Usopp in One Piece

Usopp was born in Syrup Village to Banchina and Yasopp, a pirate who left to join Shanks' crew. After Yasopp left, Usopp began shouting that pirates were coming, hoping it would lift his sick mother’s spirits. Even after she passed away, he continued the habit, struggling with the pain of losing both parents.

The villagers were used to his antics, some even treating his daily shouts as an alarm clock. Usopp also made up adventure stories to entertain Kaya, a bedridden girl he befriended. Calling himself a pirate, he formed the "Usopp Pirates" with three local kids—Ninjin, Tamanegi, and Piiman.

Syrup Village Arc

The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Syrup Village looking for a ship, where they met Usopp. Excited to see real pirates, Usopp tried to convince them he commanded a huge pirate fleet, but his act failed. He quickly befriended Luffy after learning he knew Yasopp, Usopp’s father.

One day, Usopp overheard a pirate, Jango, plotting with his captain, Kuro, who had spent three years posing as Kaya’s caretaker to inherit her fortune. Kuro planned to kill her, but when Usopp warned the villagers, no one believed him due to his habit of lying. Even Kaya thought he was trying to kidnap her and had him chased away. To protect his friends, Usopp lied to them about the danger, but the Straw Hats, already aware, chose to help him.

Usopp and Nami mistakenly fought the Black Cat Pirates alone due to a miscalculation in their landing spot. Eventually, Luffy and Zoro arrived, defeating many of the enemy crew. When Kuro appeared, he gave his men five minutes to finish the fight before he killed everyone himself.

Kaya, learning the truth, confronted Kuro with a gun, hoping to remind him of their time together. Kuro cruelly admitted he never cared for her, only her wealth. Shocked, Kaya dropped the gun. Usopp tried to protect her but was injured. His crew also attacked Kuro but failed. Usopp then ordered them to take Kaya and run, but Jango pursued them.

Zoro and Usopp eventually caught up and saved them, with Usopp using his sniper skills to help defeat Jango.

Afterward, Usopp decided to keep the pirate attack a secret to protect the village’s peace. Inspired by the Straw Hats, he disbanded his fake crew to become a real pirate. However, Luffy invited him to join the Straw Hats instead. With their new ship, the Going Merry, gifted by Kaya, the crew set sail for the Grand Line.

Baratie Arc

The crew met Johnny and Yosaku, Zoro’s former bounty hunter friends, and set sail for the Baratie to find a cook. After accidentally damaging the restaurant, Luffy was forced to work as a waiter to repay the owner, Zeff. He also tried to recruit Sanji, one of the cooks.

Gin, a starving member of Don Krieg’s crew, arrived at the Baratie with his equally hungry captain. Sanji gave them food, but once Krieg regained his strength, he betrayed them and attacked the restaurant. It was then revealed that Zeff was once the great pirate "Red Leg" Zeff, who had traveled the Grand Line for a year.

Gin described how Krieg’s fleet was nearly wiped out in the Grand Line by "Hawk-Eyes" Mihawk. When Mihawk arrived at the Baratie to finish Krieg’s crew, Zoro challenged him to a duel but suffered a crushing defeat. After Mihawk left, Krieg continued his attack. Meanwhile, Johnny, Yosaku, Usopp, and an injured Zoro left to chase Nami, who had stolen the Going Merry.

Arlong Park Arc

After Yosaku left to inform Luffy of Nami’s whereabouts, Usopp, Zoro, and Johnny arrived at the island where she had gone. To prevent Zoro from attacking the fish-men, they tied him up, but when they neared shore and saw fish-men, Usopp and Johnny panicked and abandoned ship. Zoro was captured and taken to Arlong, while Usopp was knocked out by a woman after encountering another fish-man. When he woke up, the woman revealed that Nami was part of Arlong’s crew and had deceived them.

Meanwhile, Arlong arrived in Cocoyasi Village, accusing the villagers of illegal weapons possession and preparing to execute Genzo. Usopp tried to help by attacking Arlong with an exploding shot, but he was soon captured. When brought before Arlong, Usopp begged Nami for help. To prove her loyalty to Arlong, she appeared to stab Usopp and threw him into the sea. However, he had actually escaped and later reunited with Luffy’s group. Nojiko then told them about Nami’s past, which convinced the Straw Hats to attack Arlong Park.

During the battle, Usopp accidentally knocked over Chew, who became enraged and chased him. Usopp set Chew on fire but continued running, hoping to exhaust him. At one point, he faked being defeated with ketchup but later found his resolve and challenged Chew again. After being hit several times, Usopp tricked Chew, set him on fire once more, and knocked him out with a hammer, declaring himself a true pirate.

He returned just as Arlong was overpowering Zoro and Sanji and helped by distracting Arlong long enough for Sanji to free Luffy. After Luffy defeated Arlong, the crew joined the village’s celebration. Nami officially joined the Straw Hats, and they set sail again. Luffy gained the highest bounty in East Blue, and Usopp laughed upon seeing the back of his head on the wanted poster.

Loguetown Arc

The crew arrived in Loguetown, the last major town before the Grand Line and the birthplace and execution site of Gold Roger. They explored the town and stocked up on supplies. Usopp bought sniper goggles from a shop.

Miraculously, Luffy was saved from execution by a sudden green gust and a lightning strike on Buggy. The Straw Hats quickly escaped Loguetown. Meanwhile, Nami and Usopp found Mohji trying to burn their ship but easily defeated him. Once everyone regrouped, they set sail. As they approached the Grand Line, each crew member declared their dream.

Reverse Mountain Arc

After escaping Loguetown, the Straw Hats reached Reverse Mountain through a storm. They nearly veered into the Calm Belt but, thanks to Nami’s navigation, successfully climbed the uphill rapids. As they descended, they encountered a giant whale blocking their path. Luffy managed to stop the ship from crashing, but when the bow broke off, he angrily attacked the whale. In response, the whale swallowed the crew and the Going Merry, except for Luffy, who landed on its back.

Inside the whale, the crew found a strange setting with a house in the middle of the water and met an old man named Crocus. They also encountered Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, who were plotting to kill the whale. Crocus revealed that the whale, Laboon, was covered in scars from ramming into the mountain in hopes of reuniting with a lost pirate crew.

Crocus explained that normal compasses don’t work in the Grand Line and that they needed a Log Pose to navigate. He mentioned Laugh Tale, the Grand Line’s final destination, where One Piece might be. Luffy found a broken Log Pose, so Crocus lent them his. After dumping Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, they reappeared and begged for a ride to Whisky Peak. Luffy agreed, and the crew set sail, bidding farewell to Crocus and Laboon.

Whisky Peak Arc

While sailing through the Grand Line’s unpredictable weather, Usopp built an impressive Snow Queen sculpture, only for Luffy to ruin it out of spite. Soon after, the ship unexpectedly turned 180 degrees, and Usopp struggled to wake Zoro for help. After much effort, the crew stabilized the ship but were left completely exhausted.

They eventually arrived at Whisky Peak, where Usopp worried about encountering a monster and was shocked to learn they had to stay until the Log Pose reset. However, the townspeople warmly welcomed them, and Usopp, Luffy, and Sanji eagerly shared stories of their adventures. That night, Usopp entertained the crowd with exaggerated tales, claiming he was the Straw Hats’ captain and had fought off Sea Kings in the Calm Belt. He eventually passed out from drinking too much.

Later, Luffy violently woke Usopp and Sanji, dragging them to the ship as the crew fled Whisky Peak. Confused, Usopp complained about leaving such a friendly town but was quickly silenced by Nami. When Nico Robin, as Miss All-Sunday, appeared on the ship, Usopp and Sanji confronted her, but she effortlessly disarmed them. After Vivi explained the situation, Usopp was relieved to have slept through the battle and vowed to protect her.

Little Garden Arc

Upon reaching Little Garden, Usopp stayed on the Merry while the others explored. There, they met two giants, Dorry and Brogy, who had been fighting a battle of honor for 100 years. Usopp admired their warrior spirit, dreaming of becoming a great warrior himself.

While returning to the ship with Nami, Usopp panicked when they were chased by dinosaurs and feared Nami had been eaten. Luffy and Vivi later reassured him she was fine. Usopp was furious when he discovered their sake had been tampered with, interrupting the giants’ duel. Determined, he vowed to fight Baroque Works alongside Luffy.

During the battle, Usopp initially hid but eventually gathered the courage to attack Mr. 5. He freed Luffy from Miss Goldenweek’s control by burning his shirt, though he was shot in the process. After riding Karoo to assess the battlefield, Usopp discovered Mr. 3’s wax could be melted with fire. He helped set a rope ablaze, allowing Luffy to free Zoro, Nami, and Vivi. Later, he tricked Mr. 5 into eating a tabasco shot, making him sick, and was saved by Zoro before he could be attacked again.

With the battle won, the crew reunited with Sanji, who had acquired an Eternal Pose to Arabasta. Before leaving, the giants bid them farewell, advising them to stay on course. Usopp, still inspired by their bravery, dreamed of visiting Elbaph someday.

Drum Island Arc

After leaving Little Garden, Nami fell ill, and the crew searched for a doctor. Along the way, they encountered the pirate Wapol, whom Luffy quickly sent flying. They arrived at a snowy island, but the locals were initially hostile. Eventually, they earned the villagers' trust, and Luffy and Sanji set off to take Nami to the island’s only doctor, who lived atop a mountain. Meanwhile, Usopp and Vivi learned about the island’s history and Wapol’s past from Dalton.

As they searched for the doctor, an avalanche struck, knocking Usopp unconscious. Vivi had to repeatedly slap him awake to prevent him from freezing. They soon reunited with Zoro, who had been caught in the avalanche after taking a cold swim.

Back at the village, Usopp, Vivi, and Zoro fought Wapol’s troops to save Dalton. Despite his fears, Usopp helped carry the injured warrior up to the castle, where they arrived just after Luffy defeated Wapol. Initially frightened by Chopper, Usopp was surprised when Chopper announced he would join the crew. As they left, Dr. Kureha created a farewell snowfall that looked like sakura, a final gift to Chopper and the Straw Hats.

Arabasta Arc

As the crew neared Arabasta, they tried to catch a Sea Cat for food, but Vivi stopped them since it was sacred. While fishing, Luffy and Usopp caught an okama, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, who entertained them by copying faces, including Vivi’s father. Once his crew picked him up, the Straw Hats marked their arms with an ‘X’ to counter his abilities.

At Nanohana, they ran into Smoker and Tashigi. Luffy’s brother, Portgas D. Ace, appeared, fought Smoker, and gave Luffy a Vivre Card before leaving. Traveling inland, they saw the effects of Baroque Works’ schemes and met Vivi’s childhood friend, Koza, who led the rebels. Learning the rebels had moved to Katorea, they continued to Rainbase to confront Crocodile but were captured. Sanji and Chopper helped them escape, and they headed to Alubarna for the final battle.

