"What the hell do you mean by an inferno?" Nami said looking at Sanji and Zoro. "What are they doing?"

"They`re using what I taught them," I said remembering back to the training they endured.

-X-

It`s Elementary!

"So now that you guys have Ki control down, we can find out what elements you guys have natural affinities to," I said as I held up four Ki cards.

"Whoo-hoo!" Luffy and Chopper cheered.

"About time," Sanji said trying to light his cigarette.

"Finally," Zoro said with his devilish smile on his face.

I handed them each a Ki card, and told them to put some of their Ki into the cards. I also told them how the affinities worked with the cards. If they had a fire affinity, the card would ignite and turn to ash. If they had a wind affinity, the card would split in two. If they had a lightning affinity, the card would crumple up. If they had an earth affinity, the card would turn to dirt and crumble into dust. Finally, if they had a water affinity, the card would become wet or damp. Then they did as instructed.

"Mine crumpled up," Zoro said holding his out.

"Mine burned to ashes," Sanji said, holding the ashy remains of his card.

"Mine got wet," Chopper said proudly.

"Mine split in two," Luffy said proudly as well.

"That means Zoro has a lightning affinity, Sanji has a fire affinity, Chopper has a water affinity, and Luffy has a wind affinity like me," I said happily. "I was hoping we`d have all the elements here, but I guess we can do without an earth-user for now."

"So why did we need to do this?" Sanji asked.

"This will help us know which techniques you`re strongest with, and which one`s you`re weaker against, at least elemental wise," I said calmly. "So now, we can work on techniques like this!" I formed my Tatsumaki Ken as an example.

"Awesome!" Luffy and Chopper exclaimed with stars in their eyes. "We`ll be able to do that too!"

"I can`t lose this match," Foxy said quietly to himself. "Boys! One "Monster Burger", please!" All the Foxy Pirates went into shock.

"What...?" Nami said looking at the expressions on the Foxy Pirates faces.

"I wonder what that is..." Robin asked aloud.

"Not good by the looks of it," I said looking at their faces.

"My goodness! The boss has just ordered a Monster Burger!" Tubiflex announced almost panicking. "The Straw Hat team is in a major predicament now!"

"Fweh fweh fweh!" Foxy laughed loudly.

"Pffpffpff..." Hamburg said as he pulled a pair of giant steel clubs out of his pants. Ew. "It's time to mince the HAMBURGER!"

"Eeheehee!" Pickles said as he pulled a pair of swords his size out of his pants. Ow. "And slice the PICKLES!"

"WHO ARE THE GUESTS?" The Foxy Pirates chanted. "Green Lettuce and Yellow Cheese!"

"Wait a minute! What are those huge weapons for?" Nami said looking at the weapons that shouldn`t be in the game at all.

"Bushishi!" And I use this big pan to smash it flat!" Big-Pan said laughing.

"MONSTER BURGER!" the three Groggy monsters said in unison as they began to charge at Sanji.

"There it is! Their most deadly three-weapon attack!" Tubiflex announced. "There's no way to escape! This is clearly a penalty worthy of a red card!"

"But, oh no!" Tubiflex noticed. "Even at an important time like this, the referee is doing the Bridge stretching exercise, facing backwards!"

"What are you doing?" Luffy said getting ready to punch the ref.

"Wait, Luffy!" Usopp said trying to hold Luffy back.

"Who knows what might happen?" Tubiflex announced. "Wait what`s Roronoa doing?" Tubiflex`s announcement drew everyone`s attention to Zoro, who was creating more and more electricity, and then, once he had enough, he gripped the electricity and made three swords out of electricity, and held them as he did his normal swords.

"Rai Busou: Thunder Swords!" Zoro said getting into his sword stance, and the ref used his whistle, pausing the game.

"Foul! No weapons!" the ref said.

"Oh come on!" Usopp complained. "You notice our weapons, but not your own teams?"

"It`s not a weapon," I said calmly causing the ref to look at me. "It`s a technique which lets the user wield electricity in the form of a weapon."

"Wield electricity?" said everyone who heard me say that.

"That`s impossible," The ref said arguing with me.

"Oh really," I said making a sword out of wind and pointing the tip right in front of the ref`s face and grinning like a devil. "Then what do you call this sword made out of wind? I used this technique earlier and made a sword just like this. Would you like to test it to see how much of a sword it is?"

