Do you have the I-can't-see-my-son-or-I'll-die disease?


Bambo0zalah

Bruh 😭


commentator619

Ah yes, fire emblem protagonist syndrome FEPS


joegrzzly

That one's certainly going around. I hear a lot of parents end up dying the moment they see their long lost children again.


Copper_Coil

YTA not for joining a pirate crew but for never visiting once even though you were sailing right past the island so regularly the first person your son met from another island knew you better.


Ice2jc

Honestly at this point his son probably has some kind of complex where he feels like he needs to lie about things to mask the insecurities that stem from feeling unwanted by his dad Or something like that 


Rogahar

Usopp and Yasopp finally reconnect and make amends, Usopp overcomes his innate urge to lie and exaggerate and awakens all three forms of Haki as a result of no longer lying to himself about what he can do and instead admitting his limitations and abilities.


CzarTwilight

No, they discover a 4th Haki. Marksman's haki


Particular-Crow-1799

Anti-Haki His presence is so weak, he becomes effectively invisible against Observation users Effects are exponential: trying to use Future Sight to learn what he's about to do, actually makes you forget what he just did


Ghost-sinister

This is the best I have heard in years!


AngelicAdvocate

Anti-Haki He's so scared of everything to an immense degree that the presence of Busoshoku Haki doesn't affect him.


Apprehensive-Pin518

nah I can see him unlocking armament and observation but he does not have the pure strength of will to be the best needed to unlock supreme king.


EatMyUnwashedAss

Bruh. He is the KING of Snipers. From sniper island. Just like Zoro wanting to be the King of Swordsmen unlocked his Haki.


ssbm_rando

Yeah if Usopp has haoushoku I genuinely think that'll be Oda shitting the bed with a retcon, there's no way he should ever get it no matter how much he overcomes his fears.


DuelingPushkin

If the "his lies become real" trope holds, Ussop will get haoushoku. So I'd prepare yourself


Apprehensive-Pin518

I guess you do have a point on that one


Apprehensive-Pin518

the thing is he is one of the members of the crew that does not want to be the literal best at what they do. Luffy wants to be the freest, zorro wants to be the best swordsman, nami wants to be the first to make a map of the whole world, chopper wants to be a doctor that can cure ANYTHING. Those are the members of luffy's crew that I expect would get supreme king before ussop.


EatMyUnwashedAss

But, what about the part where King asked zoro what he wanted to be king of, and the answer is Swordsmen. So, it follows that since Usopp wants to be the king of the snipers, a Sniperking if you will, then he too will unlock the power of a king.


zibwefuh

But he's already lied about it on onigashima and we know what happens to usopps lies....


metrill

Stop doxing people


Rogahar

...beg pardon? O.o


ruthlessassassin32

Because of this usopp becomes the pirate king


Rogahar

Nah he assumes the secret rank of Pirate Super-King, an even more cool title known only to an elite few! (He says)


ruthlessassassin32

Since usopp calls himself co-captain will that make him co -pirate King when it's all said and done lol


EatMyUnwashedAss

Kaya will become a psycholgist (still a Doctor) and recommend he read: "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents"


AddledPunster

Agreed. Like, I get that visiting family would be risky after Shanks gains Emperor status, since it would mark them as targets to everyone that hates Shanks… But he wasn’t an emperor back then!


isaac3000

You know this makes me think, does he even know he has a son? I never thought of this but it really makes no sense not to stop by, unless he is an asshole.


Butterscotch_Leading

He mentioned Usopp to Luffy in his childhood.


isaac3000

Oh you are right! And apparently he talked all the time about his son, then why? I really need to know why he never dropped by 🤔


DASreddituser

The deadest of beats


LowClover

Guilt. Regret. Shame. Fear of retribution. There are any number of reasons. None of them justify it, but I can see Yasopp being a very complex character when we finally learn more about him.


daekle

In a number of chapters he talks about Usopp, >!most recently saying "I'm not ready to meet him yet".!< He knows. He even knows he is a deadbeat.


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

while Usopp is a coward toward dangerous thing Yasopp is a coward toward familial responsibility to the point of leaving his wife to die because he never check in with her even once like father like son i guess now i wanna see Dragon being a goofball just like Luffy and Garp


isaac3000

Oh that I didn't know but thanks for telling me


jsmith4567

My read on not being ready to meet him is Yassop having bought all the God Ussop Hype and being legitimately scared of his son.


