Drum Island part 12
Nami: *We’ve got to get Vivi home! I’ve spent enough time resting. Doctorine doesn’t seem to be around so maybe I can slip away without her noticing.*
*Nami leaves the room and into the snow covered main hall. Wapol sees her.*
Nami: The coast is clear!
Wapol: Mahahahaha!
Nami: What the?! Who’s he?
Wapol: Well, well, another Straw Hat I presume?
Nami: *Uh Oh! He doesn’t look friendly!* Huh?! “Straw Hat?!” What’s that mean?! I’m sorry sir, but I don’t know what you’re talking about!
Wapol: What?! I was wrong?!
Nami: Yes, I’m just a traveler who’s passing through and I’m actually on my way out!
Wapol: Oh, I see.
Nami: Nice talking to you, see ya!
Wapol: Bye.
*Nami walks away, but Wapol climbs up to the second floor balcony.*
Wapol: Liar!
Nami: Aaaaaahhhhh!
*She runs away as Wapol chases after her.*
Wapol: The king of the country commands you to stop!
Nami: Get away from me, you creep!
Wapol: Mahahahaha-
*Nami runs down some stairs, but when Wapol tries to chase her, he gets stuck in the opening.*
Wapol: I must’ve gained weight recently. Well I can fix that. Munch munch factory!
*Wapol begins to swallow up his entire body.*
Nami: What is he?!
*He continues eating himself until only his bottom jaw is left, which allows him to go down the stairs.*
Nami: He turned into a bucket?
Wapol: My miraculous bone structure shaping technique is now complete!
*He then pops out after reshaping his body into a skinnier and taller version of himself.*
Wapol: Lean and mean! I’m hungry…
*He chases after Nami again and is able to tackle her to the floor.*
Wapol: Time to gobble you up, Straw Hat. Mahahahaha-
Luffy: Found you!
*Luffy stretches his leg and kicks Wapol in the face.*
Luffy: Hey, that’s funny. Wasn’t that guy a big fatso before?
*Nami angrily hits Luffy on the head.*
Nami: So… Do you mind telling me why the coat I kindly loaned you is all torn up before I murder you?
*Luffy realizes Nami’s coat is ruined.*
Nami: Do you have any idea how much I paid for that thing?! $110! And that was after haggling!
Luffy: Hey, I didn’t do it! That loud mouth over there did! It’s not my fault he shot a cannon at me!
Nami: Ok. Then in that case, Luffy, I guess I can forgive you. To be honest, I should’ve known you wouldn't have brought it back in good condition when I let you borrow it. You can just pay me back at my usual 300% interest. Which comes down to 330.
Luffy: Ah! You should’ve said! I never would’ve taken it then!
Nami: Hehehehe…
Wapol: Hello, I’m still here!
Luffy: Oh, that’s right. I still gotta kick your butt.
*Wapol stands in front of a large door.*
Wapol: Ha, I’ll be the one doing the butt kicking! Behind me lies this castle’s arsenal and I’m the only one who has the key to it! Inside its walls are some of the most fearsome weapons known to man! All I need to do is devour them, Straw Hats! Then my munch munch shock will make them part of my body and you’ll be forced to face a fearsome living weapon the likes have never seen! The two of you don’t stand a chance! Mahahahaha! I hope you’re ready to die, Straw Hats, because I’m going- Hey.
*He notices the key to the arsenal room is not on his belt.*
Wapol: Aaaaahhhh… This isn’t over!
*He runs away.*
Luffy: Hey, he’s getting away! Come back!
*Wapol runs up a flight of spiral stairs that ascends up to the castle with Luffy chasing him.*
Wapol: At least I have another trump card!
*Nami holds the key to the arsenal room that she took off Wapol.*
Nami: This must be the key to the arsenal room he was yapping about. Jeez, why couldn’t have been the key to the castle’s treasure vault? Oh man.
Sanji: Nami my love!
*Sanji crawls towards Nami.*
Sanji: Thank heavens! I’m glad you’re safe!
*Morbius follows him, also crawling on the floor.*
Morbius: Where’d that fat tin can go!?
Nami: Guys, what happened? Why are you crawling? Are you ok?
Morbius: Oh, you're all better now?
Sanji: I’m great now that I’ve seen you, Nami dear! But there are two things that’ll make me feel even better! If I just rest my head on your warm belly!
Nami: No way!
*She pushes his head face first into the snow.*
Sanji: Pretty please?
Morbius: Dude, just stop… So where’s Luffy?
Luffy: Run all you want, you can’t get away from me, you stupid loud mouth!
*Luffy continues chasing Wapol up through the upper levels of the castle. Which is filled knee deep snow.*
Wapol: The upper levels are full of snow too?! Trash my castle and defy my orders will they? They won’t get away with this, it’s time I taught those insubordinates a lesson! A painful lesson!
*He reaches a large door and opens it to enter a room that’s also filled with snow. In the center, a large sheet covers something.*
Wapol: To do so, I’ll use the ultimate weapon of the entire drum kingdom!
*He removes it to reveal a massive seven barrier cannon.*
Wapol: My devastating lethal ten ton royal crown seven barrel cannon! Mahahahaha!
