Wapol's Omnivorous Hurrah

Wapol's Omnivorous Hurrah is the fifth Cover Story created as a side story on the title pages of each One Piece chapter. The story can be set between the events of Drum Island Arc and the timeskip.

Short Summary
Having been propelled onto an unknown island by Luffy, Wapol experiences (for the first time) life as a homeless man. Eventually, he uses his Baku Baku powers to create unique toys by fusing different objects together and begins to work his way back up the social ladder by selling these toys to children. In the end he opened his own shop and married Miss Universe.

Long Summary
On an unknown island, the landscape has been marred by someone taking bites out of it. That person is revealed to be Wapol, currently sporting a tree head after eating one. Wapol then eats a gas lamp, annoying the nocturnal animals at night, and then a bench, scaring away unsuspecting people trying to sit on him. Finally, Wapol snaps and starts eating the entire town for dessert, which results in his arrest.

Elsewhere, Dalton becomes the new king of Drum Island, with the kingdom now called the Sakura Kingdom.

Wapol, meanwhile, escapes arrest and ends up in a dump with a dog that constantly pees on him. Wapol tries to make money by selling matches, but nobody wants to get near him. Wapol ends up eating broken toys under a bridge, completely destitute, with nothing left of his former life as a king. However, while munching on the junk, he ends up using his Baku Baku Factory technique to create combined junk toys. The island children love Wapol's new toy creations, so Wapol starts selling them for a profit. Wapol's toy booth booms in popularity, and quickly expands.

One of the children brings his new toy and shows it to his scientist father, who discovers that the toy is made out of an unidentified, powerful alloy. Wapol was then thrust into the limelight for this invention, which he dubbed "Wapometal." He managed to become rich enough to build his own toy shop, and then an entire factory, and even an entire conglomerate. He then married a beautiful woman by name of Miss Universe. With her and his new pet, Hakowan, at his side, Wapol has become more rich and powerful than he ever was as a king.
