Background / History

Usopp reached Skypiea with the Straw Hat Pirates aboard the Knock Up Stream. Excited by the Sea of Clouds, he impulsively jumped overboard, only to fall through the clouds and require a joint rescue by Luffy and Robin. The experience left him terrified of Skypiea’s hazards. 171

At Water 7, Usopp focused on saving the badly damaged Going Merry. He sought out Iceburg for repairs and struggled to accept that the ship’s damage was irreversible; soon afterward, the Franky Family attacked and left him gravely injured. Lu Yu found and healed him. 203 204 205

Following the Straw Hats’ setbacks against the Pacifistas, Lu Yu reprimanded Usopp and the crew for neglecting their training. Usopp was among the first sent away by Lu Yu for further training. 235 238

Personality

Usopp is imaginative, expressive, and prone to grandiose self-promotion. He readily adopts heroic titles such as “Usoland” and enjoys the recognition that follows, though the attention can quickly overwhelm him. 348 364 415

He is also intensely fearful of powerful enemies and dangerous situations. He repeatedly argues for caution, whether facing the Four Emperors or confronting threats in Dressrosa and Zou. 696 660

Despite this fear, Usopp repeatedly chooses to act when others depend on him. After initially fleeing from Trebol, he returned upon hearing the Tontatta Tribe’s defiance, admitted that he was not their legendary hero, and resolved to save them anyway. 394 396

Abilities & Skills

Sniping

Usopp is the Straw Hat Pirates’ long-range specialist. He can calculate projectile trajectories under pressure and strike targets that are far beyond normal visual range. 470

• Fired Sure-Kill: Long-Range Green Star: Caterpillar at Sugar from a distant tower while Viola provided positioning information. 470
• Mentally calculated wind direction, wind force, booster timing, trajectory, and the target window’s dimensions during the shot. 470
• Awakened the ability to perceive distant auras while trying to locate Sugar, allowing him to distinguish Luffy, Law, and Sugar through an obstruction. 470
• Used a Kanjuro-drawn projectile resembling his ultra-spicy-pill appearance to terrify Sugar into unconsciousness. 471

Green Star Ammunition

Usopp employs plant-based Green Star ammunition for combat and utility. 396 616

Engineering and Weapon-Making

Usopp designs and improves equipment for his crew, combining Pop Green technology with Weatheria devices. 716

• Created Nami’s new Sorcery Clima-Tact using Weatheria equipment and Pop Green growth power; Franky assisted with its surface processing. 716
• The Clima-Tact can extend and retract with controlled force and produce storm clouds for lightning attacks. 716
• His work on the Clima-Tact was praised by Nami after she tested it. 716

Improvisation

Usopp frequently relies on deception, unusual tactics, and quick planning rather than direct force. 471

• Took command of the freed toys and directed them to destroy the underground factory after they mistook his fragmented words for divine guidance. 402

Relationships

• Nico Robin — Crewmate and partner during the Dressrosa infiltration. Robin remained composed while supporting Usopp’s decisions in the underground operation. 367
• Nami — Crewmate for whom Usopp built the Sorcery Clima-Tact. She praised the completed weapon after testing it. 716
• Lu Yu — Usopp addresses him as “Boss.” Lu Yu healed Usopp after the Franky Family attack and later sent him away for training due to his laziness. 205 238
• Tontatta Tribe — The tribe reveres him as the legendary hero “Usoland.” Their faith pushed Usopp to confront Trebol and Sugar despite his fear. 348 394 396

• Kanjuro — Collaborated with Usopp to create the drawn projectile that frightened Sugar unconscious. 471

Story Role / Major Arcs

Skypiea

Usopp’s reckless leap into the Sea of Clouds nearly killed him, requiring Luffy and Robin to rescue him. He later adjusted to Skypiea’s thin air alongside the rest of the crew. 171

Water 7

Determined to preserve the Going Merry, Usopp appealed to Iceburg for repairs and was devastated by the ship’s condition. His isolation afterward led to the Franky Family’s assault, which left him near death before Lu Yu healed him. 203 204 205

Dressrosa and Operation SOP

Mistaken for the legendary “Usoland,” Usopp became the Tontatta Tribe’s nominal leader in their plan to defeat Sugar and liberate the toy slaves. Though frightened by the scale of the operation, he infiltrated the underground factory with Robin and accepted responsibility for the tribe. 348 367

When Trebol attacked the Tontattas, Usopp initially ran away but returned, revealed his true identity, and fought Trebol with Green Star attacks. Though Trebol survived, Usopp’s actions inspired the tribe and laid the groundwork for Sugar’s defeat. 394 396

Usopp’s successful long-range operation against Sugar freed those transformed into toys and caused the underground resistance to erupt. The freed people mistook him for a divine savior and bestowed the title God Usopp upon him. 399 402 471

After Dressrosa

Usopp received a bounty of 200 million Beli and was distressed that his wanted poster used a full-face photograph, making him easier to identify. 614

His reputation continued to spread; Carrot described him as “God Usopp” with eight hundred underlings. 713

Zou

On Zou, Usopp remained wary of hostile forces and relied on Lu Yu’s strength for security. He also became emotionally attached to Kanjuro’s poorly drawn dragon, Ryunosuke, and angrily defended its efforts when Zoro and Law dismissed it. 641 640

Trivia

• Usopp’s nickname “God Usopp” arose after sunlight shone on him amid the freed toys’ celebration, causing them to interpret his unclear speech as sacred guidance. 402
• His Tontatta title “Usoland” began as a case of mistaken identity but became a symbol of hope during the rebellion. 348 396
• He was pleased by his 200 million Beli bounty despite immediately worrying that the full-face poster would make him a target. 614
