Chapter 206: Groggy Ring

Everything became quiet. Hinata was grabbed by one of Foxy's crewmen.

"Hinata!" yelled Naruto.

"Naruto!" cried Hinata.

"Now swear your allegiance to me and put on this mask." Said oxy.

"Okay…" whispered Hinata.

"Why Hinata?" asked Naruto.

"It might because she has a bounty about her ties with the Marines as well as the fact she knows a rare fighting style." Said Robin.

"I see." Said Naruto.

"I have a plan." said Kyubi, "On the 0.000001 percent chance we lose the next round."

"Wait… why is a good chance we'll win." Said Naruto.

"Sakura! Not only is she super strong, but she's a teenaged girl and she also ships you and Hinata…"

"What?" asked Naruto.

"You'll see during the game." Said Kyubi.

A good chunk of Foxy's men began to look at Hinata.

"That's it!" yelled one of the crewmen, "I hereby declare Hinata to be the new idol of the Foxy Pirates."

A good chunk of the men of the crew cheered.

"WHAT!" yelled Porche.

"Sorry granny but your old news." Said one male member of the crew.

"Granny?" muttered Porche, "What does she have that I don't have."

"Moe!" said the crew members as an image of a young girl with chestnut hair dressed like a maid appeared behind them.

"How did you do that?" muttered Porche.

"You don't understand the power of Moe!" said one of the crewmembers.

Thankfully due to the fact that Hinata already competed in the doughnut Race the crew didn't need to know about the rule about no substitution.

"Let's just start the second round." Said Zoro.

"All right!" said Sakura, she turned to Naruto "Don't worry, I'll help get Hinata get back."

"Okay…" said Naruto.

"Sakura is a deadly combination right now, help her if you need her, but she has this in the bag." Said Kyubi.

All of the crewmembers who were playing that game went to the field.

"All right! Let's begin the second event! The Groggy Ring!" explained Itomimizu on his sparrow, "The way to play is to get the ball in to the goal, the twist is that it isn't a ball but a person. The team will decide who will play as the ball."

"Sanji." Said Zoro.

"Sanji…" agreed Sakura.

"Sanji." agreed Kiba.

"Sanji…" agreed Sasuke.

"Sanji." Agreed Chopper.

"Sanji…" sighed Naruto.

"Hey!" yelled Sanji at a ball was strapped to his head.

"Zoro said your name first." Said Sakura suddenly she began demonic looking, "I would have agreed to be the ball but I'm going to have to do a lot in this match."

"Yes… Sakura…" said Sanji trembling.

"Why is Sakura acting like that?" asked Chopper.

"It's like how Ino went crazy with me after interrupted that moment between Naruto and Hinata." Said Kiba.

"Oh…" said Chopper remembering when that happened.

"I think we better stay out Sakura way with this one." Said Sasuke.

"Good idea." Said Zoro.

"By the way!" Called out one member of Foxy's crew, "Weapons aren't allowed on the field."

Zoro and Sasuke exchanged looks and placed their swords on the sidelines.

"Are you sure you can handle it." Said Sanji.

"Don't worry, I doubt that Sakura won't lose." Said Sasuke.

That was when the announcement of Foxy's crew came. Along with Hamburg there was some sort of giant fish man, a big guy with strange shoulder pads, two very big guys who looked identical… and two guys of normal size.

"It's Hamburg as team captain." Announced Itomimizu "Pickles A.K.A. The Tackle Machine… Fujin and Raijin, the called the Legendary Stupid Brothers by the Marines, and in back the half giant, half fishman big Buns!"

Itomimizu proceed to mumbled his breath, "Oh and fill in members Aniki and Mo of the Moya Triad…"

"Hey! I demand a little more respect…" said the one named Aniki.

"The two usual guys have a cold." Mumbled a guy on the sideline to the remaining straw hats.

This made them sweat drop.

"The Groggy Monsters!" yelled Itomimizu.

"Really…" said Sakura, "This going to be fun."

"Kick their asses!" yelled Inner Sakura.

"All right! The object to force the opposite teams ball man into the ring. Whoever does this wins." Explained Itomimizu.

"All right, go into that circle Ball Man." Said Kiba.

Sanji groaned and went into the circle.

"So are you going to interfere?" asked Nami to Foxy.

"Please… this time I don't need to interfere." Said Foxy.

"By the way…" said Ino, "Did you know Hinata and Naruto are childhood friends?"

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Foxy.

"I'm saying is that you better not interfere or you'll regret it." Said Ino with the air turning black around her.

Foxy began to sweat.

"Shipper!" he thought, he took a breath, "Tell me is there anyone in the game that supports the romance as much as you do?"

"Sakura." Answered Ino.

