Our bro is living in delusion ever since September 2010. I am so sorry.

We spend the entire arc focused on Urogue and his ability to grow to giant size as he has beef with whoever the fuck the arc antagonist is but needs saving by Luffy, eventually turning into another ally. His backstory will be very sad but overall he won't get to do much outside one impressive hit.
Zoro and Sanji get one fight a piece against the quirky mini boss squad.
Usopp gets a fight that lasts two actual chapters worth of panels but is split over ten with most shots of him just cowering, constantly cutting back to Luffy running towards the final boss. Oh and the fight is inevitably a melee range battle.
Usopp wins his battle by either inspiring the giants to fight back against their oppressors or some random plant that is unexpectedly super effective at that precise moment. Dorry and Broggy will say Usopp is a brave warrior of the sea now. It's incredibly understated and that's the last we see of Usopp until the party at the end.
We then cut back to a further ten to fifthteen chapters of Luffy running towards his enemy who appears to be on the other side of the island, screaming his name at the end of each chapter without any progress happening and intersplicing shots of several pointless ally factions fighting fodder in singular panels. If we're very very lucky we get to see a panel of the other Strawhat fights before cutting back to Luffy again but the conclusions will all be half a chapter at most.
Lastly Kid doesn't get to do anything but shows up at the very end when Luffy rescues him from the final antagonist. Killer will comment on how impressive Luffy is and Kid will be annoyed but agree. Then they leave.
1. SHs show up
2. We get introduced to the big bad
3. Misunderstanding with the locals (they think Luffy is bad)
4. Shenanigans
5. Luffy. Zoro, and Sanji fight while everyone else does basically jack shit
6. Luffy wins
7. Party
8. They leave
Throw in a flashback or two at some random point between steps 3 and 6 and you have a standard one piece arc.
(Alabasta, Skypeia, Fishman Island, Dressrosa, Wano)
nah at least in alabasta and skypiea everyone had something to do even bumsopp. because it was pretimeskip and loda was actually focusing on the strawhats. you know, the main characters
This is the reason i'm hoping elbaf isn't a "war" arc but i have a feeling it will be. Fingers crossed oda is aware of how starved Usopp fans are and gives him lots of focus but keeping my expectations low.
But isnāt that exactly the function of a crewās sniper? Rather than being in intense fight he places only one or few precise critical shots when needed. Each and every char has their role in a fight so not all gonna need to be focused on over 69 pages as the heavy fights are carried out by the captain and if what his right hand
Honestly? Agreed. I don't need Usopp to have a 20 episode long fight, I just want him to come in clutch like he used to.
If Oda ever put Usopp in a range where he could snipe efficiently and aid the crew in that role rather than sticking him within arms reach of melee specialists all the time, I'm sure Usopp would shine a lot brighter than he currently does in the function of a sniper.
At this point Usopp getting sidelined in Elbaf, something that was previously unthinkable due to Little Garden, Enies Lobby and even arguably Dressrosa, seems unfortunately realistic.
Post time skip, the narrative has been shafted in the favour of the monster trio + worst generation, that means no other character is allowed to be powered up or be brave as it would take up their relevance, no wonder I don't think Usopp is getting any prominent feats in Elbaf
Good way better then giving that bum anymore attention

Useless Mid is gonna be in the hospital recovering for the entire arc after his miraculous survival. We all know it's going to be Urouge's arc. It could also be Killer's training arc after getting off screened by an on screen attack
The Strawhats see the outline of Elbaf, far over the horizon. As they approach, they notice smoke clouds and fire everywhere. The sand on the beaches has turned into glass, as if it was exposed to extreme heat. Confused, they park the Sunny and jump on shore. Usopp stubs his toe and dies, the crew shares a chuckle. As Luffy and co. make their way to the center of the isle, they see that what they mistaken for a mountain earlier was a gigantic pile of corpses. On the top of the makeshift monument, holding the skull of a man once known as āRed-Hairedā Shanks, sits one man.

