Title: Sleep Bam Ball

The Mugiwara crew had docked once again on another island the Grand Line had to offer and they were taking full advantage of it, having diner out for a change. They all set around the table at the bar/restaurant enjoying their meal, talking, and having a fantastic time.

"It's pure genius but of course. The skills of the great Captain Usopp know no limits and therefore this will be the most revered weapon ever!" boasted Usopp to his captive audience of a grand total of one…being only Chopper.

"Sugoi!" beamed the little reindeer with stars in his eyes. "You were really able to make something that cool just from reading up on that medical book I let you barrow on sleep aid components?"

Usopp struck a glorified super hero pose with his hands on his hips and his head held high as he sat straighter in his seat. "But of course! It was most helpful and here is the prototype!" Usopp then held out his hand for the doctor to see.

"Sugoi, Sugoi, Sugoi! You made it invisible too! Wow Usopp you're so amazing!" Chopper was in utter star struck mode now standing on his seat staring at Usopp's empty hand.

"Yes, yes…" Usopp agreed till the words sunk in. "W-what?" Usopp lowered his head to his hand and his eyes bugged out of his head. "Whaaaa! It's gone, Chopper it's gone! Quick help me find it!"

"What are you two making so much noise for?" growled an annoyed Nami looking over having stopped her conversation with Robin during their meal to find out what was going on.

Of course the distress of Nami set off Sanji and he gave them warning glares and a quick, "Don't upset Nami-swan bastards!" and with the cook getting into it all attention then turned to Chopper and Usopp.

Sweating now Usopp waved his hands, "No, no you don't understand. My new invention the Sleep Bam Ball is missing. I worked all week on it and have not even got to test it out yet." whined the long nose man.

Sanji rolled his eyes and lifted a bite of rice to his mouth not even looking at it as he watched the antics of the others and with his eyes elsewhere he never saw the blue marble size ball on his fork there with the rice as he put it in his mouth. He chewed up the mouthful of food and made a sour face. Oh this was just awful yet odd the food had seemed fine just a moment ago but with this bite it was very bitter. Sanji wanted to spit it out but would never be so disrespectful to food, no matter how bad it tasted and thus swallowed the mouthful.

As the others fussed about Sanji started to feel strange. He held his fork tightly in his hand then suddenly the lights went out and Sanji's face fell in his plate of food.

The abrupt action from Sanji caused everyone at the table to pause in silence and thus got the attention of others near by as well. Someone across the bar yelled out, "Oh my god he is dead!"

Luffy blinked and a fear washed over him. Sanji just could not be dead!

Sanji then suddenly jerked up with a start and blinked still in a daze.

"Eh he was sleeping? …Oh no Usopp he must have ate your Sleep Bam Ball!" Chopper cried out.

One of the tavern girls came over and offered Sanji a towel.

"Ah thank you sweet flower of… woops." and the towel dropped to the floor "Allow me!" Sanji eagerly reached down and picked it up hardly able to see with food in his face. Such a waste he could not help but think as he rubbed his face with the towel only to have it jerked away from him by the tavern girl who was now searching at him.

Sanji blinked only now to realize his error having grabbed the woman's skirt by mistake however she was not so forgiving and slapped Sanji across the face and darkness came over him again and his face went back into his food as the tavern girl stormed off.

Brook laughed out however. "Yohohoho, I think I saw her panties!"

Someone then asked from the other side of the barroom, "Did he die again?"

Everyone waited and then Sanji jerked up again blinking and looking around trying to get his bearings.

"Wow Long Nose that new Sleep Bam Ball really packs a punch." Franky commented seeming impressed.

"So amazing Usopp!" cheered on Chopper

Yet Usopp didn't feel so amazing right now as the cook had once again cleaned off his face and figured out who had done this to him.

"Usopp I'm going to kick your ass!" roared out the cook getting to his feet to chase Usopp around the table.

Usopp running around the table for his life called back over his shoulder, "Come on Sanji-kun lets not be hasty now it's not like I meant to use you as a test subject …really!" Usoop then tripped and landed on the floor and cowered covering his face with his arms as Sanji raised a leg. Usopp's life flashed before his eyes and then…nothing.

Usopp peeked through his fingers then lowered his arms down all together seeing Sanji there in mid-kick, foot up in the air as the other was still planted to the floor and his head hung back and he was snoring. He was sleep …again!

Zoro laughed out, "I think I like him better like this."

"Huh Usopp how long does these effects last?" Nami asked with worry.

"Erm a day …maybe a week …possible permit?" squeaked out Usopp.

"If I was you I might start running now long nose-san." Robin suggested

Luffy had stars in his eyes. "Usopp you're the best!" cried out their captain ever so pleased with the turn out of this for Sanji.

Of course the loud noise from their captain jerked the cook awake and as he woke up he finished his kick and this time, it was then Usopp's turn to go to asleep.


A/N: Yeah ... just an odd goofy drabble lol. Might use these effects for later on in other works for this piece hehe … we will see xD
