ROUGH GAME

A bird-like creature carrying Chopper shouts "CHYU CHYU!!" as narration declares "TWO MEMBERS OF THE LEGENDARY GROGGY MONSTERS WERE THROWN OUT OF THE RING!!!" and "WHAT A SURPRISING TURN OF EVENTS!". The next panel shows Sanji facing Zoro with the caption "SANJI VS ZORO!!I". Sanji yells "I'M NOT DOING THIS FOR YOU PIECE OF TRASH!" while Zoro replies "YOU'RE 100 YEARS TOO EARLY TO BE OF ANY HELP TO ME!!!". Onlookers react with shock: "......!!!", "YEEE!!", "THEY THREW PICKLES OUT OF THE RING...", "THEY GOT HAMBOG, TOO!!", and "THOSE GUYS ARE STRONG!!".

Usopp shouts "IIYAN!! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU IF YOU LOOSE, HAMBOG!!" amid chaotic action with a large spinning ball and debris. Narration boxes state "THE GAME CONTINUES EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT READY." and "OH!I MEMBERS OF TEAM STRAW HAT ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER!". A figure stands in the ring as impact sounds "バキバキ" and "ドカーン" echo. Luffy laughs "HAHA HAHA!! THEY'RE SO FUNNY!!" while others yell "KICK HIM INTO THE RING!!!", "THE ENEMY TEAM'S BALL IS ALONE!", "ZORO! SANJI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, IDIOTS!!!", and "OHI".

A massive impact erupts with SFX "ドズダン!!" as a giant foot stomps down, sending a character flying with "WAAAH!!" and "!!I". Close-ups show a toothy creature labeled "TOE PAD DANCE!!!" alongside shocked faces exclaiming "HE'S...", "HUH!I", and "IT'S A SURPRISE ATTACK BY BIG BANG!!". The giant figure rampages with "ドンドンドンドン" and "ドドドドン!!" sounds while shouting "HISHIHI HISHIHI HII SHI SHI!!!". Usopp cries "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY!I" and "HE'S THE "BALL!!!" " as others scream "WAAAH!! NOOO!!".

In the chaotic arena, the referee in his striped shirt stands amid the crowd as a voice yells, "HEY, REF! I THOUGHT WEAPONS AREN'T ALLOWED!!" The referee reacts with shock, "EH!I" A close-up shows a furious man with spiky hair shouting, "HE HAS KNIVES UNDER HIS BOOT!! OPEN YOUR EYES, IDIOT!" Nearby, the masked long-haired fighter with a black helmet sweats and whistles repeatedly, "*WHISTLES* *WHISTLES*", while muttering, "FUEHEHEH... THE REFEREE CAN'T SEE 'EVERYTHING.' WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING!I" The crowd reacts with confusion. Suddenly, Sanji charges in with a powerful kick, yelling "YOU CHEAP MOTHER FUCKER!!" as the impact sends shockwaves and the referee is knocked back amid cries of "WAH!! REFEREE!!" and "WAH" from the spectators.

The masked fighter protests loudly, "LIAR!!!" while the referee on the ground insists, "I DID... ANYTHING. NOT SEE..." A frantic voice shouts, "I KNOW YOU SAW IT! STOP PRETENDING, ASS!!" Nami appears, yelling desperately, "STOP IT, SANJI!!" and "CALM DOWN! HE'S THE REFEREE!!" The masked fighter continues, "S... STOP! STOP!!!" as chaos erupts. Sanji receives a yellow card from the referee, who declares, "SANJI OF THE STRAW HAT, YELLOW CARD WARNING!" The crowd reacts in outrage: "HE ATTACKED THE REFEREE!! WHAT A BARBARIC THING TO DO!!" "SHUT UP OR I'LL TURN YOU INTO SASHIMI!!!" and "VERY BARBARIC INDEED!" A distant ship sails as the arena erupts in noise.

The masked fighter spins wildly on a track, blades flashing with "*ZAKU ZAKU ZAKU*" as Sanji thinks, "I HAVE TO SOME WAY TO DEAL WITH THOSE BLADES..." and the referee calls, "TIME OUT! THIS ISN'T FAIR!!" In the stands, Nami pleads, "CALM DOWN... YOU'LL FALL RIGHT INTO THEIR TRAP IF YOU DON'T!!" while Luffy shouts, "I CAN'T TAKE THIS BULL-SHIT ANY MORE!!!" and "STOP, SANJI. YOU'LL JUST GET KICKED OUT OF THE GAME!!" The masked fighter swings an axe, prompting cries of "HEY, REF! LOOK! THAT GUY IS USING A FRICKING AXE!!" Sanji prepares to fight back as Nami forms a heart pose, declaring "THE POSE OF LOVE!" and Luffy cheers, "OKAY... NOOO PROBLEM!!!" The referee signals, "ALRIGHT! BACK TO THE GAME!!"

