"How are we going to tell him?"
Zoro, Luffy and Chopper looked at Sanji as they approached the crumpled form of Usopp on the ground. The Franky house was destroyed, the Franky Family done in for now (and if they even tried to come back, the crew would make sure they never tried again), but the money was still missing. Luffy had taken the chance to announce his decision he heartbreaking decision telling everyone that they were finished sailing with Merry. The only ones left unaware of Merry's fate were Usopp and Robin.
They couldn't do anything about telling Robin until she came back, but Usopp had to know now.
Zoro glanced at Luffy as the younger turned back to Sanji. "I'll tell him. I've decided," the rubberman said.
"But he loves that ship," Sanji frowned. "I'm all for telling him the truth, but is there any way we can break it to him easily?"
"We can't butter it up, cook. If we need a new ship, we need a new ship," Zoro said. "We can't baby him."
Sanji flinched, a little uneasy about the swordsman's last statement. He had enough to worry about as it is, so he tried to shake the feeling as he spoke again. "What if he gets upset?"
Luffy continued to walk forward, stopping with Chopper and kneeling to get a better look at their sniper. "I will take care of him whenever he wakes up," he said. "Don't worry, Sanji."
The cook was completely uneasy with the swirl of emotion building in his chest, and he was entirely sold on the cryptic appearance of their captain. Still, he knew Luffy was right; he knew they would be alright in the end, even if his gut feeling told him otherwise.
At least the Franky House had been demolished easily. Sanji was sure their little excursion relieved the anger and stress building up since their arrival in Water 7. And with that in mind, he focused on the task at hand; Getting Usopp back to their ship for what could be considered the last time. If Usopp needed a shoulder to lean on, Sanji would be the first one to offer.
