29: foxy pirates and lost chopper

As they were flying usopp created a holder for the breath and flame dials so they cam continue flying without worry as he went and fixed all the hole in the merry with chopper to help him. Usopp finished the repairs just in time for the flame and breath dials to run out of fuel causing them to start falling, amd when they landed luffy set the octopus free into the ocean.

As they sailed they ended up being chased by sea monkeys who kept sending giant waves at them while they fled, they managed to lose the sea monkey as they passed by a ship with no sail, no flag, no navigator and no captain who ended up taking the sea monkey attention of the crew by firing cannons at the monkeys. When they neared an island usopp asked if anyone was worried about why the ship that had nothing had nothing, and that they seemed to be coming from the island they are going to. Zoro said they lost a battle which usopp denied with the fact that the ship was in pristine condition but was still bare, and alex mentioned

"They probably lost a davy back fight."

Which confused the crew except robin who understood what she was talking about so alex explained

"A davy back fight is a traditional pirate game held in homage to the mythical Davy Jones, meant to challenge and conscript members of opposing crews. It must be initiated by mutual agreement between the captains of each crew and no crew member is able to object to this, and is sealed by each captain firing a gun into the sky. The standard format is a three coin game calling on seven members from each crew to participate in three consecutive events. Each participant is limited to one event amd overall team arrangement is decided beforehand and mid-changes and substitute are not allowed. When a crew wins a challange the captain is allowed to claim any crew member up to and including their captain or the losers jolly roger, amd this process is governed by the three articles of defeat.

1: anycrew member or symbol taken can only be retrieved by anither davy back fight.

2: taken crew ,ember must immediately swear loyalty to the victorious captain.

3: taken symbol must never again be raised by the losing crew

Claiming uninvolved crew members is wholly legal and ,ay be done to weaken opposing crew in upcoming events, additionally crew members taken in the last event cannot be retaken in subsequent games"

When alex was done with the explanation the crew stayed in silence to think over what she said, but before they could think to much they reached the island. Luffy, usopp and chopper immediately went to explore the island leaving the rest behind, where they saw their ship trapped by another who shot giant claws with chains on either side of their ship and demanded a davy jones fight. Alex seeing where this was going straight away says their captain is somewhere on the island and to go find him if they want anything before kicking one of the paws back inti the ship and having Nami move the merry away from the spot it was until it was next to the ship instead if trapped by the ship.

After their catoian left nami turned to them

"Luffy wont agree will he?! He knows that its a bad idea right?!"

But all she got was deadpan stares and alex saying

"Its luffy"

In the most dead voice possible that denied nami's hopes. Alex then went and climbed a tree saying that they were not to wake her unless they were leaving the island as she didn't want to take part in the challenge as the opposing crew looked super stupid and weak, which made her not want to fight them in the challenge as it felt like a waste of time.

As a;ex was sleeping she smelt a delicious smell amd woke up next to a booth of food where she unconsciously walked after smelling the food, looking around while eating alex is greeted by groups of people staring at her as she eats.

"Whats your problem?"

Alex asked hiving them a death glare causing them all to flinch back and look away. After eating alex started to walk around the carnival seeming olace windering how this popped up until she saw that it was the crew from earlier who set it up in celebration of the foxy fight her crew amd them were doing

'Honestly that idiot still agreed to a davy back fight even when we wont get anything from it, he wouldn't want any of their crew dl the only thing of value would be the jolly roger and even then its not worth the effort'

Alex thiught as tick marks appeared on her forehead. Alex them went to where the competition was happening while eating candu she took along the way so she could watch the match, and she saw them competing in a boat race. Alex watched as someone interfered with the race amd found out it was the captain of the opposing crew so she walked towards him as the crowd focused on the race. Alex walked behind the captain after he out up a sign to trick nami and kicks him into the water causing the announcer to scream out

"Oh another person has joined in on the interfering and has viciously kicked silver fox foxy into the water!"

