What if he develops his observation haki into a sort of Jedi mind trick? Maybe temporarily cause you to see something you're not seeing which could cause you to target a friendly or a tree or in van auger's situation. Teleport to a place that's advantageous for ussop A man who's known for lying being able to influence you to see the lie that he's telling you
I love the hammer theory as it also falls into the idea of all ussops lies coming true, since it weighs so much it would make his 10ton hammer lies true
I love the mjolnir idea. I would love it to be like he just accidentally picks it up without realizing the significance and he just tries to throw it away and it just comes back and he just brushes it off as a funny moment then freaks out
As a usopp fan I've fantasized about this moment for a long time. would be really cool if when strawhats arrive on elbaf and theyr speaking to the king/royals or whoever being given the exposition for the arcs conflict, usopp is just goofing around in the background telling stories about his greatness to the giant kids, they are laughing/having fun then also start sharing stories about the legend of mjolnir which is in the room and how no one no matter how strong/great of a warrior has been able to lift it for over 800 years usopp ofc brags that for him it would be an easy task cus he bicep curls mountains for breakfast, saying he can even lift it with one hand then he grabs it and actually lifts it, and initially even he's slightly confused by how light it is but plays it off but there's an immediate shift in tone, the kids stop smiling/laughing, all the adult giants in the room immediately stop what their doing, including the exposition which stops mid explanation, and all giants are staring at him silently mouth and eyes wide open, in genuine fear and awe, ironically similar to a human seeing a giant for the first time after only hearing childrens fairy tales about them
3:44 Usopp was the first one to react and even run before the rest even noticed when that shark robot tried to eat the whole Thousand Sunny. He probably already has some sort of future sight. Luffy got it in the heat of a battle but remember Usopp has always been looking out for potencial danger.
Personally I think he needs just one power up: The world's best observation haki to completely negate Van Ogre's teleportation. This wouldn't make him a powerhouse so it keeps with Oda's declaration that he will never be one, but in a battle of snipers, the first to hit the target wins.
Or maybe just 1. Consider Usopp getting the paw-paw fruit. He would be able to sling highly condensed air. Which would make it almost impossible for Auger to target him because of his ability to repel attacks.
@andrewjensen1955 why would usopp get the paw fruit? lmao It makes more sense for vivi to get the paw fruit cause her ancestor had it and it would allow her to reunite with the strawhats
@youngsterjones it would be wasted on vivi causes she's a pacifist diplomate/passive aggressive.. if anything she would get Belo Betty's kobu-kobu no mi.
I like the future site theory the most. Since it only works when you're calm and collected, it would force Usopp to overcome his biggest weakness of being too scared. He'd literally have to force himself to be a brave warrior in order to use future sight. It would be a huge opportunity for character development.
I really really like the Thors hammer idea for Usopp I just don’t see him being able to have the strength to lift a giant heavy hammer like that but if it actually is like Mjolnir where you just have to be worthy to lift it can easily work
Can't beleive I have to say this but actual Mjolnir has nothing to do with worthiness. Its just really heavy. So, heavy that Thor has to increase his strength with his belt and gloves. The worthiness enchantment was made up by Marvel.
Which is why the slingshot idea almost makes perfect sense. Usopp beats Loki by slinging the hammer at him, but due to fate or happenstance the giants believe Usopp is wielding Mjolnir and hail him as a strong warrior. Usopp remains our beloved liar while wielding Mjolnir, beats the BBEG to prove he is a brave warrior of the sea, and fulfills both his "8000 followers" and "10 ton hammer" lies in one fell swoop.
I think the reason he was able to one shot the biscuits was because they were damp from the cold environment due to kuzan freezing the battlefield , even cracker was chilly so it might have effected his biscuit making skills on top of the fact that the biscuits absorbed the moisture
I doubt that but black beards crew they all have some type of haki and him being able to one shot something does make sense but ice could have some little effect but it’s not like Water or smth that makes it gets one tapped u need science for it to work as well
if they showed ice on the biscuits id believe it but i dont think cold weather would effect him that much i think sea stone bullets or just strong haki is a better explanation but its just cope since i think they just made an inconstancy mistake
BRO THAT MYONIR SHIT YOU COOKED UP WAS SO GOOD. LIKE ACTUALLY DELICIOUS. 10/10. Learning that there is a hammer that nobody can wield and usopp picks it up, and he just has it, and he shoots it and it comes back... I actually had considered him getting a hammer in elbaf too cuz I've watched one piece multiple times cuz of reaction videos(don't judge me please) and I've noticed the hammer thing, but I did not think this deep, hope Oda does though. But I doubt it man, I can't wait till there actually is a hammer, but fucking Luffy/Zoro/Sanji get it instead or some shit.
The only problem I have is that he said that you need to be worthy which is some shit Marvel created. The Hammer couldn’t be lifted by everyone because it was damn Heavy
Luffy only punches, zoro only uses blades, and sanji doesn’t use his hands. Ussops the only option. I do image someone will try and take it for themselves and fails
Maybe not mjölnir itself, but I can see Usopp using a mjölnir-inspired technique, some projectile that flies back to him. He has used trajectory-altering techniques before, with dials, spins and even self-redirecting projectiles.
There is another option: Usopp gets a gun. Or rather, he builds himself a gun. Besides being the crew's sniper, self proclaimed vice-captain, and makeshift shipwright, he always was a gadgeteer, an inventor, a toymaker. It would be fun to see him getting an upgrade to full on gunsmith. As iconic as his sling is, it always was a kid's weapon. Graduating from sling to gun would work as a metaphor for growing up. Not being a kid just pretending to be a brave warrior of the sea anymore.
That would be cool, but his whole gimmick was the slingshot, so I think he still with that idea until the end. The idea that a slingshot is harder to use and aim compare to any gun could show the uniqueness of ussop.
I think it would be absolutely sick if Usopp was able to imbue his projectiles with observation haki. That would allow an array of different things for him: he could make the projectiles seek out the opponent, he could get use it as a form of surveillance as well, or to even add to the second option he could be used almost like a video game support character and allow others to see what his projectiles see or what he can see, akin to him and Yasopp sharing their sight in Film Red
Tbh Franky doesn’t need something on egghead , he needs it AFTER egghead with vegapunk on the ship towards the next island That way oda can offscreen it and reveal it when he wants to
Usopp’s weapon eating a DF being a mirror for Zeus actually lends weight to that being the outcome. Usopp and Nami have always mirrored eachother in their progression. Clima-tact and Ginga Pachinko; dials enhancing them to Perfect Clima-tact and Kabuto; weather balls and pop greens; sorcery Clima-tact and black kabuto. It just makes sense for Black Kabuto to eat a DF. I thought it was gonna eat a SMILE fruit in Wano since that’s associated with Kaido and would mirror Nami getting a power up from Big Mom.
