Since a couple of the giants like Gerd and Rodo are shown with pets, I'd like to see Usopp with some kind of pet, too. An animal he can ride so he doesn't have to stand still when shooting. Maybe something like a giant beetle (which he totally should've gotten while he was in the Bowin Archipelago).
I want to see a reverse Mjolnir where Giants and other strong characters try to pull back his slingshot, and realize that Kabuto needs an insane amount of strength to use
I love this because I theorize that THERE IS a "Wild Wild West" themed island near Elbaf and that's where Smoker and Luffy will have their final showdown. Adding this would be really awesome for Usopp, and it's a great way to bring Baroque Works back into the story. Awesome theory as usual!!! 🔥🔥
TBF I *reeeaally* don't want this power up to be true. I agree that Usopp should get a boost to his combat potential that isn't just a direct increase in power. But mind control just feels cheap. I always liked the idea that, in a big pirate brawl, Usopp would be sitting at the back on a high perch and supporting his crew by shooting enemies with debuffs and small cumulative advantages. But hypnosis/emotional control just seems either broken, because you instantly win the fight, or useless, because Oda will find a way to make haki users resist it. I would prefer a closer Noland parallel if anything, where Usopp doesn't get much of a new power up, but in general just becomes more proficient and creative with the plethora of tools and experience already at his disposal.
Dunno why but just thought, Loki could be an Absinthe logia who can cause hallucinations potentially, which could in turn "cause the end of the world" (that people know to be real)
The Problem is People are expecting ttoo much from Ussop. But Ussop will always be the weakest member of the crew. Because his whole character is about Despite being weak He is still able to Pull through so much challanges. I believe he will become the real Sniper King till the end of the series. But If someone is expecting him to beat an Admiral Obviously that's never gonna happen. The powerUps He actually need are - 1. He needs an whole character development to be brave. Whenever he sees a stronger Opponent he Just runs away. If he can clearly think in front of a Stronger Opponent than He can create a very good Plan to defeat him. 2. He needs to master the same Haki technique He used against Sugar. 3. He needs to use Armament haki on his Bullets 4. Like you said He needs a better weopon and Better ammo. He already has great sniping skills but with these Upgrades, He will become stronger than Ban Auger or Yasoop.
1 - he already gone thro a whole character developemt and it's insane that you still ask him to have more character development to become more brave. there's no bravery without fear, it would be just recklessly. 2 - On that I agree, he must acknoledge that he's also a haki user and to fully start using it for his advantage. 3. - cannot do, you can't pass haki of any type to another living being, his weapon is alive and his bullets are alive. (Unless you talk about the method that Joy boy used with the strings) 4 - It's the giants Island, everything is huge in there so he would obviously get something soon, not only that. the vegapunks are on their way there too, so he will get an upgrade to the upgrade.
Tbh, Oda took away everything he accomplished for Usopp. Yes Usopp was weak. But he stood up, he stood in for his mates, and he was creative. Now he is mainly whiny and didn't even stand up to defend Luffys reputation, because he doesnt want to die. Didn't stop him when he was a way weaker guy back in Alabasta. I would prefer if there was just a few new characters per arc that get effective panel time and give the strawhats their growth again.

Sniperking is a lie Ussop told himself and the crew to avoid the guilt and responsibility of leaving the crew. The key word being LIE, all of his lies come true, you’re onto something with him becoming the sniperking
That's a lie that i haven't seen people talk about, and I like it a lot bc that makes me think he's gonna unlock armorment haki and potentially future sight. Things I feel like are needed for a sniper king
Now a new thought bc I finished the video, and he talked about the rainbow bridge. My guess is that he will get the human human fruit model heimdal, unlocking a teleporting type of ability like van auger
Blackbeard likely ate a Bai Ze devil fruit Its a creature in chinese mythology that kills an earthquake yokai and takes its power, it also has 3 souls and holds knowledge about a great deal of things, and has two faces on its sides, which explains Blackbeards jolly roger with the skull in the middle and the two coming out of the sides behind it Blackbeards laugh is "zehahaha" and if you notice, a lot of devil fruit users, in japanese, laugh like their devil fruit name, and Blackbeards laugh isnt "yamimimimi" Not every laugh is related to the devil fruit name but theres enough to make a connection about it.