*Luffy follows him into the room.*
Luffy: Oh yeah?! Well I got you cornered!
Wapol: On the contrary, rubber man. Time to die!
*He pulls the lever that activates the cannon and attempts to shoot Luffy but nothing happens. He tries over and over to turn the cannon on but it doesn’t work, shocking him. A couple of snow birds come out of one of the barrels.*
Wapol: Huh…?
Luffy: Snow birds, cool! Hahahahahaha!
Wapol: Stop it! How dare you laugh at me! Shut up!
*The villagers find a massive rope tied around Kureha’s treehouse that leads up to the top of the mountain.*
Villager 1: I have to admit I was skeptical when I heard about this ropeway to the castle.
Villager 2: But here it is like the young man told us.
Villager 3: This place looks familiar. Didn’t it used to be Dr. Kureha’s house?
*A group of villagers led by Dalton, along with Zoro, Usopp and Vivi, ride on a tram that climbs up the rope way.*
Zoro: Great view from this thing, huh?
Usopp: Yeah, but isn’t it the tiniest bit overcrowded?
Villager 1: We can’t let Dalton go alone when he’s injured. We’ll fight alongside him.
Usopp: Ok, I get it. But we’re so overcrowded it’ll take forever to get there. You, you’ve got to pedal faster!
Vivi: Dalton, please just relax.
*Flashback, Wapol defeats Dalton after morphing his body into several different weapons.*
Dalton: Wapol…
Wapol: Who do you think you are, Dalton?! There’s no medicine that can cure fools, you say?! Did you call me, the king, a fool?! What, you think you’re some hero that speaks for the lowly subjects of my kingdom? Don’t make me laugh! You’re just a servant!
*Dalton is thrown into a prison cell.*
Wapol: A week in this cell will give you plenty of time to reflect on your mistake, there’s nothing like prison to change a man’s attitude! And in case that doesn’t work, I’m gonna have that rebellious streak beaten out of you! Mahahahaha!
*Kuromarimo beats up Dalton.*
Kuromarimo: You’re an excellent guard the citizens trust. Don’t be a fool. Apologize to the king and show him respect, Dalton.
*Chess beats up Dalton.*
Chess: That dead Doctor Hiriluk was an idiot. I can’t believe you fell for all his nonsense. Risking your status and insulting the king, have you lost your mind, Dalton?!
Wapol: I’ll grant you a full pardon, Dalton. All you have to do is get on your knees and say the following: “I’m so sorry, oh great king Wapol! You always know what’s right for this country!” Mahahahahaha!
*Flashback end*
Dalton: To hell with status! To hell with the king!
Wapol: You dare mock me too?! Stupid bird! I’m the king of Drum!
*He attempts to eat one of the snowbirds, but Luffy grabs his face.*
Luffy: Yeah, so what? It doesn’t matter if you’re a king. Or even a god! It doesn’t matter if you’re someone who’s great or someone who's not so great. I’m still gonna kick your lousy butt!
Wapol: It does matter, Straw Hat. Drum Kingdom is a member of the world government, don’t you know what that means?! It means this is a capital offense because I’m the king!
Luffy: Like I said, big mouth, it doesn’t matter! King or not, I’m taking you down!
Wapol: Oh really? But not if I take you down first, Straw Hat!
*Wapol opens his mouth wide to try and eat Luffy, but he stretches his fingers around it.*
Luffy: That won’t work!
Wapol: But this will! Munch munch shock! Tongue cannon!
*Wapol’s tongue transforms into a cannon that aims itself at Luffy.*
Luffy: Ah! His tongue turned into a cannon!
Wapol: Goodbye!
*He shoots at Luffy.*
*Dalton collapses.*
Vivi: Dalton! Someone help lift him! Can you hear me?! Dalton! Say something, please! You can’t die, you just can’t! Dalton, please!
Dalton: I’m ok…
Vivi: Please don’t die!
Dalton: I won’t… I can’t! Not until I put an end to Wapol and what he’s done to this country!
*Flashback*
Chess: “A government should care about its country and its people.” You mean you weren’t joking? That’s what you really think, Dalton? Please, a government doesn’t need to have a heart.
Kuromarimo: That’s right. It just needs to control the people.
*Wapol raids a doctor’s home while he’s treating a patient.*
Doctor: What’re you doing?! Unhand me! Stop it! Let me go! You can’t do this! I have patients who will die if I don’t treat them!
Wapol: Throw him in the ocean! If he resists, you have my permission to shoot him!
Doctor: No, think of my patients, at least! They’re the ones who are going to suffer! Don’t do this!
*Flashback end*
Dalton: To hell with controlling the country… I’ll show them what happens to a country that doesn’t have a heart!
*Dalton pulls out a string of dynamite from his coat.*
Villager 2: Dynamite?!
Dalton: Everyone listen. Once we arrive, take cover. Because once I’m inside, there’ll be explosions.
*Chopper sees one of the castle towers explode.*
Kureha: Chopper, are you worried about your friend?