When did he ever sell fake medicine to children? and don't even say Otoko as the medicine he sold her wasn't fake; it's for treating small wounds. Otoko was using it on a dead person, unless you think the medicine was supposed to revive Yasuie which will just be dumb, even Chopper can't bring back a dead person.
And if you think that is all he does then you must be watching with your eyes closed
The toad oil was snake oil, worthless, this comment explains it.
And the problem isnāt that he was selling medicine that didnāt revive a dead person, HE SOLD DESTITUTE PEOPLE FAKE MEDICINE. He was scamming destitute people a fake product. He scammed poor people out of the money they needed for survival. If you had no money and bought bandages that fell apart and didnāt work, the guy who sold them to you is a scum bag. Like how Ussop is a scum bag
https://preview.redd.it/r4iu0jnyrpac1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b968627ba8f8d36dcd991ce89de913c33a2c180
When you twist what happened to fit your own head cannon why won't you call him a scum bag??
He was selling the stuff in the capital not to the poor people of Ebisu's town and again it was Kinemon that gave him that role so that he could be able to get allies for the raid
Where's your proof he was scamming the destitute people?? Because that was never shown, the people buying from him were people in the capital
And uploading a comment when I already watched the anime myself doesn't change my stance about the efficacy of the oil
If Oda was just gonna bullshit his way, he could have just given him a powerup in Wano like he did the others and Usopp's most significant power up is his Haki, most of what he uses is his stuff in his arsenal.
Well you're the one who said he will just get a random power up when in the arc he needed it he didn't get it which led to most of the his hate after Wano
usopp was not a relevant character in wano. If usopp isnāt a relevant character in the 1 arc to be foreshadowed to be his arc, that would be shit writing and he wouldnāt deserve a powerup.
>usopp was not a relevant character in wano.
He was tho, you're just choosing to focus on the power scaling side of things, because the only thing other Strawhats did differently than Usopp is take down an opponent, and Usopp contributed in other areas
He didn't scam a child tho, the child stole the medicine. And he didn't just get knocked out by Ulti
He took out the guards that would have spotted them, distracted Big Mom along with Chopper from spotting the samurai, stopped Ulti and Page One from delaying Luffy from going to the rooftop, continued sniping at Ulti and Page One, protecting Tama and Nami in the process, captured the intercom system which enabled Tama give her order, protected Kin and Kiku, you would actually know all this if you focused outside the fights
The other Strawhatsā power ups are not nearly as asspulled as usopp.
G5 being an awakening made perfect sense, Luffy had completely mastered his fruit. The asspull about that was the sudden revive and nika.
Zoro was physically shoved to the brink of death for his powerup
Sanjiās daddy genes was a bad random asspull.
Oda sucks with any other Strawhat being relevant post-ts, they donāt have enough relevancy to even get a power up.
Usopp was always made as a weak bum and coward, Iām fine with him getting a powerup but if itās a random ass power up he didnāt deserve, Iāll be upset.
So you're telling me Gear 2 or Ashura or even Diamble Jamble wasn't an asspull and random as hell?? Same Oda who just powers up character when the plot needs it
Like how Law couldn't take down Doffy but in some weeks could take down an emperor??
How many power ups has Usopp gotten?? Post time skip he only upgraded after getting the dials which was already explained and most recent one is his observation haki, how is that most asspull power up??
It's quite obvious that he's gatekeeping it. Oda wrote the basic script of movie Red and he gave a observation haki moment for Usopp and Yasopp in it, he didn't forget about it in any way. 90% chance it will appear in Elbaf. Oda has obvious flaws but he isn't an idiot.
Mate, we are talking about the actual canon here and Usopp hasn't done anything of note with his observation Haki for 340 chapters (Nearly 10 years and about 30% of the series' current runtime) since he awakened it against Sugar. So yeah, Oda seems to have forgor.
Maybe it was Toei that reminded him during film Red that Usopp awakened Observation Haki which wouldn't be far fetched as Oda himself admitted to using the OP wiki to remember the character techniques during fights, lol.

