Ep 83. The Island Where Snow Lives! Climb the Drum Rockies!

As the Straw Hat Pirates continue their journey through the Grand Line, they arrive at an island covered with snow and ice. The episode titled "The Island Where Snow Lives! Climb the Drum Rockies!" begins with the crew making their way through the snowy terrain, with Luffy and his friends more excited than daunted by the harsh weather conditions.

The island is known as Drum Island, and the locals are a unique breed of humans with the ability to care for various animals and live in harmony with nature. The pirates are greeted by Dr. Hiruluk, a peculiar doctor who is known for his eccentric personality and his love for cherry blossoms.

Dr. Hiruluk reveals that the island has a notorious reputation due to the presence of Wapol, a tyrannical king who is hated by the locals for his cruel and selfish ways. The king has banned all doctors from operating on the island, depriving the inhabitants of any medical attention they might need.

As the crew gets used to the frigid temperatures, they discover that the island is also home to several penguins who can communicate with humans. Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp are ecstatic to meet the unusual creatures and quickly befriend them.

The crew's adventures take them to the foot of a colossal mountain named Drum Rockies. With the help of Dr. Hiruluk, the pirates learn about a secret path that leads up the mountain. This path, however, is rife with danger, and the group must thread carefully to reach their destination.

Along the way, they encounter several obstacles, including the notorious Lapahn, who taunts the group and tries to prevent them from completing their goal. But the pirates are determined, and they manage to fight off the attackers and continue their ascent up the mountain.

As they reach the summit of the mountain, the crew discovers the reason why the island is known as the "Island where Snow Lives." There is a vast expanse of snow with various frozen creatures and massive icicles. However, the frozen land hides a secret, which Luffy and his friends are keen to uncover.

At the peak of the mountain, the pirates encounter a creature named "Wapol," the island's tyrannical king, who was previously believed to be deceased. The Wapol is a self-centered creature who has no regard for the welfare of his subjects and only cares about his own benefit.

The Wapol has summoned his army of chess-themed soldiers known as the Bliking Pirates, to try and halt the Straw Hat Pirates' progress. However, with the crew's combined strength, they manage to defeat the Bliking Pirates.

The battle results in an unlikely friendship between Luffy and Chopper, who reveals his true identity as a reindeer who has eaten a Devil Fruit. This ability has given him human-like qualities and has allowed him to become a doctor himself.

The episode ends on a high note, with Luffy and his crew successfully overcoming the obstacles and making new friends on their journey through the Grand Line. They leave Drum Island, looking forward to new adventures and never forgetting the lessons learned on their snowy visit to the Island where Snow Lives.
