Guys , usopp has no beef with yasopp for leaving him , so why do you guys have a problem ? I’m obviously just kidding , but I will say that the deadbeat dad jokes are getting a little tired and forced at this point .
Yasopp definitely shot the Going Luffy-senpai on his own accord. If you look at the panel where Yasopp said “Hey Boss, mind stepping out the way?”-watch Shanks’ reaction. An exclamation point (❗️) pops up above his head. So Shanks was caught a bit off guard. Shanks did not stop Yasopp because he knows that Yasopp is right-he trusts Yasopp and the rest of the Red Hair Pirates. Shanks did not order Yasopp to shoot the Going Luffy-senpai.
I imagine that Yassop used observation haki to shoot the ship at just the right angle to ignite their munitions, causing a catastrophic explosion. Van Augur and Usopp have demonstrated similar sniping feats.

lol Kidd was decimated twice by the red haired pirates . And 1x by the big mom pirates and 1x by the Animal kingdom pirates only Yonkou who hasn’t shitted on him yet is Black beard and Buggy
what if Yasopp is as much of a coward as Usopp is? And once Uospp realises that his "perfect ideal" of his father he held for so long is not true at all, he then can become better than his father Yasopp and thus reach new heights on the way of becoming a brave warrior of the sea. I think I would like that a lot. Son surpassing his father while not looking down on him, instead Usopp will make peace with his dad and show how much he has grown in front of him.
I think Shanks wanted to order Barto to "kill luffy" with fake Poison so that he can safe face without actually having to kill anyone. Everybody sees that fucking with shanks has consequences without anyone actually dying
It probably was juice or something Shanks used to mess with luffy when he was still “a kid”. Nobody dies, Shanks has a laugh at luffy’s expense and Luffy starts to take the grand fleet more seriously.
You know Shanks approved of Yassop blowing up the boat. The guy has future sight. Also, if he wanted to he could just go faster than the bullet and stop it lol
@@yami122 I'm thinking perhaps powerful CoO cancels out other powerful CoO. Yassop is a sniper so is probably similarly capable in that regard to Shanks, if not more so.
I think the Red Hairs *would* have let them go… until Barto shit-talked that they’re soft. Yasopp and Shanks I feel definitely have the observation Haki to be aware that he failed to learn his lesson, so they had to drill it in.
I feel if that was true then they would have had a quick moment of the character perking their head up or becoming alert while looking at the ship before taking the shot
@@alihorda it’s not about being petty or feeling insulted. As Shanks spells out at the start of the same scene, it’s about commanding respect through his flag. If rumors spread around that the Red Hairs are soft, then his name can no longer serve to protect people and anywhere his flag flies is in danger of being attacked. This aligns perfectly with the very scene you are referring to. “You can insult me, spill drinks on me, spit on me, and I’ll just laugh that stuff off. But good reason or not, *nobody* hurts a friend of mine.” These are actions taken to ensure his friends are not in danger.
@@alihordaShanks wasn't an emperor then. He didn't have islands and pirate crews under his protection. Those people are under the protection of his reputation, the same reputation that whitebeard had which allowed Ace to literally fall asleep on an enemy ship with no harm coming to him. If it gets out that shanks is soft, then the people under his protection become vulnerable.
My husband being black and his father and grandfather that all black and stayed married to their wives my husband don’t understand. But I saw a white child that grow up without his mom and father and run across the NK border. But than my friend raise his black son as his mom was a die beat I completely understand the pain and hurt. He wait for his mom who never come by and when she rarely did she was so high it was mess up. He was cry evening being 10 years old. Now that cut and I begin to understand more. Look up the story about that white guy going to the most crazy place on earth as NK by running across the borders as he was former USA army. He found it better living in NK even though they never let him near the towns or cities. Didn’t understand deep child hood trama and being blk have nothing to do what it. There deadbeat dad and mom and some stay marry but pay no attention to their child the workers raise and take care of them. Saw one true crime case was the family was beyond wealthy either parent work but drink and fight each other, they nanny raise their son 100% dead beat parents. I don’t even no what worst. One you never see or the ones you see off and on both of them have no excuse not spending time with you and letting the nanny raise you.
My take is that the loyalty test was to decide if they would have shot to kill or shot to blow their ship with no active will to also slay the crew. And I'm also certain that it wasn't Yasopp just deciding on his own, it's logical at the very least wanting to protect your territories, and Shanks is a logical dude. Also more mature than he was more than a decade ago in Foosha. Yassopp's "excuse me, could you move?" was more a "boss, it's time" than a "boss, can I take initiative?"
1:05 correction: what happened 1 month ago was Bartolomeo burning Shank's flag (while the Red Force is in Wano they discuss what they should do about him), from Wano they sail to Elbaf for the confrontation with Kid, and then right after they set out to Gartel island, while the Giant pirates go off to Egghead The scene in this chapter has to be concurrent with the Straw Hats coming to Elbaf
Yasopp did it this way and Shanks allowed him to because they both understood 3 things : 1. They need to appear to do things like this to keep up their Yonko image and via that help protect their territories. 2. It gave the Barto Crew a chance to survive. 3. IF they did indeed survive, they became even stronger and even more fitting subordinates for Luffy. Haki blooms in battle and all that.
