( The hug almost knocks the wind out of Luffy and he's loving every second of it, returning the motion just as tightly as much as he can from his position on the ground. There had been a real moment of thinking the crew weren't in this place, that somehow only he'd been caught up in the madness, and despite the straw hats being a relatively new team, the thought had been strangely unfathomable. The relief is palpable.

Unaware that he's just scuppered a plan, Luffy can't help but smile wide as he pulls back to look Nami over. Definitely Nami and in one piece too. )

I don't even know. I woke up in a cage with some farmers and then they let me out and I've been looking around since. ( He doesn't need to clarify he's been looking for his friends, it's a given. ) There's been ships and food tasting and at first I couldn't even understand what people were saying and now I can, which is weird now I think about it....

( Really weird. Luffy is aware he's almost rambling and he gives a small shrug. Is this how Usopp feels when telling something?? )

What about you?
