Random Ramblings

I have very normal thoughts about this scene, aside from the fact that I can't stop thinking about it and how it re-frames Luffy and Usopp's future conflict in Water 7

Thinking of Usopp fresh-off being kicked out of the crew, about how in Little Garden he felt alone surrounded by deadly assassins on a stranger Island where he doesn't know where his crew is, but now he's in a peaceful city and his crew are right there and yet he's still alone...

Do you think he remembered how even terrified out of his mind and needing someone to tell him it's going to be okay and yet he did that for Luffy and tried his best to comfort him and lift him up yet when he needed it again Luffy wasn't there and it wasn't because of the paint? Of how he might think Luffy may have not been as close to him as he thought? Of how he told Luffy "You never give up!" yet from his prespective Luffy gave up on the Merry? On him?

And Luffy, terrified and trapped in his own mind forced to sink into despair and still Usopp believed in him and never doubted him and now when it came time for him to return the favor he couldn't and there was no magical hypnosis involved this time? Of how Usopp compared them to Shanks and Yassop and yet Luffy shattered that image for both of them?

Do you think he remembers Usopp leaving him promising to be back and how he apologized after Usopp was long gone, and of how the tables turned and he left Usopp for good and yet the apology was still left unheard..

Me: Ehhh, I'm not going to get actually invested so spoilers shouldn't be a problem.

*Gets completely and irreversibly hooked to thing after spoiling it all for myself*

Get you a man who can do both.
