Oh. Well. I guess that makes sense. You just kinda have your OWN speaking pattern, so...the other stuff doesn't fit right.

Not THAT bad. ...and not just about George, either.

Um. I'm not really sure. Fujiko said--well. A lot of things, and I'm still not really sure what she MEANS by most of it, but...she said there's a problem so. Maybe she meant that? Or...maybe something completely different. I don't know. My head hurts.

Yeah. I know. I just...wanted to hear you say it, I guess.

...oh. THAT'S what you-- S-sorry.

Mmhm.

I know. Although sometimes you really do assume the worst to a ridiculous degree.

...I was worried that you were going to listen to her. Just - don't. Don't take anything she says seriously. The woman is an idiot at best and insane at worst. She's either trying to make you paranoid, or worse, she actually believes what she's saying.

Well. You can count on me. We're nakama.

Hmm? That's what?

...well. M-maybe. But it actually came in handy once?

But she says that--ugh. I mean. Talking to her makes my head hurt, but what if she really DOES know something I don't?? N-not saying I don't trust George, just...I don't even know what she's trying to SAY, really! Ur. Fujiko. Not George.

...definitely. And I'm glad about it.

No, I just...thought you meant something else and I-- Sorry.

Did it?

She doesn't even know what she thinks she knows. All I can figure is that she assumes George is hiding things from you because she's chronically paranoid.

So am I.

...I did mean something else too. But mostly the part about being able to fight with everyone.

Yeah. Well, sort of.

...okay. You're probably right. The only time she ever made any sense was when she was a little kid. Even THEN she was kinda...

I know I said this once before a while back, but...I'm really glad you'll on this side now. Our side.

...o-oh. Still. That's--you're right, it'll be... Well, not GOOD, but. You know.

How so?

Honestly, I think she might be out of her mind.

So am I.

Mmhm.

There was this ghost girl and she could-- I mean, it was her devil fruit; it kinda incapacitated everyone else, but I was...immune to it, I guess.

...hm.

It's kinda like...an initiation, too, huh?

Immune? How?

Yes, I suppose it is.

Uh. Well...she could do this thing...it wore off after a while, but when it happened at first, it made the others guys pretty useless. It didn't work on me, because. Well, because it was more of a natural state of mind for me, I guess.

We should come up with some new traditions though. Less violent ones.

...It instilled rampant paranoia?

Ha. Perhaps.

...sort of? Well. Negativity in general, I guess.

We could have...Pictionary night or something. That could be fun.

...So it made everyone else so negative that they were incapacitated, and you were still fine. Because you're used to it.

Right.

Well... Basically, yeah; that's about it.

What, you don't like Pictionary?

...That's sort of depressing, Usopp.

I don't know, I've never played. I was just thinking that Michiko would love it.

...you think? S-sorry.

Oh riiight, Michiko.

.........you can have her on your team.

Well, don't apologize. It's just. ...You should have more confidence.

Ha. Pawn her off on me. Of course.

Eh. Easier said than done. Especially--

Especially what?

...especially with all the stuff going on lately.

...

Right.

...Well, I like you.

...thanks, but I dunno if that really...does much good.

Please, I can barely tell that this is supposed to be meat, and I know him.

Heh. Well...maybe Michiko and Luffy should be their own team, then. That's probably most fair, anyway.

Probably the best solution.
