No POV:

Ethan yawned as he woke up. Sleeping in the crow's nest made his muscles cramped, so he did a few stretches before preparing to jump down. However, something caught his eye. "Guys! There's a ship coming at our direction!" he yelled down. At once, everyone woke up and came out. Ethan jumped down as well before standing next to Robin. "Did you sleep well?" he asked. "Yes, thank you." she said shyly. Ethan smiled before looking back at the sea. "Hey, I see it! It looks like a pirate ship! But it's kinda weird." said Usopp with a confused look on his face. "What do you mean?" asked Chopper. "The crew is just sitting there, and I don't see the sails, the flag, or the captain." replied Usopp. Ethan froze, then grew pale. "Ethan? What's wrong?"asked Robin with concern. "I'm feeling a chill up my spine. Let's hope this isn't the result of what I think happened." said Ethan in a trembling voice. He then quickly ran off into his lab and closed the door quickly. The crew looked at each other. "What made him so freaked out that he ran away from a ship?" asked Usopp. The others all shrugged. "Although, if something is making Ethan feel scared, shouldn't we be a little worried? I mean, he is one of our most powerful fighters." said Nami. Luffy thought for a while. "Shishishi! Nah, we should be fine." he finally said. After sailing for a while, they met some fog. "Argh, I can't navigate in the fog! It's too dense! Someone go get Ethan to shine a light." said Nami. "Alright." said Chopper. He walked over and went down the deck into the lab. "Hey Ethan, Nami wants you to...WHO-MMPH!" said Chopper as he was silenced by Ethan. For before him was the box containing the Oharian with the door open. "Shh, please be quiet! Don't tell the crew about this yet." whispered Ethan before releasing Chopper. "Who is she? Why are you keeping her in there?" asked Chopper. "Well, I found her heavily injured in an island. She was burned, and the skin was fused with her clothes. Because I am not a medic like you, I did the only thing I could do the time: I skinned her alive and put her in some freshly-prepared Elixir of Life. Currently, her body is almost 100% to what she would look like before the incident." replied the alchemist. 'Then why didn't you see me? Why didn't you tell the rest of the crew? Don't you trust us?" asked Chopper once more. "The reason why I didn't tell any you is because I don't have that right. The only one who has that right is Robin, since they both come from the same island." said Ethan. Chopper sighed. "Alright. By the way, Nami wants you to go shine a light through the fog. Oh, and you will let me check on her health time to time from now one, right?" asked Chopper. "Yes. Like I said, I'm no doctor, so you'll be the best one for the job. Also, don't take her out of the tank. Now lets go up." said Ethan. He carefully closed the door and walked up the stairs. "Finally. What took you guys so long?" asked Nami with annoyance. "Nothing." said Ethan, before walking toward Robin. "Tanuki knows." whispered Ethan into her ears. Robin widened her eyes. "He also said he'll keep this a secret until you decide to tell the rest of the crew. Not only that, he said he'll watch over her condition. And...I'm sorry for failing you." said Ethan. Robin smiled. "It's fine. I'm just glad you saved her." she said gently. Ethan blushed, before mumbling about lighting the way and walking towards the front of the ship. Robin sighed. 'I must be falling for him." she said to herself. "Oh, really?"

Robin turned in shock. Nami was right beside her, a broad grin on her face. "How much did you here?" asked Robin. Her mind started to cloud over from adrenaline. "Just when you said to yourself that you have a crush on Ethan." said Nami. 'Good, she didn't hear.' thought Robin. 'Wait, did she just say I have a crush on Ethan?'

"W-what are you talking about? I-I don't have a crush on him." she said. "Yes you do! And judging from his reaction, I think Ethan does too." said Nami. Just then, Luffy whooped. "Guys! Ethan said there is an island near us! Nami! Set course!" he yelled happily. "Sorry, gotta go! We'll talk later!" she said. Robin nodded. But in the corner of her eyes, she saw an outline of a ship. "Why do I have a feeling we'll see that ship again?" she asked herself. Then she shrugged and pulled out a book to read.

