Overview
Summary
Though varying in height and build, all of the doctors wear identical uniforms: surgical scrubs, gloves, masks, and dark glasses that leave virtually none of their skin exposed. Complementing this, they usually stand with hands raised in a stereotypical "surgery" pose.
Abilities And Powers
Summary
The Isshi-20 were some of the most highly skilled doctors of Drum Island. Their external injuries unit was skilled enough to save Wapol's life even after he was decapitated; hilariously, he didn't even realize that fact until he was informed of it, for the surgeons had yet to complete the medical procedure. They use various techniques, such as cutting with a scalpel, stitching injuries, setting metal plates, and reinforcing them with a hammer. As the Isshi-100, their capabilities as doctors remain to be seen.
History
Past
During King Wapol's Doctor Hunt, he ordered all doctors on Drum Island to live under his direct command, while eliminating those who did not comply either by banishment or killing. This was done to force the citizens to grovel to Wapol for medical help, so his tyrannical rule would be unopposed. The twenty doctors who complied became known as the Isshi-20 and were the only doctors on the island left aside from Kureha and Hiriluk. While they remained under Wapol's control, they secretly despised him as the rest of the people did. However, they gave in to the king in order to remain safe. One day, the Isshi-20 ordered members of Wapol’s security force in Robelle to pick mushrooms, as they were researching their effectiveness against illnesses. This lapse in security allowed Hiriluk and Tony Tony Chopper to attempt to treat the town’s ill citizens, though they failed at it. Word then got out that the Isshi-20 became ill, putting the country in crisis and Hiriluk decided to travel to the Drum Castle to save them. However, the Isshi-20 were not actually sick, and the rumor was created to lure Hiriluk and Kureha to Wapol, though only Hiriluk came. When Hiriluk arrived at the castle, he saw the Isshi-20 in good health and realized that he had been tricked. Hiriluk fell to his knees, thankfully crying that the doctors were safe. Terminally ill and poisoned, he then decided to take his own life, speaking on his legacy before blowing himself up. Upon seeing the rogue doctor Dr. Hiriluk's noble sacrifice, the Isshi-20 became determined not to give up hope. To this end, they continued to refine their medical research and techniques under Wapol's tyrannical control in hopes of helping their compatriots someday. When Wapol fled the kingdom due to a a fearsome enemy's attack, he took the Isshi-20 with him.
Arabasta Saga
Drum Island Arc
Eventually, Wapol and his crew returned to Drum Island, whereupon Dalton attacked his former king. Kuromarimo ordered the external injuries squad to operate, and they used their medical skills to treat him. When Wapol sighed in relief that he was saved, the doctors panicked, as they had yet to reattach his head. When an avalanche erupted, the Isshi-20 asked Wapol to let them ride Robson with him, but the king refused, leaving them behind to fend for themselves. Having survived the avalanche, the Isshi-20 mobilized to save Dalton, who had been gravely injured by Chess. The townspeople and Straw Hat Pirates were reluctant to trust them, but they revealed that they hated Wapol and were inspired by Hiriluk’s sacrifice to never give up hope. The doctors saved Dalton, but when he regained consciousness, he stormed out of where he was being treated and declared that he still had to stand up to Wapol. The doctors tried to dissuade him, but Dalton decided to go with the help of the Straw Hat Pirates. After Wapol was defeated, they were forgiven by the people of the island and rejoined them as citizens of the new Sakura Kingdom.
Fishman Island Saga
From The Decks Of The World
Two years later, the Isshi-20 grew to become the Isshi-100, working under Kureha at Sakura Kingdom's medical center. They now have a new logo: a black flag combining the cross from Chopper's hat with a silhouette of what looks like Hiriluk's hat.
Anime And Manga Differences
Summary
The manga has the Isshi-20 saving Wapol from a complete decapitation by Dalton, exaggerating their skills to nigh-godlike levels. The anime greatly tones this down, depicting the wound as a simpler one across Wapol's torso.
Translation And Dub Issues
Summary
"Isshi" directly references the Japanese for a medical doctor (医師, Isshi?). Accordingly, all English versions translate the group as "doctors" or "MDs" (from the Latin Medicinae Doctor).
