ROUGH GAME

The announcer bird flies over the field, broadcasting the shocking turn of events: "Chyu chyu!! Two members of the legendary Groggy Monsters were thrown out of the ring!!! What a surprising turn of events!" Down on the field, Zoro and Sanji stand amidst the dust, but instead of celebrating, they are glaring at each other. Zoro angrily declares, "I'm not doing this for you piece of trash!" Sanji retorts, "You're 100 years too early to be of any help to me!!!" The announcer is baffled, shouting, "Sanji vs Zoro!!? It's breathtaking!! The strength of Team Straw Hat..." On the sidelines, Foxy's jaw drops in utter disbelief. His crew is equally panicked, exclaiming, "They threw Pickles out of the ring... They got Hambog, too!!" and "Those guys are strong!!"

On the sidelines, Porche tightly hugs a crying Chopper, yelling, "Iiyan!! I won't forgive you if you loose, Hambog!!" The announcer continues his commentary, noting that even though both "balls" are safe, the game continues. He then notices the commotion on the field: "Oh!? Members of Team Straw Hat are fighting each other again!" In the background, the giant Big Pan begins to push himself up from the ground. Zoro and Sanji are engaged in a full-blown brawl, with Sanji delivering a high kick that Zoro blocks with his arm. The announcer points out their blunder: "The enemy team's ball is alone!! Kick him into the ring!!!" The Straw Hat crew reacts wildly; Nami screams at them, "Zoro! Sanji! What are you doing, idiots!!!" while Luffy simply laughs uproariously, "Haha haha!! They're so funny!!"

A massive, spiked boot suddenly slams into the ground right between Zoro and Sanji, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. Both of them barely dodge the crushing stomp, crying out in surprise. Sanji recognizes the move as the "Toe Pad Dance!!!" while Zoro looks up in shock. The announcer declares, "It's a surprise attack by Big Bang!!" Big Pan, the giant Wotan, stomps around the field with a menacing grin, laughing "Hishihi hishihi hih shi shi!!!" Zoro and Sanji are forced to run for their lives from the giant's relentless stomping. From the sidelines, Usopp screams at them in frustration, "Why are you running away!? He's the 'ball'!!!"

Nami furiously points at the field, yelling at the referee, "Hey, ref! I thought weapons aren't allowed!!" Zoro, dodging another attack, shouts, "He has knifes under his boot!! Open your eyes, idiot!" However, Foxy just laughs slyly, "Fueheheh... The referee can't see 'everything.'" The referee deliberately looks the other way, whistling a tune and pretending to notice nothing. Enraged by the blatant cheating, Sanji leaps into the air and delivers a brutal kick straight to the referee's face, yelling, "You cheap mother fucker!!" The impact sends the referee flying backward. On the sidelines, Luffy and Usopp watch in absolute shock, screaming, "Wah!! Referee!!"

The referee sits up, his face bruised and swollen from Sanji's kick, and stammers, "I did... not see......anything." Usopp screams "Liar!!!" while Sanji angrily points at him, "I know you saw it! Stop pretending, ass!!" Nami tries to de-escalate the situation, pleading, "Calm down! He's the referee!! Stop it, Sanji!!" The referee quickly blows his whistle and holds up a yellow card, announcing, "Sanji of the Straw Hat, yellow card warning!" Sanji is stunned, and Usopp panics, begging him to stop. The crowd of Foxy Pirates erupts in outrage, calling Sanji's actions barbaric. Sanji snaps back, "Shut up or I'll turn you into sashimi!!" The announcer explains the stakes: "Sanji the chef got a yellow card warning!! One more and it's equivalent to a red card!!! That means getting kicked out of the ring!!"

