General & Others Did the Magazine just say Usopp is the Vice captain?

Yeah, it's their position in the crew. From right to left:

-Doctor (医者)
-Cook (コック)
-Poet (詩人) and Musician (音楽家)
-Navigator (航海士)
-Vice-captain (副船長) and Sniper (ソゲキ手)
-Captain (船長)
-Probably Helmsman?, I'm not sure, it doesn't say 操舵手, which is what Jimbei was called in chapter 976. But it could be another word for helmsman, maybe かじとり?
-Fighter (戦闘員)
-Something about plants? (植物----) (headband guy)
-Shipwright (船大工) (small guy)
Also, for some reason it says "Bolero" (ボレロ) in the bottom left corner.

"Bolero refers to two distinct genres of slow-tempo Latin music and their associated dances."

and we know Oda is a fan of Buena Vista Social Club.

Oh it's the original concept? Okay

 

[Rukusho]

As at @HA001 said it was a concept idea from Oda, seems as though Usopp was going to be the VC but changed the idea.

 

[ShadyOjiro]

You can see in the traslation that it says "former".

 

[MarineHQ]

Good to know that Zoro's character always revolved around fighting even from the very beginning

 

[T.D.A]

Yeah Usopp was originally going to be VC. I'm guessing Orginal Usopp would have been stronger

 

[MonsterZoro]

No wonder zoro tried so hard to get ussop permanently kicked off the crew in water 7

He could have been vice captain if ussop left forever

pretending to not hear usopp at the end of w7 is "trying so hard to get usopp kicked permanently"..... interesting

this is the concept oda initially had, zoro for example at first in his mind was part of Buggy's crew but he change ideea

 

[Finalbeta]

Perhaps

But this does not change the fact that Zoro still stands as the undisputed Captain

 

[stealthblack]

when usopp joined, he even toold luffy '' i'll accept you as captain for now, but i'll take over if things go south and luffy said fine. so luffy aproved of usopp vice captain.

Wouldn't this make usopp the capitan ?

the concept shows him as a pirate capitan with the hat and all this stayed with usopp laying about being a pirate capitan in the series and that interaction I belive is nice way oda thought at his first idea

SOME people would probably accept everyone as vice captian if it isnt zoro

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

Wait, so Jinbei was part of the original concept art for the Straw Hats, but when they released the photo back in Databook green, they took him out so people wouldn't know he was going to join? Oda... You slick motherfucker...

Original Concept from Databook Green

 

[bennbeckman]

I would have been on board with that, assuming Usopps character concept personality wise would have changed as well

Zoro as the combatant always badass

 

[zoinks0dandelion]

Yeah this is early concept art. It was way before the series even started.

 

[Shiroyru]

Yeah but then Oda changed his mind and made Sanji the Vice Captain

 

[bennbeckman]

Yeah but then Oda changed his mind and made Sanji the Vice Captain

Why would Oda make the VC the 5th person to join the crew?

 

[Shiroyru]

Why would Oda make the VC the 5th person to join the crew?

Well Shiryu was the 5th person to join BB, and many consider him to be the YC1
