How Will USOPP Defeat VAN AUGUR?? USOPP'S ULTIMATE UPGRADE!!!

[@StrewthStoatPirate]

I am still of the opinion that the Van Auger battle will end with every "miss" from Usopp in the battle having been the deliberate placement of a specific pop green, creating an inescapable trap that goes off all at once, Rube Goldberg-style.

[@dittosame-o67]

Hey, you’re strengthening the thesis paper.

[@JonathanFlexx]

I think Usopp will just predict his teleportations with super observation haki which we have strongly foreshadowed for him. I'm pretty sure devil fruits will be the downfall of Blackbeard and his crew because he's after what in his eyes is tangible power, then we have Kaido clearly stating that no devil fruit power will rule the seas - only haki. Roger didn't have a devil fruit, neither does Shanks, Zoro, Sanji, Rayleigh, Ben Beckman, Jinbei and many other of the obviously strongest characters in the verse.

[@CMB505]

I like this theory, but would love to add onto it a bit since we're missing one of his newest abilities; Observation Haki. I have my own theory where Usopp kinda develops his own brand Observation Haki where it somewhat acts like Katakuri's. Where he can see the future. However, since Usopp is so negative and a pessimist, he's refined it so that he can see BAD futures. Aka, ones where he dies. Not just the normal future, but all negative possibilities of future events. That would let him keep toe-to-toe against a man who can warp anywhere.

[@dittosame-o67]

Your interpretation is stated in a more tangible way that builds upon an older theory I’ve seen. You worded it better. Katakuri? Hmm…

And then I remembered…. It’s Oda we are talking about and this might be hilarious enough to actually happen 😂😂😂😂

[@thusspokethestruggler]

This channel genuinely never ceases to amaze me. Not only are these theories consistently about less mainstream theories (Void Century, Shanks, Joyboy, The End of One Piece, etc), but are some of the most thought provoking ones no less. I think people have been hyping up Usopp's potential upgrade in Elbaf to the point little to no one even considered this avenue. Not only does it fit, but hell it feels nearly prophetic! Of course, time will tell if it was or wasn't. But even so, this was an awesome perspective! Keep serving up these bangers, brother!

I think that Usopp developing Kabuto offscreen is totally normal. He's one of three, maybe four Straw Hats that developed new skills after the Aokiji confrontation. Luffy had his gears, Sanji had Diable Jambe (probably), Usopp had his Kabuto, and while I don't remember Nami's scene, Enies Lobby is also the forst time she uses her upgraded Clima Tact, which she notably didn't have in Skypeia

“Character known for building things builds something off-screen” isn’t a plot hole, that’s not what plot holes are. It’s like saying we didn’t see him develop his shurikens or Tabasco stars so that must be a plot hole. It’s just an incidental thing that is probably happening that the story doesn’t need to elaborate on. Like we know Nami is charting islands but Oda doesn’t feel like drawing it because that’s not important to the story that’s being told. There is plenty of opportunity for the kabuto to be in RnD between Skypia and it’s unveiling even if it’s not just a single dedicated moment of invention.

[@AnchorCrab]

I'm glad somebody called this out. Not everything needs a direct on-screen explanation! It's not like we see Usopp building Nami's first clima-tact before she uses it either.

Even though, I really do wonder if he practices his marksmanship off screen. I feel like to some extent, he doesn’t feel the need to.

You are aware that the Tabasco stars were shown being made before the Baratie right? So the "plot hole" that is being discussed is why wasn't this particular weapon shown being developed?

I think the blackbeard vs strawhat pirates will go down with them being new to their devil fruits thus too reliant upon abilities they're not experienced with. We've been told by blackbeard Logia types get too comfortable because they can't be touched. We see Van augur mention recently in manga he's still getting used to his teleport ability due to its limited range. These are both foreshadowing that their df abilities will be their downfall. Relying on them too heavily, and not having experience thus being what causes them to lose. In Van Augur's case it could be that Usopp's observation haki becomes so absurdly powerful that he can predict where Van Augur will teleport to, and recognize his limitations, so everytime he teleports boom another blast to the face which would make for an insane fight scene for Usopp to look like a total badass.