Going with the hammer theory. It could be how Oda explains the devil fruits. Usopp uses a hammer and has a will to use heavy hammers and long range weapons so due to his will he will find a fruit that gives him insane strength but can only channel it through a hammer/ any other weapon which will also allow him to use more haki abilities to improve this ability as we already know you can train how to improve this haki type Idk tho might not make any sense
Ussop already ate a mushroom that poisoned him in his past, which he told sanji in chapter 46, maybe this gave him his lying hypnosis powers like Jango? It maybe her paint (if so maybe the sap from adam tree has powers like green blood/chlorophyll? ), but I think miss goldenweek's powers stem from her will/haki? Infused into her paint, a variation of the haki skill tree. The symbols maybe linked to Runes or magical symbols with ideas or words behind them like miss goldenweek's symbols? Miss goldenweek may have a teacher who taught her on Elbaph, who will teach ussop? The guardian of rainbow bridge is Heimdal, who has super senses like sight, which ussop has. Also in syrup village ussop stopped the black cat pirates on a narrow strip of land like a bridge going to his town, and sniped the bridge at eneis lobby. Ussop can redo this feet stopping an advancing army at the top of the rainbow bridge being its guardian/like Heimdal?!
I remember reading that Usopp made up a lie that he ate a mushroom and fell ill. I think that might come true based on this video. I'm early into the video so I don't know if that'll be pointed out lol
I do think there is a way for Usopp's Kabuto to get a paramecia devil fruit, because it is technically already a living creature. Being made out of a venus fly-trap type plant, it could potentially eat a devil fruit itself.
I think a shard of Mjolnir as Ammo would be a great powerup. Basically one really strong piece of ammo he can call back again if needed. Gives great shenanigans for the (originally) most creative crewmember. Great theory overall!
Insanely good theory! Made me think that maybe, after the world thinks that the Straw Hats were defeated in a future arc, Usopp will be projecting something to the whole world using the paint? This might be the straw hats waging war on the WG, paralleling Usopp burning the flag in Enies Lobby, but with the whole world joining in this time. Could the sign be related to the X sign that Luffy and Vegapunk (showed 10 fingers) both made in the newspaper, or maybe the D initial?
Imu is a water dragon and Ussop will have his slingshot eat the Thor hammer fruit or Odens spear fruit, he'll be the only one that can wield it, and it'll become a legendary weapon
Personally, like most fans, I think Usopp’s powerup will be a hammer; but in terms of how it would tie into his sniping, I see him either being able to aim & shoot lightning bolts with a Thor-like hammer, or likelier that he’d slingshot the hammer (like you mentioned) much like he did in Alabasta when fighting Mr.4 & Ms Christmas.
Just for note, Ms Goldenweek wouldn't be forgotten because she's up in the LA like many others in season 2, as for the rainbow there's the bifrost in norse mythos. this will be an Usopp chopper esq arc
Remember how he beat Mr. 4 in Alabasta? It would be awesome if, when it starts raining, the paint wears off, and then he needs to be brave. So, he picks up the Mjolnir, with thunder and lightning in the background making him look menacing, and then he uses the Mjolnir as a slingshot bullet-just like he did with Mr. 4. Then, Van Augur teleports Mjolnir to the other side of the world, but it comes back, traveling across the globe to hit Van Augur. It perfectly fits the theme of Van Augur trying to change his fate by teleporting Mjolnir, but it’s his fate to be hit; nobody can change fate.
Van Augur being hypnotized to become as negative as Usopp naturally is during their duel, through the use of color trap paintballs is my new favorite theory. its a long shot, but its just sounds too perfect of a scene with how smug Augur has been throughout the whole series.
thats very interesting idea. thinking a little about it,seens that the popgreens itself arent beeing used to their fullest potential,with crossbreeding and new species. About the Hammer,if the idea of the Mjölnir is to become real,it would be interesting to see it used in the Kabuto,turning it essencially into a stationary canon [using the weight of the hammer to give more stabilty] to use heavier ammo [and of course the use of itself as a closecombat when necessary]
tbh i don’t really want Usopp to get all that strong. I mean that’s not bravery then, that’s just strength. Bravery is being faced upon unimaginable odds and not backing down. That’s what i want to see from him, and we have to some degree before.
The Sniper of the New Pirate King should be able to blow up a ship and coat bullets in Armament. Maybe Usopp will subvert us but Oda has made this point very clear recently.
27:00-27:27 Don’t forget ussop has what he needs to make the bridge from jimbe taking the cloud seeder at the end of egghead as requested by Stella before he died to help with flooding and provide higher ground.
you really have the ability to make be believe the craziest shit, if you told me before this video that miss goldenweek would teach usopp how to use her hipnosis paint in elbaf and that rainbow ability could make a return of sogeking i'd call you crazy, and now its my headcanon
I think to go along with the paintballs, he should have a mask to show he is the true sniper king (maybe he gets it from the real sogeking from a contest) and acts as an upgrade to the goggles. Maybe the mask has illusion creation abilities using haki or maybe just a observation haki multiplier
I think Usopp main upgrade might be gaining significantly better command over his CoO, maybe by staying calm and being brave under pressure. I think op CoO could be very powerful for Usopp both as sniper and as strategist
Another hypnosis user is Porche from the foxy pirates. notably, she uses plants in the form of a bouquet of flowers to put her opponents into a deep sleep.
