Description
Personality
Wapol is a spoiled, self-centered, and cowardly former king, utterly devoid of concern for his people. He prioritizes his own desires above all else, ruling through fear and intimidation rather than genuine leadership. His actions demonstrate a profound lack of empathy and responsibility, as seen in his abandonment of his kingdom and his callous disregard for his subjects' well-being. Even after his downfall, his selfish nature persists, though his ambition and cunning allow him to rebuild his wealth and power. Despite his outwardly childish and comedic demeanor, Wapol possesses a surprising degree of strategic thinking and ruthlessness. He displays a capacity for long-term planning and manipulation, as evidenced by his "Doctor Hunt" and his later business success. His gluttony and impulsive nature, however, often undermine his plans, leading to both comedic and disastrous consequences. While he holds grudges and seeks revenge, moments of unexpected caution and even a hint of horror at witnessing extreme cruelty suggest a complex, if ultimately flawed, personality. His distinctive laugh and habit of calling people "kaba" (hippo) instead of "baka" (idiot) contribute to his comedic portrayal, but this shouldn't overshadow his fundamentally cruel and self-serving nature. His transformation from a tyrannical king to a successful businessman highlights his adaptability and ambition, even if his core personality remains unchanged.
Abilities
Wapol's primary ability stems from his consumption of the Baku Baku no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This grants him the power to: * **Devour virtually anything:** He can expand his mouth to an enormous size, allowing him to swallow objects, people, and even parts of buildings. * **Body Transformation:** After consuming something, Wapol can transform parts of his body to replicate its properties. For example, eating a cannon allows him to fire cannonballs from his arm. He can utilize multiple transformations simultaneously. * **Regurgitation and Recombination:** He can rearrange ingested materials within his body and regurgitate them in altered forms. This is how he created Wapometal, a new type of shape-memory steel. He can also combine swallowed individuals, as seen with Chessmarimo. * **Slim-Up Technique:** Wapol can devour his own body, leaving only his jaw, and then reform himself into a slimmer, more agile physique. Beyond his Devil Fruit powers, Wapol demonstrates: * **Tactical Cunning:** He displays surprising strategic thinking, devising plans to control his kingdom and later to capture Dr. Hiriluk. His business acumen is also noteworthy, as he built a successful toy empire. * **Durability:** Despite his obesity, he possesses considerable resilience, quickly recovering from attacks. * **Weapon Proficiency:** While not a skilled fighter, he utilizes weapons such as the Royal Drum Crown 7-Shot Bliking Cannon (though its functionality is often hampered).