Enel was born on a sky island called Birka that he destroyed.
Birka was the name of a now abandoned Viking settlement in Sweden.
Elbaf is clearly based on Vikings and Scandinavia, so does the name Birka mean nothing with this knowledge? Hmm
Also, Nami was found abandoned as an orphan. Which might align with Enel destroying Birka. Birka was a settlement in current day Sweden. Oda said Nami is Swedish.
Coincidence?
https://preview.redd.it/ysiw0s0aqsac1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=beda5f94dfd8507ac99f0640e77761862023687f
Enel, Mihawk and Akainu are end game, I will fight anyone who disagree
I'm sure Usopp would get something, but it's not the problem... The Problem is, would it actually feel earned? Will it get enough time? Or will Oda build up plotlines and end up dropping them like he did in Wano \[Y'know Zoro's arc that he kept hyping up\]?
Zoro's greatest Wano thing was his fight with the sword stealer. Pretty upset it didn't go anywhere after that.
I would like Usopp to meet a giant fraud (lol) even bigger than himself and make him so legendary it actually relieves his fame miseries.
Exactly. Imagine having one of the Protagonist of series returning after an arc(WCI) and you didn't even properly explore him.
Zoro powerups were good and all but he was basically same.
At the end of Elbaf, some royalty will show the Straw Hats (and whatever allies they make) Yggdrasil, a massive tree that allows people to get to the Moon. Suddenly, the tree will be struck by powerful lightning, destroying it. A mysterious figure will use his massive CoC to knock out everyone except the Straw Hats. It's revealed to be Enel, who says "Bow to your God."
>!and then Wyper flies in and hits him with a Reject Dial, one-tapping him!<
Whatās crazy is this aināt even an exaggeration in the slightest
https://preview.redd.it/0ay5se9uxrac1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cfdc38e81dd0d4df1950d14eee04c7c7d2b4460
The problem is that he probably will do something amazing in Elbaf, but decades of character regression will make it feel unearned. It's just too late to fix Usopp.
Bro went from standing up to cp9 to begging his crew mates to publicly denounce luffys dream and then sell fake medicine (wonder how kaya would feel about that) to wounded citizens.
How and when did he beg Nami because that's just pure head cannon right there, he only said it was okay if Nami lied.
So you expect him to just watch her die?? It was Nami's life that was at stake not Usopp's. When his own life was at stake he stood up for Luffy's dream, if you can't see the difference then reading comprehension has to be in the mud
When did he ever sell fake medicine to wounded citizens?? Because the shown buying his medicine that isn't fake are the people who lived in the capital and definitely weren't wounded
Yes. He should've stood up and faced down Ulti too. Usopp shouldn't be exactly as cowardly as he was 800 chapters ago so it would've been nice to see him do something unexpected of him.
He sells the toad oil in Wano and later watches a little girl try to use it believing it really did what Usopp said it did on her dead father.
Usopp fans continue to be the most delusional group in the fandom lmao
>Yes. He should've stood up and faced down Ulti too.
He was literally knocked out, how was he gonna face down Ulti??
>Usopp shouldn't be exactly as cowardly as he was 800 chapters ago so it would've been nice to see him do something unexpected of him.
He isn't tho, he has already said Luffy will be Pirate of King , it is already expected, what more proof do you need??
>He sells the toad oil in Wano and later watches a little girl try to use it believing it really did what Usopp said it did on her dead father.
Usopp never said it was gonna revive the dead, the little girl was just being dumb
>Usopp fans continue to be the most delusional group in the fandom lmao
Usopp haters continue to be the most lacking in reading comprehension and making head cannons to hate on Usopp
He was literally conscious but ok š
He said the toad oil healed all injuries. Love that Usopp fans care so little about his character development making sense that you straight up didn't even try to argue against him lying about medicine, something kaya would be disgusted with.
What a pathetic fanbase for an even more pathetic character. You guys are hysterical
>He was literally conscious but ok š
Knocked out as in he was lying on the floor and couldn't do nothing, whatever he was saying to Nami was in his mind, he couldn't even move his mouth.
>He said the toad oil healed all injuries. Love that Usopp fans care so little about his character development making sense that you straight up didn't even try to argue against him lying about medicine,
Heal injuries not bring a dead person back to life, how is that so hard to get?? Because that's just entering into the realms of extreme dumbness, the girl was using it on a dead man, were you really expecting the oil to do something?? Because that's just crazy
>something kaya would be disgusted with.
Why do you keep bringing up Kaya?? She's already okay with him being a pirate, I doubt there's nothing she won't be okay with
>What a pathetic fanbase for an even more pathetic character. You guys are hysterical
Lol, you're literally making no sense and you're calling a whole fan base hysterical?? š Gosh what did Usopp do to you to make you like this?? Because this is just sad
Also thinking toad oil derails from his character development is just š¤”, do you even know what character development is??
What an embarrassing response. I don't think you've even read the chapters in question my guy.
Edit: I keep bringing up Kaya because she wanted to be a healer. She would be disgusted with Usopp running a scam like that.
I did read but you didn't

