DISCLAIMER: Once more I don't own One Piece but Oda Eiichiro sure as heck does, and I wouldn't have it any other way. :D Nor anything else One Piece related.
Hey guys I'm sorry for taking so long to actually work on Possiblities but since I started college I've had less free time than I thought I would but for those who enjoy this story don't worry because I'll somehow manage to find time to work on it. So in apology I wrote this super short little omake for you guys and also because Atsuko Uehara pointed out to me that I haven't hit on if any of the crew had picked up on anything between the two love birds.. the reason for that being I was focused on Zoro and Luffy so the rest of the crew got put on the back burner. At first I had planned to cover some of that in the next chapter but since I'm not sure how long that would take this is a 2 for 1 special! :D Lol
Uhmm nothing to be too concerned about except for a little bath time flashback ^^ Also there is some language.
Also, I'm sorry for any grammar, spellings, or any other errors in general that may have occurred within this fic. and there are bound to be some careless ones because I just finished it. So, if you spot some please let me know.
Any Japanese words/phrases (other than repeats) used in this story shall be noted in bold and translated in the end.
-:: OMAKE 1: CARE TO BET ::-
After exiting the bath Usopp couldn't help but to look more than a bit confused from what he had just seen. However he was more than aware of the chance that he just might have misinterpreted the entire scene as well. So he decided to give it one more try and playback the scene in his mind to determine what to believe or not. The scene opened up with Zoro washing Chopper's back and then after that Luffy ran over to take the reindeer's place. Though this back washing was completely different than the previous one as Zoro's hands had been touching the smaller boy's body that was in no way at all innocent. Then again that didn't worry him half as much as Luffy's reaction did. The boy's face had appeared somewhat flushed and his body tensed up as Zoro's hands moved lower. So Usopp had taken it upon himself to stop it in the most non-confrontational way he could think of, which was Usopp noise!' It was after that that the two had separated but even so the two held sullen expressions. He had taken the sullen expressions to represent Zoro's disappointment in not being able to continue and Luffy's to represent his regret of the moment. Besides it wasn't that weird to think that Zoro might be threatening their captain into obedience. The thought alone being enough to send him the mental picture of Luffy tightly bound and at the mercy of the swordsman. So it was natural for him to run back to the room where everybody else was, minus Luffy and Zoro of course. "Luffy's in trouble!"
"What!" Chopper instantly cried out in response to his words as he looked up from the medicine he was working on and proceeded to freak out. "What should we do-"
The little reindeer's words abruptly cut off as Nami gave Chopper a good whack on the head. "When isn't he in trouble! He's been nothing but trouble ever since we got here. Luffy can handle himself!"
It was at those words only freaked out a little more as he continued on. "No! I really mean it. Luffy needs help-"
"Is it the marines..?" Sanji asked a bit calmly as he lit up another smoke and put out his other smoke.
"No.. but-"
His words once more cut off as Sanji interrupted. "Then he'll be fine just like Nami-"
"But this time Zoro is the problem!" Usopp just finally blurted it out but his words only gained a smirk from Sanji, laughter from Nami, and one confused expression from Chopper. However he continued on very serious as he told them of what he saw. Naturally Chopper freaked out afterward because Usopp guessed that Chopper had just assumed Zoro washing backs now equaled dangerous. So Usopp instantly went to calm the reindeer by telling him that it wasn't the washing in general but just how Zoro was washing Luffy's. The explanation earning a small sigh of 'Yokatta!' from the reindeer but all the while the initial reactions of both Sanji and Nami remained the same. "Don't you guys care!"
"Usopp if Luffy really was in trouble he'd ask for help." Sanji replied with a bit of a smirk.
"You don't know that!" Usopp retorted back but just as he was about to open his mouth once more he was cut off by the red hair.
"Care to wager over the matter?"
