While they were getting closer and closer to the sea the sun was about to set. Oriana sat on the rail enjoying the ride down. She knew the world was full of surprises, but she never thought about going to the sky.

Everything was fine until Sanji noticed that the octopus was getting smaller and soon it shrunk completely.

Once again, there was a free fall down.

Oriana quickly jumped down with her left hand on the rail and used her right hand to summon a strong wind underneath the ship. It slowed down a bit but was still going down fast and soon as the bottom touched the sea Oriana could finally relax.

The ship was damaged even before going up to the sky but falling at such a high speed could've actually killed them. Now, that they were back in the water she had a much better chance at surviving. She was so happy to be back.

The thought of them sailing with a damaged ship had given her a bit of a scare, but it was understandable. They were falling ten thousand meters and the ship might not even survive.

She could at least do something now if the ship broke down.

"It seems even further away after falling from it" Robin started.

"It's like we were dreaming," Nami said and looked up.

"Well, it was a country of dreams. Think you'll be able to go there again someday?" Chopper wondered.

"We'll be able to go there when we die or close enough," Zoro answered.

"Zoro... You think you're going to make it to heaven?" Usopp asked surprised which made everyone laugh.

Nami started warning everyone that a wave was coming towards them and that they should prepare for it. When everything calmed down Nami decided to test her new waver in the sea and was happy to see it worked on water too.

When she got back Sanji invited everyone inside to eat. Nami got the bag of gold wanting to divide it, but she would get eighty percent. The guys complained, "Just kidding!" she changed the topic to what they would use their shared money for.

"I'm sorry, Oria, but we have to get the ship fixed first before we can divide it," Nami explained. "Don't worry about it! You guys can keep my share," she lifted her arms to show them the gold she got from the shandians.

She saw how Eneru took all the gold from the city with his powers. Maybe she could do the same.

"Let's get a shipwright!" Luffy said. Oriana wasn't sure how they got to that part, but she agreed.

Oriana went over to the deck and sat on the rail with her thoughts. Now that she was back at sea, she had to look for Teach. He had some business with Luffy but looked scared to see her. She might use that to her advantage, he might not dare to come here if she stayed but she knew that wasn't an option.

The most frustrating thing was that he was right in front of her, and she couldn't do anything. Oriana felt a burning desire inside her body and stretch her arm towards the ocean ready to let it out. She expected fire not a bolt of lightning.

Nobody saw her do it, but they definitely heard the very loud sound. Oriana looked at her hands with a grin on her face while the people around her were trying to figure out where the lightning came from.

It wasn't long before they saw a ship being chased by a wave of monkeys. For some reason they started arguing, "Someone take the helm!" a man yelled.

"Where's the helm?"

"Like hell if I know!"

"Someone give orders. Navigator?"

"He's gone!"

"Captain?"

"Not here!"

The crew was in total chaos.

The small crew had a hard time believing they survived the Grand Line without a captain or even a navigator. It sounded like they had them at some point but lost them. Their ship flipped over by the wave which probably meant their end.

Soon they came to the next island with the silly trio already exploring the land while the rest of them took their time.

A huge ship appeared out of nowhere and chained their ship in. Sanji and Zoro were ready for a fight, "Don't be hasty! We are the Foxy pirates, and we want a duel!" someone onboard the ship said.

They explained that their captain was challenging Luffy to a Davy Back fight. Some of the members told them what would happen if they either won or lost, "This is stupid! Who would want to be on a crew they were forced to join?" Oriana voiced.

"When the captain decides every member has to participate!" Nami wanted to stop Luffy from accepting the contest, "Don't bother we all know that he will accept!" Oriana sighed and a moment later two gunshot was heard.

The Foxy pirates quickly started setting things up along with food stands.

Luffy and the other captain were on the stage, and they were making an agreement over something before three coins were thrown into the water. The foxy pirate explained the rules and a person could only participate in one game. Once they had chosen the players, they couldn't change that.

Oriana watched the crew argue about who would do what until Robin just made a list.

Round one, Donut race: Robin, Nami, Usopp, and Oriana

Round two, Groggy ring: Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper.

Round three, Combat: Luffy

For the first round, the small pirate crew were up against a blue-haired girl and a Fishman. There was given time for the two opponents to build their boats before the race around the island began. The other team didn't have something to row instead had a shark pulling them.

They were given an eternal pose as a guide.

When the race started a boulder was thrown at them, but Oriana kicked it in half. There were loud noises from the coast after Sanji kicked the ones responsible, but the other team was far ahead of them.

"I got this, guys!" Oriana said and took control of the boat and turned it in the right direction, "Hold on to something!" she moved her wrists in circles before moving her arms back and her body forward making their ship fly through the waters.

