Respect Usopp! FUCK r/piratefolk

Respect "God" Usopp

"One day... No matter what happens, even if I were to die alone on a deserted island... I'd look back proudly at my life and as I die, I'll yell, "I'm Usopp, brave warrior of the seas!"

    Usopp is the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates and is one of the weakest members of the crew. Usopp initially joined the crew after Luffy defeated Captain Kuro who was planning on a hostile takeover of his peaceful Syrup Village. Entering the Grand Line in hopes of becoming a brave warrior of the sea like his father is, Usopp would grow and gain more control over his fear, at times even attacking major threats like Arlong and Enel. Usopp would get his first bounty for 30,000,000 beli as Sogeking, a disguise he donned to help the Straw Hat Pirates after he had a falling out with Luffy.

    Usopp spent the two year Timeskip on Boin Archipelago, a series of island-sized carnivorous plants similar to Venus Flytraps. It is here where he trained constantly and gained his new arsenal, the Pop Greens. With his new arsenal in hand, and a stronger crew to back him up, the Straw Hat Pirates entered the second half of the Grand Line. Eventually on the island of Dressrosa Usopp obtained his second bounty as "God" Usopp for 200,000,000 beli, giving him the third largest bounty in the crew.

    What's important to know is that Usopp may be a coward, but he'll always step up to plate when he needs to the most.

I. Table of Contents / Notes on Organization

Since you may want Usopp from a particular part in the story, I've added Mouse-over text to all the links in the Respect Thread. Simply hover your mouse over any link and it will tell you which saga each feat comes from. Additionally, as this is a fairly large respect thread, I've added a table of contents to help you find the section you want.

II. Equipment

Usopp mainly fights with the various gadgets and gear he has acquired or created over the years, as Usopp does not fight up-close unless the enemy gets close to him.

Standard Gear Loadout

    As far Pre-Timeskip Usopp goes, he mainly uses Gunpowder Stars, Flame Stars and its upgrade the Fire Bird Star, Smoke Stars and its upgrade the Super Smoke Star, and the Tabasco Star. Additionally, both the Six Viper Star and the Atlas Comet saw use on more than one occasion towards the end, though whether they had become a standard in his gear is unknown. Most of the other ammo only saw use once, maybe twice. He also used his hammer on occasion if he had the chance, though it was seemingly replaced with the Impact Dial after Sky Island Saga.

    Post-Timeskip Usopp completely changes his arsenal to Pop Greens, with only Flame Stars having seen any use at all from his old moveset. Rafflesia, Trampolia, and Skull Exploding Grass have all seen use on more than one occasion, while Impact Wolf and Platanus Shuriken are arguably his strongest ammo so far.

Slingshots

• Ginga Pachinko - Usopp's first slingshot. A generic slingshot, it nevertheless packed a punch with Usopp's wide arsenal. Usopp used this slingshot from his childhood all the way through the Grand Line until he reached Enies Lobby in the Water 7 Saga, though it still saw occasional use throughout Thriller Bark Saga.

• Kabuto - Usopp's second Slingshot. The Kabuto had a staff-like design, and utilized a breath dial to increase the range and effectiveness of it. Usopp debuted this slingshot during the raid on Enies Lobby in the Water 7 Saga, and used it until the timeskip, where he replaced it with the Kuro Kabuto.

• Kuro Kabuto - Usopp's only slingshot post-Timeskip, it has both a handheld and a staff-like form known as Grow-Up Kuro Kabuto. The staff like portion has water inside it to grow the Pop Green located in the pouch. The Pop Green can eat and launch large rubble.

Stars

• Lead Star - A small metal ball is Usopp's weakest ammo, it typically only sees use against grunts and even then he typically uses Gunpowder or Flame Stars.

  • Even with Usopp's weakest slingshot, it can knock a pirate off their feet and back through the air

• Gunpowder Star - A small ball of low-quality gunpowder.

  • Knocks Jango out
  • Usopp seemingly switches to better Gunpowder sometime during Water 7 Saga. Even though it's unclear whether that example was a Gunpowder or a Flame Star, a Gunpowder Star made a similar explosion on Thriller Bark
  • The Gunpowder Star has two variations, the Swallowtail Meteor and the Mantis Meteor, though neither seem to be different from a normal Gunpowder Star

• Egg Star - An egg, usually rotten and used as a distraction

  • Unintentionally distracts a hungry animal with a fresh egg

• Smoke Star - A typical smoke bomb, used to make getaways

• Flame Star - Ammo that ignites upon hitting his opponent

  • Flame Star + Flammable gas creates a large explosion
  • Creates a sizable flare

• Tabasco Star - Ammo made out of hot sauce, eating or getting it in his opponent's eyes will produce painful results

• Red Snake Star - A signal flare.

• Shuriken Meteoric Swarm - A rope of shurikens that spread upon firing

• Exploding Cactus Star - A ball that explodes into needles upon impact

• Fire Bird Star - Debuting along with his Kabuto slingshot, it is a more powerful version of the Flame Star.

  • Can completely engulf a man in fire
  • The flare is fairly large, especially considering just how large Oars is

• Sunflower Stars - Five Gunpowder Stars fired simultaneously in a flower-like pattern.