Foxy smirked… Sakura was just a teenaged girl, she stood no chance again the Groggy Monster… even if she was a die-hard shipper.

Too bad Foxy didn't' know about her rare muscle condition….

"All right no time limit! First goal wins! All right!" called Itomimizu.

The whistle was blown and Pickles went in for a tackle, however Sakura merely punched him.

This was Sakura punch so it did send him flying.

Every single member of Foxy's froze when she did that.

"Looks like Sakura was the best to have in this game…" said Kiba.

"This just makes it less fun for the rest of us…" muttered Zoro.

That was when Fujin and Raijin who were called the Legendary Stupid Brothers for a reason, earn towards her. Sakura ended up upper cutting the two sending them flying into the air.

"And Team Rocket is blasting off again." Said Kyubi.

"You cannot stand up against the Moya Triad!" yelled Aniki.

Sakura punched both of them also sending them flying.

Hamburg knew what he had to do… he ran towards Sakura, knowing he had to stop her.

Porche watched on the sideline, she couldn't have Foxy win this time, she was the Idol and she needed to keep it that way.

"Hey! Hamburg!" yelled Porche.

Hamburg looked at Porche, that was when Porche flashed him, Sanji also saw this causing his nose to bleed.

"Can you please look?" asked Kyubi.

"I think you know what the answer is." Thought Naruto.

"Oh… you're mean." Muttered Kyubi.

Hamburg was of course distracted by this and Sakura punched him away.

"Why did you do that?" asked one of the member who now on Hinata's side.

"Because what is it that I don't have?" asked Porche.

"We told you." Said another member.

All of the member gave the thumbs up as an image of a pink haired girl wearing glasses and a pink sailor fuku appeared, "Moe!"

"How do those pictures appear?" asked Porche.

All that was left was big Buns who was scared.

Sakura calmly walked over to Big Bun and lifted his foot causing him to fall, however he didn't fall into the goal.

She turned to Naruto and gave a smile.

"Naruto! You make the goal" said Sakura, "After all it is Hinata we're talking about."

Naruto nodded.

"Hey, kit I have an even better idea how to do it." Said Kyubi.

Kyubi told him his idea and Naruto nodded.

That was when he began to turn in his full demon form, everyone in Foxy's crew started getting scared.

The full Demon Naruto ran towards Big Bun and using his tail forced the half giant, half fish man into the goal.

The referee blinked, he couldn't deny it, "The Straw Hats win!"

The crew cheered and even Hinata smiled.

Once everyone from Foxy's crew recovered… the members of the Hinata coalition began to bug Porche.

"Oh come! Why can you handle the fact that your old news and you're not Moe." Said one of the members.

"My time is not over!" said Porche.

"But… but…" said the member, "Moe!"

That was when the image of a small yellow horse with wings and a pink mane appeared.

"How can a horse be Moe?" asked Porche.

It's actually a pony, but still…

"You don't understand!" cried another member.

"Who will the Straw Hats choose since will they retake Hinata… which is very likely… or will they choose someone else." Said Itomimizu.

"Okay…" said Luffy, "Hi…"

Before he could say that.

"Wait." Said Nami, "Isaribi told me something during the match."

"What?" asked Luffy.

"I heard about this, but substitutions aren't allowed if someone from the next game is taken." Said Isaribi.

"If you pick him we'll be able to get Hinata back and we can end the game." Said Nami.

Foxy's crew began to boo the idea.

"In all the years of Davy Back Fight, such a tactic has been considered but not taken. Will she be the first to do so?" asked Itomimizu.

"Will stop that?" asked Nami glaring at the crew.

"Wait…" said Ino, "If we take him then he'll have to join our crew."

"Oh yeah…" said Nami.

"We don't want him." Said everyone else.

And this sent Foxy into another shame spiral.

"Come back Hinata!" yelled Luffy.

Hinata ran back towards the crew, and into Naruto arms.

"Oh Naruto…" she whimpered, "I was so scared I would never see you again."

"I know… I was too." said Naruto.

Naruto took a breath.

"Hinata… I lo…"

But before Naruto could finish his sentence, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"We're sorry we treat her like a play thing…" said one of them.

"We're really sorry." Said another.

"We now know that…" said a third.

"DIE!" yelled Sakura and Ino chasing them off.

The crewmembers screamed as they were chased off, causing everyone to sweat drop.

Note to self" thought Foxy , "Naruto, Hinata and especially Sakura will never join my crew."

There was still one more event in the Davy Back Fight, Luffy VS Foxy… the real question was who was going to win… only time would tell.

Next Time: The final game of the Davy Back Fight is on! It's going to be Luffy VS. Foxy... who will win? Find out next time!
