Drum Island
On the winter island of Drum the crew seeks a doctor for the sick Nami. Amid Wapol's tyranny and Dr. Hiluluk's legacy, Luffy convinces the reindeer-doctor Tony Tony Chopper to set sail with them.
Leaving Whisky Peak and Little Garden, with Nami gravely ill the crew seeks a doctor and lands on the winter island of Drum. The country has been abandoned by the vile king Wapol, who fled at Whitebeard's arrival; the only doctor is the eccentric centenarian Kureha, helped by the talking reindeer Tony Tony Chopper. Amid the memory of Dr. Hiluluk — who died believing one truly dies only when forgotten — Luffy scales the castle, repels Wapol's return and convinces Chopper, shunned as a 'monster', to set sail as ship's doctor.
