Type of Villain

Egotistical Monarch

"Tin-Plate" Wapol is the main antagonist of the Drum Island Arc, and the main antagonist of the ninth One Piece movie Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura.

He is the former monarch of the Drum Kingdom, originally named for the "Drum Peak" mountains which support Wapol's castle. He became a pirate after fleeing from his country when Blackbeard and his crew attacked Drum Island. He is the archenemy of Tony Tony Chopper.

After his defeat by the Straw Hat Pirates, he became the head of his own toy enterprise and married Kinderella. Two years later, he was given his own kingdom by the World Nobles and now reigns as the king of the Evil Black Drum Kingdom. Unfortunately for him, Wapol became a fugitive to the World Government when he witnessed King Nefertari Cobra's death at the hands of Imu and the Five Elders, forcing him to go into hiding with Cobra's daughter, Nefertari Vivi.

He is voiced by Bin Shimada in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Brian Zimmerman in Alternate Odex English dub, Matt Hoverman in 4Kids Entertainment English dub, and Andy Mullins in Funimation English dub in the English version of the anime (who also provided the voice of Don Krieg).

Personality[]

Wapol proved to be a spoiled and corrupt king, who held not even the slightest regard for his people. He loves to dominate over others with his family's power and wealth, and truly believes that none should dare question his authority.

He was also cowardly and disloyal, fleeing his kingdom without even fighting back when the Blackbeard Pirates attacked, taking with him the doctors and soldiers while leaving his remaining subjects to fend for themselves. His self-centered actions ruined the kingdom's reputation, which caused all the citizens to both fear and hate him.

When losing power, he was dismayed that he was now forced to fend for himself. However, when he opened a successful business, he was quite happy especially when it later granted him back his own power.

He is callous towards his people and never appears to care for their safety. However, upon witnessing Cobra's murder, Wapol admitted while he despised the latter that he took no joy in his death especially when Cobra and the World Government are supposed to be allies.

Despite of his dimwittedness and laziness, Wapol does have the sense of caution, as he realized his life was in danger when he learned of Cobra's death and when he told Vivi to pipe down when there are so many Den Den Mushi inside the World Economy News Paper's blimp.

Trivia[]

Eight years prior to the storyline, Wapol dismissed Monkey D. Dragon as a threat when the latter was brought up at the Levely. Ironically, he ended up facing defeat at the hands of Luffy, Dragon's own son, eight years later.
He is the first known monarch introduced in the series so far. Unlike the other known kings/rulers in the series, Wapol is rightfully Drum Kingdom's ruler albeit a despotic one despite never becoming an usurper.
