What happens to Usopp in Elbaf?

But did you know  there is even some evidence that we could see him   eat a devil fruit, awaken his conqueror’s haki,  AND lead an entire army of giants? Who by the way   are actually WAY STRONGER than we ever imagined! But more on that later because all of this starts   with this panel right here.

Will Usopp get power up in Elbaf?

Because in chapter one  thousand one hundred and twenty three, we clearly   see that Usopp is the main straw hat celebrating  with the giants. Which just absolutely doubles   down on what we’ve seen all throughout the story  that Usopp and the giants are kindred spirits.   Deep down, Usopp has the heart of a giant warrior  despite his somewhat scaredy cat personality. He   has always connected with them whenever they show  up in the story.

Will Usopp shine in Elbaf?

Just like the Giant Captains   Dorry and Brogy back on Little Garden or when  Usopp befriended these two giants right here and   turned them from slaves of the world government  into allies. But to top it all off, one of   Usopp’s greatest dreams is to visit the land of  Elbaf. So yeah, this HAS TO BE Usopp’s arc, and   I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes another huge  step towards fulfilling his true goal of becoming   a brave warrior of the sea by the end of the arc.

Which is going to take a massive transformation in   more ways than one. Because Oda has perfectly set  up several incredible power ups that could take   Usopp from one of the weakest fighters in the  crew to one of the most devastatingly powerful.   The first of these power boosts is actually not  for Usopp himself but actually for his Kuro Kabuto   slingshot.

Because you have to remember that  literally every single time that Usopp visits   a place with new or advanced technology, he  gets an upgraded weapon. It happened after   they visited Skypiea where he went from his toy  like slingshot to his Kabuto which incorporated   the dial technology from Skypiea. Then during the  time skip he developed a smaller version, which   is his current weapon that we see him using today  plus he got a whole bunch of cool new projectiles   to shoot at enemies.

So if Usopp can go from  basically a toy to a legit ranged weapon with   just some shells and plants, CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE  what kind of awesome upgrades he could create with   the incredible technology from Egghead Island. And the possibilities are really endless here.   Oda please. I want to see heat seeking  slingshots bombs. Laser scopes. Hologram   projectiles.

I mean the sky is the limit  here, especially considering that Lilith   is still with the crew and should be able to  help Usopp trick out his slingshot. Who knows,   maybe What is Role of Usopp in Elbaf ? his slingshot will become a legendary grade  weapon similar to the Twelve Supreme grade swords.  Which Usopp might seriously need if he is going  to face off with the person who will be his main   rival during Elbaf: his dad, Yasopp.

Usopp Elbaf power up

And honestly,  I’m not too sure how Usopp will feel when he meets   his father. Remember that Yasopp abandoned  Usopp and his mother to join Shanks’ crew,   and ultimately Usopp’s mother died without his dad  ever returning home. So how will he feel when he   sees dear old dad again? Will he be full of hate  and resentment? I probably would be. Or will he   just want to prove himself to the man who left  him? This is probably the most likely scenario,   and it could lead to one awesome snipe off to see  who truly is the greatest sniper in the world. 

However, a buffed up slingshot isn’t the only  powerup we could see for Usopp in Elbaf. And hear   me out for this one, because how cool would it be  if Usopp ate a devil fruit? And not just any devil   fruit, I’m talking specifically about the Human  Human fruit Model Giant. That’s right! What if   Usopp could transform into a literal giant? Be a  real full circle moment for Usopp and his love of   the fearsome giants. I’d certainly love to see it.

Usopp Elbaf arc

However, it is kinda rare to see a giant with a   devil fruit. In fact, we’ve only ever seen two  in the entire story with these two right here,   so maybe devil fruits aren’t much of a thing in  Elbaf. That is the exact opposite for haki though   because Elbaf is shaping up to a MAJOR haki  arc, just like Wano. Because just listen to   all of the important haki moments we were just  shown.

First, we were blown away by Joy Boy’s   ancient haki blast. Which certainly hyped up haki  for the entire fanbase. On top of that we have a   character with the current most impressive  haki feats waiting in Elbaf with Shanks.  But that’s not even close to all we  have seen because in this chapter it   was basically confirmed that the giants are  all WAY stronger than we thought.

I mean,   back in the pre-timeskip the giant captains Dorry  and Brogy got wiped out by fairly weak Mr. 3,   so we never really got a good read on their power  levels. But now, we know they are confirmed to be   above Vice Admiral tier haki since they all  survived Joy Boy’s haki blast. Plus we got   a clear demonstration of What is Role of Usopp in Elbaf ? observation haki when  Dory and Broggy stated that they couldn’t feel   the enemies’ presence anymore.

