COMBAT !!!

Luffy and Usopp stand with their mouths wide open in absolute shock and awe, yelling, "WOW~~!!" Text on the side reads, "THE REASON FOR LUFFY'S OUTFIT!!" In the next panel, Foxy leads them into a large room filled with weapons, armor, and clothing racks. Foxy explains, "The combatants are required to wear gloves. Aside from that... you can dress up however you like." Usopp looks around excitedly, "Awesome!!" Luffy adds, "Looks more like a dressing room!" Usopp asks, "The resting room... What are these things for!?" In the bottom left, Foxy turns around wearing a large afro wig and a fake mustache, asking, "...How does this look?" Luffy and Usopp are completely blown away, screaming with stars in their eyes, "WOW! YOU LOOK SO COOL~~!!!" On the right, Usopp notices something off-panel and says, "Hm? Luffy..."

Usopp, now wearing a fake mustache and an afro wig himself, points a finger and seriously explains to Luffy, "Luffy!! If you wear this afro, your punch will become stronger! Nonetheless, the strength found in blacks is still a scientific mystery today." Luffy listens intently, sweating slightly. Usopp continues, "It is said that 'The champs are blacks...' or is it 'Blacks are champs...' This hair style will awaken your deepest latent primal powers." Luffy asks in amazement, "Really, Usopp!?" In the middle panel, Foxy and his crew watch the display. Foxy chuckles, "Fueh fueh. Interesting..." Usopp yells, "Hell yeah!!" Luffy adds, "Wow! You even talk differently!!" In the large bottom panel, Luffy is fully dressed in his new boxing gear: an afro, boxing gloves, and shorts with a skull and crossbones design on his chest. He raises his gloved hands to the sky, shouting, "Hell yeah~~~!!!" Usopp stands proudly beside him with his arms crossed, while the Foxy Pirates cheer in the background.

Luffy stands ready in his afro and boxing gear, looking fierce. Usopp, acting as his coach with a towel draped over his head and a jacket, yells enthusiastically, "Alright~~!! The fight is about to begin!!! I'm Luffy's coach!! Open your eyes... for the golden right punch!!!" Luffy agrees, "Yeah!!" Usopp shouts, "Ring the bell already!!" Below them, Foxy is shown cracking his neck, wearing his own boxing gloves and suspenders. He smirks, "Fueh fueh. Interesting... Even though you're my enemy, I have to compliment you on it. Straw Hat is looking good!!" The announcer's voice booms over the speakers, "Both combatants are in the battlefield!!"

The Straw Hat crew reacts to Luffy's new look. Robin smiles gently, "Heehee. I think he looks fine." Nami sweats, sipping a drink, "Can't he be more serious?" Sanji yells passionately, "Hell yeah! I'm burning up, bro!!." Chopper looks amazed with stars in his eyes. Zoro looks annoyed, muttering, "Who died and made Usopp the coach..." In the middle panel, Foxy points aggressively at Luffy, "I suggest that you start digging your grave, you'll need it after the fight!" The announcer declares, "Alright! All seconds out of the ring." Usopp protests, "Hold on! I'm not finished yet!!" The crowd yells, "Seconds, get out! Yeah!! Kick ass!!!" The bottom panel shows a wide view of Foxy's massive ship. The announcer explains the rules: "I will now repeat the rules. The battlefield is our ship.. That is... the entire main deck and every room under it! All the action will take place there! The field also includes the terrain in the 100m radius of the ship's mast!! Lastly, there is no time limit!!!"

The announcer continues, "The audience stand... rose up!! Now only the two contestants are on the field!!" Foxy raises his arms in victory, shouting, "Yeah~~~~~!!! One point wins the game!" A wide shot shows the ship's deck with the audience stands elevated high on the sides, leaving the main deck clear for the fight. Foxy tells Luffy, "Fuehehehe... Straw Hat Luffy!! The entire ship is part of the battlefield. Fight however you want! Don't worry if you break anything, we have plenty of ship mechanics." Luffy confidently replies, "Okay!!" In the bottom panel, the Straw Hats cheer for their captain. Sanji yells, "Go, boss!!!" Zoro smirks, "Straw Hat, nice outfit, but... you're still going down!" Nami shouts, "Luffy!! Win!!! You have to win!!!" Chopper warns him, "Be careful of his beam attack!!!"