What I wonder if this is going to spark a war Between the two crews as Shanks did just destroy one of the straw hat Grand Fleet and as much as the main character idolizes Shanks i'm not sure if he would allow Shanks to kill one of his sworn allies so in an effort to show that Shanks is strong Shanks might end up getting his ass handed to him on a silver platter
i really didnt think ppl would be divided over this tbh, it made perfect sense to me why yassop took an action on his own, i always felt like the dynamic of shanks's crew was way more on an equal ground then other crews, and that if push came to shove another member of shanks's crew could take action
Regarding the ship annihilations, I think it's a willpower/determination test from Shanks. Are the pirates of this new era willing to scratch and claw to reach their dreams after seemingly losing everything, are they prepared to put their life on the line for their dream?
Usopp has a very impressive observation haki feat in the beginning of the Onigashima raid. I'm not sure why no one points this out? It's kind of subtle and isn't shouted about in-story, but it seems very obvious. Here: Chapter 978, the page after the big double page spread with the skull. The page opens with a panel of Sanji and Zoro talking to each other & Franky about how it's important they move fast because the enemy still doesn't know they're on Onigashima. The next panel is Usopp noticing guards that Sanji and Zoro have not noticed yet. He WAS looking through his binoculars, but when he notices the guards he's glancing to the side without them. He's noticing them with his observation haki. The next two panels are the guards like a mile away or whatever drinking booze. They're sitting behind cover and barely notice the existence of ships on the horizon. The next panels, Usopp has already headshot every guard with sleep ammo and knocked them out. The other straw hats say "I thought I saw people there!!" after it would have been too late, but Usopp just blows them off and doesn't even claim credit, saying "Looks like they're asleep! No problem!!" It was VERY casual so I guess that's why no one noticed, but it's also to me a very obvious good observation haki feat. Usopp notices, identifies, and takes out a bunch of guards before Sanji or Zoro even realize there are guards with line of sight on the crew.
Tbh in my opinion the poison plot wasn’t a test for Bart, his fate was already sealed, it was rather a test for Luffy…what kind of does he allow to enact on his behalf, just some random dude or someone who is loyal.
People forget the type of Haki usopp uses requires him to be very calm. Usopp is far from calm he’s always scarred and panicking. He’s likely never using that ability again until he gets into a jam
I may need to re-read the raid, because I've heard a lot of people say Ussop didn't use observation during Wano, but I'm pretty sure he had a pretty badass moment where he sniped guards on a watch tower, before literally anyone else even senses they were there. Like he pulled a full "cool guys don't look at explosions" where he takes them out with a pop-green and doesn't say a word. Sure, it ain't much, but short of future sight, observation isn't exactly flashy. It's just sensing things from outside a conventional sensory range.
I’ve seen people criticize Yassop for this incident by calling him a coward for doing that. Like they expect pirates to be some sort of honor bound order. They are pirates. This is a very pirate thing to do especially for a Yonko crew with their reputations to worry about. Most pirates are not gonna be like the Strawhats.
Except the story just doesn't show that to be true Roger Oden White Beard Are all shown to be above that Honestly I can think of actually very few pirates in this story that would wait until the opponent is showing their back then kill them
@@yami122 Roger decimated and killed plenty of pirate crews. Squard and Shiki say hello. Any examples of “honorable” pirates make up less than maybe 1% of all pirates. If you want to start using Yonko crews to try and prove the contrary I can do the same and bring up Blackbeard. Blackbeard is the quintessential pirate of One Piece. He’s duplicitous, cunning, ambitious, backstabbing, and cowardly. That’s a pirate.
Either Yasopps Armament Haki is so strong he can blow up a ship with one shot, or his Observation Haki is so high he could find the gunpowder reserves aboard the Going Luffy, and land a shot several hundred yards away… on a moving target.
Eh I’m unimpressed, I felt more intimidation from Van Augur shooting birds islands away than I do from that dead beat. Augur felt like that’s what he did to kill boredom on a Sunday afternoon, while unless that guns special it feel like Yassop had infuse it with Haki to make that strong just to show the red hair pirates are serious business like we didn’t know that from Kid’s missing arm.
I totally agree honestly the story showed way back in part one of the story that destroying a ship in a single shot is nothing impressive There's not too many characters at this point in the story who couldn't do that honestly I feel in some ways because people really want the Shanks crew to be the best that anything the Shanks crew does is going to get overhyped a bit
Luffy is also a Yonko now and Bartolomeo is his underling, this would be seen as a Yonko crew trying to take territory from another Yonko crew which would demand a harsh response from shanks. If Blackbeard or the Cross Guild learned about this they might make an actual move against him to take territory. This could have seriously started a conflict between Yonkos which would be a world shaking event much like the summit war.
What i got from this interaction was that shanks likes Bartholomäus. So i think the poison was a test of loyalty and by sinking his ship they are testing his capabilities. Like, rayleigh swam through the calm belt. They have to survive this in order to be worthy to support luffy in the future.