Big Pan swings a massive, double-bladed axe, forcing Sanji to dodge frantically. Sanji calls for a time out, complaining, "This isn't fair!! I have to find some way to deal with those blades..." Usopp warns him, "Stop, Sanji. You'll just get kicked out of the game!!" Sanji yells back that he can't take the bullshit anymore. Nami urges him to calm down, warning that he'll fall into their trap. Usopp tries appealing to the referee again, pointing out the giant axe, but the referee, still looking away and whistling, simply replies, "I don't see it. Too bad." Luffy cracks his knuckles, offering, "Ok. I'll beat him up then!!" but Nami stops him. Nami then cheers for Sanji, "Sanji, don't loose!!" Instantly swooning, Sanji strikes a dramatic pose with a heart background, declaring, "Nooo problem!!! The pose of love!" Usopp sweats at the sudden mood change but yells, "Alright! Back to the game!!"

Big Pan charges forward, laughing "Puhaha hahah..." as he stomps his spiked boots toward Zoro and Sanji, who are running away again. Usopp yells from the sidelines, "You don't have to literally start at where you left off!!" Zoro and Sanji slide to a halt on the dirt. Zoro grumbles, "Bah! If I knew that they hid weapons on them, I wouldn't have gave mine up..." Sanji agrees, "This fricking sucks!!" Nami watches anxiously, noting, "The three of them are about to clash!!! Team work, you two!!" However, Zoro and Sanji completely ignore her advice. Zoro smirks, "I can take him alone!!!" while Sanji declares, "Time to take him down!!!" Both of them charge head-on toward the giant.

Big Pan leaps into the air, aiming a devastating kick with his spiked boots right at Zoro and Sanji. They manage to dodge the attack. Zoro looks surprised as he notices something about the giant's skin. Sanji realizes the problem: "His skin is too slippery to attack directly... I have to attack through his gloves, boots, mask, and pants..." Big Pan roars "Wuooooh!!!" and suddenly dives onto his stomach, sliding rapidly across the ground towards them in a move called "Loach Scooping Slide!!" Zoro and Sanji are forced to leap high into the air to avoid being scooped up by the massive sliding giant.

Big Pan continues his slippery assault, curving his massive body to slide in a tight circle around Zoro and Sanji. The announcer calls out the move: "There it is! The Racing Circus!! It makes the enemy slide along the giant's back..." Sanji confidently states, "Haha!! I won't fall for the same trick twice!!" while Zoro notes, "This is like skating!" However, the slippery surface proves too much, and both of them lose their footing, slipping and sliding uncontrollably. Big Pan then grabs his own ankles, forming a continuous loop with his body, trapping Zoro and Sanji inside as he spins rapidly. The two Straw Hats tumble around dizzily inside the loop. Usopp yells at them to get serious, while the announcer declares it an "inescapable sliding loop!!!"

As Big Pan keeps Zoro and Sanji trapped in his spinning loop, two familiar silhouettes approach the field. Nami notices them first, "Oh? Those two look a little different... Get them!!" Usopp realizes, "Yeah! They're revived!!" The announcer confirms that while the giant bought time, the knocked-out players have returned. Pickles and Hamburg step back onto the field, now equipped with weapons. Hamburg wears an iron glove and elbow guard, while Pickles sports a spiked shoulder pad. The announcer notes that weapons are not allowed, but Hamburg sneers, "They pissed me off, captain!!" Foxy chuckles from the sidelines. The announcer points out that the referee is conveniently facing away from the ring, doing stretching exercises and counting "One two three four...", completely ignoring the illegal weapons.

Big Pan suddenly straightens out from his loop and slides rapidly across the ground in a move called "Loach Coaster!!" Zoro and Sanji are caught off guard and swept up by his massive body. As they are carried along, Pickles launches himself into the air, spinning rapidly like a top for a "Spinning Tackle!!" The announcer excitedly calls out, "Ah! It's another combo attack!!" Foxy commands them to attack, and Hamburg cheers his leader on. The spinning Pickles slams directly into Sanji, who screams in pain as the spiked shoulder pad tears into him.

