My chopper's a little.. different!
My hc is that he acts so strangely young cuz his social intelligence is based solely on how long he's had his df for, NOT how old he actually physically is. It's why he's so great with medicine but still acts like a little kid! (1/3)
Unlike other zoan users, he can never look fully human. This is through a mix of him never getting any proper training and experimenting on himself with medicine. It's caused permanent side effects (i.e., his deer form has oddly human eyes, his human form has horns, etc) (2/3)
He has a human lifespan because I said so, and his social intelligence develops exponentially so he isn't still acting like a toddler when he's 18 (though he'll probably still have a childish air about him until he's in his 20s)
Tldr he's my son I think about him so much (3/3)
@crowliphale
God I wish Oda would actually age him up instead of turning him into a plush. I really like the idea!!! I do have a question if that's fine to ask: does he still have the blue nose in his "human" form or does it go away?
@menequillo234
He still has the nose! It's a defining enough feature that it'd stick even if he didn't experiment on himself, kinda like how my lucci design still has his weird facial hair in his leopard form π if chopper looked more "normal" then the tip of his human nose would be blue tinted