After half an hour, the crew reached an island. "Yahooo!" yelled Luffy. He then dragged Usopp and Chopper along with him and ran off into the island. "Those idiots. Does he even know about this place?" she said. "We'll just have to get them back after securing our position.' sad Sanji. But when they hopped onto the island, a giant ship appeared and launched two claws beside the Going Merry, trapping her within. The crew, which numbered to about 500 members, appeared on deck. Thy all seemed to wear a black mask. "Who are you guys?" asked Zoro in a bored voice. We are the Foxy Pirates! And our captain is about to challenge your captain in a friendly Davy Back Fight!" the crew yelled. "D-Davy...Back...Fight?" whimpered Ethan. "Yes! A Davy Back Fight!" yelled the crew gleefully. "NOOOOOOOO! NOT AGAIN! I PLAYED THIS F*ING GAME EXACTLY 299 F***ING TIMES! IF I HAVE TO SEE ONE MORE CREW MEMBER DISAPPEAR FOREVER OR IF I HAVE TO JOIN ONE MORE GODDAMN CREW BECAUSE OF THIS F***ING GAME, I'LL F***ING KILL MYSELF!" screamed Ethan in despair. "Whoa, whoa, calm down. We don't have to play." said Nami. "You don't understand. If the Captain accepts, we have to play no matter what, or risk being a laughingstock for all eternity! Luckily, our captain isn't the sort to pick a..." Ethan trailed off as he remembered just what kind of captain Luffy is. As if to emphasize that his thoughts were right, a faint shot rang into the air from the distance. "We're f***ed. Why does manliness have to exist? I swear it's a curse." said Ethan. Sanji sighed, before lighting a cigarette. "Now we really can't back down." he said. Robin and Nami sighed as well, but for different reasons. "Why are men so stubborn?" they asked themselves. As the Foxy Pirate crew started to set up food and souvenir booths, the Strawhat crew splitted up. "So, want to eat something?" Ethan asked Robin. "Hmm, perhaps some cotton candy." replied Robin. After buying two cones, Ethan gave one to Robin. They walked around, enjoying their sweets. "Feels like a date. Although I've never had a romantic relationship before..." said Ethan. Robin face heated up and smiled. Just then, Chopper walked over. "Hey guys, Luffy chose three games with Captain Silver Fox Foxy to take back this old nomad Tonjit's hoorse, Shelly." he said. "A what?" asked Ethan. "Oh, the vegetation and animals are long on this island, so their names have been elongated. Oh yeah, and Foxy mentioned someone named Davy Jones. "Who is he?" asked Chopper. "Well, Davy Jones was a fishman who was cursed by the Sea God, doomed to remain at sea forever. He has a head that looks like an octopus and a lobster claw for his right arm. He's always accompanied by a storm, being an embodiment of the sea, and his job is to collect the souls of the dead and put them in the Locker. He commands the Flying Dutchman, but when a mutiny occurred, Van Der Decken took command and caused mayhem. However, Davy Jones eventually reclaimed it, and to this day, is still sailing around collecting the souls of the dead, although these days he collects anything he wants. If you ever meet him, don't fight him. Devil Fruit users especially can't win. Ever." said Ethan. "He's just a myth. But where did you find out his appearance? Not even I could find out about that." said Robin with an amused expression. "He's real alright, I summoned him once. I wanted to make a deal, but the price was too high, so I dismissed him. Be careful when making deals with him because he always holds you accountable with years of service that needs to be owed. And he doesn't actually let you go once the debt is paid, you just become part of the ship forever." said Ethan. Chopper shuddered. Robin laughed a little. "Doctor-san, would you like some cotton candy?" she asked, holding out her's. Chopper gladly accepted a few chunks and scarfed the down. "That was an interesting story, Ethan-kun." she said. "Thank you." he replied. Robin just smiled again. Just then the games began. The first game was called the Donut Race, with Nami, Usopp, and Robin participating. The second game was Hit and Dead Ball, with Sanji, Zoro, Chopper, and Ethan participating. The last game was called Combat, a game of single combat between captains. Meaning Luffy had to participate. Usopp was elected to be his manager. "Alright then, let's get this show on the road!" yelled the announcer. He was an odd man who flew a giant sparrow. The first race was a boat race around a portion of the island. The competitors had to make boats out of barrels and sail it around a portion of the Long-Ring Island, the island that they were on which was actually a single island but was partially submerged underwater, leaving ten smaller island on the surface. Luckily, Usopp was the most skilled at building, so they made a boat that could actually float. After everyone finished, they all lined up to start. "Competitors get ready... start!" yelled the announcer. Robin summoned arms to row the boat faster (Nami rowed as well and Usopp helped by blasting the ship forward with an impact dial from Sky Island), and soon, the Barrel Tiger (the boat's name) was in the lead. However, a bunch of distractions tried to deter them from the race, such as sign pointing the wrong way, Foxy disguised as Hamburg's dying grandma, and even a fake goal post. But Nami either ignored the distractions or bashed them away, causing the announcer to call her various insults. In the end, the crew of the Barrel Tiger reached the finish line... if it weren't for Foxy. "Fefefefefefe! Do you really think I'll let you guys win? Slow-Slow Beam!" he yelled. Foxy pointed a strange hand sign at the Barrel Tiger. From his fingers, a ray pinkish ray of circles hit the Barrel Tiger, instantly slowing it down to almost a standstill. "What...is...this?!" yelled Usopp slowly. "Fefefefefefe! I ate the Slow-Slow Fruit and became a slow man! I may be slow, but I can make others or things slow as well for thirty seconds!" Foxy laughed. And so, the Strawhats lost the first of the games. "Now then, who to choose..." said Foxy to himself. "Captain! I request that we choose Tony Tony Chopper!" yelled a girl named Porche. "Very well! We choose the reindeer Dr. Tony Tony Chopper!"

