Drum Island part 5
*Luffy, Sanji and Morbius run away as an avalanche caused by the Lamaphns’ jumping makes snow slide down the mountain and is heading towards them.*
Sanji: Damn those stupid overgrown bunnies, I’m gonna kill them!
Morbius: But not if we don’t get buried in a hundred feet of snow!
Luffy: What are we supposed to do?! How do we get away from all this snow?!
Sanji: I have no clue! All I know is the first priority is Nami, the second priority is Nami, and the third priority is Nami! Got that, Luffy?! Protect her even if it kills you!
Luffy: Got it! But how do I do that?!
Morbius: It’s getting closer!
*Sanji spots a small cliff.*
Sanji: Over there! Head for that cliff!
Luffy: Why?!
Sanji: Just run, we need to get as high up as we can!
Luffy: Then why can’t Morbius fly and carry us in the air?!
Morbius: I can’t carry all three of you!
Luffy: But you have super strength!
Morbius: Yeah but there's a difference between punching a car really hard and carrying 3 people and creating drag!
*They run towards the cliff. The avalanche gets closer and closer.*
Sanji: It’s coming!
Morbius: Go faster!
*They barely manage to reach the top of the cliff and avoid being swept up in the avalanche.*
Morbius: That was close.
Sanji: We made it just in time-
*But the snow begins to reach them.*
Sanji: Oh, no! We aren’t high up enough, guys!
Morbius: That’s the last time I follow you-
*They get knocked off the cliff by the snow.*
*In another town.*
Villager 1: It’s Wapol! Wapol and his men have come back to the island!
Villager 2: What, they have?!
Villager 3: Dalton headed up to Big Horn to meet them. Anyone who can fight, grab a weapon and head to Big Horn!
Villager 4: Hurry everyone, get your weapons and head for Big Horn! Follow Dalton to Big Horn!
Villager 5: Follow Dalton all the way!
*All around the island, the citizens of the different towns on Drum Island gather weapons and prepare to head to Big Horn to fight Wapol.*
*Usopp and Vivi ride the sleigh to Gyasta to find Dr. Kureha.*
Usopp: Hey, Vivi. Are you sure we’re going the right direction to get to this Gyasta where the witch is?
Vivi: Now that you mention it, I’m not exactly sure where we’re going.
Usopp: But we’re in pretty bad shape if you’re not sure. You know, if Luffy, Sanji and Morbius manage to make it to the castle and the doctor isn’t there they’ll just turn around and leave. We have to make it to the place, tell the doctor to go back up the mountain. Nami is running out of time really quickly.
Vivi: Yes, I realize that, Usopp.
Usopp: Well, if you do realize that, do something about it. You’re a princess, right?
Vivi: What does that have to do anything? I can’t snap my fingers and make it happen. I’m a princess, not a witch.
Usopp: So what?
Vivi: Oh, fine. Why don’t you go ahead and take a look at the map.
Usopp: Don’t be ridiculous! What am I supposed to do with that? There’s snow covering everything!
Vivi: So, then you don’t know either.
Usopp: Yup! I don’t know anything either!
Vivi: You’re proud of that fact? At any rate, if we keep to this route, we should see a sign to this Gyasta place somewhere along here. Keep your eyes open.
Usopp: Sure thing! Just leave it to me! I’ll watch for signs for the sign! There’s no way I’ll miss it!
*Unfortunately, they pass right by a snow covered sign that points the way to Gyasta.*
*At Big Horn, Wapol consumes several houses within the village. The villagers hide from him and his soldiers.*
Wapol: That was delicious! Listen closely, citizens. Anything in this country can be made into my snack if I want it to be! Because I am a great man! Do you know why I’m great? Kurimario, explain to them the reason.
Kuromario: Of course. You’re the greatest man in this country because you are the king, your highness.
Wapol: That’s right! Exactly right! So if I want to eat a house, I expect it to be served to my liking!
Soldiers: Yes, sir!
