    Summary

    "Say hello, babies," Sora prompted.

    All four sets of big eyes and snotty noses turned to him, quickly rearranging themselves into their name order, hands clasped, and chorused, "HELLO!"

    "Hello to all you, too," Zeff smiled. "My name's Zeff, but it appears your mother wants you all to call me 'Mister Zeff'. You can also call me 'Peg Leg Zeff'." Zeff knocked on the titanium of his prosthetic limb, having noticed all the kids eyeing it, which lead to a fit of wiggly giggles from the little ones. Reiju covered her mouth to hide her laughter, Zeff simply taking it as a victory.

    Sora smiled and said to Zeff, "Want to guess their birth order?" with a sly look.

    "Now how on earth could I EVER make even an educated guess on that?" Zeff dryly responded. It got a chuckle from Sora which got a chuckle from Zeff. For some reason. It was just... nice.

    Summary

    “If you’re going to lie in my body, Sanji-kun, you have to know that I’ll be able to tell.” She finishes her cigarette and finds herself reaching for a second, passing the last one back to Sanji who copies her in lighting it.

    He takes several drags before he talks again. “What does it matter anyway?”

    She shrugs. “It doesn’t.”

    Summary

    Someone had done their research on Usopp. They must’ve done a shit job, because they’d mistaken him as some kind of mutinous assassin and saboteur. Their goal is simple: stop the treaty of an island aligning with the World Government.

    Kill one of the Straw Hats? Sure, would you like some pickles with your order?

    Kidnap the sole ruler of the island and threaten him? Of course! That’s a normal Tuesday for Usopp!

    Steal the treaty and burn it. Easy. Usopp has stolen thousands of important documents in his life.

    These people mean business, and they’ve revealed their hand: they have Kaya, Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi as hostages back in Syrup Village.

    Suddenly, their orders are much harder for Usopp to ignore.

    Summary

    Zoro's not exactly the first person anyone on the Straw Hat crew would turn to for comfort. In fact most times, he'd probably be the last. But every so often, all that awkward, oblivious, blunt force honesty of his is exactly what they need.

    (Or, eight times Zoro was there for his crew, and one time someone was there for him.)
