Usopp's eyes widened in terror as he stumbled onto the deck, his voice trembling as he tried to take in the sight before him. “L... L... Lu... Luffy! Y/N! Zoro!” His voice cracked, his body frozen with fear as his gaze darted over his crewmates. Blood trickled from their cuts, staining their clothes.

“WHAT'S WITH THOSE WOUNDS!? WHAT HAPPENED!?” Usopp shouted, his voice rising in panic as he ran toward them. His hands hovered uselessly over their injuries, unsure where to start.

Sanji bolted onto the deck, his eyes immediately scanning the group. “NAMI! IS NAMI ALRIGHT?!” His voice was sharp, urgent, but when his gaze landed on her, standing untouched with a furious scowl, he exhaled a small breath of relief.

“I’m fine,” Nami snapped, her voice clipped, but her eyes betrayed her concern as she crossed her arms and glared at the injured trio.

“AGHHHHH! D... D... DOCTOR!” Chopper’s panicked voice joined the chaos as he rushed forward, only to freeze mid-step.

“THAT’S YOU, IDIOT!” Usopp barked, smacking the little reindeer over the head, snapping him back to reality.

Later, as the chaos settled and the wounds were patched, the group gathered around the deck under the fading light of the setting sun. The tension was still thick, and Usopp couldn’t hold his curiosity any longer.

"So? What kind of freaky monster did you get into a fight with this time?" Usopp asked, his tone a mix of curiosity and frustration as he perched on a barrel, arms crossed.

Luffy chuckled, the sound light but strained. "Some pirate. It’s fine. It’s over and done with," he said with his usual carefree grin, though it faltered slightly as he shifted to lean more comfortably against the mast.

"Yeah, no big deal," Y/N added, his voice calm but laced with exhaustion. He stretched his arms, wincing slightly before settling back against the railing. "Just another idiot."

"It might be ‘done and over with’ for you guys," Nami interrupted, her voice icy and sharp as she turned to face them. Her fists clenched tightly at her sides, and her eyes burned with fury. "But my temper is FAR from over!"

The trio barely had time to react before Nami stormed closer, her voice rising to a roar. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? IF YOU CALL YOURSELVES MEN, YOU SHOULD UNLEASH SOME WHOOP-ASS WHEN JERKS COME ASKING FOR IT! ACTUALLY, YOU SHOULD JUST FLATTEN THIS ENTIRE GODDAMN TOWN WHILE YOU’RE AT IT!"

"Wait, weren’t you the one who told us not to cause trouble?" Zoro asked, his brow furrowed, his voice slow and deliberate.

"THE PAST IS THE PAST FOR A REASON!" Nami’s voice cracked like a whip, making Zoro flinch slightly. "DON’T DRAG IT INTO THE PRESENT, OR I’LL MAKE YOU PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO BRING IT UP!"

Zoro swallowed hard, muttering something under his breath as he shifted away from her glare.

"Why is the only uninjured one the angriest?" Usopp whispered, leaning closer to Y/N, who shrugged lazily.

"Dunno," Y/N replied, his voice deliberately nonchalant, though his lips twitched in amusement.

"By the way, did you guys ask around about Sky Island?" Chopper’s eager voice cut through the tension, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Sky Island?!" Nami spun toward him, her fury redirected, and Chopper shrank back instantly, tears welling in his eyes.

"I’ve HAD IT with that subject!" she shouted, her voice rising in frustration. "I mentioned Sky Island once, and the whole bar exploded in laughter... DID I REALLY SAY SOMETHING THAT FUNNY?!"