Plus, they blocked  Warcury’s charge, which is an impressive feat on   its own. And that’s not even mentioning the way  they OBLITERATED the Kid pirate’s ship. So yeah,   these giants are WAY stronger than we thought. What’s even more impressive though is that these   two giant captains seem so familiar with  conqueror’s haki that they were able to   classify Joy Boy’s conqueror’s as stronger  than Shanks’ haki.

Which isn’t confirmation   that the giants have conquerors, but they  definitely seem familiar with conquerors   which is important enough on its own. But let me bring all this back around   to Usopp because there are a few hints about  Usopp and conqueror’s haki that we just have   to address. First, we should all know by now that  Usopp’s lies often come true.

And one of his most   famous lies was that he is going to lead an army  of eight thousand men. And while that obviously   hasn’t happened yet, what better time and place  for Usopp to lead an army than the arc that he has   been waiting so long for? But if Usopp is going to  lead an army of giants, then he’s probably going   to have to level up his own haki and possibly  even awaken conqueror’s .

Will Usopp get power up in Elbaf?

Which sounds absurd,   I know. Usopp with conqueror’s haki? Usually you’d  never think it would happen, but then we have this   scene right here from Wano where he claims Big  Mom’s conqueror’s blast as his own. And as we   just discussed, Usopp’s lies have a habit of  coming true, so I wouldn’t be surprised one bit   to see Usopp awaken the Haki of the Supreme King.

And how hilarious would it be if Usopp awakened   Conqueror’s before Sanji? Sign me up for that. Seriously though, since Luffy had a whole haki   training arc during Wano, Elbaf could be the time  that the rest of the crew levels up their haki by   training with the Giants. That’s not to say Luffy  doesn’t need training though because with the   demonstration of Joy Boy’s haki we can clearly see  that Luffy has a ways to go if he wants to be the   strongest. And before he can even think about Joy  Boy’s level he needs to pass his mentor Shanks’  

What does Usopp do in Elbaf

haki levels. Which uhh, good luck with that. And the clash between mentor and protege is one   I’m ABSOLUTELY DYING to see, but that’s far from  the only conflict we can expect on Elbaf because   there are a few other characters that we can  expect to make moves in the land of the giants.  First, have you forgotten about this guy? Yeah,  I wouldn’t blame you because he is the only   Supernova to not play a meaningful role in the  story so far.

However, Elbaf is the perfect time   for him to appear because let’s not forget that  Urouge is from the Sky Island Birka. So with that,   plus the fact that we suspect that Elbaf  has a way to get up into the Sky Islands,   I am almost positive that we will see Urouge play  a role in whatever conflict we get on Elbaf. At   least that’s if he doesn’t get wiped out by Enel  first, who could also make his return in the land   of the giants.

Usopp get Power In ELBAF One piece

And this would be the perfect  time to return because we’ve recently had all   the connections between Vegapunk’s Mother Flame  and the mysterious sun drawings from his cover   story. So perhaps Enel actually knows more about  the mother flame at this point than anyone else.  But let’s shift gears a bit here because we’ve  spent almost this whole time talking about Elbaf   and what we hope to see, but now let’s talk about  an INSANE TEASER that Oda snuck into this chapter   which has made me come up with a theory that might  explain how Luffy eventually saves the world. 

Now obviously we got a TON of MIND BLOWING  lore drops during the Egghead island arc,   and you might have thought we were all done with  that, but you can’t forget that Oda is a very   sneaky guy. And I’m here to tell you that IN THIS  VERY CHAPTER he might have hinted at how Luffy   will eventually save the world. Let’s break down  what I’m going to call the Island Cloud Theory. 

And it all starts with the fact that according to  Vegapunk, the world is going to flood again very   soon. We won’t get into too much detail here,  but essentially this is because the use of the   ancient weapons – or at least this one right here  – causes the sea levels to rise all around the   world.

12:54

And he is predicting that these ancient  weapons will be used frequently in the future   resulting in a WORLD WIDE flood that could wipe  out literally EVERYONE! Except for the people in   the sky, but we’ll get to that in just a moment. So, we have our end of story world destruction   device, and the next question we have to ask  is how will Luffy stop it. Well, the simplest   answer is that Luffy and the crew would simply  defeat Imu and the Gorosei before the flood even   occurs.

13:32

But come on! We know Oda is going to  milk every last ounce of drama he can, and when   he uses these ticking time bomb plot devices they  usually go until it seems like there is no hope   left. So in this case I would bet EVERYTHING –  even my teenage cat Gojo who now suddenly just   wants to sleep all the time – that we will see  some massive flood threaten the entire world.  Which of course means that Luffy will have to  stop it.