Great video! I think i read somewhere that Usopp was designed to be a relatable character for us viewers so there would never be a devil fruit scenario. Also, honestly, too many anchors is a risk for any pirate crew. One thing i was going to add is that Usopp is literally the engineer of the group -- to make Nami's weapon and not really come up with anything useful really since then is a let down.. I mean, why not invent lifejacket bracelets or something for the devil fruit users, etc. He's underused :(
Yeah I thought when Franky joined Usopp and him would start to work on engineering together. But all we've seen is Franky make cool vehicles or weapons for himself which makes sense for his character to not want to produce a ton of weapons. I just think he would want to give his friends an extra fighting chance. My one gripe with One Piece is that there are some little things that should make a bigger impact in the story than they did. Like Dials they are all over the place now for basic utilities like cooking and music but the impact dial and all the dials for that matter haven't seen much use in combat for awhile.
Maybe the reason Van Auger was able to one shot the biscuit soldiers wasn't because he is stronger than WCI Luffy, but because he is the only person smart enough to use seaprism stone ammo?
My take on the Pop Green issue is that Wano was foreshadowing his pop green development by showing that he needs to improve in specifically firepower. However, I think the advanced pop greens won't be because Elbaf big. I have a feeling Noland went to Elbaf, since he's been to Shandora and Dressrosa, two kingdoms inhabited by inhuman races. Using his pre-established connection to Noland, Usopp will learn off his botanical advancements and engineer or grow his own supercharged pop greens. Just a headcanon ofc but it'd be cool.
Whatever powerup he gets, it has to be something that complements his trickster nature. I guess its fitting that he's going to meet king Loki in Elbaf. I'm down for the observation Haki with future sight. Alternatively, a good powerup for Usopp would be a shift in mindset. Nothing too big but just him becoming more confident in his skills to outsmart his opponent. Its one of the reason why the Perona fight is my favorite Usopp moment.
Been typing this everywhere but the Van Auagr feat makes sense if we look at marksman like swordsman. Swordsman can cut what they want and won’t scratch what they don’t. If we add this logic to marksman then Van Auagr wanted to shoot Cracker’s soldiers but wanted to shoot Law rather than Jean Bart. If we think of it this way then it would make sense that a shot aimed at a human was able to be blocked by a durability beast whilst a shot aimed at a biscuit soldier would be able to penetrate biscuits. We also see Van Auagr square off vs Yassop so this idea that he can’t be strong because he was meant to fight Usopp just makes no sense to me.
my theory for Usopp's power up has something to do with his mobility... being the crew's sniper, he needs an ability to instantly distance himself from his target, either for escape or finding a better vantage point.. this would solve his weakness in close combat and boost his utility as a sniper.. maybe he could get this power up through some technology in Egghead, a devil fruit or maybe an animal companion he'd meet later in Elbaf..
He should’ve BEEN fighting like they do on Skypiea huh. He doesn’t necessarily need to use the impact dials but he can flame throw electrify shit even fly
In norse mythology mjölnir is just really heavy meaning only thor can wield it (groups of giants have been known to work together to move it). Thor in marvel comics introduces worthiness and the hammer being summoned back to the wielder. I feel Oda would look at the mythology over pop culture so it might not fit.
Never really thought of the hammer idea but you make a lot of sense. Not to mention that Usopp could just toss the hammer like a snipe shot lol i think it conflicts with Nami's electric abilities but it would be pretty cool and encourage his haki by feeling choosen.
A more accurate one would be the type of Observation Haki which Enel had,he could see the entirety of sky islaand and hears the voices of the living. Also if we're speaking of mjolnier(thor's hammer) we might as well mention the legend of Tuatha De Dannan,which Oda-Sensei took a lot of inspiration such as the D clan and other stuff,in this legend there's a great treasure that consists of mainly 4 things, 1st the Stone of Kings which chooses who gets to to be the king of Tuatha De Dannan,if i remember correctly there was this dude who's similar to Black Beard who wennt to that stone but it didn't choose him so then he destroyed it,but anyway the 2nd is a(i don't rememmber if it's cursed or saacred) sword which is supposed to be the strongest sword iin the world, 3rd being a pot that produces endless food from everywhere,and lastly 4th is spear that could hit any target from any spot in the planet,i think these 4 do reflect some aspects of all four of Luffy(with the stone of kings or the poneglyph in laughtale), Zoro(with the strongest sword in the world), Sanji(the endless pot or you can the the all blue), and Usopp(with the spear),all of which havving a symbol that looks a lot like Sanji's eyebrows. THINK ABOUT IT!
Bruh I can’t wait for usopp power up, bro use to get me heated first time watching op but once he masters observation I don’t think he’ll be the same on the edge terrified pirate we’ve been seeing the whole series, I mean the best way to use observation is when ur really calm and dats when the man him self will become “A brave a warrior of the sea”
Tbf I didn't go through the entire catalog of devil fruits to take every single one into consideration, but since its introduction I felt like Kanjuro's brush-brush fruit would be perfect for Usopp. I don't rly believe it'll happen (cries), but he could utilize it properly since he can draw well and is very creative, and since Kanjuro is dead it can reappear. It would enhance his current fighting style AND story-telling abilities while also making my head explode just thinking of all the new possibilities it would grant him. I'd.. I'd really love that
Personally, my guess for Usopp’s power-up is either a spear of light/lightning or a Thor like Hammer of lightning; I lean more towards the spear because of little details in the story I think hint at Luffy getting a sword from Shanks & a spear from Usopp 🤷🏾♂️
4:35 ok Sy you’re a great guy and content creator but what we’re not gonna do is call Divine Departure a fight. The eradication, extermination, even saying Shanks saw the Kid pirates is more accurate but a fight? Idk bout that one chief
In terms of matchup against Van Augur, other than having an observation haki, the upgrade that he can have is having the Paw Paw Fruit. Can match up the pacing and distance by predicting others movement.
If his staff did get a DF it’s should be the bombardier beetle. They spray a chemical toxin in the air. They use it for defense mostly. It would give him something that could shoot.
remember van augurs introduction..... he was sniping pigeons from jaya so hard that they didn't realize they were shot until like way later.... i'd say usopp managed to snipe that far only back in dressrosa with that crazy sniper shot on sugar....... he finally reached levels of distance sniping that van augur had in jaya when usopp was in dressrosa... it's not really farfetched to say van augur is crazy good, one shotting biscuit soldiers is crazy though. i do find a new advanced observation or future sight both compelling, usopp has always felt like the one who should've been the strongest at it in one piece for me, way back when we were starting to learn what it was mjöllnir, would be funny especially cause of the 5ton/10ton hammers he has used.... because as youve said mjöllnir can't be picked up by anyone unworthy so him just casually picking it up would be like those joke hammers going full circle and him finally picking something up that is actually super heavy but him acting like it's paper, instead of the usual reverse where he picked up something light but acted like it was heavy. i don't think new popgreens will happen, but upgraded pop greens might happen. pop greens come specifically from the island usopp and hercules was on during the timeskip, unless elbaf also has living plant life i don't think we'll see any new pop greens, but as you said there might be something about elbaf that makes things bigger so the soil being used to make bigger pop greens was intriguing. i think he will unlock his conq haki as like a final blast to defeat his final opponent, and maybe he at first goes to thank someone for helping him but then realizing no one was close or particularly focused on him and his opponent and realize that he was truly the only one who could've used that haki and finally views himself as someone great, as he becomes a conq haki user as for a devil fruit, i do think it's actually more reasonable now than ever, as you highlighted they are with the man who made it possible for objects to have fruits. if it's usopp or not though i don't know. i think it could be cool for one of zoros swords to get it and that elevating it to supreme grade. or maybe the general franky/franky shogun (cause it feels kind of underwhelming). or the sunny, but i wonder how that would even work as it's part way in water and if it would take away from big moms queen mama chanter as the currently only "living" ship.
