Donut Race

Chapter 306 title page. The title reads "CHAPTER 306 DONUT RACE". The illustration shows Luffy and Chopper flying high above the trees on a makeshift kite constructed from a large piece of cloth and wooden poles.

Usopp yells at Luffy, pointing an accusing finger at him, "I SAID NOT TO AGREE TO HIS GAME!!!" Luffy looks back, confused, "WHAT IS IT, USOP!?" Usopp continues, "THE TERRIFYING GAMBLE THAT YOU LOOSE YOUR FRIEND IN." In the background, Tonjit stands near his injured horse. Foxy, Porche, and Hamburg laugh triumphantly at Luffy's acceptance. Hamburg chuckles, "HEH!! HEHEH! HEHEHEHE...!!!" Porche adds, "YES, BOSS. I HEARD HIM, TOO. THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF IT NOW." Foxy declares loudly, "STRAW HAT LUFFY ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE!! IT'S TOO LATE, FOOL. I HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR. HOHO HOHO! FEH FEH!!! RIGHT? PORCH!?" Porche confirms, "NO WAY OUT!"

Usopp continues to panic, waving his arms, "IDIOT, DON'T FALL FOR HIS TRAP!!!" Luffy yells back angrily, "OF COURSE NOT!!!" Foxy taunts him, "WANT TO GO BACK ON YOUR WORDS... UNLESS... YOU ARE NOT A MAN AND..." Luffy angrily retorts, "NO, OLD MAN!!! I WILL RETURN THE PAIN THEY GAVE SHERRY RIGHT NOW!!!! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, BOTH OF YOU!!" Tonjit tries to calm him down, "DON'T WORRY, SHE'LL HEAL! SHERRY~~~..." Luffy insists, "BUT HE DID THAT TO THE HORSE!!!" Luffy prepares to fire his slingshot at Foxy's crew, "OLD GUY!!! DON'T DO IT, THEY ARE PIRATES!!!" Chopper cries as he treats the horse, "HU-EH... HUEH...!! HANG ON... THE BULLET IS ALMOST OUT..." Tonjit weeps loudly, "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY ROYAL SHERRY...!!!"

Nami looks confused and asks, "DAVY BACK FIGHT?" A massive pirate ship, the Sexy Foxy, is shown in the background, looming over the landscape. Foxy's crew members explain the situation, "...THE CAPTAINS FROM BOTH SHIPS AGREE TO IT. YES. THE GAME BEGINS WHEN... TO YOUR CAPTAIN AS WE SPEAK. OUR CAPTAIN IS PROPOSING THE GAME..."

Sanji, smoking a cigarette, explains to Nami, "'DAVY BACK FIGHT' IS A GAMBLING GAME PLAYED BETWEEN PIRATES. UH... HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE? THIS ISN'T JUST A FIGHT." Zoro adds, "WE NEVER TURN DOWN A FIGHT ANYWAYS!! 'PROPOSING...?' WHY BOTHER?" Robin continues the explanation, "MANY PIRATE GROUPS HAVE BEEN USING IT TO ACQUIRE GOOD CREWS. IT'S THE WAY PIRATE GROUPS FIGHT OVER PIRATES. THAT IS CORRECT. ACCORDING TO LEGEND, THE GAME WAS INVENTED... A LONG TIME AGO IN THE 'PIRATE'S PARADISE ISLAND.'" Foxy points at them and declares, "THE FORMAT WE USE IS THE 3-COINS RULE. DAVY BACK FIGHT IS THE 'CONTEST FOR HUMAN RESOURCES!!!' YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A PIRATE?" Robin confirms, "GROUPS FIGHTING OVER PIRATES...?" Nami realizes the implications, "THAT MEANS 3 ROUNDS PER GAME!!" Robin nods, "YES."

Foxy's crew explains the stakes of the game. "THE CHOSEN CREW MUST THEN SWEAR ROYALTY TO THE WINNING CAPTAIN!!! HE WILL DO SO IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT DAVY JONES!!! MAY PICK ONE CREW FROM THE LOSER'S TEAM. THE VICTOR OF EACH GAME... THE WINNER MAY CHOOSE TO TAKE THE LOSER'S PIRATE FLAG. LASTLY, IF THERE IS NO DESIRABLE CREW LEFT IN THE LOOSING TEAM," Nami looks shocked as a pirate flag is shown falling to the ground. "THAT'S RIGHT!!! IF YOU LOOSE THE GAME, YOU LOOSE YOUR FRIEND!!!" Sanji continues, "SO THAT OTHER SHIP... THE ONE WE SAW ON OUR WAY HERE... IT HAD NO SAIL... NOR WAS THERE A CAPTAIN... IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS GAME...!!! IN THIS GAME YOU ANTE UP YOUR FRIENDS AND PRIDE. IF YOU WIN, YOU GROW STRONGER. IF YOU LOOSE YOU CAN FALL AND NEVER GET BACK UP AGAIN..."

