I do not own One Piece.
I wake up early in the morning, just as the sunrises, like everyday. Heading to the deck, I do my morning exercises and stretches before going into the galley to start on breakfast. Whistling happily, I open the fridge and pull out all of the ingredients needed.
By the time the crew began waking up, I was putting on the finishing touches of breakfast. After my lovely ladies were seated, I began giving everyone their food, noticing briefly that Usopp was missing from the table. But no one really pays any attention to it, it wasn't uncommon for any of the men to skip breakfast on occasion.
After cleaning all of the dishes, and the mess that Luffy always makes, I make my way onto the deck, taking a drag from my cigarette. Leaning against the rail, I look around, once again notice the lacking Usopp. But, considering Franky was also missing from the deck, I figure he is below deck working on some new invention of his or already on the island. I was hoping to be able to convince him to sneak off on the island with me, but if he is busy, I guess it can wait, we still have another day before we set sail.
Finishing off my cigarette, I make my way toward Nami, who was in the process of, once again, warning Luffy, not to do anything stupid. I inform her that I am heading off to the island, after asking if she needed any help with her own shopping. Inhaling deeply from my newly lit cigarette, I make my way into the town, planning on restocking the ship today, so that I have the whole day free tomorrow.
Browsing around for a while, I purchase everything I would need for the ship, as well as some local specialities. I scheduled for them to be delivered in a couple of hours, and make my way down the street to a small diner for lunch. We had agreed to eat lunch in the town, but eat dinner on the ship.
Dinner was served a little later than normal that day, the beautiful ladies were out a little later than usual doing their shopping. Setting the table and taking my seat, I look around at everyone enjoying their food, or trying to stop Luffy from eating it all. I stop suddenly at noticing the empty seat next to Chopper.
"Oi. Has anyone seen Usopp today?" I ask suddenly, causing everyone to stop eating and look around.
"Maybe he lost track of time and is still on the island." Nami suggests, looking slightly worried despite her words. I nod my head slightly and go back to eating. After we all finishing eating, still with no sign of Usopp, we decide to search the island to try and find him. We split into two groups to search, Nami, Robin and Luffy in one, Franky, Chopper and I in the other, Zoro and Brooke volunteering to stay on the Sunny incase he came back while we were all gone.
We search for a few hours, until it gets too dark to search anymore. Defeated we head back to the ship. Going down to the bunk room, I go to my locker and begin to change, wanting to wake up earlier in the morning and continue the search. I close my locker and look over to Usopp's, wondering where he could be. He has a pretty good sense of direction, so he shouldn't be lost...Maybe something happened to him. But it would do no good to go looking for him right now. Letting out a sigh, I kick the lockers in frustration, causing Usopp's to swing open, he must not have closed it well. Walking over to it, I start to close the door before my eyes widen. It was empty...Completely empty. I stare in shock for a few seconds before slamming the door and storming back onto the deck.
I get back on the deck and make my way to the galley, noticing most of the crew, save for Luffy and Zoro, follow me. I start preparing everyone a drink and ask Franky to go get Luffy and the Marimo. After everyone is seated and has a drink in front of them, I sit down and let out a heavy sigh.
"It looks like Usopp isn't missing...He left." I say quietly, my voice full of anger. Everyone looks at me shocked for a few seconds, seemingly trying to process what I was saying.
"What do you mean, he left?" Nami demands, outraged, glaring heatedly at me. If it were any other situation, I would be fawning over how beautiful she looks right now, but this is a bit more serious and we don't really have any time to waste.
"His locker is completely empty. All of his belongings are gone," I reply putting my head in my hands and letting out a jagged sigh.
"Why would he leave though? He loves this crew." Chopper asks, looking close to tears.
"I don't know...We'll just have to ask him when we find him," Luffy answers staring determinedly at the vacant chair Usopp usually sat in. We all nod our heads in agreement, there was no way we won't fins Usopp. He couldn't have gotten very far.
"I say for now we should get some sleep and tomorrow ask the people around the village if they have saw him and go from there." Nami suggests before standing up and making her way to her and Robin's bed room. We all follow her example and head off to bed, determined to get up early and find our sniper.
