Directly related to and the resolution of the fight between Luffy and Usopp (recommended reading). If you remember, the argument and clash resulted in Usopp leaving the crew, as he and Luffy parted in angry/sorrowful tears.
A lot transpired since then, where Usopp showed where his loyalties really lie by risking his life to help rescue his former nakama (friends/crewmates/hing-tai). The Straw Hat pirates are eager to welcome him back…
But can what transpired be so easily erased? Read from right to left, as it’s from Japanese. Sourced from

Oh no… What Zoro says has a point, disheartening though it may be… How can the crew go on trusting in a captain if he isn’t strong willed and firm? And how can they accept back a former nakama who does not repent of his mistake?
So the Straw Hats set sail on their new ship as the Marines are hot on their tail… But just as they are leaving, who else but Usopp comes running after them!
What will Usopp do??? What about the pride… Of a MAN…
Yeah Usopp!!!!!!! It takes a REAL MAN to admit his wrong and beg for forgiveness, with tears of comradely sorrow that flow from his heart!
WELCOME BACK USOPP! WE MISSED YOU!!!