The ref was sweating more that a fat lady in a hot sauna. "N… no, no I wouldn`t," he said turning away from me. "Resume game!" he said nervously as he watched me out of the corner of his eye.

"They are, of course, going after Sanji the ballman!" Tubiflex said resuming his commentary. "Will he be minced, sliced and crushed into a hamburger patty?"

"PFFPFF! Get ready to be minced!" Hamburg said leading the charge against Sanji.

"Third-rate ingredients like you guys won't make for much a meal, but...!" Sanji said as he back flipped right in front of Hamburg`s face.

"Pff... he's fast..." Hamburg said as he began to feel the heat of Sanji`s aura. "And this heat!"

"Troisieme Hache Grillé! (Third-Rate Mincemeat Grilled)" Sanji said as he kicked Hamburg in the face, and leaving two foot-shaped burn marks on his face and leaving him screaming in pain as he dropped his clubs.

"AAAAAH!" Hamburg screamed as he grabbed his face in pain.

"Look out, Leader!" Pickles yelled as Sanji wound up for another attack while doing a handstand.

"Bouquetière Shot (Mixed Vegetables Shot)!" Sanji yelled as he kicked Hamburg up into the air and right into the path of Big-Pan`s pans, which he was banging together like a pair of cymbals.

"Oh no...! Hey Big-Pan! Stop the crushin'!" Pickles yelled trying to get Big-Pan to hear him.

"Huh?" Big-Pan said confused. Obviously he hadn`t heard Pickles, as he flattened Hamburg between his pans, leaving him comically flat and floating back down to the ground.

"Leader! How DARE you!" Pickles said as he resumes his spinning. "I`ll avenge him!"

"Don't forget, this is a team battle," Zoro said holding his lightning swords up. "And when it comes to swords, I won`t lose."

"Damn you!" Pickles continued as he hovered right over Zoro, ready to slash at his back. "I'll slice you up good!"

"Santoryuu: RAIRYUU TATSUMAKI! (Thunder Dragon`s Tornado)" Zoro said as he countered Pickles` spinning attack with a lightning-enhanced version of his Tatsumaki attack and sent Pickles` flying towards Big-Pan`s midsection, still spinning with blades extended and now, electrified.

"BUSHAAAAAA!" Big-Pan yelled in pain as the electricity Zoro used coursed through his body, and the blades from Pickle`s attack cut his midsection to ribbons.

"Aaah! Big-Pan! He just took Pickles' rotating attack full-on! And with that lightning too!" The Foxy Pirates said in shock of Zoro`s counterattack.

"Aaaaargh! What have I done? DAMMIT!" Pickles said cursing his actions and bleeding a bit from Zoro`s attack. He was unfazed by the electricity because it all went to Big-Pan.

As Big-Pan fell over, Sanji quickly slipped behind him and got ready to attack. "Anti-Manner Grillé KICK COURSE!" Sanji yelled as he kicked Big-Pan in the back with his heat-enhanced foot, causing his skin to dry out and the attack to do more damage.

"Bugaga... ga..." Was all Big-Pan could say as he was half-conscious at the moment.

"Oh! My! Before Big-Pan could fall over, he was kicked back into a standing position!" Tubiflex announced, shocked at this upset. "He's looking GROGGY on his feet! Now Roronoa the swordsman makes his move! Of course, he's heading for the ballman, Big-Pan!"

"Grr... Eeheehee! You're not gettin' by!" Pickles said to Zoro as he readied his swords for combat, not noticing Sanji behind him.

"Don't get in our way," Sanji said coldly. "You OR the ref."

"Huh?" Pickles said as Sanji got his attention before he got kicked right into the biased referee.

"A direct hit into the crowd..." Tubiflex noted at the attack Sanji just did, "no, into the referee!"

"Hahh...! That was clearly aggression...! Hahh... Against the referee..." The ref said panting heavily with an unconscious Pickles on top of him. "RED CAR... huh? My cards and whistle... Hahh... are gone..." He said before he passed out.

"It's an old habit of mine," Nami said as she pulled the red and yellow cards and the ref`s whistle out from between her boobs, which I noticed had grown bigger since the last time I got a good look at Nami`s figure.

"Old habits die hard, don`t they Nami?" I said slyly.

"Such a naughty girl..." Robin said calmly.