This caused his crew to panic and the giant ape like guy who was with him to jump in after foxy

"Oye why did you go after him?"

Alex asked after he drags foxy back onto shore, and before he could reply foxy used his slow slow fruit on alex before walking up to her and punching her stomach as he couldn't reach her face. Alex while not completely made of muscles like a certacin swordsman still has enough that if the punch isn't strong enough she wont feel it and it might actually hurt the puncher, which is the case with foxy when he punched her.

Looking down at the guy holding his hand in pain alex kicked him back i ti the water and walked away leaving the gorilla guy to pull him back out, as she made her way to the finish line she saw her crew there waiting for Nami, Usopp and robin. Along the way the foxy guy managed to interrupt the race again this time using his devil fruit, and alex yelled

"Im sick of you! Just disappear!"

Before she kicked him so hard in the face he was like a skipping stone across the water as he went flying into his ship. As foxy won the race he was allowed to chose a crew member from the straw-hats and he chose chopper after almost choosing alex but thought better of it when she gave him a death glare so fierce everyone flinched back terrified.

As the second match was about to start alex walked up to zoro and sanji

"Ill make you guys a deal"

"Oh what would that be?"

"If you guys lose ill drink all the booze we get for the rest of our trips and ill make it so every girl you meet thinks you have syphilis"

These words caused both to visibly pale and sweat

'but if you win ill help you get a famous type of booze or more of it amd ill give you pictures of naked girl when we reach the next island."

These words caused both of them to get fire in their eyes and a strong determination to win. Watching them fight iver the ball man alex was about to yell out at them but then nami best her to it by saying the ball looks great on sanji causing him to be the ball man for nami. Watching them almost lose instantly after the game started alex started do have her flames slowly crawl out of her skin and start to make a face in a representation of her rage but managed to bring it under control when they managed to escape being scored on. Alex sees that the ref who didn't let zoro bring his swords init the game was allowing the opposing team to have weapons hidden across their body walked behind him and tapped his shoulder to get his attention, and when he turn around she focuses all her killing intent onto him causing him to see a giant cat face with blood dripping from its fangs and eyes so scary they seem to suck his soul out of his body

"You'll allow our swordsman his swords now right? I mean the other team has weapons so it shouldn't be s problem right?"

Alex asked with a sunshine and rainbow smile that had her teeth shinning like guy sensei, to which the ref could only shakily nod his dead before passing out. Alex seeing him nod goes to pass zoro his swords but is stopped by luffy who said that they would follow the rules of the game, to which alex could only helplessly agree. She watched as zoro and sanji were sent flying by big pan and zoro was then smashed i ti the ground by gorilla man with iron knuckles before being sent flying towards zoro with his iron elbow guards by a throw from big pan. Gorilla man crashes into zoro's stomach causinghim to spit blood. Pickles the guy with spiked shoulder them chsrges sanji sending him flying with cuts, gorilla guy semds him back with a punch from his iron knuckles, and oickles semds him higher i to the air with anither shoulder attack where big pan smashes him into the ground like a professional volleyball player .

As the dust clears the crowd was able to see lying in the ground seemingly dead! As the foxy pirates were celebrsting zoro and sanji stood back up with shadows over their eyes amd blood running down their face. Alex couldnt help but ask when she watched the three enemies pull weapons out of their pants

"Do you guys not have anything going for you that you out weapins there to imitate it?"

Which caused the crowd to burst out laughing and the three to face plants into the ground in shock. After getting up they were then horribly beaten by sanji and zoro who decided to work together, with sanji semding gorilla man at big pan who crushed him between two iron plates as hes stupid, and zoro sends oickle flying into big pan as he was spinning with swords causing him to sluce up big pan. Sanji then kicks big pan back into a standing position before kicking pickles out of the way of zoro who charges at big pan, with the help of sanji giving him a boost with his kick zoro went flying into big pans face and grabs his open upper faw and uses that as leverage point to semd big pan flying head first into the goal.
