Chew can spit water out of his mouth as if it were a bullet. He later fights with the apparently-outmatched Usopp, but he is ultimately beaten after Usopp wears him down by running away and setting him on fire, before repeatedly hitting him over his head with his Usopp Hammer to knock him out.

[edit] History

[edit] Past Story

In Hatchan's Sea-Floor Stroll, it's revealed that Hatchan, along with Chew and Kuroobi, planned to open a takoyaki store when they were younger. At some point, they had given up this dream to become pirates with the man equal amongst the Fishmen to Jimbei, Arlong.

Then 8 years before the Storyline, Arlong and his pirates split away from Jimbei's group. Then took over Nami's village, killing Bellemere in the process.

[edit] Destruction of Arlong Park

As one of Arlong's officers, Chew aids Hachi and Kuroobi in defeating the contingent of marines from Naval Base 77. When Luffy and his crew appear at Arlong Park, Chew challenges Usopp, who runs away in terror. When Chew threatens the Coco villagers, however, Usopp declares that he is Chew's opponent, and attacks him with his Fire Star. When Chew turns to fight him, Usopp runs again. The ensuing fight is shown partially off panel; when Sanji and Zoro have finished their own fights, Usopp is seen lying in what appears to be a pool of blood, later revealed to be Ketchup. Chew begins to leave, believing he has won. Usopp plans to lie to the crew about his battle, but becomes ashamed of his own cowardice, and once again challenges Chew. Chew easily deflects Usopp's next Fire Star attack and punches Usopp, pinning him down. Usopp then strikes Chew's leg with his hammer, then uses his Rubber Band of Doom to distract Chew while he hides in the woods. Chew attacks by blasting the trees with water projectiles. Eventually Usopp defeats Chew by splattering him with booze, then igniting the liquid with his Fire Star. Chew attempts to flee to the water to put the flames out, but Usopp completely defeats him by whacking him in the head with his hammer until he passes out.

[edit] Translation and Dub Issues

Chew's name by Oda.

In the featurette: Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King his name is written as 'Chew'. His name was also written by Oda as "Chew" in the One Piece Red: Grand Characters data book. However it is common for fans to say the similar Japanese word 'Chuu'. In the English versions, his name is spelt as "Choo".

In both the Japanese version and the FUNimation dub, Chew has a habit of saying "chu" (an onomatopoeic kissing-noise) after each sentence. In the Viz Manga, "chu" is translated as "smeck". In the 4Kids dub, he doesn't add any kissing-noises to the ends of his sentences.
