Following Dalton's gaze, they saw a man in the distance who was obese, ugly, with dark purple hair, a large mouth, and a cylindrical tin plate attached to his chin.
At this moment, he was opening his enormous mouth and biting into the surrounding houses, swallowing all the debris into his stomach.
After finishing his meal, he couldn't help but let out a satisfied burp.
"Houses taste better after they've been baked!"
Then he stood on a hippopotamus and shouted, "Everything in this country belongs to me! I can do whatever I want! You all must submit to my rule! Hahahaha..."
Upon hearing all this, Dalton could no longer contain himself and immediately ran towards Wapol, transforming into a bison midway.
"Hmm? Dalton is also Devil Fruit User?" Sanji asked curiously.
A moment later, Dalton arrived in front of Wapol and shouted, " Wapol!"
"Huh? Who's calling me?"
Wapol turned his head with some curiosity, and what came into view was a strange blade.
"Tear!"
The sound of flesh tearing apart, mixed with Wapol's agonizing screams, terrified Wapol subordinates, who cried out in fear, "Lord Wapol!"
One of the men with the afro glared angrily at Dalton and said, " Dalton, what are you doing? How dare you hurt Lord Wapol!"
"I'm protecting this country!" Dalton said with a resolute look in his eyes.
"Damn it!" Chess, with his large, wavy lips, glared angrily at Dalton, then shouted to the side, " Isshi-20!"
As the announcement of "Surgery begins" rang out, a large group of people dressed as doctors came out. Working together, they quickly treated Wapol's injuries.
In an instant, Wapol sat up straight, as if he had learned Luffy's sit-up technique.
"Oh dear, I thought I was going to die!"
After realizing what had happened, Wapol glared angrily at Dalton and said, " Dalton, how dare you do this to me? Have you forgotten that you are my subordinate?"
"It hasn't been like that for a long time!" Dalton replied calmly.
"That was no longer the case from the moment you abandoned the kingdom out of fear of pirates!"
"So what if you abandoned the kingdom? Are your lives more important than mine? You should be proud that you traded your lives for my chance to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Dalton instantly flew into a rage.
" Wapol! Is this something a king should say? Because you were the son of the former king who had been kind to me, I always thought you would come to your senses, but now it seems... that's impossible!"
Dalton held his weapon level before him, looked at Wapol, and said, word by word, "I will drive you out of this country!"
"Tch! Anyone can talk big, right? Dalton! Do you think you can take on all of us by yourself?" Wapol scoffed disdainfully.
"If he's not enough on his own, what about adding us?" Luffy and Sanji had somehow appeared beside Dalton, looking at Wapol and speaking calmly.
"Hmm?" Wapol narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them, and asked menacingly, "Kid, who are you?"
Since Xia Chen used his Flying Nimbus to Luffy directly to Drum Island, they didn't encounter Wapol and his crew along the way, and naturally, they didn't recognize Luffy.
"You ugly bastard, my name is Luffy, and I'm the one who's going to beat you up! What you said really annoyed me!"
"A king should never be like you!"
m9( `д´ )!!!!
"Kid, are you looking for death? How dare you call me an ugly monster?"
"Furthermore, my right to be king is none of your business. Since you dare to provoke me, all three of you will die here today!"
Dalton looked at Luffy and Sanji beside him with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but say, "You guys didn't actually need to step forward!"
"Now you're also being targeted by Wapol; he won't let you go..."
"Mr. Dalton, we are very grateful for your previous willingness to believe in us despite the opposition. Now that you are in trouble, we cannot turn a blind eye!"
"Besides... with this ugly freak, I don't even need to use my hands, I can just move my feet and beat him to a pulp!" Sanji said casually after taking a drag of his cigarette.
However, when he said those words, Xia Chen and the others behind him had strange expressions.
You seem to only ever fight with your feet, right?
Wapol, however, was unaware of this. Upon hearing Sanji's words, his anger flared instantly, and he shouted to his subordinates, "Go and kill them all! I'll teach these brats what happens when they provoke me!"
"Yes!"
A group of soldiers with guns responded, then stepped forward and pulled the triggers without hesitation towards Luffy and his Luffy.
"Watch out!" Dalton shouted, moving quickly to get in front of Luffy and the others to block the bullets.
But Luffy was faster, appearing in the path of the bullets in the blink of an eye and blocking them all with his body.
" Straw Hat Boy!"
Dalton was shocked. He couldn't understand why the Straw Hat Boy would use his body to block the bullets; he could have easily...
Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ!
Before he could finish his thought, he saw a bunch of bullets bounce off Luffy's body and shoot back in the original direction.
At this moment, Xia Chen looked at Luffy with some surprise, but his surprise was not for the same reason as Dalton's.
It was Luffy's speed just now!
Luffy's speed just now was almost catching up with Shave.
That's interesting!
It seems the training over this period has been quite effective!
With a wave of his hand, Xia Chen conjured a table and several chairs in front of him.
Then he sat down by himself, picked up the teapot on the table, and started brewing the Earl he had swiped from Mr. 3. He even called out to Vivi and the others, "Come on, let's drink together!"
Usopp sat down, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Drinking tea in winter is so comforting! But is it really okay for us to just sit here and watch Luffy and his crew fight?"
"What's the big deal? Luffy and his crew can easily handle this Luffy! We can just watch from the sidelines!"
Just then, a figure darted out from beside Xia Chen —it was Chopper!
Chopper swallowed a small yellow ball halfway through the journey, and then transformed into a burly man standing next to Luffy and his crew.
"I'll help too!"
