HistoryEdit
When the Sakura Kingdom was the Drum Kingdom, it was ruled by the royal family of Drum Island. It once had a kind ruler and many of the greatest doctors on the Grand Line. However, when the king and his son died, Wapol came into power, things took a turn for the worse. Wapol issued that the twenty best doctors work exclusively for him (the Isshi-20), while the rest of the doctors were banished or killed.
Then, the Blackbeard Pirates came and invaded the island, and Wapol fled in fear. Since then, Drum Island was left without a ruling government, and Dr. Kureha took residence in his castle. When Wapol came back to try to retake his kingdom, it was also the same time when the Straw Hat Pirates landed on the island, looking for a doctor to help a sick Nami. Wapol then tried to destroy Dr. Hiluluk's flag which was standing on top of Drum Castle. In response to this, Luffy used Gomu Gomu no Bazooka to knock Wapol out of the kingdom.
After Wapol was blown away by Luffy, the people of the kingdom decided to make Dalton the king, who decided to erase the bitter effect of Wapol's actions by renaming the kingdom "Sakura" in memory of Dr. Hiluluk and his goal of using the sakura to cure all diseases of the heart. The new kingdom also uses Dr. Hiluluk's Jolly Roger as the flag.
Ace is first seen on Drum Island, where he left a message for Luffy to meet him in 10 days in the city of Nanohana, at Alabasta.
TriviaEdit
- The first two Zoan-type Devil Fruit users in the series came from this Island.
- Currently, Sakura Kingdom's flag is a Jolly Roger designed by Hiluluk (a jolly roger with numerous sakura petals surrounding it), as seen in one of the mini-arcs.