Foxy's crew cheers loudly, "WUOOOH~~!! LONG LIVE FOXY'S PIRATES!!!" Foxy gestures to a group of diverse pirates standing behind him, "LOOK, THESE ARE THE NEW CREWS WE GOT. THEY WERE THE LOOSER OF THE PREVIOUS GAMES!!" Someone in the crowd says, "OH! YOU MUST MEAN THE 'BIG FANG FROG' PIRATES." Foxy explains, "SO WE TOOK FOUR CREWS AND THEIR FLAG. THEY PLAYED '3-COINS' AND LOST FIVE TIMES," The acquired crew members introduce themselves: "I WAS THE SHIP-MECHANIC. I WAS THE NAVIGATOR. I WAS THE DOCTOR." Kibagaeru, the former captain, cries, "I WON'T DENY IT. I WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE FROGS." Nami is disgusted by the display, "WE WILL NEVER PLAY SUCH A LAME GAME!!!... THAT'S SO FOOLISH AND MEANINGLESS." Foxy's crew laughs mockingly, "YEAH!!! HAHA HAHAH WE LITERALLY STRIPPED THEM OF EVERYTHING THEY HAD!"

Foxy grins confidently, "THE GAME WILL PROCEED AS LONG AS THE CAPTAINS FROM BOTH SIDES AGREE TO IT!! IDIOT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF A CREW LIKE YOU REJECTS. YOU WILL ALL BECOME THE ANTE OF THE GAMBLE. AS SOON AS YOUR CAPTAIN, MONKEY D LUFFY, NODS HIS HEAD. YOU CAN CRY. YOU CAN SCREAM, BUT..." Robin smiles slightly, "SO? LET THEM LAUGH. WHO CARES!?" Sanji adds, "IF YOU RUN AWAY OR PLAY TRICKS YOU WILL BECOME THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. NO MATTER HOW FOOLISH IT SOUNDS..." Zoro finishes, "IT CAN'T BE HELPED NAMI-CHAN... THIS IS THE 'LAW' OF THE SEA..."

Foxy declares, "YOU'RE TOO LATE. WHEN THE CAPTAINS FIRE THEIR GUNS ONE AFTER ANOTHER, THE GAME STARTS." Nami panics, "FINE!!! THEN WE HAVE TO STOP LUFFY NOW!!!" Robin says calmly, "GIVE IT A REST... MEN ARE ALWAYS LIKE THAT..." Nami yells at Zoro and Sanji, "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!" Sanji agrees with Zoro, "ME, TOO." Zoro says, "I DO. I WOULD RATHER DIE." Suddenly, a loud gunshot rings out: "SFX: DON DOON!! (BANG BANG)". Nami gasps in shock, "AH!!?" Zoro notes, "IT SHOULD COME ANY MOMENTS NOW..." Foxy's ship is shown with smoke rising from it, indicating a shot was fired.

Robin smiles, "INTERESTING..." Zoro smirks, "PERFECT..." Sanji exhales smoke, "HE ACCEPTED IT..." Nami is horrified, "THAT MEANS....!!!?" Foxy's crew erupts in cheers, "ACCEPTED~~~!!! CHALLENGE..." Luffy fires his pistol into the air, yelling, "IDIOT!!! IDIOT!!! IDIOT!!!" Foxy's crew laughs mockingly at him, "WAHAHA~~~ HOHOHO~~~ YAHAHAHA~~ PEH!! PEH!! PEH!!"

Luffy points at Foxy, "YEAH! I'M GOING TO KICK YOU ASS!!!" Foxy smirks, "ALL RIGHT. THE GAME HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!!! ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WIN...!!" Usopp grabs Luffy in a panic, "WHY DID YOU ACCEPT!!! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE HORROR OF THIS GAME!!!" Foxy chuckles, "HEHE. ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN DO THAT!?" Luffy retorts, "DON'T LAUGH, HAMBOG!!!" Foxy suddenly drops to his knees, deeply depressed by the insult, "PU... PU... PUH.... PUH...!!!" Porche yells at Luffy, "YOU LITTLE BRAT!! HOW COULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING! BOSS IS VERY SENSITIVE!!!! BOSS!!!" Luffy calls him, "2-PIECE... HEAD... OF COURSE I CAN, YOU 2-PIECE HEAD!!!" Usopp tries to reason, "LUFFY, I KNOW YOU ARE PISSED FOR WHAT THEY DID TO THE HORSE, BUT..." Foxy instantly recovers, looking sinister again, "I'LL SHOW YOU...!!!" Luffy yells, "LEAVE IT TO ME!!" Usopp is shocked by Foxy's quick recovery, "YOU SURE RECOVER FAST!!!" Tonjit and Chopper cheer for Luffy, "PLEASE AVENGE OUR PAIN!! HI HIN"

