Still putting 10 bucks on Luffy and crew about to leave on their new ship, with Usopp on the shore, not knowing what to say but obviously wanting to go back with his tail between his legs and Luffy and Zoro telling him to board the ship as they're friends, reenacting vol 5 scene.
Anyway it'd be embarassing, so let's go for the more embarassing solution.

either this
or the 1st one are perfect
I'd laugh if he stayed as Sogeking for the rest of the manga.
And on the final chapter….
"Luffy, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"The truth is...I am really...."
"Yeah? Come on, spit it out!"
".....Never mind. It's nothing. Forget it."
XD
i still think franky just gonna be the one to push him, cause usopp and luffy are too proud.
the making out is for everyone to enjoy.
Or maybe something like that.
Sanji ask Luffy to take Sogeking on board, but Luffy say "No, we dont need him!" And then we see Usopp with a depressed look on his face. Luffy next say "We dont need an other sniper, we have Usopp!". Like the way he like to recuit his crewmembers ("You will be my nakama! -No i dont want to! -You will be because i want to!" ).
the making out is for everyone to enjoy.
Oh but I'll enjoy it. I really will. I'm starting to enjoy it right now. I enjoy it so much I'm almost crying of happiness.
I don't mean to spoiler the fun or be an ass, but was their really a need to make a thread just for that? It seems it would have fit better just in the spoiler thread or when the chapter comes out, the discussion thread.

Dunno…, to me this rather reads like some speculation, and no one really knows when such a scene (if ever ) will occur, so why not a thread? I´ve seen worse (a lot).
I feel Ussop and Luffy both have to do their kotaus. Ussop was the only one with the right feeling for the Merry-nakama thing as we know now - but fighting his captain about a otherwise good decision wasn´t okay either.
Okay, even I'm starting to get annoyed by these Usopp threads. (everyone: gasp)
So far, Oda hasn't gone for the "I'm so sorry for leaving. I love ya, man" kind of thing. Usopp isn't going to ask to rejoin, he's going to demand.
I'm with Aldrich.. It would fit best, if the re-joining-scene resembles the one in the fifth book. But at first we need to know how Luffy will handle the Franky-thing.. We still don't REALLY know how he'll respond to it.. After that we should ask ourselves what's going on with Usopp O.o"
But why is everyone opening new threads, when just such small-fry-things could be said in one sentence in the discussion-threads of the respectable chapter. It's too crazy, all this stuff <.<
yup yup, basically see them re-enacting what happened the first time round.
though i would prefer it, if usopp just asked or challenged Luffy saying that if he can hit him then he has to be allowed to rejoin.
I've always been curious to see how Oda would end this complicated situation, especially how to handle the Usopp rejoining scene not drowning in sappiness. That's a hard task, hopefully he'll pull it as quickly and painless as possible.
Luffy: "SogeKing i want you in my crew!"
Soge: "Luffy i….."
Chopper trips and accidently knocks the mask off
Luffy & Chopper: USOPP!?
Everyone: It took you this long to figure it out!?
I've got an excellent theory.
…
Before they depart, Usopp (as Sogeking) asks to accompany the crew at the behest of Usopp, who is going with Oimo and Kaashi to Ebalf and will meet up with the Straw Hats there.
The Sogeking stuff got old roughly after they set foot on Enies Lobby. To see that double personality thing for another arc would be extremely annoying, I know Oda likes slightly redundant jokes but there's a limit.

You are the win. That made my morning.
…yes, for me, this is morning. I got to sleep late today.
Anyway, I actually am expecting him to keep the Sogeking outfit to use it later, but return to being good ol' Usopp most of the time. Besides, putting on the Sogeking disguise, since it's associated with a bounty, might make telling certain lies easier later on. >>

Sogeking wouldn't be half as annoying if he didn't revert back into Usopp whenever put in a situation that required a decision, thus creating the "internal conflict" problem nobody needs to see more than once.
If Usopp/Sogeking did more acts like "shooting World Government flags without hesistation", he'd be much more tolerable for a whole 'nother arc.
I'm perfectly fine with the dual-identity thing atleast until Oda decides what to with Ussop's character development. As long as he doesn't go in emo mode again, Ussop is fine by me.
As for him rejoining, it's a given but I don't know how he will rejoin.
I still think the best way to resolve this situation with Usopp is to have Luffy beg Sogeking to join after Sogeking does something amazing, thus giving Usopp what he needs. But after Luffy begs Sogeking to join as a sniper, he's reminded that Usopp was their sniper, so he retracts the offer, as Luffy still considers Usopp as a Straw Hat, and wants to leave the position open for him, if or when ever he wants to rejoin the crew. Then as the Straw Hats are about to depart, Usopp runs up Luffy, apologizes to him, is invited once again, and officially becomes the third member of the Straw Hats.
BTW, what could that amazing thing Sogeking ends up doing be? Perhaps it could be something like saving Water 7 from a Buster Call and becoming the hero of the city. I think a Buster Call could happen if the third admiral ends up being this truly corrupt, and evil bastard - someone like Spandine - which is quite possible as the WG really hasn't had that central evil character at the top yet that we can put a face on, that would make us truly loathe the WG, enough to make everyone want to see it come toppling down. What I'm saying is we need more Spandine's at the top to balance the Garp's, Aokiji's, Smoker's and Sengoku's if Oda wants us to really hate the WG, and to root for Dragon and his revolutionaries in the end.

