-Chapter Eight-

"Last time I ran into you, I couldn't fight because I had to protect my friends" Luffy grinned. "But now, oh, you guys are going to get it" he laughed.

"Are you an idiot or do you not know who you just attacked?" a man with dark skin and an afro frowned. "This isn't just some regular commoner—this is Wapol, the king of Drum Island!" he proclaimed.

"That's right, brat! Show some respect!" a second man snarled, his appearance much larger than the first guy. It didn't take much for them both to then get started in going on and on about their king, praising him and every little thing he's done.

"Who cares? He ticked me off again!" Luffy huffed in response to their praises of the man before childishly grabbing the ends of his cheeks and stretching them as far out while sticking his tongue out in the process.

"That's pretty disturbing to look at, not going to lie" I remarked, winced at the immense pain someone else would have felt if they were to try and mimic the same action he was doing. Truly, there was something off about watching the human body do things it was clearly not meant to do.

"So, I take it you ran into Wapol before, young man?" Kureha inquired as she placed one hand on her hip.

"Yeah, he's that annoying big mouth pirate we ran into!" Luffy angrily huffed.

"What did he do?" she curiously asked.

"He ate part of my ship!" he exclaimed as he now angrily stomped his feet around in the snow, a glare on his face as he talked to the older woman. "And then he attacked me and my friends and this guy has it coming and I'm going to give it to him!" he proclaimed, breathing ragged as a wide grin split its way across his face.

"Okay, but aren't you cold in that outfit?" Sanji suddenly asked as he took notice in how the captain was ill dressed for the current weather.

"Yeah, where's your coat?" I asked with the tilt of my head as I also became aware of the fact that he lacked any warm clothing.

"Huh?" he questioned, brows furrowing in confusion for a moment.

"You know? Cold?"

"You know? The thing that keeps you warm during this type of weather?"

"Hey, wait...did he just say king?" the captain slowly asked in sudden realization. "But I thought he was a pirate..." he mumbled, already looking to be lost in thought.

"Took you long enough!" Sanji snapped.

"That's honestly the first thing that came to his mind from those two questions?" I sweat dropped.

"Ha! So you're disrespectful and have wax in your ears!" the man with the afro laughed as his partner soon piped up and started to drone on about some sort of explanation and reasoning for his king's actions. I didn't really care that much to listen as it didn't really matter to me why someone of royal blood would go off and become a pirate.

"Wow...it's f-freezing out h-here" Luffy shuddered as he now began to rub at his exposed arms as if just finally becoming aware of the chilly air around us.

"You really are an idiot, aren't you?" Sanji irritably asked.

"A bit dense there, aren't we?" I chuckled.

"Yeah, it's fifty below zero" Chopper frowned.

"I think they're ignoring us..." I heard the second guy bitterly mumble to his partner.

"You're awake, sir!" the man with the afro suddenly gasped as a very heavy man slowly stood up and growled in irritation.

"Is that Wapol?" I whispered as I leaned over towards Sanji.

"Yeah, that's the guy" he nodded.

"Straw Hat!" Wapol viciously snapped. "You got some nerve, but now I'm going to chomp you into pieces!" he growled before growing confused once he noticed that the rubber man was nowhere to be seen.

"Um...you're going to have to wait a minute" Sanji said. "He went inside to get a coat."

"Good for him, he's got his priorities straight!" I laughed.

"Idiots! Is this a joke?!" Wapol angrily snapped.

"Tell me, your friend, he can stretch himself? How?" Chopper curiously inquired.

"Oh, that? It's because he's a rubber man" Sanji answered.

"What the heck is that?" the reindeer frowned

"It's a monster!" the blond laughed, a wide smile painting his face. I softly chuckled at the sight, finding the interaction between the two rather adorable as I watched how the gears in the reindeer's head slowly began to turn the longer he processed what he had been told.

"Well, well, it looks like we're up against an old hag, a reindeer, and a few of the Straw Hats" Wapol remarked. "Not much of a challenge, this should be easy enough—and once we defeat them, no one will be full hearty enough to defy me!" he cockily grinned as he crossed his arms.

"Of course, my king, today will be the day you restore Drum Kingdom to its formal glory" one of his men praised.

"I'll start with you Doctor Kureha, you've committed a great offense by moving into my castle and hanging up that horrid flag" Wapol frowned as he turned his attention towards the old woman all while pointing upwards towards the top of the castle. Looking to where he was pointing, I was quick to spot the flag that was flapping around at the top of the castle—it was pure black with a skull and crossbones on it along with a few cheery blossom petals painted right behind the skull.

"It's not yours...not anymore that is, it's Hiruluk's grave" Kureha grinned. "I have no use for this castle because of the wrongs you did, but I thought we could do some rights and the reindeer insisted that we hang the flag up" she explained as Chopper now glared at the three men which caused the king to burst out into a fit of laughter.

