Luffy and Natsu were ready to beat the crap out of Foxy but then Usopp hold them up all nervous while the rest of the team was patching sherry. The sniper was more nervous than normal and that's was saying something.
''What the matter Usopp?" Asked Luffy
''Yeah we wanna beat the crap of this guy!' Shouted Natsu
''don't accept his challenge.'' Said Usopp all nervous while Foxy only laughs
''Feh Feh. I was asking Straw Hat Luffy for the challenge. And he was about to said yes. Am I right Porche?'' Asked Foxy to his girl.
''Yes boss. I hear everything clear.'' Said Porche only cheering her boss
''Unless...aren't you any good for your word?'' Said Foxy clearing insulting Luffy
''I am!"' Scream Luffy
''He is!'' Scream Natsu cheering his buffy
''No, you are not. And neither are you Natsu!" Scream Usopp trying to stop the two idiots.
''You are going to pay for what do you need for the old man horse!' Scream Natsu all fired up.
Back to the medical group
Chopper, Wendy, and Charla were doing the best to treat old man Tonjit and Sheery. The horse was in incredible pain and the old man was more than just mildly pissed.
''don't worry Sherry-chan we will treat you.' Said Wendy
''Old man…please. Don't do this.'' Said Happy trying to make sure Tonjit stay down
''Get out of my way. Sherry waited me for years and look what you did to her you bastard.'' Said Tonjit holding his gun
''Hang in there Sherry.'' Said Charla trying to comfort the horse.
''I will kill them right here and right now.'' Said Tonjit all angry.
''No old man. They are pirates, you don't stand a chance.'' Said Luffy
''Leave them to us.'' Said Natsu
Back to the rest of the crew
The rest of the Straw Hats were seeing the huge ship of the Foxy crew. Normally they would charge forward and beat the crap of everyone, but they were intrigued by this so called Davy Back Fight.
''Davy Back fight?" Asked Nami
''What kind fight is that?" Asked Lucy
''Is a battle that begins the moment that two captains agree to do it. Right now, our captain is talking to yours to make a proposal, soon the fight will begin.'' Said a random member of the Foxy
''A proposal?" Asked Gray
''Why that hell do we need a proposal to fight?' Asked Gajeel all pissed
''Yeah if is a challenge to fight than we accept.'' Said Zoro
''Zoro is right. If you want a fair fight than come down and face us.'' Said Erza
''Yeah a real man charges right front of his enemies.'' Said Elfman.
Sanji however decide to explain the situation to his crewmates, because he knew what the Davy Back meant.
''don't do it you big muscled idiot. Most of you don't know, but this is not a regular fight. The Davy Back fight is a pirate game.'' Said Sanji
''A pirate game?' Asked Lisanna
''He is right. The Davy Back fight started a long time ago on Pirate Island. A pirate paradise somewhere in the world. In order to get the best sailors around pirates stole pirates from each other.'' Said Robin explaining the concept of the Davy Back fight.
Everyone got an understand of what this Davy Back fight was all about. The concept of Pirate stealing from Pirates was something kind unheard before. And now they were about to face in this challenge
''Pirates stealing from pirates?" Asked Nami.
''Exactly.'' Said Robin
''So is a game about trickery and robbery. Very fitting for outlaws.'' Said Panther Lily
''How can you be a pirate and not know about the Davy Back fight!" Scream a random member of the Foxy Pirates
''Hey, cut some slacks man. Most of us are new to this whole pirate game.'' Said Gray
''Well if you wanna know the Davy Back fight is a contest for crew members! We challenge you to a three-coin game!" Said the random Foxy pirates
The Foxy then explained the rules of the Davy Back Fight. The winner of each game gets to choose a crew member from the opponent ship. And they had to join by force and be loyal to the crew and their new captain but also swear upon Davy Jones, pirate of the deep sea.
''Losing comrade.'' Said Mira
The crew (mostly the Fairy Tail group) was shocked to hear about that. Loose their friend to a enemy was something that they didn't want to happen.
''Like hell we are gonna let this happen.'' Said Cana picking out her card
''She is right. If you guys wanna battle we can give you a battle.'' Said Evergreen
''We can kick your guys butt all day long.'' Said Gildarts showing off what little magic was in him.
