Chapter 13 - chapter 13 Drum Island Arc

Screen 1 — "The Frozen Journey" (Clean Version)

After leaving Little Garden, the Straw Hat Pirates sail straight into a freezing winter storm. The sea becomes rough, the wind bites, and snow piles up on deck.

Suddenly, Nami collapses with a fever.

Sanji checks her forehead. "She's burning up!"

Usopp panics. "We need a doctor—fast!"

Luffy grips the helm. "Hang on, Nami! We'll find one!"

Ben looks at the Log Pose, eyes sharp. "Nearest island ahead. Let's go!"

They arrive at Drum Island, a kingdom buried in snow — once known for its medical excellence, now silent and fearful.

---

Screen 2 — "The Lonely Doctor" (Clean Version)

Vivi explains that the island used to have 20 doctors, but King Wapol expelled them all years ago. Only one remains — Dr. Kureha, an eccentric 141-year-old woman who lives on Drum Castle, 5,000 meters up a deadly mountain.

Ben crosses his arms. "A doctor at the top of an ice mountain? Great. Just great."

Sanji sighs. "At least she's still alive."

Luffy grins. "Then that's where we're going."

---

Screen 3 — "A Country Without Trust" (Clean Version)

When the crew docks, the villagers mistake them for invaders — terrified of pirates after Wapol's tyranny.

Guns are raised.

Luffy steps forward. "We're not here to fight! We just need help for our friend!"

A villager named Dalton watches silently, recognizing Luffy's sincerity. After Luffy saves him from a collapsing snow bridge, Dalton lowers his weapon.

"...You're different. Come inside."

The Straw Hats finally get shelter and warm clothes.

Ben looks out at the snowstorm. "That mountain looks impossible."

Luffy smirks. "Good thing we don't care about impossible."

---

Screen 4 — "The Climb" (Clean Version)

As Nami's fever worsens, Luffy and Sanji prepare to climb.

Ben taps the Omnitrix.

FLASH! "WAY BIG!"

The villagers freeze in shock as a 100-meter-tall alien towers over the mountain.

Way Big kneels. "Load her up."

Luffy and Sanji carefully place Nami in his palm.

The storm howls, snow slicing through the air, but Way Big climbs the 5,000-meter peak with massive strides, his body unfazed by the cold.

Luffy shouts, "This is awesome!"

Sanji yells back, "Just don't slip, giant!"

Way Big laughs. "Relax! I could do this blindfolded."

Minutes later, he reaches the summit and gently sets them down at Dr. Kureha's castle.

Inside, Dr. Kureha gasps at the sight of the giant alien.

Tony Tony Chopper, her assistant, hides behind the door, trembling.

Ben reverts to normal. "Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt anyone. Especially cute animals."

Dr. Kureha treats Nami, and through conversation, Ben learns Chopper's backstory — how he was an outcast reindeer turned blue-nosed hybrid after eating the Human-Human Fruit, and how his mentor Dr. Hiriluk taught him compassion before dying.

Ben listens quietly. "That's tragic… but kind of inspiring too."

Chopper blinks at him. "You're weird."

Ben smiles. "Takes one to know one."

Screen 5 — "Wapol's Return" (Clean Version)

Wapol storms up the mountain with his soldiers, furious that intruders have occupied his castle.

"I'll eat you all — and take back what's mine!"

Luffy glares. "You're the reason your people suffered."

Ben cracks his knuckles. "And I'm the reason you're about to regret it."

Wapol transforms into Wapol House, with cannons sprouting from his body.

💥 Round 1 – Opening Attacks

Wapol fires a barrage of cannonballs.

Ben slaps the Omnitrix. FLASH! "Diamondhead!"

Crystal shields shatter the projectiles midair.

Luffy counters with Gomu Gomu no Pistol, knocking Wapol into a snowbank.

Wapol growls, eating his own cannons to form a steel-plated monster form.

Ben (Diamondhead): "Okay, now he's snack-sized for me."

⚔️ Round 2 – Power Clash

Wapol charges with explosive cannonballs.

Ben switches to FLASH! "Heatblast!"

He melts the shells midflight, steam flooding the air.

Luffy charges through the mist — Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!

The blow sends Wapol crashing into his own gate.

Ben: "He just ate his own house! That's not strategy, that's self-cannibalism."

Luffy: "And it's gonna cost him!"

💪 Round 3 – Final Strike

Wapol traps Luffy in an ice pit with Baku Baku Factory, spitting out fake soldiers.

Ben reverts to normal, smirks, and hits the Omnitrix again.

FLASH! "Four Arms!"

He smashes the ice, lifts Luffy up, and clears the field in one swing.

Luffy: "Thanks, big guy!"

Ben: "Let's end this!"

They leap together.

Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Battle Axe and Four Arms' ground quake punch hit at once —

BOOM!

Wapol flies through the castle wall and lands buried in snow.

Ben (normal again): "You bit off more than you could chew."

Luffy stands over him. "And you never learned to care about anyone."

Dr. Kureha watches from above. "Not bad, boys."

Screen 6 — "A New Nakama" (Clean Version)

With Wapol defeated and the kingdom freed, Dr. Kureha tells Chopper to go with the Straw Hats.

"Go out there and see the world. Heal people. Live free."

Chopper hesitates. "But—"

Ben kneels. "You're brave, kind, and you can talk. That makes you perfect for our crew."

Luffy grins. "Yeah! Be our doctor!"

Chopper blushes, hiding behind his hat. "You're making me blush, you jerks!"

The crew laughs.

As they sail away from Drum Island, Ben waves at the snowy cliffs.

"Cute animals and crazy doctors… not a bad stop."

Luffy laughs. "Next up — Alabasta!"
