sounded behind him.

"Mama."

Yasopp turned around and saw that Banchina had entered the room for the kitchen and now lifted Usopp up.

How much had she seen? And now she was looking at Yasopp with that look. That one specific look.

Some-how Yasopp wished dearly that she would look angry or disappointed, shout at him for being such a lousy father. But she didn't, all she did was looking very sad as she looked at Yasopp with those heavy eyes, before she without a word turned around and walked back into the kitchen with Usopp in her arms.

Yasopp sighed deeply as he turned back to the door and opened it and wandered out-side, out to one of his usual spots.. the bench, high up on the mountain, where he had free view to the ocean.

Some-times Yasopp could sit at that spot just looking at the ocean for an entire day, ones he had just been sitting there for both a day and a night in a row, before Banchina had come to fetch him back.

And ones again, Yasopp was in a mood where he just didn't feel like moving at all, how long he had been sitting there looking at the ocean.. Yasopp didn't know, he had absolutely no idea. He just knew that suddenly, it was sunset, and the sun was sinking behind the waves, painting both the sky and the ocean deep orange and purple.

And that was the moment a silent present came, Yasopp didn't even have to look to know who it was. Only one person ever came up here, himself, and only one other had any reason to come at that spot, his wife.

Silently the presence sat herself beside Yasopp, and Yasopp finally shifted his eyes so he could see Banchina sitting silently next to him, also looking to the ocean as the sun behind her silhouted her frame, her raven hair, her long nose, and the child sleeping deeply in her arms, probably exhausted from this days big adventures all-ready.

Yasopp sighed deeply as he leaned his chin in his hands and looked back to the ocean.. and for some time, they just sat like that in complete silence, that was until Banchina broke that silence, with one small sentence.

"You are unhappy." Banchina said, it was not a question, but a statement, not an angry one or a sharp one, but a rather sad and quiet one.

Yasopp blinked as he turned to his wife. "What?" he asked. "Wha.. what makes you say that!?" he asked. "Me unhappy, ha ha! Why would I be that!?" he asked. "I got you and Usopp, how could any-one ever want more!?" he asked, though it was very obvious that his big grin was fake, he tried, honestly tried, to force his words into becoming the truth, they just wouldn't.

"You are unhappy." Banchina pointed out ones again turning her head towards Yasopp so their eyes met. "I just wish I could help you some-how." She told. "I'm your wife, I want to help, what can I do?" she asked lifting a hand to stroke Yasopp's cheek.

Yasopp sighed deeply, before he grabbed Banchinas hand, to hold it to his cheek, and nussle a little into it. "I honestly don't know." He told. "Banchina, you have done so much for me, you have done every-thing you could, it's not your fault." He told honestly holding her hand in his own. "You are the most perfect woman in the world, I am so lucky to have you, I know that I am, and I appreciate you, I even love you, please believe me. I just… I.." Yasopp tried hopelessly as he held Banchinas hand and hopelessly looked into her eyes for guidance. But ones again, Banchina just looked sad, and that was it, she looked just as hopeless and guideless as Yasopp felt.

Finally he just had no choice as he let go off Banchinas hand and covered his face with his hands as he hissed. "What do I do Banchina?" he asked. "God, it used to be so simple. Shoot down the marines, sail away and sing a song before the next raid. I am good at all of that, I ones single handily fought through an armada of cannibals with only ten bullets left. And yet when it comes to be the man my wife deserves, I just can't do it!" he told hopelessly looking at Banchina. "Please tell me what I can do." He begged his wife.

Banchina just looked at Yasopp, then reached forward a hand and gently rested it on Yasopp's, then leaned forward and rested her own forehead on Yasopp's, to just sit there in silence, letting a few single tears escape her eyes.

They were interrupted though by yells.

"What the!?" Yasopp blinked as he sat up.

Banchina squinted her eyes. "I think… I think it's from the village." She pointed out standing up.

So did Yasopp as he held a hand to his ear. "Sshh." He whispered, making Banchina touch Usopp tightly into her body as they both listened intensely at the voices.

"Pirates! PIRATES!" a man yelled.

Yasopp's eyes widened. "Pirates!?" he asked in a big exclaim at at ones started scouting the sea in front of him.

