Okay, at least he hadn't gotten inside by surprise, so that meant... well, something. Usopp was starting to think he should write things down so he could remember to consider them later when his brain was on straight again. If that happens at all.

The idea that they could intimidate someone else was really cheering, since Usopp didn't often find himself in that kind of position, but he wasn't so sure. Mello hadn't seemed intimidated, just kind of bossy and rude. Maybe Sai could tell better, he had been closer. And Sai seemed stronger than Mello.

Maybe I'm stronger too. Or maybe Mello was bluffing and could really lift ships one-handed. But--Sai said he'd take care of it if Mello tried anything. Usopp huffed out a little breath as he thought, or tried to.

"We gotta keep guards now. For the room."
