The worlds across the multiverse went silent.
Staring at the green-haired little girl who suddenly appeared before Luffy and Trafalgar Law, everyone watching widened their eyes in horror. It was as if the word "danger" was stamped across the Straw Hats' faces.
"Damn it! They finally broke through the Donquixote Family's blockade and reached the new palace."
"But compared to Doflamingo, that little girl is the truly dangerous one!"
"If Luffy and Trafalgar Law were the type to mercilessly attack kids, this wouldn't be a problem…"
"But neither of them would ever strike a child without reason!"
"That means the user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit has her opening. This is bad. Really bad."
"If she touches them even once while they're unguarded…"
"The two main fighters of the entire operation would be turned into toys. The battle would basically end right there!"
Across countless worlds, hearts clenched as Luffy casually accepted the grapes Sugar handed him.
Everyone felt their own hearts jump into their throats.
Then the screen shifted.
The viewpoint jumped to the Old King's Plateau.
Through Viola's Devil Fruit ability, Usopp had a clear view of what was happening inside the palace. And the moment he learned his captain was about to run into Sugar, he sprang into action.
"Hey, look! God Usopp is moving!"
"He's setting up his slingshot? Wait, is he trying to snipe from here?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Half a city lies between him and the palace!"
"At that distance, even a top-grade sniper rifle would barely stand a chance, let alone a slingshot!"
"And worse, Luffy and Law are inside the palace. The only angle into that room is through one of those tiny windows on the outer tower."
"From here, those windows look like dots. Add in wind direction, wind speed…"
"This is basically an impossible shot!"
Voices across the multiverse shook their heads. No one believed Usopp could hit anything from so far away.
"Impossible? Not necessarily. It's too early to say. Sniping is exactly what long-nosed Usopp was born to do."
The world of Katekyo Hitman Reborn — Reborn smiled with interest.
"A sniper from another world? Let me see what you've got."
From Akame ga Kill, Mine leaned forward, intrigued.
"A shot at this distance, with no real sniper weapon… hitting the target is like reaching the heavens. But doing the impossible is what heroes do. Show us, Usopp."
In Detective Conan's world, the top sniper Akai Shuichi smiled slightly.
Worlds of Aria, Darker than Black, Black Bullet… snipers everywhere held their breath.
"Go for it, Sniper King!"
In the One Piece world, those who knew Usopp's title began cheering.
On the screen, Usopp steadied himself under enormous pressure and continued fine-tuning his aim. The weight on him was crushing, but suddenly his vision sharpened.
He could clearly see Luffy, Law, and Sugar inside the palace. Every detail etched itself into his mind.
At that moment, Usopp awakened an extreme version of Observation Haki — ultra-long-range precision.
He no longer needed Viola's clairvoyance. He could see the palace across the entire city with his own eyes.
"It's now!"
Usopp released the slingshot.
The pinecone-shaped projectile screamed through the air.
"He fired!"
"Can he do it…?"
The multiverse watched with held breath.
A moment later…
"It's falling short."
"No way a simple slingshot could reach that far."
"So all that concentration was just for show…"
Watching the projectile arc downward before reaching the palace, disappointment spread.
"No. It's not over!"
Kakashi's Sharingan flashed in the Naruto world.
"So that's it. It's a custom three-stage rocket shot. What a clever idea."
Jigen Daisuke from Lupin III raised a brow.
"That thing's like a rocket. First booster ends, second one kicks in, then a third. I've never seen a projectile like this."
City Hunter's Ryo Saeba whistled in admiration.
"And pulling off a three-phase correction shot is way harder than hitting in one go. If he lands this, the long-nose really will ascend to godhood."
Under countless stunned gazes, Usopp's three-stage projectile reignited midair — once, twice — each burst correcting its trajectory.
It slipped perfectly through a tiny window in the outer wall, passed between Luffy and Law, and arrived right in front of Sugar.
The same trick.
The same result.
The terrifying long-nosed mask burst open right in her face. Sugar shrieked, eyes rolling back, and fainted on the spot once again.
The multiverse erupted in thunderous applause.
This time it wasn't luck.
As the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper, Usopp had shown his true skill. His mastery of the shot left countless viewers speechless.
One shot. Legendary.
Usopp had ascended.
"Beautiful."
Detective Conan's Akai Shuichi actually clapped.
"Tch. That long-nose just got lucky."
Black Organization snipers Korn and Chianti scoffed, only to immediately fall silent under Gin's icy glare.
"The Straw Hats' long-nose… that level of sniping is no joke. Even with magic assisting me, I'm not sure I could match him."
In Fairy Tail, Bisca whispered in awe.
"That kind of calculation… I couldn't do that even in a game."
Sword Art Online's Sinon muttered, stunned.
Back in the One Piece world—
"Heh. Not bad for the Straw Hats' long-nose. Still nowhere near my level though."
Van Augur of the Blackbeard Pirates chuckled.
"Sniper King!"
"Long live the Sniper King!"
"Born on Sniper Island, invincible Sniper King!"
The punks from Franky's old gang roared in celebration.
New World — the Red Hair Pirates watched with wide eyes.
"Incredible sniping."
"Yasopp, your son inherited your skills perfectly."
"You two are probably the strongest snipers in this world."
The crew spoke in admiration.
"Wahahahaha! That's my boy!"
Yasopp laughed proudly.
"With the last obstacle gone, it's finally time for the main event. Luffy, go."
Shanks grinned.
Under the multiverse's watchful gaze, Luffy and Law reached the top of the palace.
Doflamingo stood before them.
The clash of titans was about to begin.
Meanwhile, in the real world:
On the heights of Dressrosa's royal city, the blind swordsman Fujitora stepped before Doflamingo.
"Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo… would you do an old man a favor and simply walk away from this country without causing further harm?"
"..."
