Hotdog

Ahoy! This here is the 74th Featured Article. "Hotdog" has been featured, meaning it was chosen as an article of interest.

Template:Char box General Hotdog is a character that appears in the third One Piece movie, Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals. He is one of Count Butler's henchmen who helps him to look for the Crowned Treasure Horns.

Appearance

Contrary to his elderly features (wrinkled, stooped face and balding white hair), Hotdog possesses an extremely muscular body which is covered in many scars, implying a life of fighting. Dressed in plain clothes, the inclusion of a spiked collar and bracelets, alongside a very stout upper body causes him to heavily resemble a bulldog.

Abilities and Powers

Hotdog's spinning kick.

Hotdog has great shown physical strength, enough to severely injure a man as durable as Zoro after repeated strikes, and like Sanji relies on using a kick-based fighting style. Despite claiming to have the strongest kick and his strength being enough to weaken steel to the point of shattering, Zoro instead argues that there is a man whose strength surpasses Hotdog's.

His signature attack, while not named, appears to be a flying kick done whilst spinning at high speeds, which he used on Zoro several times.

Weapons

Though he relies on kicks, Hotdog has also been shown fighting with a ball and chain, which he used to restrain Zoro for prolonged period.

History

He came to the island with Count Butler to help him find the horns and began attacking and slashing at the animals with Heaby to cut their horns of, which they later presented to Butler for him to eat.

After meeting up with the Straw Hats, he fought Zoro using both his powerful kicks and a metal ball and chain, which he used at one point to restrain Zoro for a while and get a few free attacks in. He is defeated when Zoro uses his Tatsu Maki technique. After Zoro defeats him, Zoro openly states that Sanji's kicks are far more powerful.

Trivia

Hotdog's bounty poster as seen in Movie 9.

• His wanted poster appears in the opening of the ninth One Piece movie.
• Unlike the usual scheme in the anime and manga, where Sanji would fight the martial artists specialist while Zoro would fight swordsman, Zoro faces the noticeably kicking-based martial artist and later compared him to Sanji as far inferior not without noted his annoyance from Sanji.