14:06

But how? Well, the answer might have   been shown to us in this very chapter because  check out this thing right here. You see this   thing right here is the key to everything,  and in the flashback of the current chapter   Vegapunk even highlights that this machine is  just as important as the Mother Flame. In fact,   he even drops the hint that this machine is the  key to saving the world if a flood does occur. 

Now you might be wondering well, how does this  thing actually work? Well, without getting   into too many details we do know that it produces  “Island Clouds” which are the same as the fluffy,   yet solid, clouds that make up the Sky Islands.  And as we see, these clouds are strong enough   to hold up the massive LaboSphere, so it’s  safe to say that they are pretty dang strong.  

Which is pretty impressive on its own, but  clearly one island sized cloud is not nearly   enough to save the world from a giant flood. Here’s where things get a bit more interesting,   and where we have to dive headfirst into theory  world. Because while we are ever told this, we can   assume that the Island Cloud Machine is powered by  the Mother Flame technology that Vegapunk created   as a super energy source.

However, as we already  know and Vegapunk even repeated in this chapter,   the Mother Flame is not a perfect energy source.  In fact, even though much of Vegapunk’s technology   is based on things he discovered from the ancient  past, his Mother Flame is not even close to being   the perfect Energy source that we call the Eternal  Flame.

And this Eternal Flame was so powerful that   it was said to power ALL of the Ancient Kingdom’s  advanced technology. Which is just INSANE to   think about. One single power source literally  feeding everything. So can you JUST IMAGINE if   you take that perfect power source and plug it  into this island cloud machine? Like forget an   island sized cloud, how about a continent sized  cloud!? Or an entire world sized cloud! Which   actually might not be the greatest idea because it  could block out the sun and all that, but still,   there’s potential here to create enough clouds  of big enough size to save everyone from a flood. 

Of course, there are some MAJOR issues though. The  first is that no one knows what happened to the   Eternal Flame and even Vegapunk couldn’t recreate  it perfectly. Luckily though, we have some hints   as to how to rekindle this legendary power source.  And it all comes back to Luffy.

Because if we turn   back to chapter one thousand one hundred and six,  we see the Giant Robot Emeth awaken for the first   time. And of course, it only awakened when Luffy  used his Gear 5 transformation. And bear with me   as I connect these dots here. But this is super  important because as we know from another giant   creature, Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation sends out  this wild rhythm called the Drums of Liberation.  

So the theory goes that since Luffy’s Drums  of Liberation was enough to power up Emeth,   then this power must have something to do  with the ancient Eternal Flame. I mean it   just makes too much sense. Emeth is ancient  technology and he is only awakened by Luffy’s   Drums of Liberation.

17:34

And we assume this  rhythm hasn’t been heard since the Void   Century. So it is entirely possible that  Luffy literally is the Eternal Flame,   and once he masters his Gear 5 powers he will  be a perfect energy source for the entire   world. Literally a shining sun bursting  with power. However, it is probably not   that simple. There is no doubt though that Luffy  seems to be the key to reviving the Eternal Flame. 

18:07

So bringing this all back to the island cloud  machine, if Luffy could somehow supercharge its   cloud producing abilities then he could save  the entire world from the catastrophic flood.  There are a few other drawbacks to this  idea though. For one, we know that island   clouds don’t usually keep their solid form when  they are down close to the ocean.

18:33

Even Vegapunk   had to create a climate controlled area within  Egghead Island, which allows the Island Clouds   to function properly. However, based on this  panel right here they clearly had plans to be   able to expand this ideal climate to the whole  world. So sure, creating world saving clouds to   save everyone from a flood is a bit of an insane  theory, but so far it’s the best idea I’ve had for   how Luffy could stop a world wide flood.

19:02

But of course, even if it isn’t used on   such a large scale, this island cloud machine  could be used on a smaller scale. And one   perfect use I can think of should be relevant  again very soon. Because remember Urouge home   island Birka was completely wiped out by Enel.  So since we do expect Urogue to reappear during   the Elbaf arc then a perfect use for the  island cloud machine could be to repair   Birka to its original state.

Otherwise it could  be used to help reach the giants’ Prince Loki   who presumably lives up in the clouds as well. But we are forgetting one very important issue   here: How the heck would the straw hats use  the machine if it is still located on Egghead   Island? And honestly, yeah, that’s a great point.  Except for this detail that you might have missed   right here.

Because here we see that Jinbe had  packed up some sort of luggage to take to the   Sunny. And then Jinbe just kinda vanishes.  Yeah, we don’t see much of him at all for   around ten chapters. So just what exactly was  he doing? Maybe carrying some super top secret   technology onto Sunny? We don’t know quite  yet, but that’s just one of dozens of INSANE   details that you likely missed during the Egghead  Island arc, and if you want to see all of those,   you can watch this video right here.