I love the Mjolnir theory. Maybe Mother Carmel made it with the Soul Soul fruit and no one has managed to lift it so far. Usopp somehow lies his way to owning it and becomes 'worthy'.
Usopp really encapsulates the archetype of “Jack of all trades master of none” obviously he is a amazing sniper, but he also is a good shipwright, a good helmsman, a good navigator, idk if he can cook, he’s a decent doctor as we saw before Chopper came and he also is good at helping Chopper, he can even sing with Brook and tinker like franky. He’s clearly a very strong character who could solo anyone not in the New World. But in the New World he’s a tadpole in a massive ocean cus the New World is the land of the masters
I feel the power up will be advanced haki that lets him talk to his plant ammo. He has been using living ammo that he has to grow, so what about seeing through it, setting more advanced traps. Auger can move around, but he will never be hidden
There’s also the battle with Shanks I feel like that’s gonna be the last fight of the series Shanks is the only person alive we could reasonably compare to somebody like Rox D. Xebec which was Rogers last big fight it only makes sense Fr
0:59 because of Aokiji those biscuits were in such a cold environment it was like they were put into liquid nitrogen... Which might made them more weaker than getting wet You can confirm it by watching the clip where before Aokiji touching him he starts to get freezing 😎It was all to Hipe Aur 💀Ice Ice god!!!!
When Usopp unlocked observation on Dressrosa i thought there would be more emphasis on it but the fact we ve went through a couple of arcs now with no mention of it kind if bothers me. I wish Wano provided a power up to all the straw hats or atleast some understanding of a their new abilities. Wano was supposed to be that arc but fell through the cracks for a few characters Franky Brook Chopper and Usopp
one thing to note is that in terms of weapon projectile speed. Usopps slingshot should theoretically be much faster than Augers sniper because Usopp beat Frankys machine gun even tho franky shot his gun first.
Ussop having conqueror haki is the most possible thing because he said that he has conqueror haki that means he has he is not telling lies he is jusf preceding the future
The straw hats are super unique they seem to have all aspects in the world we’ve seen so far besides like a few races of characters on the main crew. Only thing we don’t have is an item that ate a devil fruit kabuto has a mouth so he should be able to eat a devil fruit. I think he will be the one who gets a logia type fruit something elemental to go with the pop greens.
I feel like usopps weapon can already eat a devil fruit since its weird venus flytrap mode can eat rocks and shit to use as ammo. Would be cool if he used that in the future and scooped one up accidentally.
I can see usopp getting a mental buff more than anything. maybe after spending time with the giants, he'll have a mentality shift that'll just make him more useful.
Hearing the Idea of him getting Mjolnir had me thinking if Vegapunk had a weapon that would mimic the idea with the user wearing a belt that the hammer would return to, or if Vegapunk could feed a hammer with some kind of flying zoan so that it could fly back and even fight with him. But as you said the likelihood of these kind of powerups are .....a Long Shot 🙃
I think it’s time the straw hats find a devil fruit. It’s crazy to think that in their entire journey to all these crazy islands they have never found a single devil fruit. This would be a great power up and could give them a super cool creative ability
Kinda agree thy should find a df all these islands thy been on and no1 found a df? But I don’t think usopp should eat it maybe nami but not usopp he has a lot of potential compared to nami Zeus can leave any min fr but usopp is just diff he can make weapons he can expand his pop greens and he has observation haki he just needs courage or his weapon can eat the fruit
13:34 not just tht i dont think usopp used all the pop greens from the island he was on idk how big the island was but im pretty sure it had a lot of different plants n I dont think usopp used all of them so far i only remember 6 pop green moves i seen him use 7 at most im pretty sure theres so much more
Idk about the hammer because it would be too much like marvel thor, but there could be a weapon with some of the characteristics of the hammer, like lightning or elemental powers, the weapon voming back to him and the fact that only the worthy can pick it up, and maybe the weapon could transform itself based on who it’s owner is and when usopp picks it up it becomes a slingshot that can shoot lightning, maybe fire, water and wind bullets and have a couple of other powers.
I mean I’ve always thought that if either usopp or his slingshot were to get a devil fruit is it would be a Zoan devil fruit being a giant Hercules beetle; just seems thematic to me, would suit the look of the slingshot as well as the “giant” aspect working well with whatever character development occurred in Elbaf
Mjolnir as a weapon is kind of funny when you think about it because hammers are generally a symbol of strength while mjolnir can only be lifted by the worthy (subject to interpretation) which isn’t dependent on their physical strength essentially making it an immovable object and if it’s used to strike someone they would not be able to withstand it unless they were worthy because it’s an immovable object
The hammer idea would be lit!! But seeing that franky didn’t get a leveling up ability after meeting his idol. I have doubt in my mind after him getting stronger
Well considering that quite possibly both the Adam tree and the other Giant Jack at the real entrance of the white sea are on elbaf, the island would indeed have more than one precedent with powerful plants
Combine a few of those ideas. Maybe mjolnir is a hammer that ate a devil fruit and that’s where it gets it’s lightning powers, ability to return to who ever threw it, the reason it won’t let anybody use it who isn’t “worthy”
To expand on the idea of Thor's hammer it is possible that there is a mythical zoan in elbaf. Now that we have multiple vegapunks they might be able to infuse the devil fruit into a hammer, spear or slingshot. Or there might be already a great weapon in Elbaf that has the mythical zoan inside, this weapon could be sacred to the giants and I don't think it would be crazy if the myical zoan chose Ussop. There is a myth regarding a spear that never misses (Odin's spear), it might be possible for ussop to get his hands on it and use it. Since elbaf will be a Nordic themed arc, I hope the mythical fruit of the world's snake is there, that could allow ussop to wield the weapon whenever he wanted and no one else. There's even a myth where Thor tries to lift it (while disguise as a cat ) and he can't. I think it would fit ussops character perfectly.
I’ve always predicted/wanted to see Usopp learn that giant attack, I forget the name but the one Dory and Broggy use on the goldfish and big mom always uses, but of course rather than a sword he would manifest it in the form of a super powered sniper shot
I don't think he will get it, but the paw paw fruit would be perfect. He's shown that he's willing to use his hands with impact dials, and it would offer a great counter to van augers movement.
