A/N: Sorry for the long wait... hit a bit of a wall when it comes to fanfics... don't ask... long story... Anjou the new chapter...
Chapter 205: The Doughnut Race
The Doughnut was a race involving boats. Boats they had to build form barrels.
"All tight! It's time for the doughnut race." Said the announcer, "An obstacle course around the shoreline of the island. You must make the boats out of 6 barrels and 4 oars as we are doing 7 person rules."
Yes, since it varied, number of barrels and oars used varied pending on how many people participated.
"I Itomimizu will be your MC getting coverage atop Chuchun a rare Super Speed Sparrow." Said the announcer.
IT was time to introduce the contestants.
"We have Team Straw Hat, with Nami the navigator, Usopp the Sharp Shooter, Isaribi the diver, Robin the archeologist, Ino the assistant cook and Hinata… the gentle fist user, Gaara the night watchman and their boat the barrel tiger." Said Itomimizu.
"This is going to sink." Mumbled Nami.
"Hey, what do you want, I'm not a carpenter." Said Usopp.
"And of course we have Team Foxy with the crew idol Porche!" announced Itomimizu, taking a pause for cheering, "Along with Gina the sexy ship right, the lovely Fuku, Hakkaku one of many cooks, Kotohime one of our ships many musicians, Fish man Capote and smooth skinned star shark Monda and their boat the cutie wagon."
Foxy's crew cheered at this.
"Why do you have a shark?" asked Nami.
"There's no rule against having a shark." Pointed out Porches.
However that wasn't the only problem… well it was less of a problem and more of something really, really weird.
"Why do you look like me?" asked Ino.
"Why do you look like me?" asked Fuku who was Ino's spitting image… except for a couple years older.
"This is weird…" muttered Gina with a sweat drop.
"You got that right." Agreed Kotohime.
"Both team go to the starting line." Said Itomimizu.
The two headed for the starting line.
"We're going to sink you." Said Porche.
"Go ahead and try." Said Nami.
They were given eternal poses to the island so they wouldn't get lost.
"All right! Let me explain the rules." Said Itomimizu, "It is one lap around the island. Gun, canon, cutlass and other lethal weapon are allowed."
"It's supposed to be a race?" asked Naruto.
"Apparently." Said Kyubi.
"All right! Now on your marks, get set doughnut!" yelled Itomimizu.
The moment the race got started, members of Foxy's crew let out a rain of death!
"That is the perfect way to put it." Said Kyubi.
The rain of death sent the ship flying into the air.
"We have to get it upright or we'll sink!" yelled Nami.
Thankfully they were right side up when they landed.
"Don't sink just yet. I want an actual competition." Taunted Porche.
That was when a giant rock was also headed their way.
They just threw a boulder at us!" yelled Nami clearly panicking.
"Hey, Gaara do you think you can handle it?" asked Isaribi.
Gaara nodded, he extended his sand to engulf the boulder, which crumbled into dust, causing everyone to sweat drop from Foxy's crew.
"Note to self… never take him." Thought Foxy who began to sweat.
"Oh… right… forgot you could do that." Said Nami.
"Looks like their handling it over there." Said Isaribi.
"What?" asked Nami
They turned to see the Sanji beating up the members of Foxy's crew.
"Keep is up Sanji!" cheered Ino.
"All right! It's time for my turn!" said Isaribi, she turned into her fish form, grabbed a rope and dived into the water.
She began to pull the boat.
"They have a fishman too." Mumbled Gina.
"Why those…" muttered Kotohime, "I swear I will drag them to the underworld with me!"
"Why are you on this boat again?" asked Fuku.
"I could say the same to you." Muttered Kotohime.
"Stop them Capote!" ordered Porche.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Said Capote.
That was when Capote used fishman karate on the water slicing it half.
"Robin! Rock Paper, scissors." Said Ino.
Robin nodded since both of their devil fruits could be suited for this.
Robin shoes paper, while Ino chose scissors.
"All right!" said Ino, "Mind Mine Destruction!"
That was when Fuku began to attack her crewmates.
"Fuku? What are you doing?" asked Hakkaku.
"I don't know! I can't control it." Said Fuku.
"She used on her look alike." Said Usopp.
"Gee… I wonder why…" mumbled Nami sarcastically.
"Usopp… do you have any dials in case the get ahead of us?" asked Hinata.
"I do have a Breath Dial." Said Usopp.
"Use it now… the bigger lead we get the better." Said Nami.
Usopp tried to use it but the boat didn't move.
"It must be too small." Said Hinata.
