"Great." The fact that keeping a perpetual flow of visitors to his room each night meant he didn't go out and fight monsters on a regular basis had no impact on Usopp's urges to invite people to come see him there, of course. Not that it really kept him safe anyway... in fact, more and more, he was starting to wonder if maybe he wouldn't be safer with the monsters than sitting alone on a treasure trove all night. Even if Zelnick was an honest guy, and Mello thought it was more practical to work alongside Usopp, and even if Yuber or Sai would watch his back...
Maybe that was another appeal to the portable oven project. It wasn't something he'd have to worry about other people stealing and he wouldn't even keep it in his room, just in Sanji's closet. Sanji could be responsible for all of that. That would be great. And when would Chopper come by and get the medical supplies Yuber had found..? Hadn't he told everyone his room? Maybe it had been forgotten or lost in the giant crowd of the meety. He'd seen his crewmates here and there since then, but Sanji's paranoia about Nami was resparking old insecurities again.
The answer to the alcohol from juice question wasn't a surprise, but Usopp still sighed a bit. "We'll probably wind up being best off with diluted medical alcohol as a starting fuel, I think." It was what he'd planned on for the flamethrower, too. "How does that sound to you? If I'm right about something, and at this stage I really better be right, there should be a place where we can get gasoline, but I think that'll be harder to get to than the medical alcohol in the long run. And don't worry! I'll stress myself out over, I mean, I don't stress over anything! The mighty Captain Usopp always has all projects firmly in hand, and anyway, at least if this doesn't work out it probably won't explode and kill me or something." Usopp paused to consider. "... probably."