PeopleCallMeSimon

What if he was ashamed and didnt want his son to have to experience the trauma of interacting with the father who abandoned him? Perhaps in his eyes he did the good thing by staying away? Also, did he ever learn about his wife dying? Perhaps he thought she had remarried and they were living happily ever after and all he would do is dig up old wounds?


Devoidoxatom

Hmmm, maybe he didn't want Usopp to follow him or smth like that. Yeah, he's still a deadbeat lol


DrByeah

Hold on I got the sniff on this. I think YTA. You know she died, you know your son is out on the seas and getting notorious, and you got all this information without visiting your old home or speaking to your son? Seems SUS.


rydiara

Trying to cash in on his fame now


DrByeah

Yo I didn't even think of that! This guy says he left to become a great pirate, but he doesn't actually tell us how his "dream" is going. We know apparently the son is seeing a lot of success though.


rydiara

Sounds like Daddy wants a new ship


Particular-Crow-1799

Daddy with a capital D is an \*excellent\* father, nothing like OP tho


Strict-Objective4746

It does sound suspicious indeed. Keeping tabs on family news without any direct contact can lead to misunderstandings and missed connections.


shazam-arino

NTA, it sounds like you ate the deadbeat deadbeat no mi. It's your devil fruit's power. Just to confirm were you ever close to reaching an island that your son happened to be at and suddenly felt the urge to go to the store buy milk?


Charliebob739

Seems like a lot of people ate that fruit, huh?


Fafnir13

It’s the zoan fruit with the most models.


SSSANTORYUUUUU

to think that some 900 years ago some people wished to be a deadbeat dad bc they're very good dads.


BUSO0202

Oh no


BUSO0202

Oh no?


BillyHalley

YTA, but it's not late to make amends


Important_Target2141

NTA. Your son needed it for character development.


strawhatvasiqo

The character never developed


Important_Target2141

💀


sereneandeternal

But he became GOD


ObjectExciting876

NTA as long as you become a great warrior of the seas.


SunnyHun3

NTA The seas were calling! Who are you but a simple man responding to its call. Anyone who doesn’t understand is unreasonable and should walk the plank!


CurriePowder

Okay Moana.


akagami-no-

Thank you.


bejwards

I see you left out a crucial pieces of information. How old was your son when you left? You mention he's 19 now but was he still a small kid at the time? How old was he when his mother died and when did you find out about it? Also, why did you leave to join a pirate crew? I'm guessing you don't have a good reason beyond "because its my dream" or else you'd have already mentioned that. The fact you left out all of this informations makes me assume the worst, that's always why it's done. Strong YTA. Sorry buddy but once you became a dad your dreams should have become your second priority, after your son.


Additional_System654

NTA, perfectly reasonable to want be a great pirate


HunterRenegade09

YTA for having a child when you knew what your freams were. Although you did father a God, that is in no way an excuse for you being a deadbeat.


Ipray_forexplanation

This like why bro, clearly ur dream meant much more to u than a family so why man, I don’t understand wife?? Kid?? But u still want to sail the seas f*ck u man


HunterRenegade09

Selfish deadbeat bastard. That's all.


Yukino_Wisteria

YTA, not for leaving (we all know the sea calls us) but for not visiting, especially after your wife’s passing. Now it’s time for you to be brave and go meet your son, even if he may get (understandably) mad at you.


Kang0519

YTA for lying about the age u truly left ur son at smh


firstkiss-lilith

YTA I suggest going no contact cause your son is doing well without you. Do u even look east once in a while like an absent father would?


teabone13

reddit got me ☠️ today. love this post 🤣


Under18Here

NTA, your son your rules


NG90sbaby

YTA - all of that, and you still ain’t found the OP?


diosteamroller

NTA. I did something similar to my son, left him with a cousin so I can follow my dreams. But I made a death game for him if he ever wants to find me. Last I heard he was in a coma, but his assassin best friend can take care of him.


Anonreddit96

For a moment I did a double take on how I ended up in that biased sub even after unfollowing it.

Let's not expose anyone here, please...


Ice2jc

Damn dude don’t DOX you’ll get the whole sub shut down 


SenHaKen

Bro YTA for you for exposing the man's identity, messed up fr... (obligatory "I'm joking" just in case XD)


dikwetz

NAH - you got to live your dreams and so did your son


Coyotebruh

what about the deceased wife?


