"Shishishi! Delicious!" Luffy, invited over by Usopp, took a huge bite out of a piece of meat and exclaimed happily.

Beside him, Rowen was also eating at an incredible speed.

Having already equipped Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple), Rowen's appetite now rivaled Luffy's.

Like Luffy, Rowen was thoroughly sick of eating apples.

Moreover, the nutrients from all this meat were being rapidly absorbed through his Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple), strengthening Rowen's body.

"Pretty good, right? I can't believe you know my old man, Luffy!" Usopp grinned happily. Hearing news about his father, Yasopp, made him incredibly happy.

"I met him when I was little. You look exactly like him, so I recognized you right away," Luffy said between mouthfuls of meat.

"So my old man is on the crew of that great pirate Shanks, huh?" Usopp's face filled with admiration.

"Your dad's marksmanship is incredible!" Luffy recalled fondly.

"I heard so much about you from Yasopp, my ears almost fell off! Yasopp is an amazing pirate," Luffy added with a smile.

"Right?! I'm incredibly proud of my dad for bravely heading out to sea like that, risking his life!" Usopp declared proudly.

"Check Traits." Rowen, having finished all the meat on the table, finally had a moment to check Usopp's Traits.

If he hadn't eaten quickly, Luffy would have devoured everything.

Usopp Traits: Slingshot Sniper (Pale Purple), Inventor (Pale Purple), Anthem of Courage (Special).

Slingshot Sniper (Pale Purple): Possesses exceptional sniping talent. When using a slingshot for sniping, can be even more effective than firearms.

Inventor (Pale Purple): Possesses outstanding inventive talent, capable of creating various gadgets and tools.

Slingshot Sniper (Pale Purple), being a combat Trait like Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple), currently reflected Usopp's overall combat capability based on his present sniping skill. It didn't indicate his ultimate potential ceiling.

In the One Piece world, snipers relying solely on marksmanship rarely achieved high combat power levels; firearms were largely ineffective against truly strong opponents.

Usopp, still untrained at this point, only reached the Pale Purple combat tier by combining his natural talent with the special ammunition created through his Inventor (Pale Purple) Trait.

Truly exceptional snipers reached their peak combat potential through Haki.

Therefore, possessing a Pale Purple sniping Trait even before learning Haki already proved Usopp's sniping talent was potentially on par with his father, Yasopp's.

Of course, this didn't diminish the importance of raw sniping skill. Controlling Haki was difficult enough; imbuing it into projectiles and hitting targets accurately became exponentially harder as Haki strength increased.
