One Piece: Oda Officially Reveals The Strongest Sniper

by

This post contains spoilers for One Piece.

Being a classic action manga, *One Piece* features many powerful characters and intense battles. Creator Eiichiro Oda designed a wide variety of unique fighting styles to keep the action fresh and engaging.

In *One Piece*, characters fight using a variety of methods. Some gain powers from Devil Fruits, while others rely on Haki. Many strong fighters combine both. Beyond that, some characters are skilled with weapons like swords and firearms. Those who specialize in rifles, guns, and similar ranged weapons are known as snipers, and nearly every major pirate crew includes at least one.

Yasopp Is The Strongest Sniper In One Piece

Yasopp Is A Top Officer Of The Red Hair Pirates

  • Yasopp is the best sniper in One Piece
  • He has incredible sniping skills

When it comes to snipers in the world of One Piece, Yasopp is considered the best. Years ago, Shanks recruited Yasopp to join his crew after hearing about his incredible shooting ability. Shanks specifically sought him out because of his talent. Even as a child, Luffy saw Yasopp’s skills in Fooshia Village and was deeply impressed.

Yasopp is an incredibly skilled sniper, famously able to shoot the antennae off an ant from 100 yards away without hurting it. Achieving this level of precision requires years of dedicated practice. While we haven’t seen Yasopp demonstrate his full abilities in the story yet, his position as a high-ranking member of the Red Hair Pirates suggests he’s a powerful fighter. As the story unfolds, Yasopp will likely play a larger role, and fans can anticipate seeing his true strength revealed.

Usopp faces a lot of expectations as Yasopp’s son, and many fans feel he hasn’t lived up to his potential since the Dressrosa arc. That was the last time he really showcased his sniping abilities, notably when he awakened Observation Haki and defeated Sugar. Since then, his strength hasn’t noticeably improved. However, there’s optimism that he’ll become more powerful in the Final Saga, especially with a potential fight against Van Augur, who is considered one of the strongest snipers in the series.

Yasopp And The Red Hair Pirates Will Fight The Blackbeard Pirates In The Final Saga

Van Augur Will Be Yasopp’s Opponent

Yasopp’s most dangerous opponent is likely Van Augur, the incredibly skilled sniper from the Blackbeard Pirates. Van Augur is famous for his unbelievable accuracy – he once shot down seagulls from a distant island and even noticed when one took longer to fall. He also has a Devil Fruit power called the Wapu Wapu no Mi, which lets him instantly teleport. While they haven’t clashed yet, there’s a strong possibility Van Augur and Yasopp will eventually fight.

Shanks is searching for Blackbeard, probably to prevent him from finding the One Piece. When their paths cross, Yasopp will likely be forced to battle Van Augur. Most likely, Yasopp will be defeated and lose his title, leaving it up to Usopp to defeat Van Augur instead.

Blackbeard defeating Shanks will likely make him the leading contender for finding the One Piece. He’s expected to acquire the Road Poneglyphs and may be able to get more clues about Laugh Tale and the treasure from Shanks himself. Interestingly, the Red Hair Pirates and Blackbeard Pirates might not even fight each other directly, potentially focusing their efforts against other pirate crews. For now, these are just theories, but we’ll likely get answers as the story progresses in future chapters.
