A new ONE PIECE project titled CHOPPER’s has been launched, focusing on the popular character Tony Tony Chopper living in the modern world. Unlike the series’ traditional pirate setting, this spin-off sees Chopper in everyday environments, interacting with the world much like an ordinary person.
The project officially opened its website and social media accounts on May 14. It will feature manga and illustrations depicting Chopper’s daily routines, outings, and emotional experiences, shared across platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and the project’s website.
Beyond storytelling, CHOPPER’s is being presented as a full brand initiative. Merchandise featuring Chopper in his new setting is also planned, along with collaborations involving various artists and fashion or lifestyle brands. The focus appears to be on integrating Chopper into relatable, modern real-world scenarios, giving fans a different angle on the character’s appeal.
