Battle to Defend Drum Kingdom:
-x-
"MAAAA HAHAHAHA!" Wapol laughed as he, Chess, Kuromarimo, and Robson stood out in front of Drum Castle. "I HAVE RETURNED AT LAST! WE SHALL RESTORE DRUM KINGDOM! MAAA HAHAHAHAHA!"
"King Wapol!" Chess called out, "Look, on top of the castle!"
Wapol looked up and saw a black flag flying from the tallest tower. A black flag with a smiling skull and four pink cherry blossoms. It was Hiriluk's pirate flag.
"WHY IS THAT STRANGE FLAG FLYING?" Wapol demanded. "IT'S AN OUTRAGE! WHERE'S THE FLAG OF DRUM KINGDOM?"
"Heeheehee," Dr. Kureha cackled as she and Chopper – in his reindeer form – came walking out the front door of Drum Castle. "That old thing? I burned it!"
"Well Kureha, the last survivor of our doctor hunt, GET OUT OF MY CASTLE!" Wapol hollered.
"This castle is no longer yours Wapol!" Dr. Kureha snapped. "LEAVE! Not just here, the country too! Drum Kingdom has already died out, moron!"
"What's that..." Wapol growled.
"WAIT!" Luffy shouted as he came running out of the Drum Castle, still only wearing his red vest and shorts, "THIS GUY IS MINE!"
Luffy ran at Wapol with his arm out behind him, "GUM... GUM... BULLET!" POW! Luffy slammed his fist into Wapol's face and sent the former king flying.
"AAAAAHHH! WAPOL!" Chess and Kuromarimo shrieked as their king went flying over their heads.
Dr. Kureha and Chopper stared in shock as Wapol crashed to the ground and would've fallen off the peak of Drum Rock if Chess and Kuromarimo hadn't caught him at the last second.
"That... was close," Chess panted as he and Kuromarimo each held one of Wapol's legs as he dangled upside down from the top of Drum Rock. Blood was trickling out of the former king's nose thanks to Luffy's punch.
"I'm really sick of you guys, you know that?" Luffy asked as he stood out in front of Drum Castle while Chess and Kuromarimo pulled Wapol back up. "What's your problem? You were getting in our way even before we got to this island."
"Ugh, not these guys again," Sanji groaned as he and Y/N came walking out the front door and stood beside Chopper and Dr. Kureha, they'd stopped to get coats. Sanji was wearing his short black coat while Y/N was wearing his long one.
Sanji distinctly remembered Wapol eating a large chunk of the Going Merry with his Munch Munch Fruit Powers. Y/N recalled the former king and his men blocking their path to Drum Rock and attacking him while he was holding Nami, Ms. Valentine, and Sanji.
"Last time I ran into you I was worried about protecting my Nakama," Luffy stated. "Now, I DON'T HAVE TO HOLD BACK ANY MORE! SHISHISHI!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Kuromarimo shouted. "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ATTACKED? This is no lowly commoner! This is Wapol, the King and absolute ruler of Drum Kingdom!"
"That's right, show some respect!" Chess scolded them. "He's this country's monarch! How dare you do such a thing to his most excellent of excellencies! For shame!"
WHUP! Luffy reached up and stretched the sides of his mouth then made a face at Wapol and his men, "WHO CARES! HE TICKED ME OFF AGAIN!"
"You know them, boy?" Dr. Kureha inquired.
"I sure do!" Luffy exclaimed. "He's that annoying big-mouthed pirate! He tried to eat my ship! And then he attacked me and my friends! This guy's got it coming to him!"
