Summary:
Luffy and Sanji are stopped on their way to the castle by a herd of Lapins, giant and wild rabbits. Sanji explains to Luffy that only he can fight them and that Luffy must stay out of battle or risk hurting Nami. Sanji kicks them away and the herd gets angry when they see him kicking the little Lapahmo.
Meanwhile, Dalton leads Vivi and Usopp to Cocoa Weed, the village where Dr. Kureha last seen. However, when they arrived, she had already left. The bad news continues when the guard arrives in a state of shock. He tells Dalton that their former king, Wapol, has returned.
On the coast, Wapol easily defeats the village guards and is determined to return to his castle as soon as possible, but when he learns that the Going Merry is nearby and that the Straw Hats are headed for Bighorn Village, he decides to take revenge. For his part, Dalton left Cocoa as soon as he heard the news to stop the tyrant from returning to the throne.
Dalton apologizes on the assumption that Dr. Kureha won’t return so soon as they head to Cocoa Weed Village.
Meanwhile, Sanji and Luffy face a pack of Lapins and Sanji makes Luffy swear not to fight so as not to hurt Nami. Luffy dodges the attacks and runs with the pack after them.
While this is happening, Wapol arrives in the Drum Kingdom and is about to return to his castle when he finds the Straw Hat’s ship, prompting him to go to the Big Horn to kill the Straw Hats. Meanwhile, in Cocoa Weed, Dalton et al. are informed that Dr. Kureha has already left and that Wapol has returned to Big Horn, prompting Dalton to return.
