| abstract | - Wapol, also known as "Tin Plate" Wapol (ブリキのワポル, Buruki no Waporu), is the ruler of Drum Kingdom on Drum Island. In a demand to gain his people's trust, he exiles the country's doctors and forced citizens to abide to his jarring health plan system: his twenty doctors would offer their service only if they paid the absurd price for treatments. Six years before the main story begins, Wapol was partly responsible for causing Hiruluk's defiant suicide. Learning that Blackbeard was going to attack his kingdom, Wapol callously fled from his throne with a handful of his subordinates. He became the leader of the Bliking Pirates. Years later Wapol returns to Drum Island in the vain attempt to reclaim his throne. As he devastates the shores of his home Luffy and company prevent his return to his castle. They defy his tyranny by boldly placing Hiruluk's flag atop its tower. Each time Wapol tries to shoot the flag down, Luffy stands to defend it. Despite Wapol's deceptive tactics Luffy proves to be the victor of their fight, and Wapol is exiled from Drum Island.
