#they indeed needed to interact big brother Ace casually breaking into the ship

[enjomo-arch]

A  long  yawn  escaped  his  lips  as  his  strong  arms  stretched,  his  back  arched  like  a  cat  against  the  Sunny's  wooden  railing.  It  took  them  quite  a  long  time  to  find  him.  Not  sure  if  it  was  because  Striker  was  tied  to  the  back  of  the  ship  with  a  rope  or  because  Ace  was  making  such  loud  snoring  noises  that  he  finally  woke  someone  up.  He  couldn't  say  it  was  an  instant  reaction  to  his  visit.  If  he  had  been  a  ferocious  killer,  he  would  have  slaughtered  half  the  crew  before  anyone  noticed  his  presence,

He  tipped  his  hat  back  with  his  thumb  and  rubbed  the  sleep  from  his  tired  eyelids.  Brown  irises  looked  up  at  the  sniper  guy  as  Ace's  lips  curled  into  a  small  smirk.  He  wiggled  in  his  seat,  making  himself  at  ease  by  resting  his  arms  behind  his  head  for  support.  ❝  Yep, It  took  ya  quite  a  long  time  to  discover  me.  I  noticed  your  ship  passing  by  late  at  night  and  decided  to  pay  y'all  a  visit.  If  I  hadn't  seen  how  my  little  pain  in  the  ass  brother  was  doing,  I  would  have  been  a  terrible  big  brother.  ❞  A  chuckle  followed  when  his  expression  was  like  rays  of  the  sun  slowly  rising  in  a  clear  blue  sky.  

❝  The  truth  is,  I  smelled  food  from  here  and  went  to  treat  myself  before  fallin'  asleep.  ❞  This  was  a  much  more  believable  script  of  what  happened  during  the  night  when  everyone  else  was  plunged  into  sleep.  ❝  Usopp,  'ight  ?  You're  up  early,  and  the  sun  is  barely  risin'.  Rough  night  ?  ❞  Ace  asked,  a  brow  raised  in  question.  In  truth,  he  wondered  if  the  sniper  guy  was  just  a  morning  person  or  if  there  was  something  else  keeping  him  awake  so  early.

@kamisopp : ❝  wait— have you been here all night?  ❞ they need to interactttt
