Put Your Coat On!

The snow was shimmering silver when they docked at the Winter Island. It was a small island with just two mountains and a little village he'd spotted earlier, as far as they knew. But it was cold; and wet. But mostly just cold.

Usopp frowned as the snowflakes falling (read: smashing/whipping/tearing) into his eyes. They hadn't even docked for five minutes and he was freezing even with a thick coat on.

He glanced around the ship, counting how many crew members there were (one, two, three, four—eight there were and his heart swelled in happiness)—a habit he'd picked up after Fishman Island. He frowned when he saw his captain in nothing more than his red vest and short trousers, grin as always on his face.

"Luffy, put a coat on—I'm freezing just at looking at you!" Usopp yelled, still frowning.

His captain only grinned. "Shishishi! Don't worry about it, I'll be fine!"

"No you won't be fine," Usdopp insisted, seeing Nami and Chopper nod in agreement.

"Shishishishi! It's gonna be fine!"

Usopp pursed his lips before sighing. "I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice," he turned towards Zoro, rolling his eyes when the swordsman only yawned at the whole scene. "Hey Zoro! Tell Luffy that he should put on a coat!"

Zoro looked at him before he shrugged. "The captain can do what he wants."

Usopp frowned again. "Not if he's being stupid and could potentially make himself sick!"

"Captain can do what he wants," Zoro repeated, as if that was the answer to everything concerning Luffy (in a weird, roundabout, completely insane way, it was, Usopp supposed). The swordsman yawned again. "Besides, Luffy never gets sick."

"I don't care if he doesn't get sick, he has to take care of himself!" Usopp insisted, a vein popping on his forehead.

"The captain can do what he—"

Usopp grabbed the front of Zoro's coat, dragging him forward until they were nose to nose (and with his long nose, that was not too near, but it brought his point across) and glared at him. "Say that one more time and I will let my Midori Boshi: Devil eat you while I stab you with my Midori Boshi: Take Javelin to death, are we clear?" Zoro nodded slowly, and Usopp just glared harder, letting go of Zoro. "Good. Now get Luffy to put on his coat before I shove a Deluxe Tabasco Star so far up your ass that your grandchildren will feel it!"

Usopp huffed and turned around. "C'mon Chopper, let's go to the pharmacy—you wanted to get some herbs, didn't you?"

"E-eh? Ah! Um, yeah, I did!" Chopper quickly exclaimed, looking at Usopp with wide eyes.

Usopp just smiled as if he hadn't just threatened the second strongest person on the crew, and started walking towards the ladder. "Then let's go!"

"Ah, yes!" Chopper ran after Usopp, looking over his shoulder and giving them all a questioning glance, before looking back at the sniper and catching up to him.

"SHISHISHISHI! Usopp got you good, Zoro! Shishishishi!"

"Impressive," Robin commented, looking towards the direction where the sniper and the doctor went and smiling.

"Huh, who knew?" Franky chuckled, grinning like an idiot. "Usopp's got some guts after two years!"

"Yohohohoho! I say!"

Zoro said nothing and picked up a coat off the floor, walking towards his captain before stretching out his arm and offering the coat to his captain, grumbling. "Here."

Sanji burst out laughing. "Shitty marimo's scared of Usopp!"

"Shut up, love-cook," Zoro grumbled dangerously, glaring at Sanji.

Sanji continued giggling, smirking (looked more like a shit-eating grin to Zoro, but that was besides the point). "Come on, as if Usopp was actually serious about that."

"I don't care if he was serious or not," Zoro grounded out, eyebrow ticking in annoyance. "He can still pull pranks at me and disturb my sleep; and to be honest, I don't want Tabasco and shit shot at me by a pissed sniper."

Sanji just burst out laughing again.

"SANJI! INSTEAD OF LAUGHING LIKE A HOOLIGAN, HELP ZORO BRING LUFFY INTO THAT COAT OR I'LL INFEST YOUR KITCHEN WITH SPIDERS!" Usopp's voice yelled from a distance away, quite angry and a dark promise underneath the words.

"...Luffy, put on that shitty coat before I'll force you into it."

Luffy just laughed at the whole scene.

Author Note:

...I don't even know, lol. My failed attempt at humor. I'm sorry.

This idea came to me from my story 'Mouring and Acceptance', since I started noticing the little things that changed from two years before that I'm inserting (or that may be there, I don't know. Oda doesn't show enough casual!Stawhats).

Usopp just seems like the kind of person to be a Mother Hen (worse after two years and a boost of confidence), and I can't help but imagine him being a bit aggressive when it comes to the safety of his crew members (especially the ones that are near suicidal and have no common sense whatsoever).

…It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I wanted Usopp to say 'shove a pepper star so far up your ass that your grandchildren can feel it. Ttly. Psh, how'd you get that idea. Pfft. (I just decided to change it to Tabasco 'cause it hurts—but I didn't do it because I wanted him to say that...honest!).

Yeah anyway, depending on the response I'll get, I'm gonna post little one-shots with the Straw Hats' current idiosyncrasies. Most likely sad ones, but hey! Give me some funny ideas and maybe I'll write them!

Thank you for reading and please review!
