Movie
Description
Musshuru serves as the older brother of Wapol and a secondary antagonist in the ninth One Piece film, *Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura*. Created by Eiichiro Oda exclusively for this non-canonical movie, he exists as an original character within the reimagined Drum Island narrative.
Tall and thin, Musshuru contrasts physically with his stout brother. His distinctive appearance includes pink hair shaped like a mushroom cap, a face mask obscuring his eyes, a black beard, and regal armor complemented by a violet cape, shoulder pads, orange pants, fluffy shoes, and a weasel-skin scarf. This design intentionally echoes fungal motifs.
He displays a cruel, arrogant, and battle-hungry personality, mocking adversaries such as Chopper and showing no remorse for poisoning allies Chess and Kuromarimo with his spores. His speech patterns feature the unusual term "Kabayarou" (meaning "Hippo-head") and sentence-ending "oi," accompanied by a unique "Mushushushu" laughter.
Musshuru wields the Paramecia-class Noko Noko no Mi (Shroom-Shroom Fruit), enabling him to generate and control toxic spores. These spores can be lethal in sufficient quantities, threatening Drum Island's entire population. He deploys them through diverse combat techniques, though some attacks utilize non-poisonous variants. Fire and a specific antidote counter the spores effectively. Musshuru also demonstrates exceptional physical prowess, combining destructive strength capable of shattering castle spires with speed rivaling the CP9's Soru technique.
Years before the film's events, Drum Island exiled Musshuru to the Land of Fire following an incident involving uncontrolled spore release, where volcanic conditions nullified his powers. When the Blackbeard Pirates invaded Drum, Wapol recruited Musshuru to reclaim the kingdom while secretly plotting to use the spores to exterminate Drum's populace and replace them with loyal soldiers.
During the film, Musshuru joins Wapol's assault on Drum Castle. After incapacitating Chess and Kuromarimo with his own spores mid-battle, he confronts Monkey D. Luffy. Initially dominating through speed and poison, he overpowers both Luffy and Chopper until Usopp ignites him with a projectile, allowing Robin to administer the antidote to Luffy. A Gear Second-enhanced Luffy defeats him with Jet Bazooka. Wapol then consumes Musshuru and a cannon, fusing into a hybrid form to fire a poison bomb. This plan fails when the Straw Hats destroy the bomb, and Luffy launches the fused entity off the island with Gigant Pistol. Franky incinerates residual spores using his Fresh Fire technique.
Musshuru makes a brief non-speaking cameo in the canonical film *One Piece: Stampede* (2019), appearing among Pirates Festival participants alongside Wapol.
