The Straw Hats meet Usopp, a boy who never met a truth he didn't like to stretch.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Episode 3 of One Piece.Welcome to Syrup Village, a charming little port town that features a shipyard, a bustling marketplace, and... a boy who likes to cause trouble. One Piece Episode 3, "Tell No Tales," opens on that very boy, a young Usopp , tearing through town screaming about how the pirates are coming.
In the shipyard, Luffy starts listing out his dream requirements for a ship with all the enthusiasm of a first-time homebuyer who has no idea how much things actually cost.
While the rest of the crew gets ready for dinner, Usopp sneaks in to see Kaya and give her her birthday present: a giant pearl. While the pearl may or may not be real, the real highlight of the gift is the fanciful story that comes with it, one that has Kaya so amused she starts coughing hard enough to restrict airflow. Usopp gives her the tea that will supposedly help, a tea that is suspiciously and unnaturally bright blue, and asks if her health has changed at all.
Though Koby doesn't return to the Manga narrative until much later in the game, having him as the newbie POV on the Marine side of things acts not only as a balance to Luffy's own growth as a pirate but also makes that whole side of the story more accessible. It's not the older men of the World Government hunting down our heroes, it's a peer and a one-time friend of theirs overall trying to do some good in the world, and really grounds the story overall.
