OBSTACLE WARFARE

The Donut Race continues under the blazing sun. The announcer declares, 'THE BLAZING SUN ADDS TO THE HEAT OF THE ACTION AS THE RACERS FACE THE NEW CHALLENGE, THE LONG CORAL AREA.' The Cutie Wagon is currently in the lead. Porche urges her team forward, stating, 'WE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME EARLIER, SO WE HAVE TO GET WIN IT BACK HERE. MOUNDA, WE'RE DEPENDING ON YOU!!' The shark Monda replies with a 'SHANN~!!!' Behind them, the Barrel Tiger continues its desperate pursuit. As they approach a dense forest of giant corals protruding from the water, Nico Robin points them out: 'WHAT'S THIS? THE AREA IS COVERED WITH GIANT CORALS...' Usopp says, '...HEY LOOK.' Nami observes the water and notes, 'BECAUSE OF THAT, THE SEA CURRENTS ARE MOVING STRANGELY... WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T JUST BLINDLY CHARGE IN...'

On the dry land, Foxy the Silver Fox is plotting his next move. He is seen riding on the back of a large toad mount, laughing evilly, 'HEHEHEH... NO ONE CAN SURVIVE MY EVIL SCHEMES!!!' He orders, 'GET AHEAD OF THEM, HAMBOG!!' The announcer notes, 'THERE IS SOMEONE ON THE DRY LAND WAITING TO UNLEASH HIS WRATH. DON'T FORGET. HE IS OUR BOSS, FOXY THE SILVER FOX!!! WHAT IS HE PLANNING!!?' The Foxy Pirates on the sidelines cheer for their boss, yelling, 'GO GET THEM, BOSS~~N~!!!!', 'WHAT EXCITING THINGS WILL HAPPEN NEXT!!?', and 'YAHOO. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME NOW!!! WHO ELSE WANTS TO FIGHT!?' Meanwhile, Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper are mingling with the enemy crew. A large Foxy pirate with a striped shirt and glasses offers Luffy some food, asking, 'YO, BOY. WANT SOMETHING TO EAT!?' Luffy looks intrigued by the offer.

Luffy happily accepts the food from the Foxy Pirates, holding a large plate of food and exclaiming, 'REALLY!!! THANKS A TON!!! IT LOOKS DELITIOUTH~~~~' The pirate tells him, 'HERE'S SOME INARI SUSHI AND KITSUNE UDON!! ALL FREE!!!' Nearby, Sanji is surrounded by swooning Foxy pirate women who say, 'I LIKE YOU BEST, PRETTY-BOY CHEF. COME HERE.' Sanji happily replies, 'EHEHEH. IT SEEMS THAT LOOSING ISN'T HALF BAD HERE~~~' Chopper is seen eating a candy apple offered by another pirate. The Foxy Pirates continue to offer them rum and food. Back on the water, Usopp nervously rows the Barrel Tiger, asking, 'HEHE. IS THIS A LITTLE AWKWARD?' The announcer, Itomimizu, reports, 'UH-OH. WHAT HAPPENED!? BARREL TIGER SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN!' Usopp yells, 'HEY, NAMI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ROW!' Itomimizu announces, 'USING THIS OPPORTUNITY, CUTIE WAGON EXTENDS HER LEAD!!! SHE IS ENTERING THE LONG CORAL AREA~~~!!!!'

The Cutie Wagon charges into the Long Coral Area, but something goes wrong. Porche commands, 'CHARGE, MOUNDA!!!' but the boat is suddenly pushed backward by the strong currents. Porche yells, 'HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? MOUNDA!?' Capote is confused, 'EH...!?' Itomimizu announces, 'OOOH!? CUTIE WAGON SUDDENLY MOVED BACKWARD!! WHAT IS HAPPENING!?' Porche yells at Monda to stop fooling around. Capote notes, 'IT TURNED AROUND...' Porche commands again, 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MOUNDA!? CHARGE!!!!' but Capote says, 'THEY TURNED AROUND AGAIN...' Porche frustratedly yells, 'NOT THIS WAY!!!' Watching from behind, Nami smiles confidently. She realizes the trick, stating, 'I KNEW IT. THE CURRENT IS THE KEY HERE. IT'S OUR TURN. LET'S GO.'

Itomimizu reports, 'HOW TRAGIC!!!! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE CUTIE WAGON TIES TO MOVE FORWARD. IT GETS PUSHED BACK!?' Porche yells, 'AGAIN, MOUNDA!!' Itomimizu continues, 'ON THE OTHER HAND, THE BARREL TIGER HAS BEGUN TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. NOW THE TWO BOATS ARE BOTH TACKLING THE CORAL AREA!!' Suddenly, Nico Robin notices something strange ahead, 'EH!? WAH!? WHAT'S THAT!?' A large cloud of white smoke erupts from the corals. Foxy is seen standing on the shore, laughing mischievously, 'FUEH FUEH FUEH!!!' Itomimizu announces, 'TH... THIS IS... THAT DANGEROUS MAN... HAS MADE HIS MOVE!!!'