''You may have more in numbers, but we can still deliver some damage.'' Said Gray
''Now wait. As much I want to beat these idiots, they are right. If we were challenge to this game, we must play. Is our honor as pirates that are in the line.'' Said Sanji
''Sanji-san is right. Most of us are pirates now.'' Said Juvia.
''Agreed Juvia. In this case we must participate on their games. We can't let the Straw Hat pirates be ashamed.'' Said Erza all serious.
''Since when she became so devoted to Luffy?" Through the Straw Hats.
''Wait a minute. Do you think that pirate crew that we saw early also participate on this game?" Asked Lucy.
''Oh, you meet the fang frog pirates?'' Asked a random member of the Foxy Crew.
The crew now got nervous upon learning that many members of the Foxy crew were members of that pathetic pirate crew that got destroyed by the sea monkey. And they lost their crewmates because of the Davy Back fight, which mean they could also lose some of them
''We have to stop this!" Scream Nami
''Yeah" Scream Lucy also nervous
''No, this isn't something that they the crew decided. Only the captain can aprove your participation on the game.'' Said the Foxy Pirate
''Captain?" Asked most of the crew thinking of Luffy
''Where is Luffy?" Asked Lucy
''He is with Natsu, Usopp and the others.'' Said Sanji
Everyone got either nervous or excited. Fairy Tail only knew Luffy for only a day but they saw how equal he was of Natsu. And with him also by his side, they are pretty sure that they will be participating of this game pretty soon.
''Oh no.'' Said Lucy and Nami
''Your captain has to decide if he accept the challenge or not.'' Said the Foxy pirate.
''He right girls. In the world of pirates this is an unwritten rule. Fleeing the challenge is the greatest shame for a pirate.'' Said Sanji smoking.
''A little shame isn't too bad!' Scream Nami
''Yeah.'' Said Lucy also nervous
''I would rather die than live in disgrace.'' Said Zoro
''Me too.'' Said Erza.
''Well we been waiting for a change to fight since we got here.'' Said Gray
''Exactly a now is our chance '' Said Gajeel with a smirk
''Im ready to fight for anyone that's stand in my way.'' Said Gildarts with a smile
''Juvia will fight more for Gray-sama.'' Said Juvia all determined.
''I can wait to start attacking.'' Said Mira with a sweet voice.
''They really think they can beat us. Please, I would love to see them trying.'' Said Laxus
''We will all fight together like old times. I will by your side like before.'' Said Freed.
''Me too.'' Said Evergreen
''Same here.'' Said Bickslow
''A man would never back down from a fight.'' Said Elfman
''Exactly big bro.'' Said Lisanna
''Give up Nami, Lucy the crew has already decided to participate.'' Said Robin with a smile
''No. There is still time.'' Said Lucy
''Yeah if we can stop Luffy and Natsu maybe we have a chance.'' Said Nami with hope
''don't pray so loud.'' Said Cana with a smirk
''We need to run. Maybe we still have time before…'' Said Nami running alongside Lucy but before they could even leave the sight of the crew.
BANG BANG
The sound of two pistol was heard in the field. Meaning that Luffy and Foxy accepted the dual.
''No.'' Said Lucy and Nami
''He accepted the challenge.'' Said Sanji with a smile
''Just as I hoped.'' Said Zoro all happy
''This could be fun.'' Said Robin
''Is still to give them a beat down Fairy Tail style.'' Said Gray
''Yeah. I cant wait to win more challenges than the Salamander.'' Said Gajeel
''I hope you know what we are doing.'' Said Lily
''We need to strategize the perfect plan to win this game.'' Said Levy
''Juvia will win. She must win.'' Said Juvia.
''Im ready to go. Bring down the challenge, I am a real man.'' Said Elfman
''Calm down Elf.'' Said Evergreen
''We have big sis and Erza, plus all our new friends. We will win for sure.'' Said Lisanna
''I am willing to protect all of my friends.'' Said Erza.
''Oh, might this kind fights remind me of my childhood facing the entire guild at once.'' Said Mira.
