"You know, this took longer than you think." Mina shown off the framed picture, or rather framed collage of that face, Enel's shock face in fact.
"I... I can't believe you actually made it." Jiro was impressed, but she was even more impressed with the fact that there's so many different versions of the Enel face besides the anime and the manga. Hell, there's apparently merchandise of the face too, and in all honesty, she wished she could have some; just something to remember that face by, but this is good too.
"I mean, you're the one who suggested it." Denki shrugged, but he was more than happy to revel in the moment of weakness Enel had.
Soon, the picture was placed on a wall, forever immortalize for all to see and laugh.
Skipping episode 207's opening and title had show the class that the Straw Hats are floating in the sky, using the Flame Dial to keep the octopus afloat.
"Curse you, Bakugo." Mina pouted.
"Wow, it looks wider now." Denki said.
As Usopp tried to repair the ship, the Flame Dial was put out, causing the ship to fall. Luffy attempted to light the dial as Usopp and Chopper got back on the ship just in time for it to fall back into the waters.
Chopper fixed the Octopus Balloon's wounds, which lead the girls and Koda to awe at the kind gesture.
Luffy picked it up, thanking it and throwing it out to sea, as the other Straw Hats said their goodbyes to it.
"Man, skipping these filler episodes really makes it feel like we're missing something." Sero gave a pointed stare at Katsuki.
"Get over yourself." Katsuki rolled his eyes.
Luffy wanted to set sail already. Usopp argued they should rest, but Nami reminded them that the waves look a little strange so they should turn to port.
...Then tidal waves risen up, Sea Monkeys appearing.
"They seriously can't take a break." Hizashi shook his head.
Back in Mock Town, citizens panicked, terrified that Bellamy and Sarquiss are fighting each other.
"Oh shit," Denki said, seeing the blood on Sarquiss's knife.
"What's going on?" Ochako asked, a bit panicked.
Sarquiss seemed to be in pain, but one man knows why. Doflamingo claimed that they've tarnished his symbol.
"That's your symbol?" Jiro gaped at the man's appearance.
"So, they're your underlings?" Izuku had to ask, noting the way the man moved his fingers.
Doflamingo didn't care about the existance of sky islands and golden cities. They're just suppose to twist people around by taking advantage of differing opinions.
The people were terrified, seeing that he's a shibikai who used to have a bounty of 300 million.
"300 million? That's ridiculous." Iida said.
"I mean, there has to be a reason why he's part of it." Aizawa grimaced.
Doflamingo doesn't need them, so with a twitch of his finger, Sarguiss's body was forced to slice through Bellamy.
Some of the students gasped, but stilled when they saw Bellamy move.
He begged for one more chance, despite the others' refusal. Bellamy wants to follow him, explaining that he would had reached him someday.
"Why would you be so willing to follow him after he tried to kill you?" Jiro had to ask.
Doflamingo decided to let him go, but he doesn't need him anymore.
Students gasped once more at the fact that Doflamingo took out Bellamy despite his loyalty.
The Shibibukai told the world around him that the new era is coming, where only true pirates will survive.
"And he's part of the World Government?" Kirishima gulped.
"I mean, it's not like the World Government has shown itself to be fully good." Mina said.
As the sun rises, the Straw Hats were able to relax for a moment until Usopp saw a ship with no flag and no sails, much to Luffy's confusion.
"Yeah, what does that mean?" Denki agreed.
"Well, it doesn't look like they've lost everything in a storm or something." Sero said.
Usopp also noted that the crew is rather small, looking timid, almost lifeless.
...Then the Sea Monkeys came.
"Again?!" Toru shouted.
"And what about the other ship?" Ojiro asked.
As the Straw Hats rowed, Sanji asked the same. Luffy yelled out a warning to them, but the other crew couldn't decide whether to steal from them or run away from the waves.
"This crew is really unorganized." Iida frowned, hearing that they don't even have a captain.
"What kind of ship is this?" Momo had to ask.
Since they're so distracted by their fighting, the ship was swallowed up by the waves, and drowned.
"...What the hell was that?" Jiro exclaimed, hands raised.
