Chopper’s Next Power-Up and Final Form

As we all know, Chopper is often seen as the most reliable (maybe not strongest) of the cowardly trio. Seen as the three weakest and most cowardly members of the crew, they often serve the purpose of adding emotional weight to the stronger character’s fights. But they also get their moments to overcome their fear and shine. Right now a lot of people (me included) are “waiting for Elbaf” in the hopes of seeing Usopp shine. While Nami seems to almost as strong as she’s ever going to be with Zeus.

Enter Chopper, people are waiting impatiently for another Enies Lobby Monster Point moment. A chance for Chopper to show his stuff. And I might have a clue as to what it’s going to be.

First we need to understand Chopper’s powers. The Human-Human fruit let this little blue nosed reindeer turn into a humanoid form. Using special drugs he developed grants him greater control over the forms he wishes to turn into. This is where my interpretation might differ from people, but I believe most of Chopper’s forms to be based on Human Tribes in the One Piece world.

Exceptions:

Examples:

These human tribe parallels are the basis of his power, the Human-Human fruit. Compared to Zoans we’ve seen, Chopper’s fruit doesn’t have a “model”. As such, I don’t believe the different human tribes of the world would be split between different devil fruit models.

The only transformation I’ve yet to talk about is Chopper‘s Monster Point. If we follow the logic of every other transformation, it’s pretty obvious that Monster Point is supposed to parallel the Giant tribe.

This is important because for the longest time we believed Chopper’s strongest transformation to be based on the world’s strongest tribe/people, the Giants. By exerting his body and consuming three rumble balls (pre-time skip) he could tap into the strength of what was believed to be the strongest type of human on earth.

When trying to determine how Chopper could possibly become stronger, two things come to mind. Devil Fruit Awakening and a stronger human tribe.

We used to believe the strongest human tribe was the Giants, but recently we’ve been introduced to a new race. Believed to be Gods and portrayed to possibly be even stronger than the Giants, the Lunarians.

According to Whitebeard’s words, they used to be seen as Gods and resided on top of the Red Line. No other human tribe has quite that prestige, indicating that the Lunarians are indeed special.

Now I believe that Chopper reaching Awakening and him transforming into a Lunarian (Angel Point maybe) might end up being one and the same. A very clear similarity has been drawn between most of the Zoan Devil Fruit Awakenings we’ve seen and Deities/Gods. Even if we ignore the Mythical Zoans which are based on God-like entities, the fire/smoke sash used to identify awakened Zoans is a symbol of Godhood.

Seeing as the Lunarians have been touted as a race of Gods, it seems to me like it would line up very nicely for Chopper’s final point and Awakening to be a Lunarian transformation.

Anyways, that’s my theory on how Chopper will get stronger/what his Awakening will entail. If you’ve got any other ideas, feel free to share!