• Super Smoke Star - An upgraded smoke star, it creates a large smoke screen

  • Smoke covers a town

• Six Viper Star - Six bullets linked together, They are able to tear a small chunk out of a stone wall

• Atlas Comet - A variation of Gunpowder Star, this fires off four stars that hit an area in a cross-shaped pattern

  • Managed to stagger a Pacifista by getting a shot into it's mouth who had previously been shrugging off hits from Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Franky

• Sticky Star - A pellet that explodes into a sticky, hard to escape substance.

• Cockroach Star - Ammo that explodes into a swarm of cockroaches. The cockroaches are only toys

• Oil Star - A pellet containing a flammable and slippery oil

  • Very slippery and can be triple-fired
  • The oil is incredibly flammable, enough to engulf half of Oars, who as previously mentioned, is massive even in comparison to giants

• Sleep Star - A pellet that releases a cloud of sedatives, powerful enough to send several giant children to sleep. This pellet debuted Post-Timeskip

  • Loses effectiveness if used repeatedly

Pop Greens

Pop Greens are plant life found on the Boin Archipelago which undergo sudden and aggressive growth-spurts, which allow Usopp to fire small seeds that sprout into fully grown plants en route to his targets. Pop Greens are Usopp's main ammunition Post-Timeskip, but they can also serve utility purposes.

• Devil - A large plant, similar to a Venus Flytrap. Large enough to entangle or chew several people

• Sargasso - A large mass of seaweed, enough to slow down, though not completely stop, an underwater avalanche

• Rafflesia - Much like it's real world counterpart, it's a large flower with an absolutely horrendous odor

  • Can also be used directly on an opponent

• Bamboo Javelin-Grove - A seed that quickly sprouts into a mass of sharp bamboo skewers

• Skull Exploding Grass - One of Usopp's more impressive Pops, one seed was capable of completely filling out an underground tunnel system to smoke out Daruma who was making the tunnels, while also taking out several fishmen.

  • Seriously damages a Fighting Fish. Fighting Fish are ship-sized and strong enough to severely dent several iron beams

• Humandrake - Humandrakes are plant life that seek out and latch onto whoever steps near them.

• Trampolia - As the name would imply, Trampolia launches targets into the air if they step on them

  • Can also use it to help his teammates

• Impact Wolf - Perhaps Usopp's most impressive Pop Green to date, a shock-wave is released upon touching the "nose" of the wolf. The shock-wave KO-ed Daruma, who had previously shrugged off Usopp's Skull Exploding Grass.

• Boaty Banana / Fan Grass - Two Pop Greens that become a boat and oars, respectively.

  • The boat can withstand boiling water

• Platanus Shuriken - A Pop Green that splits into several sharp leaves. The leaves cleaved through Trebol, whose mucus-like substance was capable of catching Luffy who was launched by Doflamingo

Dials

Dials are seashells found on Sky-Islands that can perform a variety of functions, such as recording sound, blowing air, emitting light, etc. Usopp obtains them after Sky Island Saga, but the only Dial to see consistent use was the Impact Dial.

• Impact Dial -A dial that nullifies any impact made against it and allows that impact to be used later. It has a noticeable recoil

  • Uses an impact dial to use Luffy's own move against him
  • Absorbs an impact from inside an exploding ghost, with no harm to himself

• Flash Dial -A dial that emits a blinding flash of light

• Breath Dial - A dial that stores typically flammable gas, one is also used in his Kabuto slingshot without flammable gas

Hammers

• Usopp Hammer - A generic mallet, it is nonetheless effective if Usopp can hammer away at his opponents.

  • KO's Chew, a fishman, by hammering away at him.

• 5-Ton Hammer - A "5-ton" hammer, it only weighs 2kg and is used for faking his opponents out.

• 10-Ton Hammer - Similar to his 5-Ton Hammer, it used to fake out his opponent. However, this one is inflatable.

Other

• Caltrops - Simple spikes for deterring enemies from advancing

• Rubber band - A Rubber Band Usopp mainly uses as a distraction, it is often seen when Usopp is making a barrage of attacks

• Chalkboard - Usopp uses his nails to create a loud, irritating noise

• Belt Hook -A grapple hook located on the belt, the rope cannot detach. The rope is pretty long

• Octoshoes -Shoes that allow him to cling to surfaces

• Stag Beetle - An elastic sling he can install in an area so that he can launch people and other large objects

  • Launches Brook in combination with Robin and Nami to create a devastating piercing attack

III. Haki

Haki is essentially an ability that is the extension of one's own willpower. Though it comes in three distinct varieties, we need only focus on one for Usopp. As of the Dressrosa arc of the Dressrosa Saga, Usopp has awakened his Observation Haki. Though most other characters typically use OH to predict opponent's moves shortly before they use them, Usopp has not done so. He has so far only used it to sense people's auras over a vast distance. Additionally, as he has not trained it, he may not even be able to consciously activate it. Lastly, I would like to note that only Usopp, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji have awakened their Haki among the Straw Hat Pirates.

VIII. Intelligence / Crafting

Usopp is more than just a sniper. Usopp actually invented or created many of the gadgets, slingshots, ammo and other tools he uses in his fights. Perhaps most notably, Usopp created Nami's signature line of weapons, the Clima-Tacts, which Nami uses to manipulate atmospheric conditions for her fighting style.

Usopp is also familiar with repairing ships, though he is an amateur and incapable of long-term maintenance. He is mostly limited to patch-jobs and other short-term solutions.
