Despite the scheduled release date of June 17, 2024, spoilers for One Piece chapter 1117 have already surfaced. Thankfully, the Straw Hat Pirates have left Egghead Island, allowing for a character to finally receive the attention that fans have been anticipating since the start of the series.
The chapter spoilers also delivered the highly anticipated showdown between Roronoa Zoro and Saint Nusjuro, adding to the excitement and anticipation for the final saga. Additionally, the Iron Giant was able to prevent Vegapunk’s message from reaching the Gorosei after being impaled by them.
While the majority of the Straw Hats continue their journey to Elbaf Island, the most powerful members of the crew remain on Egghead Island to protect against the Gorosei. In light of this situation, a long-standing joke revolving around Usopp’s self-proclaimed title of ‘Captain’ Usopp may actually materialize, as he is now in charge with the strongest members absent.
Please be aware that this article may contain spoilers from chapter 1117 of One Piece.
Exploring the Development of Usopp’s Character after the Setup in One Piece Chapter 1117
The recent spoilers for One Piece chapter 1117 revealed that the chapter began with the discovery of a SWORD inside a hospital. The group was still recuperating from their successful rescue of Koby from the clutches of the Blackbeard Pirates. The spoilers also teased the response to Vegapunk’s speech on other islands and hinted at the reappearance of familiar characters.
The spoilers for the chapter then shifted to Egghead Island, where the Straw Hats were on board the Thousand Sunny awaiting the arrival of Jinbe and Zoro. However, as the two finally arrived at the ship, they were ambushed by Saint Nusjuro. Zoro ordered his crew to depart without them.
Meanwhile, Luffy found himself running away from a Gorosei who was now joined by another member, both of them chasing after the Iron Giant. Vegapunk was on the verge of disclosing information about the D clan, but the Gorosei stabbed the Iron Giant and abruptly cut off the broadcast before he could reveal anything.
As of chapter 1117, there are still 3 Straw Hat Pirates present on Egghead Island. The captain, Monkey D Luffy, is currently engaged in a battle against Saint Warcury with the help of Dorry and Brogy. According to spoilers from chapter 1117, Zoro and Jinbe are also fighting against Saint Nusjuro. Additionally, Sanji is preparing to depart from Egghead Island with Bonney and Vegapunk Atlas.
With Zoro and Jinbe tasked with holding back Saint Nusjuro, Sanji may also find himself in a similar situation as he assists Bonney and Atlas in escaping Egghead Island. With the strongest members of the Straw Hat Pirates remaining on the island, it is likely that a long-running joke will be referenced in the next chapter.
Currently, Usopp holds the role of sniper within the Straw Hat Pirates. However, in Syrup Village, he was the leader of the Usopp Pirates. Despite lacking any true leadership qualities, his fellow crew members still addressed him as ‘Captain’ Usopp.
After leaving his own crew and becoming a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, Usopp would often refer to himself as ‘Captain’ Usopp and taunt his enemies during challenging situations, boasting of his strength.
It became a recurring joke in the series, but given that Usopp’s fabrications have been proven true in the final saga (such as the spider lie about Saint Saturn), it wouldn’t be unexpected for another one to come to fruition, much to the amusement of the fandom.
In the upcoming chapter, fans will witness ‘Captain’ Usopp in his true form as he leads the powerful Straw Hats to victory against the Five Elders, without any intended pun this time.
