The laughter was spreading across the Red Force. Captains of the Strawhat and Red Hair pirates were celebrating their reunion and crew meet ups.
The dining hall was filled with food prepared under the smooth eye of the head chef of the night, Sanji. Tables were high on the roomors and excited over what next they knew about that little Luffy who they heard and remembered. The head of that fable was Usopp who colorfully said each detail of it, like if he saw it all from the first person.
"Then he knocked Doflamingo flat dead! Oh well, instead of the tyranny of Donquixote he had a mercy to let him live~" A wide smug spread over his face. He was a bit tipsy, that was for sure, since he was the most nervous at first but 8 rounds with Zoro made him open up a little.
A giggle from Luffy drafted his attention as he was going to water his throat with another round of alcohol that was purred to his cup. "You always show me like some sort of a god or hero! You should tell them your adventures!"
"Oh yeah!" Yellped Yasopp in excitement, lobster drunk, at whom Usopp landed his eyes first, his confidence. "I would love to know how my son got such a powerful title of God! It must be marvelous!"
"It was nothing, really… I just shoot down one girl by that releasing tons of slaves, where a most part of, after I got the most beries for the head, tried to kill me… that is really all. Oh but the other, still really big part, decided to follow me, and by that Luffy, as our fleet." he shrugged off, sitting fully down to blend in between his crewmates and commanders of Red Hair fleets.
Yasopp took a tissue and started his father rumble through the sniffs. "My son is a God… So proud! Oh my heart, why such a fool as me has such a great son???"
"Well he can scream like nobody else" Added Zoro. A tear of sweat ran through Usopp's cheek, afraid of the reaction of older pirates. Few people chuckled short, not sure if they won't be scolded later.
"True, when he is scared he can get rid of the part of the living population by only that scratch, amazing voice, maybe better than mine." Continued Brook, sipping his tea with his skeleton smile and humm.
"Oh like when in Arlong Park he screamed Usopp hammer so many times until he was sure that his opponent heard that, we heard that, the whole town heard that and he himself heard that." Nami said, leaving the room with more giggles.
"Well he is pretty childish too when he's put in the range of our even more childish captain. Chopper had to resuscitate him not once because his heart and lungs were failing him out of laughter or out of fear. Probably both at the same time." As Robin spoke the whole room bursted in laughter, outing Usopp. He felt so little right now that he couldn't bear that. When he was ready to leave someone spoke out through the thick noise.
"Like when Yasopp once got scared of a gigantic sea king so much that he was ready to jump to the ocean and swim in the opposite side not realising that his scream already put that beast down!" Room was losing their minds, trying to not choke on their own lungs. Usopp noticed how his dad was sobering in a spite of a second, remaining even the reader out of shame. In shock he tried to find the funny guy who said such a thing in the presence of his child before Lucky continued the masquerade.
"Or when he put down an army of ships to later run away through the whole dock from a piece of one of those ships that he flew without any robe or anything to the crows nest!" Long nosed sniper knew that he shouldn't smile or even laugh but he couldn't hold the snort and a giggle after it. His father straight up found Roux and was ready to choke him to death as Lime Juice was continuing his job.
"Oh yeah, not once he got there that fast. On Halloween we had a competition of who would send him to space and Benn won it, making Yasopp land on the ground with a bird in his embrace!" Luffy was rolling on the ground, not even paying attention to how the sniper was losing his mind, not knowing on whom he should focus to finally stop that party against him. Usopp smiled in pity on that picture, taking his cup to his mouth as someone laid a hand on his shoulder.
"You good kiddo?" A tall figure with grey hair who was sitting next to him this whole time finally spoke to him. He recognised that voice to be the one who refocused that laughter from son to father. Usopp nodded with a soft smile as he finally could take a sip of the alcohol.
"That's good. And don't worry, it's not the first time when he will try to murder us all." Beckman's smile spread with a giggle as Yasopp finally spotted him in a pure fury, holding in his arms the necks of Hongo and Shanks.
The party was going to be one of the greatest in Usopp's life.