The announcer hypes up the crowd, "The excitement level is at its peek!! Will they lose or acquire a crew member? There is no turning back now!! Davy Back Fight! Final round!" A split panel shows intense close-ups of Luffy and Foxy glaring at each other. The announcer declares, "Foxy the Silver Fox!! VS Straw Hat Luffy!! The clash between two captains!! The fate of their crews is in their hands!! Let the game..." A loud gong sounds with a massive "KAN~~~~!!!" sound effect. The announcer screams, "---BE--- ---GIN~~~!!" Luffy and Foxy stand on the deck, ready to clash as the fight officially starts.

Luffy immediately charges forward, winding up a punch. Foxy looks slightly surprised, "Oh!! Com'on!!" Luffy yells, "Gomu Gomu.." Foxy smirks, "Fueheheh..." Luffy throws his punch, "..Pistol!!" but Foxy quickly counters by firing a beam from his hand, shouting, "'Noro Noro' Beam!!!" The beam hits Luffy's extending arm. In the bottom left panel, Luffy's arm is caught in the beam's effect, moving forward at an agonizingly slow pace with "Noro... Noro..." sound effects. Luffy looks shocked, exclaiming, "What...!!" In the background, Nami and Chopper panic, screaming, "Oh no!!!"

Luffy's arm continues to extend in slow motion. Foxy laughs mockingly, "Fueheheheh!!" Luffy realizes, "My punch became so slow!!" Foxy easily steps aside to dodge the slow-moving fist, laughing, "Fueheheh." Luffy struggles to pull his arm back, gritting his teeth, "G...!! It won't come back!!" Foxy taunts him, "What!? The harder you hit, the harder you trip!!" In the bottom panel, Foxy casually stands on top of Luffy's slowly extending arm. Foxy says, "'Noro Noro'..." while Luffy looks up at him in shock and frustration.

Foxy jumps high into the air off of Luffy's arm, doing a flip and saying, "Just kidding!!" Luffy looks up, confused, "Huh!?" As Foxy lands, he immediately fires another beam at Luffy, shouting, "'Noro Noro' Beam!!!" The Foxy Pirates cheer wildly from the stands, "Hahaha, that guy is weak!! Fuck him up, boss!!" Zoro yells a warning from the sidelines, "Luffy!! I told you to watch out!!"

Luffy is hit by the beam mid-air and begins falling to the deck in extreme slow motion. He slowly says, "Why~~~ won't~ I~~~ fall~~~" Foxy watches him, taunting, "Enjoying the moment, Straw Hat Luffy?" Chopper cries out in admiration, "Luffy is so cool~~~!!!" Zoro observes, "Even the falling speed decreased..." Foxy winds up his fists, chuckling, "Fueh fueh." Luffy, still falling slowly, asks, "What're~ you~~~ Foxy... doing~~~" In a massive flurry of motion, Foxy unleashes a rapid barrage of punches directly into Luffy's slowly falling body, screaming, "RUSH!!"

Foxy continues his relentless barrage of punches, yelling, "RUSH!! RUSH!! RUSH!!" He finishes the combo with a twisting punch to Luffy's face, calling out, "*Twist* *High Scale Twist*". Luffy's face is comically distorted by the slow-motion impact. Watching from the stands, Zoro notices something, "...Huh? No effect from his punches!?" Sanji explains, "No. The beam probably also made it slower, too..." Foxy steps back, panting and smiling, "Fueheheheh! That felt good!!" Luffy, still caught in slow motion, slowly speaks, "Damn~~~ you~~~ My punches will add up and become effective soon. You're done for even if you are a rubber man!!" Foxy begins to count down, "3... 2... 1..."

