Interesting you'd say that, Carnage....

I'm not sure if I would say that's necessarily so, since Chopper's monster form goes in a blind rage, and he ultimately kills himself, but it would make sense for Chopper to awaken during his mini arc. I had already suspected that all the strawhats would get a power upgrade during their mini arcs, since Nami landed on a weather island and Franky landed on a futuristic technology island.
