#if anyone deserves to throw the powerscalers' calculations out of whack by bringing brains and personality to the table it's usopp

[usoppssketchbook]

Two pages of a story I'll never write. Usopp ends up in a sniper competition turned assassin game with some of the deadliest sharpshooters in the New World. When Kuro Kabuto is destroyed, he's left armed with nothing but his wits and a tiny slingshot he hasn't used in years.

This idea was born because I miss the way Usopp used to fight, and his non pop green weapons. His ability to think on his feet and his creativity have always been his biggest strengths; I want a scenario where Usopp has to pull out all the stops on his gadgetry and trickery to beat enemies that far outstrip him in terms of physical power, only this time he sees it as the strength it is.