"And while only Big-Pan still stands, is the Straw Hat team fighting again?" Tubiflex commented as Zoro dispersed his swords and jumped on top of Sanji`s leg, which was in mid-swing.

"ARMEE DE L'AIR ROCKET SHOT! (Air Force Rocket Shot)" Sanji yelled as he kicked Zoro towards Big-Pan`s head, further speeding him with an added boost from some flames on the opposite side of his leg. Big-Pan could only groan as Zoro grabbed onto his upper row of teeth and began his descent, turning Big-Pan`s body over in the process.

"Wha-! Wha-! Big-Pan the Wotan's giant frame..." Tubiflex said as Big-Pan`s feet literally left the ground as he got flipped upside down.

"What the?"" The Foxy Pirates said in shock.

"No!" Porche said despairing over the loss of Chopper.

"…is flying through the air!" Tubiflex said finishing his sentence.

"GOOOO!" everyone cheered save for Robin.

"He's heading for the goal ring!" Tubiflex yelled more excitedly than ever.

"Ooooooooooh!" Zoro yelled as he prepared to dunk Big-Pan`s head into the goal.

"It can't be! Our invincible Groggy Monsters ARE LOSING!" The Foxy Pirates yelled in shock.

"Aaaaaahh!" Foxy screamed as he realized he not only lost the match, he also lost the bet with Kakusei. Big-Pan`s head landed with a "THUD!" as his ball landed perfectly into the goal. The Foxy Pirates were all stunned, and our crew was so happy and excited. Sanji smirked at Zoro in his way of saying "Not bad", and I had a big smirk on my face as I remembered the way it was done originally. It wasn`t nearly this cool.

"GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!" Tubiflex yelled at the top of his lungs.

-X-

Victory

-X-

"Yahooooo! We won!" Luffy yelled happily as he danced with Usopp.

"Yeaaaah! We won, dammit, we won! Yeaaaah!" Usopp said crying his eyes out.

"GAAA! GABAAA!" Chopper cried in happiness.

"Oh, no! We can't give Choppy back now!" Porche said hugging Chopper tightly.

"Yaaaaaaa, Dodo, Dandiii!" Chopper cried out through his tears. We all knew he was thanking Zoro and Sanji.

"Wow!" The Foxy pirate said, complimenting us. "They got moves I've never ever SEEN before! Where the hell did they learn how to do that?"

"Shut up! What kind of idiot compliments his enemies?" Foxy yelled at his crew.

"I'm cryin' here man, I really am. BRAVO, BRAAVOO!" The Foxy Pirates continued. A few even whistled for us.

"Grrrr, I can't believe this!" Foxy said ticked off a bit.

"Ah..." the biased ref said as he regained consciousness.

"Oh Ref, you're awake. Quick, blow the whistle," Nami said thinking quickly. "C'mon, hurry!"

"Oh... right!" The ref said quickly grabbing the whistle. "Their attitude and treatment towards the referee was a flagrant violation of the rules! I'll kick them right out of the game!"

!

"And there's the game-ending whistle!" Tubiflex announced almost happily. "THE GROGGY RING IS OVER!"

"Huh?" the ref said while looking astonished. He had no idea what just happened while he was out.

"Good going!" Nami said in her cutesy tone.

"In the Davy Back Fight Second Round," Tubiflex announced very enthusiastically, "the invincible Team Groggy Monsters were crushed and the game was conquered by THE STRAW HAT TEAM IN AN ASTOUNDING VICTORY!"

"Dammit dammit dammit, you guys had me so worried!" Usopp said yelling at Sanji and Zoro as they came back to join us, leaving the Groggy Monsters out on the field.

"Yeah, yeah, ow, ow," Zoro said holding his arm up to block Usopp`s chops at his head.

"Hahaha, 'course they won! They'd never lose!" Luffy said throwing his head back in laughter.

"They better not after what I put you all through," I said smiling slyly.

"Nami-swaaaaaan Robin-chwaaaan, did you see me?" Sanji asked Nami and Robin while doing his noodle-leg dance. "DO YOU LOVE ME?"

"You were fantastic," Robin said simply commenting Sanji.

"Now, the winners of the second round, the Straw Hat team, have the right to choose one of the Foxy Pirates crewmembers, or their symbol, the pirate flag!" Tubiflex announced. "WHICH ONE does the Straw Hats' captain want?"

"That's obvious," Luffy said bluntly. The Foxy Pirates all had an "Oh Shit, he`s gonna pick me" look on their faces.

