[edit] Appearance
Woop Slap has a cleft chin, wears oval glasses, and has a mustache and a beard. During his younger days, his facial hair is medium-amounted and black, but currently they have grown enough to become a thick mustache and a goatee, as well as turning grayish-white. He wears simple clothes and a hat that changes with his appearance, but they are similar to each other. He currently wields a walking cane from old age.
[edit] Personality
His criticism of the most infamous member of the village, seems to come more from the fact Woop Slap is an authority figure himself, thus he finds Luffy and by extension, his father, waging war on the World Government as absurd. Regardless of thinking that Luffy's choice in piracy would bring shame to the village and criticizes it from time to time, he does care for those from his village, as he questioned about Luffy's well-being. He seems to be a nice and well-liked person within his own village, as he managed to maintain his position as mayor for at least ten years.
[edit] Relationships
[edit] Monkey D. Luffy
Although Woop Slap often criticizes Monkey D. Luffy's choice to become a pirate and his growing infamy, he seems to actually care for his well-being, such as when he pleaded for Higuma to spare Luffy's life when he was a young boy. He believed that Luffy is better than the choice of his nakama who became infamous with him, referring to them as "freaks". Woop Slap knows of how Luffy was born and his origin.[3][2] Woop Slap also questioned Garp on what happened to Luffy after the war, worrying about the boy's safety.
[edit] Monkey D. Garp
He is familiar with Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp and his family (including Dragon, who little people knew about until recently), stating how he thinks all three generations of Garp's family are crazy. He also knows about Garp leaving his grandsons at the care of Curly Dadan, a mountain bandit boss, something that only he and Makino in the village knew about.[3] Regardless, they seem to be close friends, as the mayor questioned on how Luffy was upon Garp's return.
[edit] Makino
Woop Slap seems to talk to Makino often about Luffy as she appears to be the only one in the village willing to listen to him.
[edit] Dadan
He appears to be fully aware and on something of good terms with Dadan, as he was the first one to mention her existence by wondering if Dadan knows about the Enies Lobby incident.
[edit] History
[edit] Shiki's Breakout
Twenty years ago, Woop Slap appears to be wearing a Rastafarian hat and talking with Makino about Garp.
[edit] Run-in with Higuma
Ten years ago, Woop Slap objected Luffy's choice of being a pirate, saying it would bring shame to their village, but was the first person to stick up for Luffy during his tussle with Higuma. When Luffy later left the village as a beginner pirate, the mayor once again voiced his objections.
[edit] Luffy's First Bounty
After Luffy received his first bounty of 
30,000,000 for defeating East Blue's most fearsome pirates — Buggy, Don Krieg, and Arlong — and the newspaper report got to Fuusha Village, Woop Slap tried to stop the citizens from cheering, seeing that this infamy will bring shame to their village, but noted that Luffy's first high act is perhaps due to fate.
[edit] Enies Lobby Incident
After Luffy and his crew attacked Enies Lobby and earning his third bounty of 300,000,000, Woop Slap claimed that Luffy's crew, who all each have their own bounties, are freaks compared to Luffy himself. He also questioned if Dadan knows about Luffy's challenge to Enies Lobby.
[edit] After the Whitebeard War
After the war between the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates, the news had reported that Portgas D. Ace and Edward Newgate have both died, and Luffy's whereabouts are unknown (he has hidden away in Amazon Lily after Trafalgar Law saved him with his submarine). When Garp returned to the village to put up protection against the rise of pirates due to the war's results, Woop Slap asks the Vice Admiral about Luffy, and remained expressionless when received an answer.
[edit] Trivia
- Woop Slap makes a cameo appearance in One Piece: Grand Battle 3 in the story mode ending for Shanks when Rockstar delivers a letter to the wrong Whitebeard.