Similar to the Sogeking mask giving him courage he never had, I think he can also paint a mask or face paint on himself and give him the brave warrior courage he is expected to get while here. So hes still our lovable coward - but when needed a brave warrior of the seas.
I think he's going to get a homing ability to his shots. I think his conquers haki will be just enough to coat a bullet giving it the ability to track his tragets no matter where they go/teleport. No one seems to think about the most important part of the sniper king song "LOCK ON".
I mean, theoretically, Usopp could get a Mjölnir-like hammer and still make it about sniping. Imagine it's the size of MCU Thor's Mjölnir, so pretty small. Usopp could use that thing as reusable/returning ammo for his slingshot, that would be pretty cool. It also would be kinda stupid and funny, which is right up Oda's alley. They could even include some Odin-like enchantment to the thing, that only the truly brave can use this hammer, making it a symbol for Usopp's improvement on Elbaf. Or more fittingly, they could make the One Piece version of Mjölnir a weapon that ate a devil fruit. I still do think it is unlikely to happen, but it surely isn't impossible.
Fun fact: Usopp has a dislike for mushrooms, due to eating a poisonous one when he was younger. I believe he stated this while Nami was sick from Little Garden
I do think Usopp will get Conquers Haki but he can only use it accidently when he's scared enough. Also I think he will use the craftsmanship found in Elbaf in combination with his engineering ability to make something that will be a great add on to what his big upgrade will be
Maybe in this arc it is revealed that either sniper island does exist or maybe snipers live on one of the realms and usopp gets a major upgrade there. Like a devil fruit for his kabuto.
they never actually established that though, it really was just the fanbase making an assumption meanwhile we got a whole ass art in little garden to establish this as Ussop's arc
Not really. Vegapunk was pre-occupied with being assassinated, and Frankys Vegapunk upgrades already happened with the timeskip in Baldimore. Franky literally followed Vegapunks designs to make him stronger. Lol People just assumed future land = franky centric arc when it was clearly a way to establish Kuma and Bonnie’s relation to Vegapunk. And good, it was one of the best stories Oda has ever made
@@monke1599 I know there is no arguing with kids especially in the One Piece community. But if you think about where Frankie was send during his timeskip you would lay the connection.
Cool ideas! But I think you're missing the dials. Clim a tact got major upgrades for Nami (into zeus) so it seems to me usopp's dial upgrade will evolve. Maybe not haki infused bullets but maybe something comparable to zeus Ps I'm not discrediting your ideas, I like them
My powerup wishlist is: New Slingshot Pop green upgrade or ammo upgrade in general Observation and Armament haki(preferably advanced versions) Conquerors haki Kumas Devil fruit incorporated into his weapon Mjolnir
I reckon Usop nose will be his upgrade he'll learn to combine future haki with smell with either sensory deprevation helmet or his father will share a technique durring a davy back with the strawhats
I really want Usopp to learn hakoku (or ikoku?) it would be so hype to see him fire a hakoku from his slingshot and sink a ship on the spot. A marksman with the strength and courage to surpass his yonko crewmate father
The paintbrush on the end of his sniper! I'm betting on it. I had a dream about this so there's a chance it could be correct. I also dreamed about the Kaido fight years before it happened and even before I knew that One Piece existed.
Thinking it's going to be his observation haki getting kicked up to 11. Instead of the kind like Shanks, Luffy, and Katakuri that's sharpened to a scalpel, it'll be a shotgun where he can tell multiple possible futures and find weak points in things. It will make his accuracy go through the roof like the time he sunk a Jango and Fullbody's ships in a single shot on "accident". Usopp's whole deal is that he's been using his tremendous observation haki by accident i.e. telling the future on accident with his lies and smoking targets he really had no business hitting. On Elbaf, he'll learn to harness that ability consciously.
Don't you see, Mnolnjir is the new ammo upgrade. He shoots it with his sling shot and then calls it back to his hand to be fired again and again. Being able to fire mini nukes
something is up with that sword... maybe it can be a stand in for mjolnir and excalibur. maybe it can change forms, and maybe Usopp can wield it. highly unlikely, but I'd like to see it.
