Chapter 151

While Dalton takes the Ropeway to the castle with his men, Vivi, Zoro and Usopp reminisce about the many injustices Wapol has performed in the past. At the top, Luffy and Wapol fight each other. Luffy explains what it means to be a true pirate. Moreover, he does not care about being an enemy of the World Government and sends Wapol, who chooses to flee rather than risk his life, flying away with his Gomu Gomu no Bazooka.

The Skies of Drum

The villagers have revealed a way to get to the castle from Dr. Kureha's old house. They are aboard the tram with injured Dalton. He remembers how he stands up against the king saying how useless he is since he does not care about the people. He calls the king a fool, making him mad. The king severely beats Dalton to the brink of death.

Meanwhile, the fight between Luffy and Wapol rages on with Wapol threatening the wrath of the world government if anything happens to him. Luffy responds that he does not care and grabs Wapols face ready to attack. Wapol tries to eat his hand but Luffy just stretches. Wapol then spits up a cannon and fires at Luffy, while Dalton wonders about government. Luffy then appears unscathed from the cannon and still holds onto Wapol.

It switches back to Dalton. He tells the villagers to stand clear of the castle. He has dynamite and he plans on blowing it up. Luffy grabs Wapol and spins him around with his arms. He then kicks him while Wapol is still spinning sending him flying through the roof. He lands back onto the roof and sees Choppers pirate flag. He reaches to take it down but Luffy tells him he has no right touching a sacred pirate flag. Luffy then punches him and sends him flying out of sight.

All the villagers see that Wapol has been beaten and they start rejoicing. Chopper's faith in pirates surges as he sees that the straw hat pirates are good people.

Krabby Land

One morning, SpongeBob looks at his calendar and realizes that it is the first day of summer, and he gets excited. When he goes to work, he sees Mr. Krabs even more excited for summer. SpongeBob asks him why, and he says that on summer vacation, children go around spending money, and the Krusty Krab will get more profits through kiddie meals, which he raises the price of from $1.99 to $4.99. However, he sees that the children are all at a new playground, and decides to make a playground of his own called Krabby Land.

At work the next day, Mr. Krabs reveals the grand opening of Krabby Land, which he proudly built himself. When it is uncovered, it is revealed to be little more than an unbelievably dopey-looking assembly of cheaply made and dangerous attractions that will definitely collapse under their own weight. The children are horrified, yet speechless with disappointment, but Mr. Krabs gives them coloring books/liability waivers and says that whoever hands theirs back gets to meet "Krabby the Clown." He tells them that the clown will come soon, and tells SpongeBob to stall the kids while he counts the money.

SpongeBob pretends to be Krabby's sidekick, "the Krabby Patty Burglar," but the children hate him. He accidentally injures himself while trying to amuse them by blowing bubbles and getting soap liquid in his eyes, which makes the kids laugh. He realizes that the kids like it when he is in pain, and begins intentionally harming himself, even hiring two thugs to torture him by feeding him lima beans.

After a while, SpongeBob goes to Mr. Krabs, who is sorting through a large stack of money, and tells him that he cannot stall the children anymore, being horribly beaten and missing limbs. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he is being selfish and tells him to "get back there and stall," but upon seeing SpongeBob's legs flying around, he fears that his windows will be smashed and broken, so he tells him to let the crowd of children enter the restaurant for Krabby the Clown's arrival. Excited, the children and SpongeBob rush in front of Mr. Krabs, who welcomes Krabby the Clown. However, it turns out that Mr. Krabs turns around and immediately puts on a tie and a blue-painted tomato on his nose, and does a cheap imitation of the clown. He then walks back into his office, leaving the children and SpongeBob jaw-dropped in confusion. This latest rip-off is the last straw for the children and SpongeBob.

An extremely disappointed SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs, expressing his disdain for such a rip-off and calls him "Cheapy the Cheapskate." Mr. Krabs undresses from his costume and finally admits that he does not care about the children, but for the money of their parents and is willing to do whatever it takes to get their money, and even calls the kids being the victims of his scam "no skin off his nose." He then taunts SpongeBob for being unable to stop him in time by saying twice, "Survival of the fittest."

Mr. Krabs tries to go to the bank with the money he has made, but he is confronted by an angry mob of children who have overheard his confession and are planning to punish him. Mr. Krabs, realizing that he is about to be punished and has given the kids his confession which was not taken well, tries to reconcile, but fails as the kids charge, beat him up, and destroy the playground.

Inside, SpongeBob is disappointed that he will never learn the true meaning of summer. Monroe then calls SpongeBob over about the summer miracle, where the kids take back all their money and distribute it back to themselves. SpongeBob guesses it is the true meaning of summer, but he asks Squidward where Mr. Krabs is, who is missing out on all the summer fun. The scene cuts to Mr. Krabs, tied on all fours between wooden poles, who wants the return of his "green stuff" and begs for freedom. However, the thugs, paid by the children for his swindling, only reply to him with a can of lima beans and a truckload of them, causing him distress by the torture of what SpongeBob went through earlier.
