Chapter 15: First Win
"Once again, the Groggy Monsters have proved themselves undefeatable!" says Tim. "Shaman Team tried their best, but they didn't make it in the end anyway! I will now express a quote of lament for the losers!"
Pirika is kneeling on the ground, with her hands over her face and weeping bitterly. "No… Brother… What am I going to do without you…?"
Anna puts her hand over head and says, "Stop crying and watch what's happening." So Pirika raises her head.
Everyone is shocked; Ren, Horohoro, and Pai-Long are back on their feet! It's as if they just came into the ring fresh and new! "INCREDIBLE!" exclaims Tim. "The shamans are back on their feet again! What great endurance they have!"
"How is it possible!" exclaim the pirates. "Nobody can survive such terrible blows from the Groggy Monsters!"
"When in a battle or game," Ren begins speaking. "The word 'death' does not appear in my dictionary!"
"Don't think you can kill me with your cheating moves!" says Horo.
"REN! HOROHORO! YOU ROCK!" shout Yoh, Ryu, and Chocolove with joy.
"BROTHER! YOU'RE ALIVE! KICK THEIR ASS!" shouts Pirika.
Foxy calls to the Groggy Monsters, "Hey! I want to order a monster burger!"
As if a lightning bolt struck them, all the Foxy Pirates' jaws drop to the ground and eyes bulge out upon hearing what Foxy said.
"What's with those expressions?" says Anna curiously.
"This… this… this can't be possible!" stammers Tim. "Boss ordered a monster burger! Death is surely inevitable for Shaman Team now!"
Hamburg reaches into his pant and pulls out two large iron clubs. "Gotta mash them all!"
Pickles takes out two large knives. "It's time to slice and dice!"
Big Pan takes out two large metal plates and bangs them together. "Smash them into patties!"
Then the Groggy Monsters begin running towards the three. "This is it! The deadliest three-man combo!" says Tim. "The Monster Burger! Death is the only result out of this! This is surely red card material! Unfortunately, the referee is doing his daily exercise, so he didn't see any of this!"
"What kind of a referee are you!" Ryu shouts at the referee who is doing stretches while looking away from the ring.
"Don't Ryu! You can't do anything about it!" Yoh tells him.
"You people are the vilest and most disgusting I can find. Trying to turn me into hamburger meat? Cannibals like you are a disgrace!" shouts Ren.
Bason appears beside him and asks, "What can I do for you, Master Ren?"
"Spirit Unity. What other options are there?" replies Ren. So Ren quickly performs spirit unity with Bason.
"I'm gonna mash you!" sings Hamburg as he runs toward Ren. Quick as a flash, Ren charges at him in a blink of an eye. "Uh? So fast!"
Ren throws a quick kick into Hamburg's face, followed by a stronger kick in the right cheek, and finally an even stronger kick at the chin. "OOOOOF!"
While Hamburg is in pain, Pai-Long sends the gorilla flying into the air with a powerful uppercut, heading straight towards Big Pan.
Pickles sees him flying towards Big Pan and shouts, "Big Pan! Stop banging the plates!"
Big Pan did not hear him, and when Hamburg flies in between the plates, he crushes his own team captain in between them. When Big Pan noticed it, Hamburg is already flat like a hamburger patty.
Pickles angrily stares at the shamans. "How dare you hurt the captain! I'll slice you into pieces!"
"Nipopo Punch!"
Horohoro hits Pickles in the side hard with his oversouled skateboard. Pickles flies straight into the referee, who is looking away from the ring.
CRASH
"That will teach you stupid referee a lesson!" says Horo angrily.
The referee crawls out from under the fallen Pickles and says, "You dare hit me… You did it on purpose! Red card!" But then he notices that his whistle and the red card aren't with him, and then he passes out.
Anna, who is standing next to him, has the whistle and red card in her hand. "A referee like you doesn't deserve these."
Ren, Horohoro, and Pai-Long turn to Big Pan, the only person left and the ball of the opponent's team. "I'll take on you first!" says Horo. "Icicle Assault!" He fires several giant icicles at Big Pan. The icicles pound against Big Pan and he roars in pain while taking several steps backwards.
"Amazing! It's a special technique of the shamans!" says Tim. The pirates are amazed; for this is the first time they saw a shaman in action.
"Pai-Long, throw me up!" Ren tells the undead. Pai-Long lifts up Ren and hops into the air, and when at a fair distance away from the ground, he hurls Ren at Big Pan.