After the eyecatches, the Straw Hats were able to calm down, and soon, an island was within sight, though Luffy and Usopp wished Robin had told them sooner.
"I mean, you were all distracted by Sea Monkeys." Shoji reasoned.
Robin ignored their instructions to do so, and instead, inform them of the thick fog. With Chopper on watch, Usopp wondered about the ship without a captain or a navigator or anything. Just what kind of pirates are they?
Zoro assumed they've lost a battle where the captain got killed and they got plundered, but Usopp noticed that there wasn't any signs of a battle. It's basically a bare ship.
"Seriously, how did they get like that?" Toru sighed.
Sanji assumed they weren't pirates, though Usopp thought otherwise, getting a bad feeling in all of this, but the cook and Luffy weren't.
"I mean, it could happen to you." Tokoyami guessed.
"Don't jinx it!" Mina practically hissed.
As they entered the fog, Chopper hoped for a good shipwright to join them.
"Oh, I would love a new crew mate." Mina hoped.
Just Luffy called out for shore, Usopp collapsed and Sanji knows it's his "Can't Go On the Island" disease.
"Seriously, how far in the Grand Line are we in and yet you're still a coward?" Katsuki complained.
Once they reached land, they were weirded out with how bare it is, though Robin wondered if anyone lives there.
"It's so... bare." Momo commented on.
"I don't think anyone lives here." Izuku said. "No signs of life besides vegetations."
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper happily leaped onto the island, rolling around on the grass as Nami complained about them barging in uncharted territory, though Zoro could see that there isn't any danger around.
"I think the only danger they have to worry about is grass stains." Tsuyu mused, seeing how relaxed the three are.
Then, the three discovered a tall bear.
"I-I guess there are living things here." Izuku said, a little shocked.
"But why is it so tall?" Ochako wondered, though Usopp called it 'long.'
From the long bear, Luffy was able to snack on a long apple, and Usopp noticed how tall the trees are.
"Is it the island that made everything so tall?" Iida wondered.
"I know we saw an island with dinosaurs on it, but this is a weird island so far." Hizashi had to say.
With his goggles, Usopp discovered a house, but before they could approach it, a long animal and a long deer and a long bird and a long dog crossed their way.
...
There was something deep, deep inside Katsuki that had wished for the filler before this. It's killing him to even think that, but it's true.
All the while, Koda looked interested in the elongated animals, hoping they're okay.
As Luffy had the dog shake his paw, Usopp attempted to limbo under the dog and would had succeed if Luffy haven't ordered the dog to sit.
Then Luffy ordered him to beg.
The students giggled and chuckled at the turn of events.
"Well, I guess we needed a more relaxing arc after Skypiea." Izuku assumed.
From the Going Merry's crow's nest, Robin noticed another ship from the fog, though the others were distracted with where Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper could be, so they have to get off of the ship.
At the house, Usopp and Chopper were confused with the long island, but Luffy entered the house anyway despite Usopp's fears of the boss of the island living here.
...But nobody was there.
"Huh, strange island with a lone house. It sounds like a beginning to a horror movie." Denki said.
"But none of this looks like a horror movie." Todoroki pointed out.
Chopper had found a 'giraffe,' or rather a long horse, and her name is Shelly.
"The saddle on her must mean someone actually does live here." Momo took note, which Usopp pointed out the same.
Then Luffy pointed out the two bamboo trees, and wanted a closer look, but when Usopp did, they moved.
"Is someone using them as stilts?" Mina asked, a little shocked by the idea.
When the bamboo 'attacked' Luffy, with a Whip, the bamboo easily broke, leading to much celebration.
Woo-hoo... You cut down bamboo... Katsuki sarcastically thought, already tired of this.
Chopper asked Shelly about her owner, but she has no clue where he is.
Then something crashed into the ground, and that thing was a... spirit?
"I think that's just an old man." Hizashi said.
"How many old men do you know could survive a fall like that?" Aizawa asked, ignoring Toshinori's slowly raising hand.
For the other Straw Hats, they heard loud, booming sounds as clawed chains blocked their ship from leaving.
They were introduced to the Foxy Pirates, and all they want is a showdown.
