This article contains spoilers for One Piece's Final Saga.

Known to be one of One Piece's main characters, Usopp is the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates and also a part of the East Blue Five, the original cast of the series. Usopp's character is known to be cowardly, but he aims to be a brave warrior of the sea. While Usopp is full of contradictions, that's what makes him human and it is part of why fans love him. Even though Oda is often hard on Usopp, it seems that he has big plans for him, and he might even get his own crew at the end of One Piece.

One Piece fans know very well that Usopp is rather obsessed with being a pirate. In fact, even without Luffy, Usopp wanted to follow in the footsteps of his dad and become a powerful and respectable pirate. Usopp also wants to be a brave warrior of the sea, and this dream of his was inherited directly from the Giants of Elbaf.

In the Syrup Village arc, Usopp had already created the Usopp Pirates, and while this was seen as a joke by many, Usopp was completely serious about this crew of his. In many ways, becoming a captain is Usopp's dream, and it is also clear from the fact that he believed himself to be the captain of the Straw Hats initially. Right now, Usopp is with Luffy, but their journey won't continue forever. Eventually, Luffy and Usopp will part ways, and when that happens, he will likely go on to start his own crew.

To Usopp, being a prideful pirate is a way of life, and he most likely won't give it up. Usopp will likely go on to establish a powerful crew and then sail the seas freely. As far as the number of his crewmates, Oda seems to be somewhat fixated on 8,000, so it is highly likely that that's the number.

Usopp Will Definitely Be A Captain

Come the end of One Piece, the Straw Hat Pirates will disband and most characters will go to their own homes. But, Usopp will likely start a new adventure. Usopp will never forget the call of the sea, and if there's one thing that fans can take from their recent journey, it is that Usopp's passion for becoming a proud captain. It is highly likely that Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi will be with him, and who knows, maybe even Kaya will become a pirate as serve as the ship's doctor.