"Do you see any-thing!?" Banchina asked. "Is it any-one dangerous?" both of them knew that Yasopp's eye-sight was beyond good, in fact it was almost inhuman how far he could see without any help, even in semi darkness like this.

And then Yasopp's eyes widened. "I don't believe it." He barely whispered.

"What!?" Banchina asked.

"It's.. IT'S SHANKS!" Yasopp exclaimed as he lighted up in a big genuine grin looking at Banchina. "He's back at this Island, can you believe it!?" he asked. "AND THE REST OF THE GANG TO!" Yasopp exclaimed looking back at the ocean. "What on earth could they be doing here?" he asked in a big laugh placing his hands on his hips. "I thought they were heading for grand-line! I thought that.." Yasopp halted as he looked at Banchina, suddenly she looked twice as sad as before, she was even crying.

Yasopp blinked surprised. "Banchina what?" he asked.

"Sorry." Banchina sniffed whisking away a tear. "I'm being silly I'm.." she clutched Usopp close. "I better get back and put Usopp to bed, you take care now." She asked turning around.

"Wait Banchina what's?" Yasopp asked reaching for his wife, but she ran from him. Confused Yasopp stood back and looked after where his wife had run to, then his eyes returned to the ship by the ocean. "No." Yasopp hissed as he shook his head. "That's not my life any-more, I'm settled now." He stated. "I just.. need a bit of rest." Yasopp mumbled sitting back down on the bench, resting his chin in both his hands.

That bit of rest became.. quiet long, first as the sun was rising again, did a very groggy Yasopp find his way back to his house, opened the door and in a big yawn wandered in.

Only to suddenly stop and blink wide-eyed at what he saw in front of him. "Banchina.. what is this?" he asked as he right on the table in front of him, saw a big packed back-pack, a bento full of food and… Yasopp's old gun which he hadn't touched since he had married Banchina.

Banchina stepped out in the living room, Usopp stomping after her feet's, holding the tip of her skirt close in his hand. "It's your backpack, lunch and gun." Banchina told shortly looking at Yasopp.

Yasopp blinked. "I can see that." He admitted. "What I meant is, what are they doing on the table?" he asked.

"I made it ready for you." Banchina told picking up his back-pack as she reached it to him. "You need to hurry down to the ship before it leaves." She stated.

"What!?" Yasopp asked. "You.. you want me to leave?" he asked. "Why? Are you fed up with me?" he asked deeply confused.

Banchina closed her eyes as she shook her head. "No." she stated.

"Is it because I am a lousy father and a bad influence on Usopp?" Yasopp asked.

Ones again Banchina shook her head as a tear fell down her squinted eyes. "No." She stated ones again.

"Then what is it!?" Yasopp exclaimed. "Why all of this? Tell me Banchina."

"It's the only way I am able to make you happy!" Banchina exclaimed as she looked at Yasopp with tears in her eyes.

Astounded Yasopp's eyes widened as he stood back. "What.. what do you mean?" he asked as he tried to smile. "Banchina, that's just.."

"I'm not blind you know." Banchina told. "The man I've spend the last year with is not the man I married, and not the man I fell in love with." She told. "The man I fell in love with would laugh and smile at every instance, there was a certain twinkle in his eyes. But then it went away, it vanished. Until yesterday evening." She told.

"Yesterday?" Yasopp asked confused.

"When you realised Shanks was here, suddenly the man I fell in love with came back, your smile was back." Banchina told. "Yasopp I'm sorry." She told looking down.

"For what?" Yasopp asked. "Banchina, you're not making any sense!"

"I'm sorry that I've been terrible selfish." Banchina told as tears rolled down her eyes as she clutched her backpack. "For some people, one little island is all-ready very big and scary, they are afraid of going any further, so as long as they are safe in a little comfortable life, they will be happy. People like me. Then there are people so much bigger than that, for them to be just one little island is the same as being in a small prison, they will feel trapped, helpless.. they are not meant to be on a prison island. Yasopp I was the one trapping you here, please forgive me!" Banchina begged looking up at Yasopp.

"No Banchina." Yasopp shook his head. "It was my choice to settle! I did it because I love you."