Fireworks explode in the sky: "SFX: DON!! DON!! DON!!". Foxy's crew quickly sets up a festival atmosphere with food stalls and decorations. "SHUT UP!!!!! HAHA HA!!! THE INITIATION CEREMONY WILL BEGIN SOON. PLEASE BE QUIET. PORK CHOPS AND HAMBURGERS, TOO!!! HOT DOGS! GET YOUR HOT DOGS HERE!! WILL THE CONTESTANTS PLEASE COME TO THE STAGE!! GIMME SOME HOT SAUCE!!!" Tonjit cries, "OLD MAAAAN....!!! HI HIN!!" Luffy is excited by the food, "GIVE ME 2 PLEASE. ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE THE 2-PIECE HEAD'S CREW!? THERE ARE SO MANY... WOW! IT'S GETTING REALLY INTERESTING... HURRY! IT'S STARTING!!"

Porche stands on a stage with a microphone, "I WILL NOW STATE THE RULES OF THE GAME!!!" The crowd cheers, "YEY! PORCH-CHAN!!!" She continues, "ALLL RIGHT, SCUMS!! BE QUIET!!! MUST SWEAR ROYALTY TO THE WINNING TEAM IMMEDIATELY!!! RULE #2: THE PERSON CHOSEN IN THE ENDGAME... MAY ONLY BE REACQUIRED THROUGH ANOTHER DAVY BACK FIGHT. RULE #1: THE CREWS AND FLAGS LOST IN A DAVY BACK FIGHT... ANYONE WHO DISGRACES ANY OF THE RULES WILL BE SACRIFICED TO DAVY JONES!!! DO YOU SWEAR TO HONOR THESE RULES?" Sanji offers Nami food, "STOP MUMBLING, NAMI. NAMI-CHAN~~~ THEY SELL COTTON CANDY HERE!!" Nami yells at him, "WHY DO YOU ALL ACT LIKE THIS IS NO BIG DEAL?" Porche finishes, "RULE #3: THE PIRATE FLAG THAT IS TAKEN AWAY MAY NEVER BE USED AGAIN!!!"

Luffy, eating a large piece of meat, says, "I SWEAR!" Foxy grins widely, "I DO." Foxy holds up three coins, "SEE THESE COINS!?" He tosses them into the ocean. The crowd roars, "WUOOOOH!!!" Foxy declares, "THIS OFFICIAL GAME UNDER THE 3-COIN RULE WILL COMMENCE NOW. I AM REPORTING TO THE GREAT DAVY JONES THAT..."

Robin explains the legend, "IT'S A LEGEND... HE ALSO TAKES ALL THE... SHIPS AND TREASURE THAT SINK TO THE SEA FLOOR" Chopper asks, "HE IS LIVING UNDER THE SEA?" Robin replies, "HE IS A CURSED PIRATE FROM ANCIENT TIME THAT LIVES UNDER THE SEA." Usopp asks, "WHO'S DAVY JONES?" Nami says, "SO THEY NAMED THE GAME 'DAVY BACK FIGHT.'" Sanji adds, "JUST LIKE HOW THE WINNER TAKES WHAT HE LIKES FROM THE LOOSER." Zoro says, "DAVY TAKES WHATEVER HE LIKES FROM THE SEA..." Chopper shivers, "IT MUST BE A SCARY PLACE UNDER THE SEA...!!" Foxy looks at the Straw Hats, evaluating them, "SO SWEET!! AH... I'LL TAKE THAT ONE AFTER ALL~~~!!! HM... WHICH ONE SHOULD I TAKE FIRST...? A COOK, A DOCTOR, AND A ARCHEOLOGISTS...? A MONKEY, A SWORDSMAN, A NAVIGATOR, A SNIPER, HM~~~ FUFUFUF.... YES, THAT ONE WILL DO NICELY!!" Porche asks him, "ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SOMEONE IN PARTICULAR, BOSS?"

