'This is Birdless Stickman, transmission to Unlabelled Compass. What 's your status? '

'Do you want to die the next time we see each other, you bastard?! '

'...well, luckily for me-- '

'Kachack! '

Smoker scoffs at the brief exchange, the baby Den Den Mushi going back to sleep as the very infuriated Pirate Hunter hangs up on Usopp. He didn 't even bother giving the status report, which left Usopp at a loss.

'You make a habit of driving your crewmates insane? ' Smoker asks.

'Not always, ' Usopp answers, tucking the walking stick under his arm to adjust his goggles before tapping the transceiver once more. 'Sorry, can you call back please? '

This time the call takes a decidedly long time to be picked up, (Zoro must be pretty mad, huh,) so Usopp sets the Baby Den Den Mushi on his shoulder and sets down his bag.