"WHAAAAAAAAT?! NO! I ONLY BECAME A PIRATE BECAUSE I WANTED TO SAIL WITH LUFFY!" Chopper yelled, sobbing. "Man up! Don't you have any shame? Listen, a pirate's life is full of surprises, and sometimes you'll find yourself having to leave your crew forever! So when you became a pirate, you signed up for all of that!" yelled Zoro. "Besides, you'll be fine! Because you see..." said Ethan as he turned towards the Foxy Pirates with a malicious grin. "Out of the 299 games I have played, whenever Hit and Dead Ball came up, I've never got out once!"

"Ha! Yeah right!" jeered the Foxy Pirates. As the field was being set up, Ethan hummed to himself. "Why are you suddenly so cheerful?" asked Robin with a smile. "Oh, nothing. It's just that for some reason, I feel like we'll win." said Ethan happily. "Are you really that confident?" asked Robin. "Yes. Because my secret weapon is..." he whispered something into her ear. Robin looked surprised, then amused. "I see, that's very clever of you." she said. Ethan grinned at that. Then the announcer cleared his throat. "Ahem! Now then, will the players of the second round please step forward?" he yelled. "Well, got to go." he said, before walking away. Sanji and Zoro followed. "Hey, did you really win this game every single time?" they asked. Ethan grinned. "Just leave it to me." he replied. When they got to the playing field, they faced off their opponents: Foxy and eight burly men were waiting for them. "Right then, let me introduce you to the brothers Huey, Dewey, Louie, Cooly, Gooey, Noogy, Moogy, and Arnold." said Foxy. "Hello!" the brothers greeted. "The last guy's name doesn't match the others at all!" yelled Sanji and Zoro. Just then, an old man acting as referee tweeted his whistle. "Alright now, settle down. The rules are fairly simple. Each side are given 4 balls. No eating or damaging the balls and no weapons besides the cannon Mr. Dead-Hit, which can only be used to fire the ball, otherwise you'll be disqualified. You're out if the ball hits you anywhere but the face or if you step out of your territory. If you're out, you go out of the court and pass the balls at the remaining players if they need one." he yelled. Sanji turned to Zoro. "You heard that? No swords." he said. "But they're my precious!" Zoro protested. "Wrong story, you idiot!" yelled Ethan. After some coaxing, Zoro finally relinquished his swords to Nami. "Everyone ready? Then start!" yelled the referee. The two sides ran forward, though Ethan hung back slightly. "Hah! Take this!" yelled Huey as he threw the ball at Ethan. However, he dodged it with a simple sidestep. In fact, every ball thrown at him he dodged with very little motion. Zoro and Sanji took three guys out before getting out. "Fefefefefe! Now you're the only one left! Still feeling confident yet? Fefefefefe!" laughed Foxy. Ethan grinned. "The field has been set to my favor now. Boozing Sword! Shitty Cook! I'm sorry for using you as cannon-fodder. I sincerely apologize." he said. "WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THIS, I'LL CUT/TENDERIZE YOU, YAH SHITTY ALCHEMIST! they yelled. Ethan laughed, then started to pick up a ball. Following this, his pupils turned red. "Time to wrap this up." he said. Foxy and his team all threw their balls at him, but Ethan suddenly disappeared, only to reappear where he started. He then hit Arnold and got him out, and spent a leisurely time dodging the balls by disappearing and reappearing constantly, occasionally snatching a ball or taking a ball given by Sanji and Zoro and hitting another opponent. Soon, only Foxy remained. "Hmph, you're not bad. But can you dodge this? Slow-Slow Beam!" he yelled, firing his beams. Ethan dodged once more. "Gah! Take this, Mr. Dead-Hit!" he said, firing from a cannon that randomly appeared. Fortunately, Ethan caught the ball. "This is boring...Split Head." he mocked. At once, Foxy adopted a depressed look and fell to the ground. Sensing his chance, Ethan bashed Foxy's face into the ground by hitting him in the head with the ball. "The game is over! The winner by a lowly underhand advantage over a weakness is the Strawhats!" the referee yelled. "Shut it, you jackasses!" yelled Ethan as the crowd booed. After the area was cleaned up, Luffy chose Chopper to be in his crew once more. "Yay! Thanks guys!" he yelled. Combat was to be held on the Sexy Fox (Foxy's ship), so while the ship was being set up, the Strawhats mingled in the fair. Robin turned to Ethan. "I noticed that you seemed to vanish when you dodged those balls. Was that Shave?" she asked. "Shave? You mean of the Six Powers? I guess so, though I only move at that speed when I use Observation Haki seriously in order to dodge." said Ethan. Just then, the ship was ready for Combat. The two walked towards an arena that was built around the ship and found their spots along with the rest of the Strawhats. "Ladies and gentlemen! The time you have been waiting for has come! He's the epitome of handsomeness, the champion of Davy Back Fights, introducing our own Captain...'Silver Fox~~~' Foxy!" the announcer yelled. Foxy walked out with a pair of blue boxing gloves but without his jacket. The crowd went wild and cheered. "And now his competitor, the eater of the Gum-Gum Fruit and the one who was involved in the end of the Alabasta Civil War, Monkey D Luffy~~~!" yelled the announcer once more. When Luffy came out, the entire crowd hushed in disbelief. Luffy was shirtless, and had a dark green-blue skull- painted on his chest. But the most prominent feature was a giant afro on his head instead of the usual straw hat. The crowd was silent for a few more seconds, then exploded with sound. "What the..." said Zoro. "Yeah! Lookin' great, Luffy!" yelled Sanji. "GO, LUFFY!" yelled Chopper. "Oh please, what's so good about the afro?" said Nami with disinterest. "Our captain seems to be alright." commented Robin with a smile. At that, Nami groaned. "I'm jealous. I've never managed to pull of the afro look." grumbled Ethan. When the crowd quieted down, the match began. "Kyuubi Rush!" yelled Foxy as he let out a barrage of his fists. "Gum-Gum Gatling!" yelled Luffy as he countered with a barrage of his own fists. The two attacks canceled each other out. "Slow-Slow Beam!" said Foxy as he shot Luffy with his power. The rubber man instantly slowed, giving Foxy time to punch him several times before running into the ship. After a few seconds, Luffy was affected by the blows and struggled to get up. "Come back here, Split-Head!" he yelled as he dashed inside of the ship.

