Chapter 17 - chapter 17 Long Ring Long Land Arc

Screen 1 — "The Island of Long and Laughs"

After leaving Skypiea with treasure and new legends behind them, the Straw Hat Pirates sail into Long Ring Long Land — a chain of oddly shaped islands that rise and sink with the tides.

Everything is stretched — trees, birds, horses… even carrots.

Ben (looking around): "Did someone hit copy-paste on the environment?"

Usopp: "I think this island has a long problem."

They meet Tonjit, an old man stranded on stilts for ten years after the tide changed.

Luffy helps him down, laughing — until a sleek ship drifts into view.

Enter Foxy the Silver Fox, captain of the Foxy Pirates — smug grin, ridiculous afro, and a mirror pistol at his hip.

Foxy: "You've entered my domain, Straw Hats! How about a little game to make things interesting?"

Luffy: "Game?"

Foxy: "The Davy Back Fight! Pirates' honor is on the line!"

Ben: "So… it's Mario Party. But with kidnapping."

The rules are simple — or not.

Each round, the losing crew must surrender one crewmate to the winner.

Luffy (grinning): "Alright, you're on!"

Ben (sighing): "This'll end well."

Screen 2 — "Round One: Donut Race"

Teams:

Straw Hats: Zoro, Nami, Ben

Foxy Pirates: Hamburg, Pickles, Porche

Rules: Race across the canals in donut-shaped boats.

Cheat Clause: Foxy's Noro Noro Beam slows opponents for 30 seconds.

---

The Race Begins!

Ben uses XLR8, running across the water to push the Straw Hat boat like a turbo engine.

Ben: "We've got this!"

Zoro: "Try not to fall in, lizard boy!"

Sanji (from another team): "And don't touch Nami-swan's boat!"

Halfway through, the Noro Noro Beam fires — everything slows like syrup.

Ben's vision distorts, and he instantly realizes the trick.

Ben: "He's not stopping time — he's bending light speed!"

He slaps the Omnitrix — FLASH! "Chromastone!"

The beam hits his crystalline body and bounces back — freezing Foxy's own crew in slow motion.

Zoro (grinning): "Nice counter."

Ben: "Too bad you can't steer."

Right after, Zoro and Sanji's arguing makes them veer off course and crash into a reef.

Foxy's team wobbles across the finish line first.

✅ Winner: Foxy Pirates

❌ Loss: Chopper captured

Ben (groaning): "Great. We just lost the doctor."

Zoro: "Your reflection trick worked."

Ben: "Yeah, pity teamwork didn't."

Screen 3 — "Round Two: Groggy Ring"

Teams:

Straw Hats: Zoro, Sanji, Ben

Foxy Pirates: Big Pan, Hamburg, Pickles

Rules: Use a giant ball to score a goal.

Twist: Opponents cheat relentlessly.

---

At kickoff, Zoro and Sanji immediately start bickering.

Ben: "You two done yet?"

No answer.

He sighs, hits the Omnitrix — FLASH! "Four Arms!"

He grabs both by the collars.

Four Arms: "Work together or I'll use you as the ball."

That gets them in line.

The giant fish-man goalie, Big Pan, blocks the goal.

Zoro: "He's massive."

Ben (cracking knuckles): "Good. So am I."

Four Arms slams Big Pan out of the ring like a wrecking ball.

Sanji vaults into the air, landing a Concassé kick combo, while Zoro clears defenders with wide sword arcs.

The ball soars. Ben leaps, catching it midair and throwing it like a meteor into the goal.

The ring explodes with dust.

Usopp: "That's not soccer — that's a war crime!"

Ben: "We win though, right?"

✅ Winners: Straw Hats

✅ Chopper Recovered

Zoro: "Not bad, alien."

Ben: "Only play rough sports."

Screen 4 — "Final Round: Luffy vs Foxy"

The final match — one-on-one.

Foxy: "Prepare to face the Silver Fox!"

Luffy: "You talk too much."

Luffy charges. Foxy fires his Noro Noro Beam, freezing Luffy mid-swing.

He laughs and knocks him across the ring.

From the sidelines, Ben acts quietly — using Echo Echo clones hidden in trees, generating echo waves that distort Foxy's targeting.

Ben (thinking): "If his power's light, I'll scramble the air itself."

Foxy's beams scatter — his aim ruined.

Luffy breaks through the distortion and smashes him with Gomu Gomu no Flail!

Foxy retreats to his giant Mirror Cannon, firing one last massive beam.

Ben transforms: FLASH! "Diamondhead!"

He forms a crystal wall, reflecting the energy right back.

The beam freezes Foxy in his own slowdown bubble.

Luffy: "Guess you slowed yourself down!"

Ben: "Instant karma, delivered shiny-side up."

Luffy finishes with Gomu Gomu no Megaton Punch, launching Foxy into orbit.

✅ Winners: Luffy & Ben — Straw Hat Pirates

Screen 5 — "After the Games"

The Straw Hats celebrate their ridiculous victory.

Ben: "That was… weirdly fun."

Nami: "We could've lost our crew!"

Ben: "And you call it could've. That's a win."

Luffy: "Let's play again sometime!"

Usopp: "NO!"

Zoro: "Only if Ben drives."

Ben: "Deal. But next time, no fish goalies."

As they sail away, Foxy's ship floats in the distance — slowly spinning.

Ben (grinning): "He's still buffering."