"...Oh my god, is this going to be One Piece's first tournament arc?" Kirishima gasped.
"It appeared a lot later than I thought if that's the case." Tokoyami said.
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper checked out the 'spirit,' who seemed to know them, but in actuality, he doesn't.
He's Tonjit, and he thanked them for knocking him off of his stilts.
"You couldn't get off of it yourself?" Ojiro questioned.
"Maybe his stilts grew too tall for him to do so." Tsuyu mused.
"Wait, do bamboo grow even when they're cut?" Denki asked.
The reason he was on those stilts is because he's very fond of stilts and tried to make the world's largest using the island's bamboo... but he was scared to go back down when he did get on them and was up there for ten years.
"...How did you survive for that long?" Iida had to ask.
Well, the bamboo grew during that time, making it harder for him to come back down. He survived on the fruit in the trees.
"Look like I was right." Tsuyu let out a small giggle.
"I guess he got the food and water down." Shoji said.
"What about sleeping?" Toru asked.
"He must hand slept while he stood up?" Denki shrugged.
"What about shi-" Sero was off by a disgusted glare from Jiro.
"We don't want to think about that." Jiro quickly concluded.
Luffy asked why this island is so long. Tonjit explained that it's just a giant, grassy plain that covers this island, and for excitement, it made everything long.
"...An island can get bored?" Aizawa said in confusion.
Holy shit, this feels like filler. Katsuki mentally dreaded.
An example would be the plaaatypus, or the Daaachshund, or the snow leooopard.
A few students snorted at the sideway long leopard.
In the bushes, shadowy figures spied on them, knowing Luffy is the captain.
"To Be Continued."
And so, Katsuki's soul continued to dread.
Skipping episode 208's opening, recap, and title, the class could see the old man had invited the three to his house, saying that it's a custom in his village to treat visitors to milk from their farm animals.
"But there's no village," Iida said.
"Or farm animals." Tokoyami added on.
"And I doubt that milk's safe to drink after 10 years." Momo included.
Luffy and Chopper asked about his village and farm animals, making the old man realize that fact. Usopp doubted the village's existence, but Tonjit will explain in later after he treats them... that milk he stored away, which turned into cheese.
"...That's not how milk turns into cheese." Momo said, then her face curled in disgust when the old man had a taste of it.
Usopp didn't want the others to taste it, and Tonjit claimed it's edible, claiming his stomach is different from theirs... but he ended up on the floor, asking a doctor.
Chopper checked, and claimed it's food poisoning.
There were students who snickered and scoffed at that as Katsuki complained, "Jesus Christ, how did we get from fighting a wannabe god to this?"
After Tonjit recovered, he claimed he and his people are carefree nomads, always on the move, and welcomed the three to the island of Long Ring Long Land. He explained that it's technically a single ring-shaped island, but because of the sea, it's usually divided into ten separate islands. On one day a year, the tide gets low where the island regains its true form. His people use this to migrate from one island to the next every three years.
"Oh, that's interesting." Mina commented on.
"But that means he got left behind." Ochako frowned.
"I'm sure the Straw Hats could take him to his village." Kirishima said.
"After they defeat that Split Head guy." Katsuki grumbled.
Usopp could see he got left behind, and figured it would take his village thirty years to come back here. Tonjit wished he had a hooorse to catch up.
"Well, we have Shelly." Toru said.
Tonjit thought of how useful a hooorse is right now, though Luffy asked if he can take a ship instead. Well, he doesn't know how to sail, and besides, when the Log Pose charges, it won't point to the next island on the ring.
"Of course, because it's the same island." Izuku nodded in agreement.
Tonjit decided to stay here for the next twenty years, but then Chopper remembered the horse, which turned out to be Tonjit's Shelly.
"Aw, it's kind of adorable." Mina said, seeing the two reunite and galloped around the land.
It was a joy for the three to watch the two enjoy themselves, remembering the past, that all their waiting was worth it.
...Then Shelly was shot.
"No!" "Hooorse!" "Shelly!" Several cried came out, with Koda being the louder of the group.
As Usopp and Chopper went over to the wringing Shelly, Luffy was face to face with a man and his crew. After the eyecatches, they're revealed to be... some guys Luffy doesn't know.
