Summery: One-shot-series Thoughts of different people on the straw hat crew after Enies Lobby.

I recognise him instantly.

Even though he wears a very weird mask and is named under an alias, the long nose was enough evidence for me.

Though I wish I could see the rest of his face. It would be really refreshing. I still hear his voice telling all this ridicules stories he used to heighten my spirit. They were so much more entertaining than the books I read now. But I need to read these 'boring' books. I'm going to be a Doctor.

I wonder how he feels now that he got his first bounty. And why he is wearing a mask…

Maybe he just doesn't wants to take credit for his deeds. Sure, Pirates are Outlaws but I think Ussop-san and his crew wouldn't declare war on the World Government without a good reason. They aren't like Kurahadol and his Black Cat Pirates had been.

They much stronger and so much nicer than you would believe pirates to be. Otherwise they wouldn't have helped the village.

In the village everyone miss him… The kids still run every morning through the village to remind them of you and your absence. I guess they can't wait to see you again. They to are excited about your fame.

30 000 000 Beri are nothing to joke about. I wonder how much strength you gained. And how often you were wounded on your way… Because from what it seems is your crew lacking a doctor.

I hear Merry working on dinner in the lower floor of the mansion. Have you seen many houses like this and unhappy girls like me? Did you make them laugh like you made me laugh? I hope you soon come back here so I can hear what you experienced on the Grand Line…

Because then you won't tell me lies…

You would tell me true stories from outside the window. Just to make me happy...

Author's note: Sorry for the long delay. School and stuff kept getting in the way (not to mansion the infamous Writer's block). But now I'm back and will finish this story as quick as possible. Thanks for so many reviews!!!!!!
