Usopp Pepper Sauce Star Naming
Ch. 126 p. 8 — the Pepper Sauce Star deployed on-page in named-attack combat-form
The Pepper Sauce Star is deployed on-page in named-attack form as Deluxe Pepper Sauce Star!!! Exploding Star as bait, then reveals the bluff: “That wasn’t a bomb. It was my Deluxe Pepper Sauce Star!!!” ). First on-page combat-use of the pepper-sauce round (seed planted Ch. 0096 as an in-development R&D item). Canonized as the anti-explosion-immune-enemy counter — the weapon that beats Mr. 5’s Bomu Bomu no Mi blast-immunity by being a non-explosive disguised as an explosive. Cross-link Usopp Pepper Sauce Star Bluff-Bomb Tactical Lie (new — the lie-as-weapon doctrine the deployment operationalizes).
The chapter installs Usopp’s slingshot arsenal as actively under R&D between arcs. Pepper Sauce Star (anti-vision incapacitator) joins the Ch. 36-37 Egg-Star / Exploding-Star / Smoke-Star canon as an explicit in-development item.
