"Nice of you to join us this time around." Usopp commented to Chopper.
"Huh?" Chopper looked up at Usopp.
Usopp, Nami and Chopper.. had all become trapped, in a freaky mansion, on a Zombie island, with the scary Doctor Hogback some-where in the castle.
Right now they were sitting in the big bedroom that Nami was meant to sleep in doing the night, trying to get a hold on what to do next.
"What I mean is, most often it's me and Nami being stuck together some-where really dangerous. Like in little Garden, or Skypia or some-where. And now we are on a Zombie island, far away from the rest of the crew, and of cause it's us three out here!" he proclaimed.
"Well, there was the one time in Alabasta when it was just you and me." Chopper pointed out.
"Why don't I ever get stuck with Luffy or Robin or some-one like that?" Usopp asked.
"Luffy always end up fighting the strongest person on the entire island, so you might want to reconsider that." Nami pointed out, making Usopp shake at ones and almost falling down fainting from fright.
"Why not Zoro or Sanji?" Chopper then asked.
"When I was stuck on Zoro I swear he wanted to kill me, and Sanji would be happy to sacrifice me to safe Nami." Usopp muttered deeply leaning his head in his hand.
"Who do you even want to be teamed up with!?" Nami asked annoyed.
"All I'm saying, would be nice to have just one of them with us!" Usopp pointed out. "But ones again, it's us out here. And I am just asking, why is it always us?" he asked.
At last Nami sighed as she fell back in the chair she was sitting in. "Yeah right." She mumbled. "But I guess we really have gotten out of far worse together before." She pointed out.
Chopper nodded. "We actually have." He pointed out.
"Except in those situations we would have eventual back-up!" Usopp pointed out, and all three of them ended up sighing deeply and simultaneously.
"Usopp.. would you do me a favour, and just stop being so negative." Nami muttered annoyed "It's getting me down now." She told. "I swear it has gotten a lot worse on your part since Enies Lobby!"
"Erh.. hehe.." Usopp blushed.
"Isn't it right Chopper?" Nami asked. "Usopp has acted different since then?" she asked.
"Well now you point it out.. I guess he is acting a little different." Chopper slowly admitted. "Are you okay Usopp?" he asked innocently.
"What!? Of cause I am okay!" Usopp proclaimed as he stood up. "What reason do I have to be scared huh? I am the great Captain Usopp of cause, all I need to do is call and eight thousand men will come."
"OHHHH!" Chopper yelled as his eyes blinked. "I guess you are fine then, sorry sorry."
Nami sighed deeply. Well, Chopper was with them, which always made Usopp act up, he really liked to play hero in front of the reindeer.. maybe Chopper reminded him of his old crew whom would actually look up to him?
But Nami also recognised that Usopp had just gone straight into his hide-out as he started lying like that, he had put his mask firmly in place, and it would take some serious poking around to make him drop it.
Which Nami just didn't have the energy to right now.
"Hey you two." Nami stated as she stood up. "I'm going to take a bath, but I don't trust this creepy mansion." She told as she shivered lightly. "I'll need you two to keep watch!" she exclaimed.
"Uhh, are all three of us going to take a bath together?" Chopper asked excited.
"OF CAUSE NOT!" Nami shouted, forgetting how innocent Chopper could be that he didn't even consider Usopp's presence in that sentence. "Just.. keep Usopp company on the other side of the bath door, please." She asked more quietly.
"Okay." Chopper smiled, completely oblivious to what had just happened.
Nami sighed deeply. "Just promise me we are going to stick together in this creepy place, if we do that we'll probably come out fine."
"Oh sure!" Chopper grinned.
Usopp shook his head. "Yeah we'll be fine, we'll look out for you Nami." He told. "Promise."
"And no peeking!" Nami demanded.
"Hey, who do you think I am!?" Usopp asked. "I am not Sanji you know!" he proclaimed.
"I know you Usopp! I know you like to look after girls! Neither are you Luffy." Nami pointed out.
"So I am not blind to a good looking girl walking by?" Usopp asked. "Oh come on Nami! When have I ever tried to peek into your bathroom?"
"In Alabasta!" Nami pointed out.
"THAT WAS DIFFERENT!" Usopp shouted… though it would be very.. very hard to explain how exactly.