The masked fighter launches a brutal spinning attack with "*DON DON DON*" and "*DON*", laughing "PUHAHA HAHAH..." as victims scream "AHHH!! WAH!!" and "SAAAAA!!" Sanji dodges and counters amid dust clouds, thinking, "BAH! IF I KNEW THAT THEY HID WEAPONS ON THEM, I WOULDN'T HAVE GAVE MINE UP..." while the masked fighter yells, "THIS FRICKING SUCKS!!" The crowd watches in shock as Nami cries, "THE THREE OF THEM ARE ABOUT TO CLASH!!! TEAM WORK, YOU TWO!!" Sanji declares, "I CAN TAKE HIM ALONE!!!" and the spiky-haired man adds, "TIME TO TAKE HIM DOWN!!!"

A massive booted foot slams down with crushing force, sending shockwaves and debris flying as a small figure is hurled backward. In close-up, a spiky-haired fighter gasps in shock, "HUH!I" while another voice cries out "WUUOOOOH!!!" A long-haired man sweats heavily, thinking, "I HAVE TO ATTACK THROUGH HIS GLOVES, BOOTS, MASK, AND PANTS... HIS SKIN IS TOO SLIPPERY TO ATTACK DIRECTLY..." The giant loach-like creature launches its signature move, roaring "LOACH SCOOPING SLIDE!!" as it slides with blurring speed. Opponents are sent flying amid loud impacts marked "ぬるーく", "WAHA!!", and "BAH!!" while one yells "WAHA!!"

The loach creature continues its wild slide, shouting "LOACH RACING CIRCUS!!!" amid cries of "GUIN!!", "HAHA!!", and "WUUAA AAAH!!" as an opponent yells "DAMN IT..." A top-hatted referee watches intently while a long-haired fighter declares, "HAH! I WON'T FALL FOR THE SAME TRICK TWICE!! THIS IS LIKE SKATING!" Thought bubbles note, "THERE IT IS! THE RACING CIRCUS!! IT MAKES THE ENEMY SLIDE ALONG THE GIANT'S BACK..." The slide turns into an inescapable loop with repeated "*ROUND AND ROUND...*" effects. A fish-like spectator shouts, "HEY!! GET SERIOUS, YOU TWO!!!" as dizziness sets in with "D... DIZZY..." and "AAAA AH!!!!"

Spectators notice, "OHI THOSE TWO LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT... YEAH! THEY'RE REVIVED!! GET THEM!!" while the giant continues spinning. A spiked-armored fighter named Pickles displays his illegal spiked shoulder pad and iron glove, with narration explaining, "PICKLES GOT A SPIKED SHOULDER PAD. AN IRON GLOVE AND ELBOW GUARD. THE TEAM CAPTAIN, HAMBORG, PUTS ON.... BUT WEAPONS ARE NOT ALLOWED!!" The referee laughs "BUSISISI..." as Hamburg grins, "THEY PISSED ME OFF, CAPTAIN!! I'M GOING!" Nearby, "GURON GURON" and "PFUFU!!" sound effects accompany the illegal stretching exercise hidden from the referee, who counts, "ONE TWO THREE FOUR..."

The loach creature launches another high-speed slide, yelling "LOACH COASTER!!" as opponents are sent tumbling with "WAH!" and "!!I" A spinning tackle follows with "SPINNING TACKLE!!" and "*SPIN SPIN*" effects. One fighter cries, "AH! IT'S ANOTHER COMBO ATTACK!!" while the top-hatted man screams "AAAAAH!!" and mutters "TWINCKLE TWINCKLE..." Hamburg cheers, "FUFU! ATTACK!! LET'S GO, LEADER!! HIHI!" as the giant looms in the background amid flying debris and impact lines.