"But I am not enough for a man like you am I?" Banchina asked. "You need more than that, more than what I can offer." She told. "And the only reason why you are staying is because you feel responsible for me and Usopp." She told.

"No no I." Yasopp tried, but he all-ready knew it was a lost battle.

"YASOPP IF YOU DON'T LEAVE I WILL!" Banchina yelled.

Wide-eyed Yasopp starred at her.

"I'll leave." Banchina stated with tears streaming down her eyes. "And I'll take Usopp with me, to another island. You wont know where, then you wont have any reason at all to stay here, you'll have to leave." She stated.

For some time they just stood there, tears falling down Banchinas eyes, Yasopp in total shock, and Usopp in stunned silence behind Banchina, though he had no idea what was going on.

Then Yasopp stepped forward, grabbed Banchina and hugged her close as he cried. "I'm sorry!" he exclaimed. "I'm so sorry." He cried on as he held Banchina close, clutched her in his arms. "I didn't know, I thought it would all be good, because I really do love you, but I just couldn't make it work! I didn't know how."

Slowly Banchinas arms sneaked around Yasopp, and equally held him tight. "I love you to." Banchina whispered. "So very very much Yasopp, that's why I can't stand seeing you so unhappy, please go." She asked again.

"I'll come back." Yasopp stated. "I promise! I just need a little more adventure, that's all."

"Don't make promises you can't keep." Banchina asked. "It's all-right Yasopp I get it." She told resting her head in his chest. "And don't feel bad, I treasure every good day we had together, I actually always knew that I.." she blushed deeply. "Had fallen in love with the wrong man." she told as she bit her lip. "I just couldn't help it, so I stole you, that was very wicked of me." she stated in a even deeper blush bowing her head. "But it was worth it, you gave me the biggest treasure in the world." She told, letting a hand fall down to where she could lightly touch Usopp's hair, where he stood clutching to her leg, having no idea what was going on, only that it was some-how serious.

"God Banchina." Yasopp hiccupped as he held her close. "You are way to nice for your own good, you know that?" he asked standing back as he held her face in his hands. "You should be angry with me, disappointed with me, any-thing and you just." He shook his head. "I never deserved you." He told.

"That was for me to decide wasn't it?" Banchina asked. "And we did have a good run for a while." She pointed out.

Yasopp smiled lightly as he brushed Banchinas face with his thumb, then leaned over and kissed his wife deeply, tears running down both his owns and Banchinas eyes, before at last they parted and finally Banchina smiled at Yasopp. "Now go." She asked.

"You can come with me to the ship." Yasopp pointed out.

Banchina shook her head. "Better not, it'll just make it harder for both of us." She told.

Sadly Yasopp nodded as he took his backpack, then reached his gun.. and just by touching, suddenly he felt a thousand times more like his old self, the man he truly was.

Yasopp sighed as he gave Banchina a last glance.. and then he gave her one of his famous smiles and a thumbs up. "I'll come back for you, you can bet on it." He stated. "You're still my wife, so stay faithful." He instructed.

"Okay." Banchina nodded smiling back at him a little defeated.

Yasopp smiled as he reached forward a hand, gently grabbed Banchinas chin and kissed her again, the same way they would kiss back when they first met and were newly in love, before he let go, turned around and waved over his shoulder as he was on his wife. "See you later babe." He stated making Banchina giggle.

How-ever, as Yasopp was half way down the hill, a new voice stopped him.

"DADA! DADA!"

Wide-eyed Yasopp turned around and witnessed his tiny son coming running down the hill, in spite of the fact that he should barely be able to walk at this age! And truly enough, suddenly Usopp stumbled and fell over before he made the rest of the way to Yasopp in a series of Summersaults, and at last was stopped by Yasopp's leg, which he suddenly clutched as if he wouldn't let go. "Dada." He stated.

Yasopp sighed as he sat down on his knee. "Now look at you, all full of dirt and bruises." Yasopp commented as he tried to brush Usopp free of the dirt. "Not that that is any-thing new." He commented to himself rolling his eyes. "You are a little prober adventurer you are." Yasopp grinned ruffling up Usopp's black curls. "And some day, you are going to be a big prober adventurer, just like dada." He grinned.

"Dada?" Usopp asked looking at Yasopp with big wide-eyed, and then clutched to his legs again squinting his eyes.

