Royal Drum Crown's 7-Barrel Tin Can King Cannon

The top panel shows a close-up of Wapol's face, looking shocked and angry, as an off-screen voice yells, "HE'S GONE!" The middle panel provides a wide, snowy view of the impressive Drum Castle. Voices from within the castle shout, "NOT HERE!" and "WAPOL'S..." indicating a frantic search is underway. In the bottom panel, the scene shifts to Dr. Kureha and Chopper standing outside in the snow. Kureha, wearing her sunglasses, states matter-of-factly, "HE CAME UP HERE ON HIS WOOLY HIPPO, SO HE CAN'T HAVE GONE DOWN THE MOUNTAIN WITHOUT IT." Chopper stands beside her, his expression serious and contemplative under his large pink hat.

Luffy is shown in the top panel, looking frustrated and angry, with a bandage on his cheek. He mutters, "DAMMIT... WHEN DID HE-" In the background, Dr. Kureha and Sanji are visible. Kureha points out, "IT WAS WHEN YOU WERE BUSY GUSHING OVER THE TRANSFORMATIONS!" In the next panel, Luffy cracks his knuckles, his face set in a determined scowl. "HMPH! I'LL FIND AND FINISH HIM OFF QUICKLY!" he declares. The bottom section is split into several panels. Kureha sighs, "RECKLESS KIDS THESE DAYS..." Sanji suddenly realizes the danger, his face showing panic. "WAIT... DON'T TELL ME HE WENT INSIDE THE CASTLE!? IF SO, THEN NAMI'S IN DANGER!" Sanji immediately starts sprinting towards the castle, yelling furiously, "IF HE LAYS EVEN A FINGER ON NAMI, I'LL KILL HIM A HUNDRED TIMES OVER!" Kureha calls after him, "HEY, STOP RIGHT THERE!" while Chopper watches the commotion silently.

The top panel features a close-up of Wapol's face, his eyes wide with shock and fury. He screams, "WHAT HAPPENED HERE...!?" and "THIS IS MY BEAUTIFUL DRUM CASTLE...!?" The bottom panel reveals the source of his distress: a massive, low-angle shot of the central tower of Drum Castle. The structure is heavily damaged, leaning precariously to one side, with large cracks running up its stone walls. Wapol stands as a small figure in the snow at the base of the ruined tower, looking up in disbelief. He wails, "WHAT DID THEY DO... TO MY BEAUTIFUL CASTLE!?"

In the top right panel, Wapol's face is contorted in a menacing, toothy grin. He growls, "UNACCEPTABLE... I'LL HAVE EVERY LAST ONE OF THEIR HEADS FOR THIS!" To the left, he notices a door creaking open with a "HM?" The middle panel shows Nami cautiously peeking out from behind the door, looking left and right. She thinks to herself, "THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE NAPPING AROUND. I HAVE TO ESCAPE WHILE THE 'DOCTRESS' IS GONE... THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN AFFORD TO STAY HERE FOR 3 WHOLE DAYS!" In the bottom right, Wapol lets out a loud laugh, "MAHAHA!" catching Nami's attention. She turns, startled, asking, "W...WHO ARE YOU?" The final panel shows Wapol looming over her, his wide grin returning as he deduces, "YOU MUST BE ONE OF STRAWHAT'S CREWMATES, AM I RIGHT...!?"

Nami immediately goes on the defensive in the top panel. Sweating and waving her hands frantically, she denies everything: "N-N-NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT! I DON'T HAVE THE FAINTEST IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" Internally, she panics, "HE'S DEFINITELY AN ENEMY...!" The middle panels show a brief, tense exchange. Wapol leans in, questioning, "HUH? REALLY. REALLY?" Nami turns her back and starts to walk away casually, saying, "I'M JUST A RANDOM NAVIGATOR PASSING BY. BYE THEN!" Wapol watches her retreat, replying simply, "SURE..." However, in the large bottom panel, Wapol suddenly drops the act and roars, "LIAR!" at the top of his lungs. Nami screams "KYAAAAAAA!" in terror and breaks into a desperate sprint away from him, leaving a trail of dust in her wake.

Nami is shown running frantically down a stone corridor in the top panel, panting heavily. "GAH! NGHHH! SEEMS I MUST'VE PUT ON A FEW TOO MANY POUNDS RECENTLY!" she complains as she crashes through a wooden door. In the middle panel, Wapol prepares his attack. His jaw unhinges, opening his mouth to an impossible, massive size. "THEN HOW ABOUT THIS!" he shouts. The bottom sequence shows Wapol's bizarre Devil Fruit power in action. He declares, "I'LL EAT MYSELF!" and proceeds to chomp down on his own legs. He continues to consume his own body, making loud crunching sounds. Nami looks back over her shoulder, her face pale with shock, exclaiming, "WHAT!?" Wapol's voice rings out, "BAKU BAKU FACTORY!"

