The more people he met who had similar skills in the area of chemicals and explosives, the worse he felt. It was hard enough to put words to his nerves over being discovered when he was fully himself. And being discovered as what? It wasn't as though he were lying. Or he wasn't lying about that. But it seemed as though everyone was expecting so much of him and he knew he could make gunpowder in his sleep but people from the future or from other worlds probably knew all kinds of better stuff to make. Why had he wound up with the closet full of goodies and the people bringing him new things? Why had he been the one with the treasure?
They're expecting you to participate, it's your call too, isn't it? He wasn't sure. Was it? Sai had addressed him earlier, asked him directly.
"We have a lot of people who can work with explosives. We're not..." But he shouldn't turn the man away either if Sai wanted--what did Sai want? Usopp couldn't concentrate. Were they playing good cop bad cop? He made a really awful bad cop if they were, he couldn't do that role, Sai had to know that, he wasn't ready for anything subtle or... "We might work with you if you're good. And bring stuff too."
The more people bring you stuff the guiltier you feel, why are you asking for more stuff?! "But not bleach. Or eggs. We have those." Then he put his hand over his mouth in case his brain started wanting to go off on other things they had.
