Luffy and Chopper sat with their fishing poles in hand as they watched the ocean waves flow against the side of the Sunny Go. They sighed sadly as the rest of the crew was silent. Franky was sitting on a chair, drinking a soda, while Brook cleaned his instruments carefully. Zoro was lifting his weights while Sanji cooked another meal, without really thinking of what he was creating. Robin was reading her fifth book of the day as Nami sat on the railing and swung her feet quietly. She was staring off into the distance as she wondered what was wrong with Usopp. The crew had only seen him in the morning when he made his way to his workshop below deck. Chopper and Luffy rushed over to him, wanting him to fish with them but Usopp just kept walking away with his hands in his pockets.

Luffy walked over to him and asked, "Oi, Usopp! Don't you want to--?" but Usopp walked by him and Chopper without giving looking at them.

"Sorry guys. I don't want to do anything right now. I just want to be left alone." Usopp walked over to the entrance to the lower deck and shut the door behind him, leaving Chopper and Luffy alone on deck. After that, no one had heard from Usopp and the door to his room was locked. Luffy and Chopper were depressed as they waited for a fish to bite the line of their fishing poles, but the fish would not come. Suddenly Luffy jumped down from the rail and sat on the ground. Chopper looked at him with surprise as he started to make his way to the door down to Usopp's room.

"Luffy! What are you doing?" Chopper asked as Luffy turned around with a serious face.

"I'm going to go talk to Usopp." Chopper turned around with worry as the other crewmembers felt the same way.

"Luffy…" Chopper sighed, "You shouldn't bother Usopp. He said he wanted to be left alone." The other crewmembers agreed as they all came toward the deck. Zoro wiped the sweat from his forehead as he leaned over the railing above and Sanji exited the kitchen.

"Yeah, I agree Luffy." Sanji said calmly. "He seemed out of sorts since this morning, so you might as well just leave him be."

"It's not like Usopp to do something like this Luffy." Nami explained, "So he must have a good reason. Don't bother him."

"Well, if he does have a good reason, I want to know." Luffy said calmly before turning back to the door before pulling it open.

"Luffy!" Nami exclaimed but it was too late. Luffy walked in and closed the door behind him as he made his way down to Usopp's workshop.
