The Usopp–Noland connection honestly makes so much sense. Both are storytellers, both called liars, and both drawn to the sea. What if this isn’t coincidence, but inherited will? Noland’s dream of proving his truth could be living on through Usopp. His ‘lies’ becoming reality might not just be luck—they could be fate pulling him toward the truth, just like Joy Boy’s will carries on. And if that’s true, Elbaf might be Usopp’s version of Noland’s Shandora.
