Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 98 Competition of Long Chain Islands (4)

……………………The game continues…………………

Out of the game, Luffy and the others plan to walk back to the finish line in a straight line, which is where the two teams' ships are.Still holding the encore, Luffy smiled and looked at the ridiculously long animals passing by occasionally, thinking about how to eat them.While Zoro and Sanji were still bickering, Chopper was thankful that the eagle didn't eat him just now.Now everyone can only listen to the passionate and enthusiastic voice of the host explaining the fierce competition between the remaining two ships, of course over the radio.

"'Now the race is in the middle, with <Barrel Tiger> rowing hard on one side, and <Cute Minivan> chasing quickly with sharks and murlocs on the other!! It’s so intense! Wow!! Now <Barrel Tiger> In front of > appeared a sign indicating to turn right! However, <Barrel Tiger> actually interrupted the sign board! The boss’s trick <Fighting Deception> was seen through!! This is not easy to deal with Now, is she just a woman who doesn’t believe in anything?... (quiet for a while), and her mouth is also bad! The game is still going on!!'”

"Anke, did Nami say anything?" Luffy asked curiously, "Why did the host say she has a bad mouth??"

An Ke shook his head and thought for a while, "In that case, Nami would probably say 'You're so annoying!'..."

"Miss Nami with a bad mouth is also very charming~~~" Sanji burst into pink bubbles as expected, "And, the guessed cutie is also very cute~~~"

Zoro, who was slowly following behind Luffy, said flatly, "Nympho..."

"What did you say??"

"Nympho, idiot cook..."

"You bastard green algae head!!!"

"That..." Chopper who followed at the end looked worriedly at the two who were fighting: "That...it's not good to fight..."

"To shut up!!"

"Hahaha!!!" Luffy, holding the encore and walking backwards, smiled and watched Zoro and Sanji's fight without any intention of stopping it.

"'It's still <Barrel Tiger> in the lead, they crossed the long shock wave that can knock the ship high into the air! Next is the boss who stretched out his claws for the third time! Somehow, it will pretend to be life The boss of the dying old lady completely ignores the life and death of others, as long as she lives well, this is Nami, a cold-blooded navigator who has no blood or tears!!... (quiet for a while), and her mouth is also fierce!"

"Then what did Nami say this time~~" Luffy, who was so bored to guess what Nami said, curiously asked Encore in his arms.

"Hmm~~" After continuing to shake his head and think about it, Anke tried to shout angrily: "This kind of thing wants to lie to me! You are so boring!!!"

"Wow~~~~ The vicious little cutie is so cute~~~~~" Sanji continued to spin.It was rare for Sauron not to dismantle him this time, after all, that idiot cook was telling the truth.

Chopper believed it naively: "Is this how cute it is?? Sanji is so amazing~~~"

"'The victory is close at hand! <Cute Minivan> has already caught up!! The first round: kayaking around the island, the winner will be...Which side??'"

"Ah??? We're at the end so soon???" Hearing this, Luffy rushed forward immediately: "I want to see the result, not hear the result!!!"

"Why so fast???" Sanji followed immediately, "Ms. Nami and Ms. Robin who have reached the finish line must be waiting for me~~"

"Idiot..." Zoro, who was running fast, commented indifferently, and in the next second, some idiot fought with him again.Chopper, who continued to kindly persuade the fight, said tearfully, "I've said it all...fight..."

"To shut up!!"

"'I've been seen through!! Even <False Terminal Operation>...is too powerful, too strong!! Here we want to ask her, is there no word 'believe' in her dictionary? … Quiet for a while), the devil!! You don’t even have the most basic principles of life!! A complete bad woman!'”

"Wow!! I saw the finish line!!!" Seeing the huge fox ship and the colorfully decorated finish mark, Luffy rushed up excitedly.

"Wait a minute! Luffy, put me down first!" Encore, who didn't want to join the crowd, hurriedly pulled Luffy's cheek to calm him down.

"Okay~~I'll go over and have a look, and then I'll tell you the result~~~" Luffy, who had just put down the encore and was nowhere to be seen, only dropped this sentence before disappearing into the dense crowd.

Seeing Luffy running back to those stalls to get a bunch of food and then disappearing into the crowd again, Anke just smiled helplessly, went to a place far away from the crowd and took out a crystal to sit on.At this time, Zoro and Sanji also returned here while fighting, and Chopper nervously followed behind them and kept waving his hooves.

