While the spotlight in One Piece chapter 1177 mainly focused on the intense battles of Luffy and Zoro, the “nation’s doctor” Tony Tony Chopper unexpectedly stole the show with a never-before-seen ability. Without relying on swordsmanship or powerful Haki, Chopper left both allies and enemies stunned with a mysterious cleansing act.
The shocking “exorcism” slap at Elbaph
According to the latest events, Chopper directly confronted two giants who were under the control of the Domi Reversi ability. To face these massive foes, he activated Monster Point, transforming into a giant reindeer and delivered a thunderous slap to one of them.
Strangely, the attack initially seemed to cause no physical damage. However, immediately afterward, a mysterious black shadow separated from the giant’s body. In an instant, the opponent broke free from the Domi Reversi spell and returned to normal. Even Chopper himself appeared confused, unsure how he managed this “cleansing” effect.
Could Chopper’s Devil Fruit have awakened?
This display has sparked a wave of theories among One Piece fans. Many believe it signals that Chopper’s Hito Hito no Mi Devil Fruit has officially awakened.
Fans have long questioned the name “Human-Human Fruit” for this Devil Fruit. With this new power, it’s possible Chopper’s fruit is a rare Mythical Zoan type, linked to a legendary healer or sage. If Chopper’s awakened ability leans toward “cleansing” or “exorcism,” it would perfectly counteract the dark and shadowy powers of Imu, making him a formidable nemesis.
