Both straw hats and Foxy were ready to set sail and do the race across Long ring island. It seen normal for the group; however everything look very bad for the Straw Hat side when the Foxy pirates started their usual crap.
''Look out!'' Scream Usopp seeing a huge amount of thing flying towards the group. And there was a lot of things.
Cannon balls, swords, pistol and other weapons were being thrown at the Straw Hat side.
''AAAAAH!"' Scream Usopp, Nami, Lisanna, Lucy and Juvia. Only Robin wasn't scared. They were even upside down at one turn
''what is going on!'' Scream Lucy
''Were gonna die!'' Scream Usopp
''Right now? I thought this was later.'' Said Robin all chill
''This is madness.'' Said Lisanna in tears.
''Can you all shut up!' Scream Nami
The little ship of the Straw Hat gang goes back to the water on the right side. But Porche and her crew were already right ahead.
''Juvia can you use your water magic to make us be on front?" Asked Lisanna
''don't worry Juvia element is water. You all are gonna be protect by me.'' Said Juvia
Using her Water magic Juvia managed to get the Straw Hat crew up front and stay really far ahead from the Foxy pirate's team. That left Porsche and her team all mad.
''We are on front!'' Said Lucy in cheers
''Thank you Juvia!" Said Nami to the water mage.
Soon the Foxy pirates saw that their team was losing to the straw Hats. But they won't be worried because they knew that their ´´genius´´ boss Foxy would come up with a master plan.
''They are ahead of us!'' Said the fishman member of the ship
''don't worry the boss has a surprise for them.'' Said Porche all simple like it was nothing.
''Feh Heh sink.'' Said Foxy with a smirk as his idea was coming ahead.
Soon a giant boulder was flying upon in the air. Ready to crush the straw hat team.
''What that!'' Scream the team
They all saw the boulder coming right at them, they had no other choice than just scream loudly.
''A boulder!'' Scream most of the group in pure horror.
''How can this be happening!'' Scream Lucy
''They are attacking us!'' Scream Usopp
''No way Sherlock!'' Scream Nami
The Boulder was getting closer and closer. Ready to turn the team into tomato sauce
''It's coming closer. Fairy Tail do you have any crazy magic that can save us?" Asked Usopp in tears
''I have this. Open the gate of the water barrier! Aquarius!'' Said Lucy summoning Aquarius.
Soon the blue mermaid spirit appear in front of the team and like usual she was pissed at Lucy. The pirates however were amazed at that, it was the first time they seen one of Lucy main spirit ready to fight.
''Who is this mermaid?'' Asked Nami confused
''Aquarius. She is one of the twelve Zodiac Gate keys. The most rare and powerful of all celestial spirits. Lucy holds 10 of the keys only missing Libra and Pisces, but nevertheless we are saved.'' Said Lisanna.
''Really. So why she works for Lucy?" Asked Usopp with a sweat drop
''Do you know what you done your bimbo!? Scorpio was ready to give me a romantic kiss and then you pull me out! '' Scream Aquarius ready to drown Lucy.
''What!' Asked Usopp and Nami confused. Wasn't Lucy supposed to be her boss.
''Look I´m sorry but this is a serious an emergency.'' Said Lucy all terrified.
''You have a lot to…WHAT THAT HELL!'' Scream Aquarius seeing the huge boulder flying toward them
Aquarius then using her waterpower make a powerful water blast enough to break the bolder and save the Straw Hat team from certain death.
''WOW! Your spirits rocks Lucy!'' Said Usopp amazed.
''Thanks a lot.'' Said Lucy to Aquarius
''don't thank me. If you survive this I´m drowning you for running my date. Got it bimbo?'' Said Aquarius still pissed.
''Uh yes ma'am.'' Said Lucy all scared.
''Why are you mad at her? Aren't you supposed to help her?" Asked Robin all calm to the mermaid.
''I don't work for her because I want, is because of a deal that I had with her mother. Now I´m stuck with her forever and she is still not a good enough mage.'' Said Aquarius
''Can't you be a little nicer to me?" Asked Lucy in tears.
''Also why do I feel a different energy coming from this outside world? Are we in Fiore or in outside kingdom?'' Asked Aquarius.
