The excitement for the second phase in theOne Piecefinal saga, the Elbaf arc, has been growing constantly with every new chapter. These new updates in the narrative are building up for one of the greatest arcs inOne Piece’shistory that has been awaited by fans for the longest time. And the arc holds special importance for Usopp fans, as he finally might get a power-up.

Usopp’s connection with Elbaf has been hinted at by Eiichiro Oda quite frequently in the narrative. While it has not been officially confirmed, he is the only Straw Hat member after Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy who is due for a power upgrade. He has been underestimated since the time skip and has rarely gotten any individual iconic moments.
As a result, there is a good chance that Usopp will get redemption, and the new speculative spoilers indicate a similar thing for the character. According to these alleged spoilers, Usopp will be scolded by Zoro for being weak, and this will mark the beginning of his transformation into a powerful character.

The Usopp Redemption Arc Might Finally Begin
Ever since the Straw Hat Pirates have reunited after the time skip, almost every member of the crew has gotten some kind of power-up that has helped them in their battles. Usopp is also one of the characters in this list, but his power-up has not been properly utilized inOne Pieceat all. He unlocked Observation Haki in Dressrosa, and since then he has rarely used it.

Thus,Eiichiro Odareally needs to give Usopp some kind of character arc that could highlight him and his powers. This is because his future opponents are exceedingly powerful, and there is no way he will survive against them on his current level. He needs to unlock other forms of Haki and get proficient in them to continue his journey as a Straw Hat Pirate.
And the perfect place for Usopp to begin his Redemption arc is Elbaf. Many theories predict thatElbaf will be the last placewhere the Straw Hat Pirates will get a new upgrade to their abilities, as after this, the Final War against the mainOne Pieceantagonists might start. Plus, Usopp’s connection with Elbaf fans the flames of his power-up even more.

One PieceAlleged Spoilers Hint At Usopp’s Redemption
One PieceChapter 1129 is scheduled to be released on July 19, 2025. Even the spoilers of the chapter will be released in a few days. However, hardcoreOne Piecefans have created their own version of the spoiler that perfectly explains the upcoming narrative. These alleged spoilers were shared byu/Frequent-Nebula-3845on Reddit.
According to these spoilers, the Sun God giant who was chasing the Straw Hat Pirates attacks them, and all of them fall to the ground. As they hit the ground, Usopp lands on his nose and starts crying. This leads to Zoro scolding him and taunting him for being weak, while Luffy fights the giant. Although it is nothing new and the spoilers are not official, they can very well work for Usopp’s motivation.

If the spoilers turn out to be true and Zoro’s taunts have an effect on Usopp, it will be the perfect development forOda to introduce Usopp’s redemption arc. While there are still some plotholes in the alleged spoilers, they perfectly set the premise for Usopp and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates getting their lastOne Piecepower-up.