Zoro, who finally stopped fighting with Sanji after seeing the finish line, asked lightly, "Where's that guy Luffy?"

Throwing a bottle of wine to Sauron, Anke said flatly: "Run to the crowd to watch the moment of sprinting."

"What?? Miss Nami~~Miss Robin~~" Sanji immediately squeezed into the crowd covered in pink bubbles.Chopper also trotted excitedly to follow.

"Anyway, I can hear it sitting here, why go to those people..." Sauron, who fully understood his incompetence, sat there cross-legged, biting off the bottle cap and taking a sip of wine.

"'Now there is an unexpected tragedy, Miss Polki's team stopped before the false finish line!! What a dazzling pure heart! But this is fake, hurry up and realize, Polky Miss!!'"

"'The <Barrel Tiger> is approaching the Changzhu Lin Cape! Passing here is the finish line, the final sprint!! The first round of DavyBackFight round-the-island kayaking race, now it can be said that it has reached the critical moment of victory!' "

"Wow!!!!" The crowd roared fiercely.Anke, who was sitting on the crystal, slowly shook his legs and said, "Now Nami and the others have left Foxy behind. If there is no accident, they should win..."

"Yeah, if there are no accidents..." Out of the corner of his eyes, he glimpsed Foxy the silver fox with a treacherous face appearing in the distance with the familiar strong man sitting there, Sauron just continued to take a sip of wine calmly.

"Hehe, you are right, if our boss comes, there will be accidents," a Foxy crew member who passed by them and heard their conversation said with a smile: "And, the boss is also a devil fruit capable person~~~ "

......................................................

"'The winner is <cute minivan number>, the winner of the first round of DavyBackFight is ~~ our idol Miss Polki!!'"

"Wow!! Miss Polki is the best!!!" Foxy Pirates cheered, "We can get another crew member!! Yoho~~~"

"Just now..." Anke frowned and looked at Foxy who was smiling triumphantly, "Nami's aura suddenly stopped there, what exactly is that man's ability?"

Sauron just drank in silence, when Luffy brought the rest of the crew over here, once there, Nami and the others sat on the ground and looked at each other suspiciously, as if they didn't understand that they were still ahead, But why did they lose...

Looking at Nami and the others who were a little confused, Chopper asked worriedly: "Are you all okay? Are you not injured?"

Robin said lightly: "Well, it's okay..."

Nami looked at Luffy in confusion: "What happened??"

"I want to ask too..." Usopp said with question marks all over his head, "Did we still lose in the end?"

Luffy directly said what he saw: "When I thought you were going to win, you suddenly slowed down..."

"Hahaha~~~~It's nothing incredible~" Foxy walked to Luffy and the others triumphantly with his arms akimbo, explaining the phenomenon just now: "The reason for it is the 'slow photon'~~"

Luffy asked strangely: "What is that?"

Foxy directly touched the thumb, middle finger and ring finger of the two hands together, making a gesture like an orchid finger, and then the place where the fingertips touched suddenly glowed pink: "It is the world that has not yet been recognized. The discovered factor, the thing that is illuminated by this kind of light. Whether it is a living thing, a liquid or a gas, it will lose a certain physical speed while maintaining all energy~~~”

"????" Luffy looked at the proud Foxy with an expression of 'I'm talking to an idiot' and said, "I don't understand, are you an idiot??"

"I was scolded by him instead..." Foxy knelt down on the ground in an instant, becoming very gloomy, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became dark and rainy.

Polki immediately stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Boss, don't be low~~"

"But..." Nami said strangely, "This kind of thing..."

"Are you trying to say 'how is this possible?'" Foxy, who was comforted by his subordinates, immediately glowed and continued to clasp his hands, "You should understand that such childish words will not work in this sea! Will contact Everything I get slows down, that's the 'sluggish photon'. I ate the dull fruit and became a dull person who can shoot it out of the body. See, this is its power!!".The burly man named Hamburger immediately went to a place five meters away from Foxy, raised a cannon and fired at him.

"Sluggish light!!" Pink light waves emanated from the touching fingertips, and the fast shells immediately slowed down, moving slowly along the original track like a snail.Instead of dodging the shell that was coming towards him, Foxy proudly continued to explain: "This dull effect lasts for about 30 seconds, and after that, the thing that was shot will recover its speed, as if nothing happened ~~~~" Seeing Luffy and the others looking at him in surprise, Foxy said treacherously: "Don't believe your eyes?? This is...". With a "boom", the shell that came to Foxy regained its speed after 30 seconds, and then blew Foxy up.