Crocodile fought Luffy while the others split up to distract Baroque Works. Usopp and Chopper battled Mr. 4’s team, struggling against their attacks. When Miss Merry Christmas mocked Luffy’s dream, Usopp declared a real man never lets a friend’s dream be laughed at. Using teamwork, they tricked Mr. 4 into knocking out his partner before defeating him.

Meanwhile, Vivi found the bomb meant to destroy Alubarna, but it had a timer. Just before it detonated, Pell carried it into the sky, sacrificing himself to save the city. When rain finally fell and Crocodile was exposed as the cause of the drought, the fighting stopped.

The crew rested at the palace and later enjoyed a banquet and hot springs. Mr. 2 helped them escape the Marines while Vivi decided to stay behind for her country. Though she couldn’t join them, they all showed their ‘X’ marks to remind her she was still one of them. After escaping, Nico Robin appeared on their ship and convinced them to let her join.

Jaya Arc

Nami’s Log Pose pointed to the sky, and soon after, a 200-year-old ship fell from above. While searching the wreckage, the crew found a map of an island called Skypiea. Competing with Masira’s salvage crew, they looked for more clues but decided to head to Jaya for answers.

On Jaya, they met Mont Blanc Cricket, a descendant of Mont Blanc Noland, a man known for his tales of a lost gold city. Cricket, an outcast for searching for it, was the only one who might know how to reach Skypiea. He explained they had to ride a dangerous vertical current called the Knock-Up Stream but first needed a South Bird to guide them.

While they searched for the bird, Bellamy and his crew attacked Cricket’s house and stole his gold artifacts. When the Straw Hats returned and saw the damage, Luffy went to Mock Town to handle Bellamy. Meanwhile, Masira and Shoujou modified the Going Merry for flight. With everything ready, the Straw Hats caught a ride on the Knock-Up Stream and soared toward Skypiea.

Skypiea Arc

After arriving in the White Sea, the Straw Hats reached the Gate of Heaven, where an old woman named Amazon told them to pay a fee, but let them pass even though they didn’t. A sky shrimp carried them to the White-White Sea, where they landed in a cloud-covered area and met a Skypiean named Conis. While learning about a waver they found, the White Berets labeled them as criminals for illegal entry.

Suddenly, a giant shrimp took Zoro, Nami, Chopper, and Robin to the Sacrificial Altar in Upper Yard. Luffy wanted to rescue them, but Usopp hesitated. Conis guided them to a boat terminal, but they were attacked by Enel’s lightning. Gan Fall saved them and left with Conis. Reaching Upper Yard, Luffy and Sanji fought a priest named Satori and found their ship. After defeating him, they reunited with their crew, but during the night, Usopp heard mysterious hammering and saw what he thought was a ghost.

The next morning, Usopp, Nami, Sanji, and Gan Fall stayed on the Going Merry, where Gan Fall demonstrated an Impact Dial. Enel appeared, knocked out Sanji and Usopp, and took Nami. When they woke up, Usopp and Sanji snuck onto Enel’s ship to sabotage it and rescue Nami. Sanji sacrificed himself to protect them, and Usopp carried his unconscious body down before cheering Luffy on in his battle against Enel.

After Enel’s defeat and the golden bell ringing, the Skypieans celebrated with the Straw Hats. Usopp traded rubber bands for dials, and the crew collected gold from the ruins. Mistaking a gold post for a cannon, they fled to the Going Merry and returned to the Blue Sea with help from Pagaya and Conis.

Long Ring Long Land Arc

While escaping a giant wave, the Straw Hats found a mysterious pirate ship and landed on an island with strange animals. There, the Foxy Pirates captured the Going Merry. After Tonjit reunited with his horse, Captain Foxy challenged Luffy to a Davy Back Fight, where the winner could take members from the losing crew.

The first round was a boat race around the island. Usopp teamed up with Nami and Robin, but Foxy used his Devil Fruit powers to help his crew win, and they took Chopper from the Straw Hats. The second round was a ball game, with Zoro and Sanji forced to work together despite Foxy’s crew cheating. They managed to win, and Usopp scolded Zoro for scaring him.

For the final match, a one-on-one fight aboard Foxy's ship, Usopp coached Luffy and gave him an afro for motivation. The crew watched as Luffy battled Foxy, eventually turning his powers against him to win.

After the Davy Back Fight, the Straw Hats met Admiral Aokiji, who froze a path for Tonjit. He then revealed Robin’s past, saying every group she joined had been destroyed, leaving her as the only survivor. Aokiji froze Robin, but Usopp, Nami, and Chopper rushed her back to the Merry to thaw her out. After recovering, the crew continued their journey.

Water 7 Arc

After barely avoiding a sea train, the Straw Hats met Kokoro and her granddaughter, Chimney. Kokoro gave Luffy a map of Water 7. Luffy, Nami, and Usopp explored the city, exchanged their gold for cash, and met Kaku, a shipwright from Galley-La Company. While they were there, the Franky Family stole two suitcases of their money.

Paulie, another shipwright, retrieved some stolen money while escaping debt collectors. Meanwhile, Usopp was ambushed by the Franky Family and lost the rest of the money. He tried to get it back alone but was badly beaten. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper followed his blood trail, defeated the Franky Family, but found out Franky himself had already taken the money. Back on the ship, Luffy told Usopp that the Going Merry couldn’t be repaired anymore and that they had to get a new ship.

Usopp, refusing to accept this, argued with Luffy and decided to leave the crew. That night, he challenged Luffy to a duel over the Going Merry. He fought harder than ever, but Luffy defeated him. The crew left Usopp and the Merry behind.

As the dangerous Aqua Laguna storm approached, Sanji and Chopper tried to warn Usopp. While Usopp attempted to repair the ship, he and the Merry were captured by the Franky Family. In Franky’s hideout, Usopp finally admitted the ship couldn’t be saved. Franky was moved by his story and explained the legend of the Klabautermann, a spirit that repairs a beloved ship to help it sail one last time. Before they could escape, government agents from CP9 stormed the hideout, capturing Usopp and Franky and setting the Going Merry adrift.

Aboard the Sea Train heading to Enies Lobby, Sanji fought his way through to find Usopp and Franky. He ignored Usopp, considering him no longer part of the crew, but attacked Franky for what he did to Usopp. When Sanji and Franky learned the real reason Robin left, Usopp distanced himself, feeling it wasn’t his problem anymore.

Later, a masked figure calling himself "Sogeking" appeared and helped Sanji and Franky. Though his disguise fooled no one, they played along. They fought their way through the train, found Robin, and tried to escape but were stopped by CP9. Robin was taken away, and Sogeking and Sanji were left stranded.

As the Straw Hats and their allies neared Enies Lobby, Luffy and Chopper didn’t recognize Sogeking, but the others quickly realized he was Usopp. Paulie discussed their plan, but Luffy ignored it and launched himself into battle before the train even stopped.

Enies Lobby Arc

Sogeking (Usopp in disguise) helped Sanji and Franky try to rescue Robin but failed. After getting stuck in a detached train car with Sanji, they reunited with Luffy and the others. During the fight against CP9, Sogeking revealed his new weapon, "Kabuto," a long staff with a powerful slingshot.

He got separated from the group but teamed up with two giants, Oimo and Kashii, who learned they had been tricked by the Marines. Kashii launched Sogeking to the courthouse roof, where he and the others pleaded with Robin to let them save her. Following Luffy's command, Sogeking burned the World Government flag, declaring war.

As the battle continued, they reached the Tower of Justice, where CP9 held keys needed to free Robin. Sogeking initially fought Jabra but was easily defeated, switching places with Sanji. Later, he sniped Spandam and the Marines to protect Robin. When Marine ships bombarded the tower, Usopp jumped to safety and was carried by Zoro and Sanji to their escape ship.

Their ship was nearly destroyed, and they almost drowned, but Kokoro (revealed to be a mermaid) saved them. While escaping, Usopp saw Luffy struggling against Lucci and removed his mask to shout encouragement.

After Luffy won, they needed a way out, and Usopp heard a familiar voice. It was the Going Merry, which had arrived to save them. They jumped into the sea and escaped safely.

However, after escaping, the Merry could no longer sail. Iceburg arrived just in time to rescue the crew. Luffy gave the Merry a Viking funeral as the crew tearfully said goodbye. Usopp finally accepted that the ship was beyond repair.

Post-Enies Lobby Arc

Back in Water 7, Usopp sat on Kashii's shoulders, feeling down. Kashii offered to take him to Elbaph, but Usopp declined. Instead, he spied on the Straw Hats’ temporary headquarters, shocked by Luffy’s family ties.

Wanting to rejoin the crew, Usopp rehearsed his return, but Sanji caught him. Sanji told Luffy, who was excited to bring Usopp back, but Zoro insisted Usopp needed to apologize first. The crew agreed and decided not to accept him unless he admitted his mistake.

Before Usopp could apologize, the Straw Hats had to leave quickly. Seeing them escape, Usopp ran after them, desperately trying to get their attention. When they ignored him, he shouted a heartfelt apology. Moved, Luffy pulled him aboard, reuniting the crew.

Usopp officially rejoined after 106 chapters, escaping with the crew thanks to the Thousand Sunny’s Coup de Burst.

Thriller Bark Arc

While sailing on the Thousand Sunny, Usopp and the crew found a floating barrel. When they opened it, a flash shot up, followed by a sudden storm. After navigating through it, they arrived at the eerie Florian Triangle, where they encountered a ghost ship.

Onboard was a living skeleton named Brook, who immediately accepted Luffy’s invitation to join the crew. Usopp, terrified, armed himself with exorcism gear. During dinner, Brook was about to perform when a ghost appeared, followed by the sudden closing of the gates of Thriller Bark. Brook rushed toward the island, and Luffy decided to follow.

Franky revealed a new boat, the Mini Merry II, and Usopp joined Nami and Chopper for a test ride. They accidentally fell into Thriller Bark’s moat, where they encountered a Cerberus and fled into a tree. There, they met Hildon, who led them to Dr. Hogback.

Hildon abandoned them in a cemetery, where zombies attacked. Usopp scared them off with fire, and the trio escaped to Hogback’s mansion. During dinner, they questioned him about Brook. Later, while Nami was bathing, an invisible intruder attacked. Usopp scared it away but made a joke about seeing Nami naked.

The trio discovered that the mansion’s paintings and taxidermy were actually zombies. They fled through a secret door and found a room filled with Cindry’s photos, learning she was an actress who died ten years ago. They then stumbled upon a treasure chest, only for a terrifying Jack-in-the-box to pop out.