I think ussopp will get a very little hammer from the dwarfs but when he hits someone with it it does massive damage becuz his always had a way big hammer that didn't do anything I think this would be a way he can get stronger
i wouldn't mind ussop getting a devil fruit, it would nicely mirror Enes lobby where the cp9 got there's and quickly mastered theres. I could see Ussop doing the same, it would be neat and he desperately needs something bad!
Ms golden week or usopp with kanjuro or giolla fruit would be op af, ms gw would upgrade the power to a scale where she could synthetize all the special paint she needs to do all of what she can already do but quicker, bigger and more powerful, Kanjuro was ink based and used deception animals and weapons and Giolla only used 1 kind of art and turn things, people and herself into it, makes me want something different for Usopp like more science and magic based, maybe he could synthetize elemental paint, ammo and chimera arts based on his lie, I imagine the awakening of an art based df would be doing what luffy does to himself but to others with way more control on the literal character design than luffy did with the popping eye thing, or erasing part of people without killing them like law cutting limbs but here the limb is gone.
on haki i fully agree with you i think the fanbase has become haki obsessed as if oda really cares about it. I remember people saying that luffy won't unlock yet another gear or awakening in wano and he'll just get haki.... As if luffy has EVER beaten a major antagonist without upgrading his devil fruit abilities (Lucci: g2/g3 , doffy:g4 , katakuri: g4 snakeman etc. ) even without a gear update luffy still beats the antagonist with a new df move. haki is an enhancer it will never be the main course the fanbase is way too obsessed with it especially after that kaido statement (That bum also relied on a df in the end) Also another thing that the fanbase always do is underestimate how many upgrades a character will get in a major arc. Again 'll use luffy as an example people REALLY thought kaido was getting beaten with just ryou lvl 1 and 2 alone...💀💀 nah we need to fix up like how are we so conservative with our predictions as if this isnt the final saga. all this is to say im sure ussop will not only get a weapon upgrade, not only a haki upgrade, not only a ammo upgrade but all 3. p.s Dake you mention Yggdrasil and the adam tree as if there 2 separate trees its most likely that there the same tree i mean what other tree can literally make millions of pirate boats the size of LITERAL giants and still be around. Also yggdrasil most likely has a healing factor explaining how it looks untouched
An atlas beetle devil fruit kabuto mushi would make ussop improve so much First , even if he does get a giant hammer he shouldn't be able to easily move it around at high speed against van augur but; a beetle has the propotional strenght of 50 times its own body weight ; kabuto mushi can become Giant by simply dropping some water on it 2nd kabuto mushi having an atlas beetle fruit would make it able to fly ; making ussop hit and run antics much *much* MUCH bigger ; 3 dimentional hide and seek ussop its unbeateable with how much his pop greens can alter the terrain and you can't say observation haki doesnt help up on that , because popgreens are alive and thus ussop can camuflage between multitudes of opponents that may or may not be stronger or have the same aura as him (aka perona gag scene of ussop being inmune but with him being like a plant). 3rd bombarment beetles have this abilities to shoot out giant spits of water Atlas beetles dont do this , but this is one piece and triceratops can fly on the air for literally no reason so it wouldn't be weird that a beetle from 1 species can do smth from another . Wich means ussop can not only get people confuse on who is attacking but misdirect on how big his actual weapon is. 4. Given that this beetle can absorb water devil fruit users may get one shot if the attlas kabuto mushi eats them. Or atleast they would get inmobilize and throw away all their atention to defeating the kabuto mushi ignoring ussop and his fire power.
Love the video but no. The biggest mistake of Oda was having Sanji destroy his raidsuit. The raidsuit would have been PERFECT for Usopp to add to his arsenal. -Enhances Durability (Usopp would benefit greatly from it, as he wouldn't need to feel like running away) -Enhances speed and grants flight with jet boosters (Usopp was always able to make use of his speed and agility in fights when running away but now he is faster and can easily gain vantage points with flight) -Stealth Camoflauge (perfect for any Sniper to not be detected. Imagine Usopp setting up traps while invisible and setting off a chain reaction) -Cape Shield (Perfect for reflecting shots from other snipers) -Superhero Aesthetic (Usopp already has Sogeking persona. Stealth Black Sogeking is literally perfect)
This made me think, what if Loki is both a villain AND a hero? There’s been a lot of discussion around whether Loki is evil or good but what if he is technically both? You see, Loki is a trickster god, he’s supposed to be incredibly mischievous, BUT the giants knew he was evil and worked together to chain him up. UNLESS, this was all part of Loki’s plan, he played the villain, he purposefully acted like such a great threat in order for all the giants to hate him because it was necessary to eventually save the world. Similar to the theory of Luffy destroying Fishman Island but also destroying the Red Line in order to bring the entire world together I think Loki decided to become the greatest villain the giants have ever known in order to unite them together so that they stop fighting each other (like Dorry and Brogy) and instead focus on greater threats like the World Government.
