FUCK YEAH! Usopp unlocked Observation Haki!
This whole arc has been worth it now.
Best shot ever.
It's really dumb though that they keep just making her faint. Especially when she clearly doesn't stay passed out for very long. She's so fucking dangerous, they should really be knocking her ass out.
Prob cause she`s a kid.
She's a totally remorseless and pitiless horrible slaver responsible for the deaths of hundreds if not thousands, most likely (in the form of broken toys), but nobody can kick her ass because she's a kid.
Latent observation haki would certainly explain how Usopp has always been an excellent sharpshooter and how he seemed to have such an excellent eyesight.
Usopp's a pro at making girls faint. Remember Perona?
They've already been told that she isn't though. Her fruit just keeps her from aging.Quote:

You might very well be correct, although I don't personally think it reduces his fame either way. In any case it's given he wouldn't have ever unlocked the haki if he hadn't been pushing his skills to the max for so long and now beyond the max in his desperation.
Not to mention observation haki alone wouldn't have allowed him to engineer a slingshot-catapulted payload that had two sets of thrusters, and be able to get it straight to the target from that distance.
Wait, so...was USOPP the first Strawhat besides Luffy to unlock Haki?
Nope, Sanji and Zoro can both use haki
What evidence is there of that?Quote:

Then it`s probably because she looks like a kid.Quote:

Also a lot of times in his fights you'll notice he narrowly dodges random attacks that look like they would have been significantly more damaging than the ones that hit him, he may have also been using it unconsciously the entire time.
Imo I think Luffy's drive inspires the best out of other people, enabling them to reach limits they otherwise would never have come close to. Can you imagine where Usopp would be now if Luffy never went to his hometown? Usopp would be doing jack shit.
He'd probably be dead.Quote:

I think you are correct, his crew was there to pillage the town so he could pin the blame of her death on them, it's been awhile my mistake.Quote:
