You and I just aren't going to see eye to eye on Drum Drum Island. 😛
I'll fully admit that it needed to be better placed in the story(as it is, it really does seem like the story goes on a random tangent from the Baroque plotline) and that Wapol wasn't threatening. But I did find Wapol funny(funnier than Buggy anyway) and I really like Chopper's backstory and the overall lesson of the arc. It worked for me.
That said, what the **** happened to Chopper's old hat? 😐

He's really the first family Chopper ever had.
