Luffy, Shiraishi, Usopp, Chopper embark on an adventure on the island.

On the Going Merry, Retsu Unohana glanced to the side and saw a huge sailing ship...

She was already tired of complaining about the shipbuilding technology of this world, where giant ships with displacements of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons were built in all sorts of bizarre shapes.

Like this ship, the fox-shaped figurehead of a giant ship slowly sailing in from the other side of the island.

The giant ship sailed in, and two anchors, like cat's paws, flew out and anchored themselves on the shore, surrounding the Going Merry.

What does this mean?

Nami tilted her head; the person next to her was the source of her calm confidence.

"If you want to fight, get out here."

Zoro's motto is: If something can be solved with a sword, it's not a problem.

"We are the Foxy Pirates."

As a large group of people wearing goggles appeared on the deck, they looked at the trapped Going Merry with laughter, clearly harboring ill intentions.

Our goal is a duel!

Zoro reached for his sword, "Perfect timing."

"Wait a minute," a pirate wearing an eyepatch chuckled coldly on deck, "This is a war that begins with the agreement of both captains, a brutal duel aimed at plundering the other's crew."

"If you want to fight, then fight," Zoro said, his sword still sheathed. "Why bother with all this fancy stuff?"

"I see," Sanji lit a cigarette. "This isn't a fight; Davyback Fight is a pirate game."

"Yes," Robin, who was well-informed, took over the conversation and explained.

"This game originated from a pirate Paradise called Pirate Island in the past."

Simply put, it's a game of robbing pirates of each other to get better crew members.

"That's right!"

"The winner can choose members from the opposing ship. If they don't find anyone they like, they can also take the opposing ship's pirate flag."

Looking at the densely packed pirates on the other ship, Retsu Unohana realized that it wasn't meant to be flashy after all.

"A duel that stakes on comrades and honor; victory increases strength, defeat brings devastating losses."

"It really is a game for pirates."

"How can that be!"

Nami was the first to object; the idea of using one's comrades as a gamble was disgusting.

"We will never accept this kind of duel!"

Hahahaha~~~

"That's not up to you," the crowd on the other deck burst into laughter.

"These kinds of things are decided by the captain. Our captain is already there. As long as Monkey D. Luffy nods, you're all the chips on the table."

"What is this? It's a really long bamboo."

Luffy looked up at the bamboo outside; it had grown a bit too tall.

The bamboo started to move...

"Wow, that's amazing!" Usopp exclaimed.

Luffy kicked out hard, "Whip!"

Crack! The bamboo pole snapped, and whoosh! A person fell from the sky, creating a huge cloud of dust.

Shiraishi looked around and saw an old man lying on the ground, wearing a black hat. He said humorously, "Kick the bamboo and the spirit will appear."

A moment of silence followed, then the old man stood up and said, "It's you all. Long time no see."

Usopp asked curiously, "Do you know him?"

Luffy and Shiraishi both shook their heads.

"Oh, no wonder I don't remember it."

The old man suddenly realized what was going on and began to introduce himself, "My name is Tonjit. Anyway, I want to thank you for helping me get down from the stilts."

Tonjit said he stepped onto the stilts to challenge the world record for the tallest stilts, but was too scared to come down afterward, and has been living on them for ten years.

Even Luffy had to admit, this guy is incredibly stupid.

Usopp was shocked that the old man had lived on stilts for ten years.

Even if the presence of apples prevents them from dying of thirst or hunger, stilt walkers need to maintain their balance at all times. Won't they accidentally fall off while sleeping?

Tonjit warmly invited the group to his home and brought out milk that had been stored for ten years, which had turned into a suspicious, cheese-like substance.

"It's cheese."

When Tonjit spoke, he seemed so guilty that he looked away.

Shiraishi and Usopp complained that neither milk nor cheese could be eaten even after being stored for ten years.

Luffy reached out his hand to eat, but Usopp stopped him.

Tonjit actually picked it up and ate it himself, remarking that young people these days are really hopeless.

winter.

He collapsed.

"Are you an idiot?!" Usopp roared, "I already said we can't eat it!"

"Doctor, that's me!"

Chopper snapped out of his daze and immediately went to check, discovering it was food poisoning.

After curing Tonjit, Tonjit explained to the group that the island was called Long Ring Long Land.

