Personality
Chip is an atypically cruel, manipulative, greedy mink. He runs a resort in which employees are not allowed breaks, overcharges on many things, and takes advantage of his employees criminal history to manipulate brainwash them into wearing mascot costumes. 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.

Overview
Chip is a former warlord and currently owns the Crystal Lagoon resort. He has 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 has a strong metabolism. Presumably, he is weakened by heat due to his fur. It is unknown how skilled he is at using Electro and Sulong. Given his (most likely) Atelidae mink attribute, he has a strong, prehensile tail that he can grapple foes with.

Monk
Chip is a monk and has experience using his natural appendages as weapons. he is a way of the open hand monk, but he is at least 7th level due to having evasion. Alternatively, he could be a 5th level monk/7th level rogue multiclass due to having stunning strike.

Devil's Luck Pirates
Chip is most well acquinted 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.

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.

Family
Chip is a member of the Monkey D. family, meaning that he is 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.

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. Currently in the story, he manages the Crystal Lagoon. He is currently embroiled in a rivalry with the mouse Mink.

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.

•There are various parallels between Chip and Joe Exotic:

-Both were notable for their achievements in law enforcement, Chip being a warlord and Joe Exotic being a sheriff at age 19.

-Both employed people with criminal history and used that criminal history to trap them in a cult like environment.

-Both ran entertainment based locations in the middle of nowhere that had various healthcode and safety violations.

-Both have an archenemy operating the same business.

-Each of their archenemies are notable for being litigious over copyright and will eventually own their place of business.

-A lot of people used a crystalline substance at their facilities.
