[Capone Bege: Actually, judging by the final outcome, Usopp did indeed earn the title "God," meaning he really was the one who saved everyone.]
[Jewelry Bonney: That's true. After all, he was the only one left with any fighting capability on the scene, and Cavendish and the others did revert from toys to humans. Doesn't that prove Usopp saved them?]
[Scratchmen Apoo: Apoo apoo apoo apoo~ Now that you mention it, the long-nose really did turn the tide. Well then, let me see exactly how he managed it!]
Driven by everyone's curiosity, the Usopp in the video seemed ready to change the image others had of him.
〖Since Robin had been turned into a toy, Usopp had completely forgotten about her and was currently running away in fear.
However, spurred by the pained cries of the Tontattas, his running slowed... and slowed further.
Feeling the Tontattas' unwavering belief in him even while being beaten, Usopp finally made up his mind and returned to the Executive Tower.
"Enough! Stop it right there! You naive Tontattas, just how much do you believe in me?! They weren't wrong; I've been lying to you all along! I'm not some descendant of the legendary hero Noland, and my name isn't Uso-land. I'm the sniper of the infamous Straw Hat Pirates! My name is Usopp, a bona fide pirate!"
Usopp loudly confessed the truth, even slandering himself, hoping to shatter the Tontattas' illusions of him.
Unexpectedly, even after his confession, the Tontattas still believed in him.
Tontatta Chief Leo looked at Usopp with firm determination.
"Even if Uso-land is a pirate, you must still be a hero!"
Seeing the Tontattas' stubborn faith, Usopp spoke again.
"No, no, no! A pirate is a pirate! How many times do I have to repeat myself, you Tontattas?! I clearly deceived you, so why are you still stubbornly believing in me?"
He shouted loudly. Meanwhile, Trebol, standing nearby, smirked mockingly.
"So, you came all the way here just to expose yourself?"
Hearing Trebol's words, Usopp looked at him and grinned.
"Because if I didn't, these Tontattas would probably wait for me until they died. Rather than having my conscience haunted by that for the rest of my life, it's better to let me, whom you've trusted so much, give you a big gift now. Let me bet my life on this, go all out! That way, even if I die, it'll be way cooler!"
As he spoke, he aimed his slingshot at Trebol.
"Remember this well, Tontatta Tribe! My name is Usopp! If something really happens to me this time, you must build a bronze statue of me next to Noland's! Now, I'm about to become a legendary hero for you too, so watch closely!"
After saying this, Usopp directly challenged Trebol.
He had already cast life and death aside, resolved to die to save the Tontattas.〗
[Monkey D. Luffy: That's the way, Usopp! I knew you'd go back to save the Tontattas! Go for it, beat that guy!]
[Pirate 1: See? I knew that Usopp wasn't completely useless.]
[Pirate 2: That's not what you said before. But I really didn't expect Usopp to actually go back. Maybe we shouldn't have mocked him earlier.]
[Pirate 3: But with just Usopp alone, can he really defeat Trebol? I find that hard to believe.]
[Pirate 4: Want to know if he can win or not? Just keep watching!]
Although Usopp had returned to the Executive Tower to save the Tontattas, the audience still didn't quite believe he could defeat Trebol.
This made them even more curious about how Usopp ultimately saved the others who had been turned into toys.
They stared intently at the video, eager to find out the reason.
〖After Usopp finished his declaration, he immediately launched an attack on Trebol.
However, the gap in strength was undeniable. Usopp only managed to look cool for about three seconds before Trebol beat him into unconsciousness.〗
[Buggy the Clown: See? I told you the long-nose couldn't win. He got beaten up pretty badly.]
[Pirate 1: Well, a sniper fighting in close combat... the outcome was predictable.]
[Pirate 2: So Usopp still lost. Could he possibly regain consciousness? But he's already rolled his eyes back...]
[Pirate 3: Geez, just play the rest! I'm getting more and more curious. What happened next?]
Under everyone's anticipation, the video continued playing.
〖After Usopp was defeated, Sugar didn't let him off.
She picked up the special ball made by the Tontattas that she had thrown on the ground earlier.
Harboring the thought of making her enemy suffer the consequences of their own scheme, she fed the ball into Usopp's mouth.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
After eating the ball, Usopp screamed from the extreme spiciness. His entire face underwent a drastic reaction.
His eyes and tongue bugged out grotesquely. Combined with his naturally long nose, his face twisted into a terrifying grimace, which scared Sugar into fainting on the spot.
Thus, the S.O.P. Plan was officially a success.
After Sugar fainted, all the people she had turned into toys reverted to their human forms.
Later, the Elbaf warrior Hajrudin lifted Usopp up, urging the others who were saved to thank Usopp for his kindness.
At that very moment, a hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling—blasted open earlier by Sabo's "Flame Emperor" attack.
The sunlight streaming through the hole shone directly onto Usopp, making him look like a divine being.
Finally, the words "Let me guide you" (or something that sounded very profound and heroic in the moment) came from Usopp's mouth, deeply moving everyone he had saved.〗
[Buggy the Clown: Uh... did the long-nose really say "Let me guide you"? It kinda looked like he was just screaming in pain to me...]
[Gecko Moria: But who would have thought he'd save everyone by literally scaring Sugar unconscious? Gotta admit, the long-nose's luck is pretty incredible.]
[Pirate 1: The right time, the right place, and the right people... So that's how the Straw Hat sniper saved those people. But why is he called "God"? Is it because that beam of sunlight made him look like a deity?]