Ren flies towards Big Pan and grabs the giant merman by its upper row of teeth and amazingly pulls it over, lifting the giant up from the ground! An easy way to picture this is Ren practically lifted the giant into the air!
"IMPOSSIBLE!" screams Tim. "A LITTLE BOY LIFTED A GIANT FROM THE GROUND!"
"WHAT!" scream the Foxy Pirates.
"THIS CAN'T BE!" gasps Foxy.
"GET HIM, REN!" shout the boy shamans.
"HIYAAAAAA!" shouts Ren as he falls closer and closer to the goal. The ball on Big Pan's head dives straight into the goal.
SMASH
Everyone is speechless. Totally speechless… Shocked beyond beyonds… So shocked that they can't move…
"G… Go… GOAL!" Tim screams into the megaphone.
The referee wakes up and says, "What happened…?"
Anna hands him his whistle and says, "What are you waiting for? Blow it!"
"Damn right! That blue-hair brat hit me!" says the referee angrily, and then he blows into the whistle.
BEEEEEEEEEEP
"The whistle is blown!" says Tim. "The goal is official! SHAMAN TEAM WON!"
"Huh…?" says the referee, confused.
"Thanks for blowing," says Anna.
Jun finally woke up again. "Uh… What happened…?"
"We won!" Tamao tells her. "We won!"
"We won…? But Ren…"
"I'm still alive," says the voice of Ren. Jun turns to him and is shocked, but then she runs to embrace him tightly.
"Thanks god you're still alive!"
"Get off me, sister! This is embarrassing!"
Pai-Long puts his hand on Jun's shoulder. "Lady Jun, don't fear. We have won and no one will be lost."
"Thank you so much, Pai-Long!"
Pirika runs to Horo and hugs him tight. "BROTHER! YOU'RE ALIVE!"
"OUCH! You're giving me pain! Don't hug so tight!" complains Horo.
Genji walks up to them and says, "Look at all the wounds on your body! You need medical treatment quick!"
"Then is the doctor at home?" asks Chocolove.
"I happen to be very good at medical treatment! I healed Peggy myself!" Genji points to the bandage on Peggy's leg.
"Nah, I don't need any treatment," says Ren. "This pain is nothing… Urgh!" He falls onto his knees and coughs out some blood.
"REN!" screams Jun.
"Seriously! You need treatment at once!" says Genji in panic. So he quickly takes out medical equipments and began treating Horo and Ren. Pai-Long doesn't need any, because… you should know it.
"Well, at least nobody died. That's good enough," says Tamao.
-
"Shaman Team has won fair and square! Their captain now has the right to choose a member from our crew!" says Tim.
Yoh turns to the Foxy Pirates and stares at each of the crews. The pirates are wondering to themselves who he will choose.
"He must be looking at me!"
"It's me for sure!"
"I knew he's going to pick me!"
"I'm not prepared for it yet!"
"Yoh, you must bring back Lyserg! You must!" Ryu tells him.
"You don't have to tell me. It's obvious whom I'm going to choose," says Yoh, and then he turns to Lyserg. "Lyserg, come back!"
Immediately upon hearing this, Lyserg takes out the mask on his face and zooms straight towards the shamans. "Don't go, little Lyserg!" cries Porche.
Ryu opens his arms wide and says, "Lyserg! Come to my arms!" But Lyserg runs past him… Ryu freezes there, and cold air blows past him…
Lyserg takes Yoh by the hands and says in joy, "Thank you so much, Yoh! I knew you would choose me!"
"Of course I would! We're friends, right?" replies Yoh with a smile.
Tokageroh circles around the frozen Ryu. "Hey, what's wrong with him?"
"He's cold and frozen, that's what," says Chocolove.
"All right! You win this round! Don't think you can get lucky on the next game!" says Foxy angrily. "We have an advantage in the next game too!"
It immediately came to Yoh that Anna is participating in the next game. He quickly goes to her and asks, "Anna, you're going up next… Will you be…"
"You don't have to worry about me," says Anna. "Jun is an expert cyclist, so nothing will go wrong."
-
"The track for the next game, Double Dash Cycling, will take a while to prepare. In the meantime, please enjoy the cheerleading show directed by none other than our cute Porche-chan!" announces Tim.
"YEAH!" cheer the pirates.