Inside:

Luffy found himself in a corridor with a bunch of closed doors. He opened the first one and saw Foxy in a horrible disguise of a nurse. "Oh, hello. Are you here for treatment?" asked Foxy. "No, I'm looking for some one else." said the oblivious Luffy. As he closed the door behind him, he suddenly thought about how similar the nurse and Foxy looked. "Hey, you're the guy's sister, right?!" he yelled as he barged in. "Counter Fox Blow!" yelled Foxy, now out of his disguise and holding a metal fox head in one of his gloves. He punched Luffy with it, leaving the young captain to struggle against the fox biting his face. "Stupid thing!" he yelled once he got his face free. He then opened another door and saw Foxy in a disguise of a cook. "Hello, what can I do for you today?" asked the so-called cook. "Hi. Have you seen a split-headed fatty who looks like an idiot?" asked Luffy in great detail. Immediately, Foxy fell to his knees, a depressed cloud over his head. "That's too much..." groaned Foxy. "AH! It's you!" yelped Luffy in surprise. "I was the nurse as well!" yelled Foxy. "EEEEHHHHHH?!" yelled Luffy."Of course, there is a reason why I've lured you here...Slow-Slow Beam, followed by Kyuubi Rush!" yelled Foxy. Luffy's movement began to slow down and was hurled towards a dark pit. When the beam wore off, he fell down into a room. Suddenly, the lights of the room turned on, and a strange machine was present in front of Luffy. The room itself was also strange, the walls, floor, and ceil. "Fefefefefe! Behold, a war machine capable of defeating sea kings in a single punch, the Gorilla Puncher 13!" laughed Foxy who was piloting the machine. Luffy frowned. "Why is it a gorilla?" "That's an excellent que- HEY! DON'T MOCK IT!" yelled Foxy. "Go, Gorilla Puncher 13!"

