Be quiet. No, YOU be quiet. No, you--

Title: Oh, shut up.
Topic: Punishment and Reward (as separate, disparate items)
Word Count: 150
Rating: language, inferences
Pairing: not really; does bickering count?
Disclaimer: Characters and setting? Not mine. Probably just as well. Here, have them back.
Summary: "No, mine is."

Excuse: Still feeling entirely too clever, I decided to do something a little more obvious than the last couple of tries, instead...

Notes: Spoilery! Oh, so very spoilery for chapter 435. Not want spoiled? No clicky!

"Shut up, Marimo, it's bigger than yours."

They were at it again, Usopp noted, as the pair wandered closer.

"Excuse me? You've checked recently?"

Usopp wondered what he'd done, that the gods made his shipmates choose here to argue.

"Even still. It's plenty big enough." Sanji leaned his shoulders back, cocked his head just so, and straightened the fingers holding his cigarette, making a victory sign of them as he casually blew smoke.

"It's not even as big as Robin's," Zoro retorted crossly.

"Oh, shu--"

"Wait, wait," Usopp sputtered, breaking in. That wasn't their usual competitive script. "What're we... Robin's is bigger than... What?"

"Her first bounty, Usopp," Sanji supplied, sounding miffed. "What'd you think we were talking about?"

"Uh, never mind," Usopp remarked, and retreated before he heard anything that would really upset him.

Zoro's voice trailed off behind him, "And don't think just because yours is higher..."

*snicker* I like the victory sign :P And yeah, I can sort of imagine them actually having this conversation...

*snrks* They've already done it over dinosaurs once before, it seemed only appropriate somehow. ;)

They are just so tactful while arguing :D. I like how you used a slightly old idea and still made it interesting XD.

Hmm. "Tact" is not a word I usually associate with *either* of those yarou's so, erm. ;) And it was just *begging* to be done, really... ;) Glad you liked the take, though!

....WHY DID I SCROLL BACK UP! I clicked the cut right away (because it's you, like I need to know what it's about before I decide to read it, duh). Read it, and then scrolled back up only to see that it's a SPOILER. SANJI GETS A BOUNTY!?!??!

But waiting patiently for the scanalation instead of looking at the raws and/or translations. For some reason I like torturing myself and I like the full blast of getting hit with both at once. IT HAS TO BE OUT SOON. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S SO LATE THIS WEEK. *pants*

That's, uhm... *swoons* *saves comment and prints out and frames for the wall* *hee*

And, uh, that's *why* I put up the *warning*, duh...! *chuckles* Although I'm quite sure it would've happened sooner or later anyway. And it's a good sort of spoiler, right? I'm surprised the scanlation's not up by now, though, too. :S

GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I actually missed the 1 on Zoros new bounty when I first saw it and freaked out that Zoro's bountry was only highed than Chopper's (toy bounty anyone? XD)... hahah


Lovely idea for the fic, we just KNOW theyr'e gonna be at each other's throat about this.

[bronzetigress.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Woo, now *that* would've been just weird, because that would've *dropped* Zoro's bounty to 1/3 its previous size (instead of doubling it)!!!!! And, yeah, poor Chopper! "Pet", indeed! Have a nice lunch...

Glad you liked!
