The true Usopp fashion would be him pretending to have dropped that on purpuse huahuaha

Ussop should train to be muscular like his dad and use giant version of his own bullets. Ussop using a kabuto 5 times as big and shotting bullets the size of cannonballs or even watermelons would pawn. The normal one has shown to be able to break through walls and even more, one the size of a cannonball would sink a ship!

Here is a pick of yassop and he seems fairly muscular specially when you compare him to what he was like when he first appeared.
The anime is much more clearer, you can see exactly how much he changed.

 

[Darek Khort]

For Ussop to turn muscular you'd probably have to wait a bit until all of them 'grown up' because at his current age (which I'm assuming isn't in the 20s or 30s) he wouldn't look anywhere near like his father.
Plus I like Ussop the way he is. He always goes on about him not being a monster like the others and having to use his brains instead of brawl.
Giving him muscles just....doesn't seem right.

 

[bittman]

And it's been said by Oda that Ussop will remain the weakest Strawhat, so if he got muscular...Nami would have to get muscular...oh dear god I'm scared...

 

[toxun]

Make me wonder to If Nami got muscular, may be she will look like Miss Monday :-D

 

[monkey D luffy]

Actually, I can see something like that accidentally happening when they visit Vegapunk in the future. Since only Vegapunk is capable of feeding DF's to inanimate objects (as I've understood from the samples so far) I can see Usopp tripping over and dropping the Slingshot into whatever machine does this by accident. Anything else wouldn't be in the true Usopp fashion.

i dont think dr vegapunk is the only one able to put fruit in inanimate remember in arabasta the mr4 team had a gun who ate the dog dog fruit

 

[toxun]

It'll might cool if it's Sunny given devil fruit. It seem ok because in deed ship didn't swim (do you ever heard ship swimming?) it float on water. Imagine it ate neko neko no mi type lion. She can't transform while on deep water (because she'll sink) but in the shallow it's fine

well if sunny got a DF it would have to be some sort of long range DF cause whats the point of a close range DF when u have the crew?

 

[toxun]

Sunny by default designed for ranged combat with cannon equipped with her. the only thing I saw that could make a "thing" alive are zoan type devil fruit. Actually the ship is one the weak spot. The crews might have to travel afar from the ship. Given Franky's past when his ships were turned against him & laziness of Zoro in guarding her (preferring walking around & get lost ) it will be a great idea to make merry can defend herself, at least Franky should install some security measure on her

 

[paradoxe]

And it's been said by Oda that Ussop will remain the weakest Strawhat

Lol, thats not canon.

Its been stated in a data book that Usopp is stronger then Nami.

They specialize in different areas, so really there isn't much comparison between the two.

Its really annoying when people keep saying Usopp is weaker then Nami. Can Nami take as much as damage as Usopp? Hell no. I'm not saying shes weaker, just saying they specialize in different areas, and Oda has said many things that hes changed before. Anyone remember how long the series was planned to go on for at the beginning?

 

[Akainu]

have you got any proof for the changes other than an estimated amount of time Oda wanted to spent on OP? it's a huge difference between that (reality influenced!!!) and his statement, that Usopp will stay the weakest (yeah, he is a better sniper than Luffy, so what Luffy is still stronger, because there IS more to it than their specials).

 

[paradoxe]

Its been stated in a data book that Usopp is stronger then Nami.

Oda wrote the data books.

OMG does tht mean Oda just contradicted himself?! :O

The only thing which can be considered absolutely canon is the manga, and so far, there has been nothing in the manga which has stated that Usopp is weaker then Nami.

Use your common sense people. Do you think Nami could've been smashed by a 10 tonne hammer and live to talk about itt?

=/

 

[JC123]

...I think you both are arguing the same point.

Usopp absorbs the most damage of the crew. Nami as well as Ussop have different skills to make up for their physical weaknesses.

Usopp - Sniper and inventor

Nami - Navigation and weather

Now if the books are translated, I'll look and see how they mean strength... But I'm to believe it means both of them aren't monsters of combat like Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.

Ussop can't do even close to the amount of damage of Nami and her Clima Tact. Ussop might be able to take more damage. But Nami can dish out more damage. By averaging them out Nami is stronger ;P

And Databooks are Cannon their made by Oda as are SBS's. Databooks are just as Cannon as the Manga.

Quick note Has Ussop ever been stabbed before ? Can he not take stabbings?

 

[Destin82]

Zoro still hasn't mastered the sword he received from Ryuuma, so I see those being the minor upgrade that he'll get.

I'm with the general consensus that Sanji's diable repertoire isn't complete yet. At some point both legs might have their uses.

Nami/Ussop wont get noticeable upgrades in their weapons. Nami might figure out a new weather technique to use with the Clima Tact. Ussop I can only see improving his bravery, and ammo.

I'd like to see Chopper become better at using Brain Point with a rumble ball. Whether instantaneous or greatly reduced time spent analyzing. I think Chopper mastering his Monster Point is a little too much so far, but we'll probably see him use it once more without control until he begins to understand it.

Robin might be able to increase the number of hands she can sprout, if not she's already very powerful.

Franky will improve the parts inside him. If the Straw Hats somehow end up in Mariejois, I could see Franky looting a lot of raw materials or parts from Vegapunk's lab. A temporary upgrade could be increasing the amount of cola his body can contain.

Brooke, I have no clue since he hasn't really shown too many abilities at all yet.

What makes you ask that? I don't think he has ever been stabbed, but he's been electrocuted, water bullet'ed, blown up, crushed, smashed, punched, kicked, scared...oh wait, he got stabbed by ten fingers in CP9 arc by Jabura! Hurray, he's been hurt in almost every possible way~

On Databooks and SBS: I've never read a databook of rankings, but I wonder when Ussop was stronger than Nami...perhaps pre-Climatact? They are both "canon" of course, though SBS is more thoughts than an exact science. Databooks are meant to be exact on the other hand.

On my own ratings: They both have an equal amount of battle experience and a technical knowledge of weaponary to some degree. Both useful skills outside of battle of an equal level and are both cowardly to a degree (which cracks me up when they are together). I still rate Nami over Ussop despite long-nose's infinite hitpoints given how she has handled herself in battles recently compared to him and I do think she will either keep this small gap or make it larger rather than Ussop passing her.

Where did all this start anyway? Oh yeah, he won't get all muscular. His new 10ton hammer is only 2kg instead of 5kg =P

How does averaging them out make Nami stronger?

=/
Btw Usopp's role in the crew is combat related - Sniper. Whilst Nami's isn't.
I think against a stronger opponent, Usopp can wear him out whilst sniping him from long distance away. Nami can't really do much.
