"Where is she?! Fuckin' let- let GO!" Usopp yelled angrily, fighting to get through a crowd of people and his own friends.
"Usopp no! It's dangerous out there and you know it!" Zoro growled, holding him back and finally throwing him backwards through the crowd where he stumbled to a stop, breathing heavily with anger, and concern.
"I don't care how dangerous it is she's out there ALONE. God knows if and when she'll find us up here, and whether or not she's even alive! We're all fighters Zoro, but alone, some of us are just as much fucked as any other person when the circumstances are such." Usopp argued, looking Zoro in the eyes heavily.
"Which is why you have to stay up here where everyone DOESN'T want to kill you. You're heavily injured for chirst's sake!" Zoro continued.
"And so is she most likely!" Usopp argued further, clearly on the verge of tears.
"Usopp... I know you're worried, but don't underestimate _______." Zoro said, final warming his tone a bit. "Just stay where it's safe and hope for the best. I'm sure she'll pull through all right. I promise you."
Usopp sat down on the ground in defeat, hiccupping a couple times as some tears free fell to the grass. "I just don't want her to be dead. She's a three star out there in this battle." He whimpered.
"I know. She'll come back alive I'm sure. You know her skill." Zoro reassured. "Believe in her. Now I have to go help Viola with a few things. Just stay confident Usopp. I know how you feel about her."
Usopp nodded, defeated by his role to stay up here as he pulled himself up off the ground and walked over to the single tower up on this plateau to lean against in wait for you, praying that you weren't as seriously injured as the rest of them, or worse: dead.
He stood there for minutes upon minutes, tapping his foot as the hour mark from his time of worry passed by. Usopp was beginning to get anxious, and wanted to know where you were now. He almost asked Viola to use her clairvoyance to spot you, but remembered that her focusing on the task at hand was slightly more important that his personal desires. Legs going numb, he began to pace back and forth, arms crossed as he shook slightly with the constant thought of if you were okay. Zoro and some of the others began to notice this, and almost thought he was going mad.
"Is Usopp-dono going to be alright?" Kin'emon asked, watching his pacing form go back and forth, almost burning a little rut in the ground where he was.
"Nope. He's worried about _______. We don't know where she is, or if she's even alive. But we can't do anything now. Just hoping that she finished her task and that she'll come to the King's Plateau as requested in time." Zoro elaborated.
"Ah, I see. Usopp is in love with her right?" Kin'emon spoke up bluntly on the subject.
"Yeah, she's the one he's fond of. She is of him too, but thanks to this recent bullshit they really haven't had a chance to have some time alone to speak of it. I almost feel bad for them." Zoro mumbled, feeling sympathy for Usopp. "God I hope she's not dead. She was really vital to our crew... and to his sanity too."
"Oi Zoro-dono... What colour was her hair again...?" Kin'emon asked curiously without reason.
"(h/c). Why do you ask?" Zoro answered.
"Look at the person climbing up the side of the plateau over there." He said, pointing at the edge.
When Zoro turned to look, it was you, _______, climbing over the edge with a beat up, tattered, yet happy appearance as you hoisted yourself over the edge and flashed him a thumbs up. Zoro breathed out a long sigh of relief and smiles, seeing that you were indeed alive.