Never in my life would I be seeing Yassop doing something let alone the whole of the Red-Haired Pirate do anything than in recent chapters as the year has progressed. It's very exciting
Bartolomeo drank the poison and passed the test so Yasopp went easy on him: just blow up the ship, put up a bit of a show, leave a message, then when nobody's looking, have the Red-Haired Pirates go in and fish them out of the sea and it's all good. If Bartolomeo HADN'T drunk the poison, and had accepted the task of killing luffy, on the other hand? Yasopp would've gone for the kill. Only thing they'd be fishing out afterwards would be corpses.
Here's the thing though: Yasopp wasn't present at the test. Re-read those pages. Beckmann, Shanks and Roux were present but Yasopp is nowhere to be seen. Maybe that's just a coincidence but it's possible this has significance. Maybe Yasopp didn't approve of the test; or even he never heard the results and just assumed Barto failed.
@@IamGrimalkin Could've just been somewhere out of frame. The whole scene never had too big of an establishing shot so there was plenty of space for him to sit down and cover the whole situation. As a sniper, he should be in the back. Besides, hard to imagine he wouldn't be present, or that if indeed he weren't, he wouldn't be hearing the result from the rest of the crew anyway. He's one of the high-ranking officers, you'd think they would keep him in the loop.
@@BraceDecades Him being out of shot is certainly possible (and probably is what happened if this never gets brought up again). But right now, it's an interesting coincidence, that maybe points to something else going on.
But you have to get rid of Barto's fruit because with the barrier available the final battle would be kinda one-sided. Oden with Enma couldn't crack it, getting rid of that plot device is only logical.
My best guess is that Shanks knows as a yonko he can’t just let another pirate crew one working for another yonko burn his flag. The test was about determining if Shanks was going to kill this guy who wasn’t even loyal to Luffy thus helping Luffy in the long run or if Shanks was gonna have to do a little more work to keep these allies of Luffy alive. Bartolomeo passed the test so I think Shanks had them go then had someone or something else out there to pick them up afterwards. Shanks can be seen as tough and now Shanks can also use this crew who are supposed to be dead to pass secret messages to Luffy. As Shanks would know if word got out he might be allying with Luffy Blackbeard and the world government will mobilize way more as Shanks knows how worried everyone was when it looked like Kaido and Big Mom were allying. My one Shanks chess theory
10:15 It's easy: Had he agreed to poison Luffy, they would'0ve fucking killed him on the spot, because they knew that everything they did was of their ownaccord, and Luffy played no role in it. It was both a loyalty test, and "let's see if you dare lying to me" at the same time. And it was done with Shanks's ok, he actually told him "move so I can shoot them, please"
Everyone talks about Yasopp taking down a ship with a single bullet but real ones will remember how Usoopp took down two marine ships with one shot back in Arabasta
Bartolomeo burn 400 village before meet Luffy same worse like Kidd kill civilian non stop to conquer island also Blackbeard betray Whitebeard after offer home also protection after many decade
I know that we say that the Shanks and bandit scene was a good lesson for Luffy to learn so he doesn't end up like Kidd - killing people left and right for no reason - (and it was!) but their actions now could also have evolved from that. Shanks didn't take care of the bandits when he could have and the result was the village being bothered while they weren't there and Luffy nearly dying and Shanks losing an arm. Might be character-growth. (Though I do like the idea Yassop only took aim once Bart started thinking they were soft.)
I think shanks can’t really take anything lying down anymore as a yonko, since his image as a yonko is what protects the villages under his control. If people thought he was the type of guy you could still just throw bottles of alcohol at all those islands would be raifed
I really wish people would remember Punk Hazard more. Zoro knows all too well the consequences of not being strong enough physically and mentally and having a soft heart on the seas (Sabaody) not to mention when he says those things that make us go "Damn bro..." he's often talking to himself too. Remember the line of dialogue we got from Sanji "He's always so hard on himself" I think that line from two chapters ago might also be a little jab at himself for his reaction at wano when Yasuie died
The way I hope the Usopp/Yassop reunion goes down is Usopp being happy to see his dad, and tells him all about all the adventures the Straw Hat crew has had, and then Yassop asks about how his mom is doing and Usopp realizes just how negligent his dad is that he never even bothered to check if they were alive, causing Usopp to be emotionally invested in beating this man during their Davy Back Fight
The way I interpreted that scene was that Yasopp sensed the Bartolomeo's crew criticizing how easily they got away with his observation haki. If they would have been more content and had shown that they learned their lesson, Yasopp wouldn't have done what he did.
Only because they were at zero honestly this really isn't impressive in any way shape or form he destroyed a ship in a single attack not too many characters in this story who can't do that at this point Heck even early on in the story that was nothing impressive
Hack Van Auger Sniping birds On an island that wasn't even visible To the ship those birds were landing on Is vastly more impressive and that was done the first half of the story
When you can blow up a ship with a single bullet, you can call yourself anything you want!! Take WB. Ain't nobody complaining about his beard, now is there??😂
A lot of people are running with the theory that the plan was to let Barto go if they passed the loyalty test, but Yasopp's observation haki was so good he heard Barto say Shanks was soft as they were leaving, so he took it upon himself to teach him a lesson. I ttend to fall under this camp, since Yasopp deliberately shot him right after he said Shanks was soft
Just remember, the last time an upstart got away from an emperor, Big News Morgan reported it as defeating that emperor, which lead to the upstart becoming an emperor himself. As an emperor, what would you do if that upstart's lackey starts messing you?