Chopper: No, Doctorine, not at all. Know why? Cause he’s a pirate
*A hole is blown through the wall of the tower.*
Wapol: Mahahahahaha! That idiot, he let his guard down! Mahahahaha!
*But Luffy jumps down from behind him.*
Luffy: Well, look who’s talking!
*While holding onto Wapol, Luffy repeatedly twists his torso vertically around his hips before grasping them with his feet and then rapidly untwisting.*
Wapol: Hey, what are you doing?! No stop!
Luffy: Gum gum bow gun!
*This creates a snapback that sends Wapol flying upwards, crashing through the roof of the castle. He then gets stuck on the roof.*
Chopper: Doctorine…
Kureha: It certainly seems like it’s finally over. The long nightmare has reached its end.
Chopper: It’s end…
*Luffy climbs to the top of the roof.*
Wapol: Aaaahhh!
Luffy: I told ya to not mess with that flag! Now I’m finally gonna kick your butt!
Wapol: Aaaaaahhhh!
*Luffy stretches his arms back.*
Wapol: Wait a minute, hold on! I’ll give you a great position!
Luffy: Gum gum…
Villager 4: Look, there’s something going on at the top of the castle!
Chopper: Doctor… This kingdom… Drum Kingdom, it’s…
Wapol: Fiiiine! I’ll make you vice king!
Chopper: It’s about to fall!
Luffy:… bazooka!
*Luffy then performs a double palm strike that sends Wapol flying through the air and away from the island. Finally putting an end to his reign of terror forever.*
Kureha: So ultimately, the Drum Kingdom was defeated by skull and crossbones. Heeheeheehee!
*The gondola reaches the top of the mountain.*
Usopp: Everybody wait here! I’ll brave whatever dangers lie ahead and let you know when it’s safe!
*Zoro walks past him, angering Usopp.*
Usopp: I’m going first!
*But Usopp instead hides behind him.*
Zoro: Hey, what are you doing?
Usppp: Just watching your back.
Zoro: Hiding behind it is more like it. Why did you even come if you're so scared?
Usopp: Scared?! Don’t be ridiculous! I always laugh at the face of danger!
*They see Luffy flying straight towards them.*
Usopp: Mommy!
Zoro: Luffy!
Luffy: Zoro? Usopp?
*He crashes into them. Vivi finds them.*
Luffy: Hahahahaha!
Zoro: Why’d you do that, you moron?!
Luffy: I didn’t recognize you at first. I thought you were more of big mouth’s guards coming to fight. I’m really surprised you guys came all the way up here. Well, not you, Zoro. But you, Usopp. Aren’t you normally scared of doing stuff like climbing mountains?
Usopp: Hahahahaha! Yeah right! Whenever there’s a towering peak in front of me, I get to climbing! But let me tell you, scaling that mountain by hand was no picnic!
Vivi: Actually, we took a ropeway car up here, Luffy. Nami, Sanji and Morbius, are they alright?
Luffy: Yeah, they’re all just fine!
Vivi: Thank goodness!
Usopp: Well, let me tell you! Taking that ropeway was no easy picnic! I’ll tell you why! A fishy condor swooped in and grabbed it-
Zoro: So what were you doing on top of the castle a few minutes ago?
Luffy: Beating the crap out of the king.
*Dalton overhears what Luffy said.*
Dalton: You mean that person I saw flying through the air was actually Wapol?! You- You beat him?!
Luffy: Yup, I sure did.
Dalton: And his two henchmen, what happened to them?
Luffy: Oh, well the reindeer beat them up.
Dalton: What those two… A reindeer?
Usopp: And once again, Captain Usopp-
Luffy: Oh, hey, Usopp! I made a new friend and you gotta meet him! Get this, he’s a reindeer!
Usopp: A reindeer?
Dalton: A reindeer… *Could it be?*
*Dalton sees Chopper hide behind a tree but he’s exposed.*
Dalton: It is you… Blue nose, you never gave up… Did you? You still kept fighting, believing in what this country could become.
*Dalton gets down on his knees and bows to the reindeer.*
Dalton: And now thanks to you, Drum Kingdom… it can finally be reborn…
*The villagers arrive and see Chopper.*
Villager 1: What is that strange creature behind the tree?!
Villager 2: It almost looks like a reindeer!
Villager 3: No, it’s a monster!
Dalton: No, don’t shoot him!
Usopp: Aaaaaahhh! It’s a yeti! Somebody shoot it!
*Chopper panics and runs away.*
Luffy: You jerkface!
*Luffy gets mad at Usopp and punches him.*
Luffy: He’s not a yeti, you idiot! He’s my new friend!
Usopp: That thing’s your friend?!
Luffy: And now you scared him so bad he ran away! I’ll bring him back so you can meet him, you jerks.
*Luffy chases after Chopper.*
Luffy: Come back, Reindeer, I wanna introduce you to my friends! Stop running for a second!
Chopper: No!
Luffy: My friends want to meet you!
Chopper: They want to shoot me!
Luffy: That’s cause they don’t know you yet! Hey, slow down, where are you going?! My friends are back that way, don’t you want to meet them?! They’re not so bad! Come back and meet my friends!
Chopper: With friends like yours I don’t need enemies!