Kuromario: Wapol, sir, I have some information for you.
Wapol: What now?
Kuromario: I have received a report that some of the Straw Hat brats very inconsiderately set out to the castle after they arrived, your highness.
Wapol: What?! Why’d they do that?
Kuriomario: It appears they took a sick woman up the mountain to see a doctor.
Wapol: What?! Really? That was a dumb idea! No one lives there now, especially a doctor. Mahahahahaha!
Kuromario: Ah, well, I heard that Dr. Kureha also very inconsiderately is currently living in Drum Castle. She’s a crazy old hag.
Wapol: What did you say?! That woman is living in my castle?! How dare she mock me in such a way! Kick her out! I’ll eat her up along with Straw Hat! That’ll show them! Men, we’re going back to the castle!
Soldiers: Yes, sir!
*Dalton arrives having transformed back into a human.*
Dalton: I don’t think so!
*He then slashes Wapol with a large spade.*
Kuromario: Who was that?!
*Wapol rolls around in the ground in pain.*
Wapol: Ow! He cut me! I’m gonna die!
Soldier 1: It’s Dalton!
Dalton: I came to see you dead. So that really suits me just fine.
Chess: Dalton, you bastard! It’s a shame that you’re still alive!
Kuromario: You just injured your own king!
Dalton: He shouldn’t be difficult to fix. After all, we live in a well advanced medical nation with over two dozen qualified doctors to service his every need.
Kuromario: Yeah, that’s right! 20 MDs Emergency Medical Unit, prepare! Heal him!
*The 20 MDs heal Wapol of his injuries.*
Wapol: Wow, I was sure I was gonna die for a minute there!
Dalton: This is a perfect example of our situation. You receive all the medical attention you could possibly need while your citizens have to suffer without a doctor. It’s wrong!
Wapol: It’s wrong?! Show some respect! I am still your king, Dalton!
Kuromario: He’s right! You’ll shit your mouth if you know what’s good for ya.
Chess: The three of us including you were in the highest position among Wapol’s men. We are his loyal servants or have you forgot?
Dalton: I haven’t forgotten. It’s true while you were making our people suffer, all I could do was stand there as Wapol’s men and watch as you ruin our country. I have to accept responsibility for that. So Wapol, let’s leave this country together. We can’t stay in the land we betrayed any longer.
Villager 1: No, Dalton! No way! You didn’t do anything wrong!
Villager 2: He’s right! You’re the only one in the government who tries to protect us! You’re the only one who fought for us while he was destroying the kingdom!
Villager 3: You stood up for us!
Wapol: Ha, you should’ve died, Dalton! And your post as captain of the Drum Island Security Guard! I don’t know how you all survived in this country without any doctors.
Dalto: Our country is internationally acknowledged for its development in medicine. But that renown is nothing more than a cheap charade. No one could have guess there were actually 20 doctors shut up doing research in the king’s own lab. And that all the other doctors have been exiled, leaving its citizens to suffer.
Wapol: Yes! Anyone who gets sick or injured must come and beg for their life if they want help! And if I feel like it, maybe I’ll lend the 20 MDs’ services. If they want to stay alive and healthy, all they have to do is obey me! Their king! This way no one will ever dare challenge my rule! And that is the perfect way to govern a country!
Dalton: This isn’t real governing, Wapol, and you aren’t a real king!
Wapol: Well, you certainly speak your mind, Dalton. Now kill him! I want you to shoot your former captain!
Dalton: As usual, you don’t understand a thing I’m saying.
*Dalton transforms into a human bison hybrid.*
Dalton: I served your father before you and he was always a good man and a good ruler! I hoped you’d come to resemble him one day but now I see that was a lot of wishful thinking!
Soldier 2: No good! He’s using the ox ox fruit!
Soldier 3: He’s in his bison form!
*Dalton charges head on towards Wapol and his forces.*
Soldier 4: Don’t back down, fire!
*They shoot at Dalton but he uses his enhanced speed to avoid the bullets.*
Soldier 5: We can’t hit him! He just dodges!
