People can doubt it all they want, but the setup is way too deliberate to ignore and Brook is going to be part of it.

Usopp and Gunko have been trading blows all arc. There’s a reason he was the one who helped Brook face a possessed Gunko. There’s a reason he was the first person to actually land a hit on her. And it’s definitely not a coincidence that both of them are currently down at the same time.

Once they’re back on their feet, their final interaction is inevitable. Whether it turns into a fight, a conversation, or something in between, they will cross paths again. The story has been building toward that moment from the start, and whatever form it takes, it’s going to matter.

Usopp vs Gunko round 3 featuring Brook is on its way trust the process people.

Trebol could slip around all of Usopp’s shots. Then Ulti and Page One show up, who are basically walking tanks, with Ulti being especially ridiculous. And now we’ve got the Holy Knights, where his attacks do land, but they just regenerate after getting their heads blown off.

For a guy whose entire fighting style revolves around shooting people, that has to be insanely inconvenient. At this point, Usopp either needs way stronger ammo, Armament Haki, or honestly both.