''True. But I hope we can have enough power to deal with this people.'' Said Freed
''Relax man. With Laxus and captain Luffy, victory is right in front of us.'' Said Bickslow.
''Bring it own foxy pirates.'' Said Cana
''We will wipe the floor with your stupid faces.'' Said Gildarts
''I never been to challenge like this. But I am willing to put everything I have to make sure nobody is taken from us. I may not be the master anymore, but I still care for all of you.'' Said Makarov all determined.
''don't worry gramps. Luffy will know what to do.'' Said Laxus
And so, the Davy Back Fight between the Foxy Pirates and the Straw Hat pirates was officially started. As for such the Foxy Pirates started to organize the space for the fight while the Straw hats all wait for the rest of the crew to return
Back to Luffy and Natsu
Luffy had a pistol on his hand. He had just fired into the air, Natsu was at his side with a grim on his face. While Usopp had a horror look
''What did you do?' Asked Usopp
''We accept the challenge. They are going to pay.'' Said Luffy
''Yeah. We are going to destroy them at their stupid game.'' Said Natsu
''Idiots! We don't know what kind horror challenges he is gonna make us do it.'' Said Usopp all nervous. That talk reached the medical team
''We are going to face them in some kind games?" Asked Happy
''I think so.'' Said Chopper
''Im nervous. I never did something like this before.'' Said Wendy
''Stop thinking of that. We need to treat him and Sherry. They could die.'' Said Charla.
''Actually, we are better now.'' Said Tonjit standing up and Sherry looking fine.
''What!'' Scream Wendy, Happy and Chopper while Charla stares annoyed at the old man and his horse.
Luffy and Natsu stare at Foxy with glares. The split head pirate only laughs at his opponents.
''So, you all accepted my challenge. Good luck you are going to need it.' Said Foxy
''Yeah, good. Because we are going to kick your buts.'' Scream Luffy
''You wish that you never had come across us Pinhead.'' Scream Natsu
Foxy upon hearing that nickname got all depress and fall down
''They call me pinhead.'' Said him all sad.
''Boss!'' Scream Porsche
''Poh Poh'' laugh Hamburg
''Stop laughing Hamburg.'' Said Porche
''Luffy, Natsu do you really think is the most important thing. What about the old man and the horse?'' Asked Usopp
''Well I hope you all win the game.'' Said both Tonjit and Sherry giving them thumbs up
''YOU TWO GOT BETTER ALREADY!' Scream Usopp
''Lets fights.'' Said Luffy
''Yeah time to break this guy nose.'' Said Natsu
''Then let the games begin.'' Said Foxy with a murderous smile
A few hours later.
A carnival was put on to celebrate the Davy Back Fight between the two pirates crew. There were stand of food, drinks, and games. True be told it looked pretty fun. The straw Hat crew was either impressed by that or otherly confused
''Wow.'' Said Luffy
''Talk about excessive.'' Said Gajeel
'This feel more like a block carnival.'' Said Freed.
''Yeah is like the Fairy Tail parade that we have. There are ton of these places all around the kingdom.'' Said Happy
''This look fun.'' Said Wendy
''Yeah I can smell the good food around.'' Said Natsu drooling
''Two yakisoba please'' Said Tonjit carrying Sherrry on a cart.
''Oh, come on old man.'' Said Usopp pissed.
Most of the new members of the Straw Hat crew were taking this pretty well. In fact, they might have fun today, they can beat these idiots and then eat some delicious stuff.''Mira was even giving some of her friend's bowls of Yakisoba
''This is so weird.'' Said Levy eating
''Yeah. But hey we are weird too so this works.'' Said Bickslow munching
''In the meantime, we can at least eat some good stuff before the event.'' Said Erza eating some cake.
''Makarov how are you feeling about this? The whole might lose members thing?" Asked Gildarts
''Well if I was the master I would be in horror. But with Luffy determination Im sure that we wouldn't lose anybody. Now I can relax and think of more important stuff.'' Said Makarov.
'Like what?" Asked Gildarts.
''Do I pick chicken or beef?'' Asked Makarov looking at a chop suey stand.
''REALLY!' Scream Gildarts.
Bom Bom
''what is that?" Asked Gray hearing the fireworks.
