As the octopus balloon lowered the Going Merry to the blue sea, Usopp decided he wanted to take a nap.
The events of the past few days had been draining in many aspects. He was battered and bruised physically, drained mentally. And emotionally, Usopp was ready to break down. Most of his time was spent passed out after Enel zapped him, but during his conscience moments, Usopp worried about everything, especially the well being of himself and the crew.
There were many times Usopp thought his friends were dead. He spent most of the time with Sanji, who had sacrificed himself and suffered Enel's powers twice to defend someone, mainly Nami and Usopp. He could blame it on Sanji's obsession with women, but part of him knew Sanji stepped in to protect him too. Especially when the cook kicked Usopp towards Nami and the waiver on the arc.
It was terrifying when Usopp couldn't hear Sanji's heartbeat after the first attack from Enel. It was heartbreaking to leave him alone on that arc, even if he sacrificed himself. It was something Usopp thought impossible when he turned back and rescued him. When they reunited with the crew, everyone watched and waited for the end.
When everything was over, Luffy defeating Enel and ringing the golden bell, they all celebrated. At one point, Sanji stole Usopp away from the crowd and danced with him. It was similar to the way they'd been dancing with everyone else, but it still meant something different to them, something more.
As Usopp crawled into his hammock and started to fall asleep, he let his mind wander back to Sanji. He was alive, they were all alive, and things were back to normal (as normal as things could be at least). Usopp smiled, sleep taking over his weary mind.