Hamburg launches a devastating overhead strike with his spiked mace, roaring "HAMBURGER HAMMER!!" The massive weapon crashes down toward the arena floor. Observers note the attack targets Roronoa Zoro with an elbow guard rather than the ball. Zoro reacts with shock, "...!I" as the blow connects. Big Pan leaps high into the air, striking a spiking pose while shouting "BIG BANG JUMPS UP, TAKING THE SPIKING POSE!" and "THEY'RE NOT DONE YET!!" Zoro is sent flying from the impact, yelling "ZORO!!" as debris and dust erupt around him.

Spectators react in horror: "THIS IS IT!! THE MOST TERRIFYING COMBO!!" "CAN IT BE..." "OH NO..." "...ELBOW!I" "HE'S USING HIS IRON ELBOW GUARD TO ATTACK!!" "WHILE HAMBOG IS AIMING WITH HIS..." Hamburg unleashes his follow-up, crying "PUNK ATTACK!!!!" as he spins and fires with bullet-like speed. The devastating strike lands with a massive impact "ドゴォォ!!" leaving the target reeling, "...HUH!!I"

The Groggy Monsters press their advantage. A voice declares "WHEN A PLAYER DIES, HE FORFEITS THE GAME!!" Zoro struggles, muttering "MY... HEAD..." and "...!I" as the spiked ball looms overhead. An opponent yells "BULL'S EYE!! IT'S OVER FOR HIM!!" while another shouts "ZORO!!!" The massive spiked cannonball rolls forward with crushing force. A warning rings out: "BUT WAIT... THE GROGGY MONSTERS ARE NOT DONE YET!!" amid the chaos of "わああああっ" and impact sounds.

The spiked cannonball is launched as a "HUMAN CANNON!!!" Luffy shouts "SANJI!! DODGE IT!!!" while Sanji grimaces, thinking "I'M GONNA THROW-UP..." The ball hurtles forward with the cry "IT'S A CANNONBALL WITH SPIKES!!" Sanji counters with a desperate "SLING TACKLE!!!" as the projectile smashes into the ground, sending debris flying. Luffy screams "WUUAAA AAAAAA AAAAH!!!" from the impact zone while Sanji reacts with "!!I"

The Groggy Monsters launch their assault. Hamburg leaps high while Big Pan charges forward. "THE BALL, SANJI, IS IN THE AIR!" someone shouts. Big Pan bellows "PUFUFU...!!! SIZE ATTACK!" as his massive body slams the ground, sending shockwaves and debris flying. Sanji is sent hurtling through the air. "BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE AIMED FOR THE GOAL!!" a voice cries. Hamburg appears with a vicious grin, "S"!!" and delivers a crushing blow. "HAMBOG SENDS SANJI FLYING THROUGH THE SKY WITH A SMACK!!" The impact sends Sanji spinning. In the next instant a massive spiked mace swings in, "M"!!" as the third monster joins the brutal combination attack.

The Groggy Monsters dominate the field. "THE GROGGY MONSTERS ARE BACK ON TOP WITH SEVERAL AMAZING ATTACKS!!!" The crowd watches in shock as Luffy, Zoro, and the others react with horror. "WU... WU...!!!" cries one spectator. "ZORO!! SANJI!!" Luffy yells desperately. "SO CRUEL..." Nami mutters, sweat pouring down her face. "THE ENEMY TEAM IS..." another voice trails off. "TEAM STRAW HAT IS DOWN!!!" The announcer declares. The Foxy Pirates cheer wildly, "YEAH! GYAHA HAH." A battered member of the Straw Hats sobs, "*SOB... SOB...!!!*" The Groggy Monsters stand triumphant. "ALL THAT'S LEFT NOW IS THROWING THE BALL INTO THE GOAL!" one roars as the others celebrate, "YEEE HAAAA" and "... GROGGY!!"

The Foxy Pirates celebrate their apparent victory. "THEY ARE THE UNDEFEATABLE... MOONSTERS!!!" one panel declares. "WE WON AGAIN!!" another cheers. "THE VICTORY OF ROUND 2 IS AT HAND!!" and "THE BUOY RING WILL SERVE AS THEIR GRAVE!!" ring out as Hamburg raises his arms in triumph. The mood shifts as Zoro lies beaten in the grass, bloodied and breathing heavily. "... HEY, COOK." he calls out. "GIVE ME A HAND FOR 10 SECONDS." Sanji, equally battered, replies from the ground, "THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE RIGHT AMOUNT." A narrator note reads "*THEY ARE REALLY PISSED NOW*" as both Straw Hats prepare to rise, the atmosphere turning deadly serious.