''The thing is miss Aquarius; you are in another world. After the events of Tenrou Island miss Lucy and her friends were all sent to our world full of piracy. I don't know how things work in your world but isn't the same as was in your home.'' Said Robin explaining the situation to Aquarius who was processing everything.
''Interesting. No wonder the celestial world felt some weird energy for a while. I need to inform this to Loke and the celestial King.'' Said her very serious.
''So, this is been also affecting the celestial world?" Asked Lucy
''Kind. We been getting some weird energy in our bodies and Loke is having difficulty to get off on his own.'' Said Aquarius.
Lucy upon hearing that felt worried for her spirits. Once the situation was better, she would inform every single one of them about this incident. She wanted to make sure they were ok.
''I didn't know that you guys are having problems. Tell them that I will call them later and see if they are ok.'' Said Lucy to Aquarius
''Stop being so emotional. If you keep carrying for the safety of every spirt that you have you are gonna end up dead. Is good that you care for us but also look out for yourself, we can die but is gonna take a lot of effort to do it.'' Said Aquarius
''Yes maan´.'' Said Lucy with a smile
After that Aquarius return to her key leaving the team continuing to sail towards the competition.
''She looks nice.'' Said Usopp with a sarcasm in his voice.
''Shut up! I know she seen like a jerk, but she cares for me.'' Said Lucy
''Guys I think they are still gonna pull more of that stunt on us.'' Said Lisanna
''We can't stop them.'' Said Robin
''IS a pirate game. That means that rules aren't always nice to everyone.'' Said Usop
''This is madness.'' Said Nami in horror
'But if they´re allow to use outside support. That means we can also have it.'' Said Robin and she was right
On the shore.
The straw Hats were beating that crap of the Foxy Pirates responsible for those dangerous outcomes towards their friends. Mostly Luffy, Natsu, Sanji and Elfman were on front while the rest beat some other Foxy pirates.
''What are you all doing!' Scream Natsu punching some guys with a flame fist.
''Stop doing this!'' Scream Luffy.
''Bastards" Scream Sanji kicking the face of everyone
''Are you all trying ot kill my little sister?!" Scream Elfman going on a rampage
''Guys stop they are safe now. They are back on track.'' Said Levy
''Go team!" Scream most of the crew
Back to the sail team
''Let's do this.'' Said Nami all serious
''Juvia go to the water and try to give us a push.'' Said Lucy
''Yes.'' Said Juvia going on water and becoming pretty much liquid pure so she could make waves that will push the little boat.
''Lisanna now.'' Said Lucy.
''Animal Soul Fish: Mermaid.'' Said Lisanna turning herself into a mermaid to help her team
''Wow she really turned into a mermaid.'' Said Nami and Usopp amazed of that magic. Too bad they can't have it
Soon the team was faster than the Foxy pirate's team. Passing them in the quick of a blink of an eye.
''We are on the front!'' Said Nami all happy that things were at their side for once
''Look out!'' Scream Usopp seeing a giant wave coming ready to hit them.
It wasn't easy but thanks to Usopp quick thinking, Nami weather analysis, Juvia water body and Lisanna mermaid form the little ship managed to stay intact.
''I guess we spoke too soon.'' Said Robin with a chuckle
''How did they do that?'' Asked Lucy
''They have a fishman among them!'' Said Nami seeing the fishman near Porche
''A what?" Asked Lucy
''A race of humanoid beings that have the genetics of fish. They are five times stronger than a regular human and once they are on water, they are even stronger.'' Said Robin
Then a second wave was ready to hit them but this time Juvia was prepared.
''Water Slice!'' Scream her cutting the wave
''Nice Juvia.'' Said Nami
''Special attack Fire Start!'' Said Usopp launching many bullets towards the fishman who only blocks with his Fishman karate
''Mwa Ha Ha Ha.'' Said him with alugh
''Dammit I miss!"' Said Usopp all angry. A sniper missing his target is unacceptable
''Is ok Usopp. We will get him somehow.'' Said lucy
''Ocho Fleur.'' Said Robin using her devil fruit powers
Soon the fishman of the Foxy crew named Capote had arms holding him in all angles. He couldn't move as Robin was dominating him
''Flip!"' Said Robin breaking the fishman bones.