Yassop definitely made the call but Shanks could've stopped it if he wanted to. So he probably realized that it was necessary and trusted Yassop's judgment.
I think destroying a crew’s ship is a more meaningful punishment for a pirates crew than just being beaten up. I think it was said at some point that losing your ship is the same as losing your dream but I might be misremembering.
It's one of those Zoro told luffy that usopp couldn't just disrespect the captain like that even though luffy wanted to take it easy on him. Shanks let barty off bc his love for luffy but yasopp was not having the disrespect
One thing I find interesting is that this very well may lead to Shanks entire crew getting its ass handed to it on a silver platter as he did just declare war on an emperor An emperor who is actually defeated another emperor compared with Shanks who has had to hide from the other emperors for six years

I think that sinking the ship is actually Shank's MO. I think that he deals a kind of punishment that is equal to the crime, and then destroys the ship. Destroying a pirate's ship, especially in the grand line and the New World, is devastating even if it isn't meaningful like the Merry. Its like killing the doctor or the navigator of the crew. I think it makes sense too, it's basically saying "Here's your punishment, paid in full, if you survive then we're even, if not, then you weren't strong enough for this world." I really like the idea of Shanks as the "great equalizer". He's a celestial dragon, but a Yonko. He's kind, but a pirate. He protects weaker crews to keep balance. He stops Kaido to keep balance. He ends marineford at the perfect moment to keep balance. He could have gone for the One Piece at any moment, but chooses to right when Luffy becomes a Yonko, because he must equalize the playing field. I doubt that in their first encounter, Kidd didn't lose crew members. The Red Hair Pirates probably showed up, beat Kidd's ass for attacking their island, killed a bunch of his crew for all those he killed, and destroyed his original ship. Kidd may have even lost his arm from Ben Beckman not because Beckman ripped his arm off, but because Beckman was the one that destroyed his ship, and that caused Kidd to lose his arm.
I think another reason why bartos crew had to be decimated was because if they got off essentially Scott free while being a known member of luffys grand fleet it could make the government think the both might be allying and that might scare them into trying to stop both of them by any means like how they reacted when big mom and kaido were allying in wano
17:57 I think many people make too big of a deal of yasopp sinking a pirate ship. The only reason people care about this is that we know Barto and we consider him one of the "good guys". The Strawhats also sank tons of ships. Just remember Zoro on Sabaody when he slept in the wrong ship and just cut it down for basically no reason.
Basically this. It's favorite based morality. I love barto but dudes low-key a horrible human being outside of his love for Luffy and the straw hats. He's objectively worse than many of the random pirates we've seen dealt with before like you mentioned that no one bats an eye about.

The loyalty test might have been just as big of a test for luffy as Bartolemeo. Like Shanks measuring how luffy has been without watching him, thus loyalty test, regardless of outcome, goes first then ship destroyed.
This also could have been there attempt to give Barto a 30 second head start. You fail the loyalty test we kill you right now, you pass the loyalty test you get to try to escape.
There has to be a deeper reason why Yasopp left than just adventure. Maybe Shanks told him that the world would flood and he needed him on the crew. Ussops mom knew and understood he left to save their sons future and thats where the brave warrior of the sea dream is even from. His mom told him that he was, just not the details.
@21:15 Actually☝️, If you all remember at the very beginning of the egghead arc, Usopp’s observation haki was implied when everyone was looking down into the water from the sunny to see what the eluding danger was. Usopp was the first to see it, aswell as the first to run: funny enough, all while everyone else were still trying to see what it was. Revealed to have been the giant mecha shark: “vegashark 03”, just as it was about to swallow the sunny whole.
Perhaps his observation haki is so damn good that he can more or less see through objects like an x ray and he found the oil or alcohol barrel. Either that or haki bomb bullets.
Yasopp must've seen a responsible father that didn't abandoned his child on Bartolomeo's ship.

Well, that's hyperbole. He burned one building. Still bad, but not exactly razing it to the ground.
I think Shanks wanted to order Barto to "kill luffy" with fake Poison so that he can safe face without actually having to kill anyone. Everybody sees that fucking with shanks has consequences without anyone actually dying
It probably was juice or something Shanks used to mess with luffy when he was still “a kid”. Nobody dies, Shanks has a laugh at luffy’s expense and Luffy starts to take the grand fleet more seriously.
You know Shanks approved of Yassop blowing up the boat. The guy has future sight. Also, if he wanted to he could just go faster than the bullet and stop it lol
Maybe future sight isn't always on for people and plenty of things happen that still catch people with future sight off guard
Shanks did not give a damn ! Honestly their pirates 😂😂😂
@@yami122 I'm thinking perhaps powerful CoO cancels out other powerful CoO. Yassop is a sniper so is probably similarly capable in that regard to Shanks, if not more so.
I think the Red Hairs *would* have let them go… until Barto shit-talked that they’re soft. Yasopp and Shanks I feel definitely have the observation Haki to be aware that he failed to learn his lesson, so they had to drill it in.
