ROOMS OF SECRETS

A massive explosion erupts on the deck of the Foxy Pirates' ship, the Sexy Foxy, sending a huge plume of dark smoke high into the air. The ship's giant fox head bow is visible beneath the blast. The announcers excitedly declare, "Now we're talking!" and "Wow, that was a huge explosion!" while wondering, "Luffy's body... got blown up!!?" On the sidelines, the Straw Hat crew and other spectators react in shock and panic. Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper scream in horror. Sanji yells, "In our ship that just happens to be the battlefield..." while Usopp cries out, "...Luffy!?" Chopper screams, "Luffy, hang in there!!!" Robin calmly observes, "CalM down. On that ship he can pull all kinds of cheap tricks." The announcers explain the trap: "The Foxy face bombs that conveniently enough were left there... were cleverly used by our boss for a mega attack!" As the smoke begins to clear around the ship's mast, the announcers speculate, "Straw Hat Luffy was probably blown to pieces. If that happens, he'll have lost the match once part of his body leaves the arena!"

As the smoke clears, Luffy is revealed sitting safely on the ship's rigging ropes, still wearing his afro and boxing gloves. He is panting and coughing, with a Southbird perched nearby. He mutters, "That was close! Cough." The announcers are shocked, their previous declaration of a "devastating knockout by Capt..." interrupted by a confused "!!?" Foxy's crew members scream in terror, "WAAAAH!!" upon seeing Luffy alive. Annoyed by the noise, Luffy glares down and yells, "Hey, stop screaming so loud...!!!" The crowd erupts in cheers, amazed. "Can it really be? Straw Hat Luffy's still alive!!" The Straw Hats celebrate wildly; Chopper cries tears of joy, while Sanji and Usopp cheer him on with "Take him down!!!" and "Oh yeah!!!" The crowd marvels at Luffy's survival, noting, "He must've dodged the explosion in a split second! Amazing!!" and "This.. this is the true strength of a man with a 100 million bounty on his head!" Foxy's crew members look on in fear, muttering, "So strong..." and "Too scary..."

Foxy's confident laughter, "Fuehehehehe...", echoes from the thick veils of smoke still covering the ship's deck. Luffy looks around, trying to locate him. The announcers declare, "The Straw Hat may have avoided the previous attack, but our boss is poised to strike again! His confident laughter radiates forth from the veils of smoke!" The smoke swirls around the ship's structures as the announcers continue, "Our boss' laughter... takes away the enemy's chance to catch their breath!! Where will he strike? How will Foxy the Silver Fox strike next?" Suddenly, a shadow emerges from the smoke. It's Foxy, but he looks heavily battered, covered in bruises, and panting heavily. He points at Luffy and asks, "How did you like that!!?" Luffy, pointing back at Foxy's beaten state, retorts, "You're the one who got hurt!!"

Foxy, looking furious and heavily bruised, yells "Did not!!" at Luffy. He leans in aggressively, shouting, "Stop lying!!" Foxy then glares menacingly, declaring, "You won't be able to walk out of here alive..." He raises his hands, forming his signature hand gesture to shoot a beam, shouting, "Noro Noro B..." Luffy looks surprised as Foxy prepares the attack. However, before Foxy can unleash the beam, Luffy stretches his arm back and delivers a powerful "Gomu Gomu Hook!" punch directly to Foxy's face. The impact sends Foxy flying backward with a loud "UGYAAAAH!!"

Luffy grins confidently, holding up his boxing gloves, and tells Foxy, "I'm going to break your hand... so you can't do the beam thing!!" Foxy, holding his bruised face in pain, replies, "Oh, really now?" Foxy quickly retreats, dashing back into the thick smoke with a laugh, "Fueheheheh..." Luffy looks surprised, "Huh!?" as someone notes, "Gah! He went back into the smoke!" Unfazed, Luffy stretches his arm deep into the smoke, yelling, "I can see you, dumbass! Take that!" His punch lands with a loud creak. Luffy looks confused, "Eh?" and pulls his fist back, realizing he hit a wooden cutout of Foxy. "What!? It's fake!" he exclaims.

