Chapter 89 Is This The Crew Of The Shichibukai? A Bunch Of Monsters!

"Sure, I accept your challenge!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, not only the Foxy West Blue Pirates, but even the Straw Hat Crew showed surprised expressions.

"Huh? Luffy, are you accepting their challenge?" Nami blinked her eyes. "Although I don't think we will lose, isn't it the time for training?"

"Training and games won't conflict."

On the other side, the pirates of the Foxy Pirates opened their mouths one by one.

"What should we do? What should we do? He actually agreed!"

"Ah, we're done for, we will definitely lose!"

"If we lose, what if Straw Hat Luffy chooses me as a crew member?"

"He will definitely choose me! Damn it, I'll become one of Shichibukai's subordinates in the future!"(¬‿¬)

"You fool, have you forgotten about Captain Foxy? You a reckless idiot without any bottom line! Do you deserve to be called a pirate? No need to think, if we lose, I'll join their crew"

Hmph!

Suddenly, a cold snort sounded.

The noisy pirates all shut up and looked at their captain.

Foxy's face turned dark, he didn't expect that Luffy would actually agree...

After all, the positions of the two sides are not equal, usually he would get to add some additional conditions.

[Damn Straw Hat, what is he planning?

Did he really set his sights on me?

That's right, that must be it!]

[If I lose, he will definitely choose me as their captain. Damn it!]

Farewell, excellent crew members of the Foxy Pirates. If I am chosen, I will definitely bid everyone farewell with a big smile!

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Foxy's eyes.

"Indeed, he must have been attracted to my excellent personality and beauty. I am truly the most suitable person for the Straw Hat Pirates! He will definitely choose me!"

"What are you talking about, Captain?" The beautiful crew member looked at him with disdainful eyes.

Panicked!

Foxy coughed and accidentally revealed his inner thoughts, "damn."

"Cough, cough, I understand now, Straw Hat Luffy! Since you have accepted my challenge, then let's begin, the Pirate Game!

He leaped down and jumped off the ship.

"It's up to you to choose what game to play. Baseball? Rowing? Sniping? Octagonal cage? Or team battle? Speak up! As the one who accepted the challenge, it's up to you to decide today's competition!"

Luffy's mouth curled slightly.

This guy is the Slow-Slow Fruit user, and this ability is quite powerful, but unfortunately, he's an idiot himself.

Since the other party has come to him willingly, he doesn't mind taking in another crew member.

"Let me think... Ordinary pirate games aren't really interesting."

Luffy thought for a moment and immediately smiled, "How about a team battle?"

"A team battle? What's that?"

"All the members of both of our pirate crews participate in the competition. The side with more survivors in the game wins."

Luffy looked at the two women beside him, "Nami, Vivi, create a larger thundercloud."

Although they didn't know what he was up to, the two women nodded in response to the command.

Vivi raised her right arm, palm facing the sky.

In an instant, the clear sky was suddenly covered in dark clouds.

A light drizzle started falling on the great grassland.

"The weather... has changed?!"

"Did this woman do it?"

"A Devil Fruit user!?"

The members of the Foxy pirate crew looked up in shock.

Then, Nami smiled and snapped her fingers.

The snap produced an electric current that shot up into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Immediately after, a loud rumble echoed.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the dark clouds.

The Fok West crew felt a chill run down their spines, their faces turning pale as they swallowed their saliva.

"Ca-Captain... Are we really going to compete? This is definitely... a Logia user's ability!" A burly man with a strong presence said in a trembling voice.

The Fok West crew was already scared silly, their jaws dropping to the ground.

Logia, one of the rarest types of Devil Fruit.

In the current era, the three Admirals of the Marines are Logia users.

They are: Ice, Magma, and Light!

And the two women standing next to Straw Hat Luffy must be, with a little bit of thinking, they immediately came to a conclusion.

Thunder Fruit!

Clouds, or Rain Fruit!

Gudong!

Foxy swallowed his saliva. Are these the crew members under the Shichibukai? Just two women, but they are monsters!!

"Um..."

"You can't back out now."

Luffy narrowed his eyes slightly, his Conqueror's Haki stirring but not released.

In Foxy's eyes, at this moment, sitting there with his legs crossed, holding a cup of tea, Luffy seemed to have a terrifying demon behind him.

The demon's tentacles were like black and red lightning, ready to strike at any moment.

"Alright! Let's continue the game! How exactly do we play?" Foxy immediately changed his tone.

"It's simple. Later, lightning will continuously strike from the thunderclouds. Everyone will be under the thunderclouds and find a way to avoid the lightning. After one hour, the side with more people still standing will win."