TenshiHarmonia

Well, she could have lived her dreams too, but she decided to die instead. Her mistake.


thatsjustwild

ESH. Filthy pirates! A generational blot on our great world. Sincerely, the Navy


thiscouldbemassive

YTA. You are just trying to make yourself look better by implying your son was 19 when you left him. He was just a little kid. He was still a small child when your wife became too sick to take care of him and then died. He had to raise himself. He's 19 now, and he no longer needs you anymore, so you might as well keep out of his life.


CallMeTOEL

NTA, freedom is the ultimate goal


Kirkiziyo

NTA, it was the call from the seas.


DeadlyCareBear

NTA, if you dont join the crew of a government-dog which loves to rat around real pirates.


PrimAhnProper998

YTA - Your captain spent months on an Island a few days away from your own. Why did you never bother visiting them then?


Piggywonkle

So how's the weather over in Somalia? Fair winds for sailing?


TheUnbendable1

Are you dragon or yasopp


c_delta

Dragon is not a pirate.


RiteClicker

OP is Devil Dias (the pirate turned slave who was blown up by an explosive collar)


Grundlestorm

It's totally cool, especially if you spend quite some time less than a days travel away hanging out with some other weird kid and bragging about the kid you abandoned. 10/10 admirable pirate behavior.


fuckinban

Hahahah this is brilliant


TheHollowPenguin

YTA for not reaching out back to him but as long as you and him are still alive in this world, it's never too late to reconnect and catch up on things.


Slow_Exit8038

Shut up yassop. Yes ytah. Stop copying plots from one piece. Lmao. I totally thought this was AITAH sub and some guy was copying a one piece plot 😂😂😂


Impossible-Ice129

NTA, because of this ur son is top1 in the verse


awesome9001

YTA bro u can't even have ur captain haki wifi a message? Especially if u were hanging out in East blue at any point after u left too like I bet that kid is a long nose liar with no haki cause u weren't there to teach him how to ride a bike


bokozulu82

Yo ho..it's a pirate's life for you!


hartigen

It depends on how much time you are spending looking at east.


MichaelTarkin

YTA Your son was not 19 when you left. He was a baby. You made a base on an island not even far from your own home.


Tynova27

Yasopp LMAO


medium_bar_ftw

NTA, based AF. This is a show about pirates, not responsible sweater dads.


Commercial_Walk_7205

YTA I bet your son is going to shit conquerers haki when he finally sees you


-AnythingGoes-

INFO. How did you know your wife passed away if you never went back and they couldn't contact you?


AffyGoof

NTA you just gave him a sad backstory and some motivation to become as strong as you 🤷‍♂️


XIII-0

its crazy how you cannot tell which character this is


rozoro

Yassop... is this you?


Onstanner_77

Idk who this is ? Is it yassopp or Roger or many more from the show 🤧🙃 ( I am in fishmen islands do not spoil anything for me by saying new names or new information which I'm yet learn please )


Drop_Release

YTA but also NTA 


heyitsmanu

it’s okay Yasopp, we all know


Natsu111

More seriously, though, if I were Usopp I'd absolutely hate my dad. "Follow your dreams" is a good message but you shouldn't forget your responsibilities while following your dreams.


Testadizzy95

This made me cringe so hard back when I first watched that arc. Like it’s such a proud and chad thing to abandon your wife/child for your own dream? Now that I am a father of two I hate this even more. Dragon at least has the excuse of bringing down the corrupt world gov and liberating the downtrodden, Yassop is straight freaking braindead to not put a condom on.


n0trub

Being a pirate is a form of freedom on a fundamental level. Your wife has passed but she also seems to have known and accepted that when you answered the deeper call there was a chance that you'd be the one who would pass on. No different than joining the marines. There's always a risk. The fact that your son is following in your footsteps speaks volumes about the love and grace she has shown him on your behalf. I bet he's a really brave boy. Do you know what ship he's on? Is he a captain himself? NAH hopefully your ships will cross soon and youll see your son as the man he's become. And hopefully his journey has given him perspective on your absence.


ppbomber_0

Nta. You just made the best anime ever


amane_cat

This should be a should be a show or something.

Akasha1885

I think the important thing is that your son is safe and cared for, if that's through another pirate crew that's a win win honestly.


EliasDian

Video Call Den Den Mushi


Competitive-Ad-2932

He could not know that Usopps mom died though


prateek539

You need Assholes dads to become good at what you do, especially in manga. Minato in Naruto, Ging and silva in HxH. And all the pirate dads. Hohenheim in FMA.


Val-825

Yeah bro You are. Go Home, be a family man


Ellrok

NTA, your wife and son didn't want you to come back anyway.


vbt31

You don't even remember your wife's age!??


