"Listen up, everyone!"

Usopp, Robin, Franky, and Zoro all listened intently to Kin'emon's explanation.

"This is Wano Country. The Shogun's name is Kurozumi Orochi! He and all of the government officials who serve under him have without a doubt the backing of Kaido! The government officials of this country are oppressive, but if you lay a single hand on them, Kaido will surely hear about it. Therefore, until we've rallied enough people to our cause, and until our preparations for battle are complete, we cannot allow our identities to be exposed! First, we will assimilate with the inhabitants of this country. So please, let's complete this mission quietly!"

The entire group nodded.

"Good. Now, I'll need to give you all proper disguises and identities."

"Ah, excuse me? I need to take a leak, so can you wait for a few minutes?"

"That is fine Usopp."

Usopp walked out of the ruins of Oden Castle with his slingshot Black Kabuto.

"You're taking your slingshot with you?" Zoro asked, "Aren't you just taking a leak?"

"There might be terrifying monsters hiding in this forest. Or, there might be an enemy wandering around. This is Kaidou's territory after all."

Zoro just shrugged. "Do as you wish."

"Good, as I REALLY have to go!"

Usopp bolted out of the ruins and into the forest. He didn't go too far, just far enough to be out of sight behind a tree.

"Ah, I forgot to tell him that we have an outhouse here," Kin'emon realized.

"Just tell him when he gets back."

Usopp sighed in relief as he finally was able to do his business. Luckily, no monsters or pirates showed up to kill him while he was away from the real monsters of his group like Zoro.

It's not that he had no confidence in his own fighting abilities. He worked hard for the last two years to make sure that he wasn't a burden to his captain after all. It's just that the monsters of the New World were on another level. There was strong, and then there was a level of strength that he could never hope to overcome.

Against Trebol, even when he showed up to fight, he was completely helpless. It was really chance that he ended up succeeding in his mission anyways. It's hard to be brave when the odds are so hopeless, but then again, if being a brave warrior of the sea was easy, then it wouldn't be his dream. Regardless, if a monster of the Beast Pirates like Jack showed up, Usopp's best bet was to run.

In the end, thoughts of running away were pointless as he completed his business without accident. He contently walked back to the ruins only to take a wrong step. The ground under him fell and Usopp fell with it.

"A pitfall? AHHHH!"

As Usopp fell into the abyss, the hole closed itself, leaving no trace of Usopp's disappearance.

As soon as he heard the scream, Zoro bolted out of the ruins, hands ready to draw his swords if needed. He could not sense Usopp with his Observation Haki at all. Robin, Franky, and Kin'emon followed.

"I can't sense him at all. Robin?"

Robin crossed her arms and grew eyes and ears all over the forest.

"I don't see him anywhere. Any possible threats to him are also not present."

Zoro's grip on his sword tightened. "Damnit! How could he have disappeared from under our noses?! Who could have done this?!"

"I too am worried for Usopp," Kin'emon said, "so please, while you are all undercover in Wano, try to learn about what could have happened to him."

"That's not something you need to ask us to do."

When Usopp stopped falling, he found himself underwater. He swam to the surface only to see that he was very close to the coast of some city. It was still afternoon. The city did not look like anything in Wano however. The architecture was completely different, and there was a dock with ships that did not look Wano-esque either.

Where in the world am I?

Usopp swam to the docks and pulled himself up. It didn't look like there was anyone that saw him. He took of his shirt and started wringing out the water from it. While he was doing that, a local police officer spotted him. He was bored and curious, so he decided to walk up to the strange, long nosed man.

"Did you decide to go for a swim?"

Startled, Usopp said, "Ah, yes of course!"

"At a port?"

"Of course!"

The officer sighed. "Be careful for ships. I'll let you off with a warning this time, but try not to swim in waters that have heavy ship traffic."

When the officer walked away, Usopp realized that he must have been from some sort of local law enforcement organization. The man wasn't from the marines at least, but the fact that he didn't recognize the great 'God Usopp' was strange. He was a wanted man after all. Usopp wouldn't complain though. The less trouble he had to deal with, the better.