''Capote!'' Scream Porche.
''Good robin!' Said Nami
''Yeah, now we can win.'' Said Usopp and the whole team cheer.
Back at the shore
The straw Hat crew was all excited and happy to see their team all on front and pretty much winning the race. These games were going to be easy.
''They are on the front.'' Said Levy to her friends who all cheer in excitement
''Good!" Scream the crew
''Go guys!"' Scream both Luffy and Natsu
''Lisanna go!'' Said both Elfman and Mira
''Juvia be safe!'' Said Cana
Back to the straw hat team
''They are getting back on track.'' Said Lisanna seeing the Foxy team rowing very fast.
''Do we have any plans?" Asked Lucy
''Oh, wait I have one.'' Said Usopp.
''Really!"' Asked Lucy
''What is Usopp-sama planning?'' Asked Juvia
''Wait and you see ladies.'' Said Usopp with a smirk
Usopp then went to the back of the ship and put his hand on the water confusing every girl there. He was confident for some reason
''Hold on something everybody because we are going to be fast.'' Said Usopp and then suddenly the little boat had a great impulse of speed scaring half of them team and passing the Foxy crew.
''AAAAAAAH.'' Scream everyone except Robin who was still reading her book.
''How did they do that?" Asked Porche confused
As soon as the boat stop everybody catch their breath and was amazed for what just happened
''Usopp what was that?'' Asked Nami
He then pulled his hand of the water and show something that looked like shell wrapped around his palm
''The impact dial!'' Said Usopp all scared. While it worked his planed, he didn't predict everything.
''What are those?'' ASsked Lucy
''They are devices that are made from the remain of shells. They have the impressive ability to store energy and matter.'' Said Robin explaining the impact dial.
''Wow this is so cool!' Said Lucy amazed by this world's gadgets.
''Nice job Usopp.'' Said Nami all happy
''Yeah you are the best.'' Said Lisanna hugging Usopp who blush madly
''Thanks, I am the brains of this team.'' Said Usopp smiling.
''YEAH!" Said the team rowing on front
Soon they reach an obstacle a bunch of long coral that could hit them and destroy their ship.
''An obstacle lies ahead. Its long coral reef, and beyond that awaits long coral and the long ring whirlpool.'' Said Itomimizu talking while riding a bird.
''All that is just one obstacule.'' Said Lucy in horror
''We can do this guy.'' Said Lisnna
''Hey wait a minute. Isn't that their captain?" Asked Nami seeing Foxy riding close to the straw Hat team
They all saw Foxy riding Hamburg and he was very close to the team.
''What is this guy up to?'' Asked Lucy not liking that.
''I ve just thought up something very evil.'' Said him very mischief.
They stop giving attention to Foxy and focusing in passing the coral obstacle. That was more important.
''Here we go guys.'' Said Nami
''We need to cut these corals. This way we might have a chance'' Said Lisanna
''But there is no saw here.'' Said Juvia
''Leave to me. Open gate the gate of the Giant Crab! Cancer!'' Said Lucy summoning the stylish spirit
''Did you call?" Asked doing his pose.
''Can you cut those corals cancer?" Asked Lucy
''Sure, my lady.'' Said Cancer and in a blink of a eye he managed to cut a large part of the coral leaving a safe path for the Straw Hats.
''Wow. He can cut anything.'' Said Nami impressed.
''Yeah. Also, he does a hell of haircut.'' Said Lucy all happy
They could see the Foxy team getting near them. They have a shark helping them navigate faster.
''Kyaah. Don't think the race is over.'' Said Porche
''We are coming to you.'' Said Capote ready to get revenge.
While the Foxy pirates try to catch on, the Silver Fox himself was pulling out some tricks to help his crew members. The Straw Hats on the shore didn't like the sound of that.
''That bastard is playing something.'' Said Natsu not liking this
''Yeah. Let's ends this.'' Said Luffy
''Beat his ass Luffy and Natsu.'' Said Happy.
''Hold on guys. You can party on an empty stomach.'' Said the cook of the Fox pirates.
