Future Events Post Elbaf Third highest bounty…

#41
Usopp reaching a billion somehow (his father's an important top Commander, same for Van Auger it seems) would be cool if Oda gives him focus and he does great against a Holy Knight. Plus the gag of him being shocked by his notoriety would continue even if he doesn't fully deserve such a huge number. Though I see no reason for Usopp to pass Sanji, or even Jimbei, when the gag and hype can be accomplished without Usopp passing either (then again if Jimbei does nothing this arc, who knows but I think 5 is a good spot for Usopp).
The gap is just too much. Sanji will also get a bounty boost for kicking a Gorosei. So, Usopp will have to increase by over a billion in Elbaf just to surpass Sanji. But Usopp could get a 1 billion bounty

Why they would get Bounty increase after Elbaph?

No one know about what happens there, there's no other great pirate there for then to overthrow, the HK activities are pretty much underground.

If they didn't get one after Egghead why the WG would gave then one now?



SH next big increase will be their final one, Luffy won't fight with Teach having a bigger Bounty than he, it's just how the story works. The same way the SH have their big moment last week in Egghead, the next big one is the Teach one with he getting above Shanks and becoming the n°1 contender to the OP. By defeating Teach and getting to Laftel Luffy will get his 5.6b

Bounty gaps before a raise are meaningless. Kid and Law were a billion behind Luffy at the start of Wano, end of Wano all three were level.

When Usopp had a big role on Dressrosa, he went up past Sanji
When Sanji had a big role in WCI, he went up past Zoro

Usopp has been set up to have a huge role on Elbaf. Oda has absolutely not delivered on that so far, I agree.

If Oda does deliver though, I think it’s quite clear based on how Usopp was treated in the past that
-he’ll get a big heroic moment with a good sniping feat
-that moment will make him a hero to Elbaf
-he will lead in battle the warriors of Elbaf, strongest army in the (remember, it was Hajrudin, future King of Elbaf who held Usopp up as God Usopp originally)
-he’ll be established as a top three for Luffy like his dad is for Shanks

That’s easily enough to put him in spot two or three bounty wise after his big arc. The post Elbaf bounties are likely going to be Luffy ~ 4 billion, top commanders of Zoro, Sanji and Usopp ~2 billion, lot below that generic boosts of about 300 to 500 million.

Oda likes his bounty gags. Sanji’s furious about something, Usopp gets scared of his, Chopper’s is shit, Franky’s got a picture of someone else. Elbaf is prime Usopp gets beaten up by Sanji for being higher than him territory.
