alt title is "Usopp's defining Giant Moment"

Taken from ch 119 pg3 from the Little Garden arc. This is after Usopp and Nami met the giant Broggy and learn of his100 years battle with his friend Dorry. Broggy also tells Usopp about Elbaf and the honor of the Elbaf gaint warriors. Usopp is greatly impressed by them, going as far as calling his friend "Teacher Broggy" and stating a desire to visit Elbaf someday.

There are two problems with the translation here. One is the name, 'Usop'. I'm assuming that its actally the same problem we had with a few other names (Chu, Jimbei/Jinbei) in One Piece, we didn't know the actual translation (Chew, Jinbe) until Oda cleared it up. The other mistranslation is the "great warrior of the seven seas" bit. I'm thinking that the translator did either a literal translation or subsituted their own for that.

Can anyone guess what is wrong with the saying "great warrior of the seven seas" is incorrect for One Piece?
hint
It should read "great warrior of the seas"

The "Seven Seas" is a Real World saying. There are not seven seas in One Piece, but five as far as most people in the storyline are concerned esp with the mapmakers. At this point in the OP storyline, (2nd island into the GrandLine, no one knew about the Sky Islands and White Sea, so the saying is not valid at this point.

But few people of the Blue Seas know about the White Sea and WhiteWhite Sea(if the mapmakers did, then it would be 7 seas)

Oda even has refered to them as the Five Seas (not including the white seas) =
1-East Blue
2-West Blue
3-South Blue
4-North Blue
5-Grand Line
Both parts of the Grand Line, Paradise and New World, are considered one sea on the maps even though the massive but narrow band of continital land, the Red Line, cuts it in two.
