Usopp x reader Hunting High and Low Chapter four

Night had finally fallen on the seas, (f/n) had confessed to having a fear of enclosed spaces and requested to sleep out on the deck. Naturally, Chopper and Usopp tried to encourage you to bed with the other ladies on the ship, however you assured them that your fur coat would shield you from the chilled night air. Knowing that you wouldn't budge on the subject, Chopper conceded to letting you sleep outside. You were just about to nod off into dream land when you heard footsteps approach, you gave a small warning growl as you opened one eye to see who your visitor was.

It was Usopp. Him again? You lifted your large fuzzy head and stared at him curiously, waiting for him to say what was on his mind. Then, you noticed a rolled up wool blanket tucked under his arm. You tilted your head and the long nosed man sat cross legged across from you and rolled out the blanket. Finally, curiosity got the better of you.

"Why are you out here? It's too cold for you to sleep outside. Go back in where it's warm." You turned away from the man and pretended not to acknowledge his presence. Usopp chuckled quietly and patted your large head.

"Not a chance, you'll get lonely out here, not to mention cold. So I'll keep you company until morning." You looked back at him, his chest was puffed out with pride and he reeked of confidence. He even had a victorious grin on his face, as if he had already won. Which he had.

"Fine, do whatever you want." you huffed and turned back around and laid your head between your massive paws. You felt Usopp adjust himself into a comfortable spot on the grass and snuggled underneath his wool blanket. Just as the wind picked up, dropping the temperature drastically, making him shiver. You sighed pitifully as you watched him curl into a tight ball to trap in as much body heat as possible.

Even this wasn't enough for the young pirate, finally, taking pity on the stubborn man, you moved your large, fuzzy body closer to his, wrapping him into a tight ball of soft, warm fur, his head resting on your good ribs. Immediately, Usopp's shivering stopped and you both began to drift off to sleep together, curled up against the bitter cold of the winds. You remember thinking, before you fell asleep, "Usopp's so warm..."

"Sir Scar," A hunter called out as he knelt to one knee, a large, solid black wolf with icy blue eyes turned in acknowledgement of his name and sat before the hunter, waiting for him to continue.

"The She-wolf...she perished." The hunter was met with a sharp snarling and a swipe of his paw across his face, permanently defacing him with a nasty scar across his cheek.

"You're a fool!" Scar barked, quite literally too, "(f/n) wouldn't die from your pitiful excuse for ammunition. No, I wanted to make sure that my property was going to be returned to me, so I silently followed your squad after her. After you left her on the Bridge of Roses, a group of pirates showed up and took her!"

The man, looked up at his master, this large animal, with disbelief. "Did you see their Jolly Roger?" He asked clutching his bleeding cheek.

"A skull and cross bones, the skull wore what looked like a straw hat."

"THE STRAW HAT PIRATES!" Another hunter cried out, recognizing the description of the pirate flag. He was shaking in his boots, near ready to piss himself.

Sir Scar, took this time to plan his next ten moves. Were these "Straw Hat Pirates" that formidable? Would they even prove to be a challenge to slaughter? Scar smirked to himself as best as a wolf could. He threw back his head and let out a deep and powerful Alpha Howl. His howl, signified the declaration of war.

"Make ready a ship! I want to follow those damned pirates! I want what was stolen from me!"

"Sir!" the group of hunters replied as they scrambled to make ready a ship to set sail.

Scar left the idiotic humans to their duties, as he strode off into the forest, he felt the call of the hunt and began to stalk his prey.
