    usopp is there for comedic relief. he's got better aim than franky with a slingshot or cannon. if you didn't see what his abilities can do in the enies lobby arc, then i recommend watching it.

    Yeah, he destroyed a flag and inconvenienced some soldiers from a distance.

    If you didn't see what a gun could do in luffy's first flashback episode that showed Shank's crew, then i recommend watching it.

    Sure, he shot a guy in the head point-blank. That wasn't the impressive part of that, it was that he appeared next to the guy in an instant. If you can do that. A knife works just as well.

    I think though that most people at the Strawhats level don't have anything to fear from guns unless the gunner doesn't something supernatural. Even if you aren't bulletproof like Luffy, Franky or a Logia user, people like Zoro and Sanji are fast enough to just dodge bullets.

    Franky is all the gunslinger the Strawhats need and more.

    1. Name one character in One Piece that can shoot that far a distance with a freaking sling-shot.
    2. Show me one picture of that arc where those soldiers fired back and hit him with their rifle fire.
    Also, search is your best friend. Use it.

    One of Blackbeard's crewmates can shoot farther than Usopp.
    Oh, you mean using a slingshot? Who the hell cares?

    Sweet, Usopp avoided getting shot. What an awesome skill he has.

    The point isn't how accurate Usopp's skills are. The point is that every time the crew goes into serious mode and stands up against major antagonists, Usopp always underperforms because his direct shots barely phase his opponent. He has to combine his attacks with clever deception and hope that the target is dumb.

    Conversely, as heavy weapons guy would put it, I've yet to see someone outsmart bullet.

    Also, search is your best friend. Use it.
    orly?