Though a few snickered at the man's depressed reaction to Luffy not knowing him, Katsuki said, "This is the start of my pain, isn't it?"
"Would you complain less if I told you that we're going to skip the filler in this?" Aizawa asked.
"Oh God, this whole arc isn't filler." Katsuki bowed his head, causing his teacher to sigh.
Anyway, this man is Foxy, asking he's so worked up over a horse.
"She's not just a horse. She's Shelly!" Koda attempted to raise his voice.
Luffy tried to attack, but he stopped when Foxy mentioned his name, asking how he knew it.
"Luffy, I know the arc had a lot of episodes, but it was technically a few days ago your bounty was updated." Jiro said.
Foxy challenged him and his crew to a 'Davy Back Fight,' but Luffy just wants to fight him, though Usopp knows what it is, remembering the ship back them. If they do it, they'll lose crew members! So Luffy can't agree to the challenge.
"You can't just refuse it?" Shoji asked.
"It would go against their pirate pride."
"And Shelly. Do it for Shelly." Koda hoped.
Foxy claimed Luffy had already agreed, and he can't just back out now. For Luffy, he's doing it for Shelly.
"Thank you, Luffy." Koda let out a sigh of relief.
Tonjit attempted to hold the three Foxy Pirates up at gun point.
With the other Straw Hats, they were told about the Davy Back Fights from the rest of the Foxy's crew. Zoro thought it was nonsense, saying they should just fight, but Sanji corrected him, saying it's a pirate game. As Robin explains, it supposedly around long ago on 'Pirate Island,' which is said to be a pirate paradise somewhere in the sea. Pirates are suppose to plunder each other for crew members.
"So, that's what happened to that other pirate group." Izuku took note.
"I'm sure the Straw Hats won't lose anyone." Ochako hoped.
"Unless they use tricks." Denki narrowed his eyes.
The Foxy Pirates mocked them for not knowing that, explaining the rules and how the chosen crew mate must be loyal to their new captain, and if the enemy ship has no one of interest, then they can be stripped of their Jolly Roger.
"Yes, it's about pride!" Kirishima explained, seemingly proud of being right.
"God, why does it have to be about pride?" Jiro sighed.
Nami figured that must be what happened to that ship they've came across, and the Foxy Pirates know that they ran across the Fang-Frog Pirates, who fell prey to their game earlier, introducing the former members of said crew.
"And they don't mind?" Momo said, confused by their attitude.
"I think it's more like... they have to live with it, taking it into stride." Hizashi assumed.
"Wait, are there frogs with fangs?" Denki wondered.
"Actually there are some species with fangs hidden." Tsuyu informed.
"...Do you have fangs?"
"No."
"Darn."
Nami doesn't agree to this game, but the captain has to reach that agreement. Sanji warned her to not run or else they'll be completely humiliated, though Nami didn't care while Zoro would rather die than live in shame.
"Geez, even Zoro and Sanji are agreeing on the same thing." Jiro can't tell if she should be impressed or worried.
Robin waved it off as that's how men are.
Nami planned to stop Luffy, but the signals had been shot, meaning the captains had agreed, much to Nami and Usopp's chagrin.
"Of course." Ochako sighed, shaking her head.
Luffy plans to kick that Split Head's ass, much to Foxy's self esteem.
"Serves you right, Split Head!" Katsuki shouted back.
"Are you two more alike than I thought?" Todoroki asked, bordering on fascination.
Usopp tried to convince Luffy to back out, but the old man's encouragement didn't help in the situation.
So, there was an open ceremony.
"It's a lot more festive than I thought." Iida commented on.
"It's definitely not their first rodeo, that's for sure." Hizashi added.
On stage, Porche announced the pledge to follow the three rules about losing: the only way to take back crew mates is through another Davy Back Fight, anyone taken by the winner must swear loyalty to the ship's captain, and if the Jolly Roger is taken, they can't display it again.
As Sanji got the women cotton candy, Nami can't believe the others are so calm about this.
"Do you really think Straw Hat will let himself lose after this far?" Tokoyami smirked.
