* PercussiveMaintenance: Before their conversation veers into uncomfortable territory, Sanji opens by complaining about his galley's stove, noting that it shouldn't be malfunctioning given how it's brand new. After their talk goes poorly, Sanji ends up kicking the stove out of frustration, causing it to hiss in a way he deems satisfying.

* BluntYes: When Sanji bitterly asks if his prying makes him "the bad guy now", Usopp irritably snaps "Yes!" before correcting himself:
-->'''Sanji:''' Oh, so I'm the bad guy now, am I?\\
'''Usopp:''' Yes! ...No. You're being nice again. But you're kinda being a jerk about it.



* InsistentTerminology: PlayedForDrama when Usopp "corrects" Sanji, reminding him that it was ''Sogeking'' who fought alongside the other Straw Hats to save Robin, not ''him''.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While Sanji honestly means well, his stubborn refusal to back off despite Usopp sending all sorts of signals that he really ''should'' doesn't end well.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While Sanji honestly means well, his stubborn refusal to back off despite Usopp sending all sorts of signals that he really ''should'' doesn't end well. Then there's the matter discussed under NotQuiteTheRightThing...


Added DiffLines:

* OneSideOfTheStory: Usopp explains to Sanji that he spent some time observing the other Straw Hats as the new ship was being built, trying to figure out a good time to approach them. However, they seemed so happy and excited that he kept losing his nerve. Hearing this, Sanji mentally notes that the sniper apparently didn't see how tense they all were, or notice that Luffy rarely left their temporary headquarters, waiting there just in case Usopp showed up.


Added DiffLines:

* SayingTooMuch: Usopp repeatedly does this, such as when he offhandedly remarks that he couldn't have been the one who saved everyone at Enies Lobby because they don't ''really'' need him.
