MAIN EVENT

A massive impact erupts on a playing field as a player crashes into the goal in an explosion of smoke and debris. Large text screams "GOAL" and "GOAL!! GOAL!!" with Japanese sound effects "わああああ" and "どっ!!". In the stands, Nami cheers with arms raised, shouting "THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!". Sanji yells excitedly beside her. Usopp and other crew members react with shock and joy. Below, Chopper is being dragged away by a large figure while screaming "IYAN~~ YOU CAN'T TAKE MY CHOPPY~~!!". Nearby, a massive horned figure cries out "GABAA--!!" and "GAA!!" as another character shouts "DODO--- DANJI--- GOOD JOB---!!!" amid impact effects.

The crowd erupts with cheers: "COOL! THEY'RE SO COOL!!", "I'M SO TOUCHED! I'M GONNA CRY!", "THAT WAS AMAZING! THOSE PUNKS ARE STRONG!!", and "IDIOTS! DON'T PRAISE THEM!!". A whistle sounds "Bii---!! (WHISTLE)". In close panels, a fish-man-like character says "AH! THAT'S RIGHT. I ALMOST FORGOT! THAT PUNK ATTACKED ME TWICE!". A referee in a top hat is told "MR. REFEREE, YOU'RE AWAKE!!" while holding a whistle. Another figure reacts "AH..." and "HUH...I". A long-nosed character yells "IMBECILES... HOW DID IT END LIKE THIS!I". A large panel shows the ship and field with the ending whistle: "THERE IT IS! THE ENDING WHISTLE!! THE VICTORY IS OFFICIAL!" accompanied by "わあああああ" and "Biii----".

Small panels recap the match: "AND WINNING THE ROUND...!!", "DEFEATING THE ALMIGHTY GROGGY MONSTER,", "IN DAVY BACK FIGHT, ROUND 2.". A woman waves saying "THANK YOU~~" while a bearded man reacts "HUHI". The large central panel shows Sanji standing triumphantly with one foot raised, cigarette in hand, as massive text announces the victory with "CONGRATULATIONS!!" and "IT'S TEAM STRAW HAT!" amid huge Japanese sound effects "わあああああ" and "ドォーン!!". A small figure stands in the background near large cylindrical objects.

The Straw Hats celebrate their Round 2 victory. Nami and Robin stand together as Sanji gushes, "NAMI-CHAN! ROBIN-CHAN! DID YOU SEE IT! DID MY AWESOMENESS STUN YOUI" Usopp cheers, "I KNEW WE WOULD WIN!! WAHA-HAHAH!!" while Luffy laughs wildly. Foxy protests, "STOP IT! STOP HITTING ME! DON'T FOOL AROUND NEXT TIME! I WAS SO SCARED!!" Robin calmly notes, "Good work." A narrator box explains the stakes: the victor of Round 2, Team Straw Hat, can pick a crewmember from the Foxy Pirates as their prize or take their flag. The crowd below panics as they realize Luffy will choose next. "DAMN! I KNEW HE WOULD PICK ME!" "MAYBE IT'S ME!!" "CRAP! HE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE! IT MUST BE ME!" "OH NO, I'M NOT READY FOR THIS..." "IS IT GONNA BE MEI" "AHH! IS HE TALKING ABOUT MEI" "WHO WILL THEIR CAPTAIN CHOOSE!I" "OF COURSE I'LL CHOOSE HIM!" The drum roll SFX "DORO DORO" heightens the tension.