While escaping, they were chased by a zombie swordsman named Ryuma, who had Brook’s voice but a legendary warrior’s body. He knocked them unconscious, and they woke up in Hogback’s lab, where they overheard Moria’s plans. They tried to escape but were caught by zombie bodyguards.

During the fight, Nami was captured, but Franky and Robin arrived to help. After regrouping on the Sunny, Usopp woke up Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji with a lie, and the crew prepared to strike back.

On Thriller Bark, Usopp faced Perona and her zombies. Because of his naturally negative mindset, he was immune to her powers. He managed to defeat most of her minions, but Perona overwhelmed him with attacks, forcing him to flee. Just as her zombie, Kumashi, was about to finish him off, Usopp, in a moment of panic, called for Sogeking’s help. He then put on the Sogeking mask and defeated Kumashi. Using his wits, Usopp figured out Perona’s weakness and defeated her.

Afterward, Usopp joined the crew in battling the giant zombie Oars. Though he landed some hits, they had little effect. Oars took down Zoro and nearly crushed Usopp and Nami, but they were saved by Luffy in Nightmare Mode. With this power, Luffy nearly defeated Oars. Usopp later helped Franky freeze Oars in place, allowing Luffy to land the final blow.

Moria then used his strongest move, Shadow Asgard, to attack, but Luffy, using his Gears, finally defeated him, freeing all the stolen shadows. Shortly after, Kuma arrived with orders to kill everyone and take Moria. He offered a deal—if they let him kill Luffy, he would spare the rest. Usopp and the crew refused, leading Kuma to unleash a devastating attack that left everyone badly injured. Just as Kuma was about to finish Luffy, Zoro stepped in and offered himself instead. Kuma accepted and spared the crew, impressed by their loyalty.

Afterward, the crew celebrated on Thriller Bark, led by Brook and his music. Luffy revealed to Brook that he knew Laboon, causing Brook to break down in tears. He played a Tone Dial recording of the Rumbar Pirates’ last song, vowing to reunite with Laboon one day. He then officially joined the crew, shocking Usopp and the others.

Later, Brook asked Usopp and Franky to help build a memorial for the Rumbar Pirates. They crafted a beautiful tribute, buried Brook’s fallen friends, and held a small ceremony, where even a recovering Zoro laid his broken sword to rest.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc

After leaving Thriller Bark, the crew met a mermaid named Camie and her talking starfish friend, Pappag. After Luffy attacked a Sea King, Camie offered to sell them Takoyaki, but Pappag insisted she should give it for free.

Camie asked for help rescuing her friend "Hachin," who had been kidnapped by the Macro Pirates and the Flying Fish Riders. The Straw Hats agreed, unaware it could be a trap. They were soon attacked by the Flying Fish Riders but pushed forward to find "Hachin," who turned out to be Hatchan, a former member of Arlong's crew. This made the Straw Hats hesitant to help, but after Camie and Pappag were also captured, they decided to rescue them all.

After the rescue, Duval, the leader of the Flying Fish Riders, appeared, revealing he hated the Straw Hats because he resembled Sanji’s wanted poster. He tried to drown Sanji and sink the Thousand Sunny, but Usopp and Franky used the "Roar Cannon" to destroy much of Duval’s base. Sanji then kicked Duval’s face so much that it turned him handsome, making him grateful instead of vengeful.

Arriving at Sabaody Archipelago, Usopp stayed on the Thousand Sunny with Franky and Sanji. When Camie was kidnapped to be sold as a slave, Usopp joined the effort to find her. He discovered that the Peterman gang had taken her to the Human Auction House, and he relayed the information to the others.

During the raid on the auction house, Usopp was knocked off a flying fish and landed on Saint Rosward, knocking the noble out. Alongside the Straw Hats and their allies, he fought the marines to escape. The crew then regrouped with Silvers Rayleigh at Shakky's Rip-Off Bar to rest.

At Shakky’s bar, Rayleigh revealed that he was the First Mate of Gol D. Roger’s crew. He explained that Roger was not captured by the Marines but turned himself in due to an incurable illness. Before his execution, Roger’s final words sparked the Great Pirate Age. When Usopp asked if Roger had intended this, Rayleigh said it was up to the living to shape their era.

Rayleigh also confirmed that he knew the True History but warned that the Roger Pirates might have misinterpreted the Poneglyphs. He offered to tell Robin their conclusions, but she chose to find the truth herself. When Usopp asked where the One Piece was, Luffy scolded him, saying it would ruin the adventure. Usopp apologized.

Rayleigh agreed to coat the Thousand Sunny for free and gave the crew Vivre Cards to track him while he moved the ship to a safe place. However, coating would take three days, meaning the crew had to survive on Sabaody in the meantime.

As they left to find a hideout, they were confronted by a Pacifista. Usopp accidentally hit its weak point, helping defeat it. But soon, another Pacifista, Sentomaru, and Admiral Kizaru arrived. The crew tried to escape, but Kizaru crippled Zoro. Usopp and Brook attacked but couldn’t hurt the admiral.

The real Bartholomew Kuma then appeared. Usopp watched in horror as Kuma made Zoro vanish, then picked off the crew one by one. Helpless, Usopp was also sent away before Kuma himself disappeared.

Straw Hat Separation Adventure: Greenstone

After being sent flying by Bartholomew Kuma, Usopp landed on Greenstone, an island in the Boin Archipelago. He was quickly attacked by a giant stag beetle but was saved by a local named Heracles.

After a brief introduction, Heracles rescued him again from a man-eating plant. Struggling with hunger and loneliness, Usopp watched Heracles eat ramen and ended up overeating himself, becoming really fat.

Post-War Arc

While Usopp was eating, a News Coo delivered a newspaper about the war. After learning about Ace’s death, he panicked and tried to find a way off Greenstone, ignoring Heracles' warnings. He fought giant beetles and man-eating plants but got injured. Heracles treated his wounds and explained that escaping was nearly impossible since the most dangerous creatures lived on the island’s outer rim. However, Usopp had already run off.

Determined, Usopp reached the shore but was stopped by a sea hippo. As the hippo fed on sweet-smelling plants, the island began to close, revealing that Boin Archipelago was actually a massive carnivorous flower. Usopp and the hippo fell into its mouth but were saved by Heracles. Through tears, Usopp admitted he needed to see Luffy to support him as a true Straw Hat Pirate.

Later, he read about Luffy's message at Marineford and realized he had to become stronger. Instead of just watching Luffy chase his dream, he vowed to help him. Usopp asked Heracles to train him in combat and survival skills, learning about the island’s Pop Greens to grow stronger and become a true Sniper King.

Return to Sabaody Arc

After two years, Usopp escaped Boin Archipelago and returned to Sabaody. At a bar, he easily defeated the Fake Straw Hat Crew using his new Pop Green weapon. He reunited with Nami, who hugged him happily. Usopp boasted about graduating from the "weakling trio" but was immediately shocked to see impostors posing as Luffy and himself. Nami quickly took care of them with a Weather Ball, and they left before the attack landed.

Later, they ran into Chopper, who was searching for Robin. After explaining the impostors were fake, they returned to the Thousand Sunny. Usopp and Chopper were amazed by Franky's upgrades and excited to hear that Luffy had already arrived.

Once the entire crew gathered at Grove 42, Usopp was stunned to see Boa Hancock, calling her the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was even more surprised to learn that Luffy had befriended her on Amazon Lily. With the Marines held back by their allies, the crew submerged and set sail for Fish-Man Island.

Fish-Man Island Arc

While sailing underwater, Usopp and the crew marveled at the ocean world. He and Chopper had to stop Luffy and Zoro from fishing recklessly. As they ate, Franky explained how Kuma protected their ship for two years.

The Caribou Pirates, riding a sea cow, caught up to them, but the sea cow, Momoo, fled in fear after seeing Nami, Sanji, and Luffy. The Straw Hats captured Caribou, who tried to act innocent, but Usopp saw through his lie. While Nami explained Sea Currents, Usopp quickly lost interest, annoying her.

The crew soon faced the Downward Plunge and a giant Kraken. Usopp tried to stop Luffy from taming it but failed. When Caribou revealed a way for Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to fight outside the ship, Usopp cheered them on. The Kraken attacked again, and Franky impressed the crew with his Rocket Launcher. After the Monster Trio defeated the Kraken, Usopp admired their strength. Suddenly, the ship was pulled into the deep sea, separating the trio. Usopp lost consciousness and woke up at 7,000 meters, where Franky used his lights to reveal a giant sea monster.

As they searched for their lost crewmates, Caribou escaped, but Franky sealed him in a barrel. In the Deep-Sea Volcanic region, an angler fish tried to eat the Sunny but was stopped by a giant named Wadatsumi. Then, Vander Decken IX, captain of the Flying Dutchman, appeared and ordered Wadatsumi to attack. Before he could, Luffy’s newly tamed Kraken, Surume, stopped him.

The Monster Trio returned, but an undersea volcano erupted, creating wild currents. Nami directed the ship into a crevice, but an underwater landslide threatened them. Usopp quickly used his Pop Green to stop the landslide. At 10,000 meters, they finally saw Fish-Man Island. Worried about Sanji’s reaction to mermaids, Usopp and Chopper prepared for the worst.

Suddenly, Hammond of the New Fish-Man Pirates appeared, demanding they join or die. Usopp prepared the ship’s fuel while Franky got ready to escape.

Luffy rejected Hammond’s offer to join the New Fish-Man Pirates, prompting an attack on the Thousand Sunny. Usopp told Franky the fuel was ready, and the crew was launched forward as the coating bubble deflated. Upon entering Fish-Man Island, strong currents swept them away. Usopp, Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper were rescued by mermaids and woke up in Camie’s apartment.

Usopp explained what happened to Luffy, and Camie introduced them to her mermaid friends. When Sanji got excited about being surrounded by mermaids, Usopp warned he might have another nosebleed. As they took a turtle elevator, Usopp asked about the water roads, which Camie explained helped with travel. At Mermaid Cove, Usopp marveled at the scenery, joking when Sanji claimed to have found the All Blue.

The Neptune brothers arrived, searching for intruders. Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper hid while Sanji was covered by a mermaid. Sanji then suffered a massive nosebleed from excitement, prompting Usopp and Chopper to request a blood donor. Hammond returned, sharing the story of Fisher Tiger’s death and explaining why fish-men and humans couldn't share blood. When Hammond tried to capture them, Luffy repelled him, shocking Usopp by making a sea monster submit with just a raised hand.

The group escaped on a stolen royal gondola. Usopp reassured Camie that Sanji’s condition was his own fault. They arrived at Coral Hill and took shelter at Madam Shyarly’s Mermaid Cafe. There, two okamas donated blood to Sanji. While Chopper stayed with him, Usopp, Luffy, and Camie met Madam Shyarly. Usopp slapped Luffy when he asked if mermaids poop.

