One Piece-----Usopp

Hello everyone, today I want talk about Usopp who is a member of Luffy's team. He is an engineer and sniper, but he is not strong. He has low attack power plus a cowardly personality and exhibits funny behaviour. Usopp in Japanese means liar that symbolizes his main theme. My question is how such a weak person like Usopp stays alive on Luffy’s team, because Luffy’s team always has to defend itself against very strong enemies.  Compared to other rival members Usopp is very weak even though he fights with other weak rivals he is still weaker than them.  How Usopp survives is by telling lies to the enemy and trying to make them feel afraid.  Another strategy he uses is to find any mistakes the enemy made and use it to his advantage.   Most of the time the lies work, but sometime he still gets into trouble because the enemy is stronger, hence he usually gets serious injuries.  Usopp doesn’t care about the injuries because his dream is to become an ocean warrior and I think he can.
Thank you for reading.