"Damn..." Usopp looked at the guy who was knocked down by the shell in disbelief: "So it was defeated by that?"

Sanji also bit his cigarette and frowned and said, "So that's why those guys are so confident in the game, and they have such an ability to play tricks!"

Polki said loudly: "In short, do you understand?? You lost!!"

Foxy also got up and said proudly: "The first round, the kayaking race around the island, we are the ones who won!"

..................................................................

"'The first round is over!! Now it's time for the winning captain to pick the spoils~~~'" There was a burst of gongs and drums from the other side of the stage.Immediately afterwards, Foxy, who was very proud, appeared on the stage. Facing the fate of being chosen, some of Luffy and the others were nervous (Nami, Usopp, Chopper), and some were full of anger (Lu Fei, Sanji), some with a calm face (Encore, Robin), and some drinking heavily with their backs to the stage (Zoro).

"First of all, what I want most is..." The finger wandered around among the members of the Straw Hat Pirates and then landed on someone's face: "It's you!! Ship doctor Tony Tony-Chopper!!" At the end of the day, two people forcibly picked up Chopper, who was incoherent in a panic, and walked onto the stage.Hugging the struggling Chopper, Foxy kept rubbing his face against Chopper: "It's really a rare creature~~ It's softer than imagined~~~"

"Hate~~ Boss also let me touch it~~~" Boerqi also stepped forward happily, and after taking the thrown Chopper, rubbed it happily: "Super cute~~Talking reindeer~ "

"That bastard, is the target Chopper?" Sanji looked angrily at the people on the stage with his hands in his trouser pockets: "But think about it, that guy is indeed a rare beast among rare beasts!"

Nami touched her face nervously: "Does he have a habit of collecting cute things?"

Robin also guessed: "Could it be that you like furry things?"

"Hey!! Is this the time to say this??" Usopp said loudly: "Now the partner has been snatched!!"

"Everyone..." Chopper on the stage was placed on a stool, and Foxy was forced to put on the black mask with tears in his eyes. Looking at Luffy and the others in the distance, Chopper finally couldn't help crying out. Voice: "Everyone!! I just want to go to sea with you! No!! I don't want to!!! Luffy... Luffy invited me to go to sea!! I don't want to be with such a guy, don't!! I am... the ship doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates, Tony Tony Chopper!! No!!!"

Hearing Chopper's sad cry, Zoro suddenly put the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, and said loudly: "Don't cry like this, Chopper! It's embarrassing! If you want to go to sea, you have to take responsibility! No matter where you are killed, it is your own responsibility, no wonder others! We accepted this challenge, Usopp, they and you have done our best!" Standing up slowly, Zoro looked back and was still full of tears Chopper said: "In the world of pirates, no one will sympathize with such tears! If you are a man, just grit your teeth and watch this game!!"

Chopper on the stage was quiet for a few seconds after hearing these words, sniffed his nose suddenly, wiped away his tears and sat on it like a man with his hands folded and said firmly: "I will not be slaughtered!! Don't worry! !"

"Woohoo~~~~~ This swordsman is a good guy!!! Boss, we want him next time!!" Cheers came from the crowd immediately.Luffy and Usopp were also shouting excitedly: "Okay!! Zoro! Get rid of those bastards!! Take Chopper back!!"

Sauron put his hands on the hilt of his sword and smiled calmly: "Let's start quickly..."

"Having said that, there are still two rounds of competition..." Sanji lightly lit his cigarette and said calmly, "I not only want to win back our precious ingredients, but also want more~"

"The lack of Chopper in the boat is a big deal~~" Anke flicked her long ponytail behind her back, showing a smile that must be won: "After all, he is the only one on the boat who is shorter than me~ ~ Ignoring the gigantic time."

Nami said worriedly: "Although Encore is there, it will be more difficult to get those two guys to cooperate..."

Slowly walking towards a simple football field on the vast grassland, Zoro said lightly to Sanji: "If you are afraid, you can withdraw, idiot cook..."

Sanji said fiercely: "No, no, you better get out, you bastard!!"