In the top panel, Nami watches in utter disbelief as Wapol finishes consuming himself. He has transformed into a strange, cylindrical, bucket-like shape that lands on the stone floor with a heavy thud. Nami sweats, muttering, "HE... HE'S BECOME A BUCKET..." The middle panel shows the bucket shape beginning to shift and transform, accompanied by a loud "COMPLETE!" sound effect. Nami looks on, visibly disgusted. A caption box reads, "MIRACULOUS BONE STRUCTURING OPERATION..." The large bottom panel reveals the result of the transformation. Wapol bursts forth from the smoke, but his appearance has drastically changed. He is now incredibly tall and thin, his previously round body stretched out. He strikes a pose and announces, "SLIM-UP WAPOL!"

The top right panel shows a close-up of the newly slimmed-down Wapol's face, his eyes narrowed menacingly. "YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME!" he threatens. On the left, Nami is seen running desperately down the hallway, glancing back in terror. The middle panel depicts Wapol giving chase. His new, slender form allows him to move with surprising speed, his long legs eating up the distance. In the bottom panel, Wapol catches up to Nami. He grabs her roughly from behind, throwing her to the ground. Nami cries out "AGH!" as she hits the floor with a loud "THUD!" Wapol stands over her, laughing sadistically, "MAHAHAHA! I'LL START BY KILLING YOU!"

The page opens with a massive, dynamic action shot. Just as Wapol is about to attack Nami, Luffy's leg stretches into the frame from the left, delivering a powerful, stretching kick directly to Wapol's face. The impact is huge, and Wapol screams "NUGAHHH!" as he is sent flying backward. Luffy's voice shouts, "FOUND YA!" The bottom panel shows the aftermath. Wapol crashes hard into the stone wall of the corridor. Luffy stands protectively near Nami, who is sitting on the floor, recovering from her fall. Sanji runs into the scene from behind Luffy, yelling "AHH!" upon seeing the situation. Luffy looks at the crumpled form of Wapol and asks in confusion, "HUH? WAS HE ALWAYS THAT SKINNY?"

In the top left panel, Nami taps Luffy on the shoulder. She asks with a forced smile, "LUFFY... MIND EXPLAINING TO ME WHY MY JACKET IS NOW SLEEVELESS...?" Luffy looks nervous, sweating slightly. A small flashback panel shows Luffy getting hit by a cannonball earlier, which destroyed the sleeves of the coat he was wearing. Nami's smile turns menacing in the middle left panel. "I'LL FORGIVE YOU... AFTER ALL, WHEN I AGREED TO LEND YOU THAT JACKET, I DIDN'T THINK I'D ACTUALLY GET IT BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION." Luffy bows his head, apologizing frantically, "SORRY, SORRY! THAT GUY JUST FIRED A CANNON AT ME SO..." Nami dismisses his excuse, "WHATEVER. I HAD TO PAY 28,800 BERI! AND THAT WAS ITS DISCOUNTED PRICE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT JACKET COSTS!?" In the bottom right, Nami points a finger at Luffy, her eyes turning into beri symbols. "OF COURSE, YOU'LL STILL HAVE TO PAY ME BACK BY PAYING 3 TIMES THE PRICE. BUT SINCE THE NUMBERS MIGHT BE A BIT HARD TO REMEMBER, WHY DON'T WE CALL IT AN EVEN 100 GRAND, OKAY?" Luffy's jaw drops in shock. Sanji yells at Nami, "WHAAA! Y-YOU PLANNED THIS ALL ALONG, DIDN'T YOU!?" In the background, Wapol gets back on his feet, laughing, "MAHAHAHA! THAT'S ENOUGH, YOU HIPPOS!" Sanji mutters, "UGH, HE SURE CAN TAKE A HIT..."

Wapol stands confidently in front of a large, heavy metal door secured with a prominent lock. He announces, "THIS HERE IS THE ROYAL ARMOURY AND I ALONE POSSESS THE KEY TO IT! INSIDE ARE LETHAL AND FEARSOME WEAPONS OF ALL TYPES!" In the middle panel, Wapol holds up his hand, intending to show the key. "AND I'LL DEVOUR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, AND USE MY BAKU BAKU SHOCK, TO TRANSFORM MY ENTIRE SELF INTO A LIVING HUMAN WEAPON!" Luffy and Nami watch him, unimpressed. The bottom panel shows Wapol thrusting his hand forward to unlock the door, declaring, "NOW BEHOLD! AS I UNLOCK THE DOOR TO YOUR DOOMS WITH THIS K..." He suddenly stops, looking down at his empty hand in shock. "IT'S GONE!" he realizes. Luffy and Nami continue to stare at him with blank expressions.

