One Piece Season 9 Episode 323

Departing the City of Water! Usopp Mans Up and Brings Closure to the Duel!

With Franky now a member of the Straw Hats, the crew set sail to evade Garp as he returned to Water 7 direct orders from Fleet-Admiral Sengoku. When Franky notices that Usopp had not yet returned to them, Luffy explains to Franky that Sanji saw Usopp practicing ways to return to the group a few days prior. Luffy is then convinced by Zoro, who threatens to leave the crew at the time, that the only way they can welcome back Usopp is his first words are an apology. But as Usopp runs to the dock, his window of opportunity is slowly closing as the Straw Hats attempt to fend off the barrage of cannonballs personally thrown by Garp. When Usopp arrives, he attempts to rejoin the crew as if nothing happened with his words falling on deaf ears. It was only after Usopp realizes his faults and begs for forgiveness that a tearful Luffy reaches out and pulls him aboard.
