    Summary

    “Yep!” Usopp says, before he can consider the wisdom of lying to a witch or fairie or whatever supernatural creature takes the shape of a frowning boy with yellow oven mitts. “I’m a... a prince, actually.” He cringes, but it’s too late to call back the flustered words, so he has no choice but to commit to the story. “I’m on a mission to greet all my loyal subjects. And, um, collect taxes.” He points at the plate. “One loaf of bread should cover it, for now.”

    The boy laughs: a startled sort of sound, like he wasn’t expecting something so loud to come from his own body.

    “You’re not a prince,” he says, and Usopp’s face flames, “but I’ll give you the bread.”

    While foraging for food, a starving boy stumbles across a lonely prince in an abandoned watchtower.

    Summary

    Usopp isn’t a poor kid anymore, scraping together a living off charity and odd jobs at the wharf and darning the same pair of overalls for the tenth time so he could visit Kaya without holes in his knees. He knows that. He reminds himself of that every damn day.

    It’s just, sometimes, Sanji tells him to stack the plates a certain way or reminds him that salad forks exist and Usopp sees a flash of Kaya’s gold-rimmed teacups and immaculate dinner trays and he remembers how impossible it all is. It doesn’t matter if Usopp is a man or a woman: he was never going to be the kind of person that the pretty blonde with the perfect manners falls in love with.

    ---

    Sanji gives Usopp a lesson on fine dining etiquette. It would probably be easier to follow if Usopp’s insecurities didn’t keep interrupting so loudly.

    Summary

    Sanji and Zoro negotiate daemon-touching, personal space, and kitchen privileges for tigers. The process would be a lot easier if either one could articulate what they actually want.

    It would also be easier if they were speaking to each other.

    Or: Communication is always difficult, especially when daemons are involved. Sanji and Zoro keep falling into the same traps, but sometimes you have to learn a lesson twice to get to the heart of the matter.

    Summary

    “But Dadan, it’s Fish Day!” Luffy protests, scrambling to get up. He can hear Sabo’s breath whoosh out of his mouth as Luffy’s knee digs into his stomach, and he has to dodge a rubbery elbow to the face as he sits up, grabbing Luffy around the waist with one arm and covering his face with his free hand. It doesn’t stop him moving entirely, but it at least slows him down.

    “Luffy,” Ace deadpans, hand still over his mouth. “What the hell is ‘Fish Day?’”

    Foosha has some sort of festival going on, and Luffy is dead set on his brothers accompanying him.

    It's probably the best thing they could have done.
