Usopp

Usopp (ウソップ) is the fourth member of the Straw Hats. Before he joined them he lived in Syrup Village as Captain of his self-named "pirate brigade". He garners Luffy's interest when Usopp momentarily overcomes his cowardice and bravely helps the Straw Hats' struggle against Captain Kuro, a pirate captain who schemed to use Usopp's home for himself. After Kuro is defeated by the Straw Hats, Usopp joins them. Preferring to leave his make-believe reputation at his home, Usopp joins the Straw Hats in hopes of becoming a real hero. He acts as the crew's sniper, artist, and secondary shipbuilder.

His father is a legendary sniper named Yasopp who is a member of Shank's crew (Luffy's idol). His mother passed away when he was a child due to illness, yet Usopp wanted to give her hope that his father would return by lying he would come back. Even after his mother's death, Usopp kept the lying habit to inspire hope in himself and others. During his journey with Luffy, it also helps the crew in unexpected ways.

When Luffy decides to use another boat than the crippling Going Merry, Usopp is furious that the captain is so willing to part with their comrade and duels his captain for ownership. In spite of his fierce determination, Usopp loses the challenge and his membership to the crew with an oath to never face them again. Still worried about his comrades to completely abandon them, Usopp finds a loophole solution to his dilemma by adopting a masked alter-ego, "The Sniper King" Sogeking, during the Enies Lobby Arc.

Fighting Style
As a long-range fighter, Usopp primarily uses deception and keep-away tactics to best utilize his marksmanship. He can hit any target perfectly from long distances and can shoot multiple targets at once. His marksmanship-esque fighting style revolves around using specialty ammunition, each of which can cause various effects. He can incapacitate foes by firing hot Tabasco sauce into their mouths, or he can blast enemies away with flammable projectiles. After the timeskip, he has learned to utilize various different plant life for his special ammunition, giving him a far more diverse and dangerous arsenal than before, including but not limited to launching large carnivorous plants at enemies and shooting razor-sharp leaves at foes. His abilities are of best use when maintaining distance from enemies, as he stays completely stationary when firing his slingshot, making him vulnerable if an enemy gets too close. He can also lay traps on the ground for the enemy to fall prey to. If he gathers enough courage, he may even use various gadgets to attacks his enemies if they get too close.