"Now now Usopp, don't be stubborn." Yasopp asked in a stern voice. "You can't come with me, the big ocean is just to dangerous for a little tyke like you." He told holding Usopp's shoulder. "Beside, with me gone, you'll be the man in the house." He told, suddenly new tears pressing on. "You'll have to take good care of your mom now, I don't think she even knows how to throw a fit." He commented more tears dripping down his cheeks. "So you'll have to be a strong man for her Usopp." He told.

Standing back and without understanding at all Usopp looked up at Yasopp. "Dada?" he asked.

"Listen, we'll see each other again, I promise! I'm your father and I love you." Yasopp told. "And if you still want to be a pirate and adventurer when you are really big, I'll take you with me! I can teach you how to use a gun! And set a prober sail, read the waves. I got so much to teach you Usopp! and I just know you'll be a natural at it all." He told as he swallowed. "So for now, you'll be a big boy now, and go back to be with your mother, don't let her be alone, that'll make her sad."

Usopp blinked up at Yasopp, still with very little understanding in his eyes, before at last Yasopp picked him up to give Usopp a big hug, holding him tight. "You're still such a tiny little tyke." Yasopp commented clutching Usopp in his arms. "But you're stronger than you look and smarter than you think." He told. "Just.. be safe Usopp!" he told. "Grow up and be strong all-right?" he asked. "And I'll love you, even though I am far away, no matter what you decide to do with your life. And I'll see you before you know it!" he stated kissing Usopp on the cheek then on the fore-head.

"Da.. da.." Usopp stated very silently, holding Yasopp's neck with his tiny arms, as if he knew that Yasopp needed to comfort right now, before at last Yasopp put down the little boy, faced him in the right direction back to the house, and at last gave him a little push.

"Now go back to your mother." Yasopp demanded. "She'll need you now." He told.

And Usopp brightened up in a big smile. "MAMA!" he exclaimed waltzing back up the hill in a very clumsy manner that barely qualified for a walk.

And Yasopp kept on watching him, until Usopp was over the hill and Yasopp was sure that Banchina could see him, and then turned around, took a deep breath, and walked down the path, down to meet up with his old crew, whom would hopefully accept him back, even if it was just meant to be temporary..

Temporary.. sure. It was never going to be temporary when you worked with true nakamas on big adventures.

'I'm Usopp, and I was lead to believe that you were... erh... are.. My father'

Yasopp kept a close eye on the young man in front of him as they found their way back to the ship.

Him being Usopp!? IMPOSSIBLE! He was way to big to be Usopp, way to tall, way to muscular, his Usopp wasn't old enough to have a beard! Even if it was just a tiny boys one.

Or be on the ocean, or be an accomplished Sniper. Absolutely not big enough to have a bounty on his head!

What was going on!? Who was this strange kid, what did he want with him? Was the biggest question that Yasopp kept asking in his mind.

"Dada.."

"Huh?" Yasopp looked straight ahead at the strange boy whom had mostly just mumbled the word.

"Oh Sorry!" The strange boy grinned waving his hand. "It was like I just remembered some-thing, but it seems so fluffy and weird." He told. "It was probably just a dream I had ones, that I called some-one 'dada'." he shook his head. "How silly, would only be a baby whom would calls any-one 'dada.'" He commented, before looking forward brushing apart a branch. "OH LOOK!" he exclaimed. "The ocean and.." he lifted his goggles to have a closer look to the left. "I see the mast of a ship! That has to be your ship Yasopp." He commented and easily jumped out of the bushes. "Now I can get my boat and get back to my own ship." He grinned.

Yasopp sighed deeply as he to emerged from the plants. "Yeah.." he mumbled. "Yeah I guess so."

AN; Then they had a fight they both enjoyed, crying out their reuinon, arm wrestled, and Yasopp woke Usopp up very early the next morning so they could do target sniper practise X)

I like to think he litterately dragged Usopp out of bed. "Come on Son! Life is short, we are going to play with guns now!" "Dad you don't have to carry me, what am I? A sack of potatoes!? I'm not a kid!" "Nonsense, in my eyes, you are as small an adorable as when I last saw you!" "Daaaaaad!"

... why the hell didn't I write that scene into the fic?
