Brook clapped his hands together. "So, there is good news and bad news."
"Bad news first," Zoro said.
Robin pulled out a torn paper. "Several of Usopp's wanted posters were pinned up on some of the trees. They made a path to a partially destroyed cabin, with remnants of Usopp's pop greens strewn about."
"That's the bad news?" Chopper asked.
"We couldn't find the person who owned the cabin, and anyone we asked said they thought it'd been abandoned for years." Robin frowned. "Honestly, if it weren't for the posters I'm not sure we would've found the place."
"But we did!" Luffy said, rocking on the balls of his feet. "The good news is Usopp's gonna get his memory back!"
There were exclamations and shouted questions, but the rest quieted down as Brook spoke. "Apparently, this is not a new phenomenon on this island. The villagers said the longest it's taken someone to regain their memories is a few months, and those cases were very rare."
"We can't wait months."
Nami sighed. "Zoro-"
Zoro set his jaw. "I don't mean it like that. For Usopp's own good, we need to jog his memory. And soon."
Sanji scowled. "It's not like anyone said we'd stop searching-"
"No, but there would be no more urgency."
Sanji rolled his eyes. "Oh lighten up mosshead, it's not like his memory's getting any worse."
There was a long silence.
"...Seriously?"
Zoro nodded. "There were times he- it was like he didn't even remember I was present on the ship. Or that I was part of the crew."
"If his memory continues to decline like that, he could- he could forget how to perform basic bodily functions before the time limit's up," Chopper said. "He might forget how to breathe!"
"WHAT?!" Usopp shrieked. "No way! I don't wanna stop breathing, I like breathing! I like living! What kind of horrible curse-"
"We're not waiting," Luffy said, frowning. "Usopp, Sanji said you remember him?" Usopp nodded. "Good. Usopp and Sanji will stay on Sunny. Everyone else, let's find the guy who did this and make them fix it."
"Ah, one more thing," Luffy made a questioning noise to Robin. "I'm still wondering about those wanted posters. There may be marines on this island."
"Ha! Let 'em come, I'll knock 'em flat," Franky said. "Though, why would marines put up wanted posters in a forest? Seems pretty useless."
"Maybe Usopp put them up?" Nami said. "He could've been trying to scare off whoever he was fighting by showing off his bounty."
"Or maybe I was making a breadcrumb trail? But with posters instead of bread." Everyone turned to stare at Usopp. "W-What? I'm just throwing out ideas."
"We'll figure that out later," Zoro said, one foot on the railing. "Right now that cabin guy takes priority."
"But it could be important!"
"If it's a trail, it leads to the cabin. If it's marines, we'll deal with them when we see them."
"Ugh, you and your reckless plans," Usopp said, scowling. "One of these days you're gonna mess yourself up, Zoro."
"Look who's talking."
He bristled, hands balled at his sides. "What was I supposed to do when that hag-?!"
Usopp blinked, then startled at the man by the railing. He put a hand to his bag, where his Kuro Kabuto was hidden. "W-Who are you? How'd you get on this ship?"
The man said nothing. He jumped over the side of the ship and disappeared below. Usopp didn't know him, but it felt like the man was taking his heart with him.
(Nami, about Zoro, to an amnesiac Usopp)
"Oh c'mon, he's a swell guy. When things aren't so hectic he laughs as loud as anyone else." She elbowed his arm. "He'd smile and drink you under the table in no time."
Usopp stared at the imposing, frowning man with the piercing gray eye. "I think he'd put me through the table, actually," he whispered.
The gray eye turned on him. "Not unless you give me a reason to." Usopp did not squeak, but he did find solace in hiding- no, observing- behind Nami's back.
The man sighed, his frown turning softer. Sadder. "I'm not gonna bite."
Not unless you want me to.
The thought was foreign and abrupt, sliding through his mind without hesitation nor full substance. There one moment, gone the next.
Usopp blinked a few times. "...I didn't know that was a possibility," he said, voice slow and dragging. He shook his head a little, bringing his voice back to its usual anxious pep. "How do I know you're not just tricking this poor girl...?" Something didn't feel quite right about that. Like if anyone was to be in charge of trickery and scams it would be this 'Nami' instead of the scary man.
The man shrugged, his shoulders rising and falling far slower than they should. "You don't."
Nami growled. "Hey-"
"What? He's scared shitless, nothing I say is gonna help." The man turned, making to walk off. "I'll help the cook restock the pantry or something." The pantry was restocked earlier that morning. "Yell if you need me."
Wait, Usopp wanted to say. Please stop, you don't deserve to lock yourself away just because I did something stupid. Come back and try again, I'll be better this time- do better this time- just wait-
Like water through a sieve, the thoughts slipped away.
