absolutely

@tsaitama haha why does everyone think this

@strutheo from a writing standpoint and just little hints about usopp here and there. his dream itself "to become a brave warrior of the sea" already sounds like a death flag. and lastly, im sorry it has to happen but i believe luffy may need 1 more tragedy in his life to wrap up the final saga and to make the stakes felt. it will probably have to be usopp his best friend
