Chopperman (Spin-Off Manga)

Chopperman is a One Piece spin-off manga set in the Chopper Man universe. It is written and illustrated by Hirofumi Takei (武井宏文). It originally ran in Shueisha's monthly Saikyō Jump magazine between the years 2011 and 2014.

Premise
Chopperman (Tony Tony Chopper) is a superhero who lives on Tony Tony Island and fights against an evil organization led by Dr. Usodabada (Usopp).

Chopperman
Chopperman (チョッパーマン) is the protagonist of the Chopperman series. He is a hero protecting the peace on Tony-Tony Island. He uses his cape to fly around the island during emergencies. His primary attack is "Kyuun Spark" (キューンスパーク), though he will resort to "Chopper Violence" (チョッパーバイオレンス) if it fails. He is empowered by friendship, and will become stronger the more people he hears cheering for him. His hat is pink when he's invigorated and white when he's been defeated, but it can be recharged if enough people cheer for his success. His sense of smell is 10,000 times the average.

Chopperman wields the power of the "Cross Power" (〝クロスパワー〟), allowing him to double all his abilities. The power is contained in his hat. When his hat turns white, it means that the Cross Power is primed to be activated, and upon genuine, heartfelt cheering from his companions, the hat becomes dark red. During this time, Chopperman's abilities are doubled, lasting until the threat is defeated. The Cross Power's power only functions if the cheering is a genuine plea from those the wielder is helping, and it cannot be forced.

Air Force C
The Air Force C (エアフオースニC) is Chopperman's private jet. There are two versions of the jet, a model version and a real plane. The model version includes a M61A1 Vulcan 20mm caliber cannon, two missile launchers, and two Aim-9J missiles. The capabilities of the jet version are unknown.

Namifia
Namifia (ナミフィア) is Chopperman's assistant. She works inside Chopperman's Hideout, waiting for emergency reports. However, once the emergency occurs, she will always come with Chopperman to resolve it. Before the heroes discovered Dr. Usodabada's true identity, she did all the investigation work for it, while Chopperman and Zorokiller simply ignored it.

Zorokiller
Onigiri Mystery Man, Zorokiller (おにぎり怪人 ゾロギラｰ) is a monster created by Dr. Usodabada to take over Tony-Tony Island. However, he was created without a memory, and does not remember anything from before landing on the island, though he does recover some memories later. He was inspired by Chopperman's friendship with the island's residents and joined his side, helping to defend the island. Like his main series counterpart, he has no sense of direction.

Sanjirops
Perverted Monster, Sanjirops (エロ怪獣・サンジロプス) was one of Dr. Usodabada's two monster lieutenants, along with Robinflowan. When he worked with Dr. Usodabada, he very rarely listened to his orders, doing what he wanted instead. However, he was motivated by women, and went to Tony-Tony Island when he was told that Chopperman was holding a bikini contest. He refuses to work with anybody who would harm or threaten women, even going so far as to ally with Chopperman when Dr. Usodabada took Namifia hostage.

Robinflowan
Flower Mystery Woman, Robiflowan (お花怪人ロビフラワン) was one of Dr. Usodabada two monster lieutentants, along with Sanjirops. When she worked with Dr. Usodabada, she never listened to his orders, to the point of leaving to go on vacation without informing him. Upon returning from her vacation, she ran into Chopperman on Eaten Up Island, and asked to join his group instantly due to his cuteness.

Giant Luffy Bomber
Robot of Mass Destruction, Giant Luffy Bomber (秘密兵器巨大ロボジャイアントルフィボンバー) is a giant robot created by Dr. Usodabada. He is 50 meters tall and was meant to be a weapon of ultimate destruction. However, there seems to be an error in his logical programming, causing him to be childish and not want to fight. He was found by Chopperman in Dr. Usodabada's laboratory and brought to Tony-Tony Island, and began helping to protect the residents.

He used to live in a big city, but wanted a break from city life and so moved to an island where him and his family could be in peace with nature.

Shiromarimo and his wife later saved Chopperman and Zorokiller from drowning, and welcomed Damaswan to live with them and protect their island.

Cheko
Cheko (チェ子) is a woman living on Eaten Up Island with her family. She is married to Shiromarimo, and they have two kids together.