Sanji explains the team rules, "EACH PERSON MAY PLAY NO MORE THAN ONE ROUND. YOU MAY NOT CHANGE THE GROUPING ONCE THE GAME STARTS." Zoro replies, "I KNEW THAT. GET OUT OF HERE." Sanji continues, "EXACTLY 7 PEOPLE FROM EACH TEAM WILL PARTICIPATE IN GAME." Luffy looks at Foxy's massive crew, "THAT'S SO NICE, SO MANY CREWS..." Usopp yells, "HEY! YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE RULES RIGHT? THE GAMES ARE RACING, SPORTS, AND COMBAT." Nami complains, "WHY WOULD WE WANT SOMEONE FROM THAT KIND OF PIRATE GROUP!!?" Luffy says, "WHEN WE WIN, WE CAN GET A SHIP REPAIRMAN, TOO!!" Nami and Usopp angrily strangle Luffy, "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! DAMN YOU!!!" Luffy chokes out, "GUYS!! ALL WE NEED TO DO IS WIN!!" Usopp worries, "HEY, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE LOOSE. THEY'LL TAKE ME, THE GREAT CAPTAIN USOP FOR SURE." Nami adds, "NO, THEY WILL TAKE ME BECAUSE I AM SO CUTE..." Robin says, "IT'S DECIDED THEN. I'LL TURN IN OUR LISTING." Sanji argues with Zoro, "NO. LET ME! MY LEGS ARE ITCHY ALREADY!" Luffy yells, "WHAT!!? NO! I WANT TO FIGHT!!!" Zoro says, "I'LL TAKE COMBAT."

The matchups are displayed on boards. The first board reads: "CONTESTANTS: USOP, NAMI, NICO ROBIN". Robin says, "IF IT'S SEVEN PEOPLE, EVERYONE NEEDS TO PARTICIPATE." Nami sighs, "I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, NEITHER, BUT YOU NEED TOUGHEN UP!!" Usopp trembles, "ACTUALLY, I JUST REMEMBERED THAT I HAVE THE 'DIES-IF-ENTERS-A-BOAT-RACE SYNDROME...'" The board reads "ROUND 1: DONUT RACE". The next board: "CONTESTANTS: ZORO, SANJI, CHOPPER". Chopper cheers, "I'LL DO MY BEST!!" Sanji and Zoro glare at each other, "THAT'S MY LINE!! DON'T GET IN THE WAY." The board reads "ROUND 2: GROGGY RING". The final board: "CONTESTANT: MONKEY D LUFFY". Luffy screams excitedly, "YEAH~~~~~~!!!!" The board reads "ROUND 3: COMBAT".

The announcer, Itomimizu, rides a large bird, Chuchun. "YOU ARE GIVEN 2 OARS AND 3 BARRELS TO MAKE YOUR CANOE. YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED IF YOU USE EXTRA MATERIALS!! IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE SHIP MECHANICS' SKILLS! FIRST UP, IT'S THE OBSTACLE COURSE AROUND THE ISLE, DONUTS RACE!! I WILL BROADCAST THE RACE FROM THE AIR WITH MY SUPER SPARROW OF THE SOUTH SEA, GIGIN!!!" Chuchun chirps, "CHI CHI". Itomimizu continues, "NOW FOR THE SELF-INTRODUCTION, I AM THE PARTY-CAPTAIN OF THE FOXY PIRATES, SLIM TIM!!" Foxy's crew members comment on the Straw Hats, "HEY~~ THAT ORANGE GIRL IS CUTE!! I WANT TO PLAY WITH THAT DARK HAIR CHICK!! OF COURSE WE WON'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT MALE. NOPE. NOT HIM." Usopp, Nami, and Robin are on a flimsy boat made of three barrels tied together. Usopp says, "IT'LL PROBABLY SINK." Nami yells, "I TOLD YOU I'M NOT A SHIP-MECHANIC!!!" Robin smiles, "THIS WON'T SINK... WILL IT?" Itomimizu announces, "NOW, INTRODUCING THE STRAW HAT TEAM. THEY'RE NAMI, THE NAVIGATOR, USOP, THE SNIPER, AND NICO ROBIN, THE ARCHEOLOGIST!! THE BOAT THEY WILL USE IS CALLED 'BARREL TIGER!!!'"

Foxy's team is introduced. They are riding a sleek, shark-shaped boat. "IN ASSISTANCE ARE KAPOUTI THE SWORDFISH AND MOUNDA THE STAR-SHARK!!" The crowd cheers, "OOOOOH!!! WE'LL WIN BY A HUGE MARGIN!!!" Itomimizu announces, "THEIR SHIP IS THE CUTIE WAGON~~~!!!" Porche waves, "OO~~~ LEAVE IT TO ME". Itomimizu continues, "AND NOW, REPRESENTING TEAM FOXY... SHE IS OUR SWEETHEART, PORCH!!!" Luffy cheers from the sidelines, "KICK THEIR ASS~~~~~!!!" Foxy's crew cheers, "BURRY THEM, PORCH HONEY~~~~!!!" Usopp complains, "YES. SO? THERE IS NO RULE THAT DISALLOWS FISH CREW! HOLD ON A SECOND... THEY HAVE A FISH ON THEIR TEAM!!" Nami glares at Porche, "BRING IT ON!!!" Itomimizu yells, "BOTH TEAM, GET READY~~~~!!!!" Porche glares back at Nami, "I WILL MAKE YOU SINK."
