Chapter 269 DAVY BACK FIGHT



Chapter 269 DAVY BACK FIGHT

"Hey! You should consider me and Chopper!" Usopp complained as he stood up from Shirley. Chopper had already bandaged Shirley, and her injuries were no longer serious. "Even if it's for us, you should try to stop Luffy."

"What? Is the great Usopp scared?" Qi teased with a smile.

"Leave it to me! I will definitely let you win!" Usopp immediately became confident after hearing Qi's words.

"Oh, then it's up to you, Usopp!" Qi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, my great Captain Usopp will never let any of his companions leave!" Usopp shouted with full energy.

Luffy, who had already made an appointment with the enemy to challenge, came back just in time to hear Usopp say something about the partners leaving. He immediately asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by partners leaving?"

"You guys, you really don't know anything!" Sanji complained.

"Don't agree to it if you don't know anything!" Usopp said angrily, shaking Luffy's shoulders. Although he was angry, Usopp still explained to him what DAVY BACK FIGHT was in Luffy's way.

"Souga!" Luffy clenched his right fist and hammered it down on the palm of his left hand. He suddenly realized, "Then everything will be fine as long as we win..."

"That's right, as long as we win." Qi looked at the pirates who had expertly transformed the competition venue, even setting up a snack stand, and said with a smile, "They are just a bunch of villains who don't dare to face the enemy head-on."

"We still have to be careful. These pirates are so confident that they can win the game. They must have some special abilities." Lucci reminded. He didn't believe that these pirates would rely on their own strength to compete.

"Indeed, they don't look like they will play the game honestly." Sanji agreed.

"Then be more vigilant." Qi agreed and looked at everyone. Now only Robin, Nami and Sanji were left here. Luffy, Usopp and Chopper went to eat and take part in some oath ceremony. Zoro went to find some wine.

"They seem to be very familiar with the Captain's personality." Robin smiled calmly and put forward his own guess, "I'm afraid they have investigated the personalities and preferences of all members of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Sister Robin is right!" Sanji immediately expressed his support.

"Only a man with a weak mind like the lecherous chef would be deceived by the enemy." Zoro appeared from nowhere with a bottle of wine in his hand.

"What did you say!?" Sanji immediately kicked out and hit Zoro.

"Why are they still fighting at this time!" Nami covered her forehead in pain. "Those pirates are so despicable and shameless. It is impossible for them to abide by the rules and compete fairly. We pirates are just simple guys..."

Lucci looked at the pirates on the stage who were swearing to abide by the Three Treaties of Defeat with Luffy, and smiled softly, "Then let them be fair."

"That sounds interesting," Robin said with a smile.

"The types of competitions are divided into speed racing, ball games, and duels." Qi looked at the competition posters brought from the stage and said, "The content is very simple, namely 'Round-the-Island Rowing Race', 'Fighting Ball Game' and the last 'Duel'. There are three traditional rules. The number of people participating in the three games cannot exceed 7 people, each person can only participate in one game, and the decided order of appearance cannot be changed."

"I want to join the duel!" Zoro said first.

"What!? No, I want to participate!" Luffy pointed at himself and loudly retorted to Zoro.

"Leave it to me, my feet are itchy!" Sanji pushed Luffy's head away, fought back at Zoro, and said unwillingly.

"In that case, the first round-the-island rowing race will be Nami, Robin and Usopp!" Qi took the registration form and wrote down the names with a pen, then looked at everyone and asked, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

The others shook their heads, only Usopp was shaking and raised his hands to try to get sympathy. "Actually, I have the syndrome of not participating in the competition!"

"I don't want to participate either! Just give up on this idea!" Nami glared at Usopp and ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

"Everyone is going to go on stage..." Robin smiled.

"Then the second match is the fighting ball match. I've read the introduction of this match and there is no limit on the number of players. The opponent should take this opportunity to arrange many people to play." Qi guessed, "So except for Luffy, the rest of us can participate in this match."

"I want to participate too!" Luffy raised his hand and said dissatisfiedly.

"The rule is that each person can only participate in one match, so if you want to participate in the duel, Luffy, you can't participate in other matches." Lucci explained to Luffy.

"Souga!" Luffy suddenly realized, "Then I want to participate in the duel!"

Lu Qi turned to look at Qi who was registering his name. "Qi, I won't participate."

"Huh?" The others looked at Lucci in confusion, not understanding why Lucci didn't want to participate. They could understand Usopp not wanting to participate, after all, it was an old problem.

"Why!?" Luffy asked confusedly.

"I will help you ensure the fairness of the game off the court." Lu Qi said with a smile.

Qi nodded and agreed, "How about this, for the second game, it will be just me, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper, and the third game will be Luffy?"

"I have no objection." Luffy nodded seriously, "As long as I can beat that idiot!"

"That's settled then. I've submitted the list." Qi said with a smile.

……

After the list was confirmed, the competition started quickly. The first one was Nami and her friends' round-the-island kayaking race. They used the three wine barrels and two oars provided by the venue as materials to make a canoe for the competition.

The rule is that no other items can be used in the competition, otherwise they will be disqualified. This competition is indeed a good opportunity for ship repairmen to show their skills, but they don’t have a ship repairman, so they can only rely on Usopp’s manual skills to barely assemble a ship for the competition.

"Then I declare that the first round of the round-the-island canoe race will begin now!!" On the stage, the host announced loudly while holding a radio Den Den Mushi.

"Both teams have reached the starting point! Now let me explain the rules!" the host announced while sitting on a big sparrow, holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"Participants must paddle around this long island floating on the sea! You can also use any weapons such as guns, cannons and bombs! Those who flee from the battle due to cowardice or other reasons will be regarded as a shame for the pirates!"

"Anyway, since we've participated, we must win!!" Nami said firmly, gripping the oars tightly.

"It's okay to sink the opponent." Robin stood calmly on the boat and said easily.

"Oh, Robin, I feel relieved when you say that!" Usopp said as he checked whether the wooden barrel under his feet was tied securely.

On the other side, Porchi, who was preparing for the game, naturally heard Robin's words and immediately retorted, "Hate it, don't say something impossible!"