I feel if that was true then they would have had a quick moment of the character perking their head up or becoming alert while looking at the ship before taking the shot
@@yami122maybe it was only yasop that heard it though
I don't think shanks would be that petty. In the beginning of the story he didn't even react to the insults of the mountain bandits
@@alihorda it’s not about being petty or feeling insulted. As Shanks spells out at the start of the same scene, it’s about commanding respect through his flag. If rumors spread around that the Red Hairs are soft, then his name can no longer serve to protect people and anywhere his flag flies is in danger of being attacked. This aligns perfectly with the very scene you are referring to. “You can insult me, spill drinks on me, spit on me, and I’ll just laugh that stuff off. But good reason or not, *nobody* hurts a friend of mine.” These are actions taken to ensure his friends are not in danger.
@@alihordaShanks wasn't an emperor then. He didn't have islands and pirate crews under his protection. Those people are under the protection of his reputation, the same reputation that whitebeard had which allowed Ace to literally fall asleep on an enemy ship with no harm coming to him. If it gets out that shanks is soft, then the people under his protection become vulnerable.
As a black kid who grew up without a dad; there's exactly ONE thing Yasopp could do that I'd consider cool...
What is that?
My husband being black and his father and grandfather that all black and stayed married to their wives my husband don’t understand. But I saw a white child that grow up without his mom and father and run across the NK border. But than my friend raise his black son as his mom was a die beat I completely understand the pain and hurt. He wait for his mom who never come by and when she rarely did she was so high it was mess up. He was cry evening being 10 years old. Now that cut and I begin to understand more. Look up the story about that white guy going to the most crazy place on earth as NK by running across the borders as he was former USA army. He found it better living in NK even though they never let him near the towns or cities. Didn’t understand deep child hood trama and being blk have nothing to do what it. There deadbeat dad and mom and some stay marry but pay no attention to their child the workers raise and take care of them. Saw one true crime case was the family was beyond wealthy either parent work but drink and fight each other, they nanny raise their son 100% dead beat parents. I don’t even no what worst. One you never see or the ones you see off and on both of them have no excuse not spending time with you and letting the nanny raise you.
Shanks told us exactly who he was back in the first chapter. Mess with his friends and suffer wrath.
When they fought the bandits on land, Higuma ended up escaping. When you sink em at sea they got nowhere to go.
My take is that the loyalty test was to decide if they would have shot to kill or shot to blow their ship with no active will to also slay the crew. And I'm also certain that it wasn't Yasopp just deciding on his own, it's logical at the very least wanting to protect your territories, and Shanks is a logical dude. Also more mature than he was more than a decade ago in Foosha.
Yassopp's "excuse me, could you move?" was more a "boss, it's time" than a "boss, can I take initiative?"
1:05 correction: what happened 1 month ago was Bartolomeo burning Shank's flag (while the Red Force is in Wano they discuss what they should do about him), from Wano they sail to Elbaf for the confrontation with Kid, and then right after they set out to Gartel island, while the Giant pirates go off to Egghead
The scene in this chapter has to be concurrent with the Straw Hats coming to Elbaf
Yasopp did it this way and Shanks allowed him to because they both understood 3 things :
1. They need to appear to do things like this to keep up their Yonko image and via that help protect their territories.
2. It gave the Barto Crew a chance to survive.
3. IF they did indeed survive, they became even stronger and even more fitting subordinates for Luffy. Haki blooms in battle and all that.
What I wonder if this is going to spark a war Between the two crews as Shanks did just destroy one of the straw hat Grand Fleet and as much as the main character idolizes Shanks i'm not sure if he would allow Shanks to kill one of his sworn allies
so in an effort to show that Shanks is strong Shanks might end up getting his ass handed to him on a silver platter
@@yami122"Shanks! You killed chicken head?!'
They didn't get a haki bloom. They weren't in battle
@@yami122that’s assuming Luffy ever hears about the incident
"Your ship or your limb?" Shanks' crew treatment if Barty Boy & Kid taught us anything lol.
i really didnt think ppl would be divided over this tbh, it made perfect sense to me why yassop took an action on his own, i always felt like the dynamic of shanks's crew was way more on an equal ground then other crews, and that if push came to shove another member of shanks's crew could take action
Regarding the ship annihilations, I think it's a willpower/determination test from Shanks. Are the pirates of this new era willing to scratch and claw to reach their dreams after seemingly losing everything, are they prepared to put their life on the line for their dream?
Yassop asked Shanks to move out of the way as his way of asking his captain for permission.
Usopp has a very impressive observation haki feat in the beginning of the Onigashima raid. I'm not sure why no one points this out? It's kind of subtle and isn't shouted about in-story, but it seems very obvious. Here: Chapter 978, the page after the big double page spread with the skull. The page opens with a panel of Sanji and Zoro talking to each other & Franky about how it's important they move fast because the enemy still doesn't know they're on Onigashima. The next panel is Usopp noticing guards that Sanji and Zoro have not noticed yet. He WAS looking through his binoculars, but when he notices the guards he's glancing to the side without them. He's noticing them with his observation haki. The next two panels are the guards like a mile away or whatever drinking booze. They're sitting behind cover and barely notice the existence of ships on the horizon. The next panels, Usopp has already headshot every guard with sleep ammo and knocked them out. The other straw hats say "I thought I saw people there!!" after it would have been too late, but Usopp just blows them off and doesn't even claim credit, saying "Looks like they're asleep! No problem!!"
