For Usopp, the Going Merry is a nakama and a part of the Straw Hats. So Luffy's decision of getting a new ship was, for Usopp, a sign of betrayal. Usopp thought (rightfully so) that the most important thing possible to Luffy was his nakama. So Usopp seeing Luffy give up on the Going Merry is Usopp seeing Luffy "letting go" a nakama since that nakam couldn't "pull his own weight" anymore. Luffy's decision to abandon Merry since the ship was damaged beyond repair made Usopp think that he himself might also get abandoned considering that he's a "weak" crew member. This is aggravated by the fact that Usopp lost 2/3 of the the 300M that the Straw Hats got in Skypeia. What didn't help either was Luffy telling Usopp to leave the crew if he wasn't happy during their argument (then Sanji kicks Luffy, which is amazing). So, when you think about it, Usopp actually had very good reasons to stir up the shit he did. On the other hand, Luffy is right in the argument. Merry being a ship, she can't get "stronger" unlike an actual crew member. So the damage done gets accumulated. Merry is condemned to die. Luffy's decision is also based on the fact that Merry sinking at sea would basically kill every crew member. That's why he made the decision he did. Usopp can't accept this and it's his discussion with Franky that makes him realize his mistake. It's actually quite astonishing how I missed all these details the first time I watched. Both Usopp and Luffy had perfectly good reasons to fight. This drama wasn't the result of some idiot misunderstanding or anything like that, like you can see in other stories. It was the result of two conflicting ways of seeing things. Oda is God. | ||

Usopp never really noticed his mistake, right up till the end he was trying to fix it becuase it wasnt really a "mistake" he knew the facts and chose to forge ahead regardless | ||

Charater growth that is relevant to the story's development and relatable to the readers. OP's emphasis was never on more power leveling, convoluted lore, fantasy logic, plot twist and emo poster shots. Thanks for posting this. | ||

Leo can stitch/sew things together and unstitch/unsew them like nothing happened. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing Sewing[1] is the craft of fastening or attaching objects using stitches made with a needle and thread. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stitch_(textile_arts) In the textile arts, a stitch is a single turn or loop of thread or yarn. Doflamingo has the ability to create strings/threads from his body and manipulate them. Doflamingo is probably a big string yarn ball. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String String is a flexible piece of rope or twine which is used to tie, bind, or hang other objects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(yarn) Thread is a kind of yarn used for sewing, Leo will assist Luffy in defeating DD. | ||

It's right when Oda stopped doing weird head proportions and did perspective a lot better. http://d220.diamond.fastwebserver.de/series/OnePiece/0267-017.png Good thing he started doing weird boob proportions instead. | ||

They just disagreed on something and fought over it, was probably the best plot fight in the series so far. It shows the balls of usopp and luffy had to man up and be a real captain. In the end both understood why the other was correct, luffy said one of the most important things in the series on these two pages and usopp apologized. It was a very win/win ending to the whole thing. That whole arc is the biggest bonding arc in the series and while brooke is cool and all its why he still feels a little distant at times. + Show Spoiler + Ace dies | ||
