Drum Island

Drum Island (ドラム島, Doramu-tō) is a Winter Island, located on the Grand Line. The Sakura Kingdom is located here. It is covered in snow and features a series of drum shaped mountains known as the Drum Rockies (ドラムロック, Doramu Rokku), it is also the location that Tony Tony Chopper was born. 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. Currently, the island is ruled by the Sakura Kingdom, headed by Dalton. This is the location of the Drum Island arc.

Trivia

 * Currently, Sakura Kingdom's flag is a Jolly Roger designed by Hiruluk (a Jolly Roger with numerous Sakura petals surrounding it), as seen in one of the mini-arcs. As Jolly Roger is absolutely forbidden under the World Government, it may mean that Drum Island is no longer part of the World government.
 * Drum Kingdom's general isolation, being ruled by a dictator, and reknown for great doctors may be references to the real island nation of Cuba.
