Elbaph Arc 'One Piece' Finally Gives Usopp a Chance to Shine

Kapanlagi.com - The Elbaph arc in ONE PIECE has now entered a phase that is becoming more intense and full of tension. The conflict peaks after Imu takes over Gunko's body and begins to execute his grand plan to destroy the land of the giants. The situation in Elbaph now feels much more dangerous than before.

This arc has been highly anticipated by fans for a long time. Since the appearance of Little Garden in the Alabasta saga, many fans have been curious about Elbaph, known as the land of brave warriors with high honor. After a long wait of several decades, this arc has finally come to fruition.

Now that the Straw Hats have arrived in Elbaph, the story immediately escalates with larger and more complex conflicts. Amidst the chaos, one character begins to steal the spotlight. Usopp, who previously felt overshadowed, is now starting to get his important moment.

From the beginning of the story, Usopp has a dream of becoming a brave warrior like the giants of Elbaph. His encounter with Dorry and Brogy in Little Garden became the starting point that shaped his ambition, and since then he has continued to carry that dream in every adventure.

Although he initially shone less compared to other characters in the Elbaph arc, Usopp's development finally began to show in Chapter 1177. He no longer appears as the cowardly figure he once was, but rather starts to demonstrate the courage he has been pursuing, especially when faced with dangerous situations to protect his friends.

2. The Reckless Action that Changed the Course of the Battle

In clearly unfavorable conditions, Usopp bravely faced Imu directly. He even dared to reprimand the cruel actions of the enemy, especially for attacking in a way that was considered cowardly by the standards of the Elbaph warriors. This shows how much he values the honor he has learned.

Usopp launched a major attack, although it did not have a significant impact due to Imu's regeneration abilities. However, it turned out that this action was part of a plan to signal Monkey D. Luffy and Loki. The plan succeeded, and eventually Luffy confronted Imu directly in a battle that was predicted to determine the fate of Elbaph.