Later, they reunited with Brook and Pappag outside the cafe. While riding a fish taxi, Pappag explained that the Vander Decken they met was the grandson of the legendary one. They passed a candy factory with Big Mom’s Jolly Roger before arriving at Pappag’s home.

Inside his store, they found Nami arguing over prices. Pappag offered them anything for free, leading them to empty the store, to his dismay. Suddenly, King Neptune arrived, inviting them to Ryugu Palace.

The Straw Hats, Camie, and Pappag rode on Megalo, while Neptune rode on Hoe. Camie asked Usopp if it was okay for her and Pappag to go to the palace, and he reassured her. As Neptune explained the Sunlight Tree Eve, Usopp took notes, thinking it might be connected to the Treasure Tree Adam. Upon arriving at Ryugu Palace, they admired its beauty. Inside, Luffy wandered off in search of food, and Usopp sighed, noting that Luffy could never stay still.

Soon after, the palace guards attacked the Straw Hats due to the disappearances of mermaids and Madam Shyarly’s warning. Usopp, Nami, and Brook fought back and were surprised when Zoro, who had been locked up earlier, joined the battle. The crew quickly overpowered the king, ministers, and guards. Usopp argued that they should have intimidated the guards instead of going all out. He then got frustrated when Nami asked about treasure and Brook suggested singing.

When the Neptune brothers returned and found the palace taken over, Fukaboshi spoke to Zoro via Den Den Mushi. While Zoro made demands, Nami asked for one billion berries, annoying Usopp. After hearing noises from Princess Shirahoshi’s room, Neptune begged them to check on her. Usopp watched as Brook dashed off with the Minister of the Right.

They soon discovered Shirahoshi was missing, and Brook shouted that Hody Jones’s pirates were invading. Usopp panicked, but Zoro simply said, "cut them." After defeating the pirates, Neptune demanded Shirahoshi back, but Usopp insisted they hadn’t taken her. Suddenly, Hody Jones and Vander Decken IX arrived. The Minister of the Left accused the Straw Hats of working with them, but Usopp angrily denied it and demanded to know about the intruders.

When Decken learned Shirahoshi had left, he immediately pursued her. Jones declared his plan to continue Arlong’s mission. Usopp realized the New Fish-Man Pirates followed Arlong’s ideals. Jones then destroyed a palace wall, flooding the area. His Yabusame attack injured Neptune and his soldiers, though Usopp narrowly dodged it. As water weakened them, Usopp launched a Pop Green that released a foul-smelling plant, forcing Jones’s crew to retreat. Usopp and Brook freed the guards while Zoro cut Neptune’s chains.

As the palace flooded, Neptune created a vortex to help them escape, but his back gave out, putting them in danger. Hoe arrived to save them, but before they could flee, Jones, now stronger from Energy Steroids, stopped Neptune with one hand. Usopp, Zoro, Brook, and Neptune were then captured by the New Fish-Man Pirates.

Usopp, Zoro, and Brook are locked in a cage in a flooding room, with Hody planning to drown them after executing King Neptune. However, they manage to escape and regroup with the Straw Hats at Gyoncorde Plaza to fight the New Fish-Man Pirates.

When Franky mentions a new weapon in the Soldier Dock system, Usopp joins Nami, Chopper, and Pappag. He emerges from Soldier Dock 5, manning the cannon on the Brachio Tank V. When a pirate attacks Franky, Usopp stops him with a cannon shot. After Daruma creates a pit that sinks the tank, Franky combines it with another vehicle to form General Franky. Usopp, amazed by the robot, stays composed and takes down enemies using his Pop Green, Bamboo Javelin.

Later, while calling out for Chopper, Usopp is nearly attacked by Dosun but dodges in time thanks to Chopper’s warning. Usopp then forces Daruma out of his tunnels with an explosive Pop Green. When Daruma insults him, Usopp confidently states he has set a trap and proves his skills are real.

After Luffy defeats Hody, Usopp is shocked to see Chopper rampaging in Monster Point. However, Chopper reassures him that he can now control it. Usopp praises him and resumes his fight with Daruma. Using Pop Green traps, he trips and launches Daruma into the air before finishing him off with Midori Boshi: Impact Wolf. With the enemy leaders defeated, the Straw Hats watch as Sea Kings stop Noah from crashing into Fish-Man Island. The island celebrates their victory.

After the battle, the crew avoids being hailed as heroes but is later invited to a banquet at Ryugu Palace. During the feast, Usopp is horrified when Luffy declares war on Big Mom. As they prepare to leave, Usopp and Chopper panic over becoming her enemies. The crew promises to take Shirahoshi to the surface world someday before setting sail for the New World. Along the way, Usopp catches a sea monster for food. When they encounter a White Storm, a group of whales helps them reach the surface, and Usopp comments on the terrible weather.

Punk Hazard Arc

After entering the New World, the Straw Hats found an island surrounded by fire. They received a distress call from someone in trouble who mentioned a samurai. Usopp was terrified, but Luffy decided to rescue the caller. Luffy chose Usopp, Zoro, and Robin to explore the island with him. Nami created a cloud path, and they used the Mini Merry II to reach the island.

Usopp was nervous about landing and warned them about angering the World Government when Zoro cut down the gates, but then remembered they had already done so many times. While exploring Punk Hazard, Usopp found it strange that the caller mentioned cold despite the island being on fire. They soon encountered a fire-breathing dragon, which Luffy and Zoro defeated. Afterward, they found a pair of moving, talking legs, realizing the voices they heard weren’t from the dragon. The legs then ran off in search of a Warlord.

After eating some dragon meat, the group spotted a frozen side of the island. They then received a call from Brook, who said the Sunny had been taken and the rest of the crew was missing. Usopp watched Luffy defeat a centaur, and after capturing another, they discovered the name "CC" on a Den Den Mushi, hinting at a larger organization. To cross a lake separating the two halves of the island, Usopp created a boat with Pop Greens. As they rowed, centaurs attacked, capsizing them. Zoro was dragged underwater by sharks, but Brook arrived in time to help them escape. After stealing coats from the centaurs, they used Brownbeard as transportation to Vegapunk's former lab, where they found Law and Smoker after a fight.

Reuniting with the rest of the crew and a group of kidnapped children, they learned from Brownbeard about Caesar Clown, the man behind the island’s events. When the giant children started suffering from withdrawal, Chopper revealed that they had been drugged. One child attacked Luffy’s group, forcing Usopp to put them to sleep.

Deciding to help the children and stop Caesar, Luffy, Usopp, Franky, and Robin left Chopper and Nami to watch over them. However, after hearing an explosion, they rushed back, only to be attacked by the Yeti Cool Brothers, who kidnapped Nami, mistaking her for Franky.

Luffy and Franky chased after the Yeti Cool Brothers, while Usopp and the others were shocked to see Franky in Monster Point rampaging. After the brothers were defeated, Luffy, Franky, Nami, and Law returned. Usopp was surprised when Luffy announced an alliance with Law. Law then swapped Franky and Chopper back into their bodies but placed Nami in Sanji's body. The Straw Hats and Law planned to capture Caesar and help the children.

Usopp and Nami stayed behind to watch the children, but the kids’ withdrawal symptoms worsened. Caesar Clown arrived and lured them away with promises of candy. When Usopp and Nami tried to stop them, Caesar attacked and left them unconscious. Brownbeard briefly fought back but was also subdued. Later, Nami helped Usopp regain consciousness, and they fled from the spreading poison gas with Brownbeard, joining Zoro’s group. They escaped into a lab just in time.

The group split into teams to rescue Momonosuke and the children. While traveling, they fought a small dragon and defeated it. Later, they found Chopper struggling to stop the children from eating drugged candy. Despite his efforts, the kids overpowered him and ran past. Usopp, Nami, Robin, Zoro, Brook, and Kin’emon followed them into the Biscuits Room, where they encountered Monet.

Usopp, Brook, and Kin’emon then split off to search for Momonosuke and Seastone handcuffs. Usopp stumbled into a secret room and overheard Caesar's men realizing his cruelty. When they refused to help, he subdued them and used a control panel to guide Chopper’s group. Once everyone reached Building R, Usopp and the others escaped outside and found Franky battling Baby 5 and Buffalo.

When Baby 5 and Buffalo tried to escape with Caesar, Usopp and Nami worked together to stop them. Nami summoned a lightning strike, and Usopp fired Seastone handcuffs, capturing Caesar and defeating Doflamingo’s subordinates. With the first step of Law’s plan complete, the crew celebrated with a feast.

As Tashigi took the children away, the Straw Hats left with Law, Kin’emon, and Momonosuke. While sailing to Dressrosa, Luffy explained the alliance with Law to take down an Emperor. Usopp was nervous about facing such a powerful enemy and voted against the plan, but it moved forward anyway. That night, Usopp and Chopper stood guard, fearing Doflamingo’s retaliation. The next morning, they read in the newspaper about Doflamingo’s resignation and the alliance between Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo.

Dressrosa Arc

Law contacted Doflamingo to negotiate, but Luffy interrupted, angrily confronting him about Caesar’s crimes. Doflamingo tried to manipulate Luffy, but Usopp snapped him out of it. Law then told Doflamingo they would bring Caesar to Green Bit. Afterward, Usopp had a meal with the crew while Kin’emon and Momonosuke explained how they were shipwrecked, separated, and how Kanjuro was captured.

Upon arriving at Dressrosa, the crew split into three teams. Usopp joined Law and Robin to deliver Caesar. They learned the bridge to Green Bit was dangerous due to Fighting Fish, but Law insisted on crossing. Along the way, they were attacked, and Usopp released Caesar to help fight. The bridge was destroyed, but unknown people captured the fish, and the group flew the rest of the way using Caesar’s powers.

On Green Bit, Usopp and Robin discovered Marines being stripped of their belongings by unseen figures. Robin used her powers to reveal they were dwarves. Before they could react, the dwarves put them to sleep and took them to the Tontatta Kingdom. Usopp convinced the dwarves he was a legendary hero and enjoyed their hospitality until they asked him to lead them in a fight against Doflamingo.

The dwarves explained that 500 of their people, including their princess, were forced to work in a factory beneath the Corrida Colosseum. Usopp nervously agreed to help. The army then marched to Dressrosa through an underground passage, riding insects, while Usopp and Robin rode foxes. Along the way, the dwarves’ history with Dressrosa was revealed.

At the rebel base, Thunder Soldier gave a speech about overthrowing Doflamingo. Usopp quietly considered escaping but stayed to listen. Meanwhile, Sanji contacted him, asking him to take care of Robin. The dwarves shared their history, including their enslavement by the Donquixote Family and later liberation by the Riku Family. Thunder Soldier then revealed himself as Rebecca’s father.