Dalton: No mercy! Even to my ex soldiers! Fiddle bam!
*Dalton slashes several soldiers with his spade.*
Soldier 6: Amazing! He’s so powerful! So this is the kind of power the Zoan type devil fruit will give?
Dalton: Enough! I’ve had enough of you so called rulers! There can be no hope where the king and his men are the first ones to abandon their people during a time of crisis!
Kuromario: Let’s see how well you do fighting against the two of us.
Chess: Just give up.
Villager 4: Dalton!
*Several villagers from another town charge into Big Horn to fight alongside Dalton against Wapol.*
Villager 5: We’ve come to help you!
Villager 6: Please, let us fight with you!
Villager 7: Were going to protect our country!
Chess: Remember, I’ve known you a long time.
*Chess pulls out some arrows and aims them with his bow.*
Chess: And I know you well.
Dalton: No, don’t!
Chess: I know what your weaknesses are.
*He fires the arrows that the villagers, but Dalton uses himself to shield them. Injuring himself greatly.*
Villager 4: Oh, no!
Villager 5: Why did you shield us from that shot?
Villager 6: Dalton!
Villager 7: Not Dalton!
*Dalton does his best to stand up.*
Villager 8: Are you alright?!
Chess: I told you I know what your weak spot was. Nice guys always finish last.
Wapol: Quite the fitting death, huh, boys?! Mahahahahaha!
*Dalton collapses on the ground. But everyone feels the earth beneath them shake.*
Villager 4: What’s that?
Wapol: Is that an earthquake?
*Usopp and Vivi’s sleigh gets stuck in such large levels of snow.*
Usopp: This doesn’t look good. We won’t be able to go further in this deep snow.
Vivi: It seems we’ve gone partially up the mountain.
*They begin to feel the island shake.*
Vivi: What’s this? Why’s the ground shaking? Oh no, Usopp! Is this what I think it is?!
Usopp: An… avalanche…?!
*Zoro does one hand standing push ups on a river bank.*
Zoro: 25,632. 25,633.
*He feels the ground shake.*
Zoro: What’s going on? What’s all that rumbling?
*The avalanche is heading his way.*
Zoro: Aaahhh! 25,6-
*He gets swept up in the snow.*
*Luffy flies throw the air after being knocked away by the snow while Sanji and Morbius are swept up as it falls down the mountain.*
Morbius: I’m gonna kill those rabbits if it’s the last thing I do!
Luffy: This isn’t good! Now what?!
*He sees several trees sliding down with the snow.*
Luffy: Oh, right! I know!
*Sanji and Morbius continue being swept up in the snow as it descends. But Luffy jumps onto a tree and rides it.*
Luffy: Sanji! Morbius! Grab on!
*He stretches his arm and they both grab onto it, pulling themselves onto the tree with Luffy and Nami.*
Sanji: Thanks for that, Luffy!
Morbius: Yeah, I thought we were goners!
Luffy: Yeah, sure! What now?! Even if we don’t sink in the snow, we’re just gonna keep flying down this mountain if we don’t do something about it!
Sanji: No way! I’m never gonna let that happen! We’ve come all this way and we were almost to the base of the mountain, just a feet away from the doctor! Luffy, you need to come up with a way to stop all this right now!
Morbius: Why are you asking him to do something?! His plans almost never work!
Sanji: It’s all because of those damn bunnies! Next time I see them I’m gonna turn them into a big bowl of stew!
Luffy: Oh, rabbit stew? That sounds good!
*Some Lapahns ride on trees through the avalanche and try to attack them.*
Morbius: You’ve gotta be kidding me!
Luffy: What do we do?!
Sanji: The only thing we can do at the moment! Slide faster!
*They attempt to slide down faster but the Lapahns keep chasing them.*
Sanji: What is their problem?! Seriously?!
*Sanji ducks from a claw strike from a Lapahn.*
Morbius: These things are so damn persistent!