"Hey, are you just pedaling it forward?" asked Luffy as the machine moved. "Shut up! I'm not!" yelled Foxy. "Then why are you sweating?" "Gah! That's it! Slow-Slow Beam!" yelled Foxy. However, instead of aiming it at Luffy, he aimed it behind him. "Huh? What the- WOAH!" yelped Luffy. He barely dodged the beam, which was reflected by the mirrors behind him. But at the same time, he was hit by one of the Gorilla Puncher 13's punches...which set him on fire. "Fefefefefe! Mirrors can reflect Slowmo Photons! And these punches are flaming hot, literally!" laughed Foxy. "Now then, Mirror Racket!" Foxy pulled out a hand mirror and reflected his Slow Slow Beam with it. At the same time, he pedaled his machine forward, making Luffy dodge not only the beams but also the punches. "This is my Slowpoke Ball Demon Coach! How do you like it?" Luffy couldn't reply because he was too busy dodging. And then, he suddenly turned around and punched the mirror behind him. "AAAAHHHHHH! I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE!" yelled Foxy. "Gum Gum Pistol!" yelled Luffy, punching Foxy's face. In anger, Foxy shot his beams at a fast rate until he managed to slow down Luffy. "Now...Gorilla Punch Golden Hits!" yelled Foxy as he rapid fired the flaming fists of his machine. After thirty seconds, Luffy was blasted on to the deck.

Meanwhile, outside of the ship:

"Man, this is starting to become a long fight." said a Foxy pirate. "Well, he is made out of rubber. Not only that, he has a 'fro." replied another member. "What's with everyone? Does a 'fro power you up or something?" asked Nami. "Of course, Nami-swan!" said Sanji enthusiastically. "It has been scientifically proven." replied Ethan. "The 'fro is like a boost of confidence." explained Robin. Chopper nodded in agreement. Sudden activity on the deck distracted them. "Look! Our very own Captan Foxy has beaten Strawhat!" yelled the announcer. "WHAT! NOOOO!" panicked Ethan. "Wait, how can this be? Strawhat is getting up! "Yeah! Go Luffy!" yelled the Strawhats. Ethan however, let out a sigh of relief. Then everyone turned back to the fight.

On the deck:

"Well, this is a surprise." said Foxy, then drew his sword. "No matter, this time I'll rectify that. Slow Slow Beam Sword!" he yelled slashing the air. At once, Luffy's arms and legs were slowed down to a near standstill. "Hey, what the hell!" yelled Luffy. "Now to finish you off...Kyuubi Rush!" yelled Foxy as he repeatedly let out a barrage of his fists. After 30 seconds, Luffy was smashed against a mast. "And stay down." huffed Foxy. But when he turned away..."Hey, Split Hair, don't turn your back on me!" yelled Luffy. Foxy gaped, then got into a fighting stance. "This is going to be the last round!" the two yelled as they charged. "GUM GUM GATLING!/KYUUBI RUSH!" The two captains pummeled each other, then Luffy managed to punch Foxy onto the deck, who retaliated with a Slow Slow Beam. Imagine his surprise when the Beam was reflected back at him! "WWHHHAAAAAAAATT?!" screamed the audience. Foxy was frozen onto place with a shocked expression on his face as Luffy calmly dropped a piece of glass from one of his gloves and got into a stance. "Gum Gum..." Luffy began. "Nnnnnnnooooooooo, wwwwaaaaaaiiiiiittttt!" yelled Foxy, but it was too late. "BAZOOKAAAA!" screamed Luffy as he smashed both his palms into Foxy's stomach. After the time limit passed, Foxy was sent flying off the Sexy Fox. "The match is over! The match is over! The winner of this fight is Captain 'Strawhat' Luffy!" yelled the announcer. As the crowd cheered, Luffy raised his fists and bellowed in victory.

Chapter 10 end

Hi guys. Sorry for not updating in a while, but the finals were such a pain! Anyway, if you noticed, I based Davy Jones on Pirates of the Caribbean and I'm planning to use him as an antagonist later in the story. I also included the urban legend of Van Der Decken. Don't confuse him with the Van Der Decken in the anime, they don't have anything to do with each other. That being said, Merry Christmas, and have a happy New Year!
