Aldrich, must you ruin some harmless Usopp speculation? Ussop's gonna fight Van Auger, and Auger will probably make some melee fighters job to him beforehand. And it'll be awesome.
But really, just leave this thread alone, it will only bring misery. That and, with little provocation except that "people like him," your're character bashing. We know you don't like Usopp, and that's fine. Just don't be a jerk and ruin other people's fun.
But, Spandam didn't go down from his firecrackers? He didn't go down after getting hit with an elephant either! Really, Usopp's attacks are kind of lethal, in fact in reality he should have scared a few people by now. He just needs more finishing moves now. His basic bomb star is about as powerful as Sanji's normal kick.
But, on something more interesting, yes I think that Franky will fight Jesus B. Did someone say that Franky's steel will be a problem? Please, that's not using imagination! Who says that Jesus won't be as strong as steel himself? That's an epic battle right there.
@Mearl:
Based on Usopp's fights with Chuu, Miss MerryChristmas/Mr.4, Franky Family, and Jabura… I would say that Usopp can fight very well and effectively, but only if he's received a strong enough blow to the head. He clearly ran into the Franky House hoping one of them would sock him in the brains so he could beat Franky and take the money back, but sadly, Franky walked off before Usopp was injured enough to be effective.
GENIUS!
@Daisuke:
But hey, people grow.
Exactly! Hey, Zoro and Sanji were kind of pussies at the start compared to what they are now. Hey, Usopp fell in the Kuro arc from a club to the head, here he took a 10 finger shigan. His stamina is rising–in fact this arc could be an excuse to give Usopp more stamina.