Usopp was shocked by Dressrosa’s tragic history. He learned how Doflamingo staged his takeover, turning King Riku into a villain while presenting himself as a hero. Thunder Soldier revealed that those transformed into toys were erased from their loved ones’ memories, yet they still hated Doflamingo. He planned to use their anger to fuel the rebellion.

While Franky and Robin were eager to fight, Usopp preferred to destroy the factory and leave. However, he soon realized that their actions had sparked the rebellion, making them key players in the battle against Doflamingo.

Zoro contacted Luffy at the Corrida Colosseum, and Usopp, Robin, and Franky joined a conference call with Sanji and Luffy’s group. After making sure the dwarves weren’t eavesdropping, they updated each other on Dressrosa’s situation. Franky convinced Luffy to approve their involvement in the rebellion against Doflamingo.

During the chaos at the colosseum, Kin’emon informed everyone that Law had been defeated by Doflamingo. They were also shocked to learn that an admiral was in Dressrosa and that the Sunny was under attack by the Big Mom Pirates, who were after Caesar. While Sanji’s group headed to Zou and Luffy prepared to face Doflamingo, Franky’s team focused on destroying the SMILE factory.

Thunder Soldier explained their plan, called Dressrosa Operation S.O.P. They needed to infiltrate an underground world where the factory and trade port were located. The key to the mission was taking down Sugar, the one responsible for turning people into toys. Usopp felt confident after learning Sugar was just a little girl.

Usopp, Robin, the dwarves, and Thunder Soldier entered a tunnel leading to the trade port. Usopp learned about the Donquixote Pirates’ hierarchy while being carried by the dwarves. As Franky created a distraction, Usopp, Robin, and the rebels snuck into the port.

Thunder Soldier left for the royal palace, and the dwarves expected Usopp to lead the charge. Nervous, Usopp hesitated but watched as the dwarves swiftly took down two of Doflamingo’s subordinates. He and Robin disguised themselves and followed the dwarves to the officer tower, where Sugar was.

At the tower, Usopp noticed toys leaving the building, and Leo explained its connection to the scrap yard. The dwarves planned to trick Sugar into eating a spicy grape to knock her out. Usopp encouraged them but secretly considered running if the plan failed.

Robin stopped the plan after realizing Trebol was too powerful. She and Bian lured Trebol away while the dwarves attacked Sugar. However, the attack failed as Sugar turned some of them into toys and ordered them to kill the intruders.

Suddenly, Trebol threw a ship at the tower, causing it to collapse. Robin helped Usopp escape the wreckage. They watched as Trebol trapped the dwarves in his sticky substance, tricked Leo into revealing their allies, and then set off an explosion. Usopp tried to convince Leo to retreat, but Leo insisted they had to finish the mission so Thunder Soldier could fight Doflamingo. Leo then revealed that Thunder Soldier was actually Kyros, a legendary gladiator.

With the dwarves defeated and Robin turned into a toy, Usopp was the only one left who could stop Sugar. Instead of fighting, he panicked and ran, wondering why Franky hadn’t arrived to help.

As Usopp tried to escape, he heard Trebol and the dwarves over a loudspeaker. Though Trebol exposed his lies, the dwarves still believed in him, making Usopp feel guilty. When Trebol began stomping on them, Usopp finally found his courage. He revealed his true identity, admitted his deception, and declared he would risk his life to be their hero. He even asked them to build a statue of him next to Noland's if he died. With newfound resolve, Usopp fired his Midori Boshi: Platanus Shuriken, slicing Trebol in half.

Despite his efforts, Usopp was badly beaten. Sugar then forced the Tatababasco spice into his mouth. His painful, horrifying reaction shocked Sugar so much that she fainted, completing Operation S.O.P. The dwarves cheered for Usopp’s victory, and Robin helped him while he proudly gave a thumbs-up, claiming it all went as planned.

As the dwarves carried Usopp and fled, Hajrudin picked him up and held him high. A beam of sunlight shone down on him, making the freed captives see him as a hero. When Usopp tried to ask Hajrudin to put him down, everyone mistakenly thought he was giving them orders. Inspired by him, they vowed to destroy the SMILE factory.

Later, Robin introduced Usopp to Sabo, Koala, and Hack. Meanwhile, Doflamingo trapped everyone in Dressrosa with his "Torikago" and put bounties on twelve people, making them targets. Usopp had the highest bounty of 500 million berries, terrifying him. His former followers turned against him, forcing Usopp, Robin, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, the Revolutionaries, and the dwarves to flee. They eventually reached the old King’s Plateau and met Riku Doldo III, Viola, and Tank Lepanto.

As the citizens pursued Usopp, Kin’emon and Kanjuro arrived. Kanjuro foolishly created ladders for the enemy, earning a beating from Usopp. Then, Viola warned them that Sugar had recovered.

Realizing Luffy and Law were in danger, Usopp acted immediately. Since they didn't know what Sugar looked like and weren’t answering their Den Den Mushi, he prepared to snipe her from the plateau. With Viola guiding him and his allies holding off the attackers, Usopp hardened his resolve to protect his friends. At that moment, he awakened his Observation Haki, allowing him to see Sugar’s aura clearly.

He fired a doll of his terrified face—crafted by Kanjuro—which once again scared Sugar into unconsciousness. Viola praised him for his incredible shot, and Usopp smiled, relieved that he had helped Luffy and Law reach Doflamingo safely.

Usopp was tied up by the Dressrosa citizens but was shocked when they decided to release him, realizing they were just playing into Doflamingo’s hands. He was even more surprised when Admiral Fujitora, like King Riku, chose to trust Luffy.

As the battle continued, Usopp asked Viola how many enemies remained. When he learned that Princess Mansherry was being forced to heal the defeated Donquixote officers, including Sugar, he panicked. Luckily, Leo and Kabu rescued her in time.

After Diamante was defeated, Usopp saw King Riku leaving to help the people. He also realized Fujitora had gone to the city. Suddenly, Pica approached the plateau, and Usopp screamed in terror. He panicked as Pica tried to crush them but later cheered when Zoro defeated him. After pulling Zoro up from a ledge, Usopp and Kin’emon praised him, but Zoro reminded them that Doflamingo was still standing.

As Doflamingo's Torikago trap shrank, Usopp placed his hopes in Luffy. Hack carried Usopp down the plateau while Viola warned them of the danger. When they reached the base, Usopp urged the citizens to help those slowing down the Torikago. Finally, Luffy defeated Doflamingo, and everyone celebrated his downfall.

Later, Usopp and the Straw Hats recovered at Kyros’ house. Three days after the battle, they were eating when Bartolomeo warned them that the Marines were coming. The crew quickly escaped.

At the eastern port, while waiting for Luffy, Usopp and the others saw Fujitora approaching. When he attacked with debris, they fled to the escape ship, but Luffy arrived and clashed with the admiral. As Luffy was blown away, Hajrudin caught him, and the crew ran across a bridge to a giant ship. Fujitora tried to attack again, but the Dressrosa citizens distracted him, allowing the Straw Hats to reach Orlumbus’ flagship, the Yonta Maria.

There, several powerful fighters—including Cavendish, Bartolomeo, Sai, Ideo, Leo, Hajrudin, and Orlumbus—pledged their allegiance, forming the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. The crew celebrated their victory with a feast. Afterward, Luffy’s new allies received pieces of his vivre card and parted ways.

Bartolomeo then took the Straw Hats, Law, and the samurais aboard his ship, the Going Luffy-senpai. When Zoro noticed their new bounties, Bartolomeo proudly showed them their wanted posters. Usopp was shocked to see that his poster clearly showed his face.

Zou Arc

During a hailstorm, Usopp was shocked to learn that the Barto Club had no navigator, little sailing experience, and relied on a granny for useless advice. As a result, Usopp, the Straw Hats, the samurais, and Law had to protect the ship. After a week of traveling through the New World, they finally arrived at Zou.

After finding the Thousand Sunny, the Barto Club said their goodbyes. The group then climbed Zou’s giant elephant using a dragon created by Kanjuro. While searching for Sanji’s group, they saw something falling toward them—a monkey. It crashed into Kin’emon and Kanjuro, knocking them off. The samurais assured everyone they were fine, so the rest of the group continued. When they reached the top, the dragon vanished, upsetting Usopp.

They entered a village where Luffy ran ahead. While exploring, they noticed signs of an attack and encountered two Mink Tribe members. Usopp was shocked to see one wearing Nami’s clothes. After a brief scuffle between Carrot and Zoro, Usopp questioned Wanda about Nami’s whereabouts. Wanda and Carrot left in a hurry to deal with an intruder but told Usopp’s group where to find a “corpse” of a comrade. Usopp panicked, fearing the worst, but the others remained skeptical.

While exploring, they experienced an eruption rain and took shelter. Once it passed, they realized it was a common occurrence. Usopp later spotted Luffy with Carrot and Wanda and panicked, thinking Luffy was captured. Law teleported the group closer, and Wanda led them to Right Belly Fortress, where they reunited with Nami and Chopper. Usopp was surprised to learn the minks were actually friendly.

During a feast with the Mink Tribe, the group reunited with Brook, who assured them Momonosuke was safe but warned them not to mention samurai or Wano. Before he could explain why, canine minks interrupted. They then listened to Nami and Chopper’s story about escaping Big Mom’s pirates and how they saved the Mink Tribe. After hearing that Prince Inuarashi had awakened, they went to meet him. Along the way, Wanda told them about Jack’s attack on Zou.

Wanda revealed that Jack was searching for the Wano ninja Raizo and that he was a subordinate of Kaido. Usopp was shocked by this revelation. When Luffy carelessly mentioned Raizo’s name, Usopp, Nami, and Brook quickly silenced him. They arrived at the duke’s home and met Sicilian, who thanked them for their help. Inside, they learned about a weapon Jack used against the minks.

Usopp was surprised when Inuarashi suddenly fell asleep. Wanda explained that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi ruled Zou separately due to their rivalry. After hearing about the devastation caused by Jack, the Straw Hats decided to visit Nekomamushi and the Guardians at Whale Forest.

When they learned about Sanji’s sudden departure, Usopp wondered about his family. Luffy wanted to find him, but the others were hesitant about confronting Big Mom without a plan. Usopp, Chopper, Robin, and Brook then visited Nekomamushi. Later, they joined Luffy, Nami, and Zoro, who were visiting Pekoms. The Heart Pirates arrived, and Law warned them about Kaido. Nekomamushi then hosted a celebration with the Heart Pirates and Straw Hats.