Luffy smirked, "This is a rule that favors you, isn't it? After all, you have over a hundred people."

In line with his words, Nami immediately brought down a lightning strike.

Boom!

The lightning struck the grassland, instantly turning a patch of green grass into blackness.

Foxy and his crew: "..."

Dead!

We will die!

"Wait!" The beautiful crew member wearing a strange hat immediately said, "This is unfair. You can completely control who the lightning strikes!"

"Well then, let's do it like this. Two lightning strikes per second, one for each side. Nami, be careful with your control, don't electrocute anyone, okay?"

"Don't worry, Luffy~"

Nami showed a wicked smile.

Luffy nodded in satisfaction and said, "Other than that, there are no additional conditions. We will start in one minute, and everyone will enter the cloud area."

Saying that, he took out a pocket watch and started timing.

Is this fair? Not fair.

Because Nami can completely control the power of each lightning strike, she can make it stronger when attacking the Foxy pirate group and weaker when attacking her own crew members.

But there is never absolute fairness in the world. It's originally a game, as long as both sides can accept it.

Of course, Luffy is not planning to do that. He originally intended to conduct training for the Straw Hat Crew, and this training mode was originally scheduled for later.

Since Foxy has challenged, they might as well do it together.

"What should we do, Captain? Although I also want to join the Shichibukai, I don't want to be struck by lightning and die!"

"You bastard, you actually said what's on your mind!"

"Don't... don't panic, as long as we hold on, there will be a chance to be chosen!"

Fokxy West's face turned dark, and he snorted, "Hmph, since the game has already started, no one is allowed to quit. Do you want our pirate flag to be humiliated? Attack!"

He waved his hand and took a step into the thundercloud.

Seeing that their enemy captain had taken the initiative to stand up, the Straw Hat Crew smiled and followed suit, stepping into the thundercloud one after another.

Finally, the remaining pirates of the Foxy West Blue pirate group hurriedly followed suit.

"Time's up!" Luffy closed the pocket watch. "Nami..."

"Wait, wait, aren't you three participating?" someone protested.

"Of course not, it will be unfair for the three of us to participate. This is a favor to you. Alright, let's begin, Nami."

Luffy waved his hand, picked up the glass of grape juice, and took a sip.

"Yes~"

Nami raised her right palm, with electric currents flowing in her palm. In the next moment, a lightning bolt struck the clouds in the sky.

Boom!

The lightning strikes began to erupt.

Two lightning bolts struck, one towards the Straw Hat Crew and the other towards the Fokke West group.

In an instant, screams filled the air.

Among the Straw Hat Crew, the one who was almost struck was Zoro. With his Observation Haki, he dodged at the first moment and rolled on the ground.

"Hey! You are trying to hit me first, Nami, was that intentional!?"

"Miss Nami, well done!" Sanji applauded.

On the other side, the Foxy pirate group was not so lucky. A big guy was struck by lightning and immediately convulsed, falling to the ground with his hair standing on end.

"Capote!" everyone shouted.

"Don't get distracted, focus on dodging," Nami, with a evil smile, kindly reminded.

In the blink of an eye, the second lightning strike arrived.

Followed by the third, the fourth...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The frequency of two lightning strikes per second made everyone afraid to lose focus.

One by one, they looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, ready to dodge at any moment.

But soon, they realized that staring was useless. The lightning was too fast. By the time they realized it was going to strike them, it had already come down.

Unless they mastered Observation Haki and could hear the "sound" of the lightning strike in advance!

"Run!" someone shouted, and the next moment a group of people quickly fled.

Some even tried to run out of the range of the thunderclouds, but a thunderbolt that could pierce the earth like a death warning made those who had the idea of skipping class quickly give up.

In just ten minutes, half of the Foxy pirate group was already lying down.

Vivi covered her mouth and whispered, "Mr. Luffy, will this kind of training be useful?"

"Just helping them move faster. Deliberately controlling the frequency of the lightning strikes. Originally, the plan was for ten strikes per second," Luffy shook his head.

As long as we squeeze their potential, they will always become stronger, and besides, it won't kill them.

Time passed slowly.

For Luffy, it was tea time.

For the people under the thunderclouds, it was like a escaping from hell.

Just running was not enough; they also had to be careful to stay away from others because no one knew who would be struck next. If someone was nearby, they might suffer an undeserved disaster.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Every now and then, screams could be heard.

At first, it was the Foxy pirate group, but gradually, members of the Straw Hat crew were also struck.

After half an hour, the number of people decreased from over a hundred to less than 30.

And the fewer the number of people, the higher the probability of being struck.