''Is an announcement. Both captains must be present at the stage event.'' Said a random Foxy pirate.
''Then luffy must be present.'' Said Zoro
''oK here I go.'' Said Luffy going to the main stage while still eating his plate of Yakisoba.
Porche of the Foxy Pirates was given the rules of the game. Since both teams have bigger crews than it was decided than in each game, the winner crew could choose two new crew members. Also, the flag of their pirate ship would be in the possession the rival crew, and after the event the loser team must admit that they are no better than their rivals. That got so many excited while others were in despair.
'How can you guys be so calm at this moment?" Asked Nami in horror
''Someone might end up leaving us. And you are all so chill.'' Said Lucy all sad
''don't worry my ladies. While Im here I will make sure that no one is taken from us.'' Said Sanji bringing cotton candy.
Luffy and Foxy upon hearing all the rules were told to swear upon Davy Jones to start the game.
''I swear.'' Said the two captains officially starting the game
After Foxy pick three golden coins from his pocket and start to play with them.
''Here comes the coins.'' Said him
Foxy then toss the coins into the sea. To start the event.
''According to the tradition rules, we dedicate this three coin game to Davy Jones!" Scream Foxy
''Davy Jones?'' Asked Chopper
''Who is that?'' Asked Wendy
''A pirate from a long time ago who was cured by a demon and is said to live deep down on the sea floor.'' Said Robin giving cotton candy to the two.
''He lives on the sea?" Asked Chopper
''Was he a merman?" Asked Wendy
''No. The legend says that any sunken ships or treasure get locked away in Davy Jones locker.'' Said Robin with a laugh upon seeing the two
Chopper and Wendy got a chill upon hearing that story, then they decided to eat their cotton candy.
''The seafloor is scary.'' Said Chopper
''Yeah.'' Said Wendy
''This is so sweet. What is this?" Asked Chopper loving this sweet.
''is cotton candy.'' Said Wendy with a smile
''I love them.'' Said Chopper
''Good to know chopper.'' Said Robin with a smile in her face.
What the crew didn't know was that Foxy was looking at the crew and searching for his new members. Since this was a game where he could take two people in just one game, he could start looking for his choice. He found his first targets.
''I want him and her...definitely her. These twos are going to be mine.'' Said him looking at the Straw Hats.
Later after a nice lunch. The Foxy pirates looked at the Straw Hat crew with serious look
''Hey, you all need to decide who goes in each round.'' Said a random Foxy Pirate
''What do you mean?" Asked Erza
''Since your crew has more than 20 people you need to decide who goes in each round of the game.'' Said the foxy pirate.
''How many people can go?" Asked Levy
''Six for the first two rounds and only one in the last one.'' Said the Foxy pirate
''Really?'' Asked most of the battle lunatics of the crew
''Come guys we need to start picking our members for each event.'' Said Luffy all happy
''You really has done this time. Hein Luffy.'' Said Nami and Usopp with a death glare to the captain.
''Hey, don't look at me. Natsu also agreed in my decision.' Said Luffy afraid of the two
Both look at the fire dragon mage who was busy eating a steak without a care in the world
''What?'' Asked Natsu confused.
''Hey, I know if we win, we can get a shipwright.'' Said Luffy
''I don't wanna one of their pirates!' Scream Usopp disgusted.
''Me too.'' Said Lucy and Nami
''Zoro what are the categories?" Asked Erza.
''Let me see. Race, ball game and battle.'' Said Zoro looking at the list
Upon hearing that there is going to be a battle part of the game, many members of the crew said.
''I will be the one in the fight.'' Said Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Erza, Elfman, Laxus and Gildarts
Then a brawl started between each other. The winner will be the one going to the event.
'''they are all fight each other!' Scream most of the Foxy pirates.
''STOP!" Scream Nami and Lucy punching most of the boys to stop the fight
''This isn't going to help win the game.'' Said Usopp
''But who is going to be the one to be in the fighting category?" Asked Gray
''Yeah. I wanna be the one to have a great fight.'' Said Natsu
''I have an idea.'' Said Mirajane
''What is it Mira?'' Asked Robin
The white-haired mage then went to a table of food and pick some objects to help her make the way to decided who is going to fight.
