One Piece chapter 1127 has recently started to leak, marking the official beginning of the Elbaf arc, much to the delight of fans who are already poking fun at Usopp. Many expect that this arc will spotlight Usopp due to his connection with Elbaf and its Giants. However, recent leaks suggest that he faces a quick defeat at the hands of a giant cat.
While most jokes circulating among the One Piece community are lighthearted, some fans have pointed out that starting the Elbaf arc at a low point could ultimately benefit Usopp. This narrative approach allows him to grow stronger throughout the arc, reminiscent of his character development in the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs, which are often considered his peak moments in the series.

The Elbaf arc kicks off as One Piece fans humorously target Usopp
In chapter 1127, key events unfold as Nami and Usopp attempt to flee from giant creatures, with Usopp hilariously being knocked away by a cat. This has caught the attention of the fandom, leading to playful teasing directed at the character during what should be his defining arc in the manga.
Usopp has always held a deep admiration for Elbaf and its Giants, prompting many fans to theorize that he would receive significant character focus. Nonetheless, his comical defeat by a cat has become a source of humor in the community, with fans enjoying the irony of the situation.
Some supporters argue that beginning this arc at a low point may serve Usopp well, allowing him room for growth. This journey reflects Usopp’s past struggles in the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs, where he experienced significant character development, and fans are optimistic this arc will offer similar, if not greater, opportunities for him.
The rise and fall of Usopp
Usopp’s journey in One Piece showed considerable growth up until the time skip; he evolved from a timid individual with limited combat abilities into a brave ally for the Straw Hats. His bravery blossomed through various arcs, particularly evident during his pivotal moments in Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark.
However, despite his early development in strength and confidence, Usopp reverted to a less impactful role post-time skip, missing opportunities to shine aside from a notable battle against Sugar in Dressrosa. This lack of agency has prompted many fans to feel that the Elbaf arc is Usopp’s last chance to have a meaningful impact on the storyline.
“Yasopp is out here blowing up ships by sniping them from 100 miles while Usopp is being sent flying by cats. Oda, please give this brother a buff,”one fan remarked.
“Usopp enters Elbaf, and the first thing that happens is him getting neg diffed by a Cat,”another fan commented.
“Taking a mental note of everyone who is trashing on Usopp now,”another user stated.
Regardless, since the arc has just begun, there remains a possibility for Usopp to reclaim his moment in the spotlight within One Piece.