The next morning, Usopp and the group heard a bell ringing and realized Kin’emon and Kanjuro had arrived. Worried about the Mink Tribe’s reaction, they rushed to find them. The Straw Hats tried to keep the samurais hidden, but as Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were arguing, Kin’emon and Kanjuro revealed themselves. To everyone’s surprise, the Minks welcomed them and revealed that Raizo was safe. The Straw Hats were shocked to learn the Minks had protected Raizo despite the suffering they endured.

Kin’emon then revealed that Momonosuke was not his son but the heir to the daimyo of Kuri. Usopp and Zoro were annoyed when Momonosuke clung to Nami, but she didn’t mind, realizing his family must be wealthy. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi then led the group to a hidden chamber where Raizo was. Along the way, Usopp and the others imagined him as a cool ninja, only to be shocked by his unusual appearance. However, they eagerly watched as he performed ninja techniques.

Outside the Whale Tree, Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper reflected on the destruction Zou suffered. Robin then deciphered a red poneglyph inside the tree, prompting Nekomamushi to call everyone back. Inuarashi explained that the four Road Poneglyphs reveal the way to Laugh Tale. When they learned Kaido and Big Mom each possessed one, Usopp and the others were stunned. Usopp was happy to hear they could copy the information, but Luffy dismissed the idea, frustrating Usopp. They also learned that Momonosuke’s ancestors created the poneglyphs, but Momonosuke never inherited their knowledge because his father, Oden, was executed by Kaido and the Wano shogun. Oden had traveled with Roger and reached Laugh Tale, making him a key target for Kaido’s forces.

The samurais shared Oden’s goal of opening Wano’s borders and asked Luffy for help. Usopp was excited to have new allies, but Luffy initially refused. However, after Momonosuke humbly asked, Luffy agreed, forming an alliance between the Straw Hats, samurais, and Minks.

After leaving the chamber, they learned that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had sailed with Whitebeard and Roger. The alliance then planned to split up and meet again in Wano. Suddenly, Zou started shaking as Zunisha cried out. Luffy and Momonosuke could hear its voice and realized Jack had returned to attack. On Momonosuke’s command, Zunisha crushed Jack’s fleet with one powerful strike, ending the threat.

Later, Usopp gave Nami a new Clima-Tact but was dismayed when she tested it immediately. As the Sanji retrieval team departed, everyone—except for those staying behind—was shocked when Luffy suddenly jumped off Zunisha with his team.

Wano Country Arc

Usopp and his group sneaked into Wano, following Kin’emon’s orders to stay low until the alliance was ready. Disguised as a merchant, he worked to gather allies. He was shocked when he read about Luffy’s fight with Kaido.

After Luffy was captured, Usopp helped spread Kin’emon’s secret message. He later visited Sanji’s soba stand with Robin and Franky, but they backed away when Sanji fought thugs from the Kyoshiro Family. They then met a cheerful girl named Toko, a servant of the courtesan Komurasaki. Later, Usopp and the others watched the courtesan's procession through the Flower Capital.

When Drake and Page One attacked to avenge the Kyoshiro Family, Usopp and the group fled. Sanji later fought Page One using his Raid Suit, which amazed Usopp and Franky. As the battle continued, they escaped to Ebisu Town, where they met Tonoyasu, a kind man who invited them to his home.

Later, when Law’s crewmates were captured and Kin’emon’s plan was exposed, Usopp was alarmed by Shinobu’s harsh suggestion to silence the captives. They also learned about Tonoyasu’s past and how he helped the people of Ebisu Town. When Tonoyasu was publicly executed, Usopp and the group arrived too late and were horrified by the people's forced laughter. After Orochi attacked Toko, Usopp helped fight his forces and escaped with her when Sanji handed her over.

After sneaking out of the Flower Capital, Usopp joined Franky in repairing ships at Itachi Port. Two days before the raid on Onigashima, they traveled to Amigasa Village to regroup with the Straw Hats. The night before the Fire Festival, when the Beasts Pirates tried to bomb the Thousand Sunny, Usopp and Franky worked to repair it.

On the day of the Fire Festival, the Straw Hats, along with the Kid and Heart Pirates, sailed to Tokage Port to support the Scabbards and joined the battle against the Beasts Pirates. When Kanjuro kidnapped Momonosuke, Usopp tried to shoot him down but had to take cover from ink arrows. The alliance was then attacked by a Beasts Pirates ship, but Jinbe arrived just in time to sink it. The crew was thrilled to reunite with him.

As they reached Onigashima, Usopp used sleeping attacks on guards and piloted the Brachio Tank V. While moving with the eastern forces, Big Mom spotted them, forcing Usopp and Chopper to fire at her before fleeing. They later heard about Momonosuke’s execution and rushed to save him, accidentally running into the Numbers. Jaki picked up their tank, but Franky rescued them at the Live Stage, where General Franky was formed.

When Page One and Ulti attacked, Usopp fired at them but hid behind Nami while making bold declarations. The two ran away but were soon overpowered by Ulti’s headbutts. Just as Usopp was about to watch Nami get attacked, Tama and Komachiyo arrived, rescuing them. Tama used her dangos to turn the Gifters into allies, and Usopp helped feed them to Sasaki’s subordinates.

As Page One chased them, Usopp used plant attacks to knock him back, but Big Mom appeared. She turned gentle upon seeing Tama but became enraged when she learned the Beasts Pirates destroyed Okobore Town. She knocked out Page One in fury, which Ulti witnessed. As Ulti charged at them, she took down Komachiyo and slapped Tama, angering both Big Mom and Nami. To Usopp’s shock, Nami struck Ulti with an electric attack.

As Nami and Big Mom fought Ulti, Usopp took care of Tama, who was hurt from Ulti’s slap. After Big Mom knocked Ulti out, the Straw Hats tried to escape. Zeus appeared, but Big Mom ordered Hera to eat him. She then turned on the Straw Hats, separating Tama from them and trying to kill Usopp and Nami. Zeus apologized to Nami and tried to protect her but was crushed. Just as Big Mom was about to attack again, Kid arrived and smashed her into the floor, giving the Straw Hats a chance to escape.

As they ran, they heard the shocking news that Kaido had "killed" Luffy but were relieved when Momonosuke announced Luffy was still alive. To their surprise, Zeus had survived inside Nami’s Clima-Tact, making it sentient. Before they could process it, Ulti caught up, knocked Usopp down, and grabbed Tama, trying to strangle her for turning the Gifters against the Beasts Pirates. Usopp managed to separate them, allowing Nami to attack Ulti. Though Ulti dodged, Zeus powered up the attack, knocking her out. Usopp then captured Bao Huang and had Tama use her to broadcast an announcement.

Encouraged by Usopp and Nami, Tama activated her ability, turning more Beasts Pirates into allies. The group then fled, with Speed carrying them. When Big Mom’s Supreme King Haki knocked out nearby enemies, Usopp took credit, calling himself "Usohachi the Sibling-Hunter" and claiming he had defeated the Tobiroppo, convincing some enemies to join him.

While escaping, Usopp saw Kin’emon’s severed legs running around. He grabbed them but couldn’t communicate with them. After Kin’emon asked him to save Kiku, Usopp and Hamlet rushed to the attic. He protected Kin’emon and Kiku but got frustrated when they wanted him to leave one behind for an honorable death. Usopp rejected their idea of pride and said survival leads to strength, which impressed them. As more enemies arrived, Izou stepped in, praised Usopp’s words, and took over the fight. Usopp then carried Kin’emon while Hamlet took Kiku to safety.

Usopp and Hamlet carried Kin’emon and Kiku toward the Live Floor, but the spreading fire blocked their path. Usopp tried to put it out with his plant-based attack, but the flames consumed it. As they fled, a massive flood from Raizo and Jinbe swept them away. Usopp struggled to keep Kin’emon and Kiku from drowning as the battle raged above. Finally, Luffy defeated Kaido, and Momonosuke safely landed Onigashima in Wano.

As everyone celebrated, Usopp brought Kin’emon and Kiku to Chopper for treatment. Later, the Straw Hats met Yamato, who surprised them by declaring the intention to join the crew. Usopp also asked Tama about the Gifters, learning her powers would wear off in a month. They then watched Momonosuke announce Kaido and Orochi’s defeat and declare himself the new shogun of Wano.

Seven days later, Usopp, Franky, and Minatomo finished repairing the ships. That night, they enjoyed the festival with the people of Wano. The next day, the Straw Hats discussed Pluton and prepared to leave. As a favor to Luffy, they agreed to take Caribou but made him travel in a barrel. Before they left, Momonosuke, Yamato, and Kin’emon arrived. Usopp gave Luffy a flag with their Jolly Roger to pass to Momonosuke. After saying their farewells, the crew set sail, with Kid challenging Luffy and Law to race up the Climbing Koi Waterfall.

Egghead Arc

When Robin announced the arrival of the newspaper with their new bounties, Usopp panicked upon seeing his had increased. He and Chopper were also devastated to learn that Sabo had allegedly assassinated Cobra and that Vivi was missing. As Robin read more news, Luffy shared his oath to Sabo and Ace, as well as his ultimate dream, which Usopp found hard to believe.

Days later, while sailing through a cold and turbulent sea, the crew encountered a giant warm eddy. Usopp panicked as Luffy and Chopper were swept away toward Jewelry Bonney, who was trapped inside. At the same time, a Mecha-Shark attacked, capsizing the ship. While Jinbe rescued Luffy, Chopper, and Bonney, the rest of the crew was saved by Lilith and Vegaforce-01. Lilith introduced herself and demanded their valuables, alarming Usopp, but the attack was called off by Shaka, who ordered her to bring them to Egghead Island.

Upon arriving at Egghead’s Labophase, Usopp, Nami, Robin, Sanji, and Franky disembarked, while Zoro and Brook stayed with the ship. Inside the lab, they changed into new outfits and were given special shoes. When Lilith suddenly vanished and locked them inside, Usopp complained about Nami’s obsession with treasure, earning a kick from her.

They then encountered S-Shark, a Seraphim resembling a young Jinbe. As it attacked, Usopp was shocked by its abilities, including Fish-Man Karate and the Sui Sui no Mi power. When the Seraphim grabbed Usopp by the throat, Franky’s Radical Beam forced it to let go, and Shaka ordered it to stop.

Shaka then explained Egghead’s advanced yet ancient technology, the Void Century, and the World Government’s attempts to erase its history, terrifying Usopp. He also mentioned the Ohara Incident and Vegapunk’s visit to Elbaf, which excited Usopp. Later, in a monitoring room, Usopp recognized Bonney with Luffy’s group. When CP0 arrived, Lilith suggested handing over the Straw Hats, and Usopp begged to run away. However, Shaka, not trusting CP0, ordered them to be denied entry.

