“Ow.”
“Gah.”
“Dammit!”
The sounds of frustration and pain continued to fill the corner of the Men’s Quarters as Usopp rushed to sew together the clothes for his new marionette. Usually he would take his time on a project like this, considering it’s importance, but what with recent Marine attacks Usopp found himself fixing the Merry Go with little free time for anything else. Unfortunately, the sharpshooter had to hurry and finish this little wooden puppet, especially if he wanted to finish it in time for Luffy’s birthday tomorrow.
Usopp wiped the sweat from brow as he heard his stomach rumble. He had skipped dinner in order to work on this and was now starving. Not to mention that his constant sewing, hammering, and carving had begun to blister his fingers. None of this pain mattered, however, as he looked down at the present he had planned to give his captain tomorrow morning.
Smiling up at him was a small near perfect representation of the rubbery pirate, complete with spring enabled joints that fully represented his Devil Fruit powers.
Even in puppet form Luffy’s smile was contagious, and Usopp couldn’t help but smirk to himself as he imagined the look of admiration and glee that would fill Luffy’s face when he held up the wooden replica of himself and thanked his best friend from the bottom of his heart.
So Usopp decided to suck up it up and deal with the torture as he continued to work with a blistered hand and an empty stomach, because he knew that he would be able to deal with all the pain the world threw at him as long as he could see that smile grace the lips of his truly beloved captain.
