Sometimes Sanji wonders what it might have been like if Usopp really had left them.
He wonders if Usopp would have gone out to sea, but that seems impossible. Merry couldn’t carry him, and then Usopp would be alone to see Merry gasp and stutter and begin to sink.
Sanji can’t even think about that, so he doesn’t.
Usopp could have been a shipwright, and that doesn’t seem quite so bad, which probably just makes it worse. Because Usopp wouldn’t have been as strong as the other shipwrights, but he would be as dedicated, as talented. This was a man who had no real carpentry experience, and yet had managed to keep Merry together through sheer force of will. He’d be a quick learner. They’d like him.
Yeah, Usopp could have stayed at Water 7, and at least Sanji would have known Iceburg was there to take care of him, because even before he’d met him, Sanji could see the Galley-La President was a good man and a strong leader.
Usopp could have been a shipwright, if Robin hadn’t left them, if CP9 hadn’t been the deceptive bastards they were, if the world turned upside down and the Straw Hats had been content to fall to pieces.
Too many ‘ifs’ for something that was never a possibility to begin with, and Sanji feels ill just thinking about it, so in his mind he lets the door close on the idea. A huge door, cast iron, with a large number one etched into it. A door that needs two people to open it, but only Usopp’s presence, sleeping quietly and warm at his side, to close it tight.