Imagine how hype it would be if Soge King came back to inspire Usopp to be a brave warrior of the sea just like him.

Going with the hammer theory.
It could be how Oda explains the devil fruits.
Usopp uses a hammer and has a will to use heavy hammers and long range weapons so due to his will he will find a fruit that gives him insane strength but can only channel it through a hammer/ any other weapon which will also allow him to use more haki abilities to improve this ability as we already know you can train how to improve this haki type
Idk tho might not make any sense
This is a great take. Usopp already ate a mushroom. He said taste really bad and now he refuses to eat anymore.
Good job as always Dak 😁.
Ussop already ate a mushroom that poisoned him in his past, which he told sanji in chapter 46, maybe this gave him his lying hypnosis powers like Jango?
It maybe her paint (if so maybe the sap from adam tree has powers like green blood/chlorophyll? ), but I think miss goldenweek's powers stem from her will/haki? Infused into her paint, a variation of the haki skill tree. The symbols maybe linked to Runes or magical symbols with ideas or words behind them like miss goldenweek's symbols? Miss goldenweek may have a teacher who taught her on Elbaph, who will teach ussop?
The guardian of rainbow bridge is Heimdal, who has super senses like sight, which ussop has. Also in syrup village ussop stopped the black cat pirates on a narrow strip of land like a bridge going to his town, and sniped the bridge at eneis lobby. Ussop can redo this feet stopping an advancing army at the top of the rainbow bridge being its guardian/like Heimdal?!
This is probably the best theory you've ever made Dak, props.
He is back cookin
I really hope it’s an upgrade to his goggles, like Odin’s eye of wisdom to know everything that is happening in the world
uusop is the batman of the group ... no superpowers but really resourceful
God dude you hit my One Piece vein sooooooo good. Keep em coming. Appreciate you.
I remember reading that Usopp made up a lie that he ate a mushroom and fell ill. I think that might come true based on this video. I'm early into the video so I don't know if that'll be pointed out lol
It's either something he made up or happened before he met the strawhats
I do think there is a way for Usopp's Kabuto to get a paramecia devil fruit, because it is technically already a living creature. Being made out of a venus fly-trap type plant, it could potentially eat a devil fruit itself.
Dak is that guy.
I think a shard of Mjolnir as Ammo would be a great powerup. Basically one really strong piece of ammo he can call back again if needed. Gives great shenanigans for the (originally) most creative crewmember.
Great theory overall!
Insanely good theory! Made me think that maybe, after the world thinks that the Straw Hats were defeated in a future arc, Usopp will be projecting something to the whole world using the paint? This might be the straw hats waging war on the WG, paralleling Usopp burning the flag in Enies Lobby, but with the whole world joining in this time.
Could the sign be related to the X sign that Luffy and Vegapunk (showed 10 fingers) both made in the newspaper, or maybe the D initial?
imagine that one norse legend of the ring that infinitely duplicates itself, infinite ammo
The theory that Soge King and Usopp are one and the same person has always amused me.
keep the vids coming boi
This was such a fun theory haha
But I don't think this is gonna happen...
Dak this video kicked ass. Very good stuff.
You know what a paint brush would signify in the hand of Nika? Imagination aka Dream!
Imu is a water dragon and Ussop will have his slingshot eat the Thor hammer fruit or Odens spear fruit, he'll be the only one that can wield it, and it'll become a legendary weapon
Usopp power up theories will never stop until oda will do something about it.😂
Personally, like most fans, I think Usopp’s powerup will be a hammer; but in terms of how it would tie into his sniping, I see him either being able to aim & shoot lightning bolts with a Thor-like hammer, or likelier that he’d slingshot the hammer (like you mentioned) much like he did in Alabasta when fighting Mr.4 & Ms Christmas.
Ussop getting Kanjuro fruit would be sick 🔥🔥
Just for note, Ms Goldenweek wouldn't be forgotten because she's up in the LA like many others in season 2, as for the rainbow there's the bifrost in norse mythos. this will be an Usopp chopper esq arc
I dont even care for a huge power up I just want Usopp to realize he is a GOAT MAN
Remember how he beat Mr. 4 in Alabasta? It would be awesome if, when it starts raining, the paint wears off, and then he needs to be brave. So, he picks up the Mjolnir, with thunder and lightning in the background making him look menacing, and then he uses the Mjolnir as a slingshot bullet-just like he did with Mr. 4. Then, Van Augur teleports Mjolnir to the other side of the world, but it comes back, traveling across the globe to hit Van Augur. It perfectly fits the theme of Van Augur trying to change his fate by teleporting Mjolnir, but it’s his fate to be hit; nobody can change fate.
