Speculations Van Augur has future sight

[Brush D. Teeth]

While I was making the other thread I realized his name is actually confirmed to be spelled Augur.

It may already have been guessed by people in other places but Augurs were Roman priests who would watch the flight of birds and tell if a certain decision was approved by the gods or not, in a borad sense some kind of soothsayers.
And the first time we encounter him he's gazing at birds, and shooting them out of the sky.

Adding to this, the original meaning of the word fate is "that which has been said (by the gods)", so the will of the gods, and he's one of the characters of his crew who are obsessed with fate.
Due to his association with soothsayers, fate predictors and the fact that he is a sniper, I think we can speculate that he will get future sight.

Just by merit of being Usopp's possible EOS opponent and thus the strongest sniper in the world at that point, I'd expect nothing less than top tierish CoO.

Now that he has the warp warp it fits him even more.

I can't take seriously people who think Ussop is going to beat Van Augur. We're reching end game now and Ussop would still lose to Jaya V.A.

Unrelated but bro is so trash at sniping that he couldn't insta kill a bird and instead of acknowledging how garbage he is, he blamed it on fate. Like no wonder why he ate a fruit that can teleport his bullets because he can't hit shit without it

But didn't he do it from an island so far away that Usopp couldn't see it through an spyglass?

That's why he's about to power up at Elbaf

Honestly, all the recent Van Augur content just raises decade old doubts on how Usopp is going to defeat him.

The doubt was raised ever since it was indicated that Yassop is one of Shanks’ top 3 men with Augur being his counterpart.
It may be end up being the most egregious “plot armour” in the story.

He'd need a powerful fruit at the very least but I am not sure Oda is willing to change his character to that extent.