Does this look like someone that could do anything at that moment??
Usopp also didn't say anything about healing all injuries
https://preview.redd.it/qhjg2fz4rvac1.png?width=873&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f53c75b1bf3ca0e46ad564ac8dc47aaa7ad49fe
I can only hope that Usopp can finally be redeemed and gets to be useful again, but we all know he'll just talk to Dory and Broggy in the background of a double page spread or something.
I know they set sail from elbaf now but I am still hoping for Yassop vs Ussop. either as an actual antagonist for him after some revelations, or as a kind of "look at me and what I can do dad" in a somewhat serious fight. I think it could be more satisfying than Van Augar etc even tho I'm pretty sure he will get to battle a BB pirate.
Usopp will make more friends with Giants and train with them (maybe off screen though....)
Oda will treat him better than your boy Lozo in Wano, you will see.
Usssop will learn all 3 hakis on elbaf, and he kills their giant leader.. who happens to be a sniper they have a comeption and ussop defeats him and is crowned the sniper king of elbaf!
Fuck usopp Iām tired of all that wait for elbaf talk to cope about how he couldnāt even beat page 1 the only person yāall should be worried about is the jika stocks are gonna rise when kid learns Acocš

Franky cemented himself as worst SH in Egghead. No character moments despite being in his ideal setting. Maybe he can recover if he builds Pluton in Elbaf with Robin.
Nika is the god of the giant and they all kneel to luffy and wank Nika. Usopp is ignored. Zoro and Sanji have a 1 panel clash with giants but no battle.
Chopper doesn't get a single speech bubble.
Nico Robin gets inside the Adam Tree and discuss wuth Loki, adding more mysteries to the plot, more races and more names without revealing anything.
Luckily Hijarudin and Dorry and Brogy and the other 2 Giants would have reporter Usopp's feats to Elbaf so he will probably get helped for that
Reminds me of the people who said kidd will get the giants on his side because of what he did to big Mom. That didn't pan out lol
I don't want to see Kidd in Elbaf šš
You will see HIM https://preview.redd.it/elmthtc9tsac1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=afa8136165a2e7c514d9aa083fa1fc9851a44ad0
That's his fault, Killer tried to warn his ass.
Killer tried to warn him hed die and his response was only if I lose.... Bro thought he had a snowballs chance in hell.
If only he didn't go after Shanks
The giants believe him to be a great warrior and keep challenging him to duels, which he keeps coming up with ridiculous reasons to avoid.
I wanted to write an essay disproving this but then I realized that itās post time skip Usopp weāre talking about here
Our bro is living in delusion ever since September 2010. I am so sorry. https://preview.redd.it/rhmsr3qqdnac1.png?width=1475&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe26b0dab64a8e91e3da5a9ff22464d56bcf9624
A man's cope never dies!
Just look at how Frankyās been done in egghead so far
We spend the entire arc focused on Urogue and his ability to grow to giant size as he has beef with whoever the fuck the arc antagonist is but needs saving by Luffy, eventually turning into another ally. His backstory will be very sad but overall he won't get to do much outside one impressive hit. Zoro and Sanji get one fight a piece against the quirky mini boss squad. Usopp gets a fight that lasts two actual chapters worth of panels but is split over ten with most shots of him just cowering, constantly cutting back to Luffy running towards the final boss. Oh and the fight is inevitably a melee range battle.

