Ordinary is Sometimes Extraordinary

Fae Loves Kids, Enter Usopp the Liar

What do you wish for?

I'm going to be a hero, fighting for justice and always doing the right thing. I'll be someone everyone's looks up to!

That's a big goal.

Well I'm going to make it happen!

I don't doubt it Fairy.

Warm gentle, and oddly familiar laughter echoed in the dark, as voices spoke through murky darkness. It was a little girl, and a man their hazy glowing silhouettes illuminating the dark.

I reached out a hand toward the scene, straining to see more, the figures grew brighter and brighter until I could almost see them...

Bonk

"Ow!" Blinding light replaced the murky dark.

"Oops sorry." A sheepish looking navigator leaned over where I slept rubbing the back of her neck, as Luffy's familiar laughter rang in the distance.

I held my hand to my throbbing head. "Ugh what happened?"

Nami laughed guiltily, and I inwardly sighed, I wasn't going to like the answer.

"I was aiming for Luffy." Nami smiled her flirtatious "I can get away with anything smile," and this time I sighed out loud.

"Okay sure whatever." Unclenching my throbbing head, I sat up.

"Oh look an island." My monotone voice made the Navigator flinch. She probably thought I was angry at her, but really I was just too tired to give a shit.

Standing up, I shuffled sleepily, wobbling with the boat towards my bag. Pulling it open I grabbed a tiny blue notebook opening it to a page near the middle.

Plan on how to deal with Kuro

I read, shaking my head and blinking rapidly to shake of the last clutches of sleep. Stretching my back like a cat I let out a groan at the stiffness, I couldn't wait until we got the Merry, I really wanted the extra space and a bed to sleep in.

Turning attention back to the little note book. A night after the island with the man in the treasure chest, I decided to attempt and plan for upcoming dangers. After doing a wing it job with Buggy I felt it necessary for my own safety, and the crew's if I knew exactly what I wanted to do beforehand. Writing was also a very soothing pastime of my mine that took my mind off of present troubles, something I had in spades.

1. Help Kaya with her depression

This was probably not in my realm of abilities, but I at least wanted to spare the nice girl from the shock of betrayal. Maybe I could find a better way to break it to her than waking up to her other butler bleeding out on the floor.

2. Prevent Usopp from getting shot

After my own experience I never wanted anyone else to feel that pain. Realistically with my crew that wasn't going to happen; didn't mean I couldn't try. I was also trying to find a way to have Usopp not be wounded by his town's people's words as well, but it was necessary to the story. Luffy wouldn't help Usopp defend his village if he hadn't demonstrated his own resolve. Worst came to worse I could probably just bribe Luffy to help, but that left the chance open that Luffy wouldn't invite Usopp to join his crew.

3. Make sure we set the ambush up on the right side!

That had been a big issue in the show even if it did allow Usopp to demonstrate his character. It wasn't worth it, and it would allow for less injuries to happen to the crew as a whole if we had organization from the beginning.