A) We already have an admiral who believes in absolute justice, so it's very likely we'll also have a corrupt admiral as well so that all three are different.
B) We don't know if Sengoku isn't what we might call evil yet, do we?
C) It's possible Dragon isn't the guy we're supposed to be rooting for, by the end. >_>
I doubt Sengoku is evil. Whitebeard mentions him with a nostalgic tone, and we've seen Whitebeard puts great emphasis on morals. Sengoku probably isn't a bad guy, just a hard bastard and a professional soldier, obeying orders.
Kizaru being an overpowered Nezumi is a great idea though. As for Usopp/Sogeking doing something awesome: forget about it.
A) We already have an admiral who believes in absolute justice, so it's very likely we'll also have a corrupt admiral as well so that all three are different.
I wouldn't call Akainu evil, just misguided. He really believes in justice, but just goes about it in the wrong way. He's like a judge dredd, an anti-hero in a way.
B) We don't know if Sengoku isn't what we might call evil yet, do we?
No, but he doesn't look like someone who would be evil. I mean look at the way he's dressed, and at his pet goat! Plus he's mentioned in the same vein as Garp and Roger by Whitebeard during his talks with Shanks. Although they're not really concrete evidence one way or the other, all this leads me to believe that Sengoku has some good in him.
C) It's possible Dragon isn't the guy we're supposed to be rooting for, by the end. >_>
I think it's been firmly established in the story that a revolution is on the way, a new age, and that one of the casualties will be the WG. And to justify this eventuality, then yeah, Dragon needs to be seen as one of the good guys.

I wasn't saying Akainu is evil, I was saying he's for absolute justice, Aokiji is apparently more lenient, so the third guy (to balance the three) might be corrupt and evil.
I didn't say Sengoku was evil, I said we haven't really gotten enough insight into his character to make judgements. Although, to be honest, I had forgotten Whitebeard's comment. D'oh.
I don't know, I'm on the fence about whether or not we're supposed to, in the end, definitely root for Dragon. Maybe I'm thinking of the Darth Vader complex, though. Y'know. Main character has to fight his evil daddy who wants him to join his side. [No, that is not my theory concerning what is going to happen.]
I'm kind of surprised that each of the Strawhats don't seem to have their own thread if this thread needed to be made. There's a Vivi thread, so why not a Robin thread, a Usopp thread, a Luffy thread, etc.? I'm assuming it's been thought of and rejected (or exists and I didn't notice), likely having to do with them turning into bitchfests/unnecessarily huge or simply too many threads about such a wide range of possible subjects and could branch out into a ridiculous amount of other threads for each crew and more.
Well, it seemed like a good idea five minutes ago.
There's a Robin thread. And a Luffy one too. Actually if you search there must be tons of threads for every crewmembers, especially for Usopp who's a particularly popular subject of discussion here, between his unconditional fans and haters there's lots of potential. Potential for what? That's a good question.
Still putting 10 bucks on Luffy and crew about to leave on their new ship, with Usopp on the shore, not knowing what to say but obviously wanting to go back with his tail between his legs and Luffy and Zoro telling him to board the ship as they're friends, reenacting vol 5 scene.

Yep, I like that ending, and Now I'm going to hope like hell that it happens this way. Because all in all, that would be the coolest ending of the arc and the beginning of a new one. EVER.
Luffy: "SogeKing i want you in my crew!"
Soge: "Luffy i….."
Chopper trips and accidently knocks the mask off
Luffy & Chopper: USOPP!?
Everyone: It took you this long to figure it out!?
Best idea yet. It let's the joke be on Chopper and Luffy for being so stupid.
But anyway, I think this is how it will happen….. ready??
(Once the ship is finished, but the Jolly Roger is not painted anywhere)
Everyone: "Oh no, it's not finished without the Jolly Roger!!" << Pretending, but within the earshot of Usopp so he hears
Sanji: "Who painted it the first time?!"
Nami: "Oh... that was Usopp! He had the skill to do it."
Luffy: "Hey, what's going on here? If we need it painted, I'll do it!!" << Not in on the setup
Everybody: "Nooooo Luffy!!"
Usopp: ("You guys...!!") "Hey, baka, you can't draw worth crap! Let me do it."
Uhhh... OK so I don't know how it would work. But it might happen when they need to paint the Jolly Roger. :wassat:

Though I agree with your point, I don't agree with your logic. Look at motivations:
1. Monkey D. Garp- strong sense of justice.
2. Monkey D. Dragon- strong sense of duty/equity.
3. Monkey D. Luffy- pleasure seeker
As a pirate, Luffy's motivated by self-interest in full; he's as selfish as they come. Garp's on the other spectrum; he's as selfless as they come. Dragon is the mixed case; he's likely rebelling against the World Government because he learned something about it that pissed him off, so his motivations could be selfish; on the other hand, if he's rebelling on behalf of all the nations oppressed by the World Government, he's being selfless.
Lots of you are saying that Luffy will decline Sogeking's offer to join because he still considers Usopp a Straw Hat. That's bullcrap. Luffy knows that Usopp left the crew. He is not a Straw Hat.

Yeah, I don't think that Luffy "just letting Usopp on" will happen. They had that whole "honorable warrior duel" after all, and Luffy was serious about it. He really considers Usopp to haveleft the crew now.
Not that Luffy would be too hesitate to have Usopp back, but I think there's a responsibility to deal with first. Also, Sogeking will somehow play a role.
