Chapter Five

The Brave Captain Usopp Nearly Burns Down the Ship

"Good morning, everyone!" said Nami cheerfully the following day. "Who's hungry?"

"Nami, as captain of this ship, I've decided that you shouldn't cook anymore," said Luffy.

"Yeah!" agreed Usopp. "We're not going to eat your cooking since it costs a ridiculous amount of money!"

"Fine, cheapskates," said Nami, not really caring at all, "but you still have to pay for the food yesterday." Everyone groaned. It was bad enough that their cook was sick, but now Nami had added insult to injury. "Right. Who's going to cook today?"

"I will!" said Usopp before Luffy even had a chance to open his mouth. "I'm actually a pretty good cook. I used to hunt and cook ferocious animals back in my childhood to feed my village!"

"Really, Usopp!?" asked Chopper, stars filling his eyes.

"Really!" said Usopp. "They didn't call me 'The Brave Captain Usopp' for nothing!"

"Right, now 'The Brave Captain Usopp' needs to go into the kitchen and make us something good!" said Nami as she pushed Usopp.

"Alright, alright! Stop pushing!" said Usopp as he headed towards the kitchen. Before he went in, Usopp turned around to face the crew and said, "It is an honor for me to cook for you! The Brave Captain Usopp is afraid of nothing! Not even that green and yellow stuff that Luffy splattered on the wall!"

"GET COOKING, YOU IDIOT!" screamed Nami. Usopp winced and went inside the kitchen. He stood there and pondered on what he should cook.

"I know!" said Usopp. "I'll make a delicious turkey feast! Now, let's see if we still have some turkey left over." It never occurred to Usopp why anyone would have a turkey feast for breakfast. Usopp found a whole turkey and put on a tray. He then put the tray on the stove and turned on the heat. "There!" said Usopp. "Now, I'll just have to wait for a minutes to let it heat up." Usopp grabbed a nearby towel, wiped his hands, and threw the towel over his shoulder. He thought that the towel had landed in the sink, but what he did not realize is that the towel landed on the stove.

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be cooking?" asked Nami when she saw Usopp standing outside of the kitchen.

"I am" said Usopp, "I'm just waiting for the turkey to heat up."

"Turkey?"

"I'm making a turkey feast."

"Why would anyone want a turkey feast for breakfast?" Nami asked as she opened the kitchen door. Black smoke came out. Nami started coughing and her eyes watered. Usopp screamed. The stove was completely on fire! "Usopp! Cough! What did you –hack! - do!?"

"I don't know!" cried Usopp. "It wasn't like that when I left!" Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, and Robin ran up to see what was happening.

"What the hell!?" said Zoro.

"Whoa!" said Luffy.

"AUUGHH!" screamed Chopper. "THE SHIP IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE!"

"Usopp, if the fire doesn't kill you, then I will!" yelled Nami. Chopper began running around in circles screaming, "What do we do!? What do we do!? What do we do!?" Robin was the only one who was calm. She stood there, trying to think of a way to put out the fire.

"Luffy, go into the kitchen and fill yourself up with water!" Robin finally said.

"What?" said Luffy, confused at what Robin had just said.

"Just do it! Don't get burned, though!" Luffy went into the kitchen and headed towards the sink. The sink was next to the burning stove. Careful not to get too close to the fire, Luffy turned on the faucet and began drinking the water. He stopped when his body became extremely large.

"Now what?" asked Luffy.

"Twist yourself so that the water will spray out of your mouth and onto the fire!" said Robin.

"Oh! I get it now!" said Luffy, finally understanding. He did exactly what Robin told him to do. In about a minute, the fire was put out. Everyone sighed with relief. The stove, tray, and turkey were now completely black and gave out an unpleasant burnt smell. Usopp picked up the tray and stared at what he thought was going to be a turkey feast. The next minute, Usopp found himself with his back against the wall with a swollen cheek and a bloody nose. Nami stood with a raised fist.

"You dumbass!" yelled Nami as she kicked poor Usopp in the shins. "You almost burnt down the ship! What the hell were you thinking!?" Nami began delivering more punches at Usopp. Zoro had to hold her back in order to prevent her from killing Usopp. Luffy came up to Usopp and grabbed a burnt leg from the turkey. He took a bite out of it.

"You know," said Luffy as he swallowed the burnt flesh of the turkey, "this isn't half bad!"

Sanji had coughing fits the entire morning. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get to sleep because of them. Not even the coughing medicine that Chopper left for him seemed to be working. Another miserable day. Sanji sat up when he detected the smell of something burnt. Did something catch on fire? Just then, Usopp came in. He had his hands behind his back and the smell came from him.

"What –cough! - happened to –cough! - you?" asked Sanji when he noticed that Usopp's cheek was swollen.

"Uh, nothing! Nothing at all!" said Usopp nervously. "Listen, I'm afraid we won't be having breakfast today."

"Why –cough! - not?" Usopp sweated a little.

"You see, Sanji," began Usopp nervously, "I was supposed to be cooking today and, well, uh, the food accidently got…burnt." Usopp then revealed what he was hiding behind his back. It was the tray with the burnt turkey on it. Sanji snatched the tray from Usopp's hands and stared at the black turkey.

"How the hell –cough! - did you manage –cough! - to burn it like this?" Usopp sweated even more. He gulped.

"Well, uh, you see, the stove sort of caught on fire-"

"THE STOVE –COUGH! - CAUGHT ON FIRE!?" screamed Sanji. Usopp jumped back. "You mean to tell me that –cough! - you burned down my stove!?"

"I didn't burn down the stove!" said Usopp, who was sweating so much that a puddle appeared underneath him. "The stove is still there! It's just…uh…all black now."

"GET OUT!" yelled Sanji. "Get the –cough! - hell out of –hack! - here and never –cough, hack! - come back again!" Usopp turned and ran. "And take your –hack! - burnt turkey with you!" Sanji threw the turkey and tray at Usopp. They barely missed his head. Sanji laid back down on the couch and coughed some more. The whole kitchen was being sent to Hell.
