King Wapol is the former ruler of Drum Island, which he later renamed Sakura Kingdom. He's best known for eating the Baku Baku no Mi, a Devil Fruit that lets him consume virtually anything and absorb its properties—a power he exploited constantly during his fights with Luffy, from merging his own advisers into a single warrior to firing bombs from pistol-shaped arms. At one point, he even tried to devour an entire armory to turn himself into a living weapon, though Nami managed to swipe the key before he could pull it off.
Fans often note the sheer absurdity of Wapol's abilities, especially when he literally ate himself to slim down after getting stuck trying to squeeze through a doorway while chasing Nami. His oversized ego matched his appetite—he constantly bragged about his royal status, right up until Luffy sent him flying off the island with a Gum Gum Bazooka.
After crash-landing in a forest village, Wapol did what he does best: ate everything around him. But instead of just destroying the place, he started crafting the consumed materials into toys that charmed the local kids. Someone spotted his talent and offered him a legitimate job, which actually stuck. These days, Wapol runs a massive toy corporation and is dating Miss Universe, having somehow managed to turn his ridiculous powers into actual success.