[@dittosame-o67]

And people will call it an A$$ pull. Maybe I should stop caring about what everyone else thinks 🙁 Especially when you just cooked.

[@BlitzedKip420]

Seems far more likely that it's actually implying the opposite seeing as thus far VAs use of the fruit has been extremely fkn powerful, nothing but clutch moves while STILL being a newish fruit for him, and by the time they actually square up against the BBP he will have mastered it if not straight up awkened his fruit. Bizzare to me that you somehow think it implies it will be his downfall when thus far we have seen like, little to no actual examples of their fruits failing them. This one scenario with VA on Egghead actually WORKED in their favor since where they landed allowed them to not only steal a Goroseis image, but allowed Caribou the opprunity to sp[ill the beans on all the ancient weapon. AKA blatant plot armor bullshit. It's just more examples of BB along Luffy being the single 2 most lucky mfs in verse. tl;dr -- No. Absolutely not. Ass backwards if anything.

[@dittosame-o67]

@@BlitzedKip420 I doubt we’ll get a DF awakening from Van Augur. I don’t think that much time will pass for that to occur. Yet, I do think one of the only ways we could get a good idea of who Usopp is up against, is by having Van Augur and Yasopp duel. Sure, Van Augur has showcased his sniping prowess a handful of times, but I definitely think we could get a bigger idea of how he works in action up against someone who stands a chance up against him. Rather than the opponent whom a lot of people seem to doubt.

[@Shan_Troker]

Ever since Van Auger's DF was revealed, I've been wondering just how Usopp will deal with him, and I really thunk you're onto something here.

[@FJLink]

Having Usopp being chased again would make a lot of sense considering the trajectory so far. Plus it's easy to forget that these fights need a context, so Usopp could be trying to protect something, to carry something somewhere. This was a really fun video. Great job :)

[@ReiseLukas]

I like to think Usopp will be carrying the One Piece itself.

[@doubledamn2599]

Minor point, maybe in favour of foreshadowing this - one of Usopp's named attacks is 'Atlas Comet'.

[@EresirThe1st]

I love the idea of the Atlas beetle devil fruit Kabuto, however I do think Usopp will fight Van Augur more straight up because that's the appropriate end to one of the narrative arcs for Usopp: overcoming his cowardice. Usopp actually said he was going to stop being a coward during his timeskip training, but then he was just the same as always - I guess because Oda wanted it for gags.

I’m an avid believer that it’s not simply a gag thing (maybe part of it, but not ALL).

If it was a hammer that could change sizes not only could he handle it and then just make it big on impact, he could make it really small and shoot it with his slingshot and then make it expand on the way there. I think a shrinking/growing hammer would be an ideal upgrade for Usopp. Plus he has used hammers in the past it's not like he only uses the slingshot.

[@djangoleonhardt337]

Nice theory, man. I always thought of an Insect theme when it comes to Usopp's possible power up since that one scene in Jaya Island. P.S. Whenever I heard the word KABUTO, I always associated with the Fossil Pokemon and KABUTERIMON from Digimon, which, by the way, can evolve in ATLAS-Kabuterimon.

[@dandaman0196]

Sounds like a solid theory, he could also adapt mobility tech from vegapunk but your theory is better. I've always been surprised he hasn't used impact dials in his upgrades, designed to tank damage and triple the damage taken to an attack. Seems perfect for usop given he can just fire them as a shot to mitigate the blowback on himself. Or use them as mines, seems like a solid method to lock down a person's mobility. If he can predict Van augers position (observation haki?) then he could use the dials as mines for wherever he predicts auger to show up at. Again a way to use them without him tanking the blowback of the dials on himself. It also works in with the hit and run tactics auger can't fly but with the devil fruit usopp can, so usopp avoids attacks knowing auger is limited to the ground and sets up mines, possibly in the window that auger is teleporting in so he can't see it

[@lukeahn0330]