When CP0 ignored orders and infiltrated Egghead, Usopp panicked. As Luffy fought Lucci, Vegapunk excitedly entered, hoping to see Luffy’s transformation. He then revealed that the Gomu Gomu no Mi never existed and explained his theory on Devil Fruits, leaving Usopp shocked.

Watching the Seraphim battle CP0, Usopp questioned why Vegapunk created them. When Vegapunk said his genius made him a target, Nami joked about eliminating him, which Usopp opposed. Vegapunk then announced he was joining their crew, delighting Usopp—until he requested seven spots for himself and his Satellites.

Once Luffy's group reunited with the crew, Usopp reminded him that Egghead was a government island, urging them to leave. However, they were stunned to learn Rob Lucci had invaded the Labophase. Usopp was amazed that Vegapunk had a spy within the World Government. As the crew searched for the missing Vegapunk Stella, Usopp and Franky teamed up with Lilith and York. They found Pythagoras’ damaged body, but he survived by detaching his head. As they investigated, S-Snake suddenly petrified York and attacked.

Lilith used a Bubble Gun, revealing the bubbles weakened Devil Fruit users. Franky trapped S-Snake in a large bubble, but her pleas tricked him into lowering his guard. She broke free, partially petrifying Franky, then swiftly turned Usopp and Lilith to stone.

Later, Usopp was restored and used a Den Den Mushi to force York into calling Mary Geoise for help. Afterward, he took over communications, instructing Cipher Pol agents to remain calm. Meanwhile, Vegapunk and Nami planned their escape to Elbaf, which thrilled Usopp and Luffy, who danced in excitement. While the stronger crew members executed the escape plan, Usopp stayed in the main lab, watching Sentomaru’s battle with Kizaru via Surveillance Den Den Mushi. He was horrified when Sentomaru was defeated, realizing Kizaru could enter the Labophase at any moment.

Usopp contacted Franky after hearing the Vegaforce-01 explode, but he was horrified when Kizaru appeared in the main lab to kill Vegapunk. Before Kizaru could strike, Luffy arrived in his giant form and grabbed him, shocking everyone. After Luffy flung Kizaru away, Vegapunk insisted on rescuing Bonney, despite Usopp warning it was too dangerous. Ignoring him, Vegapunk left, leaving Usopp behind. Soon after, a light clone of Kizaru appeared and restrained Usopp while searching for Vegapunk.

Later, Usopp, Nami, and Chopper tried to escape the Labophase, carrying Robin in a pod. When Sanji warned about the incoming Buster Call, Usopp panicked, questioning why they had to face another one. Through binoculars, he spotted Dorry and Brogy arriving and cried with joy. He realized they had come to help after reading about the incident in the newspaper. Usopp then saved the Thousand Sunny from falling off the edge using Midori Boshi: Take Jave Rin and signaled Sanji that they were ready to leave, waiting only for Zoro and Jinbe. However, he was terrified when Saturn arrived.

When Saturn attacked Robin, Usopp and the others tried to protect her but were easily brushed aside. Robin caught them with her Spider Net. As Saturn left, Usopp and Brook realized Edison had extended the clouds to help their ship reach the sea. Though confident in their escape, Usopp panicked again when Nusjuro caught up to them. Zoro and Jinbe managed to hold Nusjuro back, allowing the crew to escape. As they prepared to take off, Atlas sacrificed herself to delay Nusjuro, and Usopp clung to Jinbe as they blasted away.

Once the Sunny landed safely in the sea, Usopp happily reunited with Dorry and Brogy. The crew sailed toward Elbaf with the Giant Warrior Pirates, celebrating along the way. However, the giants soon ended the party to let Luffy recover. During the downtime, Usopp stayed by Lilith’s side until she woke up. When she burst into tears over the deaths of the other Vegapunks, Usopp was confused, questioning her "evil" nature. To everyone's shock, she revealed that the other Vegapunks were still alive. Relieved, Usopp later joined the real party, celebrating with his friends.

Elbaph Arc

During the party, Usopp was annoyed by Nami dismissing Dorry and Brogy’s duel but continued enjoying himself. Two days later, he and several crew members mysteriously vanished along with the Thousand Sunny. They had been taken by Muginn to his master, Road, a New Giant Warrior Pirate who saw Luffy as an enemy. Road kept them asleep and placed them in the Land of Gods as a test.

Usopp woke up in Bigstein Castle and was nearly eaten by a giant cat. Nami tried to help with Zeus, but the cat chased them out of the castle. It then transformed into a lion and prepared to attack, but Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji arrived just in time to knock it out. Usopp was relieved but annoyed that Nami tried using him as a shield.

The Straw Hats explored the Land of Gods and learned that the "Sun God," actually Road in disguise, ruled over it. When they discovered the "temple" was off-limits, Luffy rushed toward it, revealing that the entire place was an artificial diorama. After rescuing Chopper, the crew fought off large guardian animals and tried to escape while Road chased them. They rode the defeated cat, Iscat, as Road attempted to capture them with a net. Zoro and Sanji broke free, and while Nami knocked Road out with Zeus, Luffy shattered the diorama’s wall using Gear 4, allowing them to escape.

Outside, they barely avoided an encounter with giants Goldberg, Gerd, and her pet, Piper. As they crossed a massive bridge toward Elbaf’s upper levels, Luffy sensed something strange and jumped off, with Zoro wanting to follow but being stopped by Sanji. Soon, the bridge shook as Road fled from Goldberg and Gerd, who were carrying the Sunny. Usopp realized Road was the "Sun God" who had kidnapped them. When Zoro suggested fighting the giants, Usopp insisted they could be allies, so the crew ran toward a village instead.

They reached the Sun World and set a trap, with Zoro and Sanji knocking Road unconscious. Usopp scolded them but gave in. Goldberg and Gerd then arrived and finished the fight. After introducing themselves, Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper eagerly ran ahead to Elbaf Village. Seeing the village brought Usopp to tears, and he was soon shocked when the rest of the crew arrived on a rainbow.

As the Straw Hats and Giant Warrior Pirates arrived in Elbaf, the last two members of the New Giant Warrior Pirates also joined them, leading to a brief meeting with Hajrudin. Usopp and Luffy were eager for the feast, but the crew prioritized Robin’s reunion with Jaguar D. Saul. Gerd piloted them to the Warrior’s Spring, where Usopp was shocked to see Saul collapsed. Thinking he was injured, Usopp urged Chopper to check on him, but it turned out to be a playful greeting for Robin. When Robin and Saul embraced, Usopp and the others teared up.

Later, Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro visited the Walrus School, expecting to see warrior-like giant children. However, they were surprised to find them more focused on trade than battle due to King Harald’s teachings. Disappointed, Luffy and Usopp played on a giant swing, scaring the children and getting punished by Nami. When a child named Colon attacked Luffy, he retaliated with an Elephant Gun but missed. Usopp was concerned and told Luffy to calm down. The crew then returned to the Western Village, where the party resumed. Usopp and Luffy danced, celebrating their dream of reaching Elbaf. They were later amazed by the arrival of the eldest giant, Jarul.

During the party, Usopp bragged about defeating Oars at Thriller Bark, impressing the giants. The celebration led to a discussion about Prince Loki, whom the giants despised for his cruel tricks and the death of his father, King Harald. They revealed he had to be locked away for the safety of Elbaf. Later, the giants spoke about Scopper Gaban, who had lived in Elbaf as the lover of Ripley and father of Colon. Oimo recounted how Gaban earned his title "Mountain Eater" by single-handedly defending a hospital from hundreds of pirates while Roger was recovering. Usopp found the story unbelievable.

Meanwhile, Nami snuck off with Luffy and Zoro to Aurust Castle. By the time she returned, Usopp had drunk himself into a stupor. He introduced Nami to Jarul, who complimented her but admitted he preferred older women. Too drunk to take things seriously, Usopp jokingly slapped the sword lodged in Jarul’s head, alarming the giants. They quickly restrained him and warned that removing the sword would be fatal, but Usopp, still drunk, treated it like a joke, comparing it to Excalibur.

Usopp has a history of lying frequently, being cowardly, and enjoying making up stories with friends and complete strangers since his introduction. He is generally regarded as the weakest member of the crew and the Straw Hats' comic relief. Despite his fearful nature, he is selfless and caring and works to improve himself as a pirate. He also puts a lot of effort into ensuring the crew's safety and helping his fellow crew members accomplish their own goals.

Usopp is one of the more sentimental Straw Hat Pirates; he may cry or lose his cool under emotional stress. Usopp was an easily alarmed, anxious, insecure, and habitual liar at the beginning of the series. In contrast to Nami's, Usopp's cowardice was brought on by his fear and insecurity, particularly when confronted with uncertainty. Nami's cowardice is related to her desire to simply survive.

In more dire situations, Usopp can overcome his anxiety because, although terrified, he faces it for the benefit of his friends and acquaintances. Most of his lies were told to make him feel better because his opponents easily outmatched Usopp. Even so, some of Usopp's lies motivate and uplift others. He used to be the first to think of an explanation for why he shouldn't do something or put himself in danger.

One of the most common defenses is that he contracts a disease with a name like "Can't-get-on-this-island disease," for instance. Before the timeskip, he also pretended to be the captain, calling himself "Captain Usopp" in conversations with Chopper (to impress him), enemies, or total strangers (to scare them).

Even though he is a gifted sniper and very bright, he struggled to recognise his positive qualities and advantages until the battle at Enies Lobby opened his eyes. Usopp eventually saw his better side after the fight and realised that he was still extremely powerful in his own right despite not being as strong as the others.

Usopp desires to visit Elbaf one day and encounter the fierce warriors after meeting the giants Dorry and Brogy. He frequently draws inspiration from the Elbaf warriors he has encountered while travelling to become "a brave warrior of the sea."

After the timeskip, Usopp feels more self-assured, especially regarding his fighting prowess, and he brags about becoming a warrior. He now humorously hits people more regularly, mostly Luffy, when they irritate him or say something foolish. However, he is now prepared to stand and battle alongside the rest of the crew.

When it comes to his high bounty, Usopp feels a mixture of pride and terror since, on the one hand, he views it as a symbol of his successes and growth as a pirate, but, on the other hand, it makes him a more attractive target to many powerful individuals. He continues to be understandably terrified of harm that is beyond his reach.

He still has the same "I-can't-go-on-this-island-or-I'll-die-disease." His tendency to tell lies still exists, as evidenced by his behaviour on Green Bit, where he rapidly warmed up to the trusting dwarves and immediately declared himself to be Usoland, a descendent of the hero Noland, upon learning of the relationship between the two.

Usopp has demonstrated that he still has a cowardly nature, even if he claimed to have left the Weakling Trio after returning to the Sabaody Archipelago. This is especially true when it comes to opponents who have a fearsome reputation. Usopp is always in favour of taking the "simple" path.