The other team tried to attack them once they caught up to them but Robin and Usopp had that covered. Foxy was riding a monkey along the coastline with a smug smile on his face, "What is he up to?" Oriana wondered.

They came to a coral reef with currents at its roots, "Oria, you can stop now," Nami said. Oriana complied but their opponent quickly passed the and was forced back again, "I knew these currents were weird. Everyone, row!" Nami said.

An arrow was fired in front of them as smoke came out.

That didn't stop them, and the currents were moving the boat ahead. Nami told Usopp to use the impact dial to get them over the long cape which would end up with the long-nose pirate in a lot of pain.

They came closer to a sign, "Go, right?" Robin asked, "Okay, go light!" the orange-haired woman smiled but when they got closer, she punched the sign, "Or not!"

"Wow, she saw right through the boss' special bogus sign blitz. She's tough. Doesn't this young woman have any trust in her heart?" the announcer asked, "Shut up you!" Nami snapped at him, "She talks roughly too!"

Oriana chuckled at the situation and just rested for now. Meanwhile Foxy pretended to be an old lady with his monkey crewmate crying over 'him', "Oh, I'm dying. You there… in the boat… will you help me?"

"Boss is using another evil trick!"

Their team just continued sailing away, "They completely ignored him! Navigator Nami is absolutely heartless!" the announcer said, "Shut up! Who would fall for that dumb trick?" she snapped again, "She's rough too!"

"Look, the goal!" Usopp yelled but it was punched away by Nami, "Are you stupid? I told you that won't work! It's getting really old!" she yelled annoyed, "They even though the bogus goal blitz. She's tough, too tough. I'd like to ask her; do you know what it means to have trust in your heart?"

"I don't care!" Nami would have none of that. "She's a brute! In the meantime tragedy strikes. Porsche's team has stopped at the fake goal. Aw, her heart is so pure and sweet. You're mistaken, Porsche, it's up ahead!"

"That a new level of stupid!" Oriana laughed, "What a bunch of idiots! If we lose to them, I'll die of embarrassment!" Nami said angrily. It took some time, but the other team caught up to them. Usopp shot the baboons down to stop the others and hit the Fishman on the head.

The woman shit rose knives at their boat and damaged it. Oriana stopped the water from coming inside before taking control again, "Let's do it, Oria!" Nami and Usopp cheered. Foxy came riding next to them again, "Noro-Noro beam!"

Oriana moved the boat away from the beam, but they were still within range and got hit. It felt like time stopped. They could only watch as the other team crossed the finish line.

The Foxy pirate started laughing over their victory, "Now, hand over one of your crewmates!" the enemy captain smirked. The small crew was still confused over what just happened, "It's a devil fruit power!" Oriana elaborated.

"You have a good eye, girl! I ate the Noro-Noro no mi. So, I can emit photons from my body. I became a slowpoke human!" he said proudly. He demonstrated his powers by having the monkey shoot him with a cannonball, but Foxy slowed it down with his beam.

"There must be a limit to it!" Oriana whispered but thirty seconds later Foxy was hit by the cannonball, "We won the race. So, the one I want is you, Oriana!" he pointed his finger at her with a serious face.

"Sorry, split-head, but you can't have me!" she smirked, "Huh…?" everyone was confused including the small crew. "You can't have me because I'm not part of their crew. If you really want me, you'll have to fight Whitebeard!" she showed them her crew's mark.

The other pirate crew took steps away from her, "WHITEBEARD?!"

Luffy approached her laughing and his crew soon followed, "That was awesome, Oria!" he put his arm around her shoulders. "I-If y-you're a p-part of W-Whitebeard's crew, why are you with Straw-hat?" he managed to say.

"Oh, nothing special just hanging out with my brother," she gently clapped Luffy's cheek. They didn't notice the brother part and instead changed the topic, "You can't take part in any more rounds since you aren't a part of their crew!" he said nervously.

"Alright, I already played my part," she shrugged not caring about rather or not she played.

The other captain was surprised she listened, "Then the one I want is you; the ship's doctor Tony Tony Chopper!" the small crew could only watch as they took the small reindeer away. He started crying, "Help! I don't like this! I became a pirate because of you guys! I became a pirate because you asked me to, Luffy! I can't be with these guys!"

Oriana raised an eyebrow. The small reindeer was cute and all, but he could not behave like that, especially in front of the enemy crew. No one was going to sympathize with those tears, "Stop blubbering, Chopper. It's humiliating!" Zoro slammed his drink to the ground to get everyone's attention.