''Yeah here. Have some ramen and sushi.'' Said a random member handing these food
''Yeah!"' Said the two idiots eating the food and they weren't the only ones
''Whoa this is good!"' Said Erza eating a bunch of cake
''Even their metal is tastier.'' Said Gajeel eating some fork and knifes.
Soon it wasn't obvious but everybody in the crew was being tricked by the Foxy crew to not pay attention into the race. Luffy, Erza, Natsu, Happy, Lily, Gray, Elfman, Mira and Gajeel were being offered food. Sanji, Gildarts, Makarov, Freed and Bicslow were being surrounded by hot women. Even Zoro and Cana were having a drinking contest with the other members of the rival team. All the others were being tricked and that was working.
Back to the Team.
The straw hats were passing easily through the coral now that cancer fixed everything to them. But still they have another challenge to face.
''Juvia can use her water magic to help cut the corals.'' Said Juvia doing her tricks.
''Go job there!" Said Usoopp
''Oh no they are coming back and…wait why are they getting slower?" Asked Lucy seeing the Foxy pirates now rowing very slowly
''Lisanna don't turn into mermaid.'' Said Nami
''Why?'' Asked her
''Trust me.'' Said Nami
Soon the Foxy pirates were trying to go to a different path confusing the Straw Hat team.
''what happen?" Asked Usopp
''Is these currents. They are worried. But they can also increase our speed.'' Said Nami
''Nice!'' Said Lucy liking that plan
After that they use the currents to their advantages and got far ahead than they expected.
''We are going to win!"' Said Lucy all happy
''Hold on! What is going on?" Asked Nami seeing something on front
Soon they saw that their front was being covered with a wall of smoke. That appeared out of nowhere.
''A smoke screen! But how?" Asked Usopp confused
The true culprit was on the shore and laughing like he was a total winner (which he wasn't). Foxy the silver Fox.
''Fe eh. I´m really a genius.'' Said him all cocky and duffus
''What an evil idea! What an evil man indeed." Said Itomimizu
But unfortunately, the Straw Hat team pass through the smoke screen with no trouble. Shocking Foxy
''what!'' Scream Foxy in horror
''Well would look at that. They ´re zooming through the rest of the coral.'' Said Itomimizu
''Poh Poh.'' Said Hamburg laughing at his boss.
Back at the straw hats
The group now reached to the Long Ring Whirlpool and this one looked more scared than a bunch of long coral.
''Whoa! That is a huge Whirlpool!'' Scream Usopp
''I´m going to be sucked into this thing!" Scream Lucy
''If you are going to be sucked you will die from drowning before being tossed to the sky.'' Said Robin
''Stop giving talk like this Robin!'' Scream Lucy
''Nami what we do?" Asked Lisanna
''Oh, don't worry I have a good plan to resolve this.'' Said Nami
''Really and what is it?'' Asked Lisanna
''Usopp use the impact dial.'' Said Nami to the scared Sniper
''What!"' Scream him
''I´m sorry for this'' Said Nami putting Usopp near the water and then using the Impact dial to make the boat float in midair flying past the Whirlpool
''AAAAH" Scream the team flying over
''Usopp you are gonna pay for this!" Scream Nami
''Robin now!'' Scream Usopp
''Sure.'' Said Robin using her devil fruit powers
Robin managed to make sure that a bunch of hands would toss the tiny boat back in the water making sure that the gang was back on front
''The straw hats are on front, but the Foxy team is getting near using an incredible team up power.'' Said Itomimizu
'We managed to pass that hell.'' Said Juvia
''Good job Usopp.'' Said Nami patting a very scared Usopp in the back
''I want a lawyer.'' Said him in shock.
''Hey look!' Said Robin point to marker that said ´´Donut Race go right´´.
''A course marker. ´´Go right´´.'' Said Nami
''OK, so let's go.'' Said Lucy ready to do that.
''Or not!'' Scream both nami and Lucy punching that obvious fake marker
''Did that idiot thought this was gonna work"? Asked Nami all pissed
''I guess so.'' Said Lisanna with a laugh
''Wow the woman of the Straw Hats are pretty though. Do they have any trust in their hearts?" Asked Itomimizu seeing everything
''Oh, shut up you!'' Scream nami
''I think we should concentrate on the race.'' Said Robin
The Straw Hats kept rowing and they saw a very ugly looking old lady falling down ill. But it was just Foxy doing his usual crap.
