It took a while, but the two joined ships finally made it to their intended destination. Anchoring just outside a wide set of cliffs. The only visible way to enter the island is through a long incline framed by the cliffs. 
                          
It'd be an advantageous area to defend if need be. 
                          
Lambo cracked his knuckles shaking out his fingers, stretching out his arms, and rolling his shoulders after being cooped up on a small ship for so long. 
                          
"Feels good to be on dry land again.", Zoro grunted in satisfaction as he stretches out his cramped muscles. 
                          
"You can say that again.", Lambo agreed. 
                          
"There's a village around here somewhere, right?", Luffy asked, excited for fresh meat. 
                          
"Yeah, it looks like a small one though.", Nami comments lightly. 
                          
"Oo! Oo! Then there's meat!", Luffy exclaims running up close to Nami while drooling, "There has to be meat! There's a place with meat in this village!!" 
                          
"Just forget about meat for a minute would cha?", Nami asked irritably, a vein popping on her forehead as she scringed away from Luffy in disgust at the sight of his drool. 
                          
Lambo's ears perked up at the sound of the bushes on top of the cliffs rustling. The young teen is positive that the sound didn't come from the wind because it came from a specific area. 
                          
An area that Lambo studied closely, looking for something out of the ordinary. 
                          
Zoro noticed Lambo's gaze and followed it, studying the area as well for a moment before his eyes narrowed as he readied one of his swords, using his thumb to just remove just a slim of the blade from its sheath. Ready to draw the sword at a moment's notice. 
                          
"Careful.", Zoro warned, seriousness returned to his tone, "We're being watched."  
                          
"Huh?", Luffy asked before frantically, excitement clear on his features, looking for the culprit(s), "By who? Where are they? They got meat?" 
                          
Lambo deadpanned, "Is that all your worried about right now?" 
                          
"Look out!", Zoro shouts in warning. 
                          
His unexpected shout caused Lambo to jump in surprise, since he was standing right next to the swordsman. 
                          
Luffy began doing a weird dance with his feet in a panic in order to dodge the small barrage of bullets that were aimed at his feet. Nami ran over to her ship for cover and for a quick escape if needed. 
                          
Suddenly, multiple pirate flags appeared at the edge of the cliff, almost as if they were leering over the group. 
                          
"Woah...", Luffy said in awe before wildly waving his arms, "That's. So. COOL!!!" 
                          
"What kind of captain's crew did I agree to join?", Lampo asked incredulously as he stared at his easily impressed captain. 
                          
A laugh drew Lambo's attention back to the cliffs again to see a guy with darkly tanned skin, brown overalls, black curly hair, a bandana, with a satchel hanging at his side, and he had a really long nose. 
                          
"I am Usopp! Leader of the great pirate nation that reigns over this island!", the supposed 'pirate captain' proclaimed proudly, "You're standing before a living legend! The most revered pirate that has ever lived! I am the great captain Usopp!" 
                          
Lambo just stared at the man, unsure on how to react to all of this. 
                          
"Surely you know that plotting an attack on this island mean certain death!", Usopp exclaims convincingly, "My army of eighty million super pirate soldiers would squash you like bugs!!"