It was VERY casual so I guess that's why no one noticed, but it's also to me a very obvious good observation haki feat. Usopp notices, identifies, and takes out a bunch of guards before Sanji or Zoro even realize there are guards with line of sight on the crew.
Tbh in my opinion the poison plot wasn’t a test for Bart, his fate was already sealed, it was rather a test for Luffy…what kind of does he allow to enact on his behalf, just some random dude or someone who is loyal.
People forget the type of Haki usopp uses requires him to be very calm. Usopp is far from calm he’s always scarred and panicking. He’s likely never using that ability again until he gets into a jam
I may need to re-read the raid, because I've heard a lot of people say Ussop didn't use observation during Wano, but I'm pretty sure he had a pretty badass moment where he sniped guards on a watch tower, before literally anyone else even senses they were there. Like he pulled a full "cool guys don't look at explosions" where he takes them out with a pop-green and doesn't say a word.
Sure, it ain't much, but short of future sight, observation isn't exactly flashy. It's just sensing things from outside a conventional sensory range.
I’ve seen people criticize Yassop for this incident by calling him a coward for doing that. Like they expect pirates to be some sort of honor bound order. They are pirates. This is a very pirate thing to do especially for a Yonko crew with their reputations to worry about. Most pirates are not gonna be like the Strawhats.
There's a reason Ussopp is a coward. There's a big chance Yassopp is as big of a coward if not more than his son.
Except the story just doesn't show that to be true
Roger Oden White Beard Are all shown to be above that
Honestly I can think of actually very few pirates in this story that would wait until the opponent is showing their back then kill them
@@yami122 Roger decimated and killed plenty of pirate crews. Squard and Shiki say hello. Any examples of “honorable” pirates make up less than maybe 1% of all pirates.
If you want to start using Yonko crews to try and prove the contrary I can do the same and bring up Blackbeard. Blackbeard is the quintessential pirate of One Piece. He’s duplicitous, cunning, ambitious, backstabbing, and cowardly. That’s a pirate.
@@yami122u named 3 pirates in a show that has 1000
The term "coward" only works in this case as a criticism since his son's dream is to be a "brave" warrior of the sea.
Either Yasopps Armament Haki is so strong he can blow up a ship with one shot, or his Observation Haki is so high he could find the gunpowder reserves aboard the Going Luffy, and land a shot several hundred yards away… on a moving target.
Eh I’m unimpressed, I felt more intimidation from Van Augur shooting birds islands away than I do from that dead beat. Augur felt like that’s what he did to kill boredom on a Sunday afternoon, while unless that guns special it feel like Yassop had infuse it with Haki to make that strong just to show the red hair pirates are serious business like we didn’t know that from Kid’s missing arm.
I totally agree honestly the story showed way back in part one of the story that destroying a ship in a single shot is nothing impressive
There's not too many characters at this point in the story who couldn't do that
honestly I feel in some ways because people really want the Shanks crew to be the best that anything the Shanks crew does is going to get overhyped a bit
Luffy is also a Yonko now and Bartolomeo is his underling, this would be seen as a Yonko crew trying to take territory from another Yonko crew which would demand a harsh response from shanks. If Blackbeard or the Cross Guild learned about this they might make an actual move against him to take territory. This could have seriously started a conflict between Yonkos which would be a world shaking event much like the summit war.
What i got from this interaction was that shanks likes Bartholomäus.
So i think the poison was a test of loyalty and by sinking his ship they are testing his capabilities.
Like, rayleigh swam through the calm belt.
They have to survive this in order to be worthy to support luffy in the future.
Yasopp: I will be waiting for you at the top of the World Tree for our first and last conversation.
Normal dads: let's play catch
Yassop: let's play catch, with explosives
Never in my life would I be seeing Yassop doing something let alone the whole of the Red-Haired Pirate do anything than in recent chapters as the year has progressed. It's very exciting
The observation haki so strong he see through the ship, finds their armory on the ship, and ignite it with a single bullet.
Bartolomeo drank the poison and passed the test so Yasopp went easy on him: just blow up the ship, put up a bit of a show, leave a message, then when nobody's looking, have the Red-Haired Pirates go in and fish them out of the sea and it's all good.
If Bartolomeo HADN'T drunk the poison, and had accepted the task of killing luffy, on the other hand? Yasopp would've gone for the kill. Only thing they'd be fishing out afterwards would be corpses.
I rlly like this explanation actually
Here's the thing though: Yasopp wasn't present at the test. Re-read those pages.
Beckmann, Shanks and Roux were present but Yasopp is nowhere to be seen.
Maybe that's just a coincidence but it's possible this has significance.
Maybe Yasopp didn't approve of the test; or even he never heard the results and just assumed Barto failed.