Due to the tides, it changes into two states every ten years: one is a long ring connected together, and the other is ten separate small islands.

Because these ten small islands are essentially one island, the Log Pose will only record the magnetic force of the entire Long Ring Long Land once.

It's impossible to reach the neighboring island by sea.

Unless you're riding a horse.

Tonjit heard the horse neighing and quickly went out of the house, where he saw his Shelly, still there.

Tonjit rode his horse and happily rode across the grasslands. (By Brunswick)

Just then, Shelly was shot by Pistol and fell to the ground.

Luffy was furious when he saw three strange guys appear in front of him. The leader was a middle-aged ugly man with a frizzy haircut, a red nose, droopy eyebrows, and triangular eyes, wearing a purple fur coat.

And a Shoujou carrying a bag and a woman with a great figure holding a magic wand.

"You bastards, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

Then, Luffy, was tricked into agreeing to the competition.

Peng, Peng, Peng!

A few fireworks rose slowly into the sky, and the seaside was bustling with activity.

"Want some sausages? Toast, cookies, bacon~~~"

"I've placed my bet! The odds for the Straw Hat Pirates to win the first game are...!"

"The opening ceremony is about to begin."

"Please prepare your teams."

The Foxy Pirates are full of talented people; they can turn a simple island competition into a festive celebration.

People were buying food, badges, balloons... it was a lively scene.

Luffy and Chopper were overjoyed.

Meanwhile, Tonjit dragged the bandaged Shelly to the counter and ordered two servings of fried noodles, leaving Usopp speechless.

"Brothers, quiet down!"

The navigator of the Foxy ship, who is also the Magician beauty holding a microphone and acting as a part-time host.

"Now I will announce the rules, first... second..."

"Above."

"Those who break the rules will be considered a disgrace to pirates and locked in Davy Jones's locker!"

Who is David Jones?

After receiving what Robin had bought, Chopper was the first to ask a question.

Both captains swore to abide by the rules!

"I swear!" x2

"Davy Jones is a pirate from the past, cursed by a demon, and is said to still live at the bottom of the sea."

"Legend has it that any treasure or ship that sinks to the bottom of the sea will be locked away in his cabinet; of course, it's just a legend."

Robin smiled and replied.

"The competitions are divided into three categories: racing, ball games, and duels..."

"Very well, the duel is mine."

Zoro was filled with fighting spirit.

"Wait, my feet are starting to itch!"

Sanji immediately retorted.

"Wait, I want to choose a duel too."

Peng! x2

"Shut up, Luffy!"

"This is all your doing!"

Luffy protested even after Nami and Usopp each punched him in the face, Luffy.

"Isn't winning all that matters?"

Due to the limited number of participants, the list is as follows.

The first event, the island-wide rowing race:

Nami, Robin, Usopp.

The second match, a martial arts ball game:

Shiraishi, Zoro, Sanji

The third match, the captain's duel:

Luffy.

"Participants may only use four barrels and oars to build their race boats."

This is also a test of the shipwrights' skills.

After the ping-pong match:

"First up is the Straw Hat Pirates ' Barrel Tiger."

" The Straw Hat Pirates's representatives are navigator Nami, shipwright Usopp, and archaeologist Robin."

I already said I'm not a boatman.

However, no one listened to Usopp's complaints, while the other side was greeted with thunderous cheers as soon as they appeared!

"Next up is our Foxy Pirates's navigator, cheerleader, idol—Miss Porche!"

"Oh, please! Leave it to me!"

The beautiful magician, with her sweet, coquettish voice, waved to the surroundings.

"Then comes the sailfish fishman Capote, the octopus fishman Pickles, and the star shark Monda!"

"Oh, oh, oh, we promise to sink their little raft!" The two burly fish-men struck various poses, showing off their muscles.

"Hey, hey, hey, a shark... isn't it a fish?"

Usopp pointed at the fish pulling the other team's boat and said, "Just because you wear a hood doesn't mean you're human! Fish-people are one thing, but to openly use a fish to compete..."

"Ugh~~ There's no rule saying fish can't participate in competitions~"

Ah, this...

"On your marks!"

Following the referee's gunshot:

Bullets are loaded, cannons are aimed.

Bang bang bang!

Boom, boom.

"Oh, that's a foul!"