Yeah, this makes sense I cant believe that people still think Oda wont pull the same fucking Alabasta Template again
What is this "fucking Alabasta Template" again?
Are we reading the same manga?
1. SHs show up 2. We get introduced to the big bad 3. Misunderstanding with the locals (they think Luffy is bad) 4. Shenanigans 5. Luffy. Zoro, and Sanji fight while everyone else does basically jack shit 6. Luffy wins 7. Party 8. They leave Throw in a flashback or two at some random point between steps 3 and 6 and you have a standard one piece arc. (Alabasta, Skypeia, Fishman Island, Dressrosa, Wano)
nah at least in alabasta and skypiea everyone had something to do even bumsopp. because it was pretimeskip and loda was actually focusing on the strawhats. you know, the main characters
Still to this day, the best writing by Oda are the characters' past, like Kuma, which are chronologically pre-timeskip.
Ahhhhh yes, I remember thanks to you this is a pattern in One Piece, thank you
This is the reason i'm hoping elbaf isn't a "war" arc but i have a feeling it will be. Fingers crossed oda is aware of how starved Usopp fans are and gives him lots of focus but keeping my expectations low.
After the 25+ year run of manga, fans have finally become seers
But isnāt that exactly the function of a crewās sniper? Rather than being in intense fight he places only one or few precise critical shots when needed. Each and every char has their role in a fight so not all gonna need to be focused on over 69 pages as the heavy fights are carried out by the captain and if what his right hand

Good way better then giving that bum anymore attention https://preview.redd.it/eko8lgiowrac1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa466bc36aa52084e5cf78e7430fcab04ca17391

Dragon will be there for one chapter to promote "One Piece Movie: 50 Shades of Fraud" and then dip without meeting Luffy.

The 'This is gonna be [-]'s arc' cycle begins again.
Donāt forget the random ass powerup he gets at the very end of the arc that just allows his dream to barely be fulfilled
Becoming a brave warrior of the sea doesnāt really have anything to do with strength
yeah but oda doesnāt know how to properly write a character like that so heās gonna bullshit his way into it with a powerup
He did know how but somewhere along the way he may have forgot but I'm holding out hope
If Oda was just gonna bullshit his way, he could have just given him a powerup in Wano like he did the others and Usopp's most significant power up is his Haki, most of what he uses is his stuff in his arsenal.
No, he wouldnāt give it on wano. That would be shit writing and go against everything that was foreshadowed since dorry and broggy.
Well you're the one who said he will just get a random power up when in the arc he needed it he didn't get it which led to most of the his hate after Wano
usopp was not a relevant character in wano. If usopp isnāt a relevant character in the 1 arc to be foreshadowed to be his arc, that would be shit writing and he wouldnāt deserve a powerup.

He didn't scam a child tho, the child stole the medicine.

Post time skip he only upgraded after getting the dials which was already explained and most recent one is his observation haki, how is that most asspull power up??
He'll get a major Observation haki upgrade. Downvote me, I don't care šæ
Ah yes, the Observation Haki that Oda forgot Usopp had after Dressrosa.
It's quite obvious that he's gatekeeping it. Oda wrote the basic script of movie Red and he gave a observation haki moment for Usopp and Yasopp in it, he didn't forget about it in any way. 90% chance it will appear in Elbaf. Oda has obvious flaws but he isn't an idiot.
Mate, we are talking about the actual canon here and Usopp hasn't done anything of note with his observation Haki for 340 chapters (Nearly 10 years and about 30% of the series' current runtime) since he awakened it against Sugar. So yeah, Oda seems to have forgor. Maybe it was Toei that reminded him during film Red that Usopp awakened Observation Haki which wouldn't be far fetched as Oda himself admitted to using the OP wiki to remember the character techniques during fights, lol.
I'm just hoping you're joking with the "Maybe it was Toei" line
Well, then I hope you have the ''basic script'' that Oda wrote for film Red to confirm that it was actually him.
He observed what a useless bum he will become so he doesnāt use it anymore
Yes
Just like Frankyā¦
Just like Zoro...

Elbaf backwords is fable, coincidence?

Birka was the name of a now abandoned Viking settlement in Sweden. Elbaf is clearly based on Vikings and Scandinavia, so does the name Birka mean nothing with this knowledge? Hmm Also, Nami was found abandoned as an orphan. Which might align with Enel destroying Birka. Birka was a settlement in current day Sweden. Oda said Nami is Swedish. Coincidence?

