Powers & Abilities Chopper's Rumble Balls force users to activate Awakening

[CoC: Color of Clowns]

Luffy as a Zoan has shown multiple forms, including Gear 4 Boundman, Tankman, and Snakeman. He first went through these forms that changed his body shape and how it functioned, before ending up in a full Awakening that made him somewhat change personality.

Where have we seen this before? Chopper.

Chopper's Rumble Balls in the Pre Time Skip allowed him to change form at will when he eats one, be able to change form but without control after eating two, and turn into Monster Point if the ate 3.

OG Monster Point made Chopper become a reckless, mindless monster, like the Awakened Impel Down Beasts. By Vegapunk's definition, he was functioning as an Awakened Zoan who lost his mind.

After the time skip, Chopper gained full control over his original forms, plus... heh... Kung Fu Point... and made it so he only needed to eat one Rumble Ball to enter a controlled Monster Point.

Therefore, it looks like the next step is Chopper gaining natural control over Monster Point. This still leaves some other questions, though:

If an Awakened Chopper, already in Monster Point, eats a Rumble Ball... what happens?

What if Gear 5 Luffy ate a Rumble Ball?

Hopefully, Vegapunk and Chopper discuss this in depth.

Chopper's real awakening.

I want to be a real boy!!!

If Chopper just turned into a human randomly I'd scream. What the fuck would he even look like? Ugh, no one ask Oda to draw it, I know he'd draw something cursed...

If Awakened Chopper eats a Rumble Ball, he will turn into a mythical reindeer.

If Luffy eats it, he might unlock a new G5 form Idk.

I talked about this before, after gear 5 was revealed. After awakening was revealed I was certain chopper's monster point was his forced awakening.

Monster point is Chopper's awakening which he achieved prematurely thanks to science, but since zoan fruits have a will of their own and chopper's mind and body was unprepared (according to Kaido's explanation both body and mind need to be prepared for awakening) he went berserk and he almost died. After the timeskip Chopper trained his mind to control the will of the fruit but his body still couldn't handle it so he still needed a rumble ball to transform and there was a time limit and afterwards he couldn't even move. After pushing himself even further during the war, he turned into an old man, which is the same thing that happened to Luffy after pushing himself. Franky going Berserk while he was in choppers body was another indication about how strong the fruit's will is and the mental preparation needed to control it.