@@IamGrimalkin Could've just been somewhere out of frame. The whole scene never had too big of an establishing shot so there was plenty of space for him to sit down and cover the whole situation. As a sniper, he should be in the back.
Besides, hard to imagine he wouldn't be present, or that if indeed he weren't, he wouldn't be hearing the result from the rest of the crew anyway. He's one of the high-ranking officers, you'd think they would keep him in the loop.
@@BraceDecades
Him being out of shot is certainly possible (and probably is what happened if this never gets brought up again).
But right now, it's an interesting coincidence, that maybe points to something else going on.
But you have to get rid of Barto's fruit because with the barrier available the final battle would be kinda one-sided. Oden with Enma couldn't crack it, getting rid of that plot device is only logical.
My best guess is that Shanks knows as a yonko he can’t just let another pirate crew one working for another yonko burn his flag. The test was about determining if Shanks was going to kill this guy who wasn’t even loyal to Luffy thus helping Luffy in the long run or if Shanks was gonna have to do a little more work to keep these allies of Luffy alive. Bartolomeo passed the test so I think Shanks had them go then had someone or something else out there to pick them up afterwards. Shanks can be seen as tough and now Shanks can also use this crew who are supposed to be dead to pass secret messages to Luffy. As Shanks would know if word got out he might be allying with Luffy Blackbeard and the world government will mobilize way more as Shanks knows how worried everyone was when it looked like Kaido and Big Mom were allying. My one Shanks chess theory
10:15 It's easy: Had he agreed to poison Luffy, they would'0ve fucking killed him on the spot, because they knew that everything they did was of their ownaccord, and Luffy played no role in it. It was both a loyalty test, and "let's see if you dare lying to me" at the same time. And it was done with Shanks's ok, he actually told him "move so I can shoot them, please"
Everyone talks about Yasopp taking down a ship with a single bullet but real ones will remember how Usoopp took down two marine ships with one shot back in Arabasta
Yassop must've heard Bartolomew say shanks is soft from his observation haki and then decided to shoot him for that
His fate could have been a whole lot worse if he had agreed to give Luffy the poison. Shanks might have actually slaughtered all of them.
Everyone talking about the morality of Yasopp's actions while Im like "YES, FINALY MORE MARKSMEN/SHARPSHOOTING FEATS"
Bartolomeo burn 400 village before meet Luffy same worse like Kidd kill civilian non stop to conquer island also Blackbeard betray Whitebeard after offer home also protection after many decade
I know that we say that the Shanks and bandit scene was a good lesson for Luffy to learn so he doesn't end up like Kidd - killing people left and right for no reason - (and it was!) but their actions now could also have evolved from that. Shanks didn't take care of the bandits when he could have and the result was the village being bothered while they weren't there and Luffy nearly dying and Shanks losing an arm. Might be character-growth. (Though I do like the idea Yassop only took aim once Bart started thinking they were soft.)
I think shanks can’t really take anything lying down anymore as a yonko, since his image as a yonko is what protects the villages under his control. If people thought he was the type of guy you could still just throw bottles of alcohol at all those islands would be raifed
I really wish people would remember Punk Hazard more. Zoro knows all too well the consequences of not being strong enough physically and mentally and having a soft heart on the seas (Sabaody) not to mention when he says those things that make us go "Damn bro..." he's often talking to himself too. Remember the line of dialogue we got from Sanji "He's always so hard on himself" I think that line from two chapters ago might also be a little jab at himself for his reaction at wano when Yasuie died
The way I hope the Usopp/Yassop reunion goes down is Usopp being happy to see his dad, and tells him all about all the adventures the Straw Hat crew has had, and then Yassop asks about how his mom is doing and Usopp realizes just how negligent his dad is that he never even bothered to check if they were alive, causing Usopp to be emotionally invested in beating this man during their Davy Back Fight
My head canon is he heard bart call shanks soft and handled it appropriately
I know this is a stretch, but maybe Yassop heard Barto and was like, "well, we can't have that!"
He showed loyalty, so he gets to live(possibly) but ship goes boom.
If he didn’t, they’d just be killed immediately and their ship destroyed.
The way I interpreted that scene was that Yasopp sensed the Bartolomeo's crew criticizing how easily they got away with his observation haki. If they would have been more content and had shown that they learned their lesson, Yasopp wouldn't have done what he did.
Yasopp Stocks Going UP
Nah still a clown
Keep the agenda alive🔥🔥
Only because they were at zero honestly this really isn't impressive in any way shape or form he destroyed a ship in a single attack not too many characters in this story who can't do that at this point Heck even early on in the story that was nothing impressive
Hack Van Auger Sniping birds On an island that wasn't even visible To the ship those birds were landing on Is vastly more impressive and that was done the first half of the story
@@afromarco005 we aint talking about your parents here

@@toot1862 I think I'll call myself Bob lol
A lot of people are running with the theory that the plan was to let Barto go if they passed the loyalty test, but Yasopp's observation haki was so good he heard Barto say Shanks was soft as they were leaving, so he took it upon himself to teach him a lesson. I ttend to fall under this camp, since Yasopp deliberately shot him right after he said Shanks was soft
people really should not be surprised when the eventual meeting between shanks and luffy will be over spilled blood and not some ale and laughter.