The top panel shows a moment of awkward silence. Wapol, Luffy, and Nami stand frozen, Wapol staring at his empty hand in disbelief. In the middle panel, Wapol suddenly turns and sprints away, tears streaming down his face. "I'M NOT GIVING UP YET! I STILL HAVE ONE OTHER PLAN!" he cries. Luffy immediately gives chase, yelling, "STOP RUNNING AWAY!" Sanji, arriving on the scene, asks, "NAMI, ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" The bottom panel reveals what happened to the key. Nami holds it up, examining it with a disappointed expression. "OH... IT'S JUST A KEY TO THE ARMOURY? SHOOT... I WAS HOPING IT'D BE A KEY TO HIS TREASURY INSTEAD... HOW BORING."

Luffy is in hot pursuit of Wapol. The top panel shows both of them running up a long, steep, winding stone staircase inside the castle. Both are panting heavily, with "HUFF HUFF" sound effects surrounding them. In the middle panel, Wapol reaches the top of the stairs and bursts through a wooden door, stepping out into the freezing air. "NGH!" he grunts. The bottom panel shows Wapol looking around the snow-covered rooftop of the castle. He curses his luck, "DAMN IT! EVEN THE UPPER FLOORS ARE ALL COVERED WITH SNOW!" From down below, Luffy's voice echoes up the stairs, yelling, "STOOOP!"

Wapol stands on the snowy roof, his expression turning to one of desperate determination. "THOSE WRETCHED VERMIN...! I HAVE TO SHOW THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL THE TRUE MIGHT OF A KING! THE STRENGTH OF MY KINGDOM!" he declares. He approaches a large mound of snow and pulls a lever or uncovers something hidden beneath it, muttering, "DRUM KINGDOM'S FINAL WEAPON..." The bottom panel reveals a massive piece of artillery emerging from the snow. It's a huge, multi-barreled cannon with a crown-like design on top. Wapol stands proudly beside it as large text announces the weapon's name: "ROYAL DRUM CROWN'S 7-BARREL TIN CAN KING CANNON!"

Luffy bursts onto the snowy rooftop in the top panel, sliding to a halt. He points aggressively at Wapol, shouting, "I'VE CORNERED YOU AT LAST! GET READY TO HAVE YOUR ASS KICKED!" In the middle panel, Wapol grins maniacally from behind the massive cannon, his hand on the firing mechanism. "I SHOULD BE SAYING THAT TO YOU! DIEEE!" he screams. Luffy looks shocked, bracing for the impact. The large bottom panel shows Wapol pulling the trigger. However, instead of a massive explosion, the giant cannon only lets out a pathetic little "PUFF...!" sound. A tiny cloud of smoke escapes from one of the barrels. Luffy stands there, completely confused, uttering a simple, "HM?"

The top panels focus on Wapol's reaction. His eyes bug out of his head in utter disbelief as the cannon continues to make weak "pasu pasu" sounds instead of firing. He stares at the weapon, completely dumbfounded. The middle panel shows a wider view of the cannon. Suddenly, a small bird pops its head out of one of the large barrels, chirping happily. Luffy watches, saying, "AH." In the bottom panels, Wapol screams in outrage, "A BIRD'S NEST...!?" Luffy, on the other hand, smiles brightly and points at the bird. "IT'S A SNOWBIRD!" he says cheerfully, while the bird continues to chirp from its makeshift home inside the cannon.

Wapol is absolutely furious in the top panel. He yells at the small bird sitting on his cannon, "HOW DARE YOU DEFILE MY WEAPON! DON'T YOU REALIZE YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE KING OF DRUM ISLAND? I'M THE KING!" The middle panel shows Luffy taking action. He stretches his arm far back, preparing a powerful punch, his face set in a fierce scowl. "IT'S TIME TO END THIS!" he declares. The bottom panels show Wapol looking terrified as he realizes what's coming. Luffy glares at him with intense determination, delivering his final verdict: "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A KING OR A GOD, THAT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS...! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW GREAT OR LOW YOU ARE EITHER!"

The scene shifts briefly back to the ground level outside the castle. In the top panel, Chopper stands alone in the snow, looking up towards the roof. He murmurs, "DOCTRESS..." The middle panel shows Chopper recalling a memory. An image of Dr. Kureha smiling gently appears as Chopper remembers her words. "HE CALLED ME... HIS FRIEND..." he thinks. The bottom panel cuts back to the roof, featuring a large, intense close-up of Luffy's face. He is grinning widely, full of confidence and resolve, his fist clenched and ready to strike Wapol. He finishes his previous statement with a powerful declaration: "YOU KNOW WHY? 'CAUSE I'M A PIRATE!"
