Fans of One Piece are abuzz with speculation as the release of Chapter 1129 looms, and many believe this could be the beginning of Usopp’s long-awaited redemption arc. With the Elbaf arc unfolding, some theories suggest that Usopp, often underestimated in recent storylines, is on the verge of a significant power-up, potentially putting him on par with the other Straw Hat Pirates.
Anticipation for the Elbaf Arc Builds
The excitement surrounding the second phase of One Piece’s final saga is palpable, with each new chapter adding to the anticipation. The Elbaf arc has long been anticipated by fans and holds particular significance for Usopp’s character development. Eiichiro Oda, the series’ creator, has often hinted at Usopp’s deep connection to Elbaf, the land of the giants, and it seems this connection may soon play a crucial role in his growth.
Usopp’s Underutilized Potential
Since the series’ time skip, most Straw Hat Pirates have experienced some form of power-up, helping them face increasingly dangerous enemies. While Usopp unlocked Observation Haki during the Dressrosa arc, his abilities have been underutilized, leaving fans eager to see him achieve his full potential. His opponents in the coming battles are growing ever more formidable, and for Usopp to continue his journey as a Straw Hat, he will need to evolve.
Zoro’s Criticism: A Catalyst for Change?
According to fan-created spoilers for Chapter 1129, shared by Reddit user u/Frequent-Nebula-3845, Usopp’s transformation could be triggered by a harsh encounter with Zoro. In these speculative spoilers, a Sun God giant chases the Straw Hat crew, and Usopp, after landing awkwardly and crying out in pain, is scolded by Zoro for his perceived weakness. While unofficial, these spoilers have sparked conversation, as Zoro’s sharp words could serve as a wake-up call for Usopp, pushing him toward his long-awaited power-up.
The Perfect Setting for Redemption: Elbaf
Elbaf is seen by many fans as the ideal setting for Usopp’s redemption. With its powerful inhabitants and Usopp’s long-standing connection to the giants, it’s a place where his character could finally shine. The arc is widely expected to be the final opportunity for the Straw Hat crew to receive substantial upgrades before the climactic final war in One Piece. For Usopp, this could mean mastering new forms of Haki and finding the strength to stand alongside Luffy, Zoro, and the rest of his crew in battle.
Looking Ahead to Chapter 1129
The official release of Chapter 1129 is scheduled for October 13, 2024, with spoilers expected to drop in the coming days. While much of the current speculation remains unofficial, the possibility of Usopp’s redemption arc has fans eagerly awaiting confirmation. If Zoro’s criticism proves to be the turning point, it could set the stage for Usopp to undergo a transformation that will finally solidify his place as a true warrior of the sea.
In the meantime, fans can catch up on One Piece manga chapters through Viz Media.