Nah, hes gonna eat kumas paw fruit. Then hes not gonna use a slingshot anymore but instead he will use his hands to shoot the pop greens. He may also get an observation haki boost in which case he would be able to snipe someone from islands away. Additionally the paw paw fruit is called the nikyu nikyu. This means 2-9. Similiarly, luffys gomu gomu means 5-6, choppers hito hito means 1-10, robins hana hana means 8-7, and lastly brooks yomi yomi means 4-3. This leaves 2 and 9 as the only numbers in devil fruit names that the straw hats havent yet aquired. And yes i know that luffys is also the hito hito but that was most likely not odas original plan and thus i think its a fair to look past that. If we look at the straw hats ussop if long overdue for a power up and is the only potential candidate. Franky said that he would never eat a devil fruit, sanji refuses to use his hands, nami just got a power up, jinbes a fishman, and zorro wields swords. There are also more parallels. For example when luffy and ussop are fighting way back in water 7, ussop doesn't hit him with a punch, he hits him with his palm which has a impact shell strapped to it (ironically it kinda looks like kumas paws). Also we already know that ussop was ready to crash out over the going merry showing his dedication to protecting the ship. And we know that kuma asked vegapunk to program him to protect the thousand sunny during the timeskip. If ussop gets the devil fruit he would become very very strong as he essentialy has the same power as van-auger but with more utility. Ussop is very resourceful and kumas fruit is one of the most versatile in the series.
All of Norse Mythology weapons/powers might be a clue to all of Ussops future powerups. For example if you played God of war Ragnarok you would know about the dude Hiemdall that can see all. His sight powers coud be a hint to Ussop's advanced observation haki. Like syv said he could also get thors hammer or odins spear.
I think that Usopp will learn to use the Hakoku ability that Brogy, Dorry and Big Mom all used. It translates to "Warrior Nation" and when Brogy and Dorry used it they called upon Elbaf's warrior code when activating it. It would fit Usopp so well if he could imbue his ammo with this power.
idea for the augur fight: augur warps them to a barren island, and usopp uses pop greens to create a forest on the island, giving him cover to fight from, which usopp works far better at than augur. after the fight, that island becomes known as sniper island. hell maybe the grow up kabuto grows to enormous size and he ends up having to plant it on the island, leaving it permanently embedded there.. that could even be what he has to do to get himself back to the sunny after augur warped the 2 of them far far away personally, i like the idea of usopp getting armament haki but only for offense. he finds himself entirely unable to coat himself in it, because he has a fragile spirit or something.
Plot twist, Mjolnir does end up accepting Usopp as it's chosen one. It has a devil fruit already from ancient times and has been waiting for Usopp to come for it. I think it will also look weird for a hammer because it will actually look similar to his slingshot from the side but only he sees it because that's how he fights. And it charges his attacks with the power of thunder and lightning itself. It's the paramecia version of the Goro Goro no Mi.
With the Mjolnir theory I think it's the most likely powerup but I don't see Usopp walking up and just grabbing it. If anything he probably will encounter it and either try or just not try because he thinks he wouldn't be able to. Then when he gets into a major fight in Elbaf he ends up possibly running to it on accident or somehow near the Hammer and tries again with a new resolve. Then that's when the fight shifts to Usopp having a much easier time. He could even unlock his Observation first then have to go into a fight losing because he may have amazing Observation haki but he doesn't have much to compete with heavy hitters then bam his new warrior attitude allows him to use the hammer even if only for a little. He just has so much potential and has for years but is very underutilized it's a little disheartening. Especially with Luffy becoming a Yonko his entire crew needs to step up their game a bit.
You could also mix and match these theories. What if....and hear me out, what if Usopp gets Mjolnir and, just like Enma containing Oden's haki, Mjolnir contains the conqueror's haki from its former user. I feel like usopps lies only ever come true in a warped way (never exactly as he said it) so having a "weapon with conqueror's haki" could be a good bending of the CoC lie
Even crazier would be if Usop became giant. He is obsesed with them since Alabasta arc. Also there were so many talks about research how to create giants from regular people.
I absolutely love the idea of Usopp getting a 5000 ton hammer and it just being super light for him (b/c he’s worthy), but everyone else just thinks he’s super strong
I feel like the red hair pirates are going to train and then test the strawhats. And Oda had alot to do with Red and i think the haki types are going to expand. Im also extremely confident better plants is going to happen. I think the bean stalk from skypia was an elbaf plant made to grow instantly by a devil fruit.
I like the hammer idea but was curious what would make usopp worthy compared to others like shanks for example who would’ve been bound to try to lift the hammer
I'm hoping all the non-Monster Quartet Strawhats get a power-up before the Final War. Robin should definitely know haki by now and Franky needs some sort of Seaprism Stone upgrades.
There's a lot of potential powers ups for usopp and I like all of these ideas. While Oda has said he would remain the weakest there's just no way he's gonna beat Augur without a major upgrade. Also usopp was probably the best written strawhat pre timeskip and I don't think Oda will let us down.
usop probably use different kind of haki, more of sniper kind of Haki, not Predict but detects into the minute details like:How the wind changes,the Humidity of air, Gravitational pull etc
I really hope Usopp gets a speed boost to match Nami+Zeus Something like a mount or a hoverboard or a DF ability would be hype Advanced Observation + haki infused ammo seems more likely though

What if he develops his observation haki into a sort of Jedi mind trick?
Maybe temporarily cause you to see something you're not seeing which could cause you to target a friendly or a tree or in van auger's situation. Teleport to a place that's advantageous for ussop

usopp ofc brags that for him it would be an easy task cus he bicep curls mountains for breakfast, saying he can even lift it with one hand then he grabs it and actually lifts it, and initially even he's slightly confused by how light it is but plays it off
but there's an immediate shift in tone, the kids stop smiling/laughing, all the adult giants in the room immediately stop what their doing, including the exposition which stops mid explanation, and all giants are staring at him silently mouth and eyes wide open, in genuine fear and awe, ironically similar to a human seeing a giant for the first time after only hearing childrens fairy tales about them
Also it would play perfect if you remember usopp’s hammer and he now had a legit one

3:44 Usopp was the first one to react and even run before the rest even noticed when that shark robot tried to eat the whole Thousand Sunny. He probably already has some sort of future sight. Luffy got it in the heat of a battle but remember Usopp has always been looking out for potencial danger.
w
Sure. But that isn’t enough. Augr’s speed and range are too much.
Usopp’s body can’t keep up
@@greywarden5513 right! I think Yasopp might train him in Elbaf
Ussopp showed us he has observation haki or can atleast tap into it
Usopp is blackish, we don't fuck around with supernatural/scary shit, he dipped the moment it seemed like a bad situation
my man usopp gonna need 20 powerups to stand a chance against auger
Personally I think he needs just one power up: The world's best observation haki to completely negate Van Ogre's teleportation. This wouldn't make him a powerhouse so it keeps with Oda's declaration that he will never be one, but in a battle of snipers, the first to hit the target wins.
Or maybe just 1. Consider Usopp getting the paw-paw fruit. He would be able to sling highly condensed air. Which would make it almost impossible for Auger to target him because of his ability to repel attacks.
@andrewjensen1955 why would usopp get the paw fruit? lmao It makes more sense for vivi to get the paw fruit cause her ancestor had it and it would allow her to reunite with the strawhats
@youngsterjones it would be wasted on vivi causes she's a pacifist diplomate/passive aggressive.. if anything she would get Belo Betty's kobu-kobu no mi.
