Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Games of Deception — The Foxy Pirates Showdown

The sky above was clear and endless blue as Heaven's Embrace glided steadily away from Skypiea. The crew was still buzzing with excitement and laughter from their victory over Enel, their spirits as high as the clouds they'd just left behind. Yet, ahead awaited a different kind of challenge — one where cunning and trickery ruled, not brute strength.

Vegito's POV

I lounged on the ship's deck, tail flicking lazily, already calculating our next moves. The system's daily chime echoed softly.

System Notification:New objective unlocked: Defeat the Foxy Pirates and recruit any worthy allies.Reward: Valuable information on the New World + Crew Expansion.

"Looks like some fools want to play games," I murmured with a grin. "Let's see how much fun they can handle."

Nami's POV

Her eyes narrowed, voice dripping with annoyance. "Foxy Pirates? I've heard about those con artists. Tricksters who lure crews into 'Davy Back Fights'—games where you gamble your crewmates' freedom."

Nojiko crossed her arms, frowning. "Sounds like a headache we don't need."

Bell-mère, ever the calm, placed a reassuring hand on Nami's shoulder. "Stay alert. These games might be trickier than battles."

Arrival at the Foxy Pirates' Hideout

A strange island dotted with colorful flags and bizarre contraptions appeared on the horizon. In the harbor, a small crew with flashy uniforms waved cheerfully, led by none other than the grinning Foxy, known for his sly tactics.

"Well, well, a new crew flying that shiny ship," Foxy said with a sly grin. "I'm Foxy the Silver Fox. Care to try your luck with a Davy Back Fight?"

The Challenge

Foxy proposed a series of games — from racing to "Groggy Ring," a brutal mix of wrestling and tag. The stakes? The freedom of crewmates and rare treasures.

Nami scoffed, "Your games won't fool us."

Foxy laughed. "We'll see about that!"

The Games Begin

The crew split into teams. Laughter and taunts filled the air. The games were tough, but I noticed Foxy's tricks: sabotaged gear, fake rules, and underhanded tactics.

"Not on my watch," I said, activating Sakai to shield my team from any sneak attacks.

Battle of Wits and Strength

When Foxy escalated to cheating, I stepped in. With a flash of my godlike speed, I disrupted his traps and outmaneuvered his moves, turning the tide.

One slap sent Foxy flying into the ocean, defeated but laughing. "You're stronger than I thought, Vegito!"

Recruitment and Revelations

Impressed, Foxy's crew swore loyalty and offered information about the New World's dangers — intel invaluable for the journey ahead.

I smiled, "Welcome aboard. The Heaven's Embrace always has room for loyal friends."

Crew Reactions

Nami laughed, clapping her hands. "That was almost fun!"

Nojiko smirked, "Glad that's over."

Bell-mère shook her head but smiled warmly. "Your leadership grows stronger every day."

Chopper jumped excitedly. "Can we do it again?"

System Status Check

World Reaction

Word spread of Vegito's unbeatable strength and the growing harem of loyal women, plus now a ragtag band of former tricksters. The World Government's unease deepened. The Five Elders held urgent meetings, and Imu's expression darkened—Vegito's power and influence were becoming a clear threat.

Closing

As the sun set behind the horizon, the crew gathered on deck, singing and laughing under the stars. The road to the New World was long, but with every victory, our family grew stronger.
