Usopp sighed deeply as he stood at the railing looking out on the deep blue around it, it had gone so quick, and at ones they had all just snapped back as if two years hasn't passed at all, that just went to show how great nakamas they were!
Usopp was back! He was really really back. Heracles had said it was impossible to escape the island, but after nearly two years of training, Usopp had found a way, and funny enough, he had never doubted that he would find that way. He had to, and it was all worth it just for this simple moment back at the sunny where he could hear the noise of all the others behind him… they were all back. It was almost as if the last two years hadn't happened at all… almost.
"By the way Usopp."
Usopp looked to his left where he saw Nami lean up the railing right next to him with a smile on her face.
"The answer is yes." Nami told in a wide smile.
"huh?" Usopp asked in a blink. "Yes to what?" he asked honestly confused.
"You asked me if I would like to have a drink with you." Nami elaborated. "I never got to answer, but now I want to tell you, the answer is yes." She told. "Holding up a second drink towards Usopp."
"OH!" Usopp realised, then his mouth spread in a wide grin. "Of cause, thank you Nami!" he smiled accepting the drink she had brought.
A big crash sounded behind them, and Nami and Usopp turned around to witness Zoro and Sanji fighting, while Chopper ran around yelling that Sanji shouldn't over excert himself, while Luffy and Brook was laughing loudly.
Nami rolled her eyes. "We only been together again for like twenty minutes." She pointed out.
Usopp smiled amused. "Crazy huh?" he asked amused. "That's our crew." He exhaled happily leaning back as he observed. He knew very well the only reason he wasn't in the picture at the moment, was because he had removed himself just in time, or he would have been laughing with Luffy. Nami would have shouted at them and hit them over the head.. Even being removed from the others with Nami was still the same.
This more quiet relaxed attitude was precisely the same.
Nami seemed to notice as well as she shook her head, then turned to Usopp. "Now let me look probably at you!" she proclaimed pulling Usopp a bit forward by pulling in his arm, forcing him to stand up instead of leaning back. Then Nami took a walk around him, having a prober look.. making Usopp feel kind of exposed. He even got a prober slap in the back, and a slight knock on his chest by Namis knuckles.
"Wow." Nami blinked. "Sure looks real."
Usopp frowned confused. "Why on earth wouldn't my body be real?" he asked.
Ones again Nami showed little regard for personal space as she lifted Usopp's arm. "What on earth happened to you these two years? Did you eat nothing but steroids or some-thing?" she asked.
Usopp blushed deeply.. neglecting to tell that he had kind of been living like a rabbit for two years.
"By god Usopp, the boy have gone and become a man!" Nami stated giving Usopp's arm one big slap… that actually sort of hurt. "Who had thought?" she asked. Then grabbed his chin as she held his face firmly in place. "It is you riiiight?" she asked in a dangerous tone. "Not some imposter."
"Na-Nami!" Usopp blushed. "Please, I just.. NOT LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE WHOM GROWN!" he suddenly shouted. "I mean, I am a great warrior of the sea you know, of cause I have to be strong, isn't that obvious."
Nami smiled amused as she let go and stood up. "There he is." She smiled. "There's Usopp."
Annoyed Usopp rubbed his chin as he stood up. "What was that about?" he asked annoyed.
"Well, just didn't want you to forget your roots." Nami shrugged. "Now that you say you graduated from the weakling trio and all of that."
Usopp rolled his eyes. "Don't be an idiot Nami, I saw your trick back at the inn. You have become plenty strong yourself as well." Then he swallowed. "I don't even dare to think how strong Luffy or Zoro is at this point." He shook quietly, making Nami smile a little amused. "I missed you." Usopp at last told. "All of you. I can't believe we are all here." He smiled warmly. "This.. this just makes it all worth it." He told.
"Agreed." Nami nodded, "And I missed you to.. don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed that when I exspect a bratty boy, a full of himself young man shows up instead." She noted with a lifted eye-brow.
"Not the only one whom have grown." Usopp repeated himself. "There's not much tomboy left over you Nami, you look like a woman!"
Nami smiled as she blushed lightly. "Thanks." Then she raised her own glass towards Usopp. "For new adventures?" she asked.
"For new adventures." Usopp smiled as he clinked the glass towards Nami.