"The choice of becoming a pirate was your own. Where you end up is your own fault. We accepted this challenge. Usopp and the others did their best. Pirates have no pity for crybabies. If you're a man, then act like one and see this through to the end!" Zoro scolded.

Nami was about to yell at him, but Chopper removed his tears, "That's better. Let's start the next round," he said, and the pirates were impressed by his word. Some even suggested that Zoro would be their next crewmate when they won.

Chopper was on the other side which meant Zoro and Sanji had to win this round on their own "There's two more rounds left. We could get our emergency food supply back and still have some to spare," Sanji said. Oriana chuckled at his comment but had no doubt that they could do it.

The two had a 'special' relationship and they showed that by arguing with each other, "Who's the ball?" someone asked, and Zoro pointed at Sanji, "Him!" the blond voiced his problem with that, "Why do you get to decide that? You should be the ball, Marimo!"

Their opponents entered the field, and they were three big guys that towered over them, "Bring it on!" Zoro smirked before looking at Sanji, "Get into your position ball man," the blond was still refusing, "I can't wear something so uncool!"

Zoro glared at him, "Stop whining!" but then look at him again with a more natural face, "Oh, it looks good on you!" Sanji got angry, "I won't fall for that!" for the swordsman it was worth a shot. meanwhile, they kept arguing about who would be the ball-man.

"Sanji-kun, that ball looks good on you!" Nami suddenly called, the blond cook's entire mindset changed, "I'm the ball man! No one is more worthy than me!" Oriana watched amused in the distance, 'Women really were his weakness.'

She may find it amusing now but what would he do if a day came to fight a woman?

"You really do look like a prince…. From moron-kingdom!" Zoro said which resulted in the two fighting. When the time for the game came the two walked to the field, "No weapons allowed!" the reformer said. Zoro had no problem with it.

Until "Oi, are you going to be alright?" Sanji asked concerned, "What?" Zoro didn't understand, "A swordsman without swords is kind of pathetic!" the blond said, which again resulted in the two fighting.

The game started with their opponents jumping into action. One of them charged at Sanji but the cook was faster and jump over him ready to attack the one with the ball. The ball man swung his arm back about to hit the cook, but he dodge that too.

Sanji tried to run up the Fishman giant's arm, but he was unable to, "What the… His skin is all slippery!" he slammed his palm against the blond and sent him flying towards the goal. Zoro desperately tried to beat them, but one from the other team hit him away before knocking the cook into the sky.

The monkey was already in the air and used him like a volleyball and grabbed the blond to end the game. The small crew would lose if the two didn't get control of the game soon.

Oriana just watched the game with disapproval. She knew Zoro and Sanji had an amusing rivalry, but she had thought that when things got serious they would put whatever they had aside and work together for the sake of their crew.

Sanji and Zoro were getting beat up, "They really need to work together or else they'll lose," Oriana stated without a doubt. A few moments later their opponents pulled out their weapons as the reference turned around to his crewmates rule-breaking.

Luffy wanted to punch him, but Nami and Usopp held him back.

Meanwhile, Zoro and Sanji were being smacked like flies to the ground, "Oi, cook, lend me a hand for ten seconds," the swordsman said, "That sounds like a reasonable amount of time!" the blond responded.

"Oh, I guess it's finally time," she muttered to herself.

Sanji got up and flipped himself to kick the monkey in the face. He landed on the ground in front of him and did a handstand to kick him in the jaw. He went flying toward his giant friend who smacked him with this pan-like weapon.

The last one was about to attack Sanji, but Zoro interfered by grabbing his legs and throwing him up into the air spinning towards the giant who cut him in the process. The fish-man giant fell backward but Sanji kicked him upright again.

Zoro was about to attack the giant but the second tallest stood in front of him, but Sanji kicked him to the side and straight into the reference. The swordsman ran over to the blond's extended leg and jumped onto it.

Sanji kicked his teammate towards the giant, who was wearing the ball, grabbed his teeth, and slammed him into the goal which made them the winners of the game. Everyone was cheering and Chopper was crying out of joy.

The reference blew the whistle to end the game.

Now, the straw hats had to choose their new crewmember, "Okay, Cho-!" Luffy started but Nami stopped him, "Round three is one-on-one combat, right? The only participants are you and the boss. If you take their boss, they'll have to forfeit. There wouldn't be any more fighting and you can get Chopper back," she suggested.

The other crew hated the idea and bullied the navigator mercilessly, "I hate those guys!" she cried in the arms of Robin, "It may not be against the rules but apparently it conflicts with pirate ethnic again," Usopp stood behind the captain, "I'm on Nami's side!"