Just remember, the last time an upstart got away from an emperor, Big News Morgan reported it as defeating that emperor, which lead to the upstart becoming an emperor himself. As an emperor, what would you do if that upstart's lackey starts messing you?
Yassop definitely made the call but Shanks could've stopped it if he wanted to. So he probably realized that it was necessary and trusted Yassop's judgment.
I think destroying a crew’s ship is a more meaningful punishment for a pirates crew than just being beaten up. I think it was said at some point that losing your ship is the same as losing your dream but I might be misremembering.
Chaotic Good: Straw-hats
Chaotic Neutral: Shanks ?
Chaotic Evil Black Beard
2:45 ngl, I nearly spat my drink out at that, lmao!
I think by one month earlier, Oda meant that Barto burning down the flag was what happened and Shanks punishing Barto is current events
Yasopp might have actually just heard Barto talking smack as well. I could see his observation increasing his sight and hearing.
It's one of those Zoro told luffy that usopp couldn't just disrespect the captain like that even though luffy wanted to take it easy on him. Shanks let barty off bc his love for luffy but yasopp was not having the disrespect
One thing I find interesting is that this very well may lead to Shanks entire crew getting its ass handed to it on a silver platter as he did just declare war on an emperor
An emperor who is actually defeated another emperor compared with Shanks who has had to hide from the other emperors for six years

“This is Business not Personal “
I think that sinking the ship is actually Shank's MO. I think that he deals a kind of punishment that is equal to the crime, and then destroys the ship. Destroying a pirate's ship, especially in the grand line and the New World, is devastating even if it isn't meaningful like the Merry. Its like killing the doctor or the navigator of the crew. I think it makes sense too, it's basically saying "Here's your punishment, paid in full, if you survive then we're even, if not, then you weren't strong enough for this world."
I really like the idea of Shanks as the "great equalizer". He's a celestial dragon, but a Yonko. He's kind, but a pirate. He protects weaker crews to keep balance. He stops Kaido to keep balance. He ends marineford at the perfect moment to keep balance. He could have gone for the One Piece at any moment, but chooses to right when Luffy becomes a Yonko, because he must equalize the playing field.
I doubt that in their first encounter, Kidd didn't lose crew members. The Red Hair Pirates probably showed up, beat Kidd's ass for attacking their island, killed a bunch of his crew for all those he killed, and destroyed his original ship. Kidd may have even lost his arm from Ben Beckman not because Beckman ripped his arm off, but because Beckman was the one that destroyed his ship, and that caused Kidd to lose his arm.
I think destroying the ship was apart of the plan. The loyalty test I think was there to determine if Shanks needed to do more.
The switch to one arm for the shanks impression was great
any time a pirate acts like a pirate the fanbase finds it ''controversial''
16:48 “I’m sorry shanks doesn’t have two arms” 🤣🤣
I think another reason why bartos crew had to be decimated was because if they got off essentially Scott free while being a known member of luffys grand fleet it could make the government think the both might be allying and that might scare them into trying to stop both of them by any means like how they reacted when big mom and kaido were allying in wano
"I'm sorry, shanks doesn't have 2 arms" 😂😂😂
16:39 peak attention to detail here
So if 1 bullet hits like a nuke imagine a thousand of them being shot at you all at once. I would call it Rapid Atomic Shot or RAS for short.
Yassop really said "I can't have him leak my location! I dont wanna pay child support!"
17:57 I think many people make too big of a deal of yasopp sinking a pirate ship. The only reason people care about this is that we know Barto and we consider him one of the "good guys". The Strawhats also sank tons of ships. Just remember Zoro on Sabaody when he slept in the wrong ship and just cut it down for basically no reason.
Basically this. It's favorite based morality. I love barto but dudes low-key a horrible human being outside of his love for Luffy and the straw hats. He's objectively worse than many of the random pirates we've seen dealt with before like you mentioned that no one bats an eye about.

The loyalty test might have been just as big of a test for luffy as Bartolemeo. Like Shanks measuring how luffy has been without watching him, thus loyalty test, regardless of outcome, goes first then ship destroyed.
This also could have been there attempt to give Barto a 30 second head start. You fail the loyalty test we kill you right now, you pass the loyalty test you get to try to escape.
There has to be a deeper reason why Yasopp left than just adventure. Maybe Shanks told him that the world would flood and he needed him on the crew. Ussops mom knew and understood he left to save their sons future and thats where the brave warrior of the sea dream is even from. His mom told him that he was, just not the details.
@21:15 Actually☝️, If you all remember at the very beginning of the egghead arc, Usopp’s observation haki was implied when everyone was looking down into the water from the sunny to see what the eluding danger was. Usopp was the first to see it, aswell as the first to run: funny enough, all while everyone else were still trying to see what it was. Revealed to have been the giant mecha shark: “vegashark 03”, just as it was about to swallow the sunny whole.
Perhaps his observation haki is so damn good that he can more or less see through objects like an x ray and he found the oil or alcohol barrel. Either that or haki bomb bullets.
We have seen this before. Early on we saw one of shank's crew kill a guy without shanks saying anything and no one made a deal about it in the crew