"And the fact that there's still a thousand episodes left of this series." Jiro added on.
"Unless those thousand episodes are with the Foxy Pirates." Todoroki theorized.
"Oh god no." Katsuki's eyes widen in horror at the sheer idea of that.
If any of them break these rules, they'll be considered dishonorable pirates and sent to Davy Jones' locker, so the captains swear on those rules.
Foxy let Luffy choose between 1-3 coins. When Luffy asked what they're for, Porche explained that they mean the number of games, and her captain is letting him choose if it should be a one-match game or three.
"One match, one match," Mineta crossed his fingers.
Luffy was about to choose when he heard Nami and Usopp call out to him, then saw them hold up a finger... so three coins.
"Of course they're tricksters!" Toru complained once it was revealed that Hamburg also held up a finger next to them.
"It's Luffy's fault for adding them up... including the enemy's." Jiro rolled her eyes, as Usopp and Nami complained about the same.
As Foxy launched his coins into the sea, Chopper asked who this Davy Jones is, and Robin explained that he's an old pirate cursed by the devil who's said to live in the depths of the sea, and all the ships and treasures that sink into the sea are said to go to his ship's 'locker.'
"Is that where it came from?" Denki wondered as the girls and Koda cooed and awed at the fact that Chopper's eating cotton candy.
Sanji explained that pirates would call this a "Davy Back" because you can steal whatever you want from the enemy, just as Davy takes everything that comes his way.
Let the games begin.
"To Be Continued."
What did I do to deserve this? Katsuki mentally groaned.
Onto episode 209, they skipped the opening, recap, and title to see Nami and Usopp squishing Luffy's face in frustration, though Luffy claimed that all they need to do is win.
"You don't even know what these games are." Aizawa sighed.
"Imagine if they're like the ones from the school festival." Toshinori mused.
They were given rosters, and were told that members can only participate twice. Once they're chosen, it's set in stone.
The events of the contest are a race, a ball game, and a team competition.
"That sounds rather normal." Shoji commented on.
"Let's see how crazy this becomes." Sero grinned.
For the race, it's open to all members while the ball game is open to three with the team competition open to five.
Luffy wants to do all three, and Robin reminded him that it's not allowed. Nami and Usopp were definitely gloomy over the situation, assuming they'll be picked.
"I mean, at least Red Head's a navigator. The least Long Nose could do is be the jester." Katsuki rolled his eyes.
"He's a good sniper!" Kirishima argued.
The rosters had been announced. On the Straw Hats team, the whole crew is participating in the Donut Race, Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper are in the Groggy Ring, while Luffy, Robin, Nami, and Usopp are in Run Around Roller.
"Are you sure you want Sanji and Zoro to be on the same team?" Jiro sweatdropped.
"I guess Chopper's there to balance them out." Izuku shrugged.
Foxy wants one certain member to be in his crew as the announcer, Itomimizu, present the first round: the Donut Race.
The Straw Hats thought about how to pair up, considering the fact that there are Devil Fruits users here.
Then it has been announced the boats can be made from two oars and three empty barrels, as a way for shipwrights to show off their stuff.
"And of course, they don't have one." Aoyama sighed.
"I mean, it's kind of unfair to begin with, considering the fact that the Straw Hats have seven members while the Foxy Pirates have so much more." Ojiro said.
"That is the risk to having such a small crew." Sato commented on.
Zoro figured that they can split up into three teams, though some of their building skills aren't up to par.
As the teams build, Itomimizu explained the game's rules, explaining it'll be one lap around the island but the team's out once their boat sinks, and weapons are allowed.
"This will be easy." Denki grinned.
"Well, we don't know if any of the Foxy Pirates have any Devil Fruit abilities." Iida reminded him.
Just as they're on the starting line, Itomimizu had announced the members on popularity with Porche on top, with Capote and Monda alongside her.
Nami argued that its unfair that they're using a fish, but Porche argued back that it isn't against the rules.
"I mean, he's sentient and a part of their crew." Kirishima shrugged.
Itomimizu had announced the second most popular is, in fact, Nami, Usopp, and Robin, as the Foxy Pirates wanted Nami and Robin on their crew.