"I almost forgot about that old fool!" he laughed before he suddenly grew enraged and started to shout out orders towards his two lackeys—demanding that the flag be removed and burned right this instance.

"I'll never let you touch that flag or even get inside this castle!" Chopper snarled, his body changing from how it looked now into a more bigger, human-shaped form.

"Look, sir...he's that…" one of the men mumbled in shock.

"You're right, it is him" the man with the afro agreed. "He's that Doctor's monster—the one Dalton stopped."

"That flag there represents his faith, and I won't let you take it down! Not now, not ever!" Chopper proclaimed as he glared the three men down with pure and utter hatred.

"We're going to take that flag down, then you guys down, and then we're going to enter the castle!" Wapol mockingly laughed. "Show them no mercy, boys!" he snarled.

"Old lady, are you going to fight too?" Sanji curiously asked.

"Old lady?" I winced as Sanji was harshly hit on top of the head. "If they're more than you can handle then I'll step in" she said as she casually crossed arms and acted like she hadn't just violently assaulted the young man right next to her.

"Appreciate that..." the blond grumbled as he painfully rubbed the top of his head. "Skylar."

"Yeah?" I perked as soon as I heard my name leave his lips.

"Sit this one out, please" he said, his voice rather soft and polite as he spoke carefully as if wanting to make sure that I truly understood what he was asking of me.

"You can't tell me what to do" I sternly frowned as I crossed my arms, watching as his shoulders drooped for but a moment. "But...since you asked so nicely, I'll sit this one out—but don't expect me not to jump in if something goes wrong" I gently smiled which caused him to perk up a little.

"Got it" he firmly nodded before rushing towards the group of men just as Luffy arrived and shot right on past me without any warning.

"Wait...is he wearing Nami's coat?" I questioned after a taking a moment to process what I had just seen. Choking back a laugh, I watched as the rubber man painfully smash into Wapol and sent the heavy man flying right off of his feet.

"Not too shabby" Sanji grinned.

"That was awesome, Luffy!" I cheered with the clap of my hands.

"Thanks, you two—you guys are amazing" Chopper praised with a relieved smile.

"Hey, wait, isn't that Nami's coat you're wearing?!" Sanji frowned the second he noticed the brightly colored coat that the captain now wore.

"Looking good there, Luffy!" I whistled, loudly laughing as the raven-haired man gave me a loud "thank you" in return before turning his attention back towards Wapol.

"Whoa...Big Mouth's still alive, but his hippo went flying to the moon" he whistled in amazement as he ignored Sanji's question from earlier.

"What? What hippo?" I raised an eyebrow, not really remembering seeing a hippo at all this entire time. Perhaps I hadn't been paying close enough attention like Luffy had been or maybe its fur had been the same color as the snow that coated this island and my eyes had simply disregarded it to instead focus on the bright colors of everyone else's clothing.

"Hey! Take that off right now!" Sanji angrily demanded as he grabbed at the coat the captain wore and began to yank on it—trying his damnedest to remove it from Luffy's body.

"Wapol, sir! Are you alright?!" the man with the afro worriedly asked.

"We underestimated them, they're too strong!" the other man harshly glared.

"Then it's time to bring out the big guns—and my bigger appetite!" Wapol suddenly shouted. "I'll show them the true power of the Munch Munch Fruit! That's right, I'll show them the Munch Munch Factory!" he angrily huffed as he sat right up.

"Whoa! He sat up!" Luffy exclaimed in slight awe as if amazed that someone of the king's size could sit up so easily after harshly being knocked down.

"Yeah, but how?" Sanji asked. "You hit him pretty hard" he pointed out.

"Maybe that armor he's wearing is made from really good metals" I suggested.

"That or he's just tough" Luffy said, sounding quite unsure of himself as he furrowed his brows in confusion. Quickly did we clamp our mouths shut as we were all soon struck with awe the moment one of the man started to suddenly read off a list of things that the king had recently eaten after being ordered to. "Whoa, and I thought I ate a lot" the captain sweat dropped.

"You do, but this dude's bigger" Sanji pointed out.

"I'm so not sure that's it" I disagreed

"Oh? How so?" the blond curiously questioned.

"I think it might be more because Luffy has people that try to limit him and stop him from eating as much as he wants while that guy can just do whatever he wants it seems seeing how he's a king" I explained. "But what I'm wondering is how his body can even handle eating half of these things listed—shouldn't his stomach hate him by now?" I asked.

"I can't argue with you there" he nodded in agreement as he winced after taking a moment to really process some of the thing's this king had eaten in the last few days.

"You see, Straw Hat, whatever I eat becomes a part of my body—that's the power of the Munch Munch Fruit!" Wapol boasted as he now wore the face of a mad man.

"What's happening?" Chopper nervously asked.