Usopp was still a little wet, but he decided that he couldn't stay at the docks forever. He needed to figure out where he was, and if he bought a Den Den Mushi, he could probably call Kin'emon and the rest to tell them where he was. Everyone else still needed him in Wano, and even if his absence wouldn't be the worst loss from a militaristic perspective, there was no way everyone else could fight as effectively if they were too busy worrying about him. It was his duty to at least let everyone know that he was safe, even if he personally couldn't make it to Wano in time.

Usopp walked in the streets of this unknown city. No one recognized him at all, but he could tell some people were staring at his nose.

Was his long nose really that much of a oddity? Usopp remembered seeing people with heads as large as their torsos, and other stranger body shapes and features were not uncommon. Although, looking at everyone else in this city, such strange features seem nonexistent. They were mostly normal. He did spot some people that looked to be half-mink every now and then however.

Usopp looked around until he found a shop. It looked to be the type that might have a Den Den Mushi or at least some basic supplies. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be anything like that in the shop. There were some food supplies, some unrecognizable items, a world map, a-

Usopp's eyes came out of their sockets. He couldn't believe the map he was seeing. The structure of the land and everything felt incorrect.

"That map caught you by surprise?" the store owner asked.

"Me?" Usopp started laughing. "You really think that a map could elicit such a reaction from the great Usopp-Sama?! It is a shame that people as ignorant as you exist in the world."

The owner blinked a few times. "Usoppsama is a strange name."

"My name is Usopp! The sama is an honorific!"

The owner sighed at the long nosed man's antics. "You're just making that up, aren't you? Anyways, are you going to buy anything?"

"Hmm… I'll probably take this map."

"That will be 20 lien please."

"That's fine, just give me a second."

Usopp dug through his bag and found some spare beris… "Wait, did you say lien? How does that convert to beris?"

"We don't take fruit."

"It's not fruit! I mean beris!"

Usopp took out some of the currency from his world and showed it to the man. It was still wet, but it was not destroyed.

"This looks like Monopoly money."

"Do you take that?"

"No! Of course not! Now, if you don't have any lien, then there isn't a point for you to be in this store."

"Ah, sorry. I'll be leaving then."

"You know, how is it even possible for you to have no lien? With that weapon, you look like a huntsman."

"Huntsman?"

"Are you not one?"

"What? Of course I am! I was a prodigy hunter when I was only three years old. There was this HUGE grizzly bear, but I took it out with a single shot! Ha ha, that was only the start to my career as a hunter! Ha ha ha!"

The store owner could not believe that the man would state such an obvious lie. At this point, he was sure that this Usopp had no idea what he was talking about.

"I said Hunstman, not hunter. There is a huge difference. Huntsmen and Huntresses are the brave heroes that protect this country and others. You knew that… right?"

"...Of course I did. Don't be silly now."

"Right… If you're not a Huntsman, are you a student at Beacon?"

"Beacon?"

"It's… ah, why don't you know anything! It's the Huntsman academy at Vale! I heard that an airship is heading there soon for initiation if you're interested, as it seems like you aren't even a student."

"Alright… if you ever want to hear more tales of my heroism in my younger years, then don't be afraid to seek me out. If not, I'll be leaving now."

As Usopp left, he tried to process some of the things he learned. Wherever he was, it was likely an isolated part of the world that doesn't even use beris as currency. Although, just how isolated would a country have to be for that not to be the case? The only examples he could think of were Skypiea and Wano. Both had impressive natural barriers that prevented entry. However, this place has a harbor and calm seas. The map he found was also intriguing. It claimed to be a world map, but Usopp felt that the claim was worse that a child's lie. Nonetheless, it seemed that he was in a country called Vale, and there were several other neighboring islands that had their own countries if he remembered the map he saw correctly.