@andrewjensen1955 vivi tried to murder crocodile and she was boxing luffy
I like the future site theory the most. Since it only works when you're calm and collected, it would force Usopp to overcome his biggest weakness of being too scared. He'd literally have to force himself to be a brave warrior in order to use future sight. It would be a huge opportunity for character development.
I really really like the Thors hammer idea for Usopp I just don’t see him being able to have the strength to lift a giant heavy hammer like that but if it actually is like Mjolnir where you just have to be worthy to lift it can easily work
I thought luffy would go gigant and lift one of the giants hammers for a thor parallel instead of an actual mjolnir
You don't need strength just to be worthy. The hammer isn't heavy to ppl that are worthy its just a regular weight
Can't beleive I have to say this but actual Mjolnir has nothing to do with worthiness. Its just really heavy. So, heavy that Thor has to increase his strength with his belt and gloves. The worthiness enchantment was made up by Marvel.
Which is why the slingshot idea almost makes perfect sense. Usopp beats Loki by slinging the hammer at him, but due to fate or happenstance the giants believe Usopp is wielding Mjolnir and hail him as a strong warrior.
Usopp remains our beloved liar while wielding Mjolnir, beats the BBEG to prove he is a brave warrior of the sea, and fulfills both his "8000 followers" and "10 ton hammer" lies in one fell swoop.
I think the reason he was able to one shot the biscuits was because they were damp from the cold environment due to kuzan freezing the battlefield , even cracker was chilly so it might have effected his biscuit making skills on top of the fact that the biscuits absorbed the moisture
yeah i believe this
I doubt that but black beards crew they all have some type of haki and him being able to one shot something does make sense but ice could have some little effect but it’s not like Water or smth that makes it gets one tapped u need science for it to work as well
@@kuma6020 frozen things become more brittle that’s my answer
if they showed ice on the biscuits id believe it but i dont think cold weather would effect him that much i think sea stone bullets or just strong haki is a better explanation but its just cope since i think they just made an inconstancy mistake
@@yoda7518 true but the giant from Elbaf who helped Robin he’s still alive the manga explains it
The Kuzan animation was cold AF 🥶
BRO THAT MYONIR SHIT YOU COOKED UP WAS SO GOOD. LIKE ACTUALLY DELICIOUS. 10/10. Learning that there is a hammer that nobody can wield and usopp picks it up, and he just has it, and he shoots it and it comes back... I actually had considered him getting a hammer in elbaf too cuz I've watched one piece multiple times cuz of reaction videos(don't judge me please) and I've noticed the hammer thing, but I did not think this deep, hope Oda does though. But I doubt it man, I can't wait till there actually is a hammer, but fucking Luffy/Zoro/Sanji get it instead or some shit.
USOPP HAMMER
I highly doubt that Luffy a fist fighter or Zoro a sword fighter or Sanji a foot fighter would use a hammer
I’m Ngl this might even tie in with the fact that ussop was deemed a “god” a while back
The only problem I have is that he said that you need to be worthy which is some shit Marvel created.
The Hammer couldn’t be lifted by everyone because it was damn Heavy
Luffy only punches, zoro only uses blades, and sanji doesn’t use his hands. Ussops the only option. I do image someone will try and take it for themselves and fails
Maybe not mjölnir itself, but I can see Usopp using a mjölnir-inspired technique, some projectile that flies back to him. He has used trajectory-altering techniques before, with dials, spins and even self-redirecting projectiles.
There is another option: Usopp gets a gun. Or rather, he builds himself a gun. Besides being the crew's sniper, self proclaimed vice-captain, and makeshift shipwright, he always was a gadgeteer, an inventor, a toymaker. It would be fun to see him getting an upgrade to full on gunsmith. As iconic as his sling is, it always was a kid's weapon. Graduating from sling to gun would work as a metaphor for growing up. Not being a kid just pretending to be a brave warrior of the sea anymore.
That would be cool, but his whole gimmick was the slingshot, so I think he still with that idea until the end. The idea that a slingshot is harder to use and aim compare to any gun could show the uniqueness of ussop.
@@wwekings9505 i think he'll get a wepon that can transform from vegapunk. that way he can get the best of both world
Awesome take
U-Glock
I dont like him using gun, speak from Usopp fan, Slingshot is really cool weapon. Gun is boring.
Can't wait for Usopp to get his power up so everyone who doubts him will have a sh*t face. I will always love Usopp💜
Us usopp fans have gotta hold strong, agenda piece needs to realise its true god the almighty usopp
How one can't doubt him, hes so weak now, he needs a power up xD
@Correction_ma_boy someone's gotta ride or mfs would forget the charecter exists bro, oda ain't had usopp do anything of note since dressrosa 🥲
@@OrangeDPeelfr
I think it would be absolutely sick if Usopp was able to imbue his projectiles with observation haki. That would allow an array of different things for him: he could make the projectiles seek out the opponent, he could get use it as a form of surveillance as well, or to even add to the second option he could be used almost like a video game support character and allow others to see what his projectiles see or what he can see, akin to him and Yasopp sharing their sight in Film Red
Not going to hold my breath. Frankie didn't get anything on Egghead....no confidence Usopp will actually get anything worthwhile.
im holding out hope that dory and brogy will teach him more about haki or something
Tbh Franky doesn’t need something on egghead , he needs it AFTER egghead with vegapunk on the ship towards the next island
That way oda can offscreen it and reveal it when he wants to
Tbh some of the strawhats are going to have to get power ups or they won't be able to hang at the end.
The arc isn’t over yet
Frankie doesn’t need something like Usopp who is literally the weakest
Usopp’s weapon eating a DF being a mirror for Zeus actually lends weight to that being the outcome. Usopp and Nami have always mirrored eachother in their progression. Clima-tact and Ginga Pachinko; dials enhancing them to Perfect Clima-tact and Kabuto; weather balls and pop greens; sorcery Clima-tact and black kabuto. It just makes sense for Black Kabuto to eat a DF. I thought it was gonna eat a SMILE fruit in Wano since that’s associated with Kaido and would mirror Nami getting a power up from Big Mom.
Great video! I think i read somewhere that Usopp was designed to be a relatable character for us viewers so there would never be a devil fruit scenario. Also, honestly, too many anchors is a risk for any pirate crew. One thing i was going to add is that Usopp is literally the engineer of the group -- to make Nami's weapon and not really come up with anything useful really since then is a let down.. I mean, why not invent lifejacket bracelets or something for the devil fruit users, etc. He's underused :(
Yeah I thought when Franky joined Usopp and him would start to work on engineering together. But all we've seen is Franky make cool vehicles or weapons for himself which makes sense for his character to not want to produce a ton of weapons. I just think he would want to give his friends an extra fighting chance. My one gripe with One Piece is that there are some little things that should make a bigger impact in the story than they did. Like Dials they are all over the place now for basic utilities like cooking and music but the impact dial and all the dials for that matter haven't seen much use in combat for awhile.
Maybe the reason Van Auger was able to one shot the biscuit soldiers wasn't because he is stronger than WCI Luffy, but because he is the only person smart enough to use seaprism stone ammo?
