【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 270 Around the Island Canoe Race

"It's their freedom to say whatever they want, Miss Porchi. We will sink them in three minutes!" Another participating crew member of the Foxy Pirates said arrogantly, "Right Moda."

"Keep it! That's the Eternal Pointer to prevent you from getting lost!" The host, sitting on the back of the sparrow, flew over and threw the Eternal Pointer to Nami and Porch respectively. "Everyone, take your positions! The game begins!!"

Porchi caught the permanent pointer thrown by the host, looked at Nami's confused expression, and said proudly, "Be careful not to stray too far from the island! Good luck to you!" After that, he immediately drove towards the open sea, "There are surprises waiting for you later!"

"Why would they leave the island and take a detour?" Nami looked at the ship that Porki left in confusion. "The shortest way forward is to take the inner route."

Usopp looked nervously at the crowd on the shore, all of whom were members of the Foxy Pirates. He always felt something was wrong.

"Both teams have set off, and at the same time, the Foxy Pirates' interference attack has begun!!" the host shouted excitedly, "The Straw Hat Pirates' Barrel Tiger was shaken and flew up! Sweetheart Gallop is far ahead at the start!!"

"Wow, this is a foul!! The audience actually attacked!!" Usopp hurriedly controlled the ship and shouted in shock.

"Hurry up and pull up the boat, it's going to sink!!" Nami shouted in horror.

Robin used the power of the fruit to sit steadily on the boat, and at the same time used the power of the fruit to control the boat under her feet.

"That was close! It almost capsized!" After stabilizing the boat, Usopp said with lingering fear, and at the same time noticed something flying over from the shore. "Look, it seems like something is flying over here!"

"Rock!?" Nami and Usopp looked at the huge rock thrown from the audience in horror. "It's going to hit us, hurry up and row!"

Just when Nami and Usopp were getting nervous and thought they couldn't escape, the rock above their heads suddenly broke into two halves and fell on both sides of them, creating a huge splash on the water and carrying their boat away into the distance.

"Phuh, I thought we were going to be hit!!" Usopp and Nami hugged each other, shouting with lingering fear.

"They are committing a foul!!" Nami looked up at the host in the sky and shouted angrily.

"Interference is common sense in pirate competitions!" Robin explained, then looked in the direction of the audience and said with a smile, "However, if foreign aid is allowed, we should have the same conditions."

"What are you doing to Miss Nami and Miss Robin!? Bastards!" Sanji kicked the pirates who had just made trouble away and said, "I will break your bones!!"

"Sanji!!" Usopp shouted in surprise.

"Hurry up and catch up with them!" Qi dealt with the pirates who tried to sabotage him, and shouted to Usopp and the others on the ship, "Leave them to us!"

"Okay! Catch up!!" Usopp shouted excitedly.

Under Nami's command, they soon saw the ship of the Foxy Pirates, and when they were about to overtake them in one go, the people on the opposite ship suddenly attacked them, splitting the sea in front of them into two, and at the same time cutting off one third of the small boat.

"Damn it!! Special move... Flame Star!!" As soon as he stabilized, Usopp immediately launched a counterattack, but his attack was easily blocked by the fishman. Usopp clenched the slingshot in his hand and glared at the arrogant fishman angrily.

"Eight-wheeled flower blossoms!" Robin crossed his hands and used the fruit power to easily catch the fishman "Folding switch!"

"Well done, Robin!" Nami looked at the fallen fishman and shouted excitedly, "Quick, Usopp, now is the time to get in the water and tow the boat!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Usopp shouted in shock, "How is that possible?!"

In the audience, Luffy and Chopper, who had already dealt with the troublesome pirates, saw Robin easily deal with her opponent and immediately cheered them on excitedly, "Okay, charge forward!!"

Lucci frowned as he looked at the Foxy pirate who avoided the crowd and left alone.

Qi also noticed the two people who left quietly and asked, "Is one of them the troublemaker? What bad things are they planning to do?"

"Just follow them and you'll find out." Lucci grinned.

"I leave it to you." Qi smiled and patted Lucci's shoulder.

……

"Look, this is a wind shell!" Usopp took out a shell from his bag and said excitedly.

"You are so smart, use it now!" Nami said excitedly. With the Fengbei, they wouldn't have to row so hard and would be able to catch up quickly.

Nami looked at the boat that was moving slowly after the wind shell was installed, and immediately shouted angrily, "You are not as fast as I can row!!"

"When we were on Sky Island, even if there were only two or three people on the boat, it was still very fast!" Usopp explained weakly, and then added, "It should be a matter of quantity and size."

"No wind shell?" Nami asked puzzledly.

"That kind of thing can't be obtained! Idiot!" Usopp stared at the ship in front of them that was getting farther and farther away, and said anxiously, "Is there no way to defeat that shark engine? This concerns one of our companions!"

"Yes, if we lose, they will definitely take me away because I'm the cutest!" Nami covered her mouth in pain, "We must not let this happen!"

"This is impossible..." Usopp complained "Hurry up and row!"

Nami punched Usopp hard, then looked at Robin who was sitting leisurely in her seat reading a book, and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Robin, what are you doing? You're reading a book!"

"I'm rowing." Robin raised her head and looked at Nami innocently, indicating that she was using the power of the fruit to row the boat.

Nami looked at the extra arm on the oar...she swallowed the rest of her words silently, turned around and saw Usopp sticking his butt out at the stern, fiddling with something. "What are you doing? Usopp."

"Do an experiment!" As soon as Usopp finished speaking, they felt a strong push on their backs and immediately fell to the ground. "Ah!!!"

"Huff, stop!" Usopp collapsed on the boat, gasping for breath.

"What did you do, Usopp? How could it be so fast?" Nami asked in surprise.

"We have surpassed our opponents." Robin said in surprise as he looked at the ship that was lagging behind them.

"Yes... Impact Bey!" Usopp said breathlessly, then covered his right hand with a look of pain on his face, "Wow... My shoulder... is going to be dislocated."

"I didn't expect that one could produce such a huge impact..." Nami said in surprise, "Although it only lasts for a moment, it's very fast and very useful..."

Before Nami could finish her words, the opponent who had been behind them just now suddenly rushed past them and ran ahead of them again.

"That shark is so damn annoying! Our advantage is gone again!!" Nami shouted angrily.

"How about this?" Robin quietly used the power of her fruit to pull the boat in front and move their boat forward.