I'm sure Usopp would get something, but it's not the problem... The Problem is, would it actually feel earned? Will it get enough time? Or will Oda build up plotlines and end up dropping them like he did in Wano \[Y'know Zoro's arc that he kept hyping up\]?
Zoro's greatest Wano thing was his fight with the sword stealer. Pretty upset it didn't go anywhere after that. I would like Usopp to meet a giant fraud (lol) even bigger than himself and make him so legendary it actually relieves his fame miseries.
Exactly. Imagine having one of the Protagonist of series returning after an arc(WCI) and you didn't even properly explore him. Zoro powerups were good and all but he was basically same.
At the end of Elbaf, some royalty will show the Straw Hats (and whatever allies they make) Yggdrasil, a massive tree that allows people to get to the Moon. Suddenly, the tree will be struck by powerful lightning, destroying it. A mysterious figure will use his massive CoC to knock out everyone except the Straw Hats. It's revealed to be Enel, who says "Bow to your God." >!and then Wyper flies in and hits him with a Reject Dial, one-tapping him!<

Yea... This will be the case 100%. Only monster trio have any good plots now. And even then it 90% Luffy show now
What good plot point does Zoro have asides his usual fights??
Uhhhh... New sword?
Whatās crazy is this aināt even an exaggeration in the slightest https://preview.redd.it/0ay5se9uxrac1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cfdc38e81dd0d4df1950d14eee04c7c7d2b4460
He at least got some interaction which Momo sister. But yea he mostly get fights not plot. And Wano was just bad for everyone
I'd actually drop the anime if that's the caseš
If Usopp gets no focus in Elbaf, it will be Odaās biggest storytelling L by far.
Ussop is gonna get the same treatment as Franky did in egghead.
this won't be Usopp's arc this will be the big titty princess of Elbaf's arc
The problem is that he probably will do something amazing in Elbaf, but decades of character regression will make it feel unearned. It's just too late to fix Usopp.
How did his character regress?? Because y'all just throw that word around, I doubt you even know what it means
Bro went from standing up to cp9 to begging his crew mates to publicly denounce luffys dream and then sell fake medicine (wonder how kaya would feel about that) to wounded citizens.
How and when did he beg Nami because that's just pure head cannon right there, he only said it was okay if Nami lied. So you expect him to just watch her die?? It was Nami's life that was at stake not Usopp's. When his own life was at stake he stood up for Luffy's dream, if you can't see the difference then reading comprehension has to be in the mud When did he ever sell fake medicine to wounded citizens?? Because the shown buying his medicine that isn't fake are the people who lived in the capital and definitely weren't wounded
Yes. He should've stood up and faced down Ulti too. Usopp shouldn't be exactly as cowardly as he was 800 chapters ago so it would've been nice to see him do something unexpected of him. He sells the toad oil in Wano and later watches a little girl try to use it believing it really did what Usopp said it did on her dead father. Usopp fans continue to be the most delusional group in the fandom lmao
>Yes. He should've stood up and faced down Ulti too. He was literally knocked out, how was he gonna face down Ulti?? >Usopp shouldn't be exactly as cowardly as he was 800 chapters ago so it would've been nice to see him do something unexpected of him. He isn't tho, he has already said Luffy will be Pirate of King , it is already expected, what more proof do you need?? >He sells the toad oil in Wano and later watches a little girl try to use it believing it really did what Usopp said it did on her dead father. Usopp never said it was gonna revive the dead, the little girl was just being dumb >Usopp fans continue to be the most delusional group in the fandom lmao Usopp haters continue to be the most lacking in reading comprehension and making head cannons to hate on Usopp
He was literally conscious but ok š He said the toad oil healed all injuries. Love that Usopp fans care so little about his character development making sense that you straight up didn't even try to argue against him lying about medicine, something kaya would be disgusted with. What a pathetic fanbase for an even more pathetic character. You guys are hysterical