"Luffy... hurry..." Chopper said almost suffocating under Porche`s hug.

"Okay, Chop-" Luffy said as Nami stopped him and the Foxy Pirates all face-planted into the ground.

"Wait a minute, Luffy!" Nami began. "The third round is a one-on-one fight between you and the Boss only. Which means if we select him now, they have to forfeit, we won't have to battle them, and we can take back Chopper, right?"

"T... THAT'S A DIRTY STRATEGY!" Tubiflex announced almost angry at Nami. All the Foxy Pirates started jeering at us. "It's hard to believe I'm listening to this woman state her devilish, inhuman plans! Nami the Navigator is the very definition of "twisted"!"

"Hey, what are you doing to Nami-san?" Sanji said yelling at the Foxy Pirates. Then Tubiflex went on and on about how dishonorable this was, all the while the Foxy Pirates were chanting "No!" at her.

"Waaahhh, I hate them," Nami said crying on Robin`s shoulder.

"While it's not against the rules, it seems to violate their pirate ideals," Robin said calmly.

"Of course it does. That's your fault," Zoro said a bit coldly.

"I agree with Nami," Usopp said quickly.

"Geez! What's their problem?" Luffy said as the Foxy Pirates kept calling us names.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, ALL OF YOU! LIKE ANY OF YOU JACKASSES SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT PLAYING FAIR!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, unleashing my Haki, and scaring the shit out of the Foxy Pirates, save for Chopper. "DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT?"

"We're sorry," Foxy said apologizing for the whole crew.

"However! In the end, the only person who holds the key to this game's final score is the winning team's captain, Monkey D. Luffy," Tubiflex announced. "Who will he pick?"

"Miss Navigator, according to your plan, we will be able to end the game immediately, but then the Boss will have to join our crew," Robin said calmly.

"Oops," Nami said realizing her blunder.

"Do any of us really want to be traveling with the Turnip-head?" I asked my crewmates.

"WE DON'T WANT THAT," the rest of the guys all said in unison, shocking Foxy.

"CHOPPER! COME ON BACK!" Luffy yelled as Chopper quickly ran over and hugged Luffy.

"WAAAAAAAH!" Chopper cried loudly.

"Nooo! Choppy!" Porche said sadly as she lost her cute "pet".

"UOEAEAEAGABABABA! DANK YOO... I'B SO HABBY!" Chopper said through his tears.

"Don't cry. Zoro and Sanji would never lose," Luffy said comforting Chopper a bit.

"KAKUSEI, YOO RISKED YOURSELB SO I COULB STAY ON OUR CREWB," Chopper said to me through his tears. "DANK YOO."

"It`s alright," I said as I patted him on the head. "I knew we`d win, and more importantly, get you back."

"Yikes! The Boss has been crushed to the ground with the weight of the moment!" The Foxy Pirates said looking at Foxy, who had gone into his deepest depression mode yet. "They all said they didn't want him, simultaneously!"

"Oh Boss, we still need you!" Porche said trying to cheer him up.

"Boss! Boss! Give 'em a what-for in the third round!" The Foxy Pirates said trying to cheer him up. "Yeah! We can't wait for Round Three! We love you, Boss! Boss!"

"B... boys..." Foxy said slowly and his eyes tearing up. "That's right...! My place... is right here…"

"Enough of the bullshit, let`s get moving already," Sanji said bluntly, sending Foxy back into depression.

"BOSS!" The Foxy Pirates said, again trying to console him.

"Hoi hoi hoi, listen up..." Foxy said back to normal, "…in the "Combat" Third Round, it is "impossible" for anyone to defeat me! You'll never get back the crewmember you lose in the final round. Better get yourself ready so I can take whatever crewmember I want..."

"What? You can't beat me!" Luffy said confidently.

"Fweh fweh..." Foxy said evilly. "...a fight and a game... are two different things."

"And as the Second Round concludes with the unforeseen defeat of the Groggy Monsters," Tubiflex said loudly, "both teams' members are back to their original places! The final Third Round will hold the key to the result of this fierce Davy Back Fight! I hope you're all excited and ready for the star of the game! "COMBAAAAAAAT"!"

-X-

Only one round left. Will Luffy hold his own against the undefeated Foxy?

Let`s get ready to rumble next chapter!

Tsugino jikan made! (Until next time!)
