Chapter Fourteen: Slingshots and Inventions

Summary: Luffy thinks about how slingshots work and then starts thinking about Usopp and the crazy things he's invented.

"I wonder how slingshots are made. Every time I use Usopp's slingshot, I end up missing. Either that or I launch the slingshot itself. That's happens a lot and they always fall into the water. Maybe Usopp knows what there made of. Speaking of Usopp, he's in his factory making some kind of invention. I'm not sure what it is, though. Whatever it is, I know it'll be cool. But sometimes, they mess up. I remember when he made firework launchers and they all went out of control. The sails were almost burned down! That day was crazy. Er."

"Hey, Luffy, come here!" Usopp called.

"O.k!" Luffy said as he stood up and made his way over to Usopp's Factory.

"You know… I'll never forget that time when me and Usopp fought over Merry. Everyone thinks I forget those kinds of events easily but I don't. … Enough negativity! Let's see what Usopp…"

Luffy opened the door to Usopp's Factory and all of a sudden, rope was shot at Luffy and he fell on the floor.

"Hey, what the…?" Suddenly, he felt a small shock and screamed. "Aah, what's going on?! Make it stop!"

The shock disappeared and Luffy's hair was spiked up due to the shock.

"Cool, it works!" Usopp said going up to him.

"What the heck is going on here?!" Nami said barging into the room.

"Uh, oh." Usopp thought who knew what was coming next.

Nami saw Luffy on the floor with rope around him and then glared at Usopp.

"What were you doing?!"

"I was just…"

"He shot a rope at me and then I felt this weird rushing feeling and I don't know what it was!" Luffy said trying to get himself out of the ropes grasp.

"I was inventing something that would work on Devil Fruit users like him." said Usopp.

"And you used Luffy as a test subject?! Are you kidding me?! You could've killed him! He's not used to electricity!" Nami yelled angrily and then beat him up. She then turned to Luffy. "You poor thing! Are you o.k?" She untied Luffy and threw the ropes to the side.

"I'm fine." Luffy said sitting up. "Whoa. That was weird. I feel… Like… Something was going right through me."

"That's how electricity feels."

"I don't like it."

"No one does."

"I'll get Usopp back later." Luffy thought. "When he least suspects it."

Sorry, if it's different than what you thought it was. Have you been electrocuted? I did for like, a few seconds. It feels weird. Not very fun.

Review, please! :D
