**Chip** was a monkey mink monk who ran the Crystal Lagoon Resort. He was in Ragbek working as a waiter in the Ragbek SteakHouse. After being killed in Limbo by Rick, it was implied that Chip had something to do with the initial crash in Episode 1.

## **Appearance**

A humanoid monkey mink that wears a blue and black shawl/cloak. He had a welcoming face that dons a circular pair of glasses.

After the events of the movie, Chip dons an executioner's hood and was more dishevelled than before.

## **Personality**

Chip was a typically cruel, manipulative, greedy mink. He used to run a resort in which employees are not allowed breaks, overcharges on many things, and takes advantage of his employees criminal history to manipulate them. Although he gave the Devil's Luck Pirates various assets such as a 200% refund on their visit and his likely meito banana sword, it is unknown if there was an ulterior motive, such as a fraudulent transfer of assets to avoid seizure in a lawsuit.

His philosophy was to live and not learn. Meaning that everything bad in his life is due to other people rather than his own bad behavior. He was also known to blame others even for things that they weren't involved in.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

#### Overview

Chip was a former warlord and used to own the Crystal Lagoon resort. He had authority over a crew of former criminals.

#### Mink

Due to his mink (or possibly half-mink) nature, Chip has had great strength, stealth, and agility ever since he was young. He recovers fast and had a strong metabolism. Presumably, he was weakened by heat due to his fur. It is unknown how skilled he was at using Electro and Sulong, or if he can even use them due to possibly being only half-mink. Given his (most likely) Atelidae mink attribute, he had a strong, prehensile tail that he can grapple foes with.

#### Monk

Chip was a monk and had experience using his natural appendages as weapons. Mechanically, he was a level 11 monk with the Way of the Open Hand subclass.

## **Relationships**

#### Devil's Luck Pirates

Chip was most well acquainted with Duros, Ragnar, and Verona due to them not being imprisoned in crystals during the Avalo Pizarro raid. Due to defending his resort, Chip trusted them enough to give them his banana sword and a business card. As a sign of gratitude, he also gave them a 200% refund.

He later blames them for his downfall from Wealthy resort owner, to dishevelled waiter at Ragbek Steak House. He considers them even for throwing him at Seraph when they rescued him.

Before the campaign, Chip accidentally crashed the ship that the crew were on as the typhoon was created by a malfunctioning wave machine from a resort Chip was working on at the time, killing several people, including Rick.

#### World Government

Chip was a former bounty hunter and later Shichibukai. He does not seem to possess a bounty due to Momonga not arresting him. This seems to indicate that he either had his bounty entirely erased or never had one. Due to him being a Mink, it is probable that in addition to having incredible combat prowess, he was recruited as a symbol of racial unity. Similar to Jimbei for fishmen and merfolk. Given what Rocinante said, the Marines are investigating him for health code and labor violations. After the DLP leave the Crystal Lagoon, the marines cracked down on his business. He sold his business to Ragnar IV for safekeeping, but then the man sent bandits to rob the place, and now Chip has nothing.

#### **Family**

Chip was a member of the Monkey D. family, meaning that he was a distant relative to Garp and Dragon. Tekking theorizes that he is either adopted or the son of Dragon's brother (or something). In the latter case, that would make him a half-mink.

He had a mother who does not approve of a lot of his life choices.

#### Ex-Wives

Chip had had three ex-wives and all of their relationships ended in failure because Chip described all of them as 'lying, stealing whores'. He might have had more wives that didnt divorce him, but instead died.

## **History**

Chip was either born to or adopted by a Monkey D. family member. He was a bounty hunter and then a warlord. He had a friendship with a mouse Mink that fell apart.

Sometime before the story began, he was part of some conspiracy that caused the boat crash in episode 1.

He managed the Crystal Lagoon. He was embroiled in a rivalry with the mouse Mink. After the Marines came in, he had to sell the facility to Ragnar IV, who decided to liquidate it by having robbers steal most of the assets, forcing Chip to leave and wind up working at Ragbek steakhouse. It's interesting that he trusted Ragnar IV in the first place. They might have had some history.

In order to get revenge and improve his station, Chip teamed up with the Devil's Luck Pirates to fight Ragnar IV. After his enemy's death, a fleet of Blue Blood's ships bombarded the island. During their getaway to the train, William saw Seraph approaching. Although she was not aware of the group or even approaching them, William used his Renshu Renshu powers to throw Chip at her.

After this happened, Seraph immediately beat him with her cross shaped manriki and then stomped on him with her foot. It was unknown what happened to him after that, but William conjectured that he would just be back to take out his revenge on them. Pearl next saw him in chains in Seraph's territory.

After his capture, Jelly was torturing him in the bowels of the Tower of God. He wanted Chip to join, but Chip wanted to see the contract first. After this session of torture was interrupted by the Devil's Luck Pirates, and Jelly was routed, Chip agreed to help them take on Seraph. Although, this was only because all other options to him were less appealing.

After being possessed by William and then shot by Seraph's light, he was transported to Limbo, where he lost in mortal combat to Rick, resulting him being revealed to have had some part in his death when Rick resurrected.

## **Trivia**

* Given his flattened nose, he would most likely be a New World monkey (Platyrrhini) mink, and given his prehensile tail, he would be some form of Atelidae monkey. He is most likely a Geoffrey's spider monkey mink.
* He is technically the first player character to die. In that he was Rustage's player character for Movie 1, and was not some alternate timeline or puppet version of a player character. Since he didn't shift out of Rustage's control, he arguably did not stop being a PC.

## **Quotes**

"I've been divorced three times, and I've never called my wives bitches. There were lying, stealing, whores!"

"William! How could you do that to me!?"
