Fortunately, Usopp was awkward enough for two. As he waited in the hallway for Luffy to hopefully show, he added, "I was trying to get out of it, though. I was thinking... I still need a slingshot, but that shouldn't take too long to put together, and then maybe we can go get some stuff. See, there's a room upstairs that I think would be really useful..."

He'd argued with Nami until the end of the shift and failed the chance at asking the Doctor where his room was, although if the man was like Usopp he'd hesitate at posting his room number on the boards anyway. It was like putting up a target, 'Hey people who want free stuff, I've been gathering and building it!' Even with his nakama here to defend him, there was no helping an empty room and no way to lock the doors. He could boobytrap the place, but that risked someone he knew or worse his roommate tripping the trap by accident.
