It was dark night when Usopp awoke from his dreams. It seemed to him that a noise on board the Flying Lamb had woken him up. He stared into the darkness and tried intently to see something, but there was nothing. Usopp thought he was wrong and was about to lie down again when he suddenly heard a suppressed scream. From one second to the next he was wide awake. In an instant he jumped out of his hammock and crept up on deck on tiptoe. The cold night wind howled upstairs, bringing tears to his eyes. Usopp quickly began to freeze and wished he had never had the stupid idea of ​​following some noises at this hour of the night only to catch a cold when he suddenly heard this scream again, which made the blood in his veins let freeze. "Oh no, it comes from the girls' room!" He thought. Usopp ran quickly to their cabin and opened the door without knocking first and went inside.When he came into Nami and Robin's gloomy cabin, it robbed him of his view for a short time, but he quickly became aware of a frightening scene. Nami lay on the floor with a pained face and looked at Usopp with incredulous and helpless eyes. "Nami! What's going on here?" Usopp couldn't believe his eyes, what he saw just couldn't be true.
The reason Nami lay motionless on the ground was because she was being held, not by possible intruders, but by ... ROBIN!
She sat there, calm with an icy smile on her face. "Ro ro Robin !? What the hell are you doing? Let go of Nami immediately, otherwise ... otherwise I'll have to be physical! Remember, once I'm really angry, nothing can stop me, not even you with your devil's powers * gulp *! ". Usopp knew that he didn't have the slightest chance against Robin, but he wanted to be brave ... for Nami ... and for himself, because his heart was gradually slipping into his pants. 'What's going on here?'he asked himself,' I don't understand, she belongs to us, we're friends. Why is she doing that? '.
The gunner of the Straw Hat pirate gang was still standing petrified in the door of the cabin. He didn't know how much time had passed since witnessing this bizarre scene. But he knew that something had to be done before Robin would nail him too! Usopp had to warn the others, but how was he going to get down without getting caught? He needed a plan. While he was trying hard to find an escape route, his gaze fell unexpectedly on Robin, who was still leaning comfortably in her folding chair and staring into the darkness. She seemed to be looking around the room aimlessly when their eyes met. Usopp went rigid with shock, because he believed it was his turn now, but it turned out quite differently. The second they looked at each other, Usopp noticed something strange in Robin's blue eyes. Something that gave him hope.She suddenly seemed completely absent. Usopp had no choice but to get out of this unreal situation unharmed, he put everything on one card. He had to find out if the archaeologist had even registered his presence! He gathered up all his courage and walked up to Robin without avoiding her stare. Her steely eyes seemed to want to pierce him, but she did nothing to stop him. So he went on, step by step he approached the alleged girlfriend until he was right in front of her. "I'm sorry, Robin, but I have to do this now". * clap * The whipping sound of a slap in the face cut the silence that had prevailed in the room until now ...
With an anxious heart, Usopp slowly opened his eyes again to see if he was still alive. To his astonishment, nothing actually happened. Robin still sat there as if he had never raised his hand to her. Only a few red marks on her cheek were evidence of his deed.Usopp groaned in relief: "It worked, I can't believe it, so I was right with my theory that Robin must be in a kind of trance! Wow, that's ... * clear his throat * I mean .. . of course I knew it would work, after all I am Captain Usopp the fearless warrior of the seas !! ". He danced happily across the room ...
Still reveling in his victory, he suddenly noticed a thud behind him. For a second he thought it had happened to him and his daring experiment would have failed. But when he slowly turned around, to his relief he saw only Nami, who was still lying on the floor and writhing under Robin's tight grip. But Lysop's relief suddenly gave way to an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach area when he saw Nami's face foaming with anger. During his joyful dance she had tried the whole time to make herself noticeable that he was finally going to free her, but she only twisted herself even more and almost dislocated her arm in the end.Now of course she was pissed off and Usopp wished he had never got up that night, because he knew: nothing could be worse than an angry Nami! He quickly bent down to her and tried to free her from Robin's arms. But it was hopeless, what he did, the only thing he achieved was that her pain and especially her bad mood increased! With great effort he was able to pull a hand from Nami's mouth for a moment and immediately regretted his rash act: "Usopp you stupid idiot! Do you think I'm lying around here for fun !? Well, wait when I'm finally out of here, then. .. ", but luckily his strength failed and he had to let go of Robin's hand, which then landed extremely roughly on Nami's mouth. 'Doesn't she have charming lips ...' he was still thinking when he caught Nami's telling look, which made him forget all romance. "Hey Nami, don't get upset now, take it easy ...".Lysop's gaze flicked nervously around the room, hoping to find something that might be of use to them, but there was nothing. At a loss, he looked at the angry navigator again, whose eyes seemed to say: 'Come on, don't stand around here so stupidly and finally do something before Robin changes his mind!' "OK. All right. Nami, you stay here and don't move! * Get a punishing look * and I'll get the others, they'll somehow get you out of here! Don't worry, see you soon".
With these words Usopp set off. Outside the cold night wind hissed at him again and he paused for a moment to take a deep breath. He tried to understand the whole thing he and Nami had just experienced, but didn't have much time. The danger wasn't over yet, even if he wasn't sure what the threat was from. But something told him that Robin himself wasn't the source of their strange behavior ...