Foxy unleashes his attack, sending a massive cloud of thick smoke directly into the path of the Barrel Tiger. Foxy laughs triumphantly, 'WHAT A DIRTY, DIRTY TRICK!!! THIS SMOKE! FUEHHEHEHEHE!!! BEHOLD, MY WHITE SMOKE ATTACK!! PUFUFUFU!! SUCCESS!! GO ON! CHARGE WITHOUT YOUR SIGHT AND RAM INTO THOSE CORALS!! FUEHEHEHEHE!!!' Usopp panics as the smoke engulfs them. Itomimizu praises Foxy, 'WITHOUT THEIR EYES, THE BARREL TIGER... WILL RISK RUNNING INTO SOMETHING EVERY TIME THEY MOVE!! NOW THAT IS A MODEL VILLAIN!!!' However, Foxy's celebration is cut short when he sees the Barrel Tiger emerge from the smoke completely unharmed. Itomimizu is shocked, 'IMPOSSIBLE! THEY PASSED IT WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT!!' Foxy cries in disbelief, 'WUWUW. NOO!!!'

The Barrel Tiger zooms effortlessly through the maze of giant corals. Itomimizu announces, 'NOT ONLY THAT, THE BARREL TIGER IS ZOOMING THROUGH THE FOREST OF CORALS AND MAKING AMAZING PROGRESS!!! YET, THE CUTIE WAGON REMAINS STUCK AT THE EDGE OF THE CORAL AREA!!! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!!?' Usopp is amazed, 'THE BOAT IS MOVING ON ITS OWN!!?' Nico Robin confirms, 'YUP. THIS PLACE IS THE MAZE OF THE CURRENTS!!' Nami explains her strategy: 'BECAUSE OF THE GIANT WHIRLPOOL BEHIND THE CORALS, A CHAIN OF SMALLER WHIRLPOOLS ARE FORMED IN THIS AREA! ALL I NEEDED TO DO... WAS TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT PATH AND THE CURRENTS WOULD TAKE US THROUGH.' On the shore, Sanji swoons, 'WITH THAT, WE CAN LITERALLY PASS THIS PLACE WITH OUR EYES CLOSED. AWESOME!! WITNESS THE SKILLS OF OUR AMAZING NAVIGATOR!!' Foxy curses them, 'BASTARDS!!'

The Barrel Tiger approaches a terrifying obstacle: a massive, swirling 'Long Whirlpool' that stretches across the water. Itomimizu warns, 'DON'T CELEBRATE JUST YET! THE TERRIFYING LONG WHIRLPOOL IS UP NEXT!!!' Nami yells at Usopp, 'DO LONG THINGS COME IN TWO, TOO!? GYAAAAAAAAHNNN!!! USOP, STOP SCREAMING. GET READY TO USE "IMPACT."' Usopp is shocked. Nami warns, 'OTHERWISE, THE WHIRLPOOL WILL SWALLOW US.' Usopp, terrified and crying, asks, 'SO CALM... D... DID YOU PLAN ALL OF THIS IN THE BEGINNING?' As the boat speeds toward the edge of the whirlpool, Usopp braces himself and activates the Impact Dial against the water, screaming, 'IYAAAAAH!!' Itomimizu shouts, 'THE BARREL TIGER IS STILL SPEEDING UP!!!'

The force of the Impact Dial sends the entire Barrel Tiger flying high into the air, completely clearing the massive Long Whirlpool. Itomimizu is astounded, shouting, 'NO... THEY ARE NOT JUST SPEEDING UP... THE ENTIRE BOAT FLEW!!!! THEY FLEW OVER THE WHIRLPOOL AND ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LONG GAP!!!' Nami and Robin look focused as the boat descends. The Barrel Tiger lands safely on the other side with a large splash. Usopp screams, 'WUAH!!' as they hit the water. Itomimizu announces, 'THEY LANDED SAFELY!!! WHAT AN UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS!!!? WILL THE INVINCIBLE CUTIE WAGON LOOSE LIKE THIS!!!?'

