It was too bad Sanji hadn't been, because Usopp was really hoping that he could get some visual confirmation from somebody who came from his own world and his own level of technology that what he thought was in there, was in there. Or at least something very like it. Those blades had to have been powered by something stronger than just human muscle to be effective, right? That meant an engine. Or something he'd just never encountered before but that someone like Zelnick would consider commonplace. Or something else entirely, something he couldn't even imagine, like the Dials on Skypiea. Alternate universes were a big pain in the butt when it came to planning.

"Well, maybe. Luffy's room is on the same hall as mine, maybe we can meet up with the others sometime tonight, if we don't all get eaten, and talk about plans?" Usopp suggested, the idea of being eaten thrown out pretty casually as a worst-case scenario. "There was a guy who wanted to come with me to raid the shed, but I'll probably want to try for it more than once if this works out, and if the way isn't too messy, maybe we could have a first run at it and at least know if it's worth the time." It wasn't a very clear plan, but at least the shed wasn't too out of the way, and didn't involve going anywhere near the Sun Room. "If nothing else, you can drop by and try on my shoes."