Amazing
This was a really cool theory man
Van Augur being hypnotized to become as negative as Usopp naturally is during their duel, through the use of color trap paintballs is my new favorite theory.
its a long shot, but its just sounds too perfect of a scene with how smug Augur has been throughout the whole series.
thats very interesting idea. thinking a little about it,seens that the popgreens itself arent beeing used to their fullest potential,with crossbreeding and new species. About the Hammer,if the idea of the Mjölnir is to become real,it would be interesting to see it used in the Kabuto,turning it essencially into a stationary canon [using the weight of the hammer to give more stabilty] to use heavier ammo [and of course the use of itself as a closecombat when necessary]
tbh i don’t really want Usopp to get all that strong. I mean that’s not bravery then, that’s just strength. Bravery is being faced upon unimaginable odds and not backing down. That’s what i want to see from him, and we have to some degree before.
The Sniper of the New Pirate King should be able to blow up a ship and coat bullets in Armament. Maybe Usopp will subvert us but Oda has made this point very clear recently.
I did think this was far fetched. But man once you mentioned miss golden week being shown during the Vegapunk broadcast.... You might be cookin
I really love this Ussop theory .
Seems almost kinda certain ❤
27:00-27:27 Don’t forget ussop has what he needs to make the bridge from jimbe taking the cloud seeder at the end of egghead as requested by Stella before he died to help with flooding and provide higher ground.
you really have the ability to make be believe the craziest shit, if you told me before this video that miss goldenweek would teach usopp how to use her hipnosis paint in elbaf and that rainbow ability could make a return of sogeking i'd call you crazy, and now its my headcanon
10:49 didn’t Ussop also eat a mushroom when he was a kid?
"special attack, green fairy" and just shoots a bottle of absinthe into his enemy's mouth
I think to go along with the paintballs, he should have a mask to show he is the true sniper king (maybe he gets it from the real sogeking from a contest) and acts as an upgrade to the goggles. Maybe the mask has illusion creation abilities using haki or maybe just a observation haki multiplier
I think Usopp main upgrade might be gaining significantly better command over his CoO, maybe by staying calm and being brave under pressure. I think op CoO could be very powerful for Usopp both as sniper and as strategist
Love the idea of paint balls. Hypno paint balls is INSANELY COOL
Slight correction. Sanji didnt want to wat bugs he wanted to their honey. Officials were very different.
I had wished that someone would ask a question to oda regarding usopp's power up in the latest SBS!
Another hypnosis user is Porche from the foxy pirates. notably, she uses plants in the form of a bouquet of flowers to put her opponents into a deep sleep.
Similar to the Sogeking mask giving him courage he never had, I think he can also paint a mask or face paint on himself and give him the brave warrior courage he is expected to get while here. So hes still our lovable coward - but when needed a brave warrior of the seas.
Even better, would be if this appeared to work - but later we find out it didn’t actually work, and it was just him all along.
I think he's going to get a homing ability to his shots. I think his conquers haki will be just enough to coat a bullet giving it the ability to track his tragets no matter where they go/teleport. No one seems to think about the most important part of the sniper king song "LOCK ON".
I mean, theoretically, Usopp could get a Mjölnir-like hammer and still make it about sniping.
Imagine it's the size of MCU Thor's Mjölnir, so pretty small. Usopp could use that thing as reusable/returning ammo for his slingshot, that would be pretty cool. It also would be kinda stupid and funny, which is right up Oda's alley.
They could even include some Odin-like enchantment to the thing, that only the truly brave can use this hammer, making it a symbol for Usopp's improvement on Elbaf. Or more fittingly, they could make the One Piece version of Mjölnir a weapon that ate a devil fruit.
I still do think it is unlikely to happen, but it surely isn't impossible.
With what you said about Baroques Works agents returning I hope we see Mr. 6 & Ms. Mothers Day for the under the flag of the Cross Guild
+17:26 Vacation Island looks like Beta Elbaf
one of the coolest theories ive eveerr seen
Fun fact: Usopp has a dislike for mushrooms, due to eating a poisonous one when he was younger. I believe he stated this while Nami was sick from Little Garden
I do think Usopp will get Conquers Haki but he can only use it accidently when he's scared enough. Also I think he will use the craftsmanship found in Elbaf in combination with his engineering ability to make something that will be a great add on to what his big upgrade will be
Maybe in this arc it is revealed that either sniper island does exist or maybe snipers live on one of the realms and usopp gets a major upgrade there. Like a devil fruit for his kabuto.