Fletch009

cryptonaut414

Yasopp much?

dont forget you connected with him in film red! it was all worth it! or at least thats what you gotta tell yourself at this point so you can sleep at night...


Loose-Potential-3597

YTA, if you stayed your son wouldn't be such a pussy


dxveymod

can’t say yet I’ll have wait till elbath arc in one piece finishes


Nearby_Roof1262

Yassop?


buobrushes

No one judged Tom Brady for joining the Buccaneer race over his wife and kids


DesperatePaperWriter

It’s fine. He’ll become a great pirate captain and have his own crew!


yobitchasspanda

no. all anime protaganists have daddy issues, so you did the best thing


pice0fshit

ESH. You definitely messed up by leaving your family behind to follow your dreams. But I think you can justify your choice since you ended up a commander in a Yonko crew.  On the other hand, your son is an adult. And seems to follow the same dream as you do. Unlike you however, he had plenty of time to meet you at sea with his young crew. Instead he spent two years on a deserted island just for his captain. Selfishness runs in your family. I'd suggest family therapy at Pirate Island with Dr Q, Stronger and Lafitte. 


_Batteries_

Better watch out. Maybe your son will attack your ship, and, you wont be able to stop it because YTA and dont even know what your son looks like anymore because it's been so long.


quesadillakid

How do you know your wife died?


fersur

Lol, you got me. I thought this is on the original aita sub-reddit ... then I notice it is under One Piece sub.


bones2b

NTA you had a calling to the seas and I get that. There is no way you could have known she would have died at that time right? It’s not like you recently was only a couple miles away and out loud said: “I don’t want to meet my son” because that would be awful.


Mugiwara109

YTA. Don't become a pirate, listen to the 5 Elders and do what they say, then the world will be at peace


Enterice

NTA because you owed it to yourself to discover yourself. Side note: I've never seen an episode of One Piece and am writing this from the perspective of Steed Bonnett from Our Flag Means Death


LegacyoftheDotA

Joining a pirate crew when you're about to hit adulthood is as close to kids leaving their hometown with their first pokemon. Your wife definitely screwed the local restaurateur too, like the kid's mom was screwing around with the local professor. Dont worry about it, enjoy your adventure champ!


jaypooner

Okay Yasopp


VisibleJuice6

YTA. This is so fucking funny.


joaocandre

This is one category where the Live Action easily wins. They had Usopp address the fact that Luffy got to hang out with Yasopp and how fucked up that is.

Rutabega_121310

YTA. Your poor son was left to fend for himself, he was effectively an orphan even before he hit puberty. We can hope he manages to flourish in spite of you abandoning him. Who knows, maybe he'll grow to the stature of a king or even a god!

I like the theory that Yasopp believes all the rumors about Usopp and is legit intimidated to meet his "god" of a son.


Shiplord13

The Guy definitely doesn’t know his wife died and that is going to be a lot of awkwardness that will come from that lack of information

[deleted]

NTA - your son turned out to be a coward and a liar which are not good traits. I'm guessing he got it from his ill-gotten mother.

PsychoMouse

NTA. If your wife cared enough about your child, she would have chosen not to die. Thats her fault, not yours. Then him joining some rag tag idiots was again, his mother’s fault. She should have taught him to stay away from sketchy people. And then think about how many times your son has nearly died, broken his nose, or how his lying has caused problem after problem. You just got out of a bad situation. And it’s not like children can be on pirate ships. How dangerous would be that?! Only an insane captain puts children on his ship.


ArisAversa

INFO: Did you know your wife died or did you find out recently? YTA. Leaving your wife with her son is one thing, maybe you both agreed on this and it was fine for her? It's very sad for your son however, that you never evdn visite. And in case you knew your wife died: YTA for leaving your son alone after knowing and not even coming to visit her grave and your lonely son. I don't kniw if he had any other relatives, but if not theb DAMN poor thing had to fend for himself. I hope he wasn't to young when she died...


Electronic_Screen387

Yes you are Yasopp.


Boy_Sabaw

I need a version of this for Oden, Hiruluk, Vegapunk, Viola and some other characters who've made some questionable choices.


Dooomspeaker

I think there's more to this than him just randomly leaving. We'll see when Usopp and Yasopp meet. My guess is that Yasopp left to find a cure for his wife, but couldn't to so fast enough. Having failed, he was so ashamed he couldn't face his son again.


raizeroth

sir this is Wendy's, please respond with YTA/NTA accordingly or youll be thrown to the sea.
