Does Usopp's nose help him to aim?

[Warmmedown]

Do you think that Usopp's nose is used to help him know which way he is pointing? He can line up the tip of his nose with his catapult (or the other way around, I forgot which is longer) and then line those up with the target.

If he looked like this it would not be possible



If he had a limp nose it would also take too much energy, which he can't get as Luffy eats everything



I think that this is why Usopp was able to develop his haki in Dressrosa. Similar to Luffy, his body awareness is naturally better developed over a larger area, as his body is much further away from his central nervous system. This allowed his to practise haki, without even knowing it.

Writing this wasn't on my to-do list today. Fuck.

You could assume this as a logical possibility and I wouldn't put it past Oda to consider something like this canon as a joke. However, it probably has more to do with his dad being a naturally gifted sniper and how much relevance OP provides to the theme of inherited traits and will.