"Pigs." Jiro growled, and it doesn't help her mood seeing that Mineta was drooling over the two too.
Nami was worried about their ship sinking, though their Barrel Tiger is probably better than the rest of the Straw Hats'.
"Usopp is definitely the closest person to a shipwright they have." Momo sighed.
The rest of the popularity spots belonged to the Foxy Pirates, while Basically Barrels belongs to last to third place as It's a Raft won a booby prize, meaning they're second to last.
"There's an even worst boat than that?" Sato was shocked by the idea, which Usopp agreed with.
The last place goes to the Mothership Coaster, a very large boat compared to the others.
"...So, yeah, they're cheating." Sero said, seeing how the boat is obviously made up of more than three barrels and two oars, though the Foxy members on the boat claimed it's made up of three giant barrels, so it counts.
"Then, everyone should have three giant barrels as well." Iida said.
"Once again, the Foxy Pirates are basically cheating at this point."
With the boats on the starting line, the crews were ready, though Foxy doubted that the Straw Hats will beat them.
With Eternal Poses in their grasp, Nami was confuse by this, determining that they take the shortest route along the inside track, but Usopp pointed out how suspicious that, besides the giant one, the Foxy Pirates are on the outside track, facing outward.
"Oh, they definitely know something." Toru exclaimed, sounding frustrated.
"It's definitely involves the giant boat there." Ojiro said.
Usopp is determined that the Straw Hats leave the shore as soon as they start, though Luffy wasn't paying attention to what he said.
Once the race start, Nami and Usopp rowed as fast as they could, but the Straw Hats found themselves in a wave of barrels from the Mothership Coaster.
Nami poked one of them... ad it exploded.
"This is unfair! It's like seven against a hundred!" Toru shouted.
"But it's not against the rules." Tokoyami sighed, dissatisfy with this.
They have to get rid of them without touching them, so Zoro borrowed an oar. Spinning that oar, he managed to sent them back, driving the members of the Mothership Coater to jump off their ship just in time for the landmines to hit the ship, and explode.
"Oh, what good thinking." Momo congratulated with a clap.
This resulted in a big wave for the Straw Hats, and after the eyecatches, the crew were riding the wave, picking up some of the Foxy Pirates.
"Ha! How do you like that?!" Kirishima exclaimed.
The wave had calmed down for the Straw Hats. Though their raft had been shaken by the wave, Luffy wanted another one, leading Sanji to wonder what happened to the girls... Then the Harem no Tango and the Oyakota Dane came up to them.
"Of course..." Mina sighed, seeing the Luffy, Sanji, Chopper, and Zoro were being swayed by these ships, so they've been KOed.
"Come on, do better!" Katsuki shouted as Nami yelled at them to get back to the race.
Porche was ever so smug about the whole thing, ordering Capote to do some Fishman Karate. By just chopping his hand into the water, Capote was able to send a shockwave, taking out one of the barrels of the leftover Straw Hat's boat.
Hearing the girls' cries, Sanji kicked it into gear, forcing the others back into the race.
"Finally!" Jiro shouted, a little proud of him.
Capote was able to take on a Flame Star from Usopp, but Robin used 'Ocho Fleurs' on the fishman, holding him back.
"Flip!" Robin's disembodied hands flipped Capote right into Monda.
Koda felt bad for the shark as the others let out loud cheers for the victory.
"They haven't won yet." Aizawa reminded them.
Nami was grateful for this moment, demanding that Usopp swim and pull the boat, but of course, he can't.
The Foxy Pirates were still ahead, but Foxy and Hamburg were preparing a little something.
"They're going to cheat, aren't they?" Ochako let out a disappointed sight.
"I expect so." Izuku shook his head.
Sanji was rowing the raft for the girls, but Luffy gotten the idea that involves a broken wooden board.
One scene later, the two are spreading ahead.
"What is he doing?" Iida asked, seeing Luffy's face in the water.
Zoro complained about the speed, though they've used the oars for the bars.
Suddenly, Zoro sensed the Foxy Pirates near, cutting off part of his ship before they could stab them through.
"So manly! He just knew they were coming!" Kirishima's eyes seemed to sparkle at that.
