Arrival at Drum Island!

"Hey! I just happened to arrive at this bustling Drum Island?" Haku, standing on the Ark, looked at the island being pulled closer and closer in the distance.

"Lively?" Kalifa couldn't help but look towards Drum Island in the distance. She understood what Haku's abnormally powerful Observation Haki was seeing.

On Drum Island, just as Wapol and his men were about to attack Dalton, who had been injured while protecting the villagers!

An avalanche that was rushing in from not far away instantly buried everyone!

"It was quite a spectacle," Haku said with a smile as she watched the avalanche burying people.

The Ark flew at an extremely high speed, heading towards Drum Castle with almost no delay!

Luffy, who was still struggling to climb the mountain from the foot of the mountain, sensed something and glanced at the now empty mountaintop.

Sanji noticed his captain's unusual behavior and asked, "Luffy, did you see something?"

Luffy straightened his hat and said, "No, let's continue up the mountain!"

Muramasa, who was speechless because of Ryujin Jakka's recklessness, had already re-entered the castle, but not long after, Muramasa reappeared at the castle gate amidst Ryujin Jakka's shouts.

"Master! Master!" Ryujin Jakka cheered incessantly as the Ark slowly descended. For him, nothing was more important than seeing his Master!

Compared to Ryujin Jakka's excited expression, Kalifa and the marines on the Ark looked at Ryujin Jakka below with suspicion.

They were wondering why this person was calling their Admiral"Master" so excitedly.

Could it be...?

Just as these people were filling in the blanks with their imaginations, Ryujin Jakka, seizing the opportunity, leaped directly onto the deck of the Ark from below!

He quickly ran to Haku, then instantly transformed back to his original form and remained where he was!

Since the other crew members on the Ark were unaware of this Ryujin Jakka materialized in Alabasta last time!

This scene stunned Kalifa and the marines who were watching Haku's movements!

No one expected that the lively man from just now was actually Haku's personal dagger.

"What... what's going on?" Kalifa stared wide-eyed at Ryujin Jakka in disbelief.

Haku didn't explain; he walked up to Ryujin Jakka and took the Zanpakuto back into his own hands!

Haku flicked the scabbard with her finger and said, "You brat, don't think I don't know about the avalanche you caused that almost buried Luffy. I'll settle the score with you later!"

After the Ark landed, a man wearing a white coat and with heavy eyeshadow appeared next to Haku!

Haku glanced at Muramasa beside her and said, "You've worked hard. Now you should get some rest!"

Muramasa nodded, understanding Haku's meaning, and then vanished from the spot!

"So, what should we do now?" Kalifa asked, looking at Drum Castle beside them.

Upon hearing this, Haku involuntarily turned her head towards Luffy's direction.

Luffy and Sanji were locked in combat with Wapol and his crew, who were chasing after them!

Wapol's two henchmen are always being despicable, attacking Luffy and Sanji while simultaneously targeting Nami, who is being carried on Luffy's back!

"Damn those two bastards! How dare they attack a patient!" Sanji cursed as he fought Wapol's men with his feet.

Luffy's eyes were also filled with anger at this moment, every time he tried to run towards the mountain!

There are always arrows lurking behind him, ready to strike Nami!

"Hahahaha! Straw Hat Kid, you have no chance of escaping!" Wapol laughed incessantly, as if embarrassing his opponent was a very pleasant thing!

"Damn it!" If Luffy hadn't been protecting Nami behind him, he wouldn't be so restrained right now!

Haku shook her head as she watched this scene. A bolt of Inazuma struck down from the sky, instantly killing Wapol's henchman who liked to ambush with arrows!

"You brat, I'll do you a favor this time!" With that Haku led her marines toward Drum Castle.

As for Wapol and his other subordinate, Haku believes Luffy can handle them on his own!

As dusk began to fall, Kureha, who had been wandering around the foot of the mountain seeking medical treatment, was riding a sled pulled by Chopper, approaching Drum Castle!

When Kureha saw the Ark moored outside the castle, she knew that many guests had already arrived in the city!

"Doctor Dorei, I think I smell a lot of strangers!" Chopper became nervous because of the smells of many people in the castle. He even shrunk down and hid behind Kureha!

Chopper has an exceptionally sensitive nose; he can smell people from afar—it's one of his innate abilities. Kureha chuckled and patted Chopper's head; she knew Chopper's sensory abilities were incredibly powerful.

"Yes, Chopper, it seems there are quite a few new faces in this city," Kureha said. "But that's alright, I think these people should be looking for those two young men!"

After Kureha finished speaking, she walked towards the castle!

Chopper nodded, reminded by Kureha that there had been two very powerful individuals in the castle these past two days!

Kureha was quite surprised when they arrived at the castle gate!

The floor inside the castle, which had been freezing due to the door not closing properly, was now completely clean!

Moreover, even though the castle gates weren't closed, Kureha didn't feel the slightest chill in her body after entering the castle!

Chopper sniffed his nose, a look of pure bliss spreading across his face.

It slowly walked towards the direction from which it smelled the fragrance, and even Kureha couldn't help but smile!

She followed behind Chopper, and they were heading towards the kitchen in Drum Castle!

Kureha and Chopper followed the scent through the streets of Drum Castle and arrived at the castle's kitchen. When they entered, they were stunned by what they saw. The once messy kitchen had been neatly organized, with all kinds of ingredients and cooking utensils arranged in an orderly manner. In the center of the kitchen, a tall chef was busily cooking a delicious meal.

The chef's culinary skills looked superb; his knife work was practiced and swift, and each dish was cooked to perfection, looking and smelling delicious. Kureha and Chopper couldn't help but drool as they looked at the food.

The chef noticed their arrival and greeted Kureha and Chopper with a smile, "You must be Dr. Kureha and Dr. Chopper, who have been taking care of Waka and Muramasa these past few days!"