The relentless assault continues as Hamburg leaps into the air, aiming his iron elbow guard directly at Zoro. He unleashes the "Hamburger Hammer!!" Zoro manages to cross his arms to block the heavy blow, but the sheer force pushes him back. The announcer clarifies the strategy: "His target is not the ball!! It's the swordsman, Roronoa Zoro!! He's attacking with the elbow guard!!" The impact knocks Zoro high into the air. Below him, Big Pan jumps up, taking a spiking pose like a volleyball player. The announcer yells, "They're not done yet!!" Big Pan violently spikes Zoro back down toward the ground with a massive double-handed strike.

The announcer screams, "This is it!! The most terrifying combo!!" Robin and Nami watch in horror as the attack unfolds. The announcer continues, "...Elbow!? He's using his iron elbow guard to attack!! While Hambog is aiming with his..." As Zoro plummets toward the ground from Big Pan's spike, Hamburg is waiting below. He thrusts his iron-clad elbow upward, catching the falling Zoro with a devastating "Punk Attack!!!!" The impact creates a massive shockwave, smashing Zoro brutally into the dirt. The announcer hypes the impact: "With the power of a speeding bullet!!" Sanji, still recovering from his own hit, looks on in shock at the brutal combo.

Zoro lies motionless face-down in the dirt, completely defeated. The announcer declares, "Bull's eye!! It's over for him!!" Usopp screams Zoro's name in despair. The announcer reminds everyone of the brutal rules: "When a player dies, he forfeits the game!!" Nearby, Sanji is on his hands and knees, clutching his head and groaning, "My... head..." Suddenly, Pickles rolls himself into a tight ball, his spiked shoulder pads protruding outward. The announcer warns, "But wait... The Groggy Monsters are not done yet!!"

Big Pan grabs the rolled-up Pickles and hurls him with incredible force, shouting "Human Cannon!!!" Luffy screams from the sidelines, "Sanji!! Dodge it!!" Sanji, still struggling on the ground and feeling nauseous, mutters, "I'm gonna throw-up..." The announcer describes the incoming projectile: "It's a cannonball with spikes!!" Pickles slams into Sanji with a devastating "Sling Tackle!!!", sending the cook flying backward from the heavy impact.

Sanji is launched high into the air from Pickles' tackle. The announcer tracks his flight: "The ball, Sanji, is in the air!!" Foxy laughs wickedly, "Pufufu...!! Size attack!" As Sanji falls, Big Pan swings a massive wooden bat, striking Sanji mid-air with a loud smack labeled '"S"!!'. The announcer notes, "But it doesn't look like he aimed for the goal!! Hambog sends Sanji flying through the sky with a smack!!" Sanji is batted directly toward Hamburg, who is waiting with his iron glove. Hamburg delivers another brutal punch, labeled '"M"!!', further juggling Sanji in the air.

The "Size Attack" concludes as Big Pan swings his bat one more time, delivering a massive hit labeled '"L"!!' that sends Sanji crashing brutally into the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust. The announcer hypes up the crowd: "The Groggy Monsters are back on top with several amazing attacks!!!" Both Zoro and Sanji are now lying motionless in the dirt. The Straw Hat crew is devastated; Nami covers her mouth in shock, Robin looks grim, Usopp cries out their names, and Luffy mutters, "So cruel..." The announcer declares, "Team Straw Hat is down!!!" The Foxy Pirates erupt in cheers, celebrating their impending victory. Foxy himself is moved to tears of joy, sobbing happily. The three Groggy Monsters strike a victorious pose as the announcer concludes, "The enemy team is... All that's left now is throwing the ball into the goal!...Groggy!!"

The Groggy Monsters flex and celebrate their apparent win, with the crowd cheering, "They are the undefeat-able!! Groggy... Mooon-sters!!!" and "We won again!!" The announcer proclaims, "The victory of round 2 is at hand!! The buoy ring will serve as their grave!!" However, the focus shifts back to the battered Straw Hats. A close-up reveals Zoro, his face covered in blood and dirt, lying on the ground. He opens one eye and says quietly, "... Hey, cook. Give me a hand for 10 seconds." Beside him, Sanji, equally bloodied and bruised, replies through gritted teeth, "That sounds like the right amount." The final narration text notes, "They are really pissed now!"