"If you dare to get in the way, both of you get out~~" An Ke, who was sandwiched between the two, smiled sweetly, ignoring her existence and scolding from afar, even fighting? ?Although she was a little shorter, even a little shorter than a normal ten-year-old girl, she couldn't allow tall people to ignore her like this.

"Ah, Encore/cutie?? When were you among us??" Now someone happened to hit the gun, and it was still two people.

"what!!!!"

Calmly retracting the crystal that spread out from his feet and knocking them into the air, Anke flicked his ponytail and turned back to Zoro and Sanji who were lying on the ground with a sweet smile: "What did I just say?? Suo, Long, Jun~~Shan, Zhi, Jun~~~”

"I'm sorry..." The two voices were weak but in perfect harmony.

"Huh..." Seeing Encore who completely suppressed Zoro and Sanji, Nami let out a big breath and said with a smile, "Fortunately, Encore is there~~~~"

..................................................................

The playing field for ball skills was built not far from the coast, in the shape of a huge 'sun', with a huge circle drawn in each half, and a huge swimming circle at the goal position.Nothing else...

"'Then let me explain the rules of the GROGGYRING game!! There are two goals on the playing field, and if you put the ball in, you win! However, it is not an ordinary ball, but a human! The two teams first decide who will be the ball !'"

At this time, a person walked up to Encore and the others who were standing together, and asked, "Which of you is playing the ball??"

"He~" Anke and Zoro pointed at Sanji tacitly, and in the next second a ball cap with red and white stripes was put on Sanji's head before he could react: "This is the ball man's sign!"

"'Next, listen to their entrance accompaniment, this is also the elite team of GROGGYRING that has never lost!! Yes, failure is impossible for them! Their name is'Waggy Monster Group !!" With the host's voice, the jaw of Foxy Pirates' fox head began to slide down slowly, and the three giants standing on the lifting platform were taller than each other.Watching them enter the arena one by one from high to low, the Foxy pirates standing on the constantly shaking ground cheered louder and louder: "Kill them!!!"

"'At the front is the four-legged strange hamburger (5 meters), followed by Picurus (8 meters), known as the interceptor machine, and the last is the combination of murlocs and giants Bikupanda (18 meters). m)!! It’s the march of the monsters! Come on come on come on!!'”

"Why do I have the urge to cut them off when I see them..." As his eyes rose, Anke raised his head higher and higher, until his neck hurt and he barely saw the murloc's face Above the head, there seems to be a ballman's logo on it.

"Really..." Sauron moved his neck and looked at those guys, and raised one corner of his lips: "Then, let's chop it off..."

"'The next battle with our monster army is~~ In the first round, the violent chef Sanji who will kick the army away, and the little vice-captain Encore who turns the sea into crystal, and then the 6 million Bailey Bounty Offender—Pirate Hunter Nonoroa Zoro!!'”

"Boss asked us to deal with some powerful people, but it turned out to be some small ones? And there are children? Hahahaha, right, Bikupan?" Piculus looked at the people in front of him with contempt, and smiled sarcastically. .

"Huh??" The fish giant who was named put his hands on his ears with a puzzled look on his face.Hamburger covered his mouth and laughed until his shoulders were moving: "He can't hear~~"

"Now toss a coin to determine the dominance..." A referee went to the middle of the two teams and tossed a coin, and Hamburger immediately said "tails".

"What about you??" The referee looked at Encore and the others.Anke just narrowed his left eye slightly and said, "Front..."

The referee opened his hand and said, "On the other side..." Then he looked at Hamburger and the others with a treacherous smile: "Do you want to choose the right to serve or the venue?"

"Right to serve~"

"'The one who won the serve is our <Wagling Monster Combination>! The players of the Straw Hat team, please go to the enemy's service circle and take their positions!! Each side of the game has a player wearing a ball print on his head to act as a player, As long as the enemy's ball is scored into the enemy's ring gate, it is considered a victory~~'"

"Hey, Baller," Sauron pointed to the opposite circle and said, "Hurry up and take your place..."

"Wait a minute, when did I say I'm going to be a ball player??" Sanji pointed impatiently at the thing above his head and said, "Who wants to wear such a silly thing??"