However, he was unable to defeat Chopperman, and so kept attempting to conquer the island. His soldiers obey him happily, but certain monsters (such as Sanjirops and Robinflowan) don't always obey.

After his defeat at Chopperman's hands, he lost his hearing. This allowed him to be immune to Black Brook's musical abilities, which in turn allowed him to fake being under his control while infiltrating his gang.

Dr. King Usodabada
Ultimate Secret Weapon, Dr. King Usodabada (最終秘密兵器Dr.キングウソダバダ) was Dr. Usodabada's ultimate weapon. It is a mech suit piloted by Dr. Usodabada himself, harnessing Black Brook's musical abilities. It is able to shoot "Ultrasound of Death" (死の超音波), a beam that turns all organic matter it touches into skeletons, as well as Zorokiller's, Sanjirops', and Robinflowan's attacks, to an even stronger degree than them. The mech suit was ultimately destroyed by Chopperman.

He has the ability to fragment his body and remotely control the parts, making him nearly impossible to defeat. However, the residents of Tony-Tony Island discovered that his head could only move so far from his body parts, and they held his separated body in place, allowing Chopperman to defeat him.

Bara Buggy later returned to Tony-Tony Island, during Dr. Usodabada's return. With his increased strength, he was able to nearly defeat Robinflowan, and was immune to Zorokiller and Sanjirops' attacks. However, he was easily defeated by Chopperman.

Enelgotton
Gorogorobot "Enelgotton" (ゴロゴロボット"エネルゴシトン") is a robot created by Dr. Usodabada as a backup measure in case of Bara Buggy's defeat. He was able to summon and control lightning at will, though he could not become it, unlike his One Piece counterpart. However, despite his immense power, he has no will of his own, and is controlled completely by Dr. Usodabada's remote controller. He nearly defeated Zorokiller and Chopperman at the same time, but Chopperman was able to destroy Enelgotton at the last second, forcing Dr. Usodabada to flee once again.

Mokmoker Z
Smoke Robot Mokmoker Z (スモークロボモクモーカーZ) was a robot created by Dr. Usodabada to guard the first floor of his lair. His strategy revolved around filling the fighting arena with smoke, then using his built-in infrared sensors to track his opponents. However, a weakness in his strategy is that if there are too many heat sources, he becomes unable to track his opponents. Sanjirops took advantage of this to confuse Mokmoker Z, allowing Zorokiller to defeat him.

Great Crocosaurus
Giant Monster Weapon Great Crocosaurus (巨大怪獣兵器 ブしートクロコザウルス) is a giant crocodile monster created by Dr. Usodabada to protect the third floor of his lair. It's so powerful that not even Dr. Usodabada can control it, and his soldiers tried to stop him from freeing it. It's jaw has a pressing force of two tons, with it's tail have a force of at least ten tons. However, it also uses it's tail to balance itself and navigate, and becomes extremely disoriented when it's cut off. He is strong enough to completely collapse Dr. Usodabada's lair, though what happened to him afterwards is unknown. He can also breath blasts of sand, seemingly enough to fill an entire room.

Tama, Nin, & Pii
Killer Robot Trio Tama, Nin, & Pii (キラーロボトリオたま・にん・ピー) is a trio of robots created by Dr. Usodabada, while he was working under Black Brook.

While its legs were weak, it was able to transform into a jet, and was able to shoot an "Ultrasound of Death" (死の超音波), a beam that would transform all organic matter it hit into skeletons. It also contained the Dr. King Usodabada, which could be triggered once the Brookbird was destroyed.

He sets traps for his opponents, waiting at their only source of medecine, and doesn't hesitate to fight outside forces who get involved in his hunts.

His music can brainwash those who hear it, as well as force people who lie to him into a near-vegetative state. He uses this power to steal money, and has succeeded in becoming extremely rich, to the point where Dr. Usodabada considered his wealth enough to create the ultimate weapon. At some point in the past, he seemingly lost to the East Blue police force and was executed, but had actually faked his death.

He was searching for the "Cross Power" (〝クロスパワー〟), planning to use it to take over the world. It would allow him to project his music directly into people's minds, bypassing his only weakness. However, he could not fulfill it's activation conditions.
