Main Characters (3)
Summary
Short on cash, Chopper Man and his partner Namifia are scraping by when the would-be villain Dr. Usodabada, a parody of Usopp, cooks up a scheme to topple Chopper Man, grab fame for himself, and recruit a better crew than his unhelpful sidekicks Sanjirops and Zorokiller. His plan centers on seizing the beachside TV station and broadcasting his demands to the public.
Key Events
Almost nobody takes the threat seriously except Chopper Man, who only gets involved for the rare Air Force C-Max collectible on the line. The showdown plays out first as a wrestling match, which Chopper Man wins, then escalates into a mecha battle that he also wins. With the evil doctor sent flying, Chopper Man rises to genuine celebrity status.