While the cheerleading is going on, the shamans are sitting in a circle (except Ryu, who is watching the performance) and discussing on some matter. "So who are we going to choose if we win the next game?" asks Chocolove
"Hmmm… I don't know. None of those pirates really suited my liking," replies Yoh.
"He said that we can take the flag if there aren't any good choices," reminds Manta.
"Yeah, that will do. But suppose we won more games after that?"
Ryu suddenly pops into the group and says, "Can we choose that girl?" He points to a particular sexy girl, wearing skimpy dress and dancing on the stage.
The cheerleaders amaze everyone with acrobatic back flips and movements. The show finally ends with them forming a human pyramid, with Porche standing on the top, holding a large banner that says, "Foxy Pirates Rocks My Socks!"
"YAAAAAAAY!" shout the pirates with joy.
"It should say, 'Foxy Pirate Sucks My Socks!'" says Chocolove.
Genji has just finished tying the last bandage onto Horo. "There! Feeling better?"
"Thanks a lot, old man," says Horo.
Genji turns to Ren, covered in bandages and lying on a mattress, and says to him, "You should rest for now, kid. You took quite a fatal blow, and if you move around, your wounds will get worse."
Ren just responds with a, "Hmph!"
-
About 20 minutes later…
"Sorry for the wait!" Tim says into the megaphone. "It sure took a while to prepare the obstacles for the next game—Double Dash Cycling! As the name implies, it's a bicycle race! The rules are similar to Donut Race! All you have to do is race around the island on a bicycle, beating your opponent to the finish line! What's special is that each bike carries two people! It is important that nobody falls off the bike, or you're disqualified!"
"Okay, I'll control the bike and you sit at the back," Jun tells Anna.
"And I'll kick off anyone who comes near us," says Anna.
"And just like Donut Race, other pirates may try and distract you also!" continues Tim. "That's the basic rules for this race! There's nothing special; it's just like a simple bike race! And now, may we introduce the participants of this game? First, in Shaman Team, we have the lovely Tao Jun and the beautiful Anna Kyouyama!"
"And tyrannical," adds Horo. This resulted in a rock flying into his face, thrown by Anna.
"Anna! Show them what you got!" cheers Yoh.
"Don't lose! I don't wanna lose Lyserg again!" shouts Ryu.
"I'm cheering for you, Lady Jun!" says Pai-Long.
The Foxy Pirates are discussing among themselves these:
"I want that green-haired girl! She's sexy!"
"That blond chick is cute! I don't care if she's engage! I want to play with her!"
"I prefer the green-hair one too! The blond one's eyes give me creeps!"
"And on our side, we have the downright sexy Gina-chan and the always-ready Donoban!" continues Tim.
Ryu's eye immediately becomes a heart. "WOOHOO! I want to pick Gina when we win! She's downright sexy indeed!"
The participants got their bikes ready at the starting line. Donoban turns to Jun and says, "We may look unarmed and all, but you're in for a surprise when we start!"
"Don't underestimate me!" replies Jun. "I was a champion cyclist back in high school."
Gina hurls an insult at Anna. "Hey flat breast! Do you think you're sexy enough to beat me?"
An explosion occurs inside Anna's mind upon hearing this, and she replies in a really scary tone, "I'll make you regret for saying this."
"Uh oh… That girl made Miss Anna mad…" says Tamao in fear.
"Look's like bad news…" says Manta.
"Okay! Is everybody ready?" says Tim. "On your mark… Get set… GO!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
Double Dash Cycling and the upcoming Skater Ball are not in the original; I made them up. In OP, there is only Donut Race, Groggy Ring, and Combat. Because I want all the shamans to participate, I had to make up some more games. I'm afraid that these two games I made up won't be exciting as the others, so please forgive me.
If you didn't know, Gina and Donoban are also in the manga. After Luffy defeated Foxy, he was told to choose which people he wants to pick, and you see Gina and Donoban among the choices there. They didn't have a role at all, but I gave them one here! I'll post a link here so you can see. Just make the (dot) part into a real dot and close together any spaces you see, as this site cannot show hyperlinks properly.

I know Ren isn't that powerful enough to lift up a giant, but what other cool moves can he pull off without using Over Soul? Plus, he works out a lot and after doing Soul Unity; he should be stronger than before. That part is originally performed by Zoro in OP, and here's a link to give you an idea what Ren did.
