"You raised your price again!" Nami complained, she was wearing a green t-shirt and a short black skirt, "That's a little steep, don't you think?" Nami looked agitated as she held up her recently purchased newspaper in one hand and a few coins to pay for it in the other.
"Caw!" answered the seagull that had delivered the paper. It was wearing a white delivery cap and had a red bag labeled 'News Papers' to carry the newspapers and money.
"Raise your price again and I'll stop paying!" Nami threatened as she reluctantly handed over the money.
"Caw!" said the seagull as it saluted and then flew off. "CAW! CAAAAW!"
"What's the big deal? It's just one newspaper," Usopp pointed out, he was wearing his usual brown overalls, white sash, and green bandana.
"Just one paper?" Nami repeated, "I buy these every day."
"Yeah, but there's no need to save all your money anymore," Usopp reminded her.
"Don't be stupid," said Nami, "Now that Arlong's gone I can save money for me now."
"I guess that's why you're making me pay for your daily newspaper then," Y/N commented as he walked over. It had only been a couple of days since leaving Commi Island and Y/N was still covered in bandages but he was finally wearing his black steel soled boots again. The bandages on his legs could be seen between the bottom of the black shorts and the top of the black boots. His white button down shirt was opened revealing the bandages on his chest and stomach. He'd reduced the padding on his injured right shoulder which was healing nicely and was now only bandaged like the rest of his body.
"Hey, you're the First Mate," Nami stated, "that makes you the crew's financial manager. Why should I waste my money when paying for stuff is your job?"
Y/N's eye twitched while Nami stuck her tongue out at him. The navigator seemed quite pleased that she could now save money to buy whatever she wanted while the First Mate was responsible for paying for the essentials.
"Besides," Nami continued, "a newspaper only costs you a few berries a day. Its not that expensive and it's a worthwhile investment."
"Whatever," said Y/N, "would you mind letting me see that when you're done? I wanna check for new Wanted Posters, it always pays to know who you're up against."
"Yeah sure, when I'm done," Nami agreed as she sat down on a lounge chair, unfolded her paper and began to read.
Y/N walked over to Usopp and peered over his shoulder, the marksman was sitting on the deck working on... something.
"What've you got there Usopp?" asked Y/N, causing Usopp to jump due to the First Mate's sudden presence behind him.
"Geez, don't scare me like that!" Usopp complained, "I'm in the middle of developing my Special Tabasco Star." Usopp collected his nerves and held a small red ball up in front of him with one hand while he carefully held a bottle of Tabasco sauce up above it. "An eye-full of this will make any bad guy suffer in pain."
THWAK! "Hands off!" came a shout. Luffy, who was wearing his usual red vest, blue shorts, straw hat, and sandals, was kicked hard and came flying over to Usopp and slammed into him, KRASH! The sudden contact shook Usopp's hands and he accidentally spilled the incredibly hot Tabasco sauce in his eyes, splish!
FWOOOSSSH! Y/N jumped back as comedic flames suddenly shot out of Usopp's eyes, "WAAAAAAAHHHH!" Usopp cried out in pain.
Y/N stood still and struggled to keep a straight face as Usopp ran frantically around the deck yelping in pain as he attempted to get the Tabasco Sauce out of his eyes. "OWWW! OWWW! OWW!"