The exhaustion of physical strength, the threat of lightning strikes overhead, the movements of the enemy members...

Everything is pressing on the hidden potential of the crowd.

If someone's physical body is strong enough, even if they are struck once, they can still stand up.

If someone is caught up by the people around them, they twitch all over from just a graze.

"Damn it! Why are they always chasing after me?"

Foxy is running for his life, with one heavy strike after another falling behind him. Gasping for breath, he couldn't help but shout,

"Straw Hat Luffy, you didn't say I couldn't use my abilities, right?"

"You can."

After receiving the reply, Foxy suddenly stops and turns around, making a gesture.

Folding his thumb, middle finger, and ring finger, and then raising his index finger and pinky, in the next moment, rings of pink light shoot out towards the top of his head.

"Slow Beam!"

At the same time as the beam of light is fired, the lightning strikes through.

In that instant, its speed is slowed down by dozens of times.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Foxy immediately takes a step back, evading the lightning strikes on top.

"Hahaha... If I can use the Slow Beam, I have nothing to fear from this mere lightning!"

He laughs triumphantly, "The one standing till the end will be me, Straw Hat Luffy!"

"Is that so?" Luffy leisurely drinks his tea, smiling without saying a word.

And the Straw Hat crew, who witnessed this scene, gradually realized what was happening.

"So you can use your abilities? Hahaha, you should have said so earlier!"

Valentine opens her umbrella and in the next moment, she flies into the air. Moving in the air, she is much faster than running on the ground.

"This is training, running in the sky is not allowed!"

Nami decisively adds a condition and snaps her fingers.

Boom!

Several lightning bolts struck Valentine in an instant, causing her to fall from the sky.

"Nami!!" Valentine screamed in agony, falling to the ground.

"Huff...huff..."

Mr. 3 pushed his glasses and waved his hand above his head, instantly creating a small candle house and hiding inside.

"What a fool, provoking the captain and harassing Miss Nami..."

Boom!

A lightning bolt struck the roof of the candle house but was blocked.

Seeing this, Mr. 2's eyes flashed and he quickly dove inside.

"Make way!"

"You bastard, don't push!"

"Can't you make it bigger?"

"If it's too big, it will attract attention. You really are an idiot!"

Upon seeing this, a cross appeared on Nami's forehead.

"I told you to train, but you're really good at slacking off!"

Once again, she raised her hand and unleashed a more powerful lightning force.

With a loud bang, the lightning pierced through the candle house, causing the two inside to convulse from the electric shock.

"Run, if you don't run, I'll keep attacking you!"

"Devil!!"

The two dared not play dead and had no choice but to get up and run.

Too strong Nami, what a pitiful scene.

Luffy couldn't help but complain in his heart.

One hour later.

The thunderstorm finally subsided.

The survivors stopped in their tracks, gasping for breath.

Whether it was the Straw Hat crew or the Foxy crew, the few people still standing looked at each other, showing a sense of sympathy.

Truly a terrifying woman.

Luffy stood up and scanned the entire room.

"Not bad, you guys have persevered, worthy of praise," he said appreciatively.

At this moment, only Foxy Pirate's captain, Foxy, was still standing, but he was also exhausted and foaming at the mouth.

As for the Straw Hat Pirates, there were eleven of them.

They were: Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Bartolomeo, Mr.1, Mr.2, Mr.3, Mr.5, and the only three females, Robin, Nojiko and Kaya.

Everyone else had been electrocuted, including her sister even the little girl wasn't spared.

As for Robin and Kaya, they were never attacked from beginning to end.

Kaya was understandable.

As for Robin, Luffy seriously suspected that she secretly gave money to Nami.

Luffy looked at Nami suspiciously, then walked towards the others.

"How effective was it?"

Sanji breathed lightly, "Luffy, you might not believe it, but the effect is much better than we imagined!"

"That's right," the silent Mr.1 couldn't help but say, "I was hit seven times, but every time my stamina was about to run out, the medicine I drank earlier would strengthen my body and give me a new surge of power!"

"About an hour is just about right, and now this effect has disappeared," Usopp, exhausted, lay on the ground and weakly said, "Was this also part of your plan, Luffy?"

"As long as it's effective, rest for a while and continue later."

Luffy said with a smile.

Everyone: "..."

If Nami is a devil, then you are definitely a Father of demon!

You scoundrel!!

Of course, they could only curse in their hearts.

"Rest well, good days are still ahead."

Luffy patted Zoro's shoulder, walked up to Foxy, and said, "You lost, right?"

Thump, Foxy knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

"Damn it! I have no choice, from now on, I am a member of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

Luffy: "..."

Why do you look so happy?
