"I'm full of confidence! I'm crazy with confidence!" Usopp asserted at that comment, stiffening his back. "People used to call me, 'Captain Usopp the Confident!'"
As Yuber turned to leave, Usopp let out a little sigh--not an unhappy sigh, but maybe a touch tired. "I wouldn't tell anybody I thought you wouldn't get along with." Which was a simple enough way to divide persons; Roy was probably not on the list. Luffy liked anyone if they didn't do anything overly rotten to someone else Luffy liked. Sousuke, his roommate? It was just another little thing to lie about; not even lie. Omitting was easier than lying, but it also lacked art. A really good lie had power.
"See you later!" As Yuber left, Usopp hurried back into his room to secret away the blades at the bottom of his closet, under the torn shirts and the "Warning: Poison!!" sign. After that, he headed for Luffy's room, hoping that the other pirate was awake already and just waiting.