''Oh I´m dying. Can you all be a dear and help me?" Asked Foxy dressed as an old lady
''LIKE WE WILL FALL FOR THAT STUPID TRICK YOU IDIOT!" Scream both Nami and Lucy
They kept going and going until Usopp see the line of the Goal.
''Hey look the goal!'' Scream Usopp seeing a bander saying Goal right in front of them
''Oh my…we can win.'' Said Juvia but it was obvious that it was fake
''Stop with this!'' Scream Nami punching that fake one
''I´m sick of this crap!"" Scream Lucy also tired of that routine
''The Straw Hats ladies are truly monster of themselves.'' Said Itomimizu seeing that.
''Shut up you!'' Scream the two
''But the finishing line must be near.'' Said Robin
''We need to keep going or they will beat us and steal one of our crewmembers.'' Said Nami all worried
''Juvia couldn't accept this to happen.'' Said Juvia all worried
''But we need to hurray. They are catching up.'' Said Lisanna seeing the Foxy pirates
''Any ideas?" Asked Lucy
''I got it. Usopp can you knock over that bamboo?" Asked Nami
''Bamboo?!'' Asked Usopp
''Yes!'' Said Nami
Usopp did that and soon the plan made sense. The bamboo would block the Foxy team from passing any further. Making enough time for the Straw Hats to win
''Oh, I get. Nice job Nami.'' Said Lucy
''Kind sad that we are cheating.'' Said Lisanna
''We are pirates and your friend aren't that nice either.'' Said Nami
''True.'' Said Lisanna with a smile
The plan was working. Porche and Capote was still stuck on the bamboo while the Straw Hats were on the front
''I can't allow this to happen. Flower Shuriken!" Scream Porche releasing a bunch of flowers like if was bullets
''Look out!"' Scream Usopp
The group took cover and protect themselves from those flowers. They had a few scratches but overall, they made it alive.
''We can make it.'' Said Juvia
''Round one is ours.'' Said Usopp
The Straw Hat crew was already cheering its own for the victory of their team. This was a certain victory
''Yeah go guys.'' Said Luffy
''You can do it.'' Said Natsu
''Aye sir. Beat those jerks!"' Said Happy
''You´re right Luffy. This is kind fun.'' Said Gray
''Captain you are genius. With this we can maintain are honror.'' Said Erza
''Nami, Robin, Lucy, Juvia, Lisanna! I love you all!"' Said Sanji with hearts keys
''Go sis!'' Said Elfman and Mira
''We can do it.'' Said Evergreen
''We won't lose any friend!'' Said Freed
''Eat our dust Foxy Pirates.'' Said Bicslow
However, when everything seen to be to the side of the Straw Hats. Foxy appear one more time and shout very loud some words.
''Slow Slow Beam.'' Said him releasing a beam toward the ship
''Huh.'' Said the team all confused
The Straw Hat team felt trap in a place where time runs very slowly. They couldn't move properly. What was that?
''What is going?" Asked Nami
''Why I feel so slow?" Asked Lisanna worried.
''Are we dead?" Asked Juvia
''No is just time is slower now.'' Said Robin
''What! But how come?" Asked Lucy
''Devil fruit powers.'' Said Robin
''But how?" Asked Lucy
''him!" Scream Usopp seeing Foxy griming at the team
That slow time it was enough for the Foxy team pass the Straw Hats and win the race. Making them the first winner of the first test.
''The winner is the Foxy pirates. All thanks to their idol Porche!"' Said Itomimiziu
''Thank you all.'' Said Porche thanking her fans
The straw Hats were all shocked that Foxy played that dirty trick that cost their victory. Now they know what was about to happen.
''We lost.'' Said Erza in horror
''In that case…'' Said Cana all sad.
''They get a member of our crew.'' Said Makarov shocked as well.
''CRAP!" Scream Natsu all pissed. He now wanted nothing more than beat it up all the Foxy Pirates.