A hail of bullets and artillery fire rained down on the small boat where Nami were, instantly plunging the unsuspecting Nami, Usopp, and Robin into a hail of bullets.

"Ugh~ We're leaving now~ Bye-bye~"

Foxy's sharks swung their fins, pulling the boat forward at breakneck speed, while Nami and the others' Barrel Tiger remained spinning in place.

"What kind of lousy competition is this?!"

"Hahaha, interference is allowed in One Piece games!"

Compared to Nami and Usopp, who were filled with grief and indignation, Robin was much calmer.

"If we're talking about interference from outside the game, then now..."

" Gum-Gum Pistol wildly!"

" Collier!"

" Three Sword Style - Air Blade Wild Dance!"

Before Shiraishi could even make a move, the Foxy Pirates members who had interfered with the match were instantly killed.

"Damn it, how dare you attack Robin -chan!"

"I will smash your skulls."

"Great, everyone should just focus on watching the game."

After a chaotic brawl, the Foxy Pirates ' spectators immediately sat down obediently like kindergarten children, with their hands on their knees, watching the match attentively.

If you ignore their bruised and swollen faces.

"Thank goodness." Usopp breathed a sigh of relief and looked up.

"They've all disappeared!"

"Then hurry up and start rowing!" Nami roared. " Usopp, if we lose, I'll take away all your allowance for this month!"

"No!!"

" Robin, you're rowing too?"

In response to Nami's words, the intellectual beauty who was engrossed in her book simply smiled slightly.

"I am paddling."

She was indeed rowing; several arms had sprouted from the side of the oars and were constantly turning them.

"Ah... well, while it's true they're rowing, it doesn't look like..."

Nami grew increasingly desperate, feeling that Robin wasn't using her full strength at all, and that if things continued like this, they would lose the match.

She's so cute, she'll definitely be chosen. I should have brought Retsu Unohana to participate.

Usopp began to demonstrate his inventor's hands-on skills, starting to modify the dilapidated ship.

·······

"Hahaha, should we head straight for the finish line, or should we get them in the water~~~"

Just as the magician Porche, who was far ahead, was speaking in a sweet, coquettish voice, a loud noise came from behind her.

"What the hell is this?!" Her eyes widened as the Barrel Tiger approached at an alarming speed.

A hurricane-force wind propelled the small wooden boat through the waves.

This speed is faster than a shark pulling a boat... no, faster than a shark!

If Usopp had better control, he could have easily lifted them all into the air.

" Usopp, what's going on?"

Nami looked on in surprise, completely bewildered as to how she had managed to turn the tables.

Usopp cried out in pain, "My arm is going to dislocate!"

Robin said calmly, "It's astonishing; we've already surpassed our opponents."

Usopp paused for a moment, then turned around and explained, "It's the power of the Impact Dial."

Nami exclaimed happily, "Haha, such power from just one strike! Well done! Keep rowing, maintain this lead!"

"Kill them, Capote!"

At the Magician's command, the sailfish fish-man immediately assumed Fish-Man Karate stance and then slashed down with a palm strike from mid-air.

" Sea Surface Splitting Slash!"

An invisible wave of air, sharp as a knife, split and crashed towards the Barrel Tiger carrying Nami and the others.

However, the expected shipwreck and loss of life did not occur. Robin timely changed the way she twisted the fishman's joints, causing the slash to deviate from its original trajectory.

Nami and Usopp seized the opportunity and paddled forward frantically.

As the Barrel Tiger sped past, it splashed the four magical beauties next to it.

To be precise, it's a combination of one person, two fish-people, and one fish.

The seawater on his face caused no physical harm, but it was extremely insulting.

"Bye-bye, you guys swim slowly in the back."

Nami let out a smug taunt; she felt a deep-seated disgust for these guys who had been using underhanded tactics from the very beginning.

"Let's sink them!"

The beautiful Magician had a gloomy expression.

Having created some distance, Nami, worried it might not be safe, said, " Usopp, use your Impact Dial again, and we can shake them off completely!"

"My arm is dislocated, can I still use it?"

Usopp made a comment.

Nami gave a thumbs-up and smiled as brightly as the July sun, saying, "It's okay, even if you break your arm!"

"This is my arm!"

Usopp shouted back, "That woman is a devil!"

Not only did they row him with his shoulder dislocated, they also tried to break his arm.
