Robin faintly sensed something but couldn't make it out clearly.
She looked at Vir in confusion.
But Vir didn't give her a response.
In a flash, he vanished from sight.
All that remained where Vir had been standing were a few lingering arcs of electricity.
She couldn't even tell which direction he had gone.
Robin was once again astonished by Vir.
She turned her head to look in the direction Vir had been staring at.
But she found nothing.
Still, an ominous feeling crept into her heart.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but it felt like the temperature had dropped slightly…
"Boss! I spotted the Straw Hats' ship! They're on this island!"
"Fehfehfehfehfeh! Finally caught up to them! Good job, Porche!"
Aboard the massive and flamboyant Sexy Foxy, the ridiculously ugly Foxy grinned brightly at Porche beside him.
They had been chasing the Straw Hat Pirates for an entire day.
Today, they had finally caught up.
Foxy had long set his sights on the talented members of the Straw Hat crew.
His goal was to steal them away using the Davy Back Fight.
Currently, his crew held an undefeated streak of 920 consecutive wins.
Of course, that was thanks to their masterful cheating tactics.
Most of the crew members on the ship had been won through these games.
"With our strength, as long as we can get that Straw Hat Luffy to agree to a match, we've already won!"
A guy who looked like a gorilla chimed in.
"Fehfehfehfeh! That's right, Hamburg! Our strength is beyond their imagination!"
Foxy never even considered the possibility that their opponents would refuse, or that they themselves might lose.
After all, they had won over 900 times.
They had never lost before.
"Boss~ If we win the first round, can we take that little reindeer? That pet is just too cute~ I really want to train it a bit~"
Porche requested eagerly.
Foxy, of course, wouldn't refuse!
After all, in the end, they would take every crew member. The order didn't matter!
"No problem! I'll make sure you get to play with it! Fehfehfehfeh!"
"Let's go! I can't wait to get my hands on those two lovely ladies! Fehfehfeh!"
With that, Foxy waved his hand, and his entire crew moved out.
At this moment, Vir, having changed his appearance, stood silently on the deck, watching everything unfold.
This bunch of scumbags…
They were exactly as despicable as he had expected.
They even wanted to "train" Chopper?
Even I haven't—cough, cough…
They actually dare to mess with my reindeer?
These guys really have some nerve!
And then there's Foxy himself.
He's ugly beyond belief.
When the fight starts, I have to mess up his face.
Otherwise, it's just too disgusting to look at.
There isn't a single decent-looking person on that entire ship.
Just as Vir was about to take action and wipe out this group of fools—
A familiar voice rang out.
"Hey~! Have you guys seen Shelly? She's a horse!"
That voice was filled with unmistakable idiocy. Vir recognized it instantly.
Why did he have to show up here?!
"Luffy! Why are you running off again?! What if you get lost?!"
Another voice called out, and Vir was completely speechless.
He looked up, and just as he expected…
The one who just spoke was Zoro.
And yeah, it was definitely him.
And he said it with absolute confidence.
Since things had turned out this way, he might as well let Luffy test whether this guy was really as thin-skinned as the rumors said.
That way, he'd know if he needed to step in himself.
As long as Luffy didn't agree to any competition, everything would be fine.
If he dared to say yes, Vir would just zap him with a lightning bolt.
Hmm... on second thought, maybe a good punch would be better.
Foxy, on the other hand, was thrilled to see the entire Straw Hat crew gathered before him.
He hadn't even gone looking for them yet, and they had come right to him!
This fool looks so easy to trick!
Perfect for baiting him into a match!
"I saw her! And I caught her! She's my prize now! Do you want to save her?"
"What?! You caught her?! Of course, I want to save her! By the way, old man, your ridiculous split hairstyle is way too ugly!"
Luffy's initial expression was one of righteous fury, but as soon as he noticed Foxy's hair, he couldn't help but mock him.
Foxy had been delighted at first, ready to explain the rules of the game.
But then he heard Luffy's second sentence.
His entire demeanor collapsed.
With a loud thud, he fell to his knees.
"Y-you… Y-you're so mean~!"
"Damn it! I'll take everything from you!"
"You want to save Shelly? Then accept the most sacred duel among pirates! A battle where the winners take the losers crewmates! Well?! Do you want to save her? Shelly is our crewmate now!"
Foxy's voice grew louder and angrier, until he was practically shouting.
Hearing the words "take crewmates," Nami and the others immediately sensed danger.
Chopper shouted, "Luffy, don't agree to it!"
But before Luffy could react, Porche interjected.
"What an adorable little pet! I can't wait to have you~"
Her words instantly made Chopper's fur stand on end!
That statement was dangerous!
Chopper immediately shot back, "I belong to my big bro! He won't let you take me!"
"Big bro? You mean that Vir guy?" Porche asked.
Chopper straightened his back proudly.
But instead of being intimidated, the Foxy Pirates burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Vir? You think he can stop us?"
"Yeah! That loser who only knows how to drive a tractor? What a joke!"
"The Marines must've lost their minds to give him such a high bounty! It's hilarious!"
The entire crew laughed until they were practically rolling on the floor, mocking Vir relentlessly.
"You hear that, little reindeer? Your big bro is a loser! Join us, and you'll have a future! Fehfehfehfeh!"
Foxy sneered and tossed a bounty poster their way.
"See for yourselves! A tractor driver, seriously! Fehfehfeh!"
Chopper was furious, clenching his hooves tightly.
He was even gripping a Rumble Ball, ready to fight.
But just then, a loud gasp came from behind.
"Hey!! It's Vir's bounty poster!"
Chopper momentarily abandoned his rage and ran over, looking up at the poster in Luffy's hands.
The image showed Vir in Alabasta… driving a tractor.
And sitting on his head—was Chopper himself!
Seeing himself in the photo, Chopper's mood lifted instantly.
A photo with big bro!
Then he looked at the bounty amount.
"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…"
Everyone counted the numbers together.
"Million, ten million… hundred..."
"Two hundred million!!"
"He's worth two hundred million!!"
The group cried out in shock.
"That's insanely high! A full two hundred million! And this is just his first bounty!"
Zoro said in disbelief.
"I don't even have a bounty yet! And he's already at two hundred million! How am I supposed to compete?!"
Sanji shouted in frustration.
Nami and Usopp had similar stunned expressions.
They were truly shaken.
"Waaahhh!! Why is his bounty so much higher than mine?! This is so unfair!"
Luffy, on the other hand, started crying. His bounty had originally been 30 million, and it had recently increased to 100 million.
But seeing Vir's bounty, he found it hard to accept!
Even Robin was shocked by the bounty.
Her bounty was only 80 million... and his was already 200 million.
The only one who was happy was Chopper.
Big bro driving a tractor is so cool!
