The King Of The Snipers Sogeking
For his involvement with his fellow crew members in Enies Lobby, and in particular setting fire to the World Government flag and sniping off marines on the Bridge of Hesitation, Usopp was recognized as a threat by the World Government and was given a bounty of 30,000,000. Due to Usopp disguising himself as Sogeking at the time, the authorities attributed Usopp's bounty to his Sogeking persona. While most people easily recognize Usopp as Sogeking, the people of Usopp's village (with the exception of Kaya and the former Usopp's Pirates) don't recognize that they are both the same person.
 For most of the story, Usopp is a tanned, skinny teenager with black curly hair and a long nose, which is apparently an allusion to Pinocchio, a wooden boy from a story of the same name who possessed a nose that would stretch after he lied. He usually wears a dark yellow plaid bandanna, a blue and white striped armband on his left arm, special Sniper Goggles, brown overalls with a white sash and no shirt underneath (although he wore a murky green shirt during the Skypeia Arc). Usopp inherited his famous nose from his mother, while the rest of his face closely resembles his father's. During the Straw Hat separation, after landing in the Forest of Gluttony, Usopp had gotten very fat.
After the 2 year time-skip, Usopp, no longer fat, has grown his hair longer. He has also buffed up and grown "manlier"; slightly taller and musclular. Usopp now has a new pair of goggles around his neck (his Sniper Goggles weren't shown) and has some headphones or ear protectors on. He also now has a little goatee along with a new white suncap he wears on his head. He also has a new pair of rolled-up pants, suspenders, and a pair of boots.
Oda claims that Usopp is most represented by the armadillo.[6] Oda has also said that he uses the color yellow to represent Usopp, and he smells of gunpowder.[7]
