This page was actually a good sign for Usopp though, as it's proof Oda is aware of Usopp's lack of development in terms of strength and bravery and a hint towards his finally getting it in Elbaf. Nothing so far though, but Elbaf is not over yet. I think Usopp meeting Loki will be a huge checkpoint, as they're opposites in several ways but also similar. Loki has always been extremely strong and brave, Usopp weak and cowardly. Usopp and Loki were both shunned by people in their villages and are both archetypes of liars. Loki uses an extremely powerful hammer, and Usopp hammer has been a staple attack Usopp has used throughout the series.
