Usopp hadn't been sure if Luffy would recognize the gardening term immediately, but it seemed he'd picked up on it fast enough.

Ages ago... during the weeks Luffy had been here before Usopp. Even after all this time, it was still a weird thought. "Did you tell Roy yet? Has Zoro got a place in line for the sword to get made? I know he takes turns doing one every night." That was a reasonable excuse for not offering up all the metal he could find right off the bat. Sort of.

Usopp shrugged over the poor dead spider. "It was pretty weird. I've never seen a spider that big before, the eyes looked really funny at that size. She wasn't a tarantula or anything, though, I don't know what kind of spider she was other than 'big'. I used to know a lot about spiders, but maybe spiders around here are different."

As long as there was potential treasure, he couldn't imagine Nami letting the basement go. Besides, someone had to have gone downstairs by now, maybe the meat grinder was stopped already. Still, "The closet was a lot of fun! We got a bunch of great stuff. Oh! There was a whole little tool set too!"
