^Yeah, I remember posting that info a couple years back (I don't think it was here, though.... rather, it was in one of the chapter threads). It always amused me that for Usopp's "nationality", Oda just gave him a vague "Africa". Personally, if I were to specify a country for him, I'd say he could fit as a
North African (think Egypt, Tunisia, or Libya..... you know, those countries that got a lot more attention in recent years thanks to the Arab Spring).
Anyway, since this thread was bumped, that reminds me: The next volume should be released pretty soon (by next month, I believe). As always, I'll post the new SBS info as soon as it's available!
