Less than two weeks remain until One Piece<\/a>‘s anime returns with the Elbaph Arc on April 5<\/a>, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated story arcs of the series. That said, while fans count down the days until the anime’s return, the Elbaph Arc has continued to up the ante in the manga, adding to the overall excitement.<\/p>\n

The climax of the Elbaph Arc is finally upon us, but just as fans were readying up for the big battle between Luffy, Loki, and Imu, one Straw Hat has unexpectedly stolen the show. And, this Straw Hat could even end up achieving their big dream long before Luffy. <\/p>\n

One Piece season 2 established the giant land of Elbaph as a dream destination for Usopp, so when could he fulfil this in the live-action show?<\/p>\n

One Piece’s Elbaph Arc Finally Gives Usopp His Big Moment<\/p>\n

\"usopp<\/p>\n

With St. Killingham also having been taken care of by Sanji, Franky, and Jimbei, Chapter #1177 of One Piece turns its sights onto the last and perhaps the most important Holy Knight left standing on Elbaph \u2014 Gunko, who is currently being possessed by Imu.<\/p>\n

Brook was last seen confronting Gunko, or rather Princess Shuri, in Chapter #1173, and the latest chapter reveals Usopp has since also joined the fight. Unsurprisingly, however, it seems like this particular battle has not gone well for the Straw Hats, with both Brook and Usopp appearing to be heavily injured in Chapter #1177.<\/p>\n

Even so, despite having taken quite a brutal beating, Chapter #1177 sees Usopp bravely stand up to Gunko, and Imu by extension. Without even a hint of cowardice, Usopp refuses to run away and humiliate himself in Elbaph after dreaming of making it to the island for so long. <\/p>\n

\u2717 Overboard! The answer is the Gum-Gum Fruit. The Chop-Chop Fruit belongs to Buggy, the Flame-Flame Fruit to Ace, and the Smoke-Smoke Fruit to Captain Smoker \u2014 but Luffy\u2019s rubber powers come from the Gomu Gomu no Mi.<\/p>\n

Usopp even goes on to confront Imu for using cowardly tactics such as taking the children hostage, mind-controlling the giants, and relying on the sleeptids instead of fighting Elbaph’s proud warriors head-on. In an epic final stand, Usopp even bravely fires one last attack on Imu, and this might just be Usopp’s biggest moment in the Elbaph Arc, if not the entire series so far. <\/p>\n

Usopp May Be the First Straw Hat To Achieve His Dream<\/p>\n

\"Luffy<\/p>\n

Ever since One Piece first set its sights on Elbaph<\/a> as the Straw Hats’ next destination, many have been eagerly waiting for Usopp to have some kind of defining moment. After all, it was when he first met Dorry and Brogy that Usopp truly cemented his goal of becoming a brave warrior of the sea, and what better way to achieve that than by standing up to the highest authority in the world.<\/p>\n

From everything revealed about Imu’s powers so far<\/a>, Imu is nothing short of a god, and a terrifying one at that, and for Usopp to be able to face this god head-on is a huge milestone in his character arc. Even if he wasn’t able to leave a lasting dent, Usopp did not cower or run away, but stood his ground and also shamed Imu for his tactics, and that is no doubt his bravest moment to date. <\/p>\n

One can even argue that through this confrontation with Imu, Usopp has already proven himself as a brave warrior of the sea, which would make him the first of the Straw Hats to achieve their dreams. As far as power-ups go, it’s unclear if One Piece’s final saga will be giving Usopp one, but he may not even need it anymore. <\/p>\n

Created by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece is a multimedia franchise that began as a manga series and follows the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates as led by Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy, an enthusiastic pirate with a thirst for adventure, is afflicted by a mysterious curse that gives him various powers he uses to protect himself and his friends. The manga eventually gave way to the anime series, with the two being some of history’s longest-running anime and manga series. Along with over fifty video games made over the years, the series entered the live-action world with Netflix’s 2023 adaptation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Less than two weeks remain until One Piece‘s anime returns with the Elbaph Arc on April 5, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353838,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,411],"class_list":["post-353837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