The massive drum SFX "ZUZUZUIN!!" signals the fall as the arena shakes. Nami turns to Luffy and urges, "WAIT, LUFFY!!" while he stares ahead. Voices call, "OKAY. I'LL CHOOSE CHO..." and "LUFFY... HURRY UP..." Nami then explains her plan to the crew: "WITHOUT ANY MORE FIGHTS! IN OTHER WORDS, WE CAN GET CHOPPER BACK. SO IF WE TAKE THAT MAN NOW, WE GET AN AUTOMATIC 3RD WIN. THE THIRD MATCH IS ONE-ON-ONE, AND THEIR PLAYER IS THEIR CAPTAIN." The Foxy Pirates erupt in outrage. "WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLY COLD-BLOODED WOMAN!!" "SHE IS PURE EVIL AND TOTALLY UNTRUSTWORTHY!!" "I OVERESTIMATED YOU!!" "CHEAP SHIT!!" "THAT IS DOWN RIGHT DIRTY!!!" Nami's ruthless strategy shocks everyone.

The Foxy Pirates protest furiously. "I'M SURE EVERYONE HERE WOULD AGREE WITH ME! THE 3RD FIGHT SHOULD BE FOUGHT HONORABLY, NOT AVOIDED COWARDLY!" "NO!" "NOBODY EVER PUT SUCH DISHONOR INTO ACTION!" "HOW DARE YOU TALK DOWN ON MY NAMI-CHAN!" The crowd hurls insults: "CHEAP ASS!!" "SCUM!!" "SHAMELESS!!" "THIS IS STUPID!!" Nami stands firm with arms crossed as Robin comforts a crying woman. Someone asks, "WHERE IS THE HONOR WHEN THEY DISREGARDED ALL THE RULESI" Nami replies coolly, "STOP CRYING. IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT." The arena freezes with SFX "FROZEN..." Nami glares at the crowd and snaps, "SOI NO MORE COMMENTS!I YOU'RE REALLY STARTING TO TICK ME OFF!!" A small voice answers, "SORRY..."

The crowd debates Luffy's choice. "ONLY THEIR CAPTAIN, MONKEY D. LUFFY SHALL DECIDE!" "LET'S SEE WHO HE WILL CHOOSEI" "IT'S ME FOR SURE." "MUST... STAY CALM AND... BE..." "I GUESS, HE'LL CHOOSE ME AFTER ALL." "UH... IN ANY CASE, THE CHOICE IS THE CAPTAIN'S ALONE." Luffy's crew stands behind him. He declares, "YEAH. WE DON'T NEED THAT KIND OF TRASH. HOWEVER, I DON'T WANT THAT SPLIT-HEAD TRAVELING WITH ME. WE WILL CERTAINLY GET AN EASY WIN. ACTUALLY, NAMI, IF WE DO AS YOU SAID, SO TRUE!" The crew claps in agreement. Suddenly Luffy's eyes widen in shock. He roars with all his might, "CHOPPER!! COME BACK!!" as the massive SFX "WUOKAY!!!" and "DON!!" explode across the page.

Luffy grins while holding a tearful Chopper. "THANKS FOR SAVING ME!!!" Chopper wails, "WAAAAAH!! NO~~~ CHOPPY~~~!!!" Luffy replies, "STOP CRYING. IT'S NOT LIKE ZORO AND SANJI COULD'VE LOST." Foxy's crew surrounds their collapsed captain. "THEY BLUNTLY SAID THAT THEY DON'T WANT BOSS!!" "BOSS, DON'T BE SAD. WE WANT YOU!" "OH NO! BOSS' GENTLE HEART IS SHATTERED AGAIN!!! HE HAS COMPLETELY CRUMBLED!!" The crew cries out in panic as Foxy lies face-down. Later panels show the crew rallying: "BOSS!!! STOP THAT BULLSHIT. FIGHT ALREADY." "YOU GUYS..." "YEAH! WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!" "BOSS, TEACH THEM A LESSON IN ROUND 3!!" An emotional crew member declares, "YES, THIS IS WHERE I BELONG..."

