"And there's still so much more than that out there." Luffy said with a grin. "So come Cho-" Luffy stopped talking and sat there quietly with his hat shadowing his eyes. "Huh?" Chopper said. "What's wrong?"
"We've got company." Luffy said as he stood up and started walking.
"Company?" Chopper asked before his eyes widened and his fur stood on end. 'That scent!' he thought before running off in his walk point.
-Back with Nami's group-
Everyone had listened to Kureha's story about Chopper's past as she finished. All of them were quiet as they let all of that sink in.
"Now that you know, do you think you can heal the wound in his heart?" Kureha asked before Chopper burst through the door.
"Doctorine!" Chopper yelled. "Wapol's back!" "Is that so?" Kureha said.
"Where's Luffy?" Nami asked.
"Huh?" Chopper said. "He was walking towards the entrance."
-Outside the castle-
Luffy was outside waiting as Wapol and his men appeared on top of the mountain and in front of the castle.
"MAHAHAHAHA! Drum Castle! As amazing as it was when I left!" Wapol laughed. "Time to retake my throne!" he said Chess noticed something on top of the castle.
"Lord Wapol! Up on top of the castle!" Chess said. Wapol looked up to see a pirate flag with cherry blossoms on it waving in the wind on top of the castle.
"What?! Where's Drum Kingdom's flag?!" Wapol demanded.
"I've already burned that rag." Kureha said as she walked outside the castle with Chopper next to her. Sanji and Greg joined as well with bored looks on their faces.
"Oh, these losers again." Sanji said before spotting Luffy leaning against the wall.
"Dr. Kureha!" Wapol shouted. "The last doctor in my doctor hunt! Now I can finally be rid of you!"
"Drum Kingdom's dead!" Kureha said as she grinned at Wapol. "There's been too much suffering and misery under your rule. Now leave."
"Drum Kingdom dead?!" Wapol said before laughing. "MAHAHAHA! Don't make me laugh! The only death around here will be yours! And that goes for those annoying Straw Hats next to you!"
"You know this guy?" Kureha asked as she lifted her glasses and looked at Luffy's group.
"Something like that." Sanji said as he lit up a cigarette. "He was some stupid pirate that ambushed us out at sea. Didn't do much since our Captain sent him flying almost immediately."
"Don't ignore us!" Chess shouted.
"Now, to reclaim my throne!" Wapol said before laughing as he stared up at his castle, not noticing Luffy had appeared in front of him and punch him in the face.
"WAPOL-SAMA!" Chess and Kuromarimo shouted as they dove after Wapol and grabbed his legs before he fell off the mountain.
"That...was close." Wapol said as the others stared at what happened.
"I didn't even see him move." Kureha said in actual surprise as Chopper gapped at Luffy.
"Bout time someone shut that moron up." Greg said.
"How dare you!" Kuromarimo shouted. "Have you the slightest idea of who it is you just attacked?!"
"This isn't just some commoner!" Chess shouted. "This man is Wapol! The King of Drum Island! Shame on you for striking him, you Straw Hat bastard!" he shouted before mumbling under his breath. "Wait. That sounds familiar."
"Who cares?" Luffy said in a calm tone. "People like him make me sick!"
"NOW I REMEMBER!" Chess shouted just as Wapol shouted and got back up.
"Remember what Chess?" Wapol seethed as he glared at Luffy.
"I told you before Wapol-sama that I read about him from somewhere! Now I remember why!" Chess yelled as he pointed a finger a Luffy. "That kid was the one who attacked the Goa Kingdom of Dawn Island!" This got everyone's attention except for Sanji, who'd already of this before. "You're right!" Kuromarimo said. "In newspapers identified him as the culprit!"

"So that's it huh?!" Wapol asked with a grin. "You like going around and attacking royalty huh?"
"I didn't even touch them." Luffy said. "I broke in, stole their food, and broke out. The only that got attacked were the guards that tried to stop me."
"Then why would the paper say you attacked them?!" Chess shouted, thinking that Luffy was lying. Luffy grinned under his hat before looking at them.
"Because I told them that they can't hide behind the World Government forever." he said. "After I become the Pirate King, I'm gonna tear the World Government apart." Silence filled the area the wind blew before Wapol started laughing.
"MAHAHAHAHA! It's so funny I can't stop laughing!" he said before Luffy kicked him in the gut, sending him flying back and slamming into Robson, who went flying off until he was a star in the sky.
'Wonder if it flew another farther then last time.' Luffy thought as he looked out into the sky.
"Why you little-" Kuromarimo said as he lunged at Luffy with spikes sticking out of the afros on his hands while Chess shot a flaming arrow at him. They're attacks hit him dead on as they smiled while the others shouted out in worry, only for them all to stare in wonder, or horror, that Luffy was fine while the arrow and spikes broke.
"What are you doing?" Luffy asked as they backed away.
"That's it." Wapol said as he got up. "Now I'm pissed!"
"Wapol-sama!" the two henchmen said as Wapol stood up and spat out some blood.
"Now I'm gonna show you the true power of my Munch Munch fruit!" -In a lift heading for Drum Castle-
The rest of the Straw Hats, along with Dalton and some villagers, were slowly ascending up the mountain.
"I really hope that Nami and Grace got to the doctor in time." Vivi said in worry.
"Me too." Nojiko said as she sat down with her knees to her chest.
"Don't worry." Usopp said. "I bet that by the time we get up there, they'll be healthier than they were before they became ill." Vivi just looked at him before he continued. "We just gotta trust Luffy." he said with a smile. Vivi looked at them all as the Straw Hats, even Nojiko, all smiled back at her.