That would only work if he hit cracker though
My take on the Pop Green issue is that Wano was foreshadowing his pop green development by showing that he needs to improve in specifically firepower. However, I think the advanced pop greens won't be because Elbaf big. I have a feeling Noland went to Elbaf, since he's been to Shandora and Dressrosa, two kingdoms inhabited by inhuman races. Using his pre-established connection to Noland, Usopp will learn off his botanical advancements and engineer or grow his own supercharged pop greens. Just a headcanon ofc but it'd be cool.
Whatever powerup he gets, it has to be something that complements his trickster nature. I guess its fitting that he's going to meet king Loki in Elbaf. I'm down for the observation Haki with future sight. Alternatively, a good powerup for Usopp would be a shift in mindset. Nothing too big but just him becoming more confident in his skills to outsmart his opponent. Its one of the reason why the Perona fight is my favorite Usopp moment.
Been typing this everywhere but the Van Auagr feat makes sense if we look at marksman like swordsman.
Swordsman can cut what they want and won’t scratch what they don’t.
If we add this logic to marksman then Van Auagr wanted to shoot Cracker’s soldiers but wanted to shoot Law rather than Jean Bart. If we think of it this way then it would make sense that a shot aimed at a human was able to be blocked by a durability beast whilst a shot aimed at a biscuit soldier would be able to penetrate biscuits.
We also see Van Auagr square off vs Yassop so this idea that he can’t be strong because he was meant to fight Usopp just makes no sense to me.
Or maybe he uses seaprism stone rounds?
@@zachcox94that would only work if it actually hit cracker though
I can see the hammer scene. "Sensie, whats this hammer doing here?" Dorry and Brogy just have Enel faces at him being able to wield it
If Ussop gets his own version of thors hammer I WILL GO NUTS! That is so dope - especially if he can make it come to him at will like Mjölnir
It was actually Big Moms Haki that Usopp took credit for, I believe while she was fighting Law and Kid.
my theory for Usopp's power up has something to do with his mobility... being the crew's sniper, he needs an ability to instantly distance himself from his target, either for escape or finding a better vantage point.. this would solve his weakness in close combat and boost his utility as a sniper..
maybe he could get this power up through some technology in Egghead, a devil fruit or maybe an animal companion he'd meet later in Elbaf..
He should’ve BEEN fighting like they do on Skypiea huh. He doesn’t necessarily need to use the impact dials but he can flame throw electrify shit even fly
In norse mythology mjölnir is just really heavy meaning only thor can wield it (groups of giants have been known to work together to move it). Thor in marvel comics introduces worthiness and the hammer being summoned back to the wielder. I feel Oda would look at the mythology over pop culture so it might not fit.
I’m not saying your wrong but oda has many references to pop culture all over one piece.
Never really thought of the hammer idea but you make a lot of sense. Not to mention that Usopp could just toss the hammer like a snipe shot lol i think it conflicts with Nami's electric abilities but it would be pretty cool and encourage his haki by feeling choosen.
A more accurate one would be the type of Observation Haki which Enel had,he could see the entirety of sky islaand and hears the voices of the living.
Also if we're speaking of mjolnier(thor's hammer) we might as well mention the legend of Tuatha De Dannan,which Oda-Sensei took a lot of inspiration such as the D clan and other stuff,in this legend there's a great treasure that consists of mainly 4 things, 1st the Stone of Kings which chooses who gets to to be the king of Tuatha De Dannan,if i remember correctly there was this dude who's similar to Black Beard who wennt to that stone but it didn't choose him so then he destroyed it,but anyway the 2nd is a(i don't rememmber if it's cursed or saacred) sword which is supposed to be the strongest sword iin the world, 3rd being a pot that produces endless food from everywhere,and lastly 4th is spear that could hit any target from any spot in the planet,i think these 4 do reflect some aspects of all four of Luffy(with the stone of kings or the poneglyph in laughtale), Zoro(with the strongest sword in the world), Sanji(the endless pot or you can the the all blue), and Usopp(with the spear),all of which havving a symbol that looks a lot like Sanji's eyebrows.
THINK ABOUT IT!
Some really cool theories, thanks for sharing!
Bruh I can’t wait for usopp power up, bro use to get me heated first time watching op but once he masters observation I don’t think he’ll be the same on the edge terrified pirate we’ve been seeing the whole series, I mean the best way to use observation is when ur really calm and dats when the man him self will become “A brave a warrior of the sea”
Tbf I didn't go through the entire catalog of devil fruits to take every single one into consideration, but since its introduction I felt like Kanjuro's brush-brush fruit would be perfect for Usopp. I don't rly believe it'll happen (cries), but he could utilize it properly since he can draw well and is very creative, and since Kanjuro is dead it can reappear. It would enhance his current fighting style AND story-telling abilities while also making my head explode just thinking of all the new possibilities it would grant him. I'd.. I'd really love that
Personally, my guess for Usopp’s power-up is either a spear of light/lightning or a Thor like Hammer of lightning; I lean more towards the spear because of little details in the story I think hint at Luffy getting a sword from Shanks & a spear from Usopp 🤷🏾♂️
Show your a real fan: Voice crack at 12:40 Seconds
Jon Bart looks like a rogue Biscuit Warrior 😂
I think the hammer ate a devil fruit of some kind and it believes Usopp’s lies and believes he’s a true worrier worthy of using it
If Usopp picks up the hammer, it needs to be that "oh crap I gotta own it" look
4:35 ok Sy you’re a great guy and content creator but what we’re not gonna do is call Divine Departure a fight. The eradication, extermination, even saying Shanks saw the Kid pirates is more accurate but a fight? Idk bout that one chief
If Kabuto comes to life then I can see him and Usop arguing a lot.
In terms of matchup against Van Augur, other than having an observation haki, the upgrade that he can have is having the Paw Paw Fruit. Can match up the pacing and distance by predicting others movement.
Nami will get mjolnir and become a literal storm goddess wielding the power of Thor and Zeus at the same time
If his staff did get a DF it’s should be the bombardier beetle. They spray a chemical toxin in the air. They use it for defense mostly. It would give him something that could shoot.
I feel you on ussop during the raid, was hoping at the very least he’d whip out some sea stone nails to try and give himself a upper hand in the fight
remember van augurs introduction..... he was sniping pigeons from jaya so hard that they didn't realize they were shot until like way later.... i'd say usopp managed to snipe that far only back in dressrosa with that crazy sniper shot on sugar....... he finally reached levels of distance sniping that van augur had in jaya when usopp was in dressrosa... it's not really farfetched to say van augur is crazy good, one shotting biscuit soldiers is crazy though.
i do find a new advanced observation or future sight both compelling, usopp has always felt like the one who should've been the strongest at it in one piece for me, way back when we were starting to learn what it was
mjöllnir, would be funny especially cause of the 5ton/10ton hammers he has used.... because as youve said mjöllnir can't be picked up by anyone unworthy so him just casually picking it up would be like those joke hammers going full circle and him finally picking something up that is actually super heavy but him acting like it's paper, instead of the usual reverse where he picked up something light but acted like it was heavy.
i don't think new popgreens will happen, but upgraded pop greens might happen. pop greens come specifically from the island usopp and hercules was on during the timeskip, unless elbaf also has living plant life i don't think we'll see any new pop greens, but as you said there might be something about elbaf that makes things bigger so the soil being used to make bigger pop greens was intriguing.
i think he will unlock his conq haki as like a final blast to defeat his final opponent, and maybe he at first goes to thank someone for helping him but then realizing no one was close or particularly focused on him and his opponent and realize that he was truly the only one who could've used that haki and finally views himself as someone great, as he becomes a conq haki user
as for a devil fruit, i do think it's actually more reasonable now than ever, as you highlighted they are with the man who made it possible for objects to have fruits. if it's usopp or not though i don't know. i think it could be cool for one of zoros swords to get it and that elevating it to supreme grade. or maybe the general franky/franky shogun (cause it feels kind of underwhelming). or the sunny, but i wonder how that would even work as it's part way in water and if it would take away from big moms queen mama chanter as the currently only "living" ship.