Behind them, the Cutie Wagon makes a desperate move. Capote yells, 'DON'T COUNT US OUT YET!!! IT'S ALL UP TO YOU NOW! FUSION!! TURBO SHARKMAN!!!' Capote rides on Monda's back, using the shark's powerful tail to shatter the giant corals in their path. Itomimizu excitedly reports, 'IT'S NOT OVER YET. THEY HAVE COMBINED THE STRENGTH OF THE FISHMAN WITH THE TAIL OF THE SHARK!!! THE BLAZING BOAT SHATTERS ALL THE CORALS IN ITS WAY TO CATCH UP WITH THE LEADER! THE RACE IS HALFWAY DONE AND IN THE LEAD, WE HAVE THE EVER-STRUGGLING BARREL TIGER!!' On the Straw Hats' boat, Nami yells, 'USOP, WAKE UP!!!' Usopp is dazed, 'WHERE AM I!? I THINK I TWISTED MY WRIST...' while Nico Robin looks back at their pursuers.

The Barrel Tiger encounters a wooden sign pointing right, reading 'DONUTS RACE, TURN RIGHT'. Usopp sees it and suggests, 'LOOK. IT'S A SIGN! "TURN RIGHT?" OKAY. LET'S TURN RIGHT NOW!!' However, Nami completely ignores it and keeps going straight. On the shore, Foxy is shocked, 'NOT! ONLY A IDIOT WOULD'VE FALL FOR THAT!?' Itomimizu announces, 'AMAZING! THEY SAW THROUGH BOSS' TRICK #18 "FAKE SIGN ATTACK!!!"' Foxy sweats in frustration, 'WHAT A FORMIDABLE FOE! IS THIS WOMAN UNTRUSTING OF EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD!?' Nami angrily yells at Foxy, 'BE QUIET, SLIME BALL!!!!' Usopp adds, 'SHE'S PROFANE, TOO!!' Itomimizu notes, 'ANYWAYS, THE RACE CONTINUES AND THE BARREL TIGER FACES A NEW CHALLENGE.' Usopp panics, 'WAAAH! WATCH OUT!!! WHERE ARE THESE PILLARS OF WATER COMING FROM!?' Itomimizu announces, 'SHOOTING HIGH INTO THE AIR, IT'S THE LONG RIPPLE!!!'

Foxy tries another trick. He disguises himself as an old, injured granny sitting on a small piece of land, crying out, 'GRANNY... GRANNY...!!! GRANNY... AH... I CAN'T... MOVE... EXCUSE ME, CAPTAIN OF THAT BOAT. PLEASE PITY US AND HELP US...' Itomimizu notes, 'AND NOW, OUR BOSS STRIKES ONCE MORE... SHE PRETENDS THAT SHE DIDN'T SEE THEM!! NAMI THE NAVIGATOR IS ALSO VERY HEARTLESS AND CRUEL!!' Nami angrily yells back, 'YOU ARE ANNOYING, IDIOT! I WOULD NEVER FALL FOR THAT!!' Usopp comments, 'VERY PROFANE!!' Suddenly, Usopp spots something ahead: a large gate marked 'GOAL'. He points, 'LOOK! OVER THERE!! IT'S THE FINISH LINE!!!!' Itomimizu declares, 'VICTORY SEEMS TO BE AT HAND FOR THE LEADER!!!! BUT WAIT, THE CUTIE WAGON IS CATCHING UP FAST!!! STEADY NOW...!! WHO WILL END UP AS THE VICTOR OF THE DONUT RACE~~~~!!!?'

Nami angrily yells at Foxy, 'DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO QUIT IT ALREADY!!!?' Foxy is in disbelief, 'IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!' Itomimizu is amazed, 'SHE DID IT AGAIN!! NOT EVEN THE "FAKE GOAL ATTACK" COULD STOP HER!!!' Sanji praises Nami, 'SHE IS A TOUGH FOE INDEED!!' Usopp notes, 'THE REAL FINISH LINE MUST BE CLOSE. HEY, I CAN'T DO ANOTHER IMPACT, BY THE WAY.' Nami replies, 'I KNOW.' Sanji, still swooning, asks Nami, 'EXCUSE ME MISS. DO YOU EVER BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU SEE?' Nami angrily tells him, 'GO TO HELL!!!' Usopp sweats, 'SHE HAS LOST IT!!' Meanwhile, Itomimizu reveals a tragedy: 'ANYHOW, A TRAGEDY HAS TAKEN PLACE!!! PORCH'S TEAM HAS STOPPED AT THE FAKE FINISH LINE!!' The Cutie Wagon is seen parked at the fake goal, with Porche asking, 'DID WE WIN!? WHERE IS EVERYBODY!?' Itomimizu contrasts them, 'HER TRUSTING AND INNOCENT MIND SHINES BRIGHTLY IN COMPARISON TO CERTAIN SOMEONE'S. HOWEVER, SHE MUST REALIZE HER MISTAKE QUICKLY!!!'