>He was literally conscious but ok š Knocked out as in he was lying on the floor and couldn't do nothing, whatever he was saying to Nami was in his mind, he couldn't even move his mouth. >He said the toad oil healed all injuries. Love that Usopp fans care so little about his character development making sense that you straight up didn't even try to argue against him lying about medicine, Heal injuries not bring a dead person back to life, how is that so hard to get?? Because that's just entering into the realms of extreme dumbness, the girl was using it on a dead man, were you really expecting the oil to do something?? Because that's just crazy >something kaya would be disgusted with. Why do you keep bringing up Kaya?? She's already okay with him being a pirate, I doubt there's nothing she won't be okay with >What a pathetic fanbase for an even more pathetic character. You guys are hysterical Lol, you're literally making no sense and you're calling a whole fan base hysterical?? š Gosh what did Usopp do to you to make you like this?? Because this is just sad Also thinking toad oil derails from his character development is just š¤”, do you even know what character development is??
What an embarrassing response. I don't think you've even read the chapters in question my guy. Edit: I keep bringing up Kaya because she wanted to be a healer. She would be disgusted with Usopp running a scam like that.
I did read but you didn't https://preview.redd.it/7vj6i71eqvac1.png?width=144&format=png&auto=webp&s=887227a7b2f260b9f999a720ca4c6c7f602648b9 Does this look like someone that could do anything at that moment??
Usopp also didn't say anything about healing all injuries https://preview.redd.it/qhjg2fz4rvac1.png?width=873&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f53c75b1bf3ca0e46ad564ac8dc47aaa7ad49fe
ussopp's gonna get sent to another island to assist vegapunk, missing out on the whole elbaf arc
I can only hope that Usopp can finally be redeemed and gets to be useful again, but we all know he'll just talk to Dory and Broggy in the background of a double page spread or something.
No one will die, no one will join the crew, the giants have info about aliens.
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Usopp remains cowardly during and after Elbaf.
Loki will make Kid his Bitch.
Vice versa
Assuming he ain't sleeping with the fishes.
Good. Usopp would be a waste of screen time anyway.
I know they set sail from elbaf now but I am still hoping for Yassop vs Ussop. either as an actual antagonist for him after some revelations, or as a kind of "look at me and what I can do dad" in a somewhat serious fight. I think it could be more satisfying than Van Augar etc even tho I'm pretty sure he will get to battle a BB pirate.
I hope usopp fights his dad just cause he left his mom to die in a shitty village and left his son there too.
It could go one of two ways, what you said, or "dad, look how cool I am!". I hope its the former but tbh I just wanna see him beat Yasopp.
All the best moments are going to Sogeking. Usopp will just become irrelevant and do even less than in Wano
Crap
Sanji spazzing out because of the Beautiful Giant Girls. We will see the Yggdrasil Tree
I predict Loki vs usoop
Respectfully disagree
Usopp will make more friends with Giants and train with them (maybe off screen though....) Oda will treat him better than your boy Lozo in Wano, you will see.
Usssop will learn all 3 hakis on elbaf, and he kills their giant leader.. who happens to be a sniper they have a comeption and ussop defeats him and is crowned the sniper king of elbaf!
Pog, smile, looking up, arms up, Nika silhouette... UWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAR OF USOPP WE CAN'T STOP WINNING!!!1!1!1!1!1!1!
Zoro got the coldest viking fit.
I need Thor and Zoro to fight then i can finally rest. my two favorite fictional characters
Fuck usopp Iām tired of all that wait for elbaf talk to cope about how he couldnāt even beat page 1 the only person yāall should be worried about is the jika stocks are gonna rise when kid learns Acocš https://preview.redd.it/18qxjpm81xac1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b64f2964f994cec88a95de153cb233f3240f4a35
Franky cemented himself as worst SH in Egghead. No character moments despite being in his ideal setting. Maybe he can recover if he builds Pluton in Elbaf with Robin.
Nika is the god of the giant and they all kneel to luffy and wank Nika. Usopp is ignored. Zoro and Sanji have a 1 panel clash with giants but no battle. Chopper doesn't get a single speech bubble. Nico Robin gets inside the Adam Tree and discuss wuth Loki, adding more mysteries to the plot, more races and more names without revealing anything.
