Chapter 134

Dalton reveals to Vivi and Usopp that Wapol was their former king. But instead of protecting the villagers during Blackbeard's attack, he fled along with the country's army and became a pirate as a decoy. Vivi cannot believe that a king can act so badly. Unfortunately for Drum people, their worst fear is about to happen: Wapol and his men are in view of their former island and he is coming back to reclaim his throne.

Meanwhile, Sanji and Luffy are on their way to retrieve the doctor who can cure Nami, and while chitchatting, they are attacked by a baby lapahn, but Sanji gets rid of him easily. A group of adults Lapahns appear in front of them.

Dr. Kureha, the only Doctor of the island, has come down to a nearby town. She cures a boy who is suffering enormously, but the villagers are skeptical with her unorthodox manner and fees. They are easily convinced after she shows her tremendous skill by diagnosing and curing the boy efficiently.

Dr. Kureha

Dalton is surprised to learn that the Straw Hats know about Wapol. Usopp responds that he tried to attack them a couple of days ago, and Vivi reveals that she met him a while ago at the council of kings. Vivi's comment prompts shock from Dalton as to her true identity. Vivi attempts to cover up her mistake and changes the subject.

Dalton then explains that Wapol was the king of the country but fled when pirates arrived, witch surprises Vivi as to how a king can be so uncaring towards his people.

Meanwhile, Luffy is carrying Nami when they are confronted by Lapins. While it is revealed that Kureha has just come down to a neighboring village and that Wapol has finally found drum kingdom. Elsewhere, Dr. Kureha is at a bar diagnosing a child, who she believes that he was on the verge of death but she treats him, and then demands an exceptionally large fee, which angers the father and the villagers but the boy thanks her and she collects her fee.

Squilliam Returns

On his lunch break, Squidward encounters Squilliam Fancyson with a group of his sycophants. Squilliam asks Squidward what he has "accomplished" since high school. Squidward, panicking of imagining for what Squilliam looks like in his underwear with the human body, tells him that he owns a five-star restaurant. Squilliam tells Squidward that he and his friends will come to his restaurant tonight, and Squidward is very shocked, frightened and nervous. He begs Mr. Krabs to let him have control of the Krusty Krab for the day, and when he explains that Squilliam is coming, Mr. Krabs accepts, because he knows that Squilliam has money and wants to stick up for his employee.

Squidward attempts to train the Krusty Krab crew to turn the establishment into a fancy restaurant. Thinking that he is joining the corps, Patrick appears in the restaurant awaiting orders, and is given the job of collecting the hats. SpongeBob, who does not know how a waiter works yet, is the waiter, and Mr. Krabs, who says he once served on the S.S. Gourmet, is the chef. However, things do not go well; Patrick is beating up the hat rack because it will not "give" him its hat, and Mr. Krabs makes terrible food such as cooked peas still in a can from the oven and an appetizer that has fly wings and more filthy things. Mr. Krabs also says that he only worked as a janitor on the S.S. Gourmet, and was actually the head chef on the S.S. Diarrhea. Lastly, SpongeBob cannot handle the copy of "How To Become A Fancy Waiter in Less Than 20 Minutes" that Squidward gave him. Squidward tells SpongeBob to clear his mind of "everything that doesn't have to do with fine dining and breathing." SpongeBob's mind (which is metaphorically portrayed as an office) is operated by smaller SpongeBobs. Their boss' assistant tells them that he just got an order: Dump everything that is not about fine dining. They begin to get rid of all documents, which represent SpongeBob's knowledge, until SpongeBob just stares into empty space in a catatonic state.

Squidward runs outside and bumps into Squilliam, who is just about to enter. They both go inside, and see that the Krusty Krab has been transformed into a very fancy five-star restaurant. After sending all the customers to their tables, SpongeBob tells Squidward that he did all of this, and that he has tied up Patrick and Mr. Krabs in the kitchen as punishment. After his meal, Squilliam admits that he is impressed and asks SpongeBob what his name is. However, SpongeBob cannot remember his own name, having discarded it along with everything else, and inside his mind, all of the little SpongeBobs try to find his name, but to no avail as they panic, ultimately resulting in his brain snapping in half (and it's all because of Squidward for telling him to erase all memories, but forgot to tell him to stop erasing the memory of his name). SpongeBob goes completely insane, mindlessly spilling food on patrons and grating the posteriors of others. Still tied up, Mr. Krabs and Patrick run out of the kitchen being chased down by the appetizer the former made earlier which has turned into an evil living monster and it also has a human foot. With this, the fancy façade is ruined, making the Krusty Krab's true nature unveiled.

Squidward has no choice but to tell Squilliam the truth, that he actually is a cashier and everything was just an attempt to impress him. However, Squilliam then "confesses" that he is also a cashier too and that he lied about being rich to upstage Squidward and beat him. Squidward asks if this is true, but Squilliam reveals that he was just kidding and he really is "filthy stinkin' rich!". He and his crowd leave the restaurant to ride in his "balloon/casino," leaving Squidward dejected and defeated once again, but not before Mr. Krabs comes in and plays him a sad song in the World's Smallest Violin, which annoys him a lot, making him request in anger to leave, as the episode ends.