Usopp panics and cries aloud whenever the crew is made for walking the dangerous route. Usopp can be incredibly brave despite still being a coward for the benefit of his friends and allies. Usopp has occasionally shown a subtly perverse side to him, which is rarely seen and regarded as tame compared to Sanji and Brook.

Usopp created his alter identity, Sogeking, after he abandoned the crew during the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs. Later, he felt bad for leaving and told Sanji and Franky that he couldn't help them fight because he witnessed the others trying to save Robin. He quickly changed into a mask and cape and adopted the name "Sogeking".

He occasionally adopts a deeper voice during this facade, which might be considered the "real" Sogeking. In contrast to his usual more macho and informal "ore," he addresses himself as "watashi," which is more official. Nearly everyone is referred to by Sogeking as "kun" (Luffy-kun, Zoro-kun, Robin-kun, etc.). When asked where his alleged home of the "Island of Snipers" is, he responds that it is "in your heart."

When acting as Sogeking, he changes the names of his attacks from Japanese to English, referring to a shot at the World Government flag as the "Firebird Star." The "real" Sogeking has been seen talking in Usopp's natural voice and briefly shedding his fearless personality. Usopp could battle alongside the others as his alter-ego without having to bring up the subject of his departure.

He learned throughout his term as Sogeking that although he was one of the crew's weakest members, his position as the sniper and a supporting crew member made him more valuable than he had previously believed. Eventually, his wanted poster identified him as Sogeking.

Since the two-year time skip, the real Sogeking has yet to surface. However, Usopp notices the fake Sogeking's mask when the Straw Hats confront four of the fake Straw Hat Crew upon returning to the Sabaody Archipelago. Although Usopp and Nami inform Chopper that they are impostors when he and Sogeking rejoin, it is unclear from his use of the name "Sogeking" whether he is merely shocked that someone is posing as such him or truly believes it to be the genuine Sogeking.

Before timeskip, Usopp is a tall, skinny youngster with medium-length black curly hair who appears to be referencing Pinocchio with his long nose, big lips, and prominent nose (a wooden boy from a story of the same name who possessed a nose that would stretch after he lied).

Usopp's mother gave him his long nose, while his father gave him the rest of his features. Usopp gained weight due to overeating during the Straw Hats Separation and after arriving in the Boin Archipelago.

He wore the same clothes for the series, like the other male crew members, before switching to new clothes by the end of Paradise. Usopp generally wore a brown overall with a white sash, no shirt underneath, an olive green plaid bandanna, a blue and white striped armband on his left arm, special sniper goggles (he also has a pair of clear rectangular goggles that he occasionally wears in situations where he does not have his sniper goggles), and no other clothing.

Also, he travels with a yellow sack in which he keeps all of his equipment. At times, Usopp’s outfit has changed in different arcs.

Usopp has far more muscle than previously and longer hair after the two-year timeskip. He is a little taller and has grown more "manly." Instead of his sniper goggles, which were not visible, Usopp is now wearing a new set of eye protection, headphones, or earplugs. Along with a brand-new white sun cap that he wears on his head, he also has a small goatee now.

He also has a pair of boots and a fresh pair of yellow trousers with red suspenders. He still wears his distinctive blue and white striped wristband on his left arm, while his signature yellow satchel has been swapped out for a red one. Usopp’s outfit has changed a few times after the timeskip.

Usopp is a really talented sniper. He was proven to have many of Yasopp's outstanding marksman skills early on in the series. He is an expert marksman who can make slingshots into powerful, scary weapons. Usopp can do severe damage from a distance when combined with special ammo like the Firebird Star.

The crew regards him not just as a sniper but also as their gunner, in charge of operating, maintaining, and using their ship's guns and artillery in addition to his slingshot. He also has exceptional expertise with various naval weapons and his slingshot. He knows how to use the Gaon Cannon of the Thousand Sunny and the ship cannons.

His accuracy at long ranges of almost a mile outperformed the Marines' guns, even with the wind working against him. His marksmanship is practically unrivaled. Usopp has exceptionally keen eyesight and has frequently seen or picked up on things before his crewmates.

Engineering Skills

Usopp's creativity and engineering knowledge are two of his most notable skills. Usopp was the Straw Hats' lone unofficial mechanical and gadgets expert before Franky joined the crew. Both the Clima-Tact and Kabuto were made possible by his inventive and innovative engineering, which he can further customize with dials and pop greens.

He is also entirely responsible for creating the incredibly creative slingshot pellets, or "stars," that he uses for ammo, demonstrating his obvious expertise in chemistry. He is largely inexperienced in other, more difficult tasks, such as serving as the shipwright for the Going Merry, as he was barely able to keep the ship operational while doing random repairs.

His abilities are amateur, as Franky noted, and he hardly even knows how to handle a hammer properly for such tasks. Usopp was happy to let Franky assume charge of maintaining the ship after he joined the crew, and he even granted his request for help. In exchange, Franky gave Usopp access to a workshop where he could work on his inventions and gadgets, which are more his style. Even Franky acknowledged how amazing his technological skills are.

Tactical Skills

Usopp is a highly analytical strategist who can use trickery and clever techniques to battle and defeat opponents that are physically stronger than him. He is also incredibly quick-witted and creative in battle. Usopp is so brilliant that he can even defeat foes who possess Devil Fruit abilities. Usopp's tactical skill considerably increased following the time skip.

Physical Strength

Usopp has learned to overcome his limitations by focusing on his skills. Even though he isn't as strong physically as the rest of his crew, Usopp has great stamina and willpower. He is incredibly resilient and can withstand heavy enemy attacks without significant harm.

He frequently sustains terrible wounds during major battles, typically due to his determination to achieve his objectives. Even with his injuries, he will try to go on. Usopp uses hit-and-run strategies to great effect, thanks to his remarkable speed.

He uses hit-and-run strategies in combat and performs best while working with a team of stronger opponents who can keep an eye on his back. This is because he is so anxious and nervous. He frequently surrenders to his basic survival instincts—fight or flight—often opting to flee. However, this appears to have altered after the time skip when he became more assured of his skills.

Usopp's skills in close battle are still somewhat limited. He acknowledged before the time skip that he could only carry a maximum of 5 kg and that he and Nami were significantly weaker and more average-looking than the other Straw Hats. He prefers to use homemade weapons, such as his hammers, because he is not skilled in martial arts.

Haki

Usopp could see the auras of Luffy, Law, and Sugar, who were in the royal palace, from the ancient King's Plateau near the Corrida Colosseum, indicating that he had awoken his Kenbunshoku Haki during the later stage of the Dressrosa revolt. With the help of this, he could locate Sugar and shoot her unconscious from a far distance.

He also displayed the great Kenbunshoku Haki in One Piece Film: Red. It allowed him to connect with his father despite being miles apart.

Weapons

Usopp's preferred tool for long-distance combat was a catapault, which he combined with various pellets. Despite being mostly jokes, Usopp has devised additional attacks unrelated to projectiles. The 5-Ton Hammer is one of these, among others. He has begun using Dials in his attacks, including the Impact Dial, which he uses to deflect and absorb blows, the Breath Dial, which he uses to store explosive gas, and the Flash Dial, which he uses to blind his opponents.

Usopp uses specialised goggles to improve his vision and/or concentrate. Usopp concentrates on using long-range weapons like his Pop Greens as the sniper for the Straw Hat Pirates. Because of the lack of close-range weaponry (other than his Dials and Hammers), he frequently uses long-range weapons at close range, endangering himself and his allies.

Ginga Pachinko

His primary battle weapon was his first slingshot, also known as the "Ginga Pachinko," and he carried a sizable shoulder bag containing various ammo. Once he runs out of ammunition, he frequently uses rocks and eggs to blind his opponents (before the time skip).

Kabuto

The "Kabuto," a second slingshot, comprises five bands attached to a long staff. It is powered by Skypiean Dials, giving it much more strength than his typical catapault. It has a vast range, and he can use it to precisely hit specific targets at apparently unimaginable distances of more than a mile.

The Kabuto's precise mechanisms are unclear, but it is known that its five bands boost stability (and hence range) and that its dials impart spin to ammo, similar to the rifling, to increase damage and accuracy as well as provide Usopp with a choice of Dial effects to choose from with each shot.

Kuro Kabuto

Usopp switches to a new "Kuro Kabuto" slingshot after the time skip, keeping the original Kabuto's five-band shape. The only change is that it is smaller and tinted black (whereas the first Kabuto was a staff, the new one is nearly the same size as his original slingshot).

Grow Up Kuro Kabuto

His new Kabuto can also convert into a more powerful and substantial form that he refers to as "Kuro Kabuto Chomping Grass." After being fed water, it consumes anything nearby, even boulders and rocks, for ammunition. For especially long-range attacks, he can enlarge it to a size he calls "Super Grow Up Kuro Kabuto

Pop Greens

Usopp added specialised seeds known as Pop Greens to his arsenal after two years of training; upon impact, these seeds rapidly sprout into super plants; the various species of plants have different traits and strange skills, providing the plants several fighting applications. To ensure a constant supply of seeds for Pop Greens, he keeps a small garden on the Thousand Sunny.

There are different types of Pop Greens performing different assaults when fired towards an opponent. Some of those are:

• A carnivorous plant with tendrils that looked like a gigantic Venus flytrap.

• Seaweed like plants to trap large boulders or opponents.

• A flower that produces a horrible smell.

• Pop Greens that make bamboo shoots erupt from the ground.

• Exploding Pop Greens.

• Transforming into a wolf.

• Certain Pop Greens can also be used for practical purposes (like boats and paddles).

Other Skills

• Usopp is a talented artist, as he showed at the start of the series when he created the Straw Hat's Jolly Roger in response to Luffy's poor drawing skills.

• Usopp has experience handling spiders without getting bitten by their fangs or poisoned in the process because he used to train them to fight when he was younger.

• Usopp and Robin serve as the crew's hairdressers. Therefore it stands to reason that they have some ability to cut hair.

• Usopp has gardening skills that he uses to grow Pop Greens for his weapons after the time skip, probably due to his time spent with Heracles.

• Usopp is also a skilled liar, which is helpful in some cases. Many of his lies are absurd; they have occasionally been proven true distraction tactics, especially when facing gullible foes. Sometimes, even if only temporarily, it serves as a barrier to keep his opponents at bay until they figure out his bluff. He frequently uses his bluffs, with mixed success.

• Because of his technical expertise, Usopp can build and enhance weapons using the available technology and equipment. Usopp concentrates on handheld weaponry, unlike Franky, who focuses on large weapons. His well-known works include the Clima-Tact, Kuro Kabuto, and Kabuto. Usopp put everything together after Nami provided him with the parts necessary to improve her Sorcery Clima-Tact from Weatheria, making it stronger and more effective.