The man left.
"Zoro's really nice," Usopp said. "Stupid, but nice."
Nami gasped, turning to grab Usopp by his shoulders. "Did you remember something? You remember Zoro?"
Usopp blinked. Stared at her close proximity. "Er, what are you talking about? And who's Zoro?"
Nami sighed, slumping against his chest. "No good, huh? Well no worries on that, we've still got Robin's theory that-"
Usopp hardly heard her explanation, his gaze glued to the galley door. Despite the lack of appetite, he found himself craving a snack.

The blond at the sink, that was-
"Sanji?" The man didn't answer, but Usopp was sure he was- "Sanji!"
Sanji grumbled. "Can you wait a fucking minute for me to finish the dishes? I'll get you a damn snack-" Sanji cut himself off and whipped around. "You remember me?"
Usopp nodded. "We have- had something in common." His brows furrowed. "It wasn't something good."
Sanji hummed. "Sick mothers?"
"No- well yes, but there was something else too..." he trailed off, eyes drifting around the galley. The man- swordsman, was sitting on the floor against the kitchen island. His eye was closed. "Is he asleep?" Usopp whispered.
"Probably not, what with how constipated he's been the last little while." Upset. The man was upset about something? Usopp felt the urge to tell one of his funnier stories.
"We both like fish," Sanji added, "and I've eaten some real nasty fucking fish. Last one was probably that time we were all-"
Usopp crouched down in front of the swordsman. Despite his rough exterior, he seemed like a zealous man when it came to his crew. Yet he was also oblivious at times, such as this one. Being all reticent instead of acting on his observant nature, like an idiot.
"You know I love you," Usopp whispered, "so why won't you tell me?"
Zoro's eye snapped open, wide and searching. Usopp startled, falling back on his butt.
"What did you say?" Zoro asked, voice quiet and breathy.
"I-"
Usopp's hand slipped from his cheek.
"When did I...? Oh shit!" The man had his full attention on Usopp, looking oddly hopeful. "Sorry, I-I don't know what happened; one minute I was staring at you and the next-" He scooted back and waved his hands in front of him, before quickly hiding the offending one behind his back. "I messed up, but please don't kill me!"
The man's eye cast downward. "Right."
"I promise it won't happen... again..." Usopp said, slowly trailing off as the man stood. He felt an odd sort of ache in his chest.
"Cook, I'm taking a walk." Don't follow me, don't bring it up unless someone asks.
The ache started to grow.
"You don't..." Don't have to leave. Don't have to avoid me. I'm sorry, I don't mean it- I don't mean any of it. You're hurting and it's my fault and you need to leave to stop hurting so much, but please don't go. I'm sorry I did this. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry-
The door creaked as it swung shut.
"Hey, Sanji?" There was an answering hum. "Is there a reason that guy acts so weird around me?"
"He's in love with you and the brief moments of clarity you seem to have only make it worse." Even I feel bad for him.
Usopp whipped his head up. "He's in love with-?!"
Usopp blinked, stared at the fabric of Sanji's slacks.
"Hey, Sanji?" There was an answering sigh. It sounded tired. "Is there a reason that guy acts so weird around me?"
He felt a pat on his head. "Nothing you need to worry about until your memories come back." You never remember. "Luffy, Robin-chan, and Brook should be back soon. He'll be fine then."
"Oh, okay." Usopp deflated.
"Cheer up, you'll be back to your usual self in no time." Sanji tugged Usopp up and ushered him to the dining table. "How about I fix up that snack I mentioned earlier?"
"Sure, I guess." He drew circles in the tablecloth with his finger, trying to remember what the man's face looked like. "Can you make onigiri?"
In the corner of his vision, Sanji froze. When Usopp looked up at him proper, he was turned away. "Yeah," Sanji said, voice a little fond, a little sad. "Yeah, I can do that."
(Nami, about Zoro, to an amnesiac Usopp)
"Oh c'mon, he's a swell guy. When things aren't so hectic he laughs as loud as anyone else." She elbowed his arm. "He'd smile and drink you under the table in no time."

the original offender (laptop background)
*stares at desktop background for a minute* holy fuck i could do a sanuso witchcraft works au <- wants to redraw soooo many screenshots
for those unaware, imagine a dude who is constantly a damsel in distress, and terrified a lot of the time but still does what he thinks is right. and a girl who is his stoic and staunch protector, very much down to flirt/get physically affectionate, puts the dude's wellbeing above her own, and is a witch who primarily uses fire and bursts into flames (also they were childhood friends but for some reason dude doesn't remember it). also the dude's got his own sorta fire powers and a lot of people are after him, but dw about that :)
