Drum Island

Drum Island is a Winter Island in Paradise. It is the location of the Sakura Kingdom, formerly known as the Drum Kingdom; the birthplace of Tony Tony Chopper; and the setting of the Drum Island Arc. It was the third island on the Grand Line visited by the Straw Hat Pirates.

General Information
The local kingdom of Drum Island was formerly known as the Drum Kingdom, and was ruled by Wapol's family. During Wapol's reign, he fled the country after an attack from the Blackbeard Pirates, leaving the kingdom without a ruler. Wapol later tried to return and take the kingdom back by force, but was defeated by Monkey D. Luffy. Dalton was then elected king by the population.

The kingdom is famous for having some the best doctors in the Grand Line, with most of them forming the Isshi-100, currently led by Kureha.

History
Years before the present timeline, the Drum Kingdom had a kind ruler.

However, his son Wapol, who inherited the throne, proved to be spoiled and selfish. Among other acts, he forced all of the doctors except for his personal ones to leave, forcing the people to beg him when they needed medical attention. When the Blackbeard Pirates attacked, he and his cabinet fled, only to be defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates when he returned.

Ace is first seen on Drum Island, where he leaves a message for Luffy to meet him in 10 days in the city of Nanohana.

Currently, the island is ruled by the Sakura Kingdom, headed by Dalton.

Trivia

 * 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.