I wouldnt get my hopes up. Egghead was supposed to be Frankies arc and he just got offscreened.
they never actually established that though, it really was just the fanbase making an assumption
meanwhile we got a whole ass art in little garden to establish this as Ussop's arc
Not really. Vegapunk was pre-occupied with being assassinated, and Frankys Vegapunk upgrades already happened with the timeskip in Baldimore. Franky literally followed Vegapunks designs to make him stronger. Lol
People just assumed future land = franky centric arc when it was clearly a way to establish Kuma and Bonnie’s relation to Vegapunk. And good, it was one of the best stories Oda has ever made
@@monke1599they never actually established it huh?
@@shaun1114 yeah
franky was set up to admire vegapunk but it wasnt a huge thing, there was never anything to imply this would be a franky centric arc
@@monke1599 I know there is no arguing with kids especially in the One Piece community. But if you think about where Frankie was send during his timeskip you would lay the connection.
Mrs Goldenweek is one of my friend's favorite character so I hope this happens for them.
Cool ideas! But I think you're missing the dials. Clim a tact got major upgrades for Nami (into zeus) so it seems to me usopp's dial upgrade will evolve. Maybe not haki infused bullets but maybe something comparable to zeus
Ps I'm not discrediting your ideas, I like them
My powerup wishlist is:
New Slingshot
Pop green upgrade or ammo upgrade in general
Observation and Armament haki(preferably advanced versions)
Conquerors haki
Kumas Devil fruit incorporated into his weapon
Mjolnir
I reckon Usop nose will be his upgrade he'll learn to combine future haki with smell with either sensory deprevation helmet or his father will share a technique durring a davy back with the strawhats
I like your creative way of thinking funny internet man
I really want Usopp to learn hakoku (or ikoku?) it would be so hype to see him fire a hakoku from his slingshot and sink a ship on the spot. A marksman with the strength and courage to surpass his yonko crewmate father
Since none of the crew have eaten a devil fruit, it would be awesome to see him get a devil fruit that's important to the giants
The paintbrush on the end of his sniper! I'm betting on it. I had a dream about this so there's a chance it could be correct. I also dreamed about the Kaido fight years before it happened and even before I knew that One Piece existed.
Thinking it's going to be his observation haki getting kicked up to 11. Instead of the kind like Shanks, Luffy, and Katakuri that's sharpened to a scalpel, it'll be a shotgun where he can tell multiple possible futures and find weak points in things. It will make his accuracy go through the roof like the time he sunk a Jango and Fullbody's ships in a single shot on "accident". Usopp's whole deal is that he's been using his tremendous observation haki by accident i.e. telling the future on accident with his lies and smoking targets he really had no business hitting. On Elbaf, he'll learn to harness that ability consciously.
Don't you see, Mnolnjir is the new ammo upgrade. He shoots it with his sling shot and then calls it back to his hand to be fired again and again. Being able to fire mini nukes
Canonically, mushrooms are Usopp’s most hated Food
We’ve seen objects like swords possess a devil fruit, imagine he feeds his kabuto a devil fruit 👀
something is up with that sword... maybe it can be a stand in for mjolnir and excalibur. maybe it can change forms, and maybe Usopp can wield it. highly unlikely, but I'd like to see it.
I think ussopp will get a very little hammer from the dwarfs but when he hits someone with it it does massive damage becuz his always had a way big hammer that didn't do anything I think this would be a way he can get stronger
If Yggdrisil falls then Usopp might be able to take a branch and graft it onto one of Nami's mikan trees.
i wouldn't mind ussop getting a devil fruit, it would nicely mirror Enes lobby where the cp9 got there's and quickly mastered theres. I could see Ussop doing the same, it would be neat and he desperately needs something bad!
This really reminds me of "Zoro will defeat Kaido"
Not happening
Usopp will not even have a good moment in Elbaf.
Did anyone else notice he didn't mention Zoro improving his haki, as well as his abilities, just him getting new swords?
Ms golden week or usopp with kanjuro or giolla fruit would be op af, ms gw would upgrade the power to a scale where she could synthetize all the special paint she needs to do all of what she can already do but quicker, bigger and more powerful,
Kanjuro was ink based and used deception animals and weapons and Giolla only used 1 kind of art and turn things, people and herself into it,
makes me want something different for Usopp like more science and magic based, maybe he could synthetize elemental paint, ammo and chimera arts based on his lie,
I imagine the awakening of an art based df would be doing what luffy does to himself but to others with way more control on the literal character design than luffy did with the popping eye thing, or erasing part of people without killing them like law cutting limbs but here the limb is gone.
It would be cool if his sling shot ate a devil fruit.