I like all your theories but I like the DF weapon plus, Conq haki plus, observation haki and the hammer thing.
I love the Mjolnir theory. Maybe Mother Carmel made it with the Soul Soul fruit and no one has managed to lift it so far. Usopp somehow lies his way to owning it and becomes 'worthy'.
Usopp really encapsulates the archetype of “Jack of all trades master of none” obviously he is a amazing sniper, but he also is a good shipwright, a good helmsman, a good navigator, idk if he can cook, he’s a decent doctor as we saw before Chopper came and he also is good at helping Chopper, he can even sing with Brook and tinker like franky. He’s clearly a very strong character who could solo anyone not in the New World. But in the New World he’s a tadpole in a massive ocean cus the New World is the land of the masters
I feel the power up will be advanced haki that lets him talk to his plant ammo. He has been using living ammo that he has to grow, so what about seeing through it, setting more advanced traps. Auger can move around, but he will never be hidden
There’s also the battle with Shanks I feel like that’s gonna be the last fight of the series Shanks is the only person alive we could reasonably compare to somebody like Rox D. Xebec which was Rogers last big fight it only makes sense Fr
0:59 because of Aokiji those biscuits were in such a cold environment it was like they were put into liquid nitrogen...
Which might made them more weaker than getting wet
You can confirm it by watching the clip where before Aokiji touching him he starts to get freezing
😎It was all to Hipe Aur 💀Ice Ice god!!!!
When Usopp unlocked observation on Dressrosa i thought there would be more emphasis on it but the fact we ve went through a couple of arcs now with no mention of it kind if bothers me. I wish Wano provided a power up to all the straw hats or atleast some understanding of a their new abilities. Wano was supposed to be that arc but fell through the cracks for a few characters Franky Brook Chopper and Usopp
one thing to note is that in terms of weapon projectile speed. Usopps slingshot should theoretically be much faster than Augers sniper because Usopp beat Frankys machine gun even tho franky shot his gun first.
Ussop having conqueror haki is the most possible thing because he said that he has conqueror haki that means he has he is not telling lies he is jusf preceding the future
The straw hats are super unique they seem to have all aspects in the world we’ve seen so far besides like a few races of characters on the main crew. Only thing we don’t have is an item that ate a devil fruit kabuto has a mouth so he should be able to eat a devil fruit. I think he will be the one who gets a logia type fruit something elemental to go with the pop greens.
Usopp only give us the going merry he did not much else. I feel like we lack of character development lately beside the luffy zoro sanji
I feel like usopps weapon can already eat a devil fruit since its weird venus flytrap mode can eat rocks and shit to use as ammo. Would be cool if he used that in the future and scooped one up accidentally.
I can see usopp getting a mental buff more than anything. maybe after spending time with the giants, he'll have a mentality shift that'll just make him more useful.
I love the Hammer theory & the DF theory but what if we combined them?
Hearing the Idea of him getting Mjolnir had me thinking if Vegapunk had a weapon that would mimic the idea with the user wearing a belt that the hammer would return to, or if Vegapunk could feed a hammer with some kind of flying zoan so that it could fly back and even fight with him. But as you said the likelihood of these kind of powerups are .....a Long Shot 🙃
I think it’s time the straw hats find a devil fruit. It’s crazy to think that in their entire journey to all these crazy islands they have never found a single devil fruit. This would be a great power up and could give them a super cool creative ability
Kinda agree thy should find a df all these islands thy been on and no1 found a df? But I don’t think usopp should eat it maybe nami but not usopp he has a lot of potential compared to nami Zeus can leave any min fr but usopp is just diff he can make weapons he can expand his pop greens and he has observation haki he just needs courage or his weapon can eat the fruit
Haven't watched the entire video yet, but I can see Usopp getting haoshoku haki. Making his words on Wano come true.
I could see Ussop obtaining an advanced observation that allows his shots to have homing properties, essentially counter Van Auger
I hope I’m still alive when Elbaf is animated 🙏
Me too hope😢😂
13:34 not just tht i dont think usopp used all the pop greens from the island he was on idk how big the island was but im pretty sure it had a lot of different plants n I dont think usopp used all of them so far i only remember 6 pop green moves i seen him use 7 at most im pretty sure theres so much more
Idk about the hammer because it would be too much like marvel thor, but there could be a weapon with some of the characteristics of the hammer, like lightning or elemental powers, the weapon voming back to him and the fact that only the worthy can pick it up, and maybe the weapon could transform itself based on who it’s owner is and when usopp picks it up it becomes a slingshot that can shoot lightning, maybe fire, water and wind bullets and have a couple of other powers.
I mean I’ve always thought that if either usopp or his slingshot were to get a devil fruit is it would be a Zoan devil fruit being a giant Hercules beetle; just seems thematic to me, would suit the look of the slingshot as well as the “giant” aspect working well with whatever character development occurred in Elbaf
Mjolnir as a weapon is kind of funny when you think about it because hammers are generally a symbol of strength while mjolnir can only be lifted by the worthy (subject to interpretation) which isn’t dependent on their physical strength essentially making it an immovable object and if it’s used to strike someone they would not be able to withstand it unless they were worthy because it’s an immovable object
The hammer idea would be lit!! But seeing that franky didn’t get a leveling up ability after meeting his idol. I have doubt in my mind after him getting stronger
Van Auger is such an OG. Man I love his character dude I want to see more of him
Well considering that quite possibly both the Adam tree and the other Giant Jack at the real entrance of the white sea are on elbaf, the island would indeed have more than one precedent with powerful plants
Combine a few of those ideas. Maybe mjolnir is a hammer that ate a devil fruit and that’s where it gets it’s lightning powers, ability to return to who ever threw it, the reason it won’t let anybody use it who isn’t “worthy”
Ussops gonna need AT LEAST a future sight buff to even fight Van Augur!
Usopp will have conqueror's haki before the series ends.