Btw as a person who breeds beetles and kept an atlas here are some things to note down about it 1. PRETTY GOOD FLIGHT, like sometimes It just hovers perfectly as if it's levitating 2. strong ability to climb, it has sharp claws to attach to trees and skins 3. It's pretty gentle so I don't think it would be on the offense side more on the defense side 4. Very strong shell like if you drop it off a 2 story building It will survive So in conclusion anyone with the atlas beetle devil fruit would have good defense and mobility. also like many other beetles atlas beetles may have decent eyesight but they have strong antennaes that can detect chemicals in the air like chemicals from foods, other beetles, and etc. Maybe the atlas beetle can have some sort obv haki

At the cost of being very frail and prone to blowing up if any brawler ever closes the distance.

I wouldn't go as far as calling Usopp the greatest sniper of the East Blue by the time the crew entered the Grand Line, the 'duel' he won against Big Daddy was just about whether or not he could hit a distant target. Succeeding doesn't make him the better sniper. Plus Usopp had additional time to finish the Kabuto while the Strawhats hat moved to a hotel in Water 7 after his duel with Luffy.

[@TeddyBerry]

My little pet theory for a while has been that his Kabuto will be fed the Paw-Paw Fruit. Incorporating the devil fruit number theory. It could allow him to push projectiles even faster away or push out his own accumulated damage or depression and anxiety to shove it into his enemies. Haven't seen the whole video yet so maybe you say the same.

So, I don’t know what Usopp’s final upgrade will be, but I think you’re on to something on the mounted combat thing I never considered before but it’s so self-evident when you lay it out like this. But I don’t know if it’s gonna be the Kabuto getting a fruit. I think it might be a little more meaningful if it’s Chopper and Usopp riding into combat together. So whatever upgrade that might happen next, I do like the idea that it is beetle-themed, I’m just not sure what it would be. But your ideas have a lot of good solid grounding in them.

[@nedrah3490]

It's my personal theory that he'll get the Mushi Mushi no mi: Model Bombadier Beetle. It's pretty clear a beetle zoan makes the most sense, but to give a weapon already named Kabuto a beetle zoan that basically just mimics it's design doesn't really aid Usopps character design and is a little too on the nose. But to give Kabuto a beetle zoan that has literally evolved to produce it's own projectile in the form of "shooting" a caustic liquid from it's body makes the most sense. Either that or Kuma dies and his fruit spawns on the ship in Nami's fruit garden, or he survives and Vegapunk gives him the pawpaw fruit, but due to how things are currently evolving on Egghead, it makes it unlikely Vegapunk will be in a position to retrieve a fruit to give Usopp before they leave. But if that does happen, Vegapunk has likely already cloned the pawpaw fruit due to his relationship and experimentation on Kuma. You have to realize that Kabuto is not an inanimate object, it is a living thing, therefore it is not limited by the "zoan only" niche for things like swords or cannons. This would allow the Kabuto to fire any projectile at the same speed Kuma can push people, which could potentially aid him fighting Van Auger as he would not be able to warp fast enough to dodge the projectiles, it also gives the super grown up kabuto the ability to fire people or any large object again at that same speed. Since the living part of the Kabuto that manifests becomes the pouch in the grown up forms, it makes the most sense that the paw pad that activates the ability would exist on or in the mouth of the plant which is where Usopp loads all of his projectiles. It also gives him the ability to fire highly compressed air similar to the Urusus Shock ability Kuma uses.

This absolutely needs to happen. It would be so cool to see the beetle transformering back and forth and flying him around.

[@jonboy_1000]

My problem with Ussop beating Van Auger is that Van Auger is a Yonko commander and also likely a really experienced Haki user and Ussop attacks were only able to take out much lower-tier characters. So I can't see him becoming sniper king especially how he would have to somehow reach Yassop who has one of the most powerful observation haki in the series(and likely even achieved future sight and at least a decent amount of armament haki) by the end of the saga. I like Ussop and would like that to happen in the story but I can't see him surpassing Van Auger without any haki and also due to being one of the weakest straw hat members.