Although, what if that map really was a world map? Usopp shook his head of such a ridiculous thought. It was absolutely unbelievable. All he did was fall through a hole in the ground after all!

Regardless, he had no money and no job. He could always steal, but he didn't want to get in trouble with the law already. Having nothing to do, Usopp wandered the city until nightfall. He kept an eye out for any Den Den Mushis, but he never found any. Looking up at the night sky, however, was a sight that made Usopp's jaw drop.

The moon. Shattered.

Usopp fell to his knees. "Wh... What the hell?"

A shiver went up Usopp's spine. He never remembered the moon being shattered like that. Even if he was on some faraway island, no amount of distance would make the moon look like that.

Considering the strange currency, the world map, the calm seas, and the profession he never heard of before, there was only one conclusion he could make.

He really was on another world. He may never get back to Wano, and he surely couldn't let everyone know that he was alive.

Worst of all, whatever this world was, it had something that made the moon shatter. If it was someone instead of a natural occurrence that caused it, then he prayed to God that he would never have to fight that person.

Usopp's overactive imagination was already considering the worst case scenario. However, he needed to figure out what he wanted to do now. He could try to be a pirate in this new world, but there didn't seem to be any real island chains on the map. He wasn't confident that he could ever hold as much respect as a captain that Luffy was able to, and finding a crew would be difficult. Also, it didn't feel right starting his own pirate crew after dedicating himself to Luffy.

But, how would be become a brave warrior of the sea then? Usopp then remembered something that he heard from the store owner. He could be a Huntsman. It seemed that he was already mistaken for one, and they were called the brave heroes that protected the country. From what exactly, he wasn't sure, but it was probably his best option. He wasn't sure if he could ever return to Luffy, but if there was a way, he might find it as a huntsman.

It had nothing to do with the fact that others would see him as brave. Nothing at all...

Regardless, he would have to wait until tomorrow before heading to Beacon, as it was already nighttime. He had no home to sleep in, so he would unfortunately have to sleep on the streets. It was worse than being on the Sunny for sure, but he spent two years on an island with carnivorous plants and giant insects. He would be fine, even if he had to be careful not to be robbed in the middle of the night.

The next day, Usopp decided to look for wherever the supposed airship was leaving from. Usopp wasn't really sure what he was going to do if it really was an airship. The thought of entering a ship without being sure if it would remain in the air reminded him of his time on Enel's Arc. That ship was powered by Enel's devil fruit, but what of the airships here? What powered them?

What Usopp didn't know of was the existence of Dust. Considering how much he wandered, he should have normally found a dust shop. However, a lot of them had been closed down due to a string of robberies.

Initiation seemed to be a popular event as there were plenty of signs to show the way, and following a crowd of people didn't make things hard either.

When Usopp saw the airship, he hesitated for a bit.

It's a real airship… probably. Maybe I shouldn't get on… No, I have to get on. I don't know if I'll ever see my crew ever again, or if I can ever make it to my old world. If I want to be a brave warrior of the sea, or at least a brave warrior like the giants of Elbaf, I can't run away from something like this. And, if there is a way to head back, I might find it as a huntsman.

In the end, Usopp steeled himself and took the first step towards his career as a Huntsman, and possibly the first step towards finding a way home.

A/N: Some people might be wondering why I chose Usopp, and just Usopp. Yes, the teams are normally teams of four. No, I'm not kicking anyone out for a team RUBY or something, nor am I going to roll with RUWBY or JUNPR despite how the name fits. I could have brought over other One Piece characters for a full team, but I decided against it. Managing one new character is a lot less of a hassle, and bringing in any monsters like Zoro or Luffy might just break the RWBY verse. Usopp on the other hand is not so strong that he would be an undefeatable god. He is also primarily a weapon user, and unlike Nami, his dream isn't completely shattered just by travelling to a new world.

Now, Usopp is pretty controversial due to his cowardice. I won't be taking that away, but since the level of power is just in general much lower in this world, Usopp will naturally gain some confidence over time, and he'll be working towards his dream.