To expand on the idea of Thor's hammer it is possible that there is a mythical zoan in elbaf. Now that we have multiple vegapunks they might be able to infuse the devil fruit into a hammer, spear or slingshot. Or there might be already a great weapon in Elbaf that has the mythical zoan inside, this weapon could be sacred to the giants and I don't think it would be crazy if the myical zoan chose Ussop. There is a myth regarding a spear that never misses (Odin's spear), it might be possible for ussop to get his hands on it and use it. Since elbaf will be a Nordic themed arc, I hope the mythical fruit of the world's snake is there, that could allow ussop to wield the weapon whenever he wanted and no one else. There's even a myth where Thor tries to lift it (while disguise as a cat ) and he can't. I think it would fit ussops character perfectly.
Usopp is gonna finally become brave enough to wield the hammer
I’ve always predicted/wanted to see Usopp learn that giant attack, I forget the name but the one Dory and Broggy use on the goldfish and big mom always uses, but of course rather than a sword he would manifest it in the form of a super powered sniper shot
I don't think he will get it, but the paw paw fruit would be perfect. He's shown that he's willing to use his hands with impact dials, and it would offer a great counter to van augers movement.
Nah, hes gonna eat kumas paw fruit. Then hes not gonna use a slingshot anymore but instead he will use his hands to shoot the pop greens. He may also get an observation haki boost in which case he would be able to snipe someone from islands away. Additionally the paw paw fruit is called the nikyu nikyu. This means 2-9. Similiarly, luffys gomu gomu means 5-6, choppers hito hito means 1-10, robins hana hana means 8-7, and lastly brooks yomi yomi means 4-3. This leaves 2 and 9 as the only numbers in devil fruit names that the straw hats havent yet aquired. And yes i know that luffys is also the hito hito but that was most likely not odas original plan and thus i think its a fair to look past that. If we look at the straw hats ussop if long overdue for a power up and is the only potential candidate. Franky said that he would never eat a devil fruit, sanji refuses to use his hands, nami just got a power up, jinbes a fishman, and zorro wields swords. There are also more parallels. For example when luffy and ussop are fighting way back in water 7, ussop doesn't hit him with a punch, he hits him with his palm which has a impact shell strapped to it (ironically it kinda looks like kumas paws). Also we already know that ussop was ready to crash out over the going merry showing his dedication to protecting the ship. And we know that kuma asked vegapunk to program him to protect the thousand sunny during the timeskip. If ussop gets the devil fruit he would become very very strong as he essentialy has the same power as van-auger but with more utility. Ussop is very resourceful and kumas fruit is one of the most versatile in the series.
All of Norse Mythology weapons/powers might be a clue to all of Ussops future powerups. For example if you played God of war Ragnarok you would know about the dude Hiemdall that can see all. His sight powers coud be a hint to Ussop's advanced observation haki. Like syv said he could also get thors hammer or odins spear.
16:16 not gonna believe this theory cause it’s too good to be true😂😂😭 don’t get my hopes up
I think that Usopp will learn to use the Hakoku ability that Brogy, Dorry and Big Mom all used. It translates to "Warrior Nation" and when Brogy and Dorry used it they called upon Elbaf's warrior code when activating it. It would fit Usopp so well if he could imbue his ammo with this power.
idea for the augur fight: augur warps them to a barren island, and usopp uses pop greens to create a forest on the island, giving him cover to fight from, which usopp works far better at than augur. after the fight, that island becomes known as sniper island. hell maybe the grow up kabuto grows to enormous size and he ends up having to plant it on the island, leaving it permanently embedded there.. that could even be what he has to do to get himself back to the sunny after augur warped the 2 of them far far away
personally, i like the idea of usopp getting armament haki but only for offense. he finds himself entirely unable to coat himself in it, because he has a fragile spirit or something.
I like the idea of the mystical hammer the best. That would really reinforce his title as "God Usopp" if he was able to control a weapon of legend.
Plot twist, Mjolnir does end up accepting Usopp as it's chosen one. It has a devil fruit already from ancient times and has been waiting for Usopp to come for it. I think it will also look weird for a hammer because it will actually look similar to his slingshot from the side but only he sees it because that's how he fights. And it charges his attacks with the power of thunder and lightning itself. It's the paramecia version of the Goro Goro no Mi.
With the Mjolnir theory I think it's the most likely powerup but I don't see Usopp walking up and just grabbing it. If anything he probably will encounter it and either try or just not try because he thinks he wouldn't be able to. Then when he gets into a major fight in Elbaf he ends up possibly running to it on accident or somehow near the Hammer and tries again with a new resolve. Then that's when the fight shifts to Usopp having a much easier time. He could even unlock his Observation first then have to go into a fight losing because he may have amazing Observation haki but he doesn't have much to compete with heavy hitters then bam his new warrior attitude allows him to use the hammer even if only for a little.
He just has so much potential and has for years but is very underutilized it's a little disheartening. Especially with Luffy becoming a Yonko his entire crew needs to step up their game a bit.
You could also mix and match these theories. What if....and hear me out, what if Usopp gets Mjolnir and, just like Enma containing Oden's haki, Mjolnir contains the conqueror's haki from its former user.
I feel like usopps lies only ever come true in a warped way (never exactly as he said it) so having a "weapon with conqueror's haki" could be a good bending of the CoC lie
Even crazier would be if Usop became giant. He is obsesed with them since Alabasta arc. Also there were so many talks about research how to create giants from regular people.
Okay i agree with the future sight advanced but lets say he sees 5 seconds in the future, what would he do to avoid it? Run?
I just want to say that the biscuits could’ve definitely become more brittle from the cold
to add onto the conq haki idea what if in elbaph kashi or oimo get to a point there about to die and thats when ussopp unlocks it to help his masters
I absolutely love the idea of Usopp getting a 5000 ton hammer and it just being super light for him (b/c he’s worthy), but everyone else just thinks he’s super strong
I feel like the red hair pirates are going to train and then test the strawhats. And Oda had alot to do with Red and i think the haki types are going to expand.
Im also extremely confident better plants is going to happen. I think the bean stalk from skypia was an elbaf plant made to grow instantly by a devil fruit.
Lol you convinced me on the hammer. It would be perfect.
I think ussops obsevation haki is more on like byakugan in naruto. Like what happened in dressrosa… his winning style is outsmarting enemies.
I like the hammer idea but was curious what would make usopp worthy compared to others like shanks for example who would’ve been bound to try to lift the hammer
Another Usopp power-up...Usopp storing Bajrang guns from Luffy in his impact dials for future battles haha
I'm hoping all the non-Monster Quartet Strawhats get a power-up before the Final War. Robin should definitely know haki by now and Franky needs some sort of Seaprism Stone upgrades.
There's a lot of potential powers ups for usopp and I like all of these ideas. While Oda has said he would remain the weakest there's just no way he's gonna beat Augur without a major upgrade. Also usopp was probably the best written strawhat pre timeskip and I don't think Oda will let us down.
nice video bro!
usop probably use different kind of haki, more of sniper kind of Haki, not Predict but detects into the minute details like:How the wind changes,the Humidity of air, Gravitational pull etc
I really hope Usopp gets a speed boost to match Nami+Zeus
Something like a mount or a hoverboard or a DF ability would be hype
Advanced Observation + haki infused ammo seems more likely though
I’ve been waiting for the Usopp hammer to come back for so damn long
