Imo Usopp should be a lion motif, a cowardly lion ironically like in the Wizard of Oz but learns to find his courage and thus "be a king", a king of snipers even ofc and a warrior king (of elbaf even too). It would also tie in well with how he weaponises fears against his own opponents, especially Sugar and Perona for example. He also tried to terrify Enel once, a self declared god too. There's a joke about "fear of God" there and Ussop got declared a God in Dressrosa too and has statues celebrating him in Green Bit and Skypeia now too lol.
Courage and overcoming fears are Usopps biggest themes and character traits, so "scaredy cat to almighty lion" would be perfect for him. Plus hes close friends with "cat burgar Nami" so it works out even better too.
Ironically also though, Shanks is the one with the lion motif instead and yet he and Usopp's father keep refusing to reunite with Luffy and Usopp respectively, despite having the most extreme ample opportunities to do so now too.
I expected Vegapunks arc or Elbaf to be Wizard of Oz inspired (Wizard of Oars even) thus Hawkins, Kidd, Apoo alliance would play a role in that too but thats a whole other topic.