Encore, who also didn't want to wear that silly hat, said lightly: "Zoro, say something to comfort Sanji~"

Zoro frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Sanji in surprise and said, "Oh, this ball suits you well~~"

"Don't follow me, who will be fooled by you!! Idiot!!" After Sanji yelled at Zoro, he immediately lowered his head and said to Encore with a smile: "I'm not talking about you, cutie~ ~~”

Seeing Sanji who still didn't want to give in, Enke had no choice but to use a unique trick: "Nami! You go!!"

"OK!! Sanji-kun~~ That ball really matches you~~~~"

"I'm sure!!" Sanji immediately raised his hands firmly and said, "I'm born to be a ball player!!"

"It's really a good match, like a prince~~" Sauron commented lightly.Sanji immediately put his chin on his face, but Zoro's next sentence completely defeated him: "It's just the prince of the idiot country..."

Unsurprisingly, there were two people who kicked and kicked each other with knives. When the audience's Luffy and the others almost had their jaws glued to the ground, but out of the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of the squinting and smiling child who was so innocent, cute and sweet. , trembling unconsciously for a moment, tacitly drawing hundreds of crosses and praying for Zoro and Sanji in his heart.

"You, you, yes, no, yes, need, want, calm, calm, one, down..." The bloodless lips parted slightly, but the simple words that were spat out made Sauron and Shan who were fighting in full swing. Ji felt a deep chill in an instant, and kept kicking his legs with a knife. Both of them saw bad news on each other's faces.He turned his neck stiffly and looked towards the place where the sound came from. When he saw the cute smiling child who was slowly untying the ribbon with the Snow-colored Demon Sword, he screamed out tacitly: "Ah!!!"

"Catkin snow!!!" The thick and dense snowflakes mercilessly completely submerged the two people who were frozen there, and then directly piled up into a small hill there.Holding Xue Lian and staring at the grave-like hill, Anke chuckled and said, "Have you calmed down? If you calm down, I will get rid of them quickly! Are you clear??"

A vague sound came from the snowdrift, and Anke was satisfied to take back all the snowflakes with Xuelian. You have to know how to cherish it. Even the demon knife can't summon ice and snow infinitely~~
Zoro and Sanji, who were liberated from the snowdrift, are still maintaining that movement, but they are constantly shivering from the cold.After Encore sealed Xue Lian with crystals, she looked at them and smiled and said, "Why, do you still want to calm down? Suo, Long, Jun, Shan, Zhi, Jun~~~"

"No!! Cutie!!!" Sanji immediately walked away from Zoro full of energy, "I'm already very calm! Super calm!!"

Sauron just retracted the knife in silence. Sure enough, a snowfall in such a hot weather seems to be very good, but the little guy's snow is a bit too cold...

Seeing that the encore had been done, the referee said loudly: "Wait a minute, it's a foul to carry a weapon, put the knife down."

"'Yes!! This game is a game of skill, so no weapons!!'"

Encore and Zoro just shrugged needlessly, put the knife in front of Luffy and the others, and then slowly walked towards the court.Sauron clenched his fists and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I don't care if I have a knife or not..."

"Are you okay? You, a swordsman without a sword is equal to..." Sanji turned his head back and said, "It's just trash~~"

"You have an idiot curly eyebrow!!" Sauron rushed up with his fists clenched.

"Hmph, I'm not wrong~~" kicked Sanji with the tip of his shoe to fight back.

"Hehehehe~~~~" Enke clasped his hands and smiled very calmly, yes, strange, normal, cold, quiet!

When their fists and feet were about to touch each other, Zoro and Sanji heard Anke's sinister laughter, and immediately stepped back a dozen steps, sweating but breathed a sigh of relief.

Satisfied to see the two quiet down, Encore pointed to the circle where the giants were and said, "Sanji, go over there!"

"Extremely happy~~~cutie~~~~~~"

"'Okay!! Straw Hat team player Sanji has entered the enemy's service circle!'"

Seeing Sanji walking past, Zoro said his wish: "Hey, stinky cook, just wait to be trampled!".Huge cheers immediately came from outside the court: "Stomp on them!! Bikupan!!!".And the opponent's three giant guys were laughing happily for some reason.

"'Okay!! <Shaggy Monster Combination> is always inexplicably elated!! Then, with this enthusiasm, no time limit, one goal will determine the winner!! The Straw Hats can win the first round Can the walking reindeer get it back? Or can the Foxy team snatch a crew member from the other side again?? The exciting GROGGYRING is about to blow the flute to the start of the race!!'”
