Usopp also known as God D. Usopp is one of the crucial straw hat pirates. Known for his epic sniping skills and his masked persona Sogeking, Usopp has been part of the crew since the beginning and has helped his nakamas through tough times.
Usopp has been cowardly, known to continuously lie, and enjoys spinning fantastic tales to both friends and strangers since his introduction. However, he has proved his worth during tough times and has made his mark in many fights with his sniping.
Now Eiichiro Oda, the mastermind behind the epic story of One Piece has given a new look to Usopp by transforming him into the Gear 5 look. The look at been released on the internet and fans are going crazy with their reactions to the new Usopp look.
Usopp’s Gear 5 Transformation
Oda recently sketched a rendition of Gear 5 Usopp for the One Piece community in a recent issue of SBS which was shared by @pewpiece on X(Twitter). Usopp is transformed into a rubbery god, resembling Luffy during the Wano arc. His dark curls have been changed into foggy white heaps, and his nose is apparent in the photo. Usopp can be seen laughing heartily in this photo, with his palm over his face, and he looks the part of the Sun God Nika.

Usopp looks just like Luffy and his signature Gear 5 pose makes it more realistic. The sketch has a speech bubble that reads “Wahaha! What happened at the future Island you asked? Set that aside for now…. And let’s go and set sail as usual! Usopp Gallery Pirates!!!”
Fans have loved this sketch of Usopp transforming into Gear 5. Many even said that Usopp looks better in Gear 5 than Luffy did and his personality would fit better for the Gear 5 transformation. Some even asked for Oda to draw all the straw hat pirates in Gear 5 transformation.
Gear 5 Transformation in One Piece
Gear 5 is the awakened form of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which enhances the user’s rubbery body. It also gives the user the capacity to modify and transform their surroundings. This skill was acquired by Luffy after his final encounter with Kaido on Onigashima.
The awakening of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, formerly known as the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, provides the user freedom, allowing them to battle in any way they want. As a result, the user is supposed to become the “Warrior of Liberation,” imparting joy and freedom to everyone around them.
Usopp if given the powers of Gear 5, would become extremely strong as he would be able to modify his surroundings which would not only help him with his sniping but could also act as a form of defense. However, this would change the entire plot of the story and Usopp might lose his cowardly yet entertaining personality which is one of the biggest traits of Usopp as a character.
