Chapter Six- The Davy Backfight Concludes! The Newest Straw Hat!

The remaining Straw Hats were waiting to hear the result of the Full Circle Race. They were disappointed to see that as Walrus rode towards them on his trusted stallion, the fat Pugsy was pulling Kenni along by a lead.

Luffy just gave a grin. "We can win him back in the next round! What's the next game?" He bellowed, towards Walrus.

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that." He took out his ear trumpet, and placed it in the dark caves which he referred to as ears. "Right, now, say that again, will you, old sport?"

"I SAID WHAT'S OUR NEXT MATCH!" He roared, right into the bell of the trumpet, making the old knight jump from his horse.

"Settle down, my dear chum! I say that our next match should be-" He murmured, thoughtfully. "Aha! We shall have the Rasen Ken Baton Ryu Duel. This involves using two swords to make a spiral, in a baton-like fashion, and must break the other person's swords."

Zoro gave a smirk. "Of course, I'll do this."

Walrus sat atop his horse, waiting for the Rasen Ken Baton Ryu Duel to begin. He spotted his first mate, the subordinate from before, readying his swords nervously. On the other side, he saw Roronoa Zoro preparing his two swords, Yukibashiri and Sandai Kitetsu, leaving Wadou Ichimonji sheathed.

The duel started, and finished almost in the same instance. Walrus gave a little smirk. Zoro had beaten the first mate, without any trouble at all. Twirling both swords like propellers, the green-haired swordsman had slashed directly through the opposing blades.

"Well, my faithful steed, I'd wager that we're up next. Oh-ho-ho-ho!" He snorted, with laughter, making his horse jump to the ground. The poor equine creature fell onto its hooves with a thud, kicking up masses of dust.

"As promised, since Roronoa Zoro won the duel, here is Torashi Pikaken, safe and sound!" With this, he tossed Kenni- leash and all- towards Nami. The Straw Hat's navigator was a little confused with having Kenni on a lead, but then saw the more positive sides to this.

"Now, the final game will be jousting! Pick out your loyal steed!" This command left Luffy stumped. A steed? What was that? He turned to Chopper.

"What's a steed?" "It's a horse, I think…" "But I don't have a horse." Luffy stated, pointing out the obvious.

Chopper gave this a little thought, before a light bulb flickered above his hat-covered head. "Aha! I can be your steed! I can use my Walk Point, to be your horse!" He beamed, happy to be of use.

Walrus had been too busy hoisting himself onto his own horse, to be bothered with this conversation. He looked to Luffy, atop of Chopper. It was strange, to see a boy riding a reindeer, but the remark Walrus made was somewhat weirder.

"My word, as an equestrian, you have an odd taste in horses, old boy. What's it called?" "Chopper!" "You filthy swine, you!"

Everyone from Sanji to Pugsy gave sweatdrops as they heard this last outburst.

"Well, no matter! We must get to ready to joust!" Walrus put his lance into the proper position. Luffy's response to this was to put his arm in the similar fashion.

"Three, two, one, and JOUST!" The two "steeds" charged at one other. Luffy's arm stretched back, while Walrus' lance trusted forward. Luffy's trademark "Gomu-Gomu noooooo…" could be heard, easily.

"Chain-Chain Final Charge!" The lanced seemed to be extending in mass, getting longer and longer. Chains could be seen being added to its end.

"LANCE!" Luffy finished, his stretched arm held outwards. The move was similar to the Gomu-Gomu no Kama, making a sickle like motion, however, the arm was thrust forward, instead of the Sickle technique.

When Luffy had used the Gomu-Gomu no Kama, on his first encounter with Buggy the Clown, the attack had not been successful. The Kinkyuu-Dasutsu had stopped Buggy from being hurt. However, this time, the effect was at its peak.

Luffy's "lance" had been his arm and fist. The arm thrust forward like a lance, and the point of the lance was his fist. The knuckles made contact with Walrus' neck, and even through the armour, the attack's strength had been brutal.

The old knight had been thrown off of his horse, and fell to the ground. The chains that had been growing on his real lance shrunk away, disappearing from existence. "Y-You win, boy. You have won me as your last prize."

The old man's laugh could be heard from the rooftops of the village nearby. "Ah, so what position will be I filling, my new fellows? Shipwright? Captain? Treasure Hunter?"

Ussop, Nami and Luffy all gave glares to Walrus, for trying to take their positions. Nami was first to come up with an idea. "No, I think we may have a better use for you, Walrus-san."

Considering the armour was quite heavy, it took both Sanji and Zoro to throw Walrus overboard.

"You can be our new look-out, Walrus." Nami smirked, in her minx-like manner. "Sayonara!" She joined the others in joining teasingly.

The old codger was very naïve and actually believed what they were saying. "Ah, then fare thee well, my crewmates! I bid thou-tachi a bon voyage!" He waved his clanking arm about, at the ship now leaving port.