"Argh I'm getting angry!" Luffy said, but Zoro said something stupid, "Of course, you deserve this!" Nami went over to the swordsman and smacked him, "Shut up already. Stop getting carried away!" she said.

Oriana watched in the background amused.

"Oi, navigator-san, if we go along with your plan, we could end it right now but that would mean their boss would join our crew," Robin said, "We don't want him!" Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro wave their hands in front of their faces.

Instead, they knew who they wanted, "Chopper!" Luffy yelled which made the reindeer run towards the captain and hugged him, "Don't cry! There's no way Zoro and Sanji would have lost!" he said to comfort his small friend.

Oriana turned to the other crew, but Foxy was on the ground depressed because they didn't want him. The pirates tried to cheer up their captain, "Enough with this ridiculous farce – on to the next game!" Sanji said.

It took a while for Foxy to get control of himself then he faced Luffy, "Feh, feh, feh are you ready for round three, combat? I should inform you that winning against me is impossible! Any crewmates requite during the final match can't be won back!" Foxy said.

"What? I won't lose to you!" the young captain said but the other captain giggled, "There's a difference between playing a game and combat!" they went over to a big canon that would determine the field for their game.

The announcer explained that their battlefield was fifty in radius from the Foxy ship. Any weapon within the circle was allowed to use and no one other than the two combatants was allowed onto the ship.

In order to win one had to throw his opponent outside the ring.

The Foxy pirates were just setting up a huge bench for the audience to watch. The sky turned black from smoke and their two bounties were displayed. The two captains came out looking like boxing champions, "That afro looks good on you, bro!" she clapped.

The battle started with Luffy punching Foxy, but he jumped away and used his beam to slow down his fist. The rubber man tried to pull his arm back but instead, his body was pulled forward. Foxy pointed his gloved hand at him.

Luffy jumped out of the way to avoid it but that was the moment Foxy decided to use it. Once her sunshine was slowed down in midair, split-head jump onto him and punched him many times. At first, nothing happened but after thirty seconds Luffy felt the attacks at the same time.

The young captain almost fell off the ship but stretched his arm to save himself then ran after Foxy. They couldn't see what was going on inside other than a big explosion that took them back. Suddenly, Luffy was on the mast all fine before jumping down and inside the ship.

Oriana decided to draw the events while waiting for the winner to be announced. She wasn't sure how long time had passed but she looked up to see Luffy on the floor bleeding. It wasn't long till he was back on his feet, "I won't lose a single member of my crew even if it kills me!"

The fight caused a real boxing match and Foxy tried to use his powers, yet he was the one frozen because Luffy had found a piece of a mirror on the deck and used that to reflect his attack. Straw Hat finished the fight with one strong punch before starting to walk away.

The audience started to count down until they reached, "ZERO!" Foxy went flying while Luffy raised his arm in a cool pose. Oriana was definitely going to include that in her drawing. "The winner of the game is Straw-hat Luffy!"

Foxy landed in the ocean then every one of his crew jumped off the platform to save their boss. Their crew contained many members and they broke the entire thing.

Luffy passed out but Chopper treated his wounds.

He woke up confused then Zoro told him that he won the fight, "Good!" he leaned back smiling.

Foxy approached him after getting his wounds treated as well, "Straw-hat, you dare to besmirch my legendary record? Well done, brother!" he extended his hand to him. Once Luffy grabbed it he turned around, "Yeah, right! Super vengeance shoulder throw!"

He must have forgotten that Luffy could stretch because he bumped his head to the ground. In order to cover up his failure he told the young captain to choose their new crewmember, "Give me your jolly Roger!" he said.

Oriana gasped; she knew what a pirate mark meant for pirates. It must be a huge loss to get their flag taken away like that. Instead, Luffy decided to draw him a new mark which was awful, and they were bowing in sadness, "They're so grateful!" he smile.

The Foxy pirates set sail, "Straw-hat, we'll remember this!" they were finally gone.

The rest of the pirates went over to an old man and handed him the pirate mark while Chopper treated his horse. The old man invited them into his house, but the door suddenly opened hitting him in the face in the meantime.

A tall man with black hair came out, "Who are you guys?" he asked while wearing a sleeping mask, "Who are you?" Luffy asked but Robin fell to the ground scared, "Oh, you've turned into a pretty woman, Nico Robin" he said as he removed his mask.

The crew became alerted, and Oriana swore that he looked familiar, "Oh my, now, don't look so murderous my friends. I'm not here on orders. The weather is nice, so I took a stroll," he calmly explained to them.

"Orders? What organization do you work for?" Zoro asked, "He's an admiral from Navy headquarters!" Robin informed.
