Chapter 167: 1 Win, 1 Loss!
Chapter 167: 1 Win, 1 Loss!
Picking up where we left off, the David Tournament resumed, but the Straw Hat crew quickly lost four members, leaving only Luffy and Goten alive. Moreover, the Foxy Pirates were serving, putting the Straw Hat crew at a significant disadvantage…
When Foxy pulled out his only weapon of the match, the Unstoppable King, the Straw Hat Pirates were in a very dangerous situation. However, even so, the Foxy Pirates had a new trick up their sleeve. Each of them took out a fake ball and began passing it back and forth with the real ball to confuse Luffy and Goten.
Seeing this, Luffy scoffed, "Why don't we just catch them all? Come on!" With that, the Foxy Pirates started throwing balls. Luffy immediately started catching the balls, while Goten kept observing with his eyes. Then, he tilted his head and grabbed a ball with his right hand, letting the other balls hit him.
Upon seeing this, the Foxy Pirates immediately asked the referee to eliminate Goten. However, after careful observation, the referee concluded, "Goten caught the real ball, so the fake ball that hit him doesn't count..." The Foxy Pirates were instantly shocked and speechless upon hearing this...
Seeing this, Foxy immediately shouted, "Don't be too smug, watch my 100% Accuracy King!" With that, Foxy decisively put another ball into the 100% Accuracy King and then fired directly at Goten. However, this time Goten stood still and easily caught the ball with his left hand, putting it into his pocket.
Goten, having received two balls, tossed one to Luffy. The two exchanged a glance, then leaped high into the air simultaneously, shouting, "Gum-Gum Impact Cannon!" They then launched the balls at the same time, sending them hurtling straight towards the Foxy Pirates' territory. The speed of the balls was so fast that Foxy and the others' legs trembled uncontrollably.
The two balls crashed into the Foxy Pirates' arena like meteorites. When the smoke cleared, there was no one left on the opposing team's field. The referee immediately announced, "The winner is the Straw Hat Pirates!"

When it came time to choose, Luffy immediately declared, "We choose Yukina!" Yukina then removed her Foxy Pirates mask and joined the Straw Hat Pirates... The first thing Yukina did upon joining the Straw Hat Pirates was to hug Chopper and give him a taste of what was to come, much to Chopper's annoyance as he yelled, "Don't do that, you bastard..."
In the second round, the "Tumbler Falls Down" contest, also known as "Red Light, Green Light," is a competition where the team that first touches the person who is the "demon" wins. The Straw Hat Pirates' contestants are Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper, while the Foxy Pirates' contestants are Porchi, Hamburger, Gildida, Bikupanda, Fishman Cabote, and Picurus.
The one giving the starting signal was the stilt-walking old man, Dongjiman. However, what's unfair is that the Straw Hat Pirates' track was all curves, while the Foxy Pirates' track was a straight line. It seems that a completely fair race is practically impossible for the Foxy Pirates...
At the start of the race, Cheetah Gilgida took the lead and left everyone behind. Chopper immediately activated his leg-strengthening ability and quickly jumped to close the distance, while Usopp took out his slingshot to hinder Gilgida's progress...
When Picculus, Bicpanda, and the fishman Cabotei attacked as a team, Zoro and Sanji acted decisively. Zoro easily blocked Picculus's attack, Sanji kicked Bicpanda away, and the fishman Cabotei lunged at Nami, but was deceived by the mirage created by Nami's Clima-Tact and fell into the water. At that moment, Dongjiman had just finished shouting the command and turned his head to see the knocked-down and moving Bicpanda and Picculus. Unfortunately, Cabotei, who had surfaced, was also eliminated.
At this moment, Chopper was in second place, with the cheetah Gilgida still in first. As Dongjiwan started giving the commands again, everyone sprang into action once more. Chopper tried his best to catch up with Gilgida, but the next second, Porchi shouted from behind, "Cute little deer, don't run so fast! Let me hug you!"
Upon hearing this, Chopper immediately doubled his speed, overtaking Gilgida. However, he missed Dongjiman and rushed straight into the sea. Goten, seeing this, quickly set off to rescue Chopper. After Dongjiman shouted the command, Chopper was also eliminated. Gilgida was now less than ten meters away from victory...
Seeing this, Usopp and Nami immediately realized that things were going badly and that they were bound to lose if things continued like this. After a moment of brainstorming, Usopp suddenly came up with a plan and shouted to Sanji, "Sanji, Nami just said that if you win this round, she'll wear a bikini for you!" At this moment, Dongjiwan also started shouting commands again.
Upon hearing Usopp's words, Sanji instantly became incredibly energetic, dashing off at light speed. He knocked Porchi's hamburger aside, caught up with Gilgida, and kicked him away just as Gilgida was about to touch Dongjiman. At that moment, Dongjiman finished his command, and Gilgida, who was falling, was eliminated...
The scales of victory had completely tipped in favor of the Straw Hat crew. However, at that moment, Porgi, who had been knocked away, fell to the edge of a cliff and lost her footing. In response, Sanji decisively abandoned his chance to win and turned to rescue Porgi. Sanji bravely rushed into the water to retrieve Porgi, but was eliminated by Tokiwa.
Sanji, heartbroken over losing his bikini after being eliminated, is suddenly kissed by Porchi, and instantly forgets everything...
Hamburger was the only one left on the Foxy Pirates' side, and he was unconscious from the earlier impact. Seeing this, Usopp and Nami finally felt like heroes. When Donjiman started calling out the commands again, the two immediately sped up. However, they didn't notice that Zoro had already left the group...
After several rounds, Usopp and Nami finally reached Dongjiman, victory seemingly within their grasp. Just as Dongjiman called out the command again and Usopp and Nami prepared to claim their win, Zoro, who had finally found his way, encountered a hamburger blocking his path and kicked it away...
As a result, Usopp and Nami, who were so close to victory, were pinned down by a hamburger falling from the sky. The hamburger's hand slapped Dongjiman on the head first, and in the end, the Foxy Pirates won the match unexpectedly...
When it came to the selection process, just as Porchy was staring intently at Chopper, Foxy spoke up: "I choose Straw Hat Boy!"
Everyone was shocked by these words. Foxy said triumphantly, "Hahaha, I choose you, Straw Hat Boy. That way, no one will fight in your third round of the captain's duel. This is my brilliant idea, hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Goten immediately burst into laughter. While Foxy was puzzled, Goten decisively pulled out the agreement he had others sign the day before, indicating that he could take over as captain since he was absent. Thus, the final captain showdown was between Foxy, the captain of the Foxy Pirates, and Son Goten, the acting captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!