Foxy declares, "That's 30 seconds!" A loud "DING!!!" sound effect rings out. Suddenly, the accumulated force of all of Foxy's punches hits Luffy simultaneously. Luffy is violently launched across the deck, screaming "Waaaaaaah!!!" Foxy laughs triumphantly, "Fueheheheh!!!" Luffy crashes hard into the ship's cabin structure. Chopper panics, realizing the mechanics, "All the hits take effect at once after 30 seconds!!" Nami cries out, "He'll fall into the sea like that!" Sanji yells, "Luffy~~~!!!" In the bottom panel, Luffy manages to grab the edge of the ship's railing just in time to stop himself from falling into the ocean, grunting, "Gr... Hah!!"

Luffy pulls himself back onto the deck, panting heavily. The Foxy Pirates cheer, "Ooooh!!! Look! His arm stretched!!" Foxy observes, "Interesting! So that's the power of Gomu Gomu Fruit!!" Luffy glares at Foxy, thinking to himself, "Damn! It's stronger than I thought... That 'Noro Noro' Beam!! Is it beam? I better not stretch too much!!" Enraged, Luffy charges forward again, yelling, "Grr!! I'm pissed off now!! Aaaaah!!! Come out, broom head!!!" The announcer's voice booms, "Ooh!! The final round, Combat, has barely begun!! Our boss' flawless combo attack totally knocked Straw Hat down!! It's firing up!"

Luffy sprints across the deck, but suddenly stops in his tracks as several sharp wooden spikes and arrows shoot out from the floorboards directly in front of him. He is caught off guard and hit by the traps, yelling "Wah!!" as he tumbles forward. Foxy stands further down the deck, laughing menacingly, "Fueh fueh fueh. Welcome back to my ship! Ah! There you are!! Stay right there!!" Luffy looks up from the ground, battered and frustrated.

Foxy is shown casually standing on top of a cannonball that is suspended in mid-air. Luffy looks shocked, "He's standing on a cannonball!? How come..." Foxy explains, "Did he use Noro Noro Beam on it!? If he can stand on it, I can, too!!" Luffy jumps up and lands on another suspended cannonball. Foxy smirks, "Ah. I forgot to tell you. 30 seconds just passed... for that one." Suddenly, the cannonball Luffy is standing on resumes its normal speed and shoots forward. Luffy loses his balance, yelling, "Wah!! Eh!?" Foxy points to another cannonball, "Ah! That one, too. Damn it!!" Luffy falls backward as the cannonballs fly chaotically around him.

Luffy is struck by one of the flying cannonballs and sent crashing across the deck, screaming "Aaah!! Iyaaaaaah~~!!" Foxy laughs, "Fueheheh, it's so nice of me to warn you!" Luffy hits the ground hard, creating a cloud of smoke and debris. He thinks to himself, "Damn... him...!! He's so cocky because we're on his ship..." Foxy chuckles, "Fueh fueh." In the bottom panel, Foxy throws a large bomb shaped exactly like his own head towards Luffy, yelling, "'Noro Noro' Foxy-Face Bomb!!!"

A whole line of Foxy-face bombs flies towards Luffy. Luffy looks terrified, screaming, "What the heck is that!?" He looks closer at the incoming projectiles, confused. "Eh? Why was the bomb talking? Bombs!? Aren't they dangerous!? These are bombs!! They're a little bigger than the one I bought... Hm? Aren't these the pins..." Suddenly, one of the "bombs" reveals itself to be the real Foxy, who violently headbutts Luffy directly in the face. Foxy yells, "Idiot!! Because I'm the real Foxy head!!"

The smoke clears slightly. Foxy stands over Luffy, laughing, "Fuehehehehe~~~!!" Luffy is covered in dark soot, coughing and rubbing his eyes. Foxy says, "Excuse me, Straw Hat Luffy. I... enhanced my boxing glove." Nami watches anxiously, asking, "Oh? You can see them, Usopp? What are you doing, Luffy!!?" Usopp yells instructions, "Luffy, punch him in the stomach!!!" Foxy casually mentions, "By the way, 30-seconds is almost up... for the bombs." Luffy panics, "Damn... Damn it!! I can't see anything! What's happening?" In the bottom panel, a massive explosion engulfs the entire ship. The announcer screams, "Amazing~~~ All the bombs hit head on~~~!!! Foxy is winning big time~~~!!!"
