Usopp, a resident of Syrup Village, is the son of Yasopp, a sharpshooter of the Red-Haired Pirates, and Banchina, who died during his childhood. After his father left to become a pirate, Usopp combatted loneliness by spinning tales of pirate invasions to lift his ailing mother’s spirits and later entertain Kaya, his bedridden friend. His penchant for lies and self-appointed leadership of the "Usopp Pirates"—a trio of village children—stemmed from a longing for validation. These experiences ingrained his cowardice, inventive ingenuity, and fear of abandonment. When the Straw Hat Pirates thwarted Kuro’s plot to murder Kaya, Usopp joined as their sniper. He repaired the Going Merry and engineered tools like Nami’s Clima-Tact. Though prone to panic, he rallied in pivotal battles, defeating Chew in Arlong Park and aiding Nico Robin’s rescue at Enies Lobby under the masked persona "Sogeking"—a fleeting attempt to distance his insecurities from heroic acts, despite allies recognizing his identity. Post-timeskip, Usopp honed his physique and confidence while retaining his core flaws. He incorporated Pop Greens, botanical ammunition from the Boin Archipelago, broadening his sniping tactics. In Dressrosa, he unlocked Observation Haki, sensing auras to land decisive shots. Toppling Sugar earned him the title "God" Usopp and a soaring bounty, though he dreaded the attention it invited. During the 2019 film’s Pirates Festival, Usopp joined the hunt for Gol D. Roger’s treasure, securing an Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale before being ensnared by Douglas Bullet, a former Roger Pirate. His strategic deployment of Pop Greens destabilized Bullet’s mechanized colossus, aiding its downfall. Collaborating with Luffy and Trafalgar Law, he balanced ingenuity with his trademark nervousness under fire. Usopp’s bond with the Going Merry mirrored his inner conflict over self-worth, culminating in a brief departure when the ship was replaced. Reconciliation marked his acceptance of value beyond utility. Encounters with giants in Little Garden and Elbaph warriors cemented his ambition to become a "brave warrior of the sea," merging inherited sharpshooting with hard-won resolve.
