"N-No! Stop, I'm not a woman!"
Usopp squirmed and tried to crawl away, hoping to escape the grabby hands of Foxy's imprisoned men. Nami had already escaped the room, all according to plan, but Usopp never meant to sacrifice himself for her safety. Stupid hands…
He squeaked, a high pitched noise that nearly hurt his own ears, when a hand gently touched his thigh. These hands were covering his body, trying to touch his skin, about to remove his clothes. Usopp sobbed and started hitting the hands as best as he could. He wasn't able to reach into his satchel, left on the ship, and he had already used the only ketchup stars as he brought. Cursing Nami, he tried to fight against the hands.
There was a noise, something like footsteps behind him. They were covered by the so called "compliments" from Foxy's crew, but Usopp could feel them through the iron. He glanced over his shoulder as a black clad foot crashed down on the hand next to Usopp's head. The man below screamed in pain, ignored by Usopp's savior.
"Usopp, are you alright?"
Sanji stomped on one more hand before pulling Usopp up and dragging him back to the entrance. The door slammed behind them, the tension and fear closed inside.
They were clutching each other as they caught their breath. Sanji faltered as Usopp slumped down to the floor, sliding down the wall to help Usopp sit down. He chuckled when Usopp cuddled closer to him, his hands rubbing circles on his back. "Are you alright?" he repeated. Usopp nodded furiously, making Sanji mumble in relief.
"Thank you for saving me," Usopp whispered. "I thought they were gonna pull me through the bars."
"A bunch of sleazy bastards," Sanji muttered. "Where did Nami go? Wasn't she running with you?"
"She left me behind after getting across!" Usopp pouted. "After all I did to help her run across."
Sanji pat his head, aware that Zoro would be coming around the corner any minute. "You did a good thing. And at least nothing bad happened."
Usopp wanted to protest, but he could hear Zoro approaching fast around the corner and only whined as Sanji started to stand up.