The helmet type samurai wore together with their armor was also called "kabuto", not only because it resembled a beetle's shell, the helmets of Daimyos and other nobles were often adorned with decorations that resembled the horns of a rhinoceros beetle.

In my opinion the fight between Van Augur and Usopp is gona be the turn around for his character. Usopp wants to be "a brave warrior of the sea". The only thing "missing" is the bravery. I think Usopp will start out fleeing and being chased down, but when he notices this is not gonna help at all he will be forced to become brave by stop running away and fight. At which point he is going to completely flip the script around. This would both break Augur "its fate and its impossible to change" philosophy AND give him the title of BRAVE warrior of the sea. So basically Usopp will be forced to become brave when confronted with an opponent he cannot run away from. Instead he'll start running around Van Augur, being smart about it and setting traps with his pop greens, from there the fight goes from completely one sided towards Van Augur to a "fair" fight and then also completely one sided but towards Usopp's side. With Usopp CHASING him. Which given that Yasop nickname is CHASER would make it a very clever foreshadowing from Oda.

[@Vanced-ii3bj]

14:25 A thought occurred that Usopp could take an unconventional approach by allowing his weapon to consume the devil fruit, without delving into the conventional methods of granting inanimate objects devil fruit powers. This could offer an additional rationale for why the theory of Nami's Climate Tact acquiring the Snow-Snow Fruit ability wasn't happening, aside from the Straw Hats' lack of knowledge or interest in the matter.

[@ByrneBaby]

Kabuto was definitely made right after the fight with Luffy. Usopp most likely made it in response to losing so badly to his former captain and as a way to steel his resolve for going to Enies Lobby as Sniper King. The thought process being "If I'm going to help Robin, I'll need a better weapon." He was given full ownership of Merry after the fight, and so he had access to his workshop for the entire time prior to the Sea Train arc. My best guess is he used scrap and wood planks from around Water Seven to make it, since there's plenty of it around to use and he has tons of experience being the ship's carpenter prior to Franky joining. The climate baton upgrades he made were on short notice, too, so it stands to reason he could very easily and very quickly make himself a better slingshot with enough time and resources, and he had plenty while the coup was happening in the mansion, as well as after meeting Franky and learning Merry can't be saved. ALSO, yeah, it was confirmed that because zoan fruits have their own personalities/souls, they're uniquely able to be applied to inanimate objects.

These are by FAR his weakest points. Usopp is arguably one of the two slowest and least agile strawhat pirates in competition with Nami. His best skills are these. -Accuracy and long range weaponry -Resourcefulness and craftiness -Trickery/lying and charisma In my opinion these are his greatest skills so far. He might awaken some form of special haki related powers in the future, as possibly hinted by film red.

I fucking love this theory because it doesn't just settle for what would be 'cool' for Usopp to have like a mythical zoan or broken Haki, it takes into account Usopp's fighting style and how he works as a character and gives him a power up that fits.

[@somepvpguy69]

Tbh it would be cool if Sogeking gives usopp his upgrade!, we have yet to see them meet

[@somepvpguy69]

Wait. USOPP IS SOGEKING?!?!? ain't no way...

[@g3mkn1ght60]

It was in my brain that their fight would start with Ussop trapping auger in a bamboo cage just for auger to warp out of it, then it would swing into ussops favor if Ussop jammed augurs gun by firing a devil plant or skull bomb grass right down the barrel causing it to jam or even explode

[@dittosame-o67]

Reminds me of the Batman Gambit.

[@shayoko6]

it has to be observation haki, we didn't get that moment during dressrosa for nothing!

[@Ka0ziun]

21:54 "Until finally being finished off by a single blow from Big mom" AYYYYOOOOO

[@LFielding07]

Great points about items using Zoan Devil Fruits. It makes sense that the fruit with shape-shifting powers would be most stable for combining with objects.

[@uvcity001]

Bruh You Snapped with this One 😲🤣 I'm definitely Subscribing. Finally, a GOOD Fruit for Usopp to use!!

[@TheCrapCafe_]

Welcome to the crew!