*They keep avoiding attacks from the Lapahns.*
Morbius: Guys!
Sanji: Luffy, look out!
*They see a large rock in front of them.*
Luffy: Ah, a rock! We’re gonna crash!
Sanji: You can’t crash into that thing! You’re the one in charge of keeping Nami safe right now!
Luffy: That’s easy for you to say!
*They get closer and closer to the rock.*
Luffy: We’re gonna crash!
Sanji: Ladies get treated gently…
*Sanji throws Luffy off the tree.*
Sanji: So you take care of her!
Morbius: Get her to the doctor, Luffy!
Luffy: Sanji! Morbius!
*Sanji, Morbius and the Lapahns crash into the rock, getting swept up in the avalanche while Luffy manages to land on the rock.*
Luffy: Sanji! Morbius!
Sanji: They got me good…
Morbius: Damn rabbids…
Luffy: What were you thinking?! Next time you do something like that, warn me!
*Luffy stretches his arm and grabs onto Sanji to pull him up. But only managed to grab his glove.*
Luffy: Aaahhh! Sanji! Morbius! Sanji!!! Morbius!!!
*The avalanche begins heading towards Big Horn.*
Villager 1: It’s coming!
Villager 2: It’s not stopping!
Villager 3: The whole village will be swallowed up!
Villager 4: Get out of here!
*Everyone starts running away from the avalanche.*
Wapol: Where are you going?! Chess, Kuromario! Get on! Robson, serious mode!
*They all get on the wollu hippo, which extends its legs up.*
Wapol: Go!
MD: Wapol, sir! Please! You have to let us ride, too!
Wapol: Get away from there! You can all find your own way out! Robson, hurry! It’s closing in on us!
*Usopp and Vivi abandon the sleigh and run away from the avalanche.*
Usopp: We’ll be alright! We’ll be alright! We’ll be alright! We’ll be alright! I promise, Vivi! Even if we get buried by this, I’ll be able to save you, I’m sure!
Vivi: Luffy and the others headed up in that direction, right? Do you think the avalanche could’ve already gotten to them?!
*Robson runs as fast as he can, carrying Wapol, Chess and Kuromario.*
Kuromario: Aaahhh! We’ve gotta go faster!
*But they get swallowed up in the avalanche.*
*Once the avalanche has ended, Luffy takes off his coat and puts it on Nami.*
Luffy: Nami, I’m sure you’re cold. Just hang in there a little longer.
*He then takes off his hat and rests it on her.*
Luffy: Hang onto this for me. I’ll be right back, ok?
*He then goes off to search for Sanji and Morbius.*
*In Big Horn, Wapol eats his way out of the deep snow. He also spits out Chess and Kuromario, having accidentally eaten them.*
Wapol: Oh, it was you guys in there. No wonder it had such a disgusting taste. I won’t let him get away with this!
Kuromario: Who are you talking about?
Wapol: Them! I’m talking about them of course!
Chess: But who do you mean by “them”?
Wapol: You told me earlier that some of the Straw Hats headed up the mountain toward my castle, isn’t that right? Then this happened! They have a grudge against us! They’re so mad about what happened! So they climbed up there and started an avalanche!
Chess: So, they were the ones who caused it?
Kuromario: Those sinister Straw Hats caused the avalanche?
Wapol: That’s right. Well, boys! Let’s go! We’ll see if those stupid sea loving sailors know anything about fighting in the snow!
*A baby Lapahn tries to dig its parent out of the snow, but is unsuccessful. It sees Luffy carrying Nami, Sanji and Morbius and gets defensive. But Luffy pulls its parent out of the snow and walks away.*
Luffy: I’ll get you there, don’t worry. You just stay alive. All of you.
*Wapol, Chess and Kuromario ride on Robson up the mountain.*
Kuromario: Up there!
Chess: I see the brats up ahead, Wapol, sir!
Wapol: Found you! Now I’ll make you pay, you damn Straw Hat!
*They block Luffy’s path.*
