Long Summary[]
On Tony-Tony Island, the children begin playing with Giant Luffy Bomber, though he accidentally destroys a house due to his massive size. Namifia instructs Chopperman to go clean all the trash on the island as punishment for bringing Giant Luffy Bomber back, while she decides what they're going to do with him. She contemplates selling him, but Zorokiller and Sanjirops advise her against it.
When Chopperman returns, however, Giant Luffy Bomber is gone. Namifia initially tells him that Giant Luffy Bomber had somewhere he had to be, but Zorokiller feels bad lying to Chopperman, and tells Namifia to tell him the truth. In the end, she concedes, and admits that a plane flew by and grabbed Giant Luffy Bomber, leaving a briefcase of money behind. Chopperman decides to go save him, while the other three heroes stay behind.
Meanwhile, in Spanda's home, Giant Luffy Bomber wakes up chained to the wall. Spanda reveals that he's a robot collector, and that he bought Giant Luffy Bomber, but the robot argues that Chopperman would never allow that. He tells Spanda that Chopperman will come rescue him, and as Spanda responds back that it won't happen, Chopperman busts through the wall. Spanda argues that Chopperman can't steal his property, but Chopperman responds that Giant Luffy Bomber isn't property but is his friend. However, as he prepares to free Giant Luffy Bomber, Spanda threatens to blow him up, stopping Chopperman.
As Chopperman hesitates, Giant Luffy Bomber asks Spanda why he's so hesitant to press the button. He threatens to self-destruct, stating that Chopperman will avenge him if he does, and Chopperman flies forward, hitting Spanda with Chopper Violence and defeating him. The pair of heroes return to Tony-Tony Island.
Back on the island, Namifia has spent the money left by Spanda to upgrade Chopperman's hideout. As they see Chopperman and Giant Luffy Bomber returning, she tells Zorokiller that they won on all fronts, and Zorokiller realizes that Namifia had always planned for Chopperman to go save his friend.