[@Sumsumsum-ws1zo]

Good Theory, love it. And it makes a lot of sense too.

[@Nit3Guy]

Broo you freaking cooked!! This was a great video

[@TheCrapCafe_]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@carlbrown1000]

His giant slingshot is probably just a customized fishing net.

[@TheCrapCafe_]

Hahaha I can absolutely picture this!

[@TheeHucci]

The entire crew can now FLY because of technology from egg head

[@TheeHucci]

unpopular opinion!!

[@sebaredghost9068]

The Devil Fruit weaponized Kabuto are an good theory, my head-Canon upgrade for Usopp is that he would bulid himself Thor’s hammer Mjölnir, since he idolize Dorry and Brogy who are inspired based on the Nordic Vikings and Usopp used to use hammers a lot pre-timeskip, so in Elbaf Usopp will hear a story about a legendary hammer and decides to build one for himself as he did bulid Nami’s clima-tact, so it is a possibility in my opinion.

[@Mlom91]

Usopp always remindet me of the guy from the fable "Seven At One Blow" some day he will challange a high ranked giant, outsmarts him and get even more respected and will be a even bigger warrior of the Seas! :3 Plus, imagine Him getting a Devil fruit power for his weapon that can Hypnotize his enemys, wich will then believe all his lies!!

[@eptna]

great video! since it seems like egghead is coming to an end right now, i'm thinking it's less likely, but the events of the day long battle being kept hidden as well as the fact that usopp hasn't really fought in egghead make me think it could've happened off screen and we'll get a flashback or something during a fight in elbaph

[@TheCrapCafe_]

Fingers crossed!

[@animekingdommdm5951]

ANOTHER BANGER! Sorry I’m late to be party but I absolutely loved this video man! I can’t wait for the next one!

[@TheCrapCafe_]

I'm just glad you enjoyed!

[@stickinittotheman1]

Truly an incredibly nuanced and thoughtful theory, it really lines up! Excellent work friend, I'm excited to see how close this gets 🤘 Love and Peace folks, best of luck in your pursuits.

[@TheCrapCafe_]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

[@johnlight8795]

It's like when someone invents something so obvious it angers you!!!! Great theory man!!!!

[@kintoba]

This is a good point, Ussop has had a ton of prep time to understand his own weaknesses and the strengths of his potential enemies. I think Elbaf is going to be his character peak.

[@BlueNyde]

Great video! I don't believe this theory will come true but it would make a lot of sense for Usopp & you've argued your case well. Side note, Nami can't mount Zeus. Only Linlin can. Luffy already asked if they could ride Zeus, he said it's not possible & Luffy called him boring. I assume Oda added that restriction since having an Emperor's soul is already strong enough, he didn't want to make Nami too overpowered too quickly.

[@jordantompkins9112]

This has me thinking about how we've not really seen Van Auger take hits or get beaten. We think he's badass because he can shoot from so far away, but if he's just a glass cannon, he has the same weakness as most snipers. But we all know Usopp can take a beating, and he knows how to get creative to overcome his weakness. Van Auger's DF power doesn't address the inherent weakness, so compared to Usopp, there's no way his endurance could match up. Usopp just needs to gwt a few quality hits in.

[@mrbubbles6468]

‘At a glance this fight seems like a stomp’ It is as is every fight Ussop gets into. He only ever does well because his opponant’s keep the fight going longer than needed.

[@jeffreyfarrington5777]

It's probably just as likely that Usop found his kabuto slingshots off screen as him making one or both. Maybe Usop cleverly commandeered a weapon from the sea train and updated the design later

[@doubledamn2599]

I would've liked Usopp to keep the staff form as a quarterstaff close combat option.

[@dittosame-o67]

I think I’ve only seen him use it like a bo staff one time.

[@leathmccaffrey1532]

This is my first video of yours. I haven't watched it yet, but I love One Piece theories and I love the joke your name is referencing. Edit: I loved the theory and the video as a whole!

[@TheCrapCafe_]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@radaro.9682]

I just want to sample some of Usops trees. Gotta be fire.

[@gettingcomfy]
