"Thanks!" Usopp immediately put the gloves on, and then went back to work with greater speed, but not without grinning a bit at Sai with his thanks. "I don't think the stories about fishpeople are true, anyway, I met a bunch of them a while back. They were pretty mean, but not... eating people mean. I beat one single-handed, really! Maybe it's just in this world that fish people are like that. She didn't say anything, either, right? Pretty weird."

A piece of metal came off, and he started to put nuts and bolts to the side in a neat-ish pile, the flashlight balanced on the ground to illuminate his work. "I don't want to carry it back, Sai. It's going to be heavy, there were monsters all over outside, and there's a lot of things I want to bring back. Let's try to have it ready for the end of the night, work as fast as we can and try keep a grip on it so it'll come with us... uh, by the way, Sai, are you doing anything with your closet right now?"

Maybe he should post on the bulletin board asking about leasing space.