"Though he had to sacrifice part of the ship." Tokoyami sighed.
Jumping onto the Foxy Pirates' ships, Zoro could see their ways and sliced down their boats, though at the last second, the ship shot out its horn, causing Chopper's ship to sink.
"Chopper, no!" The girls and Koda cried out, even more sadden when they saw Chopper cried as Zoro brought him back to the waters' surface.
Nami became gloomy at this, though ordered Usopp to use a dial. He used a Breath DIal, but... they were barely moving. Usopp wondered if they used up all the wind from escaping-
"Hey! No filler shit!" Katsuki shouted at him.
"But I bet he wishes he's watching that instead of this." Mina smugly whispered.
Nami suggested a Jet Dial, but Usopp refused, so Robin suggested an Impact Dial instead. Usopp claimed he left it on the Merry, but a look from Robin made him panic.
"Oh, I know that look." Hizashi teased.
Nami 'cried,' claiming the Foxy Pirates will take her because she's so cute, Usopp suggested that they just paddle instead, earning him a beating.
Namu yelled at Robin for reading, though she is still technical paddling, or at least her disembodied hands are.
"I mean, she is paddling," Toshinori shrugged.
Porche spun her baton, asking Capote if they should go straight for the goal or sink them. Well, Capote wants them to pay.
Itomimizu announced the race's climax with the Cutie Wagon on first, Barrel Tiger on second, and... Crab Crane is out of the race with Luffy and Sanji pasting right by the Cutie Wagon, then followed Usopp, Nami, and Robin.
"Yes!" Denki cheered.
Porche was shocked by their speed, but suddenly, Luffy slowed down, revealing his arms were in a corkscrew, holding onto the broken board.
"So, that's how he've done it." Izuku said, impressed.
"How close are they to the finish line?" Mina panicked.
Usopp suggested that they paddle the rest of the way there, but the Cutie Wagon had already passed by them. Still, in turn, Robin was able to hold onto their body by her extended arm.
Capote called her a cheater-
"And what about the shit you pulled?!" Jiro shouted at him.
-and swung his sword down... which made him fall onto the waters since there's no arm there to cut.
Nami tried to get Luffy to help, he's been knocked out for the time being, so for now, they have to keep moving.
Porche has to sink them, but Itomimizu warned them of the biggest obstacle course the Long Coral Reef and the Long Ring Whirlpool of Long Cape.
"Oh, of course these's an obstacle course." Ojiro sighed.
Suddenly, Itomimizu announced the arrival of "Full Dash" Hamburg and "Silver Fox" Foxy, who has an evil idea.
"To Be Continued."
"Alright, what powers do you have?" Sero wondered.
"You're no 'silver fox.'" Hizashi said towards the TV.
"Okay, we're done." Katsuki was quick to stand up, and leave the living room.
AN: (One Piece Live Action spoilers ahead, I guess) So, the One Piece Live Action had come out... and it was surprisingly good. I mean, it's not perfect, and I'm only saying that because I feel like OPLA Luffy is a little too nice for my liking (He didn't took all food from the chefs! Anime/Manga Luffy would never do that), and the some of emotional moments don't hit that hard for me, despite the fact it worked in anime/manga. Besides that, it's actually a good live action adaption of an anime, and that's saying a lot. I honestly like the clever way it was able to condense One Piece where it's recognizable but it's kind of it's own thing, like how the Syrup Village arc has familiar plot points but changed them enough where it's different (I mean, they actually killed Merry off!). Another good thing about this is that it's convincing others to read/watch One Piece, so it's a win in my book, though I'm curious with how they're going to adapt the other arcs, like Laboon. I mean, it's been already renewed for a new season.
Anyway, anyone who had watched it, what do you think of it? Was it good to you? Was it bad to you?
By the way, as you noticed, I've been gone a 'while' and that's because I've been going through some personal issues. Apologies for taking so long.
Nov Edit: Alright, now the reason became that I was waiting for FFNet to fix itself so I can get the alerts, but it's been forever and I decided not to wait any longer, so here's a chapter, and I'm sorry for making you guys wait forever for one.
