After two years, he has grown taller, and his hair has grown longer. He wears a dark colored jacket, with a sash and plaid shorts. His glasses have rounded edges, and his eyes are not as small.

Abilities and Powers

Kuro Arc
The Usopp Pirates were formed 5 years from the start of the story. Tamanegi, Ninjin, and Piiman have joined Usopp in telling lies during that time. He first appeared in Syrup Village when the Straw Hat Pirates arrive. The Usopp Pirates later assist Kaya in her escape when Captain Kuro planned to kill her. They did this mainly by running and hiding from Jango, whom Kuro sent to make Kaya leave everything to him in her will. After Kuro's defeat, the Usopp Pirates had a tearful disbandment when Usopp decided to be a real pirate. The children decided to continue Usopp's lies of "pirates are coming".

Jango's Dance Paradise
After Usopp joined Luffy, Tamenegi, Ninjin, and Piiman found Jango in their village, so they chased him and forced him to run away.

Post Enies Lobby Arc
Tamanegi, Ninjin, and Piman were seen again after Enies Lobby was raided, reacting to Usopp's new bounty. Even though it said "Sogeking" and he was wearing a mask, they could recognize him because of his nose.

News of the Straw Hats' Return
Tamanegi is seen again in Syrup Village along with his two friends, reading a newspaper about the Straw Hats.
