I will now announce the winner of this round! *drumroll*

We had a lovely set of entries this time.
jadekitty777 presented a hilarious story involving a prank and lots of red food colouring. I can totally see that scene happening, with the usual craziness aboard the Thousand Sunny, haha.
serrende's story, on the other hand, also featured Usopp but with a vastly different effect. It was a touching look into the feelings behind the creation of Sogeking, a beautiful insight into Usopp's emotions and inner thoughts.
Last but not least, synvamp used the colour red to represent the relationship between Zoro and Sanji. The story was sweet, funny at parts and rather wistful at the end, and I like how the colour red was used as the core of the story.

But every round needs a winner, and I have decided to select serrende's story as the winning piece! I love the way it was written, and how the concept of the colour red representing bravery was explored.

The ball's in your court, serrende! :D
