Chopper stormed out of the caboose. "Oi, minna! Usopp is awake!" He shouted loudly while crying in relief.
"Really? Great!" Luffy cheered.
"That's a relief." Nami sighed.
Juli bit on her lip, being the only one to feel the tense air. 'Something is going to go down... I can sense it. Usopp's feelings are not good at the moment. He has too much self-reproaches. He will not accept the truth about Merry...'
Juli followed slowly after the others, who ran to Usopp.
"Jeez, you really had us worried." Nami said in relief and annoyance.
"Damn right. You could have gotten yourself killed charging in alone like that." Sanji sighed. "We're just glad you made it out alive."
"Think things through the next time before you act." Zoro said harshly.
"You're not one to talk!" Sanji shouted at him annoyed.
"Shishishishi." Luffy just laughed cheerfully.
"I'm being nothing but a burden. I'm sorry." Usopp began to cry.
"That's not true, Usopp. You're one of our nakama, not a burden." Juli looked at him softly.
"But I-I truly am. I'm so ashamed minna!" Usopp cried heavily, ran towards Juli and hugged her tightly.
"There, there." Juli patted his head soothingly as Usopp pressed his face into her breasts while sobbing.
"Calm down, Usopp." Zoro's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
"But we had so much money..." Usopp cried out.
"Usopp, you should be in bed!" Chopper shouted in worry.
A few moments later...
"So then...there's no way to get the money back?" Usopp asked depressed, as he now sat on the bed.
"Well we won't know until this Franky guy gets back. Well even if the money is gone we still have enough left. Don't worry! Shishishishi." Luffy laughed cheerfully.
Usopp's eyes were shadowed over.
"Money is something you should always worry about!" Nami screeched at Luffy annoyed. But then she realized it. "Oh, sorry..."
"It's okay...But Luffy, what about Merry?" Usopp looked at him. "Is a hundred million enough to fix her?"
Nami clenched her fists sadly. Juli bit on her lip. 'Lu, please try to say it in the right way. But I think he will not accept the truth no matter what we say. It's really a difficult situation...'
"Well, the thing is... About the ship, I've decided to get a new one. I'm sorry about deciding that when you weren't around. But Ice-Ossan gave me this catalog full of new ships, so we can get a new, big one maybe."
Usopp looked at him totally shocked and angry.
Juli sighed fondly. 'That was definitely not the right way, Lu.'
Nami looked sadly away and Chopper got tears in his eyes.
"Wait, wait. That's a pretty tasteless joke, not to mention ridiculous." Usopp shouted at them, but they all just looked at him seriously. "Hey, look! Chopper really think it's real..."
"I'm sorry Usopp, but this isn't a joke..." Juli looked at him softly and sadly.
"What? You mean we can't afford the repair?! It's my fault, right?!" Usopp jumped up angrily.