As Luffy realizes he hit a fake, Foxy suddenly appears behind him, aiming his hands. "Noro Noro Beam!!" Foxy shouts. Luffy turns in surprise, yelling "Wah!" but the beam misses him and instead hits another wooden cutout of Foxy that pops up from the deck. Foxy laughs, "Fueheheheh..." as Luffy looks on, "Ah!" The smoke clears slightly, revealing dozens of Foxy cutouts scattered all over the deck. Foxy's voice echoes from hiding, taunting Luffy: "Fuehehehehe... So, tell me, rubberboy.. where's the next beam gonna come from? Where will the beam shoot from!?" Luffy looks around at the numerous cutouts and yells back angrily, "How should I know, dumbass? Every target's got the same ugly haircut!"

Hiding behind one of the wooden cutouts, Foxy is visibly devastated by Luffy's "ugly haircut" comment. He slumps over in despair, muttering, "..ugly haircut.." with a sound effect indicating his heart breaking. Luffy spots him and delivers a swift, hard punch directly to Foxy's face, yelling "Gotcha!!" Foxy whimpers in pain as he is struck. Recovering quickly, Foxy looks furious. He equips a pair of roller skates and glares at Luffy, shouting, "You cold-blooded cheap scum!! I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Luffy stands ready in his boxing stance, calmly replying, "Go ahead."

Foxy points behind Luffy with a shocked expression, yelling, "Look! A three-headed monkey!" Luffy, confused, turns around to look, saying "Eh?" Seizing the opportunity, Foxy pulls out a spiked bat and smacks Luffy hard on the back of the head with a loud "GAKON!!" Luffy falls forward with a cry of pain, "Wah!!" Foxy laughs triumphantly, "Fueh fueh fueh fueh!! Hah, sucker!" and skates away. Luffy gets up, furious, yelling, "Ouch!! Damn! It was a trap!! Grrr! There was no monkey, you lying bastard!!" Foxy skates towards a door on the ship, taunting Luffy over his shoulder, "Blame your own stupidity!! Fueh fueh." Luffy glares after him.

Luffy angrily chases after Foxy, but suddenly the floorboards beneath his feet start moving rapidly like a treadmill, carrying him backward towards the edge of the ship. "What the... What is this!?" Luffy yells as he struggles to keep his balance. "Wah! The floor is moving!!" The Straw Hats watch in panic from the sidelines. Nami and Chopper scream, "Wah!! It's Luffy!! What's he doing?! If he falls into the sea, he's done for!" Just as he is about to be carried off the edge, Luffy leaps high into the air, declaring, "I won't... fall!!" He lands safely back on the solid deck, panting, "Hah! Heh... Heh..."

The crowd cheers wildly at Luffy's narrow escape. "So close!" they yell, laughing "Gyahahaha!!" and shouting, "The fight goes on! This is exciting! Give it your best, Straw Hat!" Luffy stands on the deck, looking towards the large door Foxy entered, muttering, "Man... this ship is evil! It's full of traps! Where did he go? Foxy!!" Foxy's voice echoes from inside the ship, taunting Luffy. The announcers note, "Luffy, after escaping death... is falling for boss' taunt... The interior of the ship is boss' backyard!" Foxy challenges Luffy, "Will you accept the challenge, Straw Hat Luffy?" Luffy glares at the open doorway, realizing, "He's in there..."

Luffy charges towards the open door without hesitation. Nami yells for him to stop, warning, "Luffy! No! It's a trap! They must have even more traps inside!!" Luffy ignores her, angrily declaring, "Bastard! I'm gonna torture him. I'm gonna crucify him. Real bad." A wide shot shows the Sexy Foxy ship as the announcers narrate, "Straw Hat Luffy charges in without a second thought! The fight has moved to inside the ship! Now not even I can see what is going on!! This is the true duel!!" In the stands, Usopp stands up, yelling enthusiastically, "It's a one on one fight to the finish!! Stand up! Stand up Luffy!! Think of our training!!" Sanji kicks Usopp in the back of the head, telling him, "Shut up and sit down. You're blocking my view!"

Inside the ship, Luffy walks down a wooden corridor, panting, "Heh... heh... Where is he?" He enters a massive room filled with cannons, barrels, and various weapons. "This must be the cannon room... It's so big! Usopp would love this..." Luffy remarks as he looks around. Suddenly, Foxy's voice echoes from another room. "Fueh fueh... come after me... Come after me if you dare!!" Foxy taunts. He is shown standing in a room filled with sharp spikes on the floor and walls. "Then... in this room of blades... you'll become a quill rat!!" Luffy spots Foxy through a doorway and yells, "Ahah!! He's in there!!"