''Picking straws.'' Said her holding a bunch of straws.
''Not a bad idea.'' Said Lucy
''Alright. Everybody get ready.'' Said Usopp to the man.
''1,2, 3..GO.'' Said Mira.
All the participants push their straws. But only one was the winner and it turn out to be Luffy.
''Yeah I win.'' Scream him all happy to pick the winning straw
''So Luffy is going to be our participant for the fighting game.'' Said Nami.
''Oh, come on. Best of three.'' Said Natsu
''Stop wasting time. Let's pick our teams.'' Said Zoro all irritated.
Round 1: Donut Race
Members: Nami, Usopp, Robin, Lucy, Juvia and Lisanna
''But guys I got the can't race disease.'' Said Usopp faking being sick.
''I don't want to do it either. Now suck it up.'' Said Nami all angry
''How did I end up here?'' Asked Lucy all sad.
''Ill win for Gray-sama.'' Said Juvia
''I guess this is a good enoguht motivation.'' Said Lisanna with a smile
''This is gonna be fun.'' Said Robin
Round 2: Groggy Ring
Members: Zoro, Sanji, Gajeel, Erza, Natsu and Gray
''don't get in my way.'' Said Zoro
''Same to you.'' Said Sanji
''Watch where you are going pepper head.'' Said Gray all pissed.
''What did you say stripper?" Asked Natsu glaring to Gray
''Im surrounded by morons.'' Said Gajeel
''Ill promise to give my best.'' Said Erza
Round 3: Combat
Member: Monkey D. luffy
''Oh yeah!" Said Luffy all excited
Upon finally deciding who is gonna be in which part of the game. The Straw Hat crew had given their permission to officially start the game.
''Alright. The first round is the Donut Race. It's an obstacle boat race consisting of one lap around the island following the shoreline. You must make sure your boat is using the wood from two oards and the three empty casks! The use of any other pars will result in immediate disqualification Show your carpentry skills!'' Scream Itomimizu the announcer of the Foxy pirates.
The straw Hat pirates that were part of the first round made a very weak boat. Usopp and Lisanna did most of the work. In the end many members of the team were very nervous upon entering on the boat.
''Is this safe?" Asked Nami nervous
''Im not a carpenter.'' Said Usopp
''This gonna sink.'' Said Robin
''Why did I join this. I can't make ships, sail or do any pirate work.'' Said Lucy
''Come on Lucy. You can use one of your spirits. Call Aquarius she is gonna like this.'' Said Lisanna
''We are in the water. Juvia surely can guarantee her friends the win.'' Said Juvia
''And now representing the Foxy pirates our idol Porche.'' Scream Itomimizu
''Leave to me boys.'' Said Porche making the Foxy pirates fell in love with her
Straw Hats were all wathchign their friends getting ready to start the race. They were super excited to see what happens.
''Go guys!' Scream Luffy
'''Come On beat this jerk.'' Said Natsu
''Win this race.'' Said Zoro
''Go guys.'' Said Wendy
''Usopp if anything happen to the girls, Im kicking you until death.'' Said Sanji
''Dont lose.'' Said Gajeel
''Im getting excited.'' Said Chopper
''Me too.'' Said Mira hugging Chopper
''Go Lucy!'' Scream Happy
The rules of the game was that each team must complete one lap around Long Ring Long Land and that's all. The problem was that outside forces could use cannons, explosives, cutlasses, and others lethal weapon. It was unfair but hey pirate rules.
While the straw hats was cheering their group, the actual team was having some last-minute conversation.
''So Nami, what's our model for the race?" Asked Lucy
''We need to win!' Scream Nami
''Just this?" Asked Lucy
''Exactly. Win this race is the most important thing.'' Said Nami
''Juvia will make sure to use the water as an advantage.'' Said Juvia.
''I can turn into a mermaid or a seal and push the boat. That can help.'' Said Lisanna.
''that's good to hear. Maybe we use this as an advantage.'' Said Usopp
''Alright let's do it.'' Said Robin
''Ready…set…Donut!'' Scream the announce
The race was on to see who could make the first lap around the island. The Straw Hats were all determined not knowing of Foxy plans along the way.
