I do not own One Piece.
The boy, Usopp, had fallen unconscious sometime on the way to Sunny. Careful not to aggravate his wounds, Zoro carefully hands him over to Chopper, who rushes to the infirmary to treat his wounds. Zoro joins the rest of the crew, preparing to find a place to hide, at least long enough for Franky to go out and the supplies they needed. The guy Luffy knocked out would probably be waking soon and telling the entire town what had happened, so they didn't want to risk a mob attacking them. Sailing around they island, the find a small cove just big enough for Sunny to dock in. After having everyone make a list of things they needed, and repeatedly telling Luffy that he cannot leave the ship, Franky sets off to pick everything up.
Blinking my eyes open, I look around in confusion, I wasn't in any room that I recognized and I thought I knew all of Master's rooms. Shifting around, I realize with a shock that I am in a comfortable bed. Jumping out, I quickly re-make the bed, hoping no one had seen me in it. Slipping on my boots, I slowly make my way to the door, opening it I find myself on the deck of a ship. Hesitantly walking out, I suddenly remember everything that had happened. Some guy had beat up Master and said he was 'stealing' me. This must be his ship, but…is he my new master? Or will Master be coming back for me? Decided that it didn't really matter, I would act the same around them regardless, wanting to be punished the least amount as possible. Heaving a sigh, I slowly make my way towards the group of people sitting in a circle on the deck. I stop a few feet away, not sure what I am supposed to do, and just stare at the ground fidgeting nervously.
"Usopp! You're awake," the one that hit Master yelled jumping to his feet. I tense slightly, expecting to be punished for sleeping for so long and not doing my duties, but instead, he just walks beside me, putting an arm around my shoulders and dragging me over to the group and sitting me down next to the green haired man that carried me here. "This is Usopp." he tells them all happily. "Usopp, this is Nami, Brook, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Robin. You'll meet Franky later, he went into town." my new Master introduces, well I guess they would be considered my masters as well, they obviously aren't slaves. Bowing deeply to each, I sit back, not saying a word or looking anyone in the eye.
"How are your wounds feeling, Usopp?" the small reindeer like creature asked softly.
"They feel fine, sir. Thank you," I reply, lowering my head slightly. He nods his head, saying that he would like to check the wounds again later and everyone goes back to their card game.
I sit there silently, my head bowed, waiting for someone to give me an order, with Master, I never had a chance to sit down or anything, he had me working continuously throughout the day. But these people haven't told me to do anything, they don't have me cleaning, or cooking or anything. Do they expect me to just know what to do? Or is there just nothing to be done right now? Wringing my hands together, I decide that I should just sit still, my new Master did sit me here and hasn't told me to move.
I listen intently to the conversations they are having, just in one of them suddenly orders me to do something. But no one says anything of the sort. A few hours later, a huge, blue haired guy comes back to the ship, pulling a huge cart full of different things. He yells for some help, causing me to instantly stand up and walk off the ship, but I am surprised to find all of the other men following to help. I quickly begin carrying stuff up on the ship, being directed by the orange haired woman on where to put everything.
After everything is packed onto the ship, we all re-board and set sail. I stare nervously at the island that is getting farther and farther away. I keep expecting Master, my old master I remind myself, to pop up out of nowhere and punish me for leaving. As the island gets out of sight, I feel myself relax slightly, turning back to face the rest of the ship. I am slightly startled to find my new master standing right behind, but I quickly come to my senses and shift my gaze away.
"Hey Usopp. Sanji just finished dinner. Come and eat," he says cheerfully, grabbing a hold of my arm. I stare off to the side wide-eyed as I am dragged into what appears to be the dinning room. He sits me in a chair and the blonde sets a plate in front of me. It is smaller than everyone else's, but that was okay I was used to not getting much and this would make my second meal today anyway. I happily dig into the food, once everyone else had already started eating, nearly moaning aloud, I never tasted anything half as good.