Sogeking >>>>>>>>ussop
"since we're _already_ in the final saga"... Yea, the final saga really came to fast 😂
on haki i fully agree with you i think the fanbase has become haki obsessed as if oda really cares about it. I remember people saying that luffy won't unlock yet another gear or awakening in wano and he'll just get haki.... As if luffy has EVER beaten a major antagonist without upgrading his devil fruit abilities (Lucci: g2/g3 , doffy:g4 , katakuri: g4 snakeman etc. ) even without a gear update luffy still beats the antagonist with a new df move.
haki is an enhancer it will never be the main course the fanbase is way too obsessed with it especially after that kaido statement (That bum also relied on a df in the end)
Also another thing that the fanbase always do is underestimate how many upgrades a character will get in a major arc. Again 'll use luffy as an example people REALLY thought kaido was getting beaten with just ryou lvl 1 and 2 alone...💀💀 nah we need to fix up like how are we so conservative with our predictions as if this isnt the final saga.
all this is to say im sure ussop will not only get a weapon upgrade, not only a haki upgrade, not only a ammo upgrade but all 3.
p.s Dake you mention Yggdrasil and the adam tree as if there 2 separate trees its most likely that there the same tree i mean what other tree can literally make millions of pirate boats the size of LITERAL giants and still be around. Also yggdrasil most likely has a healing factor explaining how it looks untouched
Man I really think we are gonna get a luffy vs usopp v2 but it’s gonna be to see how far usopp has come from 2 yrs ago
An atlas beetle devil fruit kabuto mushi would make ussop improve so much
First , even if he does get a giant hammer he shouldn't be able to easily move it around at high speed against van augur but; a beetle has the propotional strenght of 50 times its own body weight ; kabuto mushi can become Giant by simply dropping some water on it
2nd kabuto mushi having an atlas beetle fruit would make it able to fly ; making ussop hit and run antics much *much* MUCH bigger ; 3 dimentional hide and seek ussop its unbeateable with how much his pop greens can alter the terrain and you can't say observation haki doesnt help up on that , because popgreens are alive and thus ussop can camuflage between multitudes of opponents that may or may not be stronger or have the same aura as him (aka perona gag scene of ussop being inmune but with him being like a plant).
3rd bombarment beetles have this abilities to shoot out giant spits of water
Atlas beetles dont do this , but this is one piece and triceratops can fly on the air for literally no reason so it wouldn't be weird that a beetle from 1 species can do smth from another .
Wich means ussop can not only get people confuse on who is attacking but misdirect on how big his actual weapon is.
4. Given that this beetle can absorb water devil fruit users may get one shot if the attlas kabuto mushi eats them.
Or atleast they would get inmobilize and throw away all their atention to defeating the kabuto mushi ignoring ussop and his fire power.
Love the video but no. The biggest mistake of Oda was having Sanji destroy his raidsuit. The raidsuit would have been PERFECT for Usopp to add to his arsenal.
-Enhances Durability (Usopp would benefit greatly from it, as he wouldn't need to feel like running away)
-Enhances speed and grants flight with jet boosters (Usopp was always able to make use of his speed and agility in fights when running away but now he is faster and can easily gain vantage points with flight)
-Stealth Camoflauge (perfect for any Sniper to not be detected. Imagine Usopp setting up traps while invisible and setting off a chain reaction)
-Cape Shield (Perfect for reflecting shots from other snipers)
-Superhero Aesthetic (Usopp already has Sogeking persona. Stealth Black Sogeking is literally perfect)
Maybe Luffy figures out how to introduce his haki into Usopp's amunition, similar to the haki-knot, enabling him to shoot the will of freedom
I could see usop eating a berserker mushroom. The same kinds that the vikings ate. It would probably be temporary.
Cell was sooo slept on just because ppl wanked off frieza so damn much. He was powerful, menacing and had a great story line IMO
I think one thing we are forgetting about is lvankov gave Sanji cooking lessons With special buffs and that never comes up again
This made me think, what if Loki is both a villain AND a hero? There’s been a lot of discussion around whether Loki is evil or good but what if he is technically both? You see, Loki is a trickster god, he’s supposed to be incredibly mischievous, BUT the giants knew he was evil and worked together to chain him up. UNLESS, this was all part of Loki’s plan, he played the villain, he purposefully acted like such a great threat in order for all the giants to hate him because it was necessary to eventually save the world. Similar to the theory of Luffy destroying Fishman Island but also destroying the Red Line in order to bring the entire world together I think Loki decided to become the greatest villain the giants have ever known in order to unite them together so that they stop fighting each other (like Dorry and Brogy) and instead focus on greater threats like the World Government.