Usopp just stared at her in a bit of disbelief but it'd be a lie to say that he was completely shocked by her actions. He just firmly shook his head as he brushed aside her comment. "Do whatever you want I'll go save Luffy!" His words sending the reindeer into a state of awe as Usopp started to gain some confidence and then excited the room. However as he left he could Chopper exclaiming 'Sugoi!' which made him just grin and boosted his ego. Yet when he reached the bath again his legs began to shiver and he became overcome with fear. After all if Zoro was forcing Luffy into this kind of thing then what would he do to him when he tried to put it all to a stop. A few thoughts running throughout his mind and each one managed to make him cringe as he started to think to himself, 'Luffy's strong he can take care of himself..'
Back in the room
"Will Luffy really be alright?" A very worried little reindeer asked.
"Yes Chopper Luffy is going to be just fine.. After all the great Usopp is going to save him." The last bit a rather sarcastic as Nami rolled her eyes.
It was at that the reindeer's eyes just lit up and he nodded his head. "Usopp truly is great isn't he?"
However at that Nami just twitched a bit before giving him another good whack to the head. "No, he isn't!" Chopper's eyes began to tear up a bit and Nami just sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. "But you know who truly is great..? Our wonderful Doctor Chopper." A smile on her lips as she was trying to cheer him up.
"Asshole~! That doesn't make me happy in the least." A smile now plastered on the little reindeer's face at her words as he danced about for a moment before returning to work on his medicine.
"Oi Nami what do you think about what Usopp said..?"
She couldn't help but to look at Sanji for a moment as she jusst shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure but if Zoro was forcing him or something Luffy would have surely done something about it already. So it's fine." It was at that she saw Sanji nod his head in agreement and she smiled as she added. "Though I can't say the same for Usopp."
Outside the bath
Usopp had finally regained enough composure to at least steady his voice as he called out, "Oi Zoro! Luffy! Are you guys still in there?" There was a small silence and he couldn't help but to wish that they had already left and that there would be not response. However his hopes were crushed as he heard Zoro's voice.
"Yeah we'll be right out. Luffy's just being a handful.. again."
It was then that Usopp tried to say something back but he couldn't muster up a single word and so he just grunted in agreement. After a few more minutes the two in question finally emerged from the bath. Not a single word uttered among the trio as they headed back to the room and the entire time Usopp could just feel a set of eyes burning holes in the back of his head. It was then that he couldn't help but to think to himself, 'Don't interfere with Zoro's plans EVER again..'
On the Going Merry
Their ship had just set sail from Arabasta and managed to get away from the marines with the help of the former Mr. 2, Bon Clay. It was also right after that Nico Robin had made her presence aboard their ship known. After the whole ship had calmed down Usopp sat down and began to interview her but about halfway through he said it was too dangerous and was about to give up. However when he saw her Devil's Fruit ability it was clearer than day that an idea popped into his head and Nami had witnessed it all so she had managed to piece together his thoughts.
"Hey Robin can you also do the same with your eyes or ears?"
It was at that that Robin just smiled and nodded her head a bit as she replied back. "Of course."
"Then that means you'll be able to help us with our little bet then if you don't mind." She said with a smile as she looked at Robin.
"Why certainly." Robin replied back with her same smile and a slight tilt of her head.
"W-wait a moment.. What bet?" His voice a bit cautious as she watched his gaze turn from Robin to her and then back once more.
"Don't tell me you forgot about our bet about Luffy and Zoro? After all you were the one who brought it-" Her words being cut off by an angry Usopp.
"I don't remembering agreeing to that bet!"
"Ohh really now? You were the one who said 'Do whatever you want' didn't you? So I just did.." Her fingers grasping firmly around his nose as he began to apologize but she didn't let up as she continued on. "Also since you claimed that Luffy is being threatened/forced by Zoro that's what you bet and I bet the opposite.. However now that Robin is here our bet will go a lot smoother. Don't you agree?" Her words ending in a smile as she glanced back at Robin who just kept on smiling as Usopp finally agreed to acknowledging the bet and it's conditions.
