Chinpy

In childhood Chinpy is drawn as a clear Luffy stand-in, dressed in a ragged open vest and rope-tied shorts. Where Luffy has his straw hat, Chinpy perches a sleeping tanuki on his head to fill the role. Grown up, he carries an ordinary build and dons a formal suit for office life, though the tanuki stays with him.

As a young pirate he is brazen and unembarrassed, thinking nothing of flaunting his abilities before total strangers. Adulthood tames him into a man who keeps to social convention, until the sight of his old friend Kusopp being humiliated by a boss reignites the reckless spirit that sends him back to his old ways.

Unable to make his body stretch like Luffy's, Chinpy trained the one part of himself that could, building it into a versatile weapon that he extends, reshapes, and wraps around objects, and which is strong enough to bear his weight from a tree branch. From it he derives a roster of gag techniques that echo Luffy's named moves, from a forward-thrusting "pistol" to spinning, propeller, and screw variations, plus a separate family of dung-based attacks unlocked by eating certain foods, including an armor coating and homing projectiles; he later picks up an imitation of Armament Haki after eating squid-ink pasta. Looking up to Luffy from the start, he recruited a parody crew across the spinoff, including Kusopp, Mechayowa Yoro, the cook Sasoz, and Chiyobbaba, clashing with figures like Sekken De Tearai and Mooo...rgan along the way. The group disbanded after Yamada Shinichi urged him home, and twenty years on he became a salaryman before a final outburst on Kusopp's behalf drove him back to adventuring, ending with another arrest for public indecency.