Foxy fires a cannon from inside the spiked room. The cannonball explodes violently right next to Luffy, sending debris flying. Luffy is shocked, "What!?" and cries out, "Ah!" Foxy peeks out from behind the door, saying "Ah... peek-a-boo..." Luffy, annoyed and in pain, yells at him, "Aaah!! Pain! It hurts!! How dare you use a cannon that is in another person's ship!!? That's not funny!! Waaah. What kind of room is that!?" Foxy prepares to attack again. Luffy charges towards the door, furious, yelling, "Are you trying to kill me!!?" Foxy panics, realizing Luffy is attacking, "Ah! He's attacking!!"

Foxy runs away, heading up a small set of stairs and slamming a door labeled "INFIRMARY" behind him. Luffy chases him, yelling, "You'll regret that, ass!! Hold it!! Ah! Running away again!?" Luffy bursts through the infirmary door, demanding, "Hold it right there!!" Inside, he wonders, "What's this room? Infirmary? What kinda room is that!?" Foxy's voice mutters, "Heh... heh... That brat doesn't know anything... Foxy~~~ Morph!!! (Shichihenge!!)" Inside the room, instead of Foxy, Luffy finds a large, strange-looking woman with pigtails and heavy makeup sitting at a desk. It's clearly Foxy in a terrible disguise. The "nurse" asks Luffy, "Who are you? Ah!? How are you feeling? Anything wrong? Your head, maybe? Is something wrong with your head?" Luffy stares at her, completely confused, "Huh?"

Luffy stands in the infirmary, looking at the disguised Foxy. He asks, "Hm... Hey, did anyone come in here?" The "nurse" replies, "Nope. There's nobody here except me... Do you need something?" Luffy walks out, closing the door behind him. In the hallway, he pauses, thinking, "Weird... I'm sure he... Ah! That woman looked a lot like that guy...!!" He suddenly comes to a realization and bursts back into the room, yelling, "Hey!! Are you... his sister...!?" As he opens the door, Foxy, now wearing a fox mask and spiked boxing gloves, punches Luffy squarely in the face, shouting "Counter Fox Blow!!" Luffy is knocked back with a "Gyaaah!!"

Luffy is knocked backward by the punch, groaning in pain, "Guh!! Uwuuh! What's this!?" Foxy laughs triumphantly, "Fuehhehehe!! Bull's eye!!" Foxy then runs out of the room and down the hall, entering another door labeled "KITCHEN". Luffy recovers, holding his face, and chases after him, noting, "He came out from that room!! Heh... What is he trying to do!? Oh! Kitchen!" Luffy enters the kitchen and finds a large chef with a mustache chopping food. It's Foxy in another obvious disguise, singing, "Hnh hnh fishy, fishy. Turn into sashimi. Sour and sweet, one bite after another.." The "chef" turns to Luffy and asks, "Eh... what's up?"

Luffy angrily yells at the "chef", asking, "Did you see that stupid Foxy guy with head split in two?" The chef replies, "That's so rude..." Luffy suddenly realizes it's Foxy and yells, "It's you!!" Foxy drops the disguise, revealing, "The woman in the infirmary was me, too!!" Luffy is genuinely shocked by this revelation, "Eh!? Really!?" Foxy quickly fires a "Noro Noro Beam!" hitting Luffy point-blank. Luffy is enveloped in the slowing energy. Realizing he's caught, Luffy mutters, "Oh... crap..." Foxy prepares his next attack, shouting "Nine-Tail Rush!!"

With Luffy slowed down by the Noro Noro Beam, Foxy unleashes a rapid flurry of punches on him. Foxy pants heavily, "Ze... Zee... Fueh fueh fueh... You're wrong if you thought I ran around randomly!?" He then walks over to a large, heavy-looking door and opens it. "On the other side of this door... you will soon fly in there..." Foxy says, standing before the dark opening. He warns Luffy, "Something horrible awaits you.. It isn't living of course. Fueh fueh... otherwise... it would be against the rules." A small text box notes, "Now he's following the rules?"
