Chapter 380: Drum Island

Drum Island is not very far from Loguetown, but ordinary ships can only take a detour.

There is no way around it. Without a Seastone ship bottom and a steam power system, ordinary ships simply cannot cross the Calm Belt. They can only take a detour through Reverse Mountain to reach the Grand Line, and then head to Drum Island, and they have to choose the right route.

Generally speaking, pirate crews coming to the Grand Line for the first time don't have a Log Pose, and there are seven routes in the first half. Once you choose one, you have to go all the way to the end.

*Holy Light*.

Karl and Ain were comfortably leaning on lounge chairs, enjoying the sunbathing, while Tashigi was focused on maintaining *Shigure*.

Nelson walked quickly to Karl's side and whispered: "Vice Admiral Karl, there is an iron ship at the nine o'clock direction, flying a pirate flag, but the Navy Headquarters has no record of it. According to my speculation, it should be a pirate crew that just went to sea. Should we capture them?"

Karl took off his sunglasses and looked at Nelson: "How far is it to Drum Island?"

"About an hour's journey by sea."

"Then I'll leave it to you. You don't need me to take action, right?"

Nelson said confidently: "Rest assured, Vice Admiral Karl, I guarantee the mission will be completed."

"It's not good, Your Majesty the King, the Navy is charging toward us. What should we do?"

The corpulent Wapol said disdainfully: "So what if it's the Navy? I am the king of a World Government member country. I paid the money."

"But... King Wapol, we are the Bliking Pirates now!"

*Bang, bang, bang! *

Following a series of explosions, Wapol roared in panic: "Dive quickly!"

"It's too late, the Navy is already here!"

It didn't take much effort for the Bliking Pirates to be declared wiped out, and Wapol and his few subordinates were sent in front of Karl.

"You say you are the king of Drum Island?"

"That's right. Don't you know to let me go yet? Otherwise, I will definitely report you!"

Karl smiled contemptuously: "How bold, actually daring to impersonate the king of a World Government member country? That's a crime on top of a crime! Nelson, lock him in the prison and send him to Impel Down!"

Wapol's face changed. He didn't expect Karl to be so disrespectful, so he hurriedly changed his attitude, saying obsequiously: "I'm sorry, I was joking, but I really am the king of the Drum Kingdom."

Afterward, Wapol began to talk about his experiences from a while ago.

After the Blackbeard Pirates invaded Drum Island, Wapol knew he couldn't beat them, so he took the high-level officials of the country and abandoned all the people, being the first to flee the country and come to the sea.

Because they didn't carry a "Log Pose" when they fled in a panic, Wapol and the others had to drift on the sea flying a fake pirate flag, calling themselves the "Bliking Pirates." Wapol was obsessed with returning to Drum Island to continue enjoying the rights of a king, so he had been wandering on the sea.

Then he met Karl. Afraid that Karl wouldn't believe him, Wapol opened his mouth wide and took out a document from his body proving his status as a king recognized by the World Government.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, as a king, actually being the first to abandon your subjects, you really are a good king!"

Wapol saw that Karl's attitude had softened a bit, so he said brazenly: "Thanks for the compliment. Who told me to be a king? Everyone in the Drum Kingdom can die, but I cannot die."

Ain on the side was so angry she laughed, and Karl was also a bit dumbfounded.

"Throw him into the sea."

"Yes!"

Wapol was stunned and shouted loudly: "Hey, what are you doing? I am... damn it, actually daring to look down on this king, I swallow!"

Wapol opened his mouth exaggeratedly, biting toward Nelson. Just as he was about to swallow Nelson, Nelson kicked Wapol's crotch.

!!!!

"Aaaaaah! It hurts so much! You XXXX, ********"

Wapol clutched his crotch and rolled on the ground, emitting bursts of wails.

Nelson snorted coldly and quickly handcuffed Wapol using Seastone handcuffs.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Once the Seastone handcuffs were on, Wapol immediately wilted, his whole body limp. Nelson called a few people to help, and only then was Wapol lifted up. After all, this guy was quite fat.

"Don't, don't kill me. As long as you don't kill me, I will give you all my money!"

Nelson sneered: "Fool, if I kill you, your money is ours too!"

Wapol: Is this the Navy?

"1, 2, 3, hey!"

*Splash*, Wapol was thrown directly into the sea, kicking up sprays of water. As a fruit user, Wapol had only one ending.

"Vice Admiral, it's done. I just heard this guy say he has a lot of money."

"Go take people to search his ship. Don't let go of anything of value."

"Yes!"

After Nelson took people away, Karl turned his gaze toward the doctor in white on the side.

"Are you Wapol's doctors?"

The doctors looked at each other, and finally, an older doctor stood out.

"No, we can no longer be considered doctors. We were just Wapol's tools for accumulating wealth."

"Were you coerced by him?"

"That's right. Six years ago, Wapol implemented the 'Doctor Eradication' plan in the Drum Kingdom, expelling almost all the doctors in the country, leaving only us 20 people."

Hmm, Karl rubbed his chin: "Then what are your plans next?"

"Return to Drum Island and become a real doctor."

Ain pulled Karl's arm, signaling Karl not to make things difficult for them. Karl gave Ain a reassuring look.

"I am Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Karl. I happen to be heading to the Drum Kingdom, so you can come with me."

"Thank you, thank you, Vice Admiral Karl." "You, you are the Navy Hero Karl?"

The doctor who recognized Karl as the Navy Hero looked relatively young. *Hmm*, young but already balding.

"Vice Admiral Karl, I read in the newspaper before that you are a Holy Light fruit user. No matter how seriously injured or how seriously ill someone is, as long as you release Holy Light, you can heal them. Is this true?"

Karl smiled slightly: "It is true. But in this world, I am the only one who possesses this ability. Don't worry about me stealing your jobs."

After Nelson moved all of Wapol's family fortune away, the *Holy Light* continued to head toward the Drum Kingdom. Soon, they arrived.

Drum Island, named because the mountain peaks on the island are shaped like drums. Of course, this place is also known as Winter Island, because it is winter all year round here. Looking around, it is all white.

The doctors on the ship were a bit excited. After drifting with Wapol for so many days, they had finally returned.

"This is Drum Island? It looks so cold." ===== CHAPTER 382 =====