Realizing they've been tricked by the fake finish line, Porche is furious, 'DAMN IT! THIS IS A FAKE FINISH LINE!! WHAT!!? WHO COULD'VE DONE SUCH A LOWLY THING!!! IF I LOOSE TO IDIOTS LIKE THOSE, I WILL BE TOO ASHAMED TO STAY ALIVE!! MORE TERRIBLY, WE WILL LOOSE A FRIEND!!!' Itomimizu states, 'THE RACE IS 2/3 DONE, AND THE BARREL TIGER IS STILL IN THE LEAD!!! THE CONTESTANTS ARE APPROACHING THE LONG BAMBOO SHORE.' Nami spots the real finish line, 'THE FINISH LINE IS JUST AHEAD! IT'S TRUE. I CAN SEE IT!' However, Usopp warns, 'THEY'RE CATCHING UP!! HOLD ON...' Nami realizes they won't be able to beat them in pure speed. She points to a tall bamboo tree on the shore and asks, 'USOP, SEE THAT!? CAN YOU HIT THAT BAMBOO TREE!?' Usopp readies his slingshot, 'BAMBOO~!?'

Usopp uses his slingshot to fire a projectile at the bamboo tree on the shore, asking, 'LIKE THAT!?' Nami encourages him, 'YES. SHOOT MORE!!' The shot hits perfectly, causing the tall bamboo to snap and fall directly into the path of the speeding Cutie Wagon. Porche commands, 'FULL SPEED AHEAD!! KAPOUTI!! MOUNDA!!! RAM THEM INTO BITS!!!' but they are caught off guard as the bamboo crashes down in front of them. Porche gasps, 'EH!?!!? OH NO!!!' Usopp screams, 'IYAAAAAH!!!' Nami cheers, 'YES~~!! BINGO!!!' Furious, Porche declares, 'OH NO... KAPOUTE!!! NO MERCY... I WON'T FORGIVE THEM!!! CUTIE BATON!!' She pulls out a weapon, preparing to retaliate against the Barrel Tiger.

Porche swings her Cutie Baton, unleashing an attack called 'ROSE SHURIKEN!!!!' A flurry of sharp, flower-shaped projectiles shoots toward the Barrel Tiger. Usopp is shocked, 'WHAT? A TRICK THAT SPAWN FLOWERS!?!!? WUAAAAH!!! WATCH OUT!!!' The sharp projectiles punch several holes into the wooden barrels of the Straw Hats' ship, causing it to take on water. Usopp panics, 'THIS IS BAD. SHE PUNCHED HOLES IN THE SHIP!!!' However, Nami remains focused, stating, 'IT'S FINE. WE CAN MAKE IT!! LOOK, THE FINISH LINE IS RIGHT THERE!!! LET'S CHARGE!!!' The Barrel Tiger pushes forward despite the damage.

The final stretch of the Donut Race begins. Itomimizu declares, 'THIS IS IT. DAVY BACK FIGHT ROUND 1... "THE DONUT RACE" IS ABOUT TO END!!!' The Foxy Pirates cheer wildly, 'YEAH! PORCH!!' Porche commands Capote and Monda, 'GO NEXT TO THEM! WE MUSTN'T LOOSE!!! MOUNDA, CHARGE!!! WE CAN'T LOOSE TO THOSE THREE!!!' Both boats are neck and neck as they approach the massive 'GOAL' gate. Itomimizu shouts, 'HERE THEY COMENNN WHO WILL CROSS THE FINISH LINE FIRST!?' On the shore, Luffy and Chopper are already celebrating, cheering, 'NAMI WON!!! YEY!!!' Sanji dances around with heart eyes, praising, 'NAMI~~CHAN ROBIN~~CHAN YOUR NIMBLE BODIES ARE ALWAYS SO BEAUTIFUL'. Foxy watches intensely from the sidelines.

Just as the Barrel Tiger is about to cross the finish line, Foxy appears on a small piece of land nearby. He calls out, 'HEY, YOU!! YOU THREE ARE PRETTY TOUGH!! TOO BAD. YOU GUYS CAME CLOSE.' Usopp replies, 'HUH? WE'RE GOING TO WIN!' Foxy laughs, 'HAHAHAH. NOT YOU'RE NOT. OUR BOSS IS HERE.' Nami recognizes him in frustration, 'IT'S HIM AGAIN!!' Foxy reveals his power, 'BOSS IS LIKE YOU... HE ALSO HAS DEVIL FRUIT POWER.' He strikes a pose with his hands. Itomimizu screams, 'IT'S A BEAM!! HE SHOT A BEAM!!!!' Foxy unleashes his attack, shouting, '"NORO-NORO BEAM~~~~!!!"' A series of glowing rings shoots directly at the Barrel Tiger. Nami looks back in shock, '!!?' as the beam approaches them right before the finish line.