"I do have an impact dial." Said Usopp.
"We have a large enough lead anyway." Said Gaara, "There's no point."
Meanwhile Foxy, decided to try to sabotage the crew and took Hamburg with him.
"What is he doing?" asked Luffy.
However Foxy's crew decided to distract Luffy with food, as well as Naruto.
The cursing thing is that they were able to distract Chopper, Kiba and Akamaru with food too. It wasn't so surpassing they distracted Sanji with women and Zoro with booze.
"Hey! Stop this!" yelled Sakura.
She punched the ground creating cracks causing everyone sweat drop.
"Are we just going to let Foxy win like that?" asked Sakura.
"Don't worry Sakura." Said Sasuke.
"What? Why?" asked Sakura.
"Do you really think that idiot will be able to trick them in any way?" asked Sasuke.
"I guess you're right." Sighed Sakura.
Sasuke blinked, it wasn't the reaction he was expecting.
Meanwhile with the crew in the race they got to a coral reef, which much like all other animal in the island were long and it made a sort of forest of coral.
"Now they have reached the Long Ring Reef." Said Itomimizu.
"All right! Isaribi slow down." Said Nami.
"Why?" asked Isaribi.
However Foxy's crew managed to use this slow down to get passed them.
"Why those…" muttered Ino.
"It's going." Said Nami with a smirk.
They watch as the crew coming back in and out in the forest of coral.
"All right! That way!" called out Nami.
They went into a certain spot and the currents began to pull the boat.
"That's pretty clever." Said Isaribi.
"What did she do?" asked Hinata.
"I was told that there's a whirlpool on the other side. It created a maze of currents. If you enter at the fight point it will take you to the other side." She explained.
"We can coast for a while." Said Isaribi.
However Foxy decided to interfere, by shooting an arrow with a smoke screen to blind them. However it didn't work.
"That was pointless." Said Ino with a sweat drop.
They got to the other side and they saw the whirlpool.
"The famous Long Ring Whirlpool!" said Itomimizu.
"That's long all right! A long way down!" yelled Usopp.
"Usopp you still have that impact dial on you?" asked Nami.
Usopp nodded.
"All right!" said Nami.
Nami told him her plan, which was to use the impact dial to use it to jump the whirlpool and a cove behind, and it worked.
For the rest of the way, they continued to evade Foxy's plans, which included shooting at them and poorly made signs.
Though thanks to Capote and Monda working together they were able to catch up, but just barely.
Just when Team straw Hat was about to reach the goal, Foxy did his final plan.
"Slow Slow Beam!"
For the Straw Hats everything seemed to slow down, they had no idea what was going on. This was enough time for Porsche's team to cross the finish line. When the race was over, the crew just in silence.
When they explained what happened the crew, everyone was confused.
"What you saw were Slow Poke Photons in process." Said Foxy.
"What?" asked Naruto.
Foxy began to explain the process of Slowpoke Photons… which was a yet undiscovered particle that slowed thing down however…
"That explanation was so long I got lost!" said Naruto.
This sent Foxy into one of his depressions.
However Foxy decided to show them the power when he revered, he had Hamburg shoot a bazooka at him.
"Slow Slow Beam!"
The shell slowed down in midair.
"Everything the light touches slows down." He explained lightly patting the shell, "The slowpoke effect last for about 30 second and then it was like nothing even happened."
"You might want to move." Said Gaara.
"What? Why?" asked Foxy.
"It's been about…" said Gaara.
However before Gaara could finish that sentence. The shell exploded causing everyone sweat drop.
"Why did you even try to warn him?" asked Kiba.
Gaara shrugged.
"No wonder their confident in winning." Muttered Sasuke.
"With such a stupid power…" muttered Sanji.
"Either way we won the doughnut race." Said Foxy.
And so the announcement to see which crewmember they would has arrived.
"The crew member I want…" said Foxy.
There was a silence among the Straw Hats.
"Hyuga Hinata…" said Foxy.
Next Time: With Hinata now a member of Foxy's crew, the next game they must win her back... however Porche is unhappy with Hinata a part of the crew... why? Let's just say she's old news... What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: Three out of the four I added are from Filler Episodes of Naruto, Fuku is that Princess Ino had to pretend to be, Kotohime is that ninja from the Fuma Clan (the one who survived to the end) and Hakkaku is that food ninja.
Gina on the other hand is a member of Foxy's crew in the manga (she doesn't appear in the anime).
And yes the other event will also have bottom of the barrel filler characters... it was either that or OCs...