Foxy looms with a fierce glare. "CAN WIN AGAINST ME IN BATTLE FOR ROUND 3!! FUEH! LISTEN, YOU! NO ONE..." Luffy shouts back, "I WON'T LOSE TO YOU!!" Foxy continues, "TO BECOME ONE OF US PERMANENTLY! ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED... BESIDES, THE CREWMEMBER YOU LOSE IN THE FINAL ROUND CAN'T BE WON BACK." The Straw Hats react with shock and determination. Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper stand tense as narration notes the differences "BETWEEN A NORMAL BATTLE AND A GAME BATTLE. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENCES..."

The arena announcer declares, "THE TWO TEAMS ARE NOW TIED! LOSS FOR THE GROGGY MONSTERS. THE 2ND ROUND ENDED WITH AN UNEXPECTED..." The crowd erupts as the next round is announced: "BATTLE ROUND!!! THE MOST EAGERLY ANTICIPATED... THE GAME TYPE IS THE CROWD FAVORITE... COMING UP IS THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND OF THE DAVY BACK FIGHT THAT WILL DECIDE EVERYTHING!!" Sanji stands with the crew. "FIRST, WE WILL PICK THE BATTLE FIELD..." A crewmate asks, "WE GET TO PICK BATTLE FIELDI" Another shouts, "START THE FIGHT!!! I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!"

The massive field-chooser cannon spins wildly. "BOTH PLAYERS WILL NOW SPIN THE CANNON! AND THEN..." Luffy and Foxy grip the handles. "HUHI" "FUEH EH" A voice protests, "HOLD ON! THAT DOESN'T LOOK NATURAL AT ALL!!!" The cannon halts with a mechanical clank. "WHEN THE CANNON COMES TO A HALT NATURALLY..." It fires with a massive "BOOM!!" and "SFX: BOOM!!" The chosen field is revealed as the Foxy Pirates' own ship. "IT DOESN'T MATTER. YEAH RIGHT! 6 STOP WHINING. CHEATERS!!!" "THE FIELD CHOSEN WITH THE CANNON IS COINCIDENTALLY THE SHIP OF THE FOXY PIRATES!!"

The announcer declares, "IT'S TIME TO EXPLAIN THE RULES! THE ACTUAL FIELD IS THE AREA WITHIN 50M RADIUS OF WHERE THE CANNONBALL LANDED." A map shows the circular battlefield marked "BATTLE FIELD" with a 50m radius. "ALRIGHT! NOW THE BATTLEFIELD IS CHOSEN." Luffy grins excitedly as the rules continue: "ASIDE FROM THE CONTESTANTS, NO OTHER PERSON IS ALLOWED ON THE FIELD." A masked fighter adds, "YOU MAY USE ANY WEAPON ON THE SHIP." The large man laughs, "SO THAT'S A CIRCULAR FIELD, 100 METERS IN DIAMETER! FUEHEH." The final rule is announced: "THAT'S ALL!! BY THE WAY, THE SPACES ABOVE AND UNDER THE CIRCLE ARE PART OF THE FIELD. THE FIRST PERSON TO KICK THE OPPONENT OUT OF THE FIELD WINS!"

The stage lights up with the banner "DAVY BACK FIGHT" as the announcer continues, "YOU CAN ENJOY A PERFORMANCE BY BOSS' SEXY FOXY CHEERLEADERS, LED BY OUR VERY LOVELY PORCH-CHAN. YEAH!!" A woman with long hair snaps, "WE DON'T NEED THAT TRASH! START THE GAME ALREADY!" Vendors shout, "MAKE SURE YOU GET SOMETHING TO COMMEMORATE THIS EXCITING EVENT!" and "PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT VARIOUS DAVY BACK FIGHT SOUVENIRS ARE BEING SOLD RIGHT NOW." "DAVY BACK PIN~!" After the fight, a curly-haired man sits on the ground saying, "I GUESS I DID SINGLE-HANDEDLY..." while another laughs, "HAHAHA, YOU KICKED THEIR BUTTS BIG TIME! THANKS A TON! YOU TWO WERE SO COOL~!" A small figure in a straw hat replies, "TIGHT."

