I think its finally time, time that Usopp put away his toys
Right now, he is going up against one of the strongest members of the beast pirates. Someone who not only is a haki user but also has an ancient zoan. A fruit that makes him extremely durable to the point to where he can tank hits from both Luffy and Sanji.
How on earth is Usopp going to both defeat someone like this and grow stronger while doing so? For nami, I see an easy way out for her beating Ulti. All she needs to do is merely steal back Zeus and she could believably be strong enough to face Ulti. I think Nami should also learn observation haki in the process to make this more believable, but its not necessary.
But for Usopp, I cannot see a clear way for him to beat Page One without it being via some sort of bullshit. Like him tricking Page into falling off a cliff or accidentally cuffing himself in sea stone or something along those lines. And while Oda could easily have Usopp win that way, I would really prefer it if he didn't. Simply because I think the straw hats need to grow stronger.
Usopp's opponent on the blackbeard pirates is Van Auger. How is he going to beat that guy if he isn't going to become stronger in one of the most critical arcs of the series. Its not enough for Usopp to bullshit his way out of this. While I'm sure some form of trickery or whatever will be involved, the final line here is that Usopp needs to become stronger.
I think that the only way for Usopp to even stand a chance against page one is if he finally starts acting like a real sniper and picks up a gun. We already saw that his plant attacks didn't do any damage to the zoans whatsoever. I don't know why he wouldn't even try to use one. Surely he can steal them from some fodder.
My idea is that after this initial encounter, Usopp will probably steal some guns off the beast pirates to use against Page. Initially, this will be a failure. Due to Page One's armament haki, the bullets simply bounce off his body. But through the course of the fight, usopp will learn how to use armament haki which will ultimately allow him to shoot Page One.