Nami glares and shouts, "STOP IT RIGHT THERE!" as Luffy protests, "SINGLE-HANDEDLYI!" Someone calls out to Luffy with a heart mark. The announcer notes "(SFX) FUEHFUEH." Usopp declares, "I CAN BE THE COACH." Luffy points, "OKAY, WHO WILL BE YOUR COACHI THAT'S ME!" Foxy points back, "CONTESTANTS NEED TO GO TO THE REST AREA." Nami refuses, "I DON'T BUY THAT TRASH!" while holding up pins, "THANK YOU. HERE ARE YOUR SPECIAL FOXY PINS..." Spectators wonder, "ARE THEY REALLY GOING TO FIGHT THEREI ENTERTAININGI WHAT ARE THEY DOINGI" A figure explains, "IT'S JUST THE PRE-GAME SHOW." Cheerleaders pose under a "FOXY" sign as the crowd cheers "FOXY!!"

The crowd reacts as the event begins. A voice says, "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULLI THIS POPCORN SUCKS!" Another complains, "OH. IT'S STARTING." A vendor offers, "HOW ABOUT 80% OFF!I" while the buyer retorts, "THEN DON'T BUY IT!" On the battlefield, a skull-marked device is carried as voices shout, "GET HIM, SLIM! HARDER, BOAR! HARDER! HARDER! HARDER!" The massive announcement blares: "THE MOST EXCITING EVENT OF THE DAY IS STARTING! THE PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETE!! IT'S THE BATTLE ROUND! THE FIGHT WILL START SOON!" with large SFX "わあああああ" echoing across the arena as the cannonball-marked field is shown ready.

The arena fills with black smoke as the crowd reacts in confusion. "IT'S FILLED WITH BLACK SMOKE!!" "EHI THE SKY TURNED DARK. NAMI~ ROBIN~ THERE ARE SEATS HERE!" Explosions and debris erupt from the stage. Massive wanted posters of the two captains are revealed side by side: "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE MONKEY D. LUFFY 100,000,000 MARINE" versus "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE FOXY". The announcer declares, "THE TWO FIGHTERS OF THE FINAL ROUND..." The crowd roars, "ARE THE CORRESPONDING CAPTAINS!!" "YEAH!" Close-ups show Foxy's poster as the narrator states, "HE IS THE CAPTAIN OF THE FOXY PIRATES!! WITH A RECORD OF 920 STRAIGHT WINS!! ON THE LEFT... HE'S THE RETURNING CHAMPION..."

Foxy the Silver Fox makes his dramatic entrance, arms raised with black gloves and a massive afro-like hairstyle, cape flowing. The crowd erupts, "BOSS!!" "OUR BOSS..." "FOXY THE SILVER FOX!!" with musical notes and impact effects. Smaller panels show the Foxy Pirates cheering wildly. Narration reads, "FEROCIOUS TEAM OF PIRATES... THE CAPTAIN OF THE SMALL BUT... ON THE RIGHT... TAKE HIM DOWN IN ONE SECOND!!" The arena shakes with cheers of "BOSS!!"

Luffy bursts onto the scene with arms raised, afro hair, and a determined roar. The crowd shouts, "KNOWN AS THE STRAW HAT KIDDO..." "IF YOU LOOK LIKE THIS, YOUR PUNCH WILL BECOME STRONGER!" "REALLY, USOPPI" "FIGHT HARD, KID!!" "HE IS..." "WITH AN AMAZING BOUNTY OF 100 MILLION BERI..." "HE IS MONKEY... D..." Luffy yells "LUFFY!!!" as the title card appears: "THE HEAVY WEIGHT YET COMICAL DUEL!!!" The announcer declares, "BATTLE START!!" Below, the Straw Hats react excitedly: "LUFFY! YOU'RE SO COOL!!!" "WHO'S THATI" The page ends with "DAVY BACK FIGHT, FINAL ROUND..."
